Williams said he was improperly stopped, searched, and subsequently arrested by Cal State San Marcos Police due to his race. The arrest sparked open forums, protests and a formal university inquiry in the form of The Task force on Campus Policing. "I feel that justice was not served, but justice prevailed," said Williams of Judge Runston G. Maino's Sept. 15 decision to dismiss all charges. Judge Runston dismissed the case citing Penal Code 1538.5, which allows evidence obtained to be suppressed if, "the search or seizure without a warrant was unreaSee WILLIAMS, page 2 GreeK life opens doors Rush Week invites potential members BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer The Greek community will be opening its doors to potential members Sept. 19 through 26, as our one fraternity and two sorority chapters hold events on campus and around San Marcos to promote Rush Week. In addition, Tau Kappa Epsilon, a fraternity no longer recognized by CSUSM, is also inviting new members into their organization through participation in off-campus events. Each of the chapters' members have similar ways of emphasizing why they feel it important for students to become involved. "Potential new members can gain leadership skills along with character building experiences" commented Rachel Wann, See RUSH, page 3 Regatar to vote at CSUSM PAGE 2 Photo by Matthew Schramm / The Pride Ridge line behind CSUSM restricted for construction.

See CONSTRUCTION, page 3 Craven Hall to get face l ift Renovation to focus on office space and organization BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer With the completion of the Markstein Hall, formerly known as the Business Building, construction at CSUSM will shift elsewhere. A number of projects are scheduled to be underway as of early 2006, including additional parking spaces and the construction of a licensed day-care center for children up to age five. Yet the most anticipated project to begin with the New Year will be the renovation of the 1, 3, and 4floorsof Craven Hall. Plans for the renovation have been in the works for a number of years, with the money for it being allotted from Proposition 55, which provided finances for the renovation and improvement of schools statewide. Among the improvements being planned with the renovation is the creation of a "one-stop shop" in the old library where students can register, pay Sundance Channel comes to campus PAGE 4 See CRAVEN, page 3 Sign up today far intramural sports PAGE 7 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride "Lard Of War" movie review PAGE 12 �Pi^Bride £ Editorial staff g |¡ Editor-in-Chief MekELe^ Layout Design & Fbotò Editor I*$m Encabo Hews Editor ¡1 Features Editor ZacharyJ.

TURNER Pride Staff Writer Managing Bditor J IR$Q»EÉINÍ L /5 Voter registration BY TRACEY M. TURNER Pride Staff Writer Members of Lobby Corps, a committee of ASI, will conduct a voter registration drive on campus. Registration will be held at least two days a week leading up to the Nov. 8 elections. The goal is to increase student voting. Members of the committee have also planned two debates over the propositions and ordered voter information guides, for non-partisan educational materials from the Secretary of State. Committee members have set a tentative goal of registering 750 students to vote and will be out on campus every week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to reach the goal, which is "a match of last years total," said Joe Wager, Public Relations Director for Lobby Corps. Wager and two other committee members attended specialized voter registration training "to learn effective ways of reaching voters." According to ASI, Lobby Corps works on behalf of CSU students to "communicate student relevant legislation [...] and to aid in political forums, voter registration and publicity mechanisms on campus." Volunteers are welcome, as they hope to expand the voter registration program to more days per week. Call (760) 750-6001. Among recent turbulence in Supreme Court and discussion of the Equal Rights Amendment, ASI will present two on-campus events this week discussing the Constitution. The events are a part of a new CSU Constitution education program requirement and also to commemorate this past weekend's National Constitution Day (Sept. 17). According to Cheyenne Barr, CSUSM Director of Women's Issues for the ASI Programming Board and CoCoordinator of the ASI Women's Center, many parties colN laborated on this effort and "came together to discuss how we [as a school] could put on events to publicize the Constitution."

