XIV NO. 5 Health, wellness and safety Biotechnology blends science with business management The 8th annual Health Fair to be held on campus BY ALEX LOPEZ Pride Staff Writer BY LIZZ OSBORNE Pride Staff Writer This past summer, a new Biotechnology major was approved by the Chancellor's office for Cal State San Marcos. Dr. Albert Kern, director of biotechnology programs here at CSUSM, was able to get this program started with an internship with 11 companies. The major is needed because the market research and the leaders of the Biotech industry need well prepared graduates in lab and business. The Biotech program not only includes the internship, but also guest lecturers and mentors from the Biotech industry. Kern stated that he does not know how many students will actually Local vendors have a chance to liven things up in front of the library at the Cal State San Marcos Human Resources and Equal Opportunity Department's 8th Annual Health, Wellness and Safety Fair, on Thursday Sept. 29 froi$ 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The health fairs will have a plentiful assortment of freebies and handouts.

Keith Kellogg II, Cal State San Marcos benefactor, passed away Friday, Sept. 16, 2005, in his home in Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. Kellogg, 98, passed away from heart failure, according to an article in the San Diego Union Tribune printed Thursday, Sept 22,2005. According to the article, Kellogg, the grandson of thé cereal mogul W.K. Kellogg, "was born June 6, 1907, in Battle Creek, Mich. He was the owner and founder of General Wax Paper.

Unfortunately for outsiders, this is not an event that will be open to the general public. Past events have been highly successful. Last year over 1000 people came through the quad to learn more about how to improve, maintain, and enjoy healthy lifestyles. "This program began as a way for employees to learn information about their benefits plans. Eventually students wanted to be involved in the event and have things that could benefit them as well as the staff and faculty of Cal State San Marcos," according to Event Volunteer Coordinator Phillip Lovas.

"Hopefully more students will find out more about it by next semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The courses required for this major range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and Managerial Accounting. Kern was interested in starting up this new major here at Cal State San Marcos because of his personal experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry for a little over 25 years before he came to CSUSM. Working for a large multinational and start up company, Kern was also able to hire and manage many people. All he wants now is to share what he has learned. "There is a lot more to biotechnology than just working in a laboratory," said Kern when asked what are the possible TEACHERS, TUTORS NEEDED Club 72 is currently seeking tutors in Temecula/Murrieta/Escondiclo/Ramona/ Poway/Rancho Bernardo/ San Marcos/ ( ^sbad/Enckitas & O ceansuk • Watilile fours and great pay • One~on~one tutoring • A ll subjects and grade levels careers one might get from getting this degree. There are many jobs beyond the lab that involve science and require the understanding of it.

If someone earns his X)t her degree in the biotech field, they wouldn't have to travel very fartofinda great career. "Science is a creation of new knowledge, and technology is the application of it," said Kern. He hopes many more students who are interested in science will be able to take advantage of this new major. Kern is extending an invitation' to the campus to anyone interested in gaining more knowledge about the biotech field.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they dashed about to get the new episode filmed on schedule. Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option. Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant director on site, our campus had a "good look for the director." George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to speak with the Pride about his experience filming amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've (administration) been very helpful on everything we've needed." Even though our campus is both the youngest and smallest public university in San Diego County, he also stated that his approaches "pretty much a basic for everything, from houses tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^ that facilitates all of our needs." As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed unconcerned regarding any potential interference. Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot and hope nobody interferes', he láughed, "Well.. .1. Yes." " "Veronica Mars" is Currently in its second season with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday evenings on UPN. Catch Eye BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer , I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as students to examine media from a "critical" perspective. Sitting in the enormous lecture hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate caught my eye. Ann Helsig sits in the very front of my class and on at least every other opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture. Her intriguing ideas often compliment my own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann, and the first "Catch Eye'. Through the conversation I learned that she is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been inspired by her visits to Morocco and South America. During the course of our 15 minute conversation she finished off two cigarettes of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling me that her life is committed to "affecting real change," at which I smiled gratefully. I'm now so glad that I took the time to get beneath the surface of my insightful and mystifying classmate.

