S ANDRA C HALMERS
E DITOR-IN-CHIEF

Cal State San Marcos is
creating new divisions of current colleges to help equally
distribute and distinguish academic idisciplines on campus.
University officials have
recognized the need to restructure the current composition
of colleges to help meet the
need for growth and development in the university's future.
Currently the College of Arts
and Sciences (CoAS) fosters
more than 50 percent of the degree programs available on campus, including 25 Bachelor of
Arts and Bachelor of Science programs and 32 minors. The new
split would divide science and
math disciplines into the new College of Science and Mathematics
and further divide the other CoAS

departments into College of Arts,
Humanities and Social Sciences.
Further advancements include the new addition of College of Education, Health and
Human Services that will house
Education, Nursing, Kinesiology and Human Development.
The College of Business Administration will not be affected by any of the new changes.
"The restructuring is rearranging departments and schools
and colleges, in the case of Nursing and Education, in a way that
best positions the university for
moving forward," said David
Barsky, Associate Vice President of Academic Programs.
"I am confident that this will
position us well to leverage our
strengths and create a stronger impact with our programs.

�ASI UTAH EXCURSION ALLOWS STUDENTS TO SEEK
FUN, THRILLS DURING SPRING BREAK

r

J ULIAN K ERSTETTER
LAYOUT E DITOR

For most college students
nowadays, Spring Break poses
a significant conundrum. On the
one hand, who doesn't want to get
away from the rigors of school
and go and enjoy vacation time
in a beautiful and relaxing location f ar from home? On the other
hand, who wants to fork out the
time, energy and money needed
to make a trip like that possible?
With gas prices looming at about
$4 a gallon and tuition skyrocketing along with them, chances
are, Spring Break with no extra costs sounds nice and much
more manageable. However,

vacation doesn't need to break
the bank or complicate your free
time. This semester, a handful of
students took their one week of
freedom into their own hands and
took off on an adventure that any
outdoor-lover would envy: an
outdoor excursion trip to Utah.
Sponsored by ASI, CSUSM's
Alternative Spring Break program allows students on a budget to have fun and get out with
some friends without the stress
of high costs and major planning.
One of this semester's Spring
Break programs, a Utah excursion, found around 14 CSUSM
students hiking and biking their
way along scenic canyons and
breathtaking desert terrain for
seven days and six nights. The
students, along with Brian Daw-

son from the University Village
Apartments (UVA) and Hugo
Lecomte from Campus Recreation as their guides, journeyed
to the famous Utah hotspots
Zion Canyon, Bryce Canyon and
Arches as well as participated in
a mountain bike ride in Moab.
For those of you who haven't
heard of these recreational areas,
Bryce and Zion Canyons are two
national parks located in southern Utah while Arches National
Park is located in eastern Utah.
Bryce and Zion Canyons, while
certainly not as big or as amazingly vast as their often compared-to counterpart the Grand
Canyon, offer nature lovers awe
inspiring vistas of jutting rock
formations and sweeping cliffs,
all set against the majestic back-

drop of the Utah desert. Arches
National Park, in comparison,
offers exactly what its name
implies, a look at some of the
most unique and brilliant rock
arch formations in the world.
Altogether, these three parks are
some of the most beautiful and
naturally thrilling locations in
the southwestern United States.
A trip to the canyons of Utah
is unforgettable, and for this particular trip, everything, including
accommodations (and for those
of you who prefer not to sleep on
the ground, all accommodations
were indoors), only cost each
student who participated $200. In
the words of one of the campers,
Whitney Brown, a senior majoring in Kinesiology, the trip was an
"absolute steal and totally worth

it." Brown also commented that
"it was %ne of the most memorable trips [she l as] been on. It
w^s a Iife\changing experience
and absolutely unforgettable."
For those already settled into
the final few months of this semester, keep in mind that this
time, next year, you could be
returning refreshed and renewed
from an alternative Spring Break
sponsored by ASI. Hopefully
now you know that it won't
leave you broke, will give you
a chance to spend time with
some friends, and will leave
you refreshed and renewed before returning back to the grind.

