MSSIffihr California State University San Marcos, San Marcos, California | Tuesday, September 27, 2011 | Volume XXXVIII | Issüe 2 2011 CSUSM Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award recipient Lauren Holland overcomes tragedies to receive the CSU's highest honor CSUSM grad student Lauren Holland decided to channel her grief into action. Next June, the 47-year-old single mother from Ramona will graduate with a master's degree in Sociological Practice with an emphasis in pedestrian safety research . Her master thesis will focus on the statistics behind child pedestrian fatalities and how fam- ilies grieve, cope and make sense of a senseless tragedy. Last week / Holland was honored for her dedication and 3.88 GPA with the Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award, one of the highest forms of recognition for student achievement in the CSU system. The Hearst award is given to just one student at each CSU campus annually, recognizing merit, academic achievement and community service in the face of financial and personal hardships. "It's an honor to be selected with a handful of my peers to be a Hearst Scholar," Holland said, in a press release. "The award validates my hard work and encourages me by knowing that people are behind me and supporting me in achieving my goals." Holland was in the final months of her senior year at San Diego State when she got the news about her nephew's son, Zaeh Cruz, who was struck by a truck and killed in a suburban crosswalk after getting off a school bus in Berkeley on Feb. 2 7,2009. Holland finished her Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology with cum laude honors, and threw herself into advocating for pedestrian safety through the Zachary Michael Cruz Foundation, established by Zach's parents, Frank and Jodie Cruz. She hopes that she can use her master's degree to lobby for pedestrian safety issues at the regional and national levels. "I want to be an even stronger voice advocating for pedestrian safety education, enforcement and engineering," she said, explaining that each year more than 1,000 pedestrians lose their lives in preventable accidents. "I know I can make a difference and the Hearst Award further reminds me to continue to push forward and give my very best." Holland's own life has been touched by tragedy as well. She worked a series of low-wage jobs while raising two children on her own. Then several years ago, she was working on a construction project near SDSU when an accident at the jobsite left her with a disabling back injury. Although it had been more than two decades since she'd been in a classroom, Holland knew she'd need to get an education to land a well-paying desk job, so she went back to school at San Diego State. She graduated in 2010. She's also volunteered her time with the March of Dimes, Head Start, Zonta International, the U.N. Association of San Diego and a local sobering facility, among other organizations. Holland is one of 23 CSU students to receive the Hearst Award this fall. She received a $3,000 scholarship and a Sony technology package (including a notebook computer and camera). Campus Calendar TUESDAY, SEPT. 27: -Polynesian •S.D.

Adams, age 28, has been a professional in Flatland BMX since he was 16 years old and has competed in tournaments all over the world, winj ning a Gold Medal in the ¡ 2005 X Games and also scoring Ride BMX Magazine's Number One Ride Award in 2005 and 2008. "I wanted to be a professional," Adams said. When asked about what got him into Flatland, Adams continued, "When I looked it up, it looked more artsy. It was different." Flatland is a freestyle BMX riding style performed on smooth, flat surfaces that do not include any ramps, jumps or grind rails. By some, it is called "artistic cycling" and can even be related to break dancing, according to Mick Ross of In Air on Ground Freestyle BMX. Adams grew up in Louisiana and was homeschooled. He graduated at the age of 15 and then attended Louisiana State University for one semester before he decided he wanted to focus on his BMX career instead. Red Bull sponsored Adams since 2003. He has been touring the United States these past few weeks doing demos at 50 differ- ent colleges. "It is very chill, spreading awareness about what I do. It is a cool opportunity from Red BuU," Adams said. He continued, "Students here are in a good mood. They are a little more stoked," when asked about how it was performing here at CSUSM. . The big Red Bull truck, called the Red Bull MXT, came out and opened up its speakers, blasting party music throughout Library Plaza. Students gathered as Adams showed off some of his cool moves, including his own trick, Katrina, that he named after the 2005 hurricane Katrina. Students were handed "spirit" towels to twirl around which added to the festivity of the hour. With the crowds cheering, Adams continued to entertain the students by balancing, spinning and hopping with his bike. On a break, Red Bull handed out two free T- * shirts to the first two people that showed up to the Red Bull MXT. "One of the lucky winners was Dylan Baquero who started to "shuffle" in the center of the plaza after winning his T-shirt. "I won a t-shirt! And