Jake Peavy for example who helped organize an event on September 10 at Petco Park. The Padres were playing a day game in Los Angeles against the Dodgers, so Peavy and the Padres held a fundraiser at Petco Park where people could come watch the game while participating in the relief effort. My buddy Matt suggested I write about how sports can act as an outlet of relief for the people in New Orleans. Louisiana State University was forced to move their home football game against Arizona State University from Baton Rouge to Tempe, AZ. While the game was going on in Tempe, thousands of students went to the Baton Rouge stadium to watch the game on a big screen just to take their minds off the tragedy. LSU quarterback JaMarcus Russell is one person that looks forward to game time on Saturday. He has allowed roughly 20people, including R&B legend Fats Domino, to stay in his apartment, because all of them have lost their homes. For the few hours that he is on the football field he has the chance to have a normal life again. Sometimes people lose sight that athletes are people too, because they are constantly under a microscope. However, seeing the way many athletes have responded t o help the relief efforts makes you realize that these people do have a heart. Don't forget, just because you might not have the means that some of the athletes have, doesn't mean you can't help the relief effort. Any praise, criticism, or article suggestions can be sent to Sando026@csusm.edu. Jock talk with Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Special to The Pride I will be honest; I had some trouble coming up with a column topic for this week. I wanted to write something on Hurricane Katrina in regards to the sports world. So, I bounced around some ideas in my head, but in the end I always came back to my opinion that sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf Coast. In an attempt tofindsomething else to write about I asked different people for column ideas. After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered and every single one of them suggested something in regards to Hurricane Katrina. My Uncle Rene told me to write about the different sports teams that are being displaced and how they have to play entire seasons on the road. The New Orleans Saints have moved their headquarters to San Antonio to try and regain some normalcy to their lives. Their entire season won't be played in front of a home crowd because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before kickoff. The New Orleans Hornets will also be playing an entire season on the road when the NBA season starts up. They will be calling Oklahoma City home for 35-of-41 games, with the other 6-games being played Free 3 Months ; No Set-up Fee t No Obligation MAILBOX Wrth Current CSUSM { RENTAL y Student/Facuity/Staff ID i Regular Price $ J0/Month Thereafter in Baton Rouge. The athletics at Tulane University are taking a big hit as well. The university is canceling the cross country season this fall while members of the football, basketball, and other teams are enrolling at universities like Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and Rice. My friend Chantal told me to write about all the different athletes helping to raise money. For example, the telethon that took place on Monday, September 19 during the Monday Night Football double header. The telethon included many former and current NFL superstars such as Donovan McNabb, John Elway, and Howie Long answering telephones. Local athletes who were born in the Gulf Coast have been heavily involved in the relief process.

Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the obvious answer. Wrong!!! People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean, healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel better when I attempted to quit, end of story. Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and others like me would be forced to change. Wrong again!!! If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way, but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus? Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug? Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows, your habit or shortcoming could be next. ! ¡21111 < " ; 'i < " • i g f e i V Sä ' 4 ft life 1 ' i """ -1 <• ®iai«BiiiiiiiiSii SMOKE BY MELISSA BAIRD Pride Staff Writer Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that people are more apt to kill themselves than each other. If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder. I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens. There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts. The smoker. There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent. In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and should be reserved for those with genuine special needs. I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say, however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves with such things. It seems pretty masochistic. If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging? At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention. If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't very romantic. �•bnmhnshì • • • • • • - l i l i ^¡ ¡ ^ p M M P i ^ I M M ^ M I S H B M l H -I M i ^^B • • • ^• • • I JM É t B | ^ ^ • |i ^ W Äl-^teS^^i^ B y p w ^ ^ W SH^fôffiSSS^fo*1 ¿M—t M* 'îJÊÎÏÈÊtlMI.liÊ.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Time is valuable, in-valuable for never being so infinite as we pretend to promise. This goes doubly for time alone, no matter what you do with it, or what it does to you. In between a little of both I've been fortunate enough t o have had friends, even f amily, that I could confide in. Yet, the type of relationship, the type of bond, the one whose absence tempts loneliness no matter how many surround you, no matter how complete your retreats, this has eluded me for the majority of my young adult life. Whether or not unusual, it certainly isn't unfair. I've never had proportions worth a second glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the gauntlet from intimidating back to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous) libido with an inflated tongue in a spiteful head and it seems silly that I bothered blaming too much time between chances, citing atrophy as I boiled away in my own juices, bitter and dry. There's no sympathy to be earned in this, only small wonder that I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations, yet still had enough ego left over for a sense of wasted capacity. I had all this going for me when, over the summer, I fell in love. it's usually an excuse to buy shit. I've seen no relationship, save my parents', stand the test of time, and I have no reason to believe any type of forever is ever guaranteed. 'She and I ' fell in love. And what would I have done had I not retained those punctuating moments of optimism and life-praising vulnerability? And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a thing? I'd say 'be careful what you wish for', but I don't believe in wish-granters, or external-fate for that matter. I don't buy into some magical force swooping down to turn dull, fickle livestock into living embodiments of devotion and goodness. I don't buy love as d oesn't make a damn bit of d ifference on how d eep • in it. we are.