DORM STUDENTS BUILD HOMES IN MIAMI OVER SPRING BREAK
RYAN D O W N S
P RIDE STAFF W RITER

Any student will tell you that
the best part of the second semester is, of course, the part without
any school. It is a known fact that
most of the country's students
have regarded Spring Break as an
eagerly anticipated opportunity
for surfing, sports and general
relaxation. It is a week during
which students can engage in far
more activities than are usually
available during winter and can
enjoy a taste of what is yet to
come over summer break, albeit
at a more manageable temperature. However, at CSUSM's own
Univesity Village Apartments
(UVA), not everyone went home
for the break; as part of an alternative Spring Break program, a
large group of students from the
dorms volunteered to work with
Habitat for Humanity, building homes in Miami, Florida.
These select few students
worked long, hard hours, building houses for low-income families in the Miami area. According to Marcos Villanueva, one
of the students who participated
in the trip, "we'd wake up at 6
[a.m.], work from 7:30 [ ajn.] to
around 3:30 [p.m.]." The group
worked on a different portion
of the house each day. '"Some-

times we did dry wall, we did
insulation, floor boards, a lot of
different stuff," James Sanchez,
another student, said. "We didn't
finish any houses, but we prepared it [s/c] for the blitz days,"
Villanueva elaborated, "basically, we built the foundation,
which took about four days, and
Habitat [for Humanity] is going
to swiftly finish the houses over
the course of 10 days." Overall,
the group played a crucial part
in helping Habitat for Humanity, creating houses for those who
desperately need them. "It's lifechanging," Sanchez said, "because it opens your eyes to new
experiences and other problems
that are going on this country."
The experience, however, was
not all work. "We went sightseeing, we went to alligator
swamps, and we went fanboating," Sanchez said. Villanueva
added, "Although we had to work
a lot we needed some free time.
We saw famous sites like "Miami
Ink." One of the nights they had
a party for the workers, just to
say thanks." In addition to giving
back to the community, the group
managed to have fun in Miami, making the experience that
much more rewarding. Overall,
the group worked hard, but the
payoff was great. They not only
gave back to the community; they
had a lot of fun in the process.

Interested in seeing spring's
early beauty? Why not enjoy a few hours at the Carlsbad Flower Fields—50 acres
of brightly blooming flowers.
The fields, which overlook the
Pacific Ocean, are filled with
colorful Ranunculus blooms.
Rows of these flowers carpet the
rolling hillside, creating a feast
for the eye and camera lens.
Located in the heart of Carlsbad, the Flower Fields are open
seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to
6 p.m. and are open to the public
until May 8. Prices for the Flower
Fields are $10 for adults, $9 for
seniors age 60, and above, $5 for
children ages three to 10 and children younger than two are free.
The Carlsbad Flower Fields
offer a variety of activities for
families, couples, and individuals. The strategically planted
American Flag of Flowers, which
sits in a 300 by 170 foot plot,
contains flowers that were planted to resemble an American flag.
The fields also annually set up a
unique sweet pea maze in which
visitors can navigate through a
fragrant and colorful maze of "old
fashioned" sweet pea blossoms.
If you are interested in celebrat-

ing Christmas during spring, the
Carlsbad Flower Fields also hosts
a 1,500 square foot poinsettia
greenhouse to display over 20 unusual and rare varieties of poinsettias. Visitors can also learn the history of the amazing holiday plant.
The fields also offer a few nonflower related activities including
the Carlsbad Mining Company,
where visitors can find and polish gem stones using an actual
miner's method. Santa's Playground, which was once part of
the Lake Arrowhead theme park
"Santa's Village," now has a
new home on the Flower Fields
and allows the public to enjoy
historic whimsical play houses
and giant colorful mushrooms.
According to their website,
theflowerfields.com, the Carlsbad Flower Fields' peak blooming period lasts from March
through May. Don't miss the opportunity to capture the beautiful
blossoms with a Canon photography workshop on April 17. The
Flower Fields also hosts music
festivals and craft fairs; check
out the "Special Events" page of
the website for more information.