it's cool spirit," Baquero said when asked what drove him to dance. Throughout the demo, Red Bull's Wiiings Team girls gave out free Red Bulls to the students. "This is the coolest back-toschool event we've been to," Gina Lucas said, one of the Wiiings team girls. Students also responded to the event with enthusiasm. "It was a great experience. It shows the diversity of the campus," ASI VP of Marketing, Ken LaLonde, said. If you would like to know more about Terry Adams, go to his website: www.terryadams.com. Photos by Ashley Aronson and Morgan Hall Riding athe mwaves CSUSM Surf Team ttracts any for tryouts Morgan Hall Pride Staff Writer . CSUSM surf team tiyouts occurred Sunday, Sept. 18. Calm water and bad waves added pressure to student surfers interested in joining the fall 2011 - spring 2012 team. "It is a little nerve racking because the waves aren't too good today," senior Tyler Noonan said. "You're lucky just to catch a few good waves," he added. Noonan, who surfed for his high school team and was trying out for the first time, said that he looks "forward to being able to get back into surf competitions and meet new surfers this season." This year, the Cal State San Marcos Surf Team tryouts gave each surfer three 15-minute heats to catch as many waves as he or she could with only the two highest scoring waves counting toward the overall score. "We're looking for length, turns and connecting rides and, of course, the more you do the more points you will get," team captain, Ashley Aronson said. Dave Kincannon, who was on the inaugural team back in 2001, tinue to surf and come to tryouts but had to leave CSUSM to work, again next year " said, "The way tryouts are set up Being a part of the CSUSM surf this year is a lot fairer than the team allows students to do somefirst time I tried out.

The women remarkably swept the top-five collegiate spots to win the 5K Open, while the men placed third in a stacked field in the 8K Invitational. Running against a field that featured NCAA schools like San Jose State and Cal State Los Angeles, the two-time defending NAIA National Champion and #2-ranked CSUSM women's team dominated the 5K on Saturday, Sept. 17: Suzanne Cornwell won the race outright with an outstanding time of 17:11 - the second fastest in CSUSM crosscountry history. After four unattached (noncollegiate) runners crossed the finish line, including CSUSM alums Whitney Patton and Jennifer Albright, the next collegiate finisher to cross the line was Carol Schryver. A 2010 All-American, Schryver ran 17:44 to place seventh overall and second in the collegiate competition. Two more Cougars were right behind her as Chelsey Cortez continued her strong start to the season by placing eighth at 17:47, and two-time All-American Cady Villarreal taking ninth at 17:48. One spot later, Kelly Thompson finished in eleventh place at 18:02, giving the Cougars a sweep of the top-five collegiate spots. Leading the remaining competitors for CSUSM were Heidi Swanson (14th, 18:09), Cassidy Reich (20th, 18:17), and Aubriele Rowe (28th, 18:30). On the men's side, the Cougars posted a strong third-place finish, only finishing behind Southern Utah and host schooi UC Riverside and finishing in front of NAIA competitors Cal Baptist and Master's College in the 25team field. So far this season, Danny Lyon and 2010 Ail-American Western Nelson have established themselves as the two top runners for the Cougars and that held true on Saturday, Sept. 17. Nelson placed eighth in the field of nearly 250 runners, coming within 2 seconds of breaking the school record for the 8K with a time of 24:16. Right behind him was Lyon, who took ninth with a time of 24:19. Nelson and Lyon are both All-American threats, and having two runners of that class is a major reason why Coach Steve Scott's #7-ranked men's crosscountry team is in the hunt for its first National Championship. Of course, to win a national title lililP it takes depth and CSUSM will be looking to build that throughout the 2011 season. On Sept. 17, Ismael Rodriguez placed 43rd at 25:20, Ryan Jensen took 48th at 25:22 and Armando Lara rounded out the team's top-five by placing 58th at 25:29, all finishing within 10 seconds of one another to help the team to its third place finish. Leading the remaining Cougars were Easton Tackett (72nd; 25:36) and Lenny Santana (75th; 25:37). CSUSM cross-country will be back in action in two weeks at the Pomona Pitzer Invitational. Raising money for CSUSM athletics Kyle Trembley Contributor San Diego Padres Hall of Fame pitcher Randy Jones will be playing in the fourth annual CSUSM Cougar Scramble Golf Tournament and registration for the limited spots remaining in the field is now open to the public. Hosted by Cal State San Marcos Athletics and the CSUSM Alumni Association, the Cougar Scramble will be played on Tuesday, Nov. 8, at beautiful ^Crosby Golf Course in Rancho Santa Fe. All proceeds from the event will go towards student-athlete scholarships and Alumni Association endowed scholarships. "This is the second year that we will hold the tournament at The Crosby, which is an unbelievable course and the reason we sold out last year," said CSUSM Athletic Director Tom Seitz.