Williams said he harbors no ill feelings towards the officers involved in his stop and subséquent arrest. "I feel sad for them, I pray for them, and I forgive them," Williams said of the four officers adding, "I'll never forget what they did, but I forgive them." When asked if the police department was going to offer an official apology to Williams, Woodard said no. Woodard added he would like the campus community to know, "Were going to continue what we've always done, this case was an aberration that had little if anything to do with the conduct of officers in this department." Williams says he plans to, "focus on school, graduate, and sign with a record label." "Its time for people to start questioning," said Williams adding, "Racism is still alive in America." When asked about the implementation of recommendations for change within the police department Woodard said, "We're going to improve communications with the community we serve, and we have a lot of that in place already. You're going t o see more of us, not more in numbers, but see us more often, and we're going to start programs like the citizen academy, to have people come over and see what we do."

CA 92008 ; �CONSTRUCTION, from page 1 The influence of worried citizens concerned over the destruction of scenic landscape within the San Marcos helped enact the Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, limiting construction on ridgelines throughout the city. Twelve ridges have been identified as being scenically important for preservation, including those visible along Twin Oaks Valley Road and towering above Cal State San Marcos. Under the ordinance developers will be limited to certain types of architecture and design that blends in with the surrounding natural landscape, as well as being denied the right to build multistory structures. Building projects also have to be built significantly below visible ridgelines, with future projects barred from within 100 feet of guarded ridges. Among those projects under way to preserve the scenic views around San Marcos is a proposed recreational park, to be established not far from Cal State San Marcos. The proposed park would encompass Discovery Lake with nearby South Lake, linking the two currently undeveloped areas by way of a 100-acre park. With development set to begin in the next five years, the park would ultimately be comprised of literally miles and miles of trails flanked by natural coastal chaparral and picnic areas. Some of San Marcos' most scenic ridges will also be included in the project. Cal State San Marcos has yet to be contacted by those in charge of the Ridgeline Protection Ordi- CRAVEN, from page 1 for classes, and obtain information all in one location. Easier access through Craven Hall and an improved courtyard are all on the agenda for this renovation. "It's going to be kind of messy f or a while," said Bradly Fenton, the chief architect of the renovation, "but it should go quickly." Students may find many of the offices they were familiar with in Craven Hall elsewhere during spring and fall of 2006, but the RUSH, from page 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Perspective of business building construction from inside, nance, according to Decker, who notes that CSUSM "hasn't had to change any plans." Still, Pecker's organization has an interest in preserving the scenery around the campus. For example, the NCTD was denied permission by Cal State San Marcos to build a 30-foot tower on one of the peaks near campus since it would be an eyesore. Looking to the future, Decker says that at the moment there is an intention to put trails leading from the campus to the tops of nearby peaks. "It would be great if they were integrated," said Decker of the speculative future trails at Cai State San Marcos and the trail system being developed between Discovery Lake and South Lake. When finished, CSUSM will encompass over 300 acres of land with enrollments in the vicinity of 25,000 students. Such growth will continue to bring the campus into association with local projects in San Marcos. improvements are intended to outweigh such inconveniences. Although the main renovations will be focused on the offi<^ space and organization of Craven Hall, Fenton says that the interior in general will also be upgraded and will be comparable to the inside of the new Library. Plans for the renovation of began back in 1998 but it takes "at least 4 years [to obtain] funds," said Fenton. The Craven Hall project is set to begin in March 2006 and last through October of that year.

A new blue and white flag completes the high flying trinity in the lower circle, of Kellogg Library and Craven Hall. Rick Moore, director of communications, and Annie Courtney, a resource analyst for CSUSM, both took time out to talk with the Pride about this new addition to our campus. When asked how the decision was made to put the flag up this semester, Moore explained, "We had been asked repeatedly by student leaders why there was no flag... [We] always felt it would be good to have aflagbut there were blocks... funding, responsibility and maintenance. Spring last year we had the funds." Some of you may be wonder, why the cougar, our mascot, does no appear on the flag. As Moore explained, "There was only one design. The cougar is a 'spirit mark', not the University's symbol." The new flag consists only of the familiar campus and mountains icon and, as Annie Courtney commented, "Displays our [the university] identity beautifully." According to Courtney, six flags were ordered at the cost of $284 a piece (plus shipping), however, the company accidentally produced seven flags and allowed us to purchase the seventh at a discount of $150. The funds for the flags came from university funds and an ASI donation of $1,000. As it's currently planned, the university police will maintain the presence of the flags. Although theflagshave the potential to last up to six months in good weather, the idea is to replace it every semester, but there are no known plans to update the image. Fhoto by Jason Encabo / The Pride Council to unify organizations for support Cultural umbrella will provide opportunity for students to congregate BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer The Multicultural Student Leadership Council (MSLC) is a club on campus implemented in order to unify all other clubs on campus. The organization is inviting all other clubs on campus to form an umbrella of clubs and unite in order to promote culture understanding and address social, racial and gender-based related issues. The objective is to unify and enable What students to participate as well share differences. "In the past there has been a communication problem between clubs, there's almost been rivalry between clubs, we need an organization like MSLC in order to provide a great unity on campus." said Shawnda Dorantes the former president of Triota (academic society m women studies). She believes that it is important for all of the organizations on campus to have unity in order for the campus to reach its highest if I'm being the largest and most successful on campus.