With finals, term papers
and other writing woes lurking in the remaining weeks of
school, students may find they
need help putting pen to paper.
The" CSUSM Writing Center
is the perfect resource for students who need help editing, revising or brainstorming ideas.
Located on the bottom floor
of the Kellogg Library in room
1103, the Writing Center offers
free tutoring help from certified
consultants, many of which are
advanced Literature and Writing students at CSUSM. For ten
consecutive semesters, Writing
Center consultants have undergone training through the College
Reading and Learning Association (CRLA) in order to provide
students with the best writing
tutors on campus. Tutoring ses-

sions are available by appointment Monday - Thursday 9 a.m.
- 6 p.m., Friday 9 a.m. - noon,
and during walk-in hours Sundays at the UVA from 6 - 8 p.m.
The Writing Center's mission
is to "be a welcoming learning
environment where certified studentconsultants offer constructive guidance to all writers of all
levels at all stages of the writing
process" as seen on its website,
csusm.edu/writingcenter. Consultants help students work on
their pieces—whether it is a short
essay or Master's thesis—by
"reviewing the prompt, asking
guiding questions, and providing non-judgmental feedback."
By working one-on-one or in a
small group, students can gain
control of their written words
and succeed in their classes.
As the semester accelerates
into its final weeks, the Writing
Center'invites students to attend
workshops that will help ease

writing anxieties. These U-hour
workshops take place in the Writing Center from noon - 1p.m. on
Tuesdays. Today's workshop will
focus on "How to Write for Specific Audiences." The workshop
on April 12 will help with timed
writing assignments in a lesson
titled "Writing Under Pressure:
The In-Class Essay and Essay Exams ." April 19 will feature a work- shop designed to teach students
strategies for learning on their
own, titled "Be Your Own Tutor."
For additional information
about the Writing Center's resources for students as well as the
U-hour workshops, visit csusm.
edu/writingcenter. With a little
help, CSUSM students can excel
in all modes of writing from initial brainstorming to final proofreading. Friendly, knowledgeable
consultants are ready and waiting
to guide students on their way.

CONTRIBUTOR

At the Mangrum Track &amp; Field

MEN'S GOLF JUMPS I Invitational, Brian Clay didn't intend to blow the field out of the
TO #17
water, but the crowd believed he
would. Anthony Harbor wouldn't
have any of that. After all, he
intended to impress fellow athletes from his alma mater, too.
Clay, the reigning Olympic
gold medalist in the Decathlon,
and a graduate of Azusa Pacific
University, arrived with athletes
from the school on Saturday,
saying he "just needed to get a
meet in." Clay competed in the
discus throw, an event he holds
the decathlon record in, as well
as the 110-meter hurdles alongside- Anthony Harbor. Harbor,
who graduated from CSUSM last
year, ran stride for stride with
Clay, hurdling over the obstacles
in unison—but just far enough

Cal State San Marcos men'I
golf jumped up 6 spots in this
week's NAIA National Rankings, settling in at #17 after
debuting last week at #23 j
Coach Greg Hutton's Cougars, who were unranked in the
preseason, capped off a very
strong regular season with a
7th place finish out of 16 teams
at the Cal Baptist Spring Break
Intercollegiate in Primm, NV
on March 21-22. At that event,
CSUSM finished right in the
middle of a field loaded with
ranked teams, placing ahead of
numerous teams including Holy
Names University (#13) and the
University of Victoria (#21).
The Cougars* are preparing
to compete at the A .II. Conference Championships in Victoria, Texas starting Apr. 25.