ILL is a service available to students for obtaining different forms of research for course related projects. "Interlibrary Loan staff search and order requested materials from a worldwide database. Material requested through ILL typically arrive at the Library within one to two weeks. You are notified via your CSUSM email account when the material arrives, books are held for pickup and articles are delivered to you electronically," Teri Roudenbush of Library Resource Services said. Also, materials from ILL are never delivered to your home but rather held at the circulation desk on the third floor of the Kellogg Library.

All of us CSUSM students could use at least an hour of happiness, and Players Sports Bar delivers all the way, including TVs over the urinals. I spent this week's Happy Hour at Players off Twin Oaks Valley Rd. across from campus, which is open from 10 a.m. - 2 a.m. and has Happy Hour from 2 - 7 p.m. Monday - Friday. For all you local or new students, this is a great place to meet fellow students because it is close to campus and supports a young scene. If you have any love for Padres or Red Sox, this place will sympathize with you. The Happy Hour deals included $1 off wine, beer and wells; you will also get $2 off appetizers including their delicious, picante chips and salsa. Enjoy the tasty potato wedges while watching a late season baseball game on one of their 21 large TVs. Another commendable part of Players was the beer list that included local breweries like Lost Abbey, Ballast Point and Green Flash as well as foreign and domes-tic brews. Indulge in craft beers like Lost Abbey's Red Barn Ale and Rogue's Hazelnut Brown for $2.75 each while gawking at the 100 oz. "tubes" of domestic beer at the next table. The beer happy hour prices ranged from $2.75 $9 for 16 oz. For those transplant students from the northeast, Players' beer includes Magic Hat #9V the famous craft beer of that area. If you are free on a Wednesday, head over to "Kick the Keg" to enjoy that week's domestic beer keg at $2 - $4 a pint from 2 p.m. until the keg is empty. Other enjoyment for family, 18+, and 21+ included the two pool tables and outdoor seating withfireplaces and sporty atmosphere. Players is a great place to meet new friends from CSUSM, take someone on a date or relax after a long day of classes.

On my only visit here, the inside of the restaurant was clean, the staff polite and attentive and the menu selection good. I ordered the meal that is standard fare when trying a new place, the nachos with carnitas. Although the presentation was nice, along with freshly shredded jack and cheddar cheese on top, the portion size was skimpy at best with about half the size of other taco shops yet at the same price. The worst was hidden underneath— a liquid cheese substance of the 7-11 nacho variety, and it tasted as bad as it looked. Perhaps other menu items provide a more satisfying eating experience and better value, but alas, I will likely never find out.

