According to the Susan G. Komen website, wwwJcoipen. org, breast cancer does not discriminate by age or ethnicity. All women (and even some men) are susceptible to the disease, and over 200,000 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. Apart from skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women but is also the most successfully treated. Regular mammogram screenings, MRIs, and ¿linical breast exams are imperative to the detection and treatment of breast cancer. The key to success comes with prevention through early detection. ^The earlier the detection of breast cancer, the more treatable the disease becomes.

CSUSM President Karen S , Haynes, Ph.D., said in her Oct. 18 Budget Update memo to the campus community, "The California economy continues to present challenges. Midyear budget cuts and a difficult budget year in 2011-12 are a real possibility." CSUSM's budget remains under review as officials await information provided by the Chancellor's Office. President Haynes plans to release additional information or possibly hold a budget forum when the details of the 2010-11 budget plans are more complete. A STATEMENT OF CLARIFICATION In the last Police Beat, a person was wrongfully identified as a "UVA [University Village Apartments] employee" when in fact the person in question was a full-time CSUSM employee, according to confirmation from Human Resources. At the time of the incident, the person was a CSUSM employee. A UPD contact confirmed for The Pride that University Police never identified the person had any affiliation with the UVA.

Another program provides students with someone to turn to when needing to report a crime. The University Crime Stoppers Program (http://www. csusm .edu/police/crimestoppers. html) works with the San Diego County Crime Stoppers in giving students the ability to anonymously tip with a single tollfree phone call (888-580-8477). With various sources available, students are even more capable of preventing theft and other crimes on campus and within the community. These tips are just a few of the many things that students can follow on and off campus, in order to bring down the crime statistics and bring those responsible to justice.

Government urges vaccination for seasonal flu SHCS offers flu shots for students and faculty/staff 2009 H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season." The CDC warns against vaccination for those who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, people who are currently sick with a moderate to severe illness with fever, or those recently diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. In years past, the CDC recommended two different shots for a patient to develop full immunity to seasonal flu viruses. This year, most patients require only one dose of this full-spectrum vaccination. However, the CDC recommends that children aged six months to eight years, who have never received a flu vaccination, get two doses of the flu vaccine spaced four or more weeks apart. People with the highest risk for seasonal flu infection include pregnant women, people with compromised immune systems, and anyone with long-term health problems. Although it is not possible to get the flu from a flu shot, there is a slight risk of mild complications after receiving the vaccination. These complications include, but are not limited to, low-grade fever, soreness or redness at the injection site, and body aches, according to CVS phar- macies. Side effects usually last no longer than one to two days. To avoid possible side effects associated with vaccinations, select CVS pharmacies offer a nasal spray called FluMist for individuals between two and 49 with no health problems. The CVS pharmacy across from campus also offers flu vaccinations, but does not offer FluMist. The next dates for vaccinations are Oct. 29 from 1 to 3 p.m. and Nov. 5 from 1 to 3 p.m. The pharmacy does not require an appointment.