behind to see Clay finish ahead
of him at 14.10 to his 14.24.
"It was the first three hurdles," Harbor said. "He was
way 'more explosive than I
was. He had a better center of
gravity. He's a great athlete."
London awaits Clay in 2012,
and with the summer games
in sight, the two-time medalist
(he won the silver in 2004) has
been training rigorously to regain his fitness after a devastating hamstring injury ended his
World Championship bid in 2009.
"[The 110-meter race] was
sloppy, but it's thefirstrace, so you
don't expect much more than that.
You can't expect too much. You've
just got to get your feet wet."
When sloppy running equals
first place at a competitive college
track meet, another Olympic gold
medal seems reasonable. Clay
didn't even win the discus throw,
which might be his best event,
placing second behind Azusa Pa-

cificfreshmanBeckwith Brad. But
Clay wasn't there to win, anyway.
"Hearing the gun for the first
time, getting in the [discus throwing] ring and not having a foul
for the first time...that kind of
stuff can kind of play with you a
little bit, so you just want to get
in there and deal with it mentally and emotionally," he said.
For those who were there to
win, there were plenty of opportunities. CSUSM sophomore Krystle Osby flew past the field to win
the 100-meter dash with a time of
12.23, with sophomore teammate
Aimee Rassavong finishing third.
The Cougar women dominated the
pole vault, with Calah Ayer, the
winner with a 3.19 meter jump,
followed by teammates Kelsey
Monticalvo, Meghan Freund
and Natalie Eisenberg gathering
a clean sweep of the 1-4 spots.
The one-mile invitational
run polished off the evening and
contained a field of only five

runners hand-picked for a close
race. CSUSM's Brett Campfield
went toe-to-toe with BSK Running Club's David Edwards before finishing less than a second
behind, with the crowd cheering wildly behind the athletes.
The day belonged to Clay,
though. Everyone on the premises knew it, and had they not
known he was there when they
arrived, they were soon informed of his presence over the
loudspeakers in the announcer's
emphatic voice. Clay brought a
small crowd to the discus throw,
a sight usually unseen at college
Track &amp; Field meets. When the
champion took his mark on the
hurdles track, the crowd buzzed
and flashbulbs exploded. For
Harbor, it meant an opportunity
to represent for the home crowd.
"This is my school," Harbor said, a gleam in his eye.
"You have to make it look
easy, even though it's not."

WOMEN'S GOLF
SHINES AT CSUMB
Playing their final "regular
season" round of the spring,
Coach Cindy Naval's CSUSM
women's golf squad went out
on a high note, shooting an outstanding 317 to finish 11th place
at the Lady Otter Invitational.
Hosted by CSU Monterey
Bay at Black Horse GC in Seaside, CA, the tournament featured a 22-team field loaded
with NCAA Division I and II
schools. CSUSM was just one
of three NAIA teams compet-=
ing, but shot rounds of 325 and
317 for a total of 642 to place
ahead of 11 NCAA teams. Nova
Southeastern won the event with
a team total of 597, with the host
school placing second at 614.
Linnel DeVilla continued
what has been a great spring
for her with an excellent round
of even par 73 on Tuesday.
Combined with Monday's 79,
DeVilla shot a 152 at the tournament, tying her for 11th place.

Recently ranked #4 by the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, the Cal State
San Marcos women's softball
team was ready to give it their
all and grab two wins*during a
double header vs. the 12th-ranked
Columbia College Cougars.
Shortstop, Shanti Poston,
made the first official big play
of the game by tagging the Columbia runner and closing out
the top of the 1st inning. At the
top of the 2nd, Columbia scored
3rd consecutive runs on one hit

due to a few small errors and a
wild throw to the catcher, placing the San Marcos Cougars
down by three early in the game,
By the beginning of the 3rd,
San Marcos began to find their
groove defensively by only allowing one hit for the remainder
of the
game. Midway through
the 3rd, pitcher Brenna Sandberg began, as head coach Dave
Williams said, "to shake the rust
off" after nearly 12 days without
playing a single game. Sandberg
ended the first game by striking
out 9 Columbia College batters.
As the remaining innings began to pass by, the fans, players,
and even coaches feared a loss,

