XI NO. 27 Students protest cuts BY TOM PFINGSTEN Pride Staff Writer Hundreds of students f rom San Diego County marched through downtown last Monday as p art of a statewide walk-out in protest of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts. Official police estimates counted 750 students in the crowd, which marched f rom San Diego City College through the Gaslamp district to the state building on the 1300 block of Front Street. B efore t he march, protestors on the lawn in f ront of City College chanted and waved signs as organizers detailed the anticipated e ffects of the governor's cuts over a public address system. A similar gathering took place a fter the march in f ront of the state building on Front Street, w here six student government representatives, including one f rom CSUSM, went inside to speak with state officials. In addition to Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State, students f rom UC San Diego and several j unior colleges also attended the rally, chanting call-and-response slogans such as, " What do we want? Stop the cuts! W hen do we want it? N ow!" Passers-by stopped to listen and waiters came out of their restaurants as the noisy crowd worked its way down Market Street.

Last Friday, April 23, amidst applause f rom the gallery of parents and teachers, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), voted 11-2 to let the student b ody decide the fate of the Early L earning Center (ELC).

ASI, along with the college of education and the college of arts and science, applied for a grant f rom the First Five Commission to build a new center for children and families. The First Five Commission, which is f unded by tobacco tax, has announced an intent to award f unds to build a center that would open spring 2007; however, if the E LC closes, " the potential break in service could b e problematic," See A SI, p age 3 Campus reactions to the International Fair showcases diversity walk-out BY DAVE WERTH Pride S taff Writer BY ERIC MERCADO Pride Staff Writer Yesterday, less than a class f ull of students represented CSUSM at the Statewide Student WalkOut Against the Budget Cuts located in downtown, San Diego. Other campuses participating in the walkout were UCSD, SDSU, Miramar, Mesa, Southwestern, and San Diego City College. Out of roughly 7,000 students at CSUSM, about 150 applicants signed-up t o o ffer their support, but only 20 students actually showed up "get on the bus", according to Associated Students, Inc. Vice President of External A ffairs, Eric Roper. " I saw an ad in The Pride, but there is not much you can do in the end of the semester," said Robin Willcott, h uman development senior. " If I didn't have to go to class, I would have definitely supported." The protest lasted f rom 9 a.m. until 4 in the a fternoon.

"Although more people should have participated in the protest, without those people who went, nothing would change," Nelson said. Dr. Liliana Rossmann, professor of communications, acknowledged the walkout and stressed the importance of the budget cuts especially when concerning the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). "If EOP gets cut, there will be less first generation college graduates," Rossmann said. "These students are a key component of our student body, unfortunately only a handful of students went on the bus." "I encourage and support student's rights, exercising their power to protect the cost of education and promote positive and safe activism within their campus community," EOP coordinator, Parisa Soltani said "I couldn't go to the protest because I had to work and go to class," ASI College of Business Representative elect, Kelli Klopf said. ASI President and CEO elect, Manal Yamout, explained her opinion as to why more students did not attend. "The timing in regards to the academic calendar is off. Students are having to choose between studying for finals and protesting," Yamout said.

Our schools! Whose streets? Our streets!" WALK-OUT, from page 1 bartender pulled the front doors shut. Drawing even more attention to the protest was the police escort, made up of about a dozen motorcycle cops and a supervising officer who walked in front of the procession. Sergeant Art Doherty of the San Diego Police Department said that he was pleased with the protestors' peaceful nature. "So far they've been very wellbehaved," said Doherty. "I'm glad we can do this stuff. This is America, this isn't Iraq." According to event organizers, anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 faculty could be laid off from the CSU alone as a result of reduced higher education funding. It was also estimated that cuts could force the CSU to reduce Enrollment by up to 50,000 students next year. Other anticipated effects resulting from sweeping cuts to higher education include tuition and fee increases, larger class sizes and the elimination of assistance programs such as the EOP. CSUSM Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman summed up the situation after the march ended in front of the state building: "The effect of these budget cuts is to not only raise student tuition, but to lower faculty working conditions, and that effects the quality of education." He continued, "What happens with increased class sizes is that students, more' and more, are LUNCH: you forced to become passive consumers of knowledge, instead of active producers of knowledge.