SELLING CLASS NOTESCONSIDERED GROUNDS FOR EXPULSION BY SANDRA CHALMERS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Think your essays and past class notes are worth more than just a letter grade? Think not. Selling class notes, past tests, or even essays breaks the student code of conduct that can lead to expulsion from the university and the entire CSU system. A recent press release from Bridget Blanshan, the Dean of students here at CSUSM, discussed that CSU students had participated in selling class notes to a third party site for money. According to the press release, this is prohibited under student code of conduct section 41301 of title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. The penalty includes expulsion. "Unauthorized recording, dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose." Students may think selling lecture notes seems to be a practical way of getting some extra cash for academic efforts, but if caught, the penalty can cost them their entire education. "If a student took time to study and is willing to sell their class notes, it is their prerogative. It becomes an issue on personal integrity and it shouldn't be the school's responsibility to intervene," said Kristen Collins, a senior majoring in Biology and Political Science. Expulsion is a permanent separation of the student from CSU student status from the California State Uni- versity system, as stated by Chancellor Reed in his 2009 Memorandum of student conduct procedures. Countless businesses try to entice students to give up their academic integrity by advertising to sell course material on a share system of helping other students through stresses of college. "I can see how it becomes a controversial issue, if a student is responsible and goes to class everyday and takes his/her own notes versus a slacker that can just buys the notes from someone else, its not fair," continued Collins. Sharenotes.com states on their website that their environment allows students to share, download, or buy notes, study guides, written reports and other course material for all subjects from over 100 colleges. "Working at the bookstore, I notice all the new textbooks and how much each semester the class materials change. It must be hard to sell class notes that keep up with the changes," said Collins. The student conduct case generated by the Associate Vice President and the Dean of Students for 2008-09 indicates that there were 113 incidents reports of academic misconduct referred by faculty. Though the nature of all these incidents are not explicitly detailed, three resulted in suspension and 51 resulted in academic probation. These incidents show a 79 percent increase from 2006-07 to 2008-09. trip. You get a great experience, make new friends, and visit new places while helping others." This year's trip to Washington D.C. will allow students to "get a chance to work with a great organization like Habitat for Humanity and help build new homes for those in need," said Gallegos. "Along with working during the days at our home sites, we provide opportunities for the students to attend different activities at night to see what there is to see. Even though it is a week of service, it still is Spring Break, so we still want to have fun." CSUSM is just one of the many universities nationwide that takes part in this service program, as it provides. students more options considering what to do for their school breaks. Organizations like Habitat for Humanity have also benefitedfromsuch generous outpouring of support from students who have all contributed in making a difference. Megan Carlier said, "It is such a humbling and fun experience, and it makes you realize how truly lucky you are; that is something we all seem to forget now and then."

T : MKW : BY MICHAEL RAWSON PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Sampus resourcesfin CSUSM shootings afety o the wake of school Reviewing c BY FAITH ORCINO PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Oct. 8, shots were fired at Kelly Elementary School in Carlsbad. Many of the young students were on the playground during the shooting, but only two were injured. Local construction worker Carlos Partida stopped the gunman, Brendan O'Rourke, with his truck. Steven Kane, a co-worker of Partida, helped Partida restrain the gunman until the police arrived. After a mental evaluation, O'Rourke was booked into jail on several charges including two counts of attempted murder and having a firearm in a public school. A judge from the Vista Court later arraigned him on Oct. 13. In a country where people have therightto ownfirearmwith a proper license, there are reports of criminal accidents concerning people firing or simply carrying guns every month. In September, the Automated Regional Justice Information System (AJIS) recorded 38 armed robberies, which is a decrease compared to 103 reported in August 2010. Fortunately, no one died at Kelly El- ementary, but it was not the same situation in other school shootings. Since the Columbine shootings in 1993, schools have updated their security staff and systems. Some have local police close by and even have several security guards on campus. School faculty and staff do their best to prepare themselves and their students for all possibilities. Teachers train the students on the appropriate actions during earthquakes, fires, and any other dangerous situations. That's the situation in most elementary and high schools, but what do you do in the independent world of college? For some, it has been years since they last reviewed the steps of a school lock-down. Luckily, California State University San Marcos has several resources for everyone in the campus about awareness and procedures. The campus police offer the Active Shooter Preparedness Presentation. This lecture informs students on how to report a person with a live firearm and find safety. Some GEL classes have the presentation, but for the students outside of the class, they can simply go to the CSUSM website and head over the University Police Video Series page to watch the "Shots Fired Video." If you do see any crimes, simply call 911 or the campus police at (760)750-4567. Especially right now, with the mountain lion warning, UPD is a good number to have programmed into your cellular phone. CSUSM updates the campus alert system once information is given about events. The school also has a program called Cougar Watch where anyone can call the police about suspicious activities. Members of campus police are also available to escort you from anywhere on campus to your vehicle or resident hall, between the hours of dusk and dawn, if you ever feel unsafe. According to the CSUSM University Police mission statement, their job is "to protect our campus community above all else." Even though classes may be hectic, rest assured student and faculty safety is guaranteed.

