XV NO. 2 University Book shortage at campus store Police report BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer Books for more than 22 professors did not arrive to the University bookstore before the end of the first week. Of the 'Alert' cards marking these particular empty spaces, some explained that these titles were not available due to late order, while others read that this was due to late instructor order. Whether or not there was an intended difference between these two labels remains to be seen. In trying to explain the issue, Professor Quinney speculated that "The bookstore gets hit really hard all at once with orders from faculty. Perhaps they do not yet have a sufficiently efficient system in order to handle BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer CSUSM Police are working to combat the limits on department expansion by working to increase campus involvement within their department. One such method is the inclusion of the officers formerly assigned to Parking Services while also internally training the campus Community Service Officers. Effective this semester, the Community Service Officer staff has increased to 12, which therefore allows two officers on duty at all times. "Because the parking officers are responsible for enforcing vehicle code laws and regulations, they now answer to University Police," said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard. Woodard also commented on the benefits of including these officers BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN stating, "By combining the offi- Pride Staff Writer cers in these departments with our own, campus patrol power is Cal State San Marcos' Green increased."

I wouldn't know about this end of it, obviously, but I do appreciate that even if the system is improving, there might very well remain a few kinks in the process that need ironing out." Consistently, professors said that they inform their students of f uture reading lists as soon as possible so that they can purchase books online. Professor Charles, however, expressed that he was "actually quite sympathetic to the plight of bookstores in this age of Amazon. I realize this isn't true of the sciences, but for history books that are not survey textbooks (and even for some books that are) the greater volume and the lack of "bricks and mortar" allows Amazon to undercut the bookstore price considerably, even on used books." When questioned on this matter via email, most of these professors remarked that they had no criticism of the bookstore staff.

The building will provide the necessities including a fully-equipped kitchen, bathrooms and a floor for students to sleep on. Trip cost is $200 per student and, according to the ASI Activities Coordinator, Sara Gallegos, fundraising opportunities will be available for students in the hopes of covering all expenses. Interested students need to apply by Tuesday, Jan. 31 and submit an initial deposit of $50. Applications are available in the ASI business office, the Student A ffairs office, or on the ASI webpage at www.csusm.edu/ASI. If students have problems making the down payment by Jan. 31, they can arrange -special payment options with Gallegos. The final balance of $150 will be due March 10. At this time, ASI can only offer the trip to CSUSM students, faculty and staff. Participants are not required to have prior skills, but should come willing to take part in the project enthusiastically. The participants are expected to contribute to the planning of the trip, which involves attending biweekly meetings and fundraising. Outside of working on homes, the coordinators of the trip want to plan other f un activities such as sightseeing in the local areas. The idea behind this trip is to break away f rom the hazardous traditions of spring break to create a safe, f un environment for students to do something constructive. This explains the big rules: no drugs, alcohol or gambling during the trip. Some benefits to choosing Alternative Spring Break over the traditional Spring Break include: meeting new people, learning new skills, immersing yourself in the reality of hardship, working with a highly regarded non-profit organization, building your resume, partaking in change, and creating a positive, lasting memory. "It is hard to put in words the feeling that you get when you take yourself out of your comfort zone and learn things about yourself, and what your abilities are," mentioned Gallegos. Students looking for something more meaningful to do with their time off should look no further than Alternative Spring Break where space is still limited.

Cal State San Marcos provides students, faculty and staff with many available options to contribute to a 'greener' campus and environment. Recycling bins can be found next to almost every exterior trash can and in the hallways of many high-traffic buildings. From scribbled-on pages to plastic coffee cups to coffee grinds, the Green Team enthusiastically encourages everyone to recycle. To best help eliminate the need for recycling, Cougars can purchase reusable cups, available in the University Store and in The Dome, which come with a complimentary drink. Reducing is also a recommended option. Habits such as printing on both sides of a paper and using Tupperware instead of Ziploc are highly recommended. While recycling is mandated in California's public institutions, it's hard to understand how highly the honor and prestige is in winning the competition. "This is awfully big on the east coast. We didn't really know how big this was. It has national resonance. We've been put on the map, in a positive way/' mentioned Hanson about Cal State San Marcos' win last year. "The competition is only going t6 get bigger and bigger and bigger." The slogan is: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Recycling should be considered the last option as with this year's new focus, Cal State San Marcos has been challenged to reduce its overall campus-wide amount of both trash and recyclables.