O ne of the m ain topics of discussion for the current BOD and BOD elect was the amount of f unds that would b e allocated f rom the p rogramming board to subsidize the ELC. The p rogramming board at CSUSM is the organization that promotes campus life. Of the f our proposed 04/05 budgets that were available at the meeting, two of the proposed budgets outlined the proposed amounts to the programming board. According to the proposed 04/05 budget, if the referendum f ee increase next fall fails to pass, the f unds allocated to t he programming board could cut f rom $90,000 t o $44,584. ASI President and CEO, Honey Folk explained that t he budget, whether or not the f ee referendum passes, is still not balanced to zero. T he final budget f or the 04/05 academic year is due t o President Haynes May 10. Until the final budget is submitted, these figures are only proposals.

Many of these groups had exhibits o ffering students a wide range of information on a variety of topics, all of which was topped o ff with an international flare. K urt Lager, a senior business major, attended the f air on Thursday and found it to b e a positive experience. " I kind of ended u p at the f air by mistake between classes," Lager said, "but it was really cool to see how many people were out there, and how many countries were b e represented." Lager was surprised to finally see some school spirit on campus, and to find that it's growing beyond its reputation through events like the International Fair. With enthusiastic student participation, a large t urnout f rom student organizations and an a fternoon of promoting diversity on the CSUSM campus, the International Fair was a success FAIR, from page 1 Students w ho attended t his y ear's f air were not j ust spectators, as students volunteered t o participate in many of t he performances.

Relationships bring us pleasure, as well as pain, and when a relationship goes south, the emotional roller coaster ride that ensues is almost too much to take. There are many different paths a relationship can follow. You meet someone, you start dating, you break up and it's done. Or, you meet, start dating, fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids and magically drive off into the sunset in the soccer mom mobile. In talking to some students on campus about relationships, there are a lot of tragic stories out there. John was in a destructive relationship for approximately two years, at least that was the way that he described the relationship. John and his girlfriend were involved in a one-upping contest that involved each of them cheating on each other with former loves and the random encounters with people that they met along the bumpy path of their relationship. "When she walked in the door at the senior prom, I thought she was going to faint," John said. "I told her that I was going to just chill with friends, after she informed me that she was going to go with her ex-boyfriend. The look on her face was priceless to see me there with a date having a great time, or pretending to anyway," he said. The second year of the relationship was coming to an end when John was informed that he had been accepted to a university not close to the town where they lived. "It was raining and I can remember getting out of the truck and just sitting there together smoking when I told her," he said. The best thing that he ever did was to "get outta Dodge," leaving her and the relationship behind. The promise of a new beginning was enough for John to realize that what he had to do was start his life over in a new place without any of the emotional strain that he was dragging around. John accomplished just that and met someone else a couple of years later. They plan to get married in 2005. Lisa's relationship lasted six and a half years and an engagement was on the horizon. Lisa and boyfriend were high school sweethearts and met when she was only 15-years-old. A fter turning 21, Lisa introspectively thought about the direction the relationship was heading; what she wanted from the relationship and the reality of the relationship were different things. There were issues involving drugs and alcohol in the relationship that her partner was not willing to work through, so Lisa bettered herself and broke off the relationship. She has since met someone new and is happier with that relationship. Chris's relationship lasted about a year before it finally ended. Chris was involved with someone younger and it was clear that they never were in the same place on important issues involving the relationship. "That whole princess attitude eventually was a turn off. I gave, and she took and never gave any- thing back," Chris said. The long distance relationship that occurred after she graduated high school and went to college added to the impending doom that the relationship was poised to suffer. In addition, the relationship was so closed off from the outside world, it began to put a strain on the friendships that Chris had prior to this relationship. "She was only concerned about herself, and treated everyone else, besides me, like shit," Chris said. After putting up with the selfishness for some time, Chris finally broke it off. To get through the break up, Chris buried himself in his schoolwork and his job to fill the void that the absence of the relationship had left. Chris is happy now and is involved in another relationship with someone closer to his age. They share a lot of the same ideas about life and seem to be headed in the same direction. Jennifer and her fiance were living together with one of his friends when she began to think about her future and the man she was about to marry. Jennifer's fiancé had no job, no car and no inspiration to do anything but sit around the house. Jennifer relates that he would often think about doing something while listening to music blaring so loud that the foundation of the house, as well as the relationship, were starting to crumble. "Getting out of the relationship was always on my mind," she said. One night after a long day at school and work, Jennifer was trying to sleep and he wouldn't leave her alone. A fter he accused her of cheating on him, Jennifer had decided she had had enough. She proceeded to take off the ring and said, "Here's your goddamn ring back, why don't you go buy yourself a car with it." Jennifer moved in with a friend and is beginning to live her life the way she wants. There were some things that students would agree were good ideas in dealing with break ups. One student put it the best when she said, "Talk to friends, work out, don't drink too much and don't just hook up with anyone to See BREAK UPS, page 5 �BREAKUPS from page 4 forget about the other person." For students who need additionalhelp in dealing with a broken heart, Student Health and Counseling Services across the street from campus, offer brief (usually up to 8 meetings per year) counseling to CSUSM "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becomming more honest or courageous with each other..." Dr. Fritz Kreisler students at no charge. Much of the time a view from a person that you don't know can be more helpful than that of a person that you do know. Dr. Fritz Kreisler, staff psychologist at the counseling center, said, "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becoming more honest or courageous with each other, clarifying what each partner wants from the relationship, helping them decide University Voice whether this relationship is right for them, examining whether Do you have any advice for there are overly controlling the professors on campus? or even abusive elements in the relationship, dealing with excessive jealousy or possessiveness, sexual issues and trust."