To learn more about the propositions and the groups that support and oppose them, visit h ttp://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/. Proposition 19: Legalizes marijuana under California but not Federal law. Permits local governments to regulate and tax commercial production, distribution, and sale of marijuana. Prop 19 seeks to legalize marijuana within the state of California. It would allow people 21 years of age or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Marijuana would remain illegal if the person possessing the substance was on school grounds, smoking in public, or in the presence of minors.

Those who oppose Prop 19, including MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), explain that the prop could endanger public safety and cut federal funding to schools. Those opposed include California Taxpayers Association. Proposition 26 would issue a requirement to have two-thirds vote in order to raise fees, this includes certain taxes which may or may not result in a revenue. These fees differ from taxes as they are used only to aid in government services. Advocates suggest that these fees need to use the same regulatory guidelines as taxes, which include a twothirds vote. Prop 26 is estimated to decrease state budget by having such rigorous requirements to support new revenues fees.

This commemoration, the Iraq and Afghanistan Memorial to Life, will be held on campus October 2528, and will be sponsored by the Human Development Club, as well as a co-curricular grant from the USUAB fund, the Cross Cultural Center, Student Life and Leadership and the Women's Studies Department. There will be a memorial displayed across campus designed to acquaint students with the high number of deaths that took place in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the event organizers.

Either way, pumpkin carving is a simple and fun way to put your creativity on display for the Halloween season. The practice of pumpkin carving is a tradition that spans the length of centuries, though its association with Halloween is a little more recent. People used to carve and light objects like gourds in order to welcome the spirits of loved ones while also using the lit creations to keep out unfriendly spirits. This once specific activity has expanded to many places and fallen under quite different intentions nowadays. Needless to say, pumpkin carving may just be the one Halloween pastime that can be enjoyed at any age, in any way. It can also be a complicated process, depending on the complexity of the design you attempt to carve. As with most art projects, the possible ideas and designs are endless, so the basics are a good place to start. The tools used to carve pumpkins can consist of everyday kitchenware and tools found in the garage. Large,knives are helpful to remove the pumpkin stem and large spoons will make removing the pumpkin's innards easy and quick. Pencils and markers can be used to layout your design before you start to carve. Check out Google for sites that have downloadable stencils to get you started. As for the design details, it all depends mostly on what you want for the pumpkin. Here are some tips to begin the baSic pumpkin carving process: 1. Cut around the stem of the pumpkin, carving in a slanted position to keep the lid from falling in. 2. Next, scoop out the pumpkin's insides (to make it extra clean, use the scooping spoon to remove any extra pumpkin seeds and scraps off the inside walls). 3. After figuring out the side you want to place the design on, sketch out the design with a pencil or pen. Carve out the shapes with a knife, then push the pieces out. 4. When lighting your pumpkin, use a candleholder, place it carefully inside, and watch your jack-o'-lantern glow! For more information on the carving process, check http:// www.pumpkincarving 101 .com. Creative stencils can be found at sites like DLTK's Crafts for Kids (http://www.dltk-holidays. com/hallo ween/mpatterns .htm). Now that you have the basic steps down, the rest is up to individual creativity. Remember that pumpkins will not last forever and will dehydrate and rot, so take pictures right away to document your creations. If you intend on extending your pumpkin's preservation there are many methods to keep it from rotting. The PumpkinFresh spray-on preserver is one cheap option for postponing the inevitable a little longer (http:// www.pumpkinfresh.com/).

