A total of 565 students voted in last week's referendum, the ELC passed received 82 percent of the vote on Thursday, October 21. The referendum ensures that the ELC will get student funding to remain in business. In the past, ASI has provided the means to keep the facility operating, but budget cuts for ASI resulted in the necessity of student contributions to keep the facility open. Students who voted online from October 18-21 decided that an additional $10 should be added to enrollment fees tofinancethe ELC. According to Roy Lee, ASI VP of Communications, the annual budget for the ELC is about $300,000. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the collection from students will total ^bout $144,000, and the fees for the parents of the children attending the ELC will pay the remaining $156,000 of thè budget. "Essentially, the ELC will be running itself," See ELC, page 2 Campus debates ballot propositions BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer More than 100 students gathered in the Clarke Field house on Thursday, October 21 to watch and engage in a debate addressing four of the ballot propositions up for consideration on November 2. The four propositions discussed were state Propositions 66, 70,71, and local Proposition B. There were eight panelists, one for both sides of each issue. Panelists consisted of CSUSM students, professors, and members of the community. President Haynes, ASI, and the Academic Senate sponsored the event. Students enjoyed the free food that was provided during the debate, but many began to leave for classes as the event continued. By the end of the event there were only about 20 people who remained in attendance. The first debate was over state Proposition 66. Proposition 66 would amend the California Three Strikes Initiative that was passed by voters in 1994. Professor Valerie Callahan argued in favor of the proposition. Callahan urged voters to approve the changes to the Three Strikes Statute contained in Prop. 66.

Approximately 170 people gathered in Academic Hall room 102 on Wednesday, October 20 to celebrate the construction of the business building set to open in the spring 2006. "This is an exciting event. A milestone has been reached and it's time to celebrate," said Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes. After listening to speeches by University President Karen Haynes, Dean of the College of Business, Dennis Guseman, and others who made the building possible, attendees had the opportunity to sign a steel beam that will be placed in the building. At the event it was announced that a yet-to-be-named donor came forward with 5 million dollars to name the building, which is the largest gift received by CSUSM for a single project. The name of the building is set to be announced this week. Photos by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Above: Event participants s ign the ceremonial beam. Below: The staff of C oBA s igns the beam.

It ELC, from page 1 said Lee. The ELC is not only a childcare center and a place for children to begin learning basic lessons at an early age, it is also a place that employs students and provides internship opportunities. "We are an essential service for students, students utilize the center that are not student parents," said Mosetta RodriguesCoppedge, site supervisor of the ELC. "The majority of the children here are children of CSUSM students." Hilary Gross-Richmond, a senior at CSUSM, is fulfilling her internship requirement at the ELC by helping the preschool class three days a week. GrossRichmond feels that the passing of the referendum is "a wonderful thing." "It's the reward of knowing that once you have taught them something or read them a story, they appreciate it and come back for more. It's the reward of their smile," said Gross-Richmond describing her favorite part about working with the children at the ELC. Currently, the state of California does not require that children attend preschool before enrolling in Kindergarten, but many Kindergarten programs expect children to have a basic understanding of letters and numbers before ' "V , ^ ' J -'I The Pride is published weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year, Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establish meats.