Dr. Kreisler also said that if couples or individuals are having difficulties that seem too much to work out on their own, he would recommend they consult with someone they trust, whose view is objective and who respects them.

Coaching t raining cycle is Coach William's Now that my handsome picture accompanies my column, I am getting a lot of feedback around campus regarding topics I should cover. One topic that is constantly being brought to my attention is the f rustration regarding the collegiate athletics here at CSUSM. One common f rustration among students is that CSUSM does not have many collegiate sports, and of t h e collegiate sports that are o ffered are not among the major sports. Not to take away f rom our outstanding track, cross c ountry and golf teams, since they are doing a fine j ob, but those sports are not exactly the 'Britney Spears' of the sports world. Most of u s can remember those times during high school when we went to the football, basketball and baseball games to support the school. We also remember how much f un that was j ust to hang out with f riends while catching a game. Some CSUSM students feel like they are missing out on that athletic competition that high school gave us. " I t hink the f act that we don't have many sports at our school really takes away f rom the college experience," said f reshman Chantal Pasag. Freshman Jade Zwinger said, " I wish we had f ootball. I 've b een going u p to Sah Luis Obispo to watch all of their football games. I have also been to a few SDSU games. Isn't that s ad?" T he point that Zwinger brings up is quite ' sad'; if we want to see a college football game then we have to make our way to another college campus. The lack of support f or the few sports that we do have is of concern as well. Cougar athletes have expressed their f rustration with the f act that there is hardly any support for their teams. Cross country and track athlete A imee Bradley asked, "How do you t hink it feels seeing hardly anyone f rom CSUSM at our events?" Several weeks ago I had that same feeling when I covered t he state surfing championships at San O nofre beach. There was not a single student f rom CSUSM that attended the event other than t he ones competing. I know that the majority of students do not choose to come to CSUSM because of the sports that are o ffered. I also know CSUSM is not exactly a social campus that can b e compared t o the likes of UCSB or Colorado University. H opefully one day our school will o ffer more sports for the students, because sports can do so much f or a college campus. S uccessful p rograms can rack in t he big bucks, dinero, cash, bling-bling or whatever else you call money. Sports c an also b ring notoriety and a wider appeal to the general public, which can b e extremely beneficial f or a university. Everyone ranging f rom cougar athletes to the casual f an h as shared their opinion with m e regarding Cougar athletics. Surprisingly, I do not have all the solutions to your f rustrations. The only suggestion I have is for you to support the teams that we do have, even if you don't see them as Britney Spears.