Last week, I dropped my entire evening, drove the twenty miles, and raced through the grocer for soup and Popsicles (The good ones! Only 'Buyer's' for my baby!) at her mere suggestion of illness. She makes a servant and a real man of me whether she knows it or not and it scares me alive. I'm in love whether I deserve it or not, so I might as well like it. Sharing it, though, is another matter. How beautiful? How sweetly and intensely matched? That's something for me to know and you to dream about. By 'share' I mean how difficult it is to keep up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now' sums it up nicely. Forget the formulas and forget the idea that bitterness makes you any more attractive (or protected) than living in a hole. Frankly, you shouldn't even be fishing for this kind of thing. Better to prepare for it like a nuclear strike. I still don't know what we'll do with each other, we know this kind of connection is too rare to let inflate into infatuation, but finding time to have sole reign over my presence; it isn't easy when her absence confronts me before I can even get the car door open. Worrying about the have-have not of it aside, there are still some who would abstain, thinking it easier or more spiritually pure. They're the ones that deserve pity, not me, not you, no matter how lonely or loathsome we become. When it comes down to it, I'd spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than that found in the arms of human love'. I don't deserve it, so there's no reason you can't have it.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer / v If you hesitated to fling yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances are high that you, like myself, suspected a capitulation to the Celluloid Barons f or more mall merchandise. Perhaps you were so impressed by "The Nightmare Before Christmas", whether you saw it as a result of its sleeper success, or were lucky enough to catch it at the theater...over a decade ago (now who's feeling closer to the grave) that you now fear a gigantic let-down. Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown. Not a gigantic one, any way. Fans of stop-motion should certainly make time for the big screen experience. As digital animation rapidly becomes more life-like, and more cost-efficient, those of us who grew up with "Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse Bride" can boast, above all, some of the most expressive characters I've ever seen, including those counted among 'live' actors. Even when the proportions aren't believable, the 'puppets' in this feature are always life-like, My highest hope was to count another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who avoid musicals, but alas, the music is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse Bride" come from the opening and back-story numbers, both of which are passable on tlieir own, but simply sad when compared to "The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still haunts me. There are impressive piano-playing moments, but the few remaining songs are merely dialog rhymed into passé melody by tone-deaf characters best left as walk-ons. The overall plot remains a few steps ahead of predictable, no farther than the genuinely clever laughs stay ahead of the corny gags. Considering how long it takes to animate a single movement, and considering how the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch the narration, it seems wrong to merely call it 'too short'. Still, for all its dealings with 'love', the angles of the story's trian- Photo courtesy o f Warner Bros. gle didn't have much time to get under each others'skin. For those deprived souls who have yet to see either "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh " quite cut it as a progression.

So instead of wearing the pool of blue ink like a new medal of honor through the halls, we usually bear the heat and pull on a sweater, find a sticker or even run home to change.

Well, don't fear solutions are near. One big tip is to never let a coffee stain set in. Once it dries the harder it becomes to remove, so act f ast Either of these solutions will work: Pre-treat the stain with any commercial stain remover for one minute before washing.

The Dome is no Pizza Hut or Domino's but there is a common problem thè GREASE, even worse getting it on your clothes. Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try these thrifty ideas. Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let sit, and then wash in warm water.

Here she plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion * engineer who has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter from Berlin to New York. Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing child. When no one reports the child being seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every cabin, bin and the access point beneath and above the plane. When Julia isn't found, everybody begins to believe that Kyle is delusional. Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no record of her checking in and the morgue reports says she was killed along with her father/With hef options running out, she acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of the plane to conduct her own search. Don't worry there's a twist, which of course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you though, that it starts with an intriguing premise on the psychological genre but ends up somewhere over the rainbow. Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room," is always able to hold back her emotions just an inch. If she wanted to, she could follow through. She has mastered • the facial expressions. For example, she could be smiling but you still see fear or doubt in her eyes. Bean's and Sarsgaard's talents seem wasted in their small roles; I would have liked to see their characters play a bigger part in the movie. Regardless, of the plot or twist, "Flightplan" is saved by its strong performances. Kanye West's 'Late Registration' BY CARISSA GOAD Pride Staff Writer The latest member of the music world that almost everyone has something to say about, regarding the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation. Kanye West dropped his second album last week, premiering at number one, with 860,000 albums sold. "Late Registration," takes on a whole new sound then what is being played over today's radio waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead of music that was driven by sound beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and soul. Among my favorite songs on the new album include "Roses and Diamonds," which give the album a softer more feminine vibe. Others with a more feel good and get up to shake your booty j ams like, "Gold Digger" and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also attacks political issues and ideas in such songs as "Crack Music" and "Addiction." He came up with controversial ideas but he had to rely on others to help covey and portray this notorious lyrical content. He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common, The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine, "Kanye West steps up his lyrical game, shows off his epic production skills, reaches higher, pushes harder and claims the whole world of music as hip-hop turf." I listen to this entire album and agreed that Kanye is not j ust trying to be another hip artist, but rather revolutionize hip hop in another direction. Producer Jon Brion really gave Kanye what he needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."