The toughest games this season include road games in New England, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis. Home games that worry me see us face the Steelers and the greatly improved Chiefs. Even if they lose some of those games, it will only prepare the team for the playoffs because chances are they'll run into these teams when it comes down to elimination time. I don't think the Chargers will win the division due to their schedule, but I think they will finish second in the division behind the Chiefs, earning a wild card berth. The factor that prevented us from advancing further in the playoffs wasn't simply a Nate Kaeding field goal wide right, but a team unprepared for playoffs after a light schedule. If we can get through this more brutal gauntlet with about 10-wins, I can see the Chargers making a run at the Super Bowl. On that note, don't dismiss me as some delusional fan, because you might remember last season when I predicted the Chargers would lose in the first round because of inexperienced rookies.. .cough, cough, Nate Kaeding, cough. crmmmmapm season MSH I^Ä^tt^itt^oö ' £ Í W !

Roommates, friends, and students of all skill level are able to join together on teams of seven. All intramural teams are coed, including flag football which begins on September 23. At least one female must participate on each team. Touchdowns are even worth double if scored by a female. Even though the season starts next week, it is not too late to organize a team. There are various intramural sports to play, if flag football does not interest you. Ping-pong, sand volleyball, and dodgeball are up and coming sports that the CSUSM athletic department has in store for students. To sign up for an intramural sport you can either organize a team orflysolo as a free agent and be assigned a team.

I found myself very intrigued by most articles and the movie review; however, I found the letter to the editor written by Erika Callahan to be utterly disatisfying. Once again, we have people complaining abdut less important issues in this world. I mean, come on, the city of New Orleans is now a giant swimming pool and millions are dead but all you can think to complain about is how your veggie burgers are grilled? Get a CLUE! The majority of the school's population I can bet are NOT vegetarians and that is why they sell hamburgers and meat of all kinds. It's quick, simple, and CHEAP. We must not forget about the cost here. Maybe the Grill doesn't use the "left side of the grill" because it saves on gas and electric or because that would take longer to clean (meaning paying for more labor hours). Obviously the school can't have a selecton of organic food due to cost as well unless of course we want to add ANOTHER fee to our tuition so now the vegans can be happy! You say, for now you will be "brown-bagging it", well maybe you should just continue with that. Save your money, for more important things like the supply of non withered lettuce and organic tomatoes that you keep in YOUR refrigirator. If all you can find to complain about is the non vegan friendly food at our school, then I say CSUSM is doing pretty well for it self. Try worrying about more important issues like the millions displaced in New Orleans who would love to endulge in those nice fatty grilled hamburgers that are served in the Dome. Just think, you have SOME choices (as you pointed out) and true, I wouldn't want to eat the same thing over and over again everyday, but just think of the poor kids in New Orleans who haven't eaten for five days. No one is forcing you to eat at the Dome so stop complaining about the inevitable and get on with your life!