Across the Globe, and Women as Global Business Leaders." Women's Studies has approximately 30 students participating in the major program, with additional students participating in the minor program and at least 500 students enrolling in various courses to satisfy upper and lower division requirements. Equipped with three tenure professors and an average of five to seven lecturers, the department also hopes to expand its staff to accommodate the new coursework and help draw in students by offering more consecutive classes. "The task force seems interested in our transformation and direction of the department. The key message we have received f rom them has been to expand our core offerings," said Allison, "by relying less of sociology, psychology and other majors to support the degree program by sharing courses. We will be working on strengthening our internal capabilities." If this proposal for Gender and Sexuality Studies is approved, by fall 2007 students will have more courses to choose from that involve contemporary issues with a globalfocus.

With winter break now a memory, the time has come to start counting down the days until Spring Break. Instead of drinking away time, money, and precious brain cells this spring break, students have the option to apply to a program that will enable them to contribute to something positive by participating in this special program.

With this proposed department-wide transformation, however, the major would expand to include more courses that relate to all genders and concepts of sexuality. "One change that we are proposing is to require students within the major to take WMST 341: Men and Masculinity, which has previously been an optional course," said Allison. "We really want to emphasize the gender element. We will still have a number of courses that will specifically focus on women and girls, including an area of focus on women in all cultures.

We have been on the education grind now for at least four years straight, accustomed to writing papers, group work, lectures, and of course that mile walk we must endure to get to our first class. Every semester we go through these rituals in hope of a promising career that will propel us into the next step of our young adult lives. Undoubtedly some of us already have a career plan for the next five years after college, however, most still answer Grandma's notorious Christmas dinner question: "So what are you going to do when you get out of school?" with a solid "I'm not sure yet." Many then think to themselves and decide that whatever comes along is supposed to, justifying it as a matter of fate. Maybe it was fate that helped me find a person who has survived the CSUSM experience and is now very productive in her new career. Casey Raymond graduated in 2003, but started at a junior college near her home in Rancho Cucamonga just to fulfill her general requirements. It was not until she took a Sociology course there that she became interested in it for her major. "I wanted to learn about society and the people in it," she reflects. Her next step in completing her general Ed was to find a Cal State that would not only be good for her major, but would also fit her per- sonal needs as well. So, as most of us would do, she went to the internet for answers. Consequently she found that Cal Sate San Marcos was rated third among the top five schools for Sociology. She also relished in the fact that it was one of the newest Cal States and was still very close to the beach. Unlike a growing number of students, it took Casey only a total of four years to graduate. "I took more than a full load each semester, I took a summer school course, and I really like school, it was just easy for me." In addition to her maintaining a full load she also worked for Ralph's Grocery Store as a cashier. And yes, she did endure the strike. Even though she was making more money than some people field. with degrees, she still says that When asked if she could have now, "because of my degree I feel accomplished this goal without that it has given me an edge over her degree she replied, "Yes, but those in my field.

In addition to the Citizen's Academy, the University Police Department is also working to implement loss prevention through new methods such as Microdot. The program is still under development but, if implemented, it will allow students and faculty to purchase Microdot kits from the University Store for marking valuables such as laptop computers, cell phones, iPods, books, calculators and palm pilots. If stolen, marked items can be traced by University Police according to the Microdot patterns made by the item's owner which can be made visible only by black light. "Items can also be traced through pawn trained in CPR, first aid, and AED use. This is a great first step. Training is free, and it may save the life of someone you love, or even your own life someday," said Falkenthal.

CSUSM Police Officers will continue to attend Monday night dinners at University Village to allow students there to become more familiar with their services. Also, by Fall 2006, Community Service Learning will begin working with the University Police Department to provide internships for Criminology majors. Moving forward in 2006, CSUSM Police would like to work to dissolve boundaries between students . and officers. Chief Woodard urges all students to either visit the University Police Department or participate in their events this semester to form a better understanding of the services they also provide.

Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Eat. Sleep. School. Work. Party. No Sleep. Sound familiar? This was and is my life. I may be new here to the CSUSM campus, but attending different colleges and universities is nothing new to me. I'm 25 years old, graduated high school in 1998, and am literally working on my "10 yr. Bachelor's Degree". I grew up in San Diego, the oldest of three children. Although others may have said I had strict parents, to me I had "abnormally" strict parents. If homework was due at the end of the week, my parents made sure that it was completed the same day I received the assignment. I was not allowed to talk and gossip on the phone like most kids did, I wasn't even allowed to know any boys, let alone talk to them! Not only did homework have to be done before I was allowed to watch TV, but also all household chores. Take out the trash. Fold the laundry. Clean my room. Wash the dishes. It was unbearable! Naturally, as soon as I graduated high school, I took the first chance I got to get out of my parents, grip. I fled to Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Why Utah of all places? Well I was raised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as the Mormon Church. My parents did everything they could to talk me into staying in San Diego and attending Mesa College, but I was determined to get away and see what was out there. Having sent in my acceptance to BYU at the very last minute, I was not able to get into the dorms there, so as a 17 year old freshman, I shared a three bedroom apartment with five other girls. I was thrown into my own version of MTV's Real World. Now that I was free, f ree as a bird, I went out of control. I had What if no limits, no boundaries, no one telling me what to do. It was great!! Or so I thought. Do you know how much partying they do in Utah?! Well* I was always out clubbing, shooting pool, going to house parties, and whatever else I could do, I did. Of course I never showed up to my morning classes, and my grades slipped. And yet, as stubborn and hard headed as I was, I actually started to miss my family and friends in San Diego. My parents convinced me to move back a fter j ust one year at BYU. I figured they were right; I had no clue what I wanted to major in, I was living off student loans, I was 18 and as lost and confused as ever. They had reeled me in with the line, "Come home where it's f ree, take the time to find what it is you want to do, then go back up there with a plan." I never went back. You can't give a kid candy, then take it away and expect everything to be ok. My f reedom was my candy, and the minute I moved back home, the candy was snatched right out of my fingers. I had a curfew, I was not allowed on the phone a fter 9pm, I was not allowed out of the house unless my parents knew and met who I was going out with. It was back to the jailhouse for me! I soon obtained a j ob and attended Mesa College. I was a part time bank teller, part time college student, but also still a part time partygoer. I quickly became a shame to my parents as I spent several years bouncing around the San Diego County College District. Miramar, City, Mesa, I've almost attended them all. In the midst of this, I thought that I had to obtain my freedom back, so I moved out and got a roommate. Life was soon a lot harder than I had expected it to be. But as hard headed as I am, I was not going back to that jailhouse even though the pressure was on nice and strong. My younger brother was doing well at San Diego State University, and somehow, I made my own way into SDSU. I'm I hated math and science, and I loved to talk and write, so majoring in Communication j ust came naturally for me. At this point, I was working two part time jobs j ust to pay the rent, and it was safe to guess that my grades at SDSU were starting to slip. In fact, they slipped to the point that I found myself on academic probation, then disqualified. This was a cold hard slap in the face. I was then determined to get back into school and do it right. SDSU would only take me back in a fter a period of time, and under certain criteria that I thought was a bit ridiculous, so I explored my options. There were a few people I knew who had attended and graduated f rom Cal State San Marcos, and offered high recommendations. Some said it was a smaller campus, less crowded. Others have said it's j ust the atmosphere that's better. All have warned me about the stairs, calling it CSU Stair Master! For the week that I've been here I have noticed that the campus is beautiful. The grounds are kept nice and clean, and parking is not nearly as bad as it is at SDSU. The people here at CSUSM seem a lot more down to earth and easy to talk to. I 'm not sure what it is about this place, but I 'm confident that this will be my last stop at a college or university. In college, I leaped at a chance to get a tutor to help me pass my horrid math classes to get on with my life. My problem is I 'm good at being enveloped in the now. At seventeen I felt old and that life was flashing uncontrollably before my eyes. Once through junior high, every following year seemed to gather speed. I didn't realize as much as I do now that high school was truly only a stepping stone for the next phases of life. No time slips by as quickly as the college years. I have seen this school expand and change since I arrived as a freshman in the fall of 2002. I can still distinctly remember freshman year in which any student could find parking i athe first lot without waiting for another person to leave (and I 'm talking about prime, first row parking!). I picture the tiny old library and how I had to carry my track sports bag with me all day because I carpooled to a school that didn't yet have a field house f ull of lockers. My first friendships were formed with people on the track team my first year, and I remember how most of them didn't return my second year.

