Over the past five years, tuition has increased in the CSU and UC system by 94 percent and 84 percent, respectively. For lower, working, and now even middle class California students, a college education is quickly becoming afleetingaspiration, as many are being priced out of college. A new "groundbreaking" student movement could change all of that. California students made legislative history on Nov. 14, filing the first-ever student-led ballot initiative to freeze tuition in the CSU and UC systems. If passed, the initiative would suppress any further tuition increases for the next five years and would not permit subsequent tuition increases to surpass the rate of inflation. See INCREASE, page 2 President Haynes announces Brakebill award recipient BY BEN ROFFEE Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 16, President Karen Haynes announced Dr. Juan Necochea will be the recipient of the 2008 Brakebill Distinguished Professor Award. The highest faculty honor awarded at CSUSM, the Brakebill award is granted annually to a faculty member that demonstrates extraordinary achievement in teaching. The award derives its name from former executive vice chancellor of the Cal State University, Harry E. Brakebill.

Fields explained the increase in parking permit prices might drive some students to park illegally at the shopping center structure across the street from campus. Out of the closest CSU campuses in the area, San Marcos has the most expensive prices compared to San Diego State University's parking permits, which went for $135 for Fall 2007. CSU Fullerton had theirs for $144 and Long Beach for $98.

CSU Board of Trustees submit 2 008/09 budget proposal Student fees slated to increase in near future BY JACKIE CARBAJAL Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 13-14, the CSU Board of Trustees met in an open session to review the preliminary draft of a state budget request for the 2008/09 CSU academic year. During the brief plenary meeting on Nov. 13, the Trustees implemented an ad hoc committee to review last week's state audit issues on CSU executive compensation. The temporary committee will report to the Trustees during their Jan. 22-23 meeting in Long Beach. The Trustees also established a budget request asking Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for state funding for the 2008/09 school year. The governor will announce his proposed budget for the state of California by Jan. 10. The budget request also called for another 10 percent student fee increase in the CSU system. $24 8 Cross country competes in NAIA championship BY TIM MOORE Dina Cervantes, Chair of the housing and transportation costs Pride Staff Writer California State Student Asso- and having to work multiple CSUSM cross country ciation, and Lieutenant Governor jobs.

The Regents and Board of Trustees rejected his proposals last week. "The legislature and the governor don't always make things happen that people want to happen," said campaign director Chris Vaeth in a conference call with student reporters on Nov. 13. Having submitted the initiative, the group will wait on the Attorney General to draft the official title and summary to appear on the petition forms. Volunteers will then collect signatures from January all the way up to the April 17, 2008 deadline. In order to make the ballot for the November 2008 elections, the group will be forced to collect over 400,000 signatures by the April deadline. According to Valeria Fike-Rosales, a lead organizer for the group, Tuition Relief Now has compiled a database of over 1500 interested on-campus organizations, "creating a large volunteer base throughout the UC and C SU" "Because this campaign is volunteer-driven, we have really been trying to increase student organizing on each of these campuses in addition to reaching out to community colleges, high school students, parent organizations, and other community organizations that would have a vested interest in this campaign," said Rosales. Although the group has made an effort to reach out to the UC and CSU faculty unions, according to Vaeth, "they haven't taken a position." However, Vaeth maintained that there have been discussions with the two groups on the matter. "I think once this initiative is filed, it will start to shake out... where people place themselves in support of the initiative and then what they put towards it in terms of volunteers and resources. While the advantages to students are clear, Vaeth asserted that there is also a "corollary benefit" offered by the initiative. Anyone who signs the petition for the initiative must be a registered voter, a challenge that the group will meet by offering on-the-spot voter registration. As a result, Vaeth claims, "we anticipate registering at least 100,000 new, young voters. les, addressed the Committee on Finance saying "Faculty live Garamendi was quick to point with the consequences on our stuout the political underlying of such dents of your decisions.