A fterward they went to Balboa Park and listened to a reggae band to reward themselves. They deserve an award f or their organized e ffort at f ree speech. They protested cuts that according to H.D. Palmer, a spokesperson for the state finance department, are due to California's "worst fiscal crisis ever." California doesn't have enough money so Gov. Schwarzenegger and h is associates did not raise taxes and is forcing t he California higher education systems to cut even more f rom their already lean p rogramming. One of the results is raised tuition and fees. Universities and colleges throughout the entire 50 states are experiencing the same thing. But students in California pay less f or school than the vast majority of other universities in the country.. Students in California pay 21 cents to the dollar to r un the CSU system, Palmer said. Recently student f ees f or t he CSU j umped 30 percent since 2003 and another 10 percent is expected for 2004-2005. The "Student Charges & Financial Aid 2003-2004"survey, conducted b ylhe National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC), reported that national resident undergrad tuition and f ees increased by 13.9 percent f rom the 20022003 academic year. Graduate student fees increased by 11.5 percent. It is the "largest single-year increase in more than a decade" the report stated. A nd American students a ren't alone in their tuition increases, it's happening worldwide. But one disappointing e ffect f rom the cuts, f or California anyway, i s the termination of Educational O pportunity and Outreach Programs. These are necessary tools to recruit and aid students f rom underprivileged backgrounds. These students whose parents didn't go to college, who don't make enough money, and don't know how to send their intelligent children to college, need the opportunity to step u p because above all, they are people who deserve a chance. We need these students in the system f or themselves and f or the state. Another r eport by the N ASULGC states that f or every dollar invested in higher education, there is a five dollar r eturn to t he economy. But t hat's not going to happen if colleges throughout the state shut down their p rograms and limit education. A representative f or Chancellor Reed, Clara Potes-Fellows, said, "it is a very strenuous and delicate negotiation process." The Governor, the legislators and the Chancellor all want t o go in their own direction. She said we can expect less classes due the cuts, so that tells how the negotiations are going. B ut Palmer would not comment on t he f uture of h igher education in the state. He said it depends on state revenues and on what revisions have b een m ade f or t he M ay budget proposal. So while t he C alifornia state d epartment of finance work w ith the Governor, CSU b oard of t rustees, and other state agencies on c rafting t he May budget, several h undred Southern C alifornia students decided t o express t heir f rustration over t he peel b ack of state f unding. T hey all j umped on a b us yesterday t o storm t he G overnor's o ffice in San Diego. T hen they all went to listen t o a reggae b and. Well nice t o k now we still have t he f reedom of t he first a mendment in San Diego. Eric Roper, w ho helped p lan t he event, said it would t ake a lot more t han a f ew h undred students m arching to have a n influence on t he state legislators. A ll t he state employees c urrently c rafting the budget a re in such hectic environment to finish it, that who knows if t hey'll give more than a couple seconds notice to t he news of student protests. Potes-Fellows said, if the students make themselves heard then legislators and the governor will realize that someone is s uffering when they apply budget cutbacks. A nd t hat's what it takes — pro-active people t aking a stand f or what they believe in. Compliments to those w ho c ared enough to practice their right to f ree speech and o rganized protest yesterday. You a re all heroes of the CSU system, a nd of t he A merican legacy. Appreciating knowledge as our professors' s ift R v T A S O N ROBBINS By JASON R ORRTNS: Pride StaffWriter who distribute knowledge the most effectively. At CSUSM, there are certain professors that transform knowledge into something worth remembering. Certain professors help m e remember that knowledge is something worth committing my There is a slight chance I w ill limited existence to. die tomorrow. There is a slight D uring t hree years of service chance I will die today. In fact, in Academic and University you f ace similar chances.

