Is it a dining room? Is it a study lounge? Is it a student center? Is it a dance hall? Is it a lecture area? To find the answer I took a drive along the frontage road of Freeway 78 to the pink and green stucco building which is the home of The Foundation. There I found Marty Grey, who handles requests for use of the Dome. When considering these requests, Grey tries to coordinate a "unified effort" to help different organizations hold successful special events on campus. "The Dome was designed as a dining hall/ study area," Grey said. "We are trying to make it used for many things that it was not designed for." The ever-present echo makes the Dome an undesirable lecture site. The inflexible lighting system (the lights cannot be dimmed) makes it an inadequate dance hall. The question remains—if the Dome was not designed to accommodate student events, where did he planners expect the students to hold their functions? Outdoors? Off campus? Grey suggested that maybe "the planners didn't think we would be so social." Meanwhile, the Foundation is trying to come up with creative ways to use the campus facilities. Recently, Grey received a request for the use of the Dome as the site of a dance party in February. She's trying to find an alternative location, possibly outdoors. If you are considering hosting an event in the Dome, here are a few things to remember. The Foundation holds the exclusive food rights on campus.

Page 13 CSUSM Makes A Big Impact on Saving the Environment Our recycling program started in August and during the first two months alone, we diverted 31,300 lbs. of material. That's an excellent start for our new program. If we take a close look at what this effort means to our environment, it becomes even more impressive. We have been busy recycling several varieties of paper including newspaper, cardboard and mix paper. The more than 14 tons of recycled paper means that CSUSM has saved 294 trees, 3,920 gallons of oil and 98,000 gallons of water! The glass bottles that have been recycled reduces the need for mining sand, limestone and soda ash. Making aluminum cans from recycled aluminum reduces related air pollution by 95%. Why recycling just one aluminum can saves enough energy to operate a TV for three hours. Let's keep up the good work.. Take that extra step or two, to put your recyclables in the right container. Together we have made a difference and we can continue to make a greater one!

You may bring in your own caterer by asking Aztec Shops to subcontract with your caterer. Just don't try to cater the event yourself because no home cooked food is allowed. Only licensed caterers are permitted on campus. These food handling policies help the Foundation achieve its goals of "creating a coordinated effort" and assuring "careful food handling." Your next step is to fill out a "Request for Space Form." These forms are being tested right now since the University is still coming up with a facilities policy. An interim policy is now in place. Developing this policy is a lengthy process. "The first draft was 15 pages, now we've narrowed it down," Grey said. The Foundation is testing the Request for Space forms to see if they flow well before it makes a formal policy to be adopted by the University. The goal of the Facilities Use Policy i s to "identify the areas available for use and see what uses the areas serve well and to help determine whether the campus can meet the needs of the event," Grey said. Although the goal of the Facilities Use Policy is sensible, some of us continue to wonder how student unity can be a priority at CSUSM when our campus facilities are not conducive to hosting variety of student events. Office of Admissions and Records Gets a New Door An automatic double door that opens onto the Founders Plaza has been installed in Craven Hall 5110, the counter area of Admissions and Records. From now on, this will be the public entrance to and exit from our office for everyone. Please direct visitors, students, etc. to use this door when coming in to A and R. I ask that all staff and faculty likewise use the new double door. The former entrance to Admissions and Records off the corridor will be kept locked. We hope to have a sign hung outside near the new door identifying our office in the near future. �CSUSM Professor wins Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Math Teaching The White House recently informed CSUSM professor, Joseph Keating that he received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching. Each year, one math teacher and one science teacher are selected from each state for this prestigious award. Keating said of the award, "I am honored to have been chosen as a recipient of the Presidential Award. When Congress established the award, they made a statement about the importance of science education for all Americans. I believe that science should be an integral part of our educational system and as a f aculty m ember at CSUSM feel very fortunate to be given the opportunity to make the connections between science and the training of teachers of science." The Presidential Award acknowledges the important role teachers play in attracting students into science and mathematics. The award carries with it a grant of $7,500 from the National Science Foundation and an expense-paid trip to Washington, D.C. The trip to the capitol in April 1994 includes an award ceremony, a dinner at the State Department, and several workshops where awardees exchange ideas and experiences Keating joined CSUSM's College of Education faculty this August.