Under the Higher Education Compact, CSU should see enrollment growth of 2.5 percent, which translates to approximately 445,000 students. However, CSU is expecting an additional 4,000 students in the 2008/09 year. So far, those 4,000 students are not funded in the budget, spelling out more financial trouble if universities do not receive additional funding from the state. The budget also calls for a three percent ($91.1 million) compensation increase for faculty and staff as well as a 2.83 percent increase ($86 million) to address faculty and staff salary lags. According to the California Postsecondary Education Commission, the CSU faculty salary lag is at 12.9 percent. "This budget request positions the CSU to maintaining access and academic quality," said CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed. "We are asking the state to fund enrollment growth, provide revenue to avoid an increase in student fees, and support compensation increases that will help the system make progress toward its goal of paying market-competitive salaries for faculty and staff."

With the help of the Greenlining Institute, a public policy group, UC and CSU students are rapidly mobilizing to curb tuition increases.

Last Sunday, despite having a horrific second half, the Chargers managed to defeat the then 7-1 Indianapolis Colts in a brisk and soggy night at Qualcomm. The Chargers fortunes were not the same on Sunday, as they traveled to the east coast to take on the injury prone Jaguars in a game that had playoff implications for both teams. Jaguars quarterback, David Garrard started his first game in nearly a month, after coming back from a high ankle sprain suffered in their October 22nd game against Indianapolis. Garrard pleased the home crowd, completing 15 of 24 passes for 189 yards and two touchdowns. The Jaguars put up the first points of the game thanks to a 48-yard Josh Scobee field goal. Jacksonville scored again with 40 seconds remaining in the first quarter as running back, Maurice Jones-Drew rushed for a one-yard touchdown. The Chargers scored their first points at Tuesday; November 20, 2007 begins with a question... ... and ends with discovery the ten minute point in the second quarter, on a-23-yard Nate Kaeding field goal. Jacksonville quarterback, David Garrard passed to wide receiver, Reggie Brown through the middle for a 36-yard touchdown, bringing the Jaguars lead to 17-3 at halftime. LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for six yards to the right for a touchdown at the beginning of third quarter, bringing the Chargers within seven points, only for Jacksonville to strike again, this time on a David Garrard to Marcedes Lewis oneyard touchdown pass. The Chargers got their only passing touchdown with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers passed to Antonio Gates through the middle for 24 yards. Jacksonville's defense held the Chargers through the rest of game, resulting in a 24-17 victory, knocking the Chargers off track, and leaving them questioning their future in the playoffs. The Jaguars are now 7-3 on the season. The loss brings the Chargers to a record of 5-5, however, they still remain in first place in the AFC West. The Chargers come back home next Sunday to face the 4-6 Baltimore Ravens at 1:15 p.m. on CBS. The 2008 CSUSM Student Research Competition!

The holiday shopping season spans f rom the middle of November, up u ntil C hristmas day.

Among the f rontrunners f or this holiday season's shopping websites are eBay.com, A mazon, com, Overstock.com, and Shopzilla.com. One of the most recognizable names on the internet is eBay. Since its inception in 1995, eBay, com has become a top ten website in A merica based on hits, eBay is unique to many of the other e -commerce sites, d ueto its use of online auctions that amass the m ajority of sales on the website. eBay is also unique in that the basis is for their service is to serve as the middle-man, connecting sellers to buyers, rather than directly selling products.