J ack! 8 58-565-2144 �NEWS THE PRIDE DEBATE, from page 1 campus BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer Last week Students took little notice of For Him Magazine's visit to campus as rain filled the sky. For Him Magazine (FHM) set up a booth in front of the Kellogg Library with video games and promotional giveaways on Tuesday, October 19. At 8:00 p.m. in Arts 240, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and FHM sponsored the appearance of comedian Christian Finnegan. Finaegan cracked up the small audience that attended the show. The comic captured the audience's attention by almost "tea bagging" them. Next he moved on to relationship philosophy. "Relationships are like yard sales, they look really f un from 100 feet away, but when you get close you realize it's a bunch of shit you don't need," joked Finnegan Finnegan cracked jokes for the rest of the hour long show on everything from his "fat-tax" to the Olympics to the upcoming election. The audience seemed to enjoy Finnegan's wit and slightly twisted sense of humor. "It was tight! More people should have come, they missed out," said student Angela Jenkins Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Christian Finnegan performs. People at the event speculated as to why only 24 people showed up for the comedy performance. Most explanations for lack of attendance focused around the weather. "It sucks it was on a Tuesday, let alone a rainy Tuesday," said Eric Groset, director of social programming for ASI. Angela Jenkins thought the small audience was partially due to the lack of publicity for this event. "I just heard about it today, I picked up aflyerbut it didn't have a date on it," said Jenkins. When all was said and done those that attended the show left with a smile on their faces and sore sides. Christian Finnegan left San Marcos with sore legs and a smile as well. "There's lots of stairs. That's brutal, it's brutal here, but it's been great. I hope I can come back at a later date when it's sunny," said Finnegan. Christian Finnegan can be seen every Friday at 11:00 p.m. on VHl's new series Best Week Ever as well as in his occasional appearances on the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. lent," said Callahan about the proposition. She stated that Proposition 66 would narrow the definition of serious or violent crimes to exclude petty crimes such as burglary or attempted burglary. Callahan said because of the three strikes law California has the "highest prisoner population in the nation." CSUSM student Stephen Keller, argued against Proposition 66. "It punishes people with no respect for the law," said Keller about current three strikes law. Keller said that the current law doesn't need to be changed and is "riot targeting petty crimes." The second debate addressed state Proposition 70. Proposition 70 would enact a tax of 8.84 percent on the net revenue of gaming. Community member David Lent argued in favor of the proposition. "It's time the tribes stepped up to the plate," said Lent. Lent urged voters to vote "yes" on Proposition 70 because, "it would bring two billion dollars to the table for all of California." Community member and Native American, David Whitehorse argued against Proposition 70. "It creates a 99-year monopoly," said Whitehorse about Proposition 70. He said that Proposition 70 "does not bring sovereignty or a fair share," for Make Your Voice Heard: Vote Need encouragement?

Proposition 71 would provide state funding for stem cell research. Dayleen Coleman, a human development major, argued in favor of the proposition. "Stem cell research is the best chance to cure many different diseases. The new cures could affect up to 100 million people," said Coleman. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi argued against Proposition 71. "Those who are going to vote for religious reasons are going to vote against Proposition 71," said Bonomi. Asking voters not to approve the measure because of its' cost to taxpayers. Bonomi said, "Prop 71 costs three billion dollars, plus three billion dollars in interest." The last debate was over local Proposition B. Proposition B would reverse a previous proposition that approved the Gregory Canyon Landfill. CSUSM student, Didi Lund, argued in favor of the proposition. "The garbage dump is not needed," said Lund. Stressing environmental protection as a reason the Proposition should pass. Lund said, "The garbage dump threatens the San Luis Rey river. It could be polluted." Political consultant Jennifer Tierney argued against Proposition B. "Landfills are needed," said Tierney asking voters to deny the proposition. Tierney said, "Voting 'No' does not necessarily mean that it will be built. It insures that it will go through the process." CLASSIFIEDS E GG D ONORS N EEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"There's a saying, 'Savoir Vivre' often used in the United States," Anover said. "It is the art of knowing how to enjoy life, to eat a good meal, to enjoy a vacation. One should enjoy life more than so than simply working." Yet, living in the United States has made it a little more difficult trying to balance both American and European lifestyles. Anover, who was born in France, has spent many years traveling between both France and Spain attending school as well as visiting family. "I am as much French as I am Spanish," Anover said. If her family was in France, summer vacations were spent in Spain, and vice versa. Life was a bit more collective where the government provided state funded health benefits as well as six-weeks of paid vacation for teachers. Yet, her love for languages drew her to the United States 14 years ago as she participated in a non-native speaker of Mekenye - Associate Professor of History Department Country: Kenya English program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If