"I wanted to give back; I ended up falling in love with the profession. It's a fun job for sure." From there, things began to fall into place. "Jobs just started coming to me, and it worked out nicely," Gustin muses matter-of-factly. Assistant positions at the College of Charleston and Cal Poly led to her most recent title of assistant coach at the University of Indiana. She has also traveled as a coach to Croatia, leading an American squad in a global challenge, and in 2006 served as the assistant coach for the USA Junior National A2 team. Regardless of the exotic and faraway places in which she has coached, Gustin is impressed Some people never in* tended to become parents. Some people never intended to become volleyball coaches. It just happens. After nearly four perfect years playing Volleyball for Michigan State University, in which she made the all Big-Ten Conference team three times, Sarah Gustin suffered what would be a careerending injury. She moved back to Southern California in 2000 and signed ojx to be an assistant coach at Vista High School/Less than 10 years later, she has been hired to initiate the women's volleyball program here at CSUSM. "I really felt a strong con- lowest level of collegiate athletics, it's really just a separate entity, and Gustin says playing in the association will be far from easy. "It'll be tough that first year. [NAIA teams are] equivalent to the Division II teams we're going to be playing in 2012. A lot of them could beat Division I teams." Still, she is clearly excited about the year ahead of her. The keys to everything have been handed over by the school, including scheduling games, administrative duties, and even designing of the uniforms (the team recently signed with Adidas), which she promises will be "something cool." Gustin is ready for the challenge here, and she has an idea of what it will be like. with what CSUSM has to offer. "I love it [here]. It's an easy place to sell for recruiting. It's a great place to work." Speaking of recruiting, consider Gustin the resident expert in San Marcos. She also spent her time at Indiana as the recruiting specialist. Her recruiting here will mostly be done locally, an area that she says is "so rich in talent." But she may bring in recruits who have contacted her from as far as Oregon and Arizona because "everyone wants to live in Southern California." Like the other sports programs, Gustin's Volleyball team will spend the 2011-12 season as an NAIA independent. Though the NAIA is often thought of as the "I have a very close Mend who started a [NCAA Division II] program four years ago. I re¿nember when he took the job I said, 'you're crazy, why would you want to start a program from scratch?' And then I didn't think about it until I took the job, but he called me and said, 'Hey, crazy.' He's been a great confidant to bounce ideas off of." Likewise, with Gustin on the sideline, expect Volleyball games to bounce the Cougars' way in 2011. Women's soccer celebrates Homecoming with 3 -2 win over Embry-Riddle BY KYLE TREMBLEY Playing in front of a large crowd of alumni and fans on homecoming day, #13-ranked Cougar women's soccer defeated conference rival Embry-Riddle 2-0 atMangrumFieldon Saturday. CSUSM improves to 9-1-5 on the year. Embry-Riddle drops to 6-9-1. It was a big contest between two conference rivals, and while the Cougars weren't at their best, they were good enough to win. CSUSM out-shot Embry-Riddle 18-6, and held a 10-0 corner kicks advantage. The Eagles' defense saved three balls off the back line, keeping the contest close. But the Cougars did manage to get a pair of shots past, both in the first half. In the 19th minute, Shelby Bush was taken down in the box and CSUSM was awarded a penalty kick. Taylor Ziencina calmly finished the opportunity to put the Cougars up 1-0. Less than 10 minutes later, Rachel Schulte found Lauren Johnson making a run down the center of the field. Getting between defenders, Johnson loaded up and blasted a shot from about 20 yards out that rocketed past the keeper and into the back of the net. The goal is Johnson's 10th of the season, giving her sole possession of the CSUSM Women's Soccer Ail-Time single-season scoring crown. "It feels great," said Johnson after the game. "All the hard work is finally paying off."