Cuba, Dominican Republic, Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, United States and Venezuela are left. I will start by eliminating Puerto Rico because I don't think they can get past Cuba which will cause them to get the No. 2 seed from that pool. However, they do have a shot. Their offense consists of Carlos Beltran, Juan Gonzalez, Ruben Sierra, Bernie Williams, Jose Cruz Jr., Felipe Lopez, Carlos Delgado and Jose Vidro. Without a doubt, they have the greatest catching crew in the tournament with Javy Lopez, Ivan Rodriguez, Bengie Molina and Yadier Molina. They are also managed by one of the best managers in the tournament in Jose Oquendo. Say Adios to Mexico because they're in the same pool as the United States and Canada which means Mexico might not even get past pool play. They do have a few nice players like Nomar Garciaparra, Erubiel Durazo, Jorge Cantu, and Adrian Gonzalez! However, that is not enough fire power to make up for weak pitching that only has Oliver Perez, Esteban Loaiza and Rodrigo Lopez worth mentioning.

Nü oliar i ' m l o v i n ' it �OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 24, 2006 Parking is NOT easy when you are a disabled student My first week back to school involved abdominal surgery and a special medical parking permit at Cal State San Marcos. I am a disabled student. My disease requires that I have surgery about every year or so, depending on the severity of my symptoms. This past week was the third surgery I have endured while attending CSUSM. Since I still had two weeks left to recover once spring semester started, I was eligible for a temporary medical permit so that I could park in what most students call The Dome parking lot. This sounds great. As anyone who attends CSUSM would know, walking up Craven Rd. with your backpack wouldn't work out after having abdominal surgery. So, here is the problem. The first day of school I arrived at 7:30 a.m. I arrived to find that the one medical permit spot on the CSUSM campus had already been taken. I spoke to someone in parking services to find a solution. I was told to "arrive earlier, or, get a ride to school." I was also told to move my car since I was not in the medical permit spot% I explained that I just had abdominal surgery, but the parking services still said I had to move my car. Why is it that, with a school of over 7,000 students, there is only one medical parking spot? There used t o be two. I knew from my past surgeries that it was difficult to get one of the two spots, but for some reason, parking took one of those spots away. I can't imagine how parking ser- vices could decide to do this. First of all, our campus is not very disabled student friendly. It is very difficult to get around when you are trying to heal, or dealing with the daily symptoms of your disability. If you are a student with a disability, or who has to have surgery, or even a student who has had some type of accident, it is not easy to get around. Why doesn't packing care about having enough medical permit spots to serve students with disabilities? The answer: If a student needs a medical/disabled parking pass for more than 14 days they can apply for a DMV permit which would give them a placard to park in handicap parking. This means anything less than two weeks and you are going to be one of the many disabled students fighting for that one spot. This may be because parking does not legally have to supply these spots; they have a choice; and here at CSUSM, they choose not to. Well, they choose to supply one. I find this deeply disheartening. In fact, it is completely ridiculous. community need to serve our disabled students to the best of our ability, students with longterm disabilities and short-term as well. We need more medical permit spots at Cal State San I found out in my last surgery Marcos! I am not asking for that I will probably never have to more parking spots, just a conhave another surgery for my dis- version, of regular student spots ease again, but I know that I am to medical spots that are close to not the only disabled student who campus and don't involve stairs. has struggled in the past to park I wonder how many disabled close to campus while recovering, students have stopped asking and I know many more will in the for medical permits when they future. I also know that many stu- needed them because of the difdents struggle with more serious ficulty they had in past experidisabilities than my own, and I ences. I wonder how many other can't imagine the frustration and students were told to move their car when it took every ounce of anger they must feel. I urge you to write letters and energy they had just to get there. send emails to parking services I wonder how many disabled demanding that we as a campus students called parking to ask Robbins Report By JASON ROBBINS Special to The Pride In a speech last week, you said "I think the worst thing that can happen for decision-makers is to get a filtered point of view." Mr. President, we agree on something. I know that you're busy with all that Commander in Chief business, but if you have a moment I'd like to f urther contaminate your understanding of current events. According to the folks that repeat stuff for money, ydu would prefer a "diplomatic" solution to the almost nuclear (translated: nukular) standoff with Iran. While diplomacy is also my preference, I want to make sure that we both understand what the word doesn't mean. The word "diplomacy" derives from the Greek word "diploma", which describes something that has been folded in half. One can trace the effects of this original meaning all the way up to modern American diplomacy. I think it was a famous gay marriage activist who, during long distance calls to his suspicious Arab lover, advocated folding the entire world into two sides—one Photo by Patrick B. Long / The Pride made up of those who are with us, and another made up of those who are against us. I digress. Clarification #1: The fact that ''diploma" describes something that has been folded into two should not compel you (in preferring diplomacy) to treat the Middle East like a piece of paper with Operation Iraqi Freedom to the right of the fold and Operation Iranian Freedom to the left. Plus placing "evils" beside a fold rather than upon an axis might confuse people. In addition to being descriptive and potentially confusing, one might also consider the word "diplomacy" to be ominous. For instance, one can arrange its letters to spell words like Modi (which means wrath in Norse Mythology), P.L.O. (which is a terrorist organization according to Israel), and malo (which means bad in Spanish). Clarification #2: The sum of diplomacy doesn't have to equal the sum of its parts. I mean, one can arrange the letters in the name George Walker Bush to spell "war loser" and "AWOL shrub". Check it out.

