M OGIL NAME REACTED JAMES R OCHE IVAN GARCIA MAEVE CAMPLISSON H as the era or a universally a ppealing artist passed? BY BILL RHEIN Senior Staff Writer Over the last twenty y ears, the role of the musician has changed in A merica. T his idea came to me c onsidering the death of Michael Jackson and the rerelease of the Beatles albums. These performers revolutionized their i ndustry, f rom the way music sounded, to the way it was made. What was u nique is that they appealed to everyone. I know not everyone liked or likes the Beatles or Michael Jackson, but in t heir heyday, a considerable p ortion of the world followed t hem. It is hard to deny the impact of " Beatle-mania," plus " Thriller" r emains the h ighest selling album of all time. The same goes for other a rt- ists, such as Elvis; however, t here does not seem to be someone in t his position today. T he p assing of the King of Pop h as r eminded me that t here is not a single band with the same u niversal appeal. I b elieve t his age h as p assed. C onsidering t he d iversity of music today, I doubt t here w ill b e an a rtist t hat a ppeals to t he m ajority of p eople. T his i s s omething t o look on with n ostalgia, but also we should look how f ar music h as come. What s tarted as simple expressions of self and culture h as become of an industry that has split into g enres to f it every t aste. The I nternet has made it even easier to f ind new music to suit o ne's t aste. The diversity of music h as changed, which can be seen by b reaking down g enres. For example, what was once j ust rock is now s oft r ock, h eavy r ock, m etal, i ndustrial, p op r ock, blues r ock, c ountry r ock, and so on. With so many o ptions now, each a ppealing t o d ifferent m arkets, everyone can find or m ake music t o suit their t astes. Yet, we cannot forget a t ime when some a rtists took t he world by s torm and revolutionized music. I doubt it can b e done a gain, but I will leave t hat t o t he music makers.

PhotosJbry Name Redacted N ative plant presentation packs auditorium BY BLAINE HMOGIL Pride Staff Writer It was standing room only in A rts 111 on the evening of Sept. 16, 2009 as several hundred p eople t urned out to listen to a p resentation on the u ses of indigenous and endemic plant species. This p resentation was j ust another class session for t hose in P rofessor S mall's VPA 311 c ourse, A rts World C ultures. But many of t hose f illing t he room t his evening were i nterested in broadening t heir u nderstanding of the n ative peoples with whom we share t his land today. Those a ttending sought to c onnect with those who have been the k eepers of t his land f or m illennia prior to t he a rrival of Western peoples. The t itle of the p resentation, " Edible, M edicinal, Material, Ceremonial Contemporary Ethnobotany of Southern C alifornia I ndians," may have led one to expect a very d ry c ollegiate discussion of plant, genus and species followed by d etails of the plants f unctions among Southern C alifornia N ative Indian Tribes. Anyone a ttending with "the expectation to receive such a s cientifically e nlightening e xperience would have come away very d isappointed. For anyone a ttending without p reconceptions, the evening was a delight. The p rofessor delivered the p resentation, and was enthusiastically commented on by c o-presenter Lydia Vassar, a Luiseno basket weaver who teaches basket weaving on the Pechanga r eservation at the Pechanga C Mmmakilawish School. It was a sentimental j ourney back in t ime to re-visit the lost and recently r e-discovered Luiseno a rt of weaving baskets, as well as a few side t rips t o d iscuss some of the other u seful plant species in the area. Vassar brought j oy and excitement to all in a ttendance as she focused less on the s pecific plant applications than she did on the e ssential and h armonious c o-existence between the p lants and the indigenous people. Her mother was in the audience f or the evening and also c ontributed some of h er wisdom t o t he conversation. In her s torytelling it was clear that m odern society was i mpacting the local t ribes, and l ocal p lants, both in a less than positive m anner. But the stories were n othing but positive, as she d escribed how t he knowledge of her own t ribes basket weaving had been lost, and was now being r eborn through the g uidance of elders among other t ribes. She is clearly p assionate about basket weaving, and her enthusiasm to inspire and guide a new generation of basket weavers is u nbounded. Basket weaving locally d epends on the Juncus p lant, a g rass species whose population is being t hreatened by non-native invasive species such a s Pampas g rass. In a ddition, several other f actors enter into t he equation of collecting m aterials to c reate t hese b askets that not only f unctional, but a re also in t heir own right g reat works of a rt. Among t he challenges of collecting enough of the Juncus t o begin the weaving, ( preferably the uncommon brown stems) include the all t oocommon o ccurrence of poison oak w ithin the r eeds of the J uncus p lant; Vassar described methods" she used to p rotect h erself f rom the vicious bite of t he poison oak oil as she h arvested plants for her c raft. A lso t hroughout history, t here have been no b oundaries to c ollecting plant?, and today f ences and b orders impinge on the t radition i tself. A s the local t ribes begin t o r ediscover t heir old ways, p erhaps t hose of u s who have c reated physical and s piritual b arriers can c reate new pathways