CSUSM's Writing Requirement is Excessive USD, SDSU & UCSD have no formal writing requirements By Karen Foster Staff Writer Have you noticed that you've been spending a lot of quality time with your computer lately? The end of the semester is quickly winding down and everyone seems to be struggling to finish an endless number of term papers. During this stressful time, many students view CSUSM's writing requirement of 2,500 words for each class with a great deal of hostility. CSUSM's writing requirement is unique to our university. A survey of USD, UCSD and SDSU was made to see if these universities had any standardized writing requirement. All of them expressed surprise that CSUSM has a formal writing requirement, and added that their schools leave writing requirements up to the individual professors. While there is no intent to diminish the importance of writing, the need for a formalized writing requirement seems unnecessary. In an attempt to satisfy this criteria, most professors assign a final term paper. Students taking a full load of courses usually find themselves struggling to complete four or five term papers all due at approximately the same time. This end-of-semester crunch often results in insufficient time to finish other class readings and assignments. While some professors offer creative ways to satisfy the writing requirement, others have reacted by assigning enormous amounts of written work. Some 300 level classes require more written work than 400 level courses. Given the excessive writing required in each class, it is impossible to do a good job in every class. Burnout quickly sets in. Regardless of the minimum writing requirement, term papers would probably still be a requisite for most classes. However, the pressure of preparing a research paper for every class could be relieved. Some professors could create alternatives to written work that would enhance different learning skills. For now, we are left to deal with the writing load. Keep pounding away at that computer, and promise your friends and family that you'll see them after December 18. �< PLANS . ;\ 18 • 19, a ga&^'l^ltaid CSU Student Research Competition : scheduledftwfMarch prior to the end of this I. ^^t^oijp^e a^mtt year, a s are other and units.

H Camino Real Wiegand Plaza Encinitas, CA 92024 942-5220 �How t o Handle Difficult People By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Dr. Laura Schlessinger, licensed psychotherapist and popular talk show host recently spoke at the Hotel Del Coronado. Her topic—how to handle difficult people. According to Dr. Laura (as her radio listeners call her), "when dealing with difficult persons, always remember 99% of the time the other person is not going to change. No one likes to* give up control and power. How do we normally react when someone makes us angry or upset? We hide. We deny. We wish the upset would go away. We d on't want to deal with it. We become miserable. Life is tough enough without voluntary misery, so we want to protect ourselves. We d on't want to admit our fears or our pain. Nothing you do or say is more powerful than fear—not sex, not love, not food, not money. Why does anyone act like a jerk intentionally? Because they are in the self-protection mode. How you perceive it, how you react to it are important. People are basically different. You can't change their behavior, but you can only change how it feels. The main point in dealing with difficult people—stop being the victim. "Don'town it and you can handle it," says Dr. Laura. Changing your behavior (how you deal with the situation) will help you take control. The five most common types of difficult people are: 1. The Ranter and Raver. Their anger makes you feel hurt and scared. You are convinced you must be letting them down. The issue is acceptance by a parent. You need to look at your history. Did your family show anger? Was anger discouraged or suppressed? Was there a lot of denial and avoidance in your family or an explosive parent? Yourreaction to the ranter