They meet nightly, sometimes hourly, coining senseless acronyms, circulating poorly written blogs, and otherwise gathering to commit acts of intellectual debauchery, all the while recruiting new members to join the fold. Their numbers can now be estimated in the millions, having sects in cities across the united states, and preying upon the innocent minds of our misguided youth. Led by a man who is known only as Tom, this group of miscreants has unleashed a new wave of virtual camaraderie, that encourages the humblest teen to take on the most base and self-indulgent online persona they can muster, wrapping the pages of their personal profiles around them like a cloak Joseph himself would envy. Fiction you say? No, it's Myspace. Rather than go through the formidable task of live social interaction, you too can maintain virtual relationships with virtual friends. A byproduct of the technological age, virtual friendmaking is a new development, which began with other activities traditionally reserved for reality, such as shopping, reading, dating, and card playing. A1 Gore must hug himself with glee. A self-described "Place for Friends," the website is a simple, albeit addicting online meeting place, where users create and maintain their own personal profiles, complete with photos, personal information, music, and more. Bands have pages too, as do clothing companies and night clubs. In addition to personal pages, users can create and join various groups of every description; become a virtual groupie of your favorite band, or maybe just a genre. There's "Sex in the City" groups, traveling groups, pet lovers groups, singles groups, married groups, or just the I-like-to have-sex-in-general groups. "Photography" can be found as easily as "Real Boys Kiss Boys", and "Brunettes kick ass", or just join the group "New Jersey". "I Like Spooning", is on the same page as "Love is suicide" which is a hop skip and a jump from, and I couldn't make this up if I tried folks, "T.B.D.C. The Butt Drag Club" (who, by the way, boasts 67 members). In yet another outlet for which to proclaim our individuality while adhering to a well defined structural norm, Myspace functions as a virtual platform for not-so-virtual validation. Users can "comment" on one another's posted photos, and not a few bulletins are submitted asking for "friends" to comment (read compliment) their newest and most captivating offering to the pic pool. Fewer still, are those photos documenting young women in compromising positions, wearing little outfits and coy glances. But Photoshop does not a model make, which leads me to yet another bizarre Myspace phenomena; the pseudo model. It would appear to the casual observer that 80% of woman on Myspace are busty size-nothings with perfect complexions, an imposing portfolio, and a host of male admires, all forcing their lips into that oh-so-sexy pout that reminds me not a little of a case of bad gas. What does it all mean you ask? Simply that "real" people are collectable as trading cards, never look bad, have tons of friends, and have cool names like Mattis, Forbidden, and Tia Tequila. In a world dominated by "reality" tv, where nonfiction has reached new heights of popularity, it would seem that we forgo perusing the fantasy isle, in favor of living in fantasy worlds. Where lies the line between what is real, and what is wrapped in pretty packaging and constructed so that we can once again pretend that the monsters do not live under our beds? Thank you. Erica Ruchman literarure and writing ruchm002@csusm.edu BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI Pride Staff Writer On the list of preparations for an upcoming semester, the prospect of setting aside even MORE money for parking is not a pleasant one. Now, let me just say this, I was all but thrilled to see a $90 increase for next semester's parking permit (that's $248 total), however, after talking to Robert Williams, coordinator of business operations & technology, I understood the fees were predetermined. "Parking Services is also self-supported, [and] any money made [from the parking permits] goes back to building more parking lots," according to Williams. "The most recent lot [we] finished [was] behind the Business Building." Talk of the parking on campus always brings up carpooling. The idea of carpooling or riding the bus is wonderful in theory, but unpracticed for the majority of students who have schedules as crazy as my own. They live in once place, work in a totally different place, and commute anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to get to school. Even if there are commuting students in the same area, their hours will be as different as the male and female mind. I find myself laughing with students who suggest renting driveways from homeowners near campus or a parking spot from the local churches at $75 or even $150. Some suggestions are rather witty, though, such as finding several students who have a similar school schedule and buying Palomar parking permits and then splitting the cost of a single carpool permit from CSUSM. The idea being the carpoolers park at Palomar and then cram into one car to get to San Marcos and then drive back to. Palomar after class so students can go home or to their jobs. File photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride I'm certain there will be some really intricate plans put in motion to avoid the extra fees. And yet, look at the situation; the extra hundred won't make anyone walk further to get to class, but parking in the dirt is still going to be a drag. Of course, I look forward to what the creative rebels will think of when parking passes $300. (Just imagine!) One experience of Katrina Former Pride editor gives f irst h and account BY MELANIE ADtflNGTON SINGH Special to The Pride After a weary two weeks in Gulf Coast, it was refreshing to see The Pride online news about CSUSM making a difference in the lives of so many down here. I graduated in December 2001 