Under the leadership of Dr. Mtafiti Imara, Associate Professor of Music, the two ensembles are looking to fill in their r anks with willing and able musicians. "We want to get as many musicians to come out and try-out as possible," said Dr. Imara. However, he also maintained, " "we want musicians who do have some experience." With the Jazz ensemble in particular, Dr. Imara emphasized, "although improvisation is a big part of [Jazz], but we do want people who can read music as well." Like any music group, interested candidates must t ry out and validate themselves in order to j oin either ensemble. Dr. Imara also noted, "it is a competitive t hing...it's not unlike the track team or the baseball team." While the group does demand a solid musical background, they are also looking to embrace a diverse instrumental arrangement. "We're looking for all instrumental musicians. It doesn't have to be a traditional Jazz ensemble, it can b e strings, it can be violin, it can b e any k ind of orchestral instrument." According to Dr. Imara, they plan to play at various j azz festivals, schools, churches, and two unspecified venues in San Diego. Students can also look forward to seeing the two ensembles playing in and around campus next semester. Interested students can contact Dr. Imara by telephone at (760) 750-8007 to arrange a try-out. The Jazz Ensemble meets in ARTS 116 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. and the Vocal Ensemble meets in ARTS 111 on Monday and Wednesday f rom 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Dr. Imara urges those interested to contact him as soon as possible so they can begin practicing for next semester. �FEATURES THE PRIDE November is Native American Month CSUSM's Native population has a place to congregate and give back BY KATHRYN MCBRAYER Pride Staff Writer The American Indian Students Association (AISA) is a CSUSM organization where students are involved in this months' celebration of Native Americans, as well a s activities throughout the year that celebrate and honor Natives in our community. As a part of CSUSM, AISA strives to educate students about Native culture and facilitate leadership opportunities for Native American students. The AISA is involved in cultural events and conferences at high schools and colleges within the community. AISA participates in Intertribal Alliances and organizes fundraisers for Native and non-native communities. The purpose statement for AISA is to "increase awareness and acceptance of American Indian Culture and to promote the educational experience of American Indians on campus by fostering a positive multicultural interaction both in and outside of the classroom." AISA provides spiritual leadership and spiritual events for Natives on campus. They have both a male and female spiritual advisor that students are welcome to contact for guidance. Most recently, AISA is organizing a fundraiser for a plaque to name Tukwut courtyard. The courtyard was renamed from Craven Courtyard to Tukwut Courtyard ear- lier this year and the AISA would like to provide a plaque to signify the name change. In cooperation with the Tribal task force, AISA is accepting donations of household items for the 29 La Jolla families that Jost their home in the recent fires. XlSA is also hosting a Thanksgiving Dinner for those families at Pauma Casino. People who are interested in making cash or household donations are encouraged to contact Claudia McCraine at mccra009@csusm.edu to make their donations. Check out the AISA's web site http://www.csusm.edu/aisa/ for more information on activities throughout the year to get involved in. The AISA is participating in are a sweat lodge and potluck ceremony in Alpine ori Dec 1. The potluck is a celebration of the Cherokee winter ceremony to "honor the long night's sleep of the bear." The ceremony starts at 3 p.m. and the sweat lodge at 4 p.m. Participants are encouraged to bring a side dish or beverage and a stuffed bear to donate to local children. AISA will be joining in a drum circle in Norco on Nov 24. The AISA has many opportunities for students who would like to understand more about their own native culture or become knowledgeable of Native culture.

Major League Baseball announced a profit of over $6 billion and for fans outside of San Francisco, the baseball gods have spoken and the federal grand j ury indicted Bonds on one count of obstruction of justice and four counts of perjury based on 19 lies. The lies range from not knowingly taking steroids and lying about being injected with steroids by longtime friend and trainer Greg Anderson. Anderson, who has been in prison since Dec. 7, 2006 for refusing to testify to a grand j ury about Bonds, was released Thursday. Which brings up the question, is he finally going to speak? Being the conspiracy theorist I am, the first question I asked myself was if there was a reason why Anderson was finally released the day after Bonds was indicted? I feel that since the All-Star game was being played in San Francisco and Bonds on the verge of breaking the homerun record this past season.