anything however, she misses her personal time. "Workaholic is an American word," Anover said. According to Anover, the lifestyle in which Americans live in does not allow for vacation time. "It's not that we [Americans] don't want to have a vacation, but it's just that the way society is, the priorities are different." As the French Club's advisor, as well as Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor for French, Anover shares these words of advice to those who share a bicultural experience: Try your best to integrate into the society that you're embracing without losing yourself, your roots. "Life here can be very brutal, a high stress society as compared to a more relaxed way of life in Kenya," said Reuben Mekenye, history professor. Having been born and raised in Kenya, Mekenye spent many years on the countryside tending to livestock and cultivating corn, coffee, tea leaves, etc until he moved to the city to attend college. As a diligent college student, Mekenye was expelled for his activities as a student leader tackling various issues such as national issues to issuing statements on behalf of the student community during Kenya's political turmoil. By that time, he had processed his papers in Lesotho and was admitted to both Canada and the United States after a year. In 1988, he arrived in San Diego as a refugee through the sponsorship of a Catholic church. In a state of culture shock, Mekenye had difficulty interacting with people and finding his way around. Cultural Curners Diverse professors from different ends of _____ the spectrum "You shake hands in Africa," Mekenye said, as he noted that in the United States greetings are very short and informal. It is customary to have a conversation rather than a simple hello. After a short six month stay, he was awarded a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, which required much adjustment considering the frigid climate. He longed for the Southern California climate and was later accepted to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he happily returned to a warmer climate. He grew very fond of the education system as it was more democratic, unlike the authoritarian practices of Kenya. "Tests were public exams given by strangers. We all took it at once," Mekenye said. After many years, Reuben Mekenye still retains what he considers conservative practices of Kenya such as having respect for the elders. "Listen first, do more listening then talking," Mekenye said. "It is expected that the elders are to command more knowledge." With his vast sense of knowledge, he shares, "Be open-minded. Don't forget where you come from. Your values, you need to treasure them to keep your background and those values will serve you well."

Being an All American golfer doesn't come easy, she practices with "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7,"saidFrench. her team five times a week, attends yoga twice a week, and weight trains once a week. "Playing everyday really makes an improvement," said French. "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7." French has been golfing for ten years. Her whole family plays golf, so it was easy for her to fall in love with the sport. She has dreams of playing in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) like her idol and former babysitter Leta Lindley, and will try for her pro-card when she's finished with college. "I wouldn't be doing it, if I didn't love it," French said. "I love golfing in college because as an individual you can succeed, but at the same time you help your team." French's commitment to golf has paid off. She placed in the top 15 and earned an All-American title at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament last year as a freshman. It is early in the season, but French said she expects "to improve every year" so golf fans can expect great things from her this year. As for the rest of the team, "They are a young team made up of mostly freshman and sophomores and although they are doing great this year, the team will strengthen and improve in the years to come," French said. Golf is a spring and fall sport, unlike other college sports which usually only play for one semester. The first tournament of the fall season was the Grand Canyon Tournament at the end of September. The team placed fourth out of forty-five teams and individually French and her teammate Kyle Safford placed in the top five. Golf is one of three intercollegiate sports supported by CSUSM. It is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) 'which is like the NCAA for smaller schools. The golf team has averaged about three tournaments a semester; the last tournament of the fall will take place November 7-9 at Cal Poly SLO.

On top of trying to finish assignments, doing last minute revisions, andfindingparking, deciding on a major is just as stressful. Cal State San Marcos was once limited on the number of majors offered, but as a growing university, more and more majors are finding their way to our campus. This semester a new major is in the process of becoming official; physical education and kinesiology, the study of the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body movement especially in humans. The physical education and kinesiology major is intended to prepare students interested in the single subject teaching credential in physical education. The major is targeted to those who are also interested in pursuing careers in advanced degrees in physical education, kinesiology, exercise science, sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Those who are involved and currently taking classes are interested in starting a new club on campus to help build a foun- dation for the major. Andre Tungcab, a current kinesiology student is excited to be in a new major that is fresh and able to grow. "It's