At the bottom of the 7th and final inning, the CSUSM softball
team knew here would be its last
chance to shake things up and
get 3 runs to tie or 4 runs to win.
Derrisha Lacey stepped up to
the plate, hit the ball just out of
the reach of the third baseman,

and cutting the lead to 3-1. With
the winning run on base, Poston
smacked the ball to center earning a base hit. Due to Poston's
hit, the centerfielder dropped the
ball and allowed pinch runner
Brittney Guy to beat the throw
and allow CSUSM to come away

players, coaches and fans fuming
at the umpires over several missed

NINTENDO'S LATEST IN TECHNOLOGY: THE 3DS

A LOOK AT THE VIDEO GAME INDUSTRY'S NEWEST INNOVATION
C HRIS G IANCAMILLI
M EDIA M ANAGER

3D is now in the palm of your
hand, since Nintendo recently released their new 3DS handheld
gaming system. The 3DS features
3D without the need for any special glasses, as well as a number of upgrades to the system.
A new slider pad allows you
to control characters with an analog stick much like you would
on a home console. The system also features a new built-in
motion sensor and gyroscope,
giving gamers the ability to
manipulate the game through
tilting and shaking the 3DS.
The system has two screens,
much like its predecessor, the DS.
However, the top screen is an adjustable 3D screen and the bottom
is a touch screen. The 3D slider to
the right of the top screen allows
users to change the depth of the 3D.
The 3DS. comes packed with
11 applications. The camera app
takes 3D pictures with the system's dual cameras mounted on

the back of the device. The "Face
Raiders" app uses photos of people you've taken and places their
faces on in-game enemies. The
3DS also features a "Mii Maker"
app, so users can create avatars,
or "Miis," usable in games such
as "PilotWings Resort." Gamers
may also place the Miis in the
"StreetPass Mii Plaza," which
exchanges Mii data with other
3DS systems in the area. The
Nintendo eShop also returns, in a
future update, to allow gamers to
purchase classic Nintendo titles.
Currently, the 3DS has 16
games available for purchase including "Super Street Fighter IV,"
"Madden NFL 11," "PilotWings
Resort," "The Sims 3" and "Lego
Star Wars ID: The Clone Wars."
Nostalgic gamers can also expect the release of updated older
games over the next few months
such as "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," "Metal Gear Solid:
Snake Eater" and "Star Fox 64."
The Nintendo 3DS system currently costs $249.99,
with games priced at $39.99
at most electronics retailers.

According to Merriam-Webster's

With the term equity now defined, previous knowledge about

HAPPY H OUR O F T HE WEEKBACK ALLEY GRILL
ASHLEY DAY
A&amp;E E DITOR
The Back Alley Grill opened
its doors in August of2009 and has
since become a local place for students and the San Marcos public
to chill, eat a delicious burger and
drink some affordable alcohol.
The owner of this joint, J. Michael Marx, has been known to call
this place "a burger in paradise."
The grill is open Tuesday
- Saturday from 11:30 a.m. around 8:30 pjn., so it may not
exactly fulfill your dreams of a
weekend all-nighter, but it is a
great place to kick-start the night.
The grill is currently closed Sundays, but after Memorial Day,
they change to summer.hours.
Happy Hour pricing begins
when the restaurant opens and
stays inexpensive all day long.

The Back Alley Grill offers 15
different beers on tap. Domestic
beers start at $3, imports at $4.50
and house wines begin at $4.
The
restaurant
participates in $1 Street Taco Tuesdays, has 50 cent "Wing' In
It" Wednesdays and $1 off
pitchers on Thirsty Thursday.
The best part of the Back Alley Grill is the mouthwatering,
half pound cuts of fresh certified
angus beef burgers. The menu
contains burgers such as the
"Back Alley Burger" priced at a