Based on the limited school spirit and developing athletic department, one can't really expect to enjoy any sort of traditional homecoming events. Enter King and Queen elections . Yes. You get to witness the first Cal State San Marcos Homecoming King and Queen receive his and her crowns at the homecoming jsoccer game at noon on Oct. 1. On Thursday, Sept. 29, the top three candidates based on the results of an electronic ballot (currently live through today at csusm.edu/homecoming) will be announced at 12:30 p m. during CougarFest according to campus announcements. Each student is allowed one vote, so choose your top three candidates wisely. The student body nominated eight candidates for king and 11 for queen; students can read about the candidates' reasons for running in short statements posted on the ballot. The ballot interestingly makes a distinct separation between king and queen, perhaps because there are candidates of both genders running for both positions. Jennifer Meneray and Arthur Silverstein are running for king and queen, respectively. Notice that I did indeed get my order of words correct: we have a female running for king and a male running for queen. When I first discovered this nontraditional homecoming ballot, the first thought to enter my mind was something to the effect of, "Why haven't I heard of this yet?" "I could not care less," senior Amanda Puckett said. "I'm happy they have free time," Puckett continued, saying that homecoming is more of a distraction than anything. Puckett's statement bears validity with me, especially considering her choice word of "apathetic" when describing her feelings about homecoming in general. "[Meneray and Silverstein] want people to question gender identity. They want voters to question why a king is a king and a queen is a queen," Puckett said. "Homecoming Kings are often looked at as people who take charge of things, who are leaders, who challenge injustice and encourage understanding of different identities," Meneray said in her campaign statement, leading readers to believe that she is in the business of redefining who can fit that role. "I did not nominate myself for homecoming court," Meneray said in an email interview with me. The person who nominated Meneray only nominated her to run, but not for king or queen specifically. "To be honest and true to my personal identity and to support one of the communities I am part of, I knew that I had to run for king." I wondered why Meneray felt she could not be as effective of a leader if crowned as a queen. She responded, "Queen just doesn't feelrightto me, and I would hate to try and take on that label without identifying with it." The Pride asked Silverstein the same questions as Meneray, but he did not offer comment. "I work with [Silverstein], the guy running for queen," Brandon Torres said, junior and Psychology and Sociology major. "Arthur is more tongue-in-cheek about it—more on the comical side, like he's saying, 'Yeah, I'll be queen' "I think [Meneray's] reasons for running are more political," Torres continued. "On campus I am very active in a variety of organizations that support social justice," Meneray said in an interview. She is the president of the Women's Studies Student Association and is a certified Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence advocate for the Women's Resource Center in Oceanside. Meneray continued to clarify her reasons for running as Homecoming King: "Does it have to do with the politics of the labels and how exclusive the labels are? Yes, it has a lot to do with the labels and how they normally distributed." Although Meneray has not run for homecoming court at any other institution, she did attend high school prom with her samesex partner. Although she said she has not experienced any negativity from CSUSM thus far about her choice to run as king, she did feel some resistance to expressing her lifestyle in high school. "People said we made a great couple, but our yearbook editors would not publish our prom picture in my yearbook since we were both women." Students on campus responded positively to the news of Silver- stein's and Meneray's choices to run as queen and king. "I think times are changing. People are more accepting and I'm really happy about that," sophomore and Kinesiology major Joanne Cayabyab said. "I think it's great," Julio Zuniga, History and Political Science major, said. "We passed a barrier—broke down a wall." After talking with several students, I've come to conclude that while no one really cares about homecoming on this campus, people are happy that the university will allow students to express different lifestyles through the homecoming celebration. I can't say that this means our university is more accepting than other universities; from my years on this campus, I've come to determine that CSUSM is a conservative institution that is quite concerned with maintaining a certain image. But, I won't go there today. It would appear that "not caring" is one of the first steps toward progress. Acceptance seems to create a positive blindness to social change—sort of that, "Oh, I didn't notice" effect. When I asked Torres why he thought people didn't seem to react much to the news of Silverstein and Meneray, he responded quite appropriately: "Why should you?"