a different class where you're able to see how the body works," he said. This semester, there are three official classes that are being offered, Kine 208, a hands-on lab class designed to practice movement in the field house, Kine 300, which studies the biomechanics of human movement, and Kine 301, which studies motor control. "Being in the major as it develops, there are certain advantages and disadvantages," said Tungcab. "An advantage to the program is that the field house has just opened, and kinesiology is a major that is open and able to branch off into a lot of differentfields.The disadvantage is that it's a new program and it's not well known." This semester, there are currently two professors teaching the classes: Todd Astorino and Laura deGhetaldi. Head of the department is advisor Dr. Nichols. "The teachers who are running the program are really positive and encouraging," Tungcab said, "especially with being oneon-one to guiding us in the right direction." There has been a lot of positive feedback from students currently enrolled in these classes. For those interested in sports and activities, or for those who come from a background of sports and share an interest, classes are available and open to all students and staff here on campus. �THE PRIDE Jock Talk With Josh SPORTS Tuesday; October 262004 BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I think it's safe to say that the 86-year old curse of the Bambino is finally over for the Boston Red Sox, right? The spirit of the Bambino dealt the Sox a blow in the American League Championship Series by spotting the Yankees three games. Then in game four and five with Mariano Rivera on the mound for the Yankees; the so called best closer in playoff history ends up taking one to the groin on consecutive nights as the Red Sox came back and stole two wins. Then when the series moved back to New York for the final two games no one gave the Sox a shot since after all they were entering the most sacred of baseball stadiums in the frightening atmosphere of the Bronx. However, somehow they were able to put away the Yankees in game six as Curt Schilling's ankle was literally turning his white socks into "red sox" as he was bleeding throughout the whole game due to a loose tendon being stitched to his skin. The following night the Sox put the Yanks away and in doing so they made it to their first World Series since 1986 to face the St. Louis Cardinals who are making their first appearance since 1987. Then in game one of the World Series the Bambino tried to literally trip up the Sox again as Manny Ramirez looked like he was running on ice in leftfieldas he made two errors which lead to the Cards tying the game at nine. But the Bambino's attempt was about as SPECIAL ED TEACHERS & TEACHER'S AIDES ***WeVe Expanded*** Opening 30+ Positions Image courtesy of http://boston.redsox.mlb.com successful as a J-lo marriage when Mark Bellhorn hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Sox the win. The Bambino has been creative in his attempts to send tears throughout Boston for an 86th consecutive season, but he has not been successful yet and do we really want the Bambino to fail? Everyone says they want the Red Sox to win or that they think this is the season for the Sox since they have dodged all those previously mentioned bullets from the Bambino, but deep down I know that no one really thinks the Sox will win. I mean if the Sox win the World Series what will baseball fans have to look forward to next year? It's a tradition that the Sox are supposed to find a new way to implode so even though the Bambino hasn't been successful in his attempts to this point, you just wait because he will make an appearance in this World Series and he won't strike out. Drop me an E-mail at Sando026@csusm. edu to send your praise for when my Red Sox prediction comes through or if by some miracle the Sox win the series you can send your criticism.

You checked the boxes, filled in the blanks, and got it in the mail in time to count yourselves among the elite: students who are registered to vote! By now you're receiving an avalanche of junk mail — 'yes on this,' 'no on that,' 'vote for me' — and somewhere between those slick, four-color, multi-million dollar efforts to influence your vote are the decidedly unslick materials the Secretary of State sends that form the backbone of any informed voter's decision-making process: the Sample Ballot and the Official Voter Information Guide (and it's trusty assistant, the supplement) ~ approximately 260 pages of reading that makes "Hamlet" seem light and frothy in comparison. Don't despair dear voter-to-be, this is not a test; it's voting. Nobody but the most anal retentive, Mensan lawyer actually reads every page, and neither will you. In fact, it's perfectly okay to simply walk into your polling place next Tuesday, get your ballot, and vote only for President of the United States. Other than deciding who you're going to pick (and nothing in the Secretary of State's materials will help you on this one) it's hardly any work at ail. The only reading requirement will be to read the back of your Sample Ballot to see where you're polling place is, and then carefully reading the names under "President of the United States" so you don't pull a Floridian and bubble in the wrong one. Like it or not, the President is not the only thing you can vote for that will have an impact on your future: there's a senator on the ballot this year, an assortment of judges, college and hospital board members (depending on where you live), and we can't forget those wonderful proposi- Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride tions, which often have the potential to take money from you for years to come. My strategy for choosing how I'm going to vote is fairly simple. For the people part of the ballot, I