Based off the novel Paprika by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the movie travels between the world of dreams and reality. In the film, Dr. Atsuko Chiba and her staff experiment with a machine called the DC Mini. Using the DC Mini, Chiba—also known as Paprika—and her patients enter their dreams. One day, the DC Mini machine goes berserk and the dream world begins to come to life. It is up to Paprika to find the reason why the experiment failed in order to stop the mayhem before the dream world engulfs the real world. PHOTOS COURTESY OF AMAZON.COM pride picks HALLOWEEN'S l EST H MO FUCUS O tk Karas (2005) Tatsunoko Production made the original video animation (OVA) "Karas" in celebration of the company's 40th anniversary. The film concentrates on a supernatural community living under the radar in the midst of human society in modern day Shinjuku, Tokyo. When the Shinjuku police department receives several cases of mysterious deaths throughout the city, they are unaware of the local demons responsible for the murders. As the tension between the two realms increase, character Yurine awakens the new guardian Karas. Karas must now restore balance between natural and supernatural, while protecting his own life. "Karas" is a masterful piece of film work with an interesting blend of 2D anime and*3D computer-generated images. The character Karas can also be found in the Wii game "Capcom VS: Tatsunoko." Let the Right One In (2008) The second best thing from Sweden after Ikea, is John Ajvide Lindqvist's vampire horror-romance, "Let the Right One In." Released internationally in 2008, the film, directed by Tomas Alfredson, follows 12 year-old Oskar, a loner, tortured at school by a band of bullies, and Eli, his neighbor, also 12 (in vampire years)* who Oskar discovers is a vampire, responsible for the grisly murders happening in their Stockholm suburb. The pair form an alliance based on Oskar's vow of secrecy in exchange for Eli's protection from his tormentors at school. Thefilmadheres to traditional vampire folklore but injects it with an unsettling darkness, broaching themes of death, disfiguration, pedophilia, and violence. A metaphoric iceberg, it takes more than one viewing to even begin understanding the psychological weight of this story. The subtitles make the film a literary experience, and although the premise outlines a budding romance between human and vampire, the film transmits an intensity that "Twilight" lovers Bella and Edward will never touch. An American remake - "Let Me In" - is set to be released later this year. «KM AUDITION The Blair Witch (1999) The premise of the film may be simple: three film students attempt to uncoyer .the secrets and truths about the legend of the Blair Witch only to go missing and never seen again, save for the discovered film footage of their camera. But the execution of this film is where it exceeds clichés and expectations. The terror that students Heather, Michael, and Josh experience in the Black Hills Forest of Maryland are drawn out in hand-held style, dark, quiet and realistic, leaving the fear up to the viewer's imagination. The Blair Witch Project is a film that still chills viewers eleven years after its release, and it is a great film to revisit in time for this coming Halloween. hot off t he reel Audition (1999) Based on Ryu Murakami's novel of the same name, "Audition" was directed by Takashi Miike in 1999 and is one of the most multilayered and prolific horror films made. This Japanese film is incredibly different from the constant blood and gore that Hollywood produces. Without relying on graphic violence, "Audition" takes its time to slowly build up tension, twisting the story in directions you never thought it would take. While the film is visually mild in comparison to most slasher films; it's the concepts presented that will haunt you well into the night, with visuals burned into your memory. Immediately recognizable by those who've seen it, you need only mention the burlap sack scene for people to know exactly what film you're talking about. By the time you get to the end, which features the most unbearably visceral torture scene in film history, you'll find yourself wondering why what you. With incredible acting and voyeuristic camera angles, Miike's "Audition" is a disturbing masterpiece that will have you needing serious mentally preparation for a second viewing. paranormal activity 2 H alloween C ostumes! 2 0 % Off with CSUSM Student I D Large Selection of Halloween Costumes including: Leg Avenue,Roma,Dreamgirl, & ForPlay including special orders.

While the film delivers plenty of surprises that will have you jumping out of your seat, the overall experience will leave you feeling just as empty and shortchanged as thefirstfilm. Without spoiling the film's events, "Paranormal Activity 2" tells the story of the Rey family. With their one-yearold son Hunter and teenage daughter Ali (Molly Ephraim), Daniel (Brian Boland) and Kristi (Sprague Grayden) find their lavish home quite literally shaken from a mysterious supernatural force. Each reacting to the unnerving events differently, the family is slowly terrorized by doors slamming, eerie BY MILA PANTO VICH PRIDE STAFF WRITER footsteps resounding upstairs, pans falling, and a myriad of creaking sounds. It isn't until things get out of control that Daniel makes a dangerous decision that gives way to the 2007 film. With a new writer (Michael R. Perry) and director, "Paranormal Activity 2" functions in exactly the same way as the first. You may jump from a few scenes that are designed to garner that exact reaction, but by the time the film is over, you will feel just as disappointed as you did upon leaving the first film. The film succeeds in making you tense and nervous and as long as you can get past the complete failure of the sudden ending, you will have a great time being creeped out by basement doors and dark staircases, making "Paranormal Activity 2" a great film to see for Halloween. �DROPPING THIS WEEK BY FAITH ORCINO PRDIE STAFF WRITER How to Train Your Dragon DreamWorks first showed the 3D movie "How to Train Your Dragon" in March of this year.