and remember having my CSUSM friends and faculty as support when we were reeling from 9/11, so I was glad to hear that everyone is still supporting each other and making a difference in other communities. I am a California native, but moved three years ago. Here in Mississippi and Louisiana there are so many people needing help yet too devastated to know how to ask for it. Although I have sustained only minor damage to my home and time, I hope that I can express to you how much pain there is here. It's not just something to watch on the news. These are people that may have lived in your neighborhood before moving here, and if not they are still your neighbors. Out of shock, I remained glued to the television for thefirstfew days. I waited to see familiar faces, alive or otherwise. Many in the country have given tremendously, but there are long term effects to be considered. Even after Geraldo and Fox News stops screaming into the camera about the "face of tragedy', there will be still be thousands of evacuees working to rebuild. Even at the northern tips we still have to boil our water as the whole grid went down. Even turning off the news, there's no escape from the stories. I work in the Department of Art at the University ofMississippi. I've spent what little free time I have working at the Katrina Resource Center as well as fostering a dog from New Orleans and helping coordinate a benefit art sale. I met a woman last week I'll never forget. She walked in, obviously shaken, trying to say she was from New Orleans, but just started shaking and crying. It was difficult even to get her supplies, she kept apologizing for having to ask for help and kept trying to explain to us that she is a working person, she had a job, but it was washed away. Finding what gas there was, she eventually made it to Oxford and a relative after a few days, normally this drive takes four to five hours. The stories that are the worst are from people who watched their loved ones wash away or floating their loved ones dead bodies down the street to get to a hospital to keep their corpse safe. I can't feel good about giving money or working at a shelter knowing how many others haven't even begun to make it somewhere that resembles a home and those who never will because help didn't come in time. At the end of the day, exhausted and broke, the little relief I can give still just leaves me hollow but I hope that if everyone does something, at some point it might be more than enough. So many are doing as much as they can and them some, but then there are others who say "others are giving" or "I don't have any time or money to spare" and it makes you wonder. I mean, there are people who have escaped, knowing they no home, who are willing to volunteer, but people can't be bothered to buy a case of water that could save the lives of people in their own state, in their own country? �Sundays at the BLVD BY SHELLY MONROE Pride Staff Writer "Champagne mimosas brunch served at The BLVD in San Marcos?" Exactly what I said when I stumbled across the club's ad for The Sunday Brunch Buffet. Though skeptical, I was very interested in trying it. I'm sure you have either heard about or experienced first hand The BLVD's nightlife, but unlike other nightspots they have much more to offer than just the typical bar scene. Lively or relaxed, The BLVD is the perfect place to mark a special occasion with family or friends. When I entered, I was greeted by an employee and told I could sit anywhere. I took notice of the interior - a casual and student-friendly sports bar. If you're a sports fan, The BLVD showcases 17 televisions with a variety of athletics going nonstop to keep you updated with current scores. The BLVD Sunday brunch offers eggs, bacon, sausage, fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, beans and cheese, spaghetti and of course cheesy potatoes. On the fresher side of things crab claws, shrimp, bagels, muffins, and fresh green salad were available. To top it all off, the omelets were amazing. Made to your personal liking, your choice of fillings include: mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos, cheese, onions, and pretty much anything else you can think of. Next to the omelet grill was the meat carving station - they offered prime rib and pork roast ready to slice and serve. The BLVD's Sunday brunch offers several different breakfast and lunch dishes, you'll be sure not to go home hungry. The service was outstanding and the entire staff was attentive to my needs with down to earth friendly attitudes. The nice thing about branching at The BLVD is it's not one of those upscale brunches at the Four Seasons that you have to dress up for. You can actually wear jeans and hang with yourfriendswatching sports while enjoying a delicious breakfast/lunch. The BLVD Sunday brunch costs $17.95 but students receive $5 off with a student I.D. You can't beat $12.95 for the endless food and champagne that is served along with great service. I encourage everyone to stumble out of bed after your crazy Saturday night of f un and try the BLVD's excellent champagne mimosa Sunday brunch. All American Rejects rock Westfield mall BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer On Saturday Sept. 17, in the parking lot of their Escondido mall branch, Nordstrom's hosted a live performance by The All American Rejects. The gathering crowd was filled with die hard fans encouraging the band to grace the stage with their dreadful new songs and some more acceptable old material. The show lacked the a dvan- tages of ProTools sound equipment, leaving the lead singer desperate to hold notes he couldn't have reached if he'd sold his soul. Otherwise, the band has a decent place in the pop heart. Despite seeming to conform to Corporate America by playing at a huge mall, they tried (and failed) to retain a punk image. With the terrible riffs of new songs like "Dirty little Secret", the band follows the trends, pandering to high school girls.