vote for people I know and like (for example Bush, Boxer, and Cunningham in this election), and either women or Republicans in positions I don't know anything about (judges, boards, etc.). On the propositions, I mostly end up analyzing who has signed the arguments for and against, and that usually tells me enough about the proposition to make my choice. The people and groups who sign the proposition arguments all have agendas, so I just look for endorsements by groups whose agendas match mine (e.g. AAA because I like to drive, UCAN because I like to consume, Jarvis Taxpayers because I don't like to pay taxes, and League of Women Voters because they're really smart and analyze everything). I realize that I may be revealing myself to be less informed than my fictitious, anal retentive, T he P assion o f M el G ibson BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Mel Gibson: the man, the artist, the icon. Whatever you want to call him, he has ranked number one on the Forbes annual celebrity power list of 2004. His total earnings are an estimated $210 million, mainly from his controversial film "The Passion of the Christ." First and foremost, I consider Gibson one of the rare true film artists. He deserves to be number one. Not like Britney Spears that ranked number one in the 2002 that can't sing but only sell T&A. Gibson has the talent and the vision to make any film a critically memorable multi-million dollar success. When every mainstream studio and distributor declined to endorse and promote "The Passion of the Christ," he funded the estimated $25 million budget himself and found Newmarket Films to distribute the film on an independent level. He wasn't about to trash twelve years of his research. He obviously has generated a lot of profit for the big studios and it must have been disappointing for him to be shut out in the cold. This is Hollywood's tragic irony. They send you out as sheep amidst the wolves. Having seen the box office results, I'll bet the studio executives are kicking themselves if they haven't done so already. "The Passion of the Christ" grossed $370 million in the United States and a little over $600 million worldwide. It was released on February 25, 2004 and held the number one spot for the weekend gross for three consecutive weekends. It re-entered the number one weekend gross the weekend of Good Friday (April 9). This is a rarity in Hollywood. It is also estimated that the film will earn another $150 million from the DVD sales which will rank him high in the 2005 power list. Gibson has mastered every role he has taken. From the womanizer in "What Women Want," to the suicidal goofball in the "Lethal Weapon" series, to the vengeful thief in "Payback," to the slick gambler in "Maverick," to the faithless widower in "Signs," to the legendary Scottish hero in the brilliant "Braveheart." So it's safe to say he has excelled every genre of film. Not only that, he developed convincing chemistry with every one of his leading ladies and other costars. This opinion wouldn't be complete if I didn't at least briefly critique "The Passion of the Christ." Artistically, Gibson takes the unbiased direction. He's not making the film to serve or satisfy anyone. Is it historically accurate? No one can be the judge of that. Not any religious figure/group or historian. Many fail to realize that fact. With any film based on a true story or event, some facts are purposely excluded and/or changed for entertainment purposes, the reputation of parties' involved, privacy issues, etc. Given "The Passion of the Christ" as well as "Braveheart" as an example, the events were told through many generations and may or may not have been documented accurately. This is a film, not a documentary. So what's going to happen to Gibson now? Every studio will be drooling and fighting over his future projects. Gibson has expressed an interest in making afilmabout the Maccabees and the Jewish faith. He has earned his place in Hollywood history. He has earned his place as number one. In the film "Ransom," he said "Many people acquire their fortune. But not me, I built it, from the ground up and no one is taking it away." This holds true. Mensan lawyer - or any eighth-grader with a demanding civics teacher -- but I figure in doing so I may be helping to free you from the belief that voting is too much work; like college, it's as much work as you choose to put into it. Now nothing, knave voters, is more boring than sitting alone and reading through all this stuff by yourself, so get together with some friends, take an hour or two to go through the ballot, and figure out what choices make sense for you. Mark up your Sample Ballot and take it with you to the polls (you wouldn't leave the answer key at home if you could bring it to the test, would you?) If you make a mistake while voting, don't be embarrassed, just ask for another ballot. Whether you invest the time to figure out all the propositions, or you just want t o cast a vote for president, it's all good. Be as informed as you have time for, and vote! Slicing through the political rhetoric BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Vote! Vote, but don't bother to be informed. That's right, read this article and then forget about reading any more about the elections. Why? The informed voter is a myth. Politicians themselves don't even know the issues. How can we as voters possibly know the issues? Many key issues are either completely unsolvable, or are unsolvable by a normal citizen. Either people just don't know, or in order to know, you'd have to spend half your life researching it. Let's focus on some of the issues of the presidential race as an example. Is the President's plan in Iraq working? Kerry again attacks President Bush by saying in a debate, "I have laid out a different plan because the president's plan is