I later came to the conclusion that he i s j ust supersmart. In addition to his seemingly paranormal understanding of events, I must also recognize Dr. A rnade's passion f or teaching. I recall one slideshow about the architecture of Cathedrals in Europe; a topic one may regard as bland. Well it was not bland to Professor A rnade. He distributed information on vaulted ceilings in the same m anner that he distributed information about the history of Christianity; - with detail, with ease, and with I t hink said success is related t o enthusiasm.

Since the store opened in 2003, w e have been attempting to get copies of book requisitions from the university, to no avail. The university's position is that Aztec Shops, because of its legal structure, is not subject to the California Public Records Act, which opens the business of its public institutions to citizens. This, despite the f act that it allows the o ff-campus store at San Diego State, where it also operates the oncampus bookstore, access to its requisitions. This, despite the fact that state universities all over California routinely hand over requisitions to their off-campus competitors. This, despite the fact that Cal State's bookstore and university allow other members of the public - namely, publisher's representatives - to view the material it denies us. I have a few problems with this treatment. First, Aztec Shops is an agent of the university and should be subject to the same legal strictures. If they outsourced their personnel management to a foundation, would they be exempt from labor laws? Second, and more important, should a public institution be in the business of stifling competition so that it can charge higher prices f or its books? Who benefits.. .the students who p ay higher prices f or their books? The community, who loses a taxpaying business? Thirdly, why should w e b e singled out f or p oor treatment? Because w e're new? Because Aztec Shops and C SUSM think they can drag their f eet until w e disappear? I wanted the student community and public to b e aware that perhaps the Cal State San Marcos administration and its agents may not have the best interests of students and public in mind. From m y perspective, at least, there appears to b e another agenda at work. Sincerely, John Kilby Manager, Discount Campus Books Vote to get George Bush out of office reported "Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency." This is only a partial list of shortcomings. Admittedly, Mr. Bush does not like to read newspapers or watch television. Perhaps if he did, h e might have a clue as to domestic or world opinion— if he even cared. Students and citizens, I humbly ask that you consider these critical issues and our future; and please— please vote. I am certain our fragile democracy needs your involvement now more than ever.