With a modest cast of 13 diversely talented members, the production may have been smallscale, but it demonstrated much heart and proves to have the ability to enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Department here at Cal State San Marcos. The musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" is a dark satire, based on a struggling urban flower shop that rises to the top with the fame of its resident, the exotic maneating plant. As the story grows, so does the plant, becoming more and more demanding of its appetite for human blood. "Little Shop of Horrors" is an odd but extraordinary story, "filled with many strange and unusual events " This Cal State San Marcos rendition is original its own unique ways. Much applause is given to lead actress/director, Noelle Marie Kerr for her powerful vocals and her skilled craftsmanship in stage makeup. In addition to the stage talent, the musical had its own four-piece house band. Yet another notable attribute about this cast was their improvisation ability, that was highly acclaimed by its audience. "It was wickedly funny and well performed. Even in the midst of technical difficulties when the character Audrey got her microphone caught on a prop, the cast quickly adapted to the scene modification," said, Cassie Johnson after the Sunday, September 11th performance. Pumped full of quick-witted humor, "Little Shop of Horrors" was full of sarcasm and mockery. Comedy kept the audience on its toes adding elements of improvisation and personal style. From the moment the lights dimmed, the audience was well aware that this production would be anything but normal; "...please keep all hands and arms inside the auditorium..." This absurd humor carried throughout the production until the final scene when a captive audience member soon became the next helping of plant-food. If you missed this musical, you clearly missed out on some great entertainment for less than the cost of lunch. The cast and crew of "Little Shop of Horrors" are all members of the CSUSM Take Stage Ensemble; a theatrical group of students, alumni, and local musical theater performers. Bravo to the "Little Shop of Horrors", a job well done. �Z A i OC E & J_y THE PRIDE Spice it u p w ith P epper BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer "Why don't you have some dirty hot sex with me?" To some of you this verse from the popular Pepper song "Give It Up" is all too familiar, but maybe a shock to others. Let me tell you, after attending Pepper's performance at the San Diego House of Blues on Friday evening, it is safe to say that the Pepper phenomenon is growing. I was first introduced to Pepper a few years ago while living in Hawaii. The boys that make up the band originated from Kona, Hawaii. I was curious to find out more about this band that was being echoed through every surf shop from downtown Waikiki to the North Shore. With a Sublime-like edge, and catchy lyrics, it wasn't long before Pepper made waves not only in Hawaii but all across the mainland as well. I've followed Pepper's tour throughout southern California over the past couple years. They've played at various venues such as Squid Joe's in Carlsbad and Canes' Bar and Grill in Mission Bay. They had previously been on tour with bands such as Slightly Stoopid and have even made appearances at the Vans Warped Tour and San Diego's Street Scene. Last night was a long show for Pepper. Instead playing one show that night for the traditional 21 and over crowd they normally perform for, they played two I shows in one night so that they could reach the underage crowd as well. The all ages show started at 6:30 p.m. and the 21 and over show began at 10:30 p.m. A reggae band from Australia called The Beautiful Girls opened up both shows of the night for Pepper. While I did witness some traditional blunt passing at last night's show and the typical drunk antics that go along with a 21 and up crowd, there was a whole new episode I had not previously witnessed at a Pepper show and that was the mosh pits. Possibly due to the fact that Pepper is now reaching a whole new type of fans or maybe the fact that their newest CD "In With the Old" featured a few songs with hard rock. The whole idea of moshing at a Pepper show caught me by surprise and it persisted for most of the event. I even witnessed a few people trying to crowd surf, but it didn't last long. All in all, Pepper put on a phenomenal show. I was even more impressed by thé fact that it was the second show of the night and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. They played for almost a solid two hours. The venuefinallyclosed down at about 1:30 a.m. Being their last show in Southern California for some time, I was stoked to be a part of it. Pepper is currently heading to Phoenix, AZ and then they are making their way to Australia with Unwritten Law.