not working." Kerry has senators on his side and Bush has Iraqi officials on his. Both are experts. Who are we supposed to believe if the experts disagree with each other? It's just one person's word against another. Are we supposed to go to Iraq to find out ourselves? Does Kerry have more credibility with other nations than Bush does? Kerry contends that we need a new president with fresh credibility. No foreign nation is going to tell us, . "ft ? P9*. the war, it's your leader" No French or Russian president is going to tell us, "Oh actually I really dislike Bush as a person, that's why we're not helping you." This issue is unsolvable. Even Bush and Kerry cannot know the answer to this question. How are we supposed to vote on it? Fact checking articles such as CNN's Fact Check are sometimes helpful, but usually it makes more of a mess than before. For example, Bush claims that Kerry has voted 98 times to raise taxes. CNN's Fact Check clarifies this by saying, "The number is somewhat inflated because it includes all votes on a given piece of legislation, including procedural votes and votes to end debate." So is 98 a lot or not? Is there any way to find out without having to look up all the different types of procedural votes and sort them out with Kerry's voting record? Just tell me if 98 is a lot or not! Those are just a few of the issues in the presidential election. Not to mention there's congressmen, senators, mayors, city council, many propositions and other issues to research. Usually it just becomes a case of "Who am I going to believe?" Don't be fooled by all that "informed voter" hype. It's just another tactic to get your vote. They want you to be informed about their side of the issue. The more you research an issue, the more you realize that nobody knows the answer. The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 26 2004 Byl^SmNOJOLS P ^ Ombudsman By the time you read this puppy, 111 have attended a wedding in Vegas (not mine!), and had oodles of inebriated fun playing 6, 8, and i O the hard way' at the craps table. In the spirit of matrimony and frivolous monetary spending (both somehow connected), I'm gonna take a Prozac-suppository spin on things and speak nothing but happy-la-las on the Pride. Enjoy. Oooh. Ahhh. Yeah. Moore. Qh yeah, Moore! Don't stop! I want Moore! Moore! Moore! I don't think our little paper can get enough of him. And the fact that Moore was repeatedly quoted as trouncing our school's admin, that's great! Let'is all raise hell and collect 50 Benjamins! Oh yeaht And Nick Bonomi! d p on with your bad self! If the College Republi- DEGREE cans were the "Royal Order of Water Buffalo**; he'd be Fred Flintstoae. I love that he gets in this paper more than most of our writers. Do our editors get checks in the mail from Mr. Bonomi? I don't know, but I love him all the same. And that massive front-page picture of Bonomi four papers back.. i have it above my hope chest Phoenix says it best in her article, "Republicans are just too damn attractive!" And the Protest article, how great was that* A protester is almost run over by a motorist?! What an action sequence! I assume the motorist wasn't a Republican. They're kinder, gentler drivers. And the quote just after the attempted murder-by-bumper that read, "I felt a little uncomfortable, if was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," Talk about grace under fire. Speaking of grace, have you noticed how sharp the Pride's been looking? J think the Pride's PCs going on the fritz was the best damn thing to occur, Jason Encabo has cleaned this puppy up so well, I can actually see the graphics, pictures, and make out the 'paws' that go with every film review. Plus the ads! Verizon has a full-page ad now! A full page dedicated to "Can you hear me now?" Mo' adds means mo' money! I won't see any of it, but that's cool, we still get a better paper. If we get enough of these ads, we might one day see this paper in Technicolor. Oh, the beauty that goes with pastel skin tones... .. .and pastel clothes. The fell fashion frenzy article was so frickin rad. All those styles from the 70s and 80s are coming back! Bitchin. I get to look like a member of the Brat Pack again. I hope they bring back the rolled up pant legs and socks with cotton balls! Man, I miss the days of the mullet. Business in the front, party in the back! Which reminds me, how sweet the smell of 4eau de toilette.' I would never have imagined that an article could be written about the pump and dump, but Polly flushed it out with *flying colors.' And how appropriate to place her article under mine. Toilet humor meets the toilet And to load up for the toilet, Chef Dawson feeds the UVA residents. First mold and fire alarms, now food?! I want to live there! Plus I'd be only a hop, skip, and jump from the free counseling at the Student Health Services. After this article, I'll be asked to take advantage of the service for And if I don't make it there, I can feel good that Michelle Robinson says mediocrity is okay Then YU get to eat a banana and pose for the Pride next to our lovely (even when frowning) Chrissy Baldwin. Don't let the fact that she's an editor make you think I'm just saying that to suck up. Hove bananas. And I love Josh. I've made two jabs at him in this grey box, and he came back with a left hook that had me floored. His article on Caminiti's unfortunate passing was one of the sincerest, best damn articles I've read! I asked that you "Make me love you Josh,' and well., .what are you doing Friday? Don't worry, I'm an easy and cheap date, and we can go see "Team America; World Police." Phoenix gave it 5 paws* And whatever Phoenix says, I do. Like I told her, she's the only Republican I love to listen to or read. Don't worry Bonomi, there'll always be a special place for you in my heart. This concludes my happyla-las.