A look at three artistic organizations at CSUSM B y K YLE OTTO Pride Staff Writer The vivacious spirit of A ztec dance, the passionate p oetry of t he exquisite Spanish tongue, and t he unquenchable fervor of t he young author's imagination are but a f ew colors in the collage of artistic student organizations h ere at CSUSM. Ballet Folkorico Mixtlan P erforming lively dances f rom t he various Mexican states of Jalisco, C hihuahua, and Veracruz, as well as of the Prehispanic A ztec tradition, the student organization, Ballet Folklórico M ixtlán, hesitates at nothing t o b ring t he culture of the Mexican people to t he stage. Vice President of Mixtlán, Rosa Balcazar, remembered visions of her youth, as a little girl in Mexicali, saying, " The people love to dance, they love p arties, they love life, and it's expressed in the music and in t he dance. It reflects back on the people, the culture, on the beliefs, and the lifestyles." Founded in 1999, Mixtlán, its name meaning "People of the Skies," employs its talent for a variety of events, surviving its bustling September p erformance schedule d uring the month of Mexican Independence, as well as f or the May celebrations of Cinco de Mayo, d uring which the club hosts d ance p erformances, sharing the history of their a rt with curious crowds. The organization unabashedly flaunted a brilliant flurry of vibrant red, yellow, orange and white t wirling d resses at the Student Leadership Awards Night h osted by ÁSI last Wednesday evening, and again at the boisterous international f air on Thursday. By attending workshops at San Diego State University, and three-day conferences hosted by Ballet Folklórico companies, such as Panzantes Unidos, in the San Diego area, Mixtlán strives to achieve its goal, as articulated by Balcazar, to "learn about Mexico, through its music and folkloric dance performance, and to create social awareness that educates people about Mexico's history, a rt and culture." Garabatos Likewise b ringing the art of the Latino heritage to CSUSM, the student magazine, Garabatos, invites students f rom the Spanish department and beyond, to let their voices soar with poetry, short stories, essays, and academic work, all published in Spanish at each semester's end. A s President Maria Acuna explained, the organization's name, Garabatos, means " The Scribbles." She said, "We thought it was a good title for the magazine, because i t's what we do. It is the first writing, t he first thing that any person could have a dream to b e a writer, to be a poet. The first thing that we t hink is good comes f rom our heart, f rom our minds." Beginning in 1999, the magazine, an official student organization in 2004, has provided a unique avenue for experimenting authors within the writing classes of the Spanish department to contribute those o ffspring of their hearts and minds. "First they write in the classes, but some students have the passion to write - and who knows, maybe that student who never thought about it, maybe one day will b e a good writer. T hat's one of the visions that I have - giving everybody the opportunity to t ry to do something with their minds and their spirits - to put it in words, and see what happens," said Acuna. Like Mixtlan, Garabatos extends its a rms t o embrace the campus through events such as the annual Dia de los Muertos festival, f or which it has, f or the past two years, hosted a creative writing table f or "anybody who wants to come over and w rite Calavaritas - p oems, not serious p oems - very f unny, that you can make u p about your boss or f riend - some people w rite about their professors - it's f unny," said Acuna. Also like their spirited dancing compatriots, the students of Garabatos were featured at the international f air on Wednesday, boldly reciting verses of their writings before a mesmerized audience of fair-goers. Desiring involvement f rom t he community, Acuna sees Garabatos as something comparable to The Pride, established on the university, but not confined to campus. "Everybody can come and participate - even if you don't speak Spanish, even if you're not f rom Cal State San Marcos. We don't want to box ourselves in - we want to b e open to new ideas," she said. Expressing her wish for the f uture of Garabatos, Acuna spoke of workshops the club attends with a similar Spanish student magazine at San Diego State University, saying, "To have more quality on the manuscripts, its ideal to have some professional writers to teach us." Publishing Garabatos' newest issue in May, Acuna, a graduate student of the Spanish master's program, shared her commitment to the magazine despite her g raduation this May, saying, "Next semester I plan to give more time to Garabatos, because this is something that is my passion." Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild A s the muses smile upon the enraptured words of Garabatos, so do they grace with courage the very essence of the writers o f Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild, another creative literary f orum here on campus. Co-chaired by the organization's e-zine publication editors Zachary Pugh, Sherre Myers, and J T Vernon of the literature and writing studies department, Artistic Rights is "A writing guild dedicated to creativity, originality, and works of writing, visual arts, multimedia, music, and what not," said Pugh, a graduate student in the d epartment's master's program. The organization seeks talented contributions f rom its 26 members as well as f rom others in the department, albeit with l ofty publication standards. " We're pretty critical. We like s tuff that has edge to it, we like s tuff that looks like it's had critical readership, that it's not a first d r a f t - a polished work, s tuff that maybe is k ind on the roadblock to f urther publication at another time," said Myers, also a master's student in the department. Publishing a 16-page hard copy to ^various states outside California in 2002, P ugh j oined creative forces with Myers and Vernon f rom a class they shared, to initiate t heir guild. "We wanted t o have workshops on a r egular basis; w e wanted t o have people that were serious about w riting that we could interact with in a c ommunity f ormat. We want t o b e able t o actually have something that, when people read it, they say, 'oh, wow, these people on t his publication actually took some t ime t o w rite, they really a re serious about what t hey're d oing,'" said Myers. "We've k ind of w anted t o t ap the creativity on c ampus here a little more," said P ugh. T he heralding call has b een heeded, indeed. Nearly 50 submissions have b een received b y the editors, to b e pared down to merely 10 to b e published electronically. To p erfect their skills to these demanding standards, guild members regularly meet to workshop pieces they are c rafting, presenting their creations to peers for constructive criticism. Coalescing diligent dedication and unbridled passion, these aspiring writers are lent the ears of fellow dreamers, dripping f rom their tongues the words of their most beloved works, in the thrilling yet challenging atmosphere of dynamic, live reading. "People actually came and read their work at an open f orum, and then we sat down and discussed it," said Vernon. The first issue of A rtistic R ights' publication " will c ome out, f ull force, b efore t he semester is over," said P ugh.