Here's the gist: a noble knight, Tristan (James Franco), and soon to be Queen Isolde (Sophia Myles) are born into royalty for rival countries. The stars align and fate intervenes, bringing the two together in a chance meeting some twenty or so years later. The two secretly fall in love and are then torn apart in what becomes an epic struggle between loyalty to ones' family and true love. If this story sounds vaguely familiar, then congratulations, you have a pulse! It's been done over and over and over, each time hitting the same mark as Tristan and Isolde did; a sweetly shallow love story that we will all forget about when the next version comes out next year. The movie did, however, BY AMANDA KEELEY Pride Staff Writer Hangovers.. the unpleasant side e ffect of knocking one too many back. As f un as a night of d rinking can be; no one likes the harsh reality a morning with hangover b rings. In fact the word "alone can cause one to feel nauseous. Fortunately, t here are some preventive steps t hat can be taken so as not to wake up with the dreaded hangover. Now, of course the obvious solution to preventing a hangover is not to d rink, but where's the f un in that? There are ways that one can still enjoy have its finer points and wasn't all together that unpleasant. If you promise not to tell anyone, part of me actually enjoyed the movie. Something about the cliché hope for true love conquering all is always intriguing. The moVie was filmed beautifully, and should be nominated for several awards accordingly. The lighting was masterfully captured and almost filled the romantic void between the actors. Moreover, the costumes and set designs were some of the best and most realistic I've ever seen. In every scene it seems every little detail had been thought out and organized to contribute to the greater picture. This is one of the first movies to capture the time period without exaggeration. The overall feel and mood of the movie definitely helped add to the love story, which needed all the help it could get. All the emotion for love that transcends all was there, but it felt strangely odd and out of an alcoholic beverage without s uffering for it. First o ff, i t's best to know what f actors can contribute to getting a hangover. One should never d rink while: on an empty stomach, lacking sleep, doing a physical activity or not d rinking enough water. Second, before drinking take a B vitamin complex, Better Nutrition says an active component actually has been shown to cut hangover symptoms in half. Third, d rink a glass of water before going to sleep, it helps preventing the symptoms that are caused by dehydration. Fourth, in the morning get plenty of v itamin Photo by Amanda Keeley / The Pride place. Nevertheless, if the girl the row over from me was evident of anything, this story should be good for at least a couple of tear jerking scenes. My advice for thé guys: be ready to shell out twenty bucks to take your girlfriend to a typical chick flick, and use this movie as leverage to take her to see Underworld Evolution. As for the girls, you more than likely know exactly how this movie will play out, and you won't be disappointed. You know, it's somewhat fitting that most movies about true love narrowly miss the mark. Despite their best efforts, it always seems evident that the two star-crossed lovers are after all acting for our enjoyment. Perhaps that's why we go back, time and time again, to watch this story unfold; to see if true love can actually be found. Or, maybe it's because it's the middle of January and there's nothing else to do. Either way, if you find yourself having to pick a romantic date movie, Tristan and Isolde should cater to the evening appropriately, and if you don't like it, don't worry, a new version will be out shortly with different actors who will undoubtedly find themselves lost in true love.