to bridge these t wo c ultures t ogether in living harmony. Perhaps the best way to d escribe the event was a s an i ntercultural conversation, as r eminiscence to old ways, and an introduction for those who were unaware that t here are ways to e xperience l ife's great j oy without the relentless pur- suit of m onetary and m aterial r ewards. Spending t he e vening l istening and c onnecting was c ertainly a reward in i tself. Photos by Blaine H. Mogil �Faces & Places S tudying a broad at C S U S M Accents THE PRIDE BY JAMES ROCHE Pride Staff Writer My name is James Roche. I'm a student at the University of Central Lancashire, UCLan, and I'm here at Cal State San Marcos on a yearlong exchange program. Anyone heard of the English city of York? Don't worry, you're not the only one. It's in Northern England and is over four hours away from London. So being from the north of E ngla^, the opportunity to come study in Southern California was too good to turn down. For most international students thinking about, studying abroad, California is theprime choice; the sun, sand and sea on your doorstep everyday is a dream come true! I arrived. here a couple of weeks earlier than I was required to, as I wanted to relax and enjoy the place before the classes started. Once those two weeks were up I had to move into the University Village Apartments, which was a bit strange initially for me as everyone at university in England has their own room. I think I've been lucky because I get along with my roommate and the other guys in my apartment. This is a concern for most internationals upon coming jto America I think, as you do hope to get along with someone who you will be living in the same room for the next six months to a year. The people that I have met out here have been nice and welcoming, and I already knew a few people before I came across the pond. This is due to them coming to my university in England on an exchange program. This is also how 1 met my American girlfriend! Having a British accent seems to be a nice thing to have here as it's an easy way to start up a conversation and most people seem to like it. I'm taking Mass Media classes here and have found them quite interesting. It's nice when the professor comes to you for an international view on the topic, for example we recently talked about American Idol and it was nice to mention that Britain had the idea for that show first! The budget crisis was a serious shock to me though as I was not made aware anything like this could happen when I applied to CSUSM. I have had one class cancelled already which was both worrying and annoying at the same time. I was also astounded at the amount of books you have to buy and the cost, although speaking to a few people I think I've been lucky with my course. I think I'll struggle to get used to a few things. For example, why does football have to be soccer here? That hurts me the most! Also, Americans refer to table tennis as ping pong. I know they're the same thing but it's my English pride that takes the hit saying it differently. However, with all the differences, CSUSM seems like a great place to come to and I think I'm going to have a great year! Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 O a nd culture shock BY IVAN GARCIA Pride Staff Writer Who'd have thought after 3 weeks ofconversing with the local Brits, that I wouldn't understand a good majority of local sayings? It's simply shocking walking into the local Essentials Food Market (like Cougar Corner, only British) to pick up a loaf of bread and a Diet Coke, and after I pay I follow up with an immediate thank you only to have the person on the other side of the register reply with "cheers." No, we weren't toasting to my purchase with a large pint of Guinness, this is a local expression for "thank you" and/or "have a nice day." Everywhere I go this is said along with varying other says that I seem to slowly pick up, like the fact that frenchfriesare known as chips, then what are Doritos know as? The point is that a good majority ofwhat we know can drastically change depending on where you are in the world and how you're perceived. I know I got some strange look when I said "fanny pack" in public (yeah, it's actually a word used to describe a certain body part, try to guess!). And with that comes the realization of culture shock—the idea of being in a new and foreign place where things as little as words could mean completely the opposite. But it's a good culture shock, the learning outcomes that come from it are one that will help throughout the rest of the time living in said coun- try and it's definitely something to take back home. Speaking of taking things back home, accents! They're sexy, different, and above all, just plain awesome! Going to class every other day puts you at the forefront of speech in a foreign country, so sure enough, my dream would be to come sounding like Daniel Craig or something. And along with the culture shock, comes the fact that I myself didn't know that I had an accent apparently. According to locals, I'm the one with the American accent, and somehow they can pinpoint that I'mfromCalifornia. It's just simply something that I never thought about, here I was ready to go to the UK and gain an accent for myself. All the while, people already in the UK were prepping to hear accents from varying countries, including theU.S. So, it just goes to show, that even though almost every country contains people, buildings, roads, we're all essentially the same. We are people, united under