The Student Media Festival is a celebration of thefilmsof the creative minds on campus. The Visual and Performing Arts Department hold the event each spring on campus. The festival allows students to use their creative prowess to produce afilmfor an audience. Furthermore, the festival highly encourages students to participate and submit their works for the chance to gain recognition from their peers. It also gives students the opportunity to be discovered by those in the film industry seeking new talent. Many entries will be accepted, however only a jselect few will be presented at the festival itself. The festival grows each year, so students are encouraged to polish their films early in order to increase their chances of being featured. The pieces are judged by a jury of fellow students in a number of categories, which include Best Social Justice Project, Best Personal Memoir, Best Experi- mental/ Performance Work, Best Narrative, and Best Documentary. Past winners of these categories have received prizes such as Apple Store gift certificates, computer software and hardware, and cash prizes. Students from all majors are welcome to participate and place their entry in the festival and are free to choose their own subjects. However, thefilmtopics are dependent on the category they are competing for. Subjects in the past have ranged from the lighthearted such as bowling, cats, and jabs atfilmproduction to more serious topics like drugs, cancer, and foreign culture. Johnathan Berman of the Communications Department explains, "What's great about this festival is that it showcases and celebrates the creative work of students from across the campus and allows us to share this work with fellow students, friends, family, teachers, staff, and industry professionals." The festival is open to the public and admission is free and will be catered with free beverages and food. Last year's festival was hosted by actor Jose Yenque who has beenfilmedin programs such as "Law" and Order: S VU," "CSI: Miami," and the 2000 film "Traffic." The deadline for turning in films is in the spring, so there is plenty of time to start working on entries. The festival will take place sometime at the end of the Spring 2011 semester.

Giant Baby 2. Darth Vader 3. Ethnicities 4. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress 5. Male Crotch Outfits 6. "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's" Greenman Here's Why: Lady Gaga - Who doesn't want an excuse to wear a blonde wig and no pants? "Avatar's" N a'vi - The film didn't clean out the Academy Awards f or nothing. If you're thinking of going fantastical, there is nothing more supernaturally magical than being an electric blue humanoid from a different dimension. "Jersey Shore" Characters - Dressing up as your favorite Guida/o is probably the best way to pay homage to the show we are all secretly - or not - obsessed with. "Harry Potter" Character - Deep down inside, a lot of us are still waiting f or our letters from Hogwarts. /Shedding our muggle attire f or one night helps us embody our inner witch and wizard. Vampires and "Twilight" Characters - You read the books. You watched the movies. You have the soundtracks. You own a "Team Jacob/Edward" shirt. You are Twilight. "Alice in Wonderland" Characters - Lewis Carroll's story has been retold in so many different ways by so many different people, i t's only fair to have your say in the representation of literature's wildest tea party. Here's Why Not: Giant Baby - because they freak people out. Adults in diapers are very unattractive... and creepy. Darth Vader - Because it's hard being social with a mask on, and to take it off would defeat the purpose of even attempting to be old Darthy. Plus, you risk sounding like a smoker who has just conquered the Cesar Chavez plaza stairs on campus. Not hot. A Black Person, when you are not - There is always someone every year at every party that somehow thinks it is a good idea to dress up as a black person eVen though they are not black. BAD IDEA, even if you do not mean it in an offensive way. Lady Gaga's Meat Dress - She might be popular, but forgetting this outfit will do the rest of the world a favor. Recreating the meat dress outfit Lady Gaga wore to the MTV's 2010 VMAs this year is not only gross, but highly un-hygienic. You might as well wear fresh road kill. The male crotch "outfits" - Whether it's a horse peeking out from a stable saying "petting zoo" or a tossing ring game, it's highly arrogant to think anyone will want to ride that pony after such a crude invitation. Ironically, these costumes are pricey (considering how little fabric is used). Greenman - Famous from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the costume is an awkward green tight spandex unisex body suit that does not show your face.