I also want to comment on the "protestors" at Moore's event who, on their signs, encouraged me "not to pay for lies." When their tax dollars are being spent to massacre people and convert Saddam's torture chambers into our own, I don't stand in front of their TV's with posters which claim "Bill O'Reilly is ugly." I was horrified to see that photo of one protestor whose sign read, "Michael Moore is fat." Did he really take a night offfromshooting beer cans THE PRIDE to show up at this event? Oh, is he the forwardthinking political activist who will save me from my ignorance to show the link between George Bush's vision for a peaceful world and Moore's unhealthy BMI? Michael Moore may not use his treadmill, but at least he uses his brain, which is more than can be said for those who swallow everything they're fed from a government who lives in constant fear of the humanitarian enlightenment of its people. In closing, allow me to say: The kind of ignorance which drives people to "protest" my right to question authority when innocent people die is the same ignorance that got innocent people killed on September 11th. The point of education is not answering questions but questioning answers. THINK- it's patriotic.

Does Mr. Kerry realize that by raising the minimum wage you do not make living any more affordable for the lower class, but instead make it less affordable not only for them, but the lower portions of the middle class as well? Most middle class employees and small business owners will not earn more because their employers will not be inclined to give them a raise, but the cost of products that they produce and purchase will rise. The costs of products will rise proportionally to the �A &E THE PRIDE What if l7m pregna m ake i nformed, h ealth c onfident c hoices 760.744.11 2 77 S.

It's worth it, trust me. With that being said, let's discuss the music. It doesn't matter whether you like hip hop or not. If you are a fan of music then you should gravitate towards Talib Kweli's latest CD: The Beautiful Struggle. A few months ago the early version of this album ended up on the internet and street cor- ners alike so Kweli went back to the gym, trained harder* and came out with a sure fire first round knockout. On the opening track "Go Hard," Kweli does just that. Rhyming with the tenacity of a starving pit-bull, you can hear the hunger in his voice as he drops more knowledge in one verse than many of his peers will in an entire career: "people ask me how we wearing diamonds/when there's little kids in Sierra Leone CDReview ( losing arms for crying while they're mining". On this offering, Kweli takes listeners on a great journey of knowledge, pain, love, politics, religion, and fun. With assistance from producers, three of which are well known (The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze), Kweli does something that he has not done before; he simply makes music that has no limitations on it. It's not conscious or underground, it's just music.

I could give you hundreds of reasons why you should go buy this book, but really, all you need to do isfinda copy, flip through it for just a second, and you will be sold immediately. If you cannot find a copy to review and you just don't want to drive to the local bookstore for nothing, stop by The Pride Office at ACD302A sometime and take a look at ours! When you play this album you will be moved by it. Either your soul will move by the spiritual vibes of "Around My Way" or your arms might move when you tell someone to "Back Up Offa Me." On the albums most inspiring and greatest track "I Try", Kweli enlists Mary J. Blige to add the final punch to one of the best songs of the year. I won't spoil the content of the song for you, but trust me, if you don't hear this often come with great risk. Capricorn« (Dec 22Jan 19) Your beliefs will be brought i ntopl^tion soon.

Kweli also takes time to speak to the ladies in a positive and smooth manner (which is uncommon in hip hop these days) on the songs "We Know" features Faith Evans, "Black Girl Pain", and "Never Been In Love". The only problem spots for the BK MC are that the album only clocks in at 53 minutes. Some might feel this is too short but others may feel it's just right because of all the knowledge that is packed into the 13 songs. There are two album filler tracks that could have been replaced. The club themed "A game" and the "Planet Rock" influenced "We Got The Beat" should have been scrapped for collaborations with his Black Star partner Mos Def. Overall there is no struggle within this album. The second word in the title describes what the album is perfectly: beautiful. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