the banner of Homo sapiens. But we should all strive to learn from the cultures of others to influence and better ourselves. So, I propose a trade, how about the UK brings over a Chipotle franchise here to understand the deliciousness of it (I'm dying for a burrito STAT!). And in return, America will create a method to gain cool British and phrases to better understand our friends across the pond. Deal? L ooking to join a g ym? Y ou a lready h ave! N ew A SI fitness classes are available to all students BY MAEV E CAMPLISSON Pride Staff Writer ulty, and staff are all welcome to join at anytime during the semester. The week days and times of the program ASI Campus Recreati|h and The vary with each, class, but the full Clarkefieldhouse now offer an array schedule is available from brochures of fitness classes including Zumba, in The Clarke. Students may join for yoga, ab blast, and a boot camp-style free, while faculty and staff pay $39 workout The classes take place in per class, which is a 22% discount the gym, and they started the week from last year's cost Saul Garcia, the Intramural Coorof September 14th but students, fac- dinator, described the casual nature of the programs as "basically just classes where you can come, show up, and participate." Since they are already covered by the tuition fees students pay at the beginning of each semester, students "should at least check them out," Garcia said: The ASI Coordinator of Campus Recreation, Hugo Lecomte, said that image courtesy of Associated Students Inc. before attending fitness classes or working out in the gym, participants will need to have a membership card for Hie Clarke, which students can easily obtain by visiting The Clarke field house and filling out a few forms. He also advised partakers to arrive early enough to warm up before classes start Getting your body properly stretched is one of the most important things to do before working out, so make sure to look up some stretches online if you don't remember anyfromprevious fitness classes. The newfitnessclasses are just one of the many free resources students have on campus that they may not even know about, and they are also a fun way to get a good work out, stay healthy, and socialize. �O Tuesday SEPTEMBER 29, 2 009 Arts & Entertainment W orld M usic BY AMY SALISBURY Copy Editor The proverbial "bubble" is the newest form of international criticism toward American people. You've heard of it: the idea that Americans are culturally aittight. This Zip-lock effect extends beyond our collective ignorance concerning world politics and events. It also controls even our pop cultural preferences. Of course, the latter isn't necessarily a societal detriment; any country could say the same about its inhabitants to some degree. The majority of U.S. Americans have heard of The Beatles from England, Bjork from Iceland, and Shakira from Columbia. The problem is, the greater part of international musicians that are established in America are the ones who have catered to American taste, likely because American entertainment monopolizes much of youth culture. It's a natural thing considering the largest and most powerful record labels currently call the States home. Seeing as how artists like Mariah Carey hog even the World Music Awards, the most effective way to hunt for international musicians is to do just that: hunt. I offer the following artists under the disclaimer that 1 am indeed an American as well and can only go as far as the Internet may take me. Onward, I say! Indipop broke into the American entertainment sceiie with the success of the British film Slumdog Millionaire. Indian composer and producer Allah Rakha "A.R." Rahman began scoring Bollywood movies in t he 90s, garnering mass success in his native India before "Jai Ho" came to the States. He's worked with several Hindi and Tamil musicians to turn out hit after hit in his token symphonic style, prevalent in India as well as in Indian communities in Europe. Origa, or Ol'ga Vital'evna Yakovleva, is a Japanese pop singer of Russian origin. She gained popularity throughout the 90s and early 2000s with the rise in mainstream Anime interest, and the majority of her fanbase is still in Japan. The language Origa sings in varies by album; sometimes she will even use more than one language in the same song. Though she is no longer an active artist in Russian, the Japanese still can't get enough. Polish music culture is unusual because it's one of the only countries without pop music ruling the charts. Rather, Poland has a huge death metal scene, with the band Vader at the forefront. As you'd imagine, the band took their name from the Star Wars series, and their style certainly reflects the character's darkness. Throughout Ukraine, Germany, and the THE P RIDE Image courtesy of Jmignited.com Czech Republic, Vader satiates their fans' desire for the best death metal in Eastern Europe. For over 25 years, Egyptian musician Amr Diab released and continues to release the most popular music in the country. He's smashed album sales records throughout the Middle East and is as loved today as in the mid-80s when he first came to prominence. His dance-style music crosses over to places including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Saudi Arabia, and is considered the favorite of all Arab pop singers. The planet is a big place, and the musical world is even larger. Each of the nearly 200 countries in existence has its unique variants and reasons for why its people enjoy the music they do. Language is an