andraver— you become terrified. If you do nothing, it is perceived as passivity and permission. How to deal with an angry person? When someone screams, pretend they're under water and say a mantra. Tune out. The anger is about them, not you. Use humor. Find ways to deflect the anger— picture the screamer sitting on a toilet. This helps to put you in an objective place. What can you say to an angry person? "Stop, I don't appreciate being talked to like this." Keep saying it over and over again. It helps to keep your integrity in place. Or use naivete—"Excuse me, I 'm having a hard time understanding what you're saying, can you repeat that to me more slowly?" This will generally take the sting out. Use reverse psychology. Tell the person to keep yelling, and say you'll wait till they calm down. All these devices help to put you in control of the situation and no longer make you the victim. 2. The Manipulator. These persons don't give. They are only in the relationship to get what they want. They lay guilt on others. They are too scared, too afraid to change. They pretend to be caring to get what they want. They are afraid to give in return. The manipulator is very seductive and a charmer. You want to believe it. You know each other 20 minutes and you know i t's 'real.' When a woman has sex with a man, she thinks it means the same thing to the man. But she doesn't ask— it might mean something totally different to him. We don't ask because we d on't want to know. You are still hopeful. You feel used and unhappy. ' There is risk in any relationship," cautions Dr. Laura, "so don't donate it ,too quickly until you see signs of a reciprocal relationship." You can't buy love, not with money, sex, or affection. It happens over time, not in one night. 3. A Flake/Space Cadet. They don't commit to anything. You end up feeling angry and used. "Flakes are unreliable and hard to pin down, so stop trying," reminds Dr. Laura. These people tend to marry control freaks. You end up with a relationship where only one person is paddling the raft on the river of life. Be less upset by it, because you can't change it. If you are involved with a space cadet, you will end up being in control of the relationship. These people don't try and are afraid to take risks or try new things. If you choose to stay in this relationship, maximize the positives. Even flakes do something well. Get enthused about that, but don't push. If you push or criticize them, they withdraw and it reinforces their defenses. 4. Hypercritical/Negative Type. This type of individual is unhappy and insecure. They don't want to be wrong so they're on the alert for anything wrong and are looking for people to blame. Look at these people with pity. Use humor. If you're always surrounded by negativity, get a second opinion to get some objectivity. You can teach the nitpicker realistic f eedback. Someone nitpicky or critical is rarely specific. If they say "This house sucks!" Ask for specifics. "Which part of the house sucks?" People won't stop being that way, but in time it will be tempered. The only way a critical person can get to you is if you are hypercritical yourself. 5. Ignorer. This type of person couldn't care less. They keep doing the same routine, and you tend to overreact. You feel rejected. Ten times out of ten, you know why you are being rejected. Have a heart-to-heart talk with the ignorer. Tell this person you feel hurt. We pay a high price for negative feelings. When dealing with difficult people, look inside yourself. You are the container for the pain you experience. How you perceive it will help you deal with it. Dr. Laura Schlessinger can be heard Monday-Friday on KFI-AM 640 from noon till 2 PM. CSUSM Signature Quilt by the Quilting "Bees" This "work in progress" is being done by an informal group of CSUSM faculty, staff, students and community members. We will be quilting it on campus in the the Dome, every Wednesday at Noon. Please join us for fun and conversation as we complete this project and plan for the next one.