Johnson Pride Staff Writer Investing in "Moneyball" It's almost prophetic that a film about one of the poorest franchises in Major League Baseball will likely be one of the most underappreciated sports films of all-time. It's a shame, too. Billy Beane (Brad Pitt), the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, sets out to compile a successful baseball roster with the help of Peter Brand (Jonah Mill) and an incredibly modest budget. With, the entire MLB against them, Beane and Brand set out to prove that it's possible to create a winning team with comparatively little money. Moneyball" is a baseball movie with an asterisk: it features very little field action of the game. In fact, it isn't until the last half hour of the movie until we're placed on the field with the players during a game, but with good reason. With Beane's distance he keeps between himself and the game, it makes sense that viewers wouldn't witness anyfield-actionuntil Beane puts himself near the field. Instead of your conventional baseball film, what "Moneyball" offers is a behind-the-scenes look at the mechanics of what goes into developing a baseball roster and a successful franchise. Pitt delivers a realistic portrayal of a man who missed his own major league victory and wants to give it to those deserving of it. Hill is warm as the driven assistant who somehow ended up working in baseball despite his educational background. Also, look out for Kerris Dorsey as Beane's concerned daughter, who rather impressively performs a cover of Lenka's "The Show" as a way to reach out to her dad. -Moneyball" offers a true story about the heart and determination that must go into success and the compromises needed to reach life's little victories.

With movie trailers and posters for "Killer Elite" marketing it as "based on a true story," one may think that this be Jason Statham's return to action films with substance. However, upon viewing the film, aüdience members may ask how much of this is true, with some scenes leaving you consumed in disbelief and awe. Danny (Statham) is a retired special-operations agent who returns to his old lifestyle in order to save his partner, Hunter (Robert De Niro), who is being held captive. Hunter's captor is a man who has lost three sons in war and wants justice from his sons' killers to be carried out by Danny. He must obtain the soldiers' confessions and make their deaths look like accidents. While carrying out his mission, Danny is then confronted by Spike (Clive Owen), who intends to put a stop to these killings due to his attachment and association with the targets. The actors are all very entertaining to watch. Statham, playing a layered-version of his usual self, is determined to prove that what we do does not define us. De Niro is fun as the wisecrack ing mentor, leaving us wishing for more screen-time. Owen plays a strong roadblock in Statham's path. The action sequences, while immensely exciting, are sporadic. We are often left with many (in comparison) slower sequences. These sequences, however, are necessary to the plot and en tertaining in execution. One such scene involves the developing of a mallet that matches the tiles of one target's shower, in order to make his death seem like an accident. The dialogue is cheesy with the formulaic, bad (but fun), popcorn-flick one-liners be ing spouted regularly. A notable catch phrase worthy line in volves a character shouting, "BI-N-G-(expletive)-0!" If you're looking for a cat-andmouse action/thriller with refreshing and perhaps ridiculously, complex action sequences, see "Killer Elite." As1 Hakuna m atata Reliving a c hildhood almost f orgotten Melissa Martinez Pride Staff Writer Do you remember picking up your dog and singing mcomprehensively at the top of your lungs while you held your poor pup in the air? This signature stance derives from none other than Disney's 32nd classic film, 'The Lion King," that made its (iebut into the world and our hearts in 1994. The critically acclaimed animated classic was tremendously successful in the box offices and was quite popular, winning three Golden Globes for Best Original Score for a Motion Picture, Best Original Song for a Motion Picture and Best Motion Picture in Comedy/Musical as well as two SCfoOQi* Oscars for Best Musical Score and Original Song. With the "The Lion King" in theaters this September, 90s kids as well as children everywhere were given the opportunity to relive their childhood and experience the tragic but musically genius adventure in a way no one has ever experienced before: in 3D. A friend and I went to the opening weekend and we weren't able to contain our joy as soon as "Circle of Life" started playing. We, along with many 5-year-olds and their stressed out parents, watched in awe as Mufasa and Simba came to life right before our very eyes. Though I have seen this movie countless times, the experience of watching it restored and three-dimensional was something I never thought I would be able to witness. Colors and scenes danced out right in front of me, and the elimination of the unpopular song addition titled "Morning Report" to the DVD version was delightful. Watching Mufasa's infinite wisdom, Scar's evil antics and the silliness of Timon and Pumba brought back memories of a childhood when my biggest concern was me falling asleep before Rafiki got Simba back to Pride Rock in time before the hyenas took over—a time before school, work and adult responsibilities consumed my life. Though the viewing is limited, the experience of reliving my childhood was irreplaceable.