understandable barrier, but the love of music is unanimous. A uthor b rings real w orld e xperience to C S U S M BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Knowing a successful author brings reality to the forefront and is no longer a distant hypothetical for aspiring student writers on campus. The Community and World Literary Series featured author Stephen-Paul Martin at CSUSM's Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon on Thursday, Sept. 24. It was a grand evening filled with buzz and excitement. Stephen-Paul Martin is a widely published author with work ranging from poetry, fiction and non-fiction. The National Critics Circle Fiction Award in 1993 nominated Martin for "The Gothic Twilight." His most recent collection is "The Possibility of Music." He graduated from New York University with his doctorate. His upcoming fiction collection "Changing the Subject," will debut in 2010, published by Ellipsis Press. Professor Mark Wallace started the literary series on campus and over the years brought real world experience to the academic scene. His intentions included giving students the opportunity to see and discuss published work with the authors themselves. Student Jennifer Hylander admitted she had attended the event as a required assignment. However, she said, "I would have come even if it wasn't an assignment, because [Martin] is a great writer and I can learn something from him." The reading began with StephenPaul Martin instructing the listeners to clear their minds of intent and preconceived notions. He read a story inspired by illegal whaling practices and by Herman Melville's « Moby Dick. He forewarned us about by his intentions of portraying the way humans abuse animals for their own self-serving. Student Jeannine Clark' had mixed feelings on this aspect of on Martin's writing. She said, "Stephen-Paul Martin obviously is a very compassionate man with a big heart for animals. At times though, I felt like he had an agenda to push and that got in the way of the writing for me." She followed by adding, "I do think the reading series is important for literature and writing students so that we get the chance to see contemporary writers read and discuss their work." ; Even though this event is beneficial to the development of student, it has not escaped the looming shadow of the budget crisis. Last year there were three Literary Series events. This semester there will only be two events not because of lack of demand but because of lack of funding. "It's like they cut the things that help us most. I'm here because I want to be a good writer. Who else can teach me that but a good published writer? What are we paying for?" said student Rachel Busnardo. Salt to taste Pepper to taste Cook macaroni according to package direction in salted water. Drain and let cool. Fill pot with cold water and add eggs. On stovetop, bring water and eggs to boil. Bringing the eggs to boil starting with cold water will keep them f rom breaking. Boil eggs for seven minutes. Remove eggs from water and let cool. Mix green onion, bell pepper, lemon j uice and salt in bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. This will release a lot of the moisture and soften the bell pepper and onion. Slice eggs in h alf and remove yolks. Dice egg whites and put aside.

Cougar kitchen BBQ & M ac BY TRISH CORRIGAN Pride Staff Writer Shoved in the back of my drawers and stuck in the crevices of my refrigerator are colorful packets of single serving sauces. I get them with tacos, chicken nuggets, french f ries and chow mien. They span great lengths of the. fast food and takeout culinary landscape. I am a hopeless packrat of packets, never throwing anything out because of the slim chance I might need it, whatever it may be. Finally came a day when my husband sat me down calmly and said, "Use it or lose it." Out of fear of jny collection of condiments going to t he trash, I turned my stash into dinner. Condiments are expensive. To buy a whole bottle of soy sauce when all you need is a splash can be overwhelming on the pocket book. In these two recipes I have used a bevy of basics such as mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, Tabasco, soy sauce, sugar, and even salt and pepper. I would also like to make a special thanks to Chik-Fil-A who has a lovely selection of condiments j ust lying out there in the open waiting for customers to choose. The sauce for my macaroni salad is basic and you can use it for tuna salad, chicken salad, even coleslaw. Also, BBQ sauce is a basic combination of sugar and ketchup, as used in my chicken recipe. So save those packets of condiments and get creative.

According to the official Army autopsy reports in the film, Dilawar was brutally beaten to death after only five days in custody at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan. His death was reported on widely and it is clear that those who caused his death were heinous in their actions and it is still unclear how high up the chain of command the orders to treat prisoners in this fashion went. It is not too difficult to imagine that this came from the very highest levels of military command. No matter the driving force behind these crimes, this film goes to great lengths to try to discern the truth. In response to the excellent reporting contained in this film and the sensitive manner with which all concerned have been portrayed, this film has received a 100% rating on the film review site Rotten Tomatoes making iKthe third highest film rating in that website's history.