The game allows for analyzing Sims on an individual basis. Jen Heidke, Sim of Ghettofabville stated, "I've got myself afinejob working at the Tulip Nursery and I could not be happier." The Sims can also be individually viewed by a camera that will follow them as they walk around the city. Furthermore an awesome new feature of the game allows gamers to edit the game. Users can edit the game via Extensible Markup Language (XML) file or edit the game script file. Essentially the game has morphed into a culture micromanaging simulator. The difficulty of the game has decreased dramatically. Gone are the days of ruthless mayors and steep taxes as known in the four previous Sim City games. Now are the days of happy Sims and themed cities. Do not hock Sim City 4 on e-Bay just yet. The Bank credits Mexican food as an Old Town favorite BY JACKIE CARBA JAL Pride Staff Writer Choosing the right dining locale should never be a stressful event. If you're in the mood for traditional Mexican food and are looking for a little history with your meal, look no further than The Bank of Mexican Food in Temecula. Don't let the name fool you. This doesn't involve the exchange of chimichangas for burritos and food, albeit good food, is not considered currency in Temecula. The Bank is simply your typical 'hole in the wall' nestled deep in the heart of Temecula's Old Town Front Street. The building, constructed in 1914, served originally as The First National Bank of Temecula. After enduring a foiled robbery attempt in 1930, closure during WWII, and a short run as an antique shop, The Bank was refurbished into a Mexican style restaurant in 1978. Priding itself as the second oldest restaurant in Temecula, the newly remodeled eatery still maintains t he ambiance of the Old West. Guests receive nothing short of attentive service upon walking through the double paneled doorway of the quaint building with its high ceilings and Mexican art adorned walls. On a warm day, patio seating is available with the view of not only other Old Town buildings, but also a fountain waterfall. Upon seating, the server will bring out tortilla chips and dipping salsa. As tasty as it may be, take caution in filling up on this complimentary appetizer. Meals range in price from $3.45 quesadillas to $11.95 carnitas or carne asada. The menu offers combination platters of up to three traditional Mexican entrees for $8.95. If you consider ordering the El Banco burrito, I suggest requesting the salsa to a minimum unless you prefer soup in your burrito. The carne asada burrito is a great choice. If you prefer your burritos packed with goodness, make sure you fill it Photo by Jackie Carbajal / The Pride up with the beans and rice that come with the plate. Drinks offered include Old Town Bottled Root beer, Horchata and Margaritas. Each entrée comes with rice and beans and select entrees include The Bank's signature guacamole in a decadent miniature tortilla shell. The Bank's historical significance and one of a kind featuresguests have the option of dining in the exclusive bank vault-will stay with you long after the fullness in your tummy subsides. If you remember to limit your chip and salsa intake and keep your combination plate to a minimum, you may still have room for one of the three dessert options offered. Aside from the choices of flan and deep fried ice cream, the $2.25 churro definitely takes the cake(so to speak). Filled inside with custard and served with whipped cream, The Bank's churro is a far cry from your typical amusement park treat. With this restaurant as a destination choice, you needn't stop there. Old Town Street itself boasts numerous attractions such as old time photography, live entertainment, and nearby wineries. On weekends, The Bank offers an alluring breakfast menu with some entrees served all day. For a dining experience that matches food quality, The Bank proves to be the perfect investment. BY JONATHAN THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer Kona Brewing Company brews Pipeline Porter in Kona, Hawaii. Father Cameron Healy and son Spoon Khalsa founded the brewery in spring of 1994. The brewery has three main brews: Big Wave Golden Ale; Longboard Islander Lager; and Fire Rock Pale Ale. The brewery brews other specialty beers and limited edition releases, such as Pipeline Porter. The brewery mainly sells in Hawaii but also sells to other regions in the United States, Japan, and China. The brewery also operates two pubs. Kona released their limited e dition Pipeline Porter on October 1st. 100% Kona Coffee comprises the porter along with chocolate and caramel malts. The porter won a silver medal under the "Other Beer" category in this year's Australian International Beer Awards. The porter's label contains a surfer with a longboard making his way to the ocean to ride some pipelines. Dark brown, light blue and dark orange comprise the colors utilized for the scene. The porter's orange bottle cap caps a beer with an alcohol by volume of 5.4%. The porter pours smooth creating a small tan head. Naturally, coffee aroma dominates the lovely scent rising from the glass. The porter has a rich black composition. The porter enters the mouth calmly. Upon entry, gentle waves of sweet chocolate and soothing coffee wash all corners of the mouth. The porter continues down the throat leaving the mouth, tongue, and taste buds in state of comatose. The brewery recommends paring the porter with hearty soups and stews, roast beef sandwiches, pot roast and mashed potatoes, especially on a cold day. Skip Starbucks on Thanksgiving and stroll over to Beverages and More for a delicious coffee flavored treat. Pipeline Porter's smooth chocolate and coffee flavors clearly make this brew the best beer of the week for this semester thus far.