L �Gage at mrar with himself ' Lord of W ar' movie review BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Lord of War" chronicles the life of Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a cocky international arms dealer with charm similar to Frank Sinatra. The movie begins when Orlov sold his first Uzi. His notorious reputation begins to rise with a constant chase by Interpol agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawk). "Lord of War" chronicles the life of this arms dealer, including the money he made, his wife (Bridget Moynahan) and his drug induced younger brother Vitaly Orlov (Jared Leto) and his eventual capture. Written and directed and by AndrewNiccol, the movie delivers an i ntriguing sense of satire. On occasion, you can't help but to laugh, grin or even be surprised by how the satire dictates itself. Yuri states he won't sell guns to Bin Laden because his checks always bounce. The trailer proudly displays a voice over by Cage stating "Say what you want about warlords and dictators, they always pay their bills on time." Or after his capture, Yuri still continues to do what he does best and by the way, loves. And to top it off, one of the closing captions state five of the permanent countries in the U.N. Security Council are also the biggest suppliers of guns throughout the world Unfortunately, Niccol doesn't seem to know how to develop his characters. Valentine, Fontaine, scenes and sequences as if they were commercials. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered if they were in the movie or Yuri's life at all. It's surprising to note this because Niccol's reputation as a writer ("The Truman Show," "The Terminal") is worthy but as a director is not as prominent as a writer. A movie such as this always brings up, directly or indirectly, the politics behind it. In this case, it is international gun control. V "Lord ofWar" shows two sides of Orlov's conflict. He desires to make a profit while knowing that his product kills innocent lives. With minimal character development, "Lord of War" displays this conflict in a satiric outlook. Nine Inch Neils broken' but., to return BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Special to The Pride What an unbelievable tease! Everyone who went to the Autolux/Queens of the Stone Age/Nine Inch Nails (NIN) show last Friday must have had such mixed feelings of awe and disappointment. The show was cancelled half-way through NIN's set and rescheduled for November 20. How do I feel about this? Well, the feeling is much like a premature ejaculation. I got a little bit of a taste with the 20 or so minutes that NIN played and when they had to stop, I was highly disappointed. But then again, there is always next time. First up was Autolux, a Los Angeles trio consisting of singer/ bassist Eugene Goreshter, guitarist/vocalist Greg Edwards and drummer/vocalist Carla Azar. Adding Autolux to the line-up instantly transformed the band from playing at clubs to arenas. You can be sure that when this tour is over we will continue to see much more from them, as touring with NIN has added a huge feather to their cap. Next was Queens of the Stone Age, an obvious crowd pleaser as they played many of their latest hits, including "Little Sister" and "In My Head." The group includes singer/guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Nick Oliveri and guitarist/keyboardist Dave Catching. I must note that Josh was quite hilarious with his welcome commentary throughout the show. He even picked on an audiencemember who flipped him off during his set by saying that earlier he was sucking...well, I'm sure you get the picture. Although Queens of the Stone Age put on a riveting performance opening for NIN the audience was getting antsy, wanting Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN to play as soon as possible. For all those who do not know, NIN currently consists of singer/ guitarist Michael Trent Reznor, drummer Jerome Dillon, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist James Wooley and bassist Danny Lohner. The crowd erupted as soon Image courtesy of Interscope Records as the slightest moving shadow behind the see-through screen remotely resembled the image of Reznor. When the band started playing they received an enthusiastic welcome. This was their third show in San Diego this summer alone. NIN's appeal is partially the emotion that they put into their songs, even a song as sexual and crass as "Closer," and partially the antics that went on, which displays their industrial roots. An amp was knocked over, a microphone stand was tossed away like a rag doll, and Reznor squirted the remnants of a water bottle into the audience as he held it near his crotch. The concert came to an unscheduled end when Dillon was escorted away in an ambulance after he complained of chest pains. What I wouldn't give to be a patient at that hospital. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