Volunteers Robert Wortmanand Ann Garman By Marilyn Ribble "More people should volunteer. The world would be a better place," said Robert Wortman, president of the Accounting Club, last week at the recent Service-Learning Volunteer table in the Plaza. Wortman has been a volunteer in such diverse areas as Boy Scouts and Volunteer Research for the State Board of Equalization. Wortman is a Business/Accounting major and will participate in the VITA project to assist low income people with tax forms this spring. Yvonne McCarty, a Liberal Studies major, found personal satisfaction in her volunteer hours with the Red Cross, fundraising, as the Art Club treasurer and says about the field of volunteering, "I recommend it to everyone. It is a wonderful professional and personal growth experience." In addition, Yvonne is president of SCTA and the Liberal Studies Ckib vice president. CSUSM is very committed to building a service-learning base and has begun by initiating several events to call attention to what is a progressive and new element in education. Over 100 students stopped by the table in Founder's "I truly enjoy volunteering. It gives me self satisfaction knowing that you have made someone smile," said Ann Garman. Garman, an Accounting major, has an impressive list of volunteering in her background. Ask her about it sometime, or, in brief, here's a few of the areas Ann has chosen: Special Olympics, Best Buddies Club, President of Circle K at CSUSM, Christmas Angel Project for kids this Christmas. And in Ann's f uture she sees herself in Kiwanis Club and continuing with Circle K as an advisor. Richard Molloy, a Psychology major, also has contributed his time as a volunteer. Molloy gives his past experiences as helping with the Indian Fair in 1992 at CSUSM, organizing the first Associated Student Endowed Scholarship. Currently Molloy is a volunteer at the International Festival and an Associated Student Council president. And what does he see for himself in the future? Molloy says maybe the Peace Corps, maybe in the field of migrant labor. Service-learning is proud of the accomplishments of everyone who took the time to speak with us. Achievements and the inner growth attributed to volunteering marks CSUSM as a campus with a heart. As we read and reflect on each of these profiles, a remarkable thing comes to light, that "it's more rewarding to give than to receive." It definitely appears that CSUSM has lots of students who agree with Robert Wortman's statement that volunteering is a way to make the world a better place. Bertha Walker, Estela Beccera and Amanda Kimpel donating their time at the Volunteer Table Do you volunteer in any capacity, large or small? The Service-Learning Office would like to meet you and hear what you do. Contact Claire Langham, 752-4057, Craven 2212. YOUR CONTRIBUTION DESERVES RECOGNITION! Uaire Langham, Service-Learning Coordinator �Profile of a CSUSM Student Volunteer By Claire K. Langham Service-Learning Coordinator "In my new start in life, volunteering opened the doors to my career path as a computer trainer and consultant," explained Linda Amor, a senior in the College of Business Administration. "Volunteering directly resulted in my current employment and has provided immeasurable opportunities. The directions at this point are unlimited for me" she elaborated. "Absolutely no one makes it alone in this world. Everyone at some time needs help. Likewise, everyone has something to offer other people. It is for this reason," she stated, "that everyone should be willing to give as well as to receive support." After living for several years in Hawaii, Linda returned to San Diego in the fall of 1987 as a newly single parent of three young children ages 1, 7, and 9. She had minimal resources, four suitcases, and virtually no computer experience. Determination and vision are the "inner resources" that have been key to Linda's survival and success. It really all started because of Linda's own need to improve her skills. She analyzed her situation and decided that mastering computers would be the key to security and opportunities for herself and her family. Linda's natural interests are in people, their warmth, and the creativity found in the visual arts, music, and writing. She also finds sciences fascinating. However, computers were her logical, rational decision for study. Initially, to implement her decision to develop computer skills, Linda arranged to barter for the use of a computer in exchange for her services as a personal and business manager for an individual who was living outside the US. 85% of the year. Naively, Linda initially thought she could learn the computer within two months. She had not realized the magnitude of her decision, nor the academic journey that lay ahead. Photo/Claire Langham Linda enrolled in a self-paced ROP (Regional Occupation Program) computer class in Escondido. She taught herself Word Perfect and other programs. "Actually, I have to admit to playing stupid in the lab so I would not be rotated after learning the software basics." Her goal was to master the entire computer system. Apparently, Linda had a hidden talent, but she was also driven. She worked extremely long hours, 12 to 16 hours a day at a computer studying or writing manuals. She was so unhappy with the existing computer manuals, that she began writing many of her own. Linda's mastery soon exceeded opportunities through ROP, so she expanded into other programs and began networking. Linda encountered many others who were experiencing the same frustration with lack of good manuals or instruction. She began helping others as a volunteer in small groups. In the process, she discovered really early that she had a great propensity to help other people. Thus, as she was learning new skills, she was teaching them to other people. This lead to requests for her to give training lectures to a variety of businesses and special interest groups. Through this exposure, she was offered her first credentialed teaching position in a computerized desktop publishing class for the San Diego Community College Adult Education Program. Ironically, Linda had found an indirect means of expressing her interest in art through practical computer applications. Why is Linda a business major? Her decision to return to school was based on the need to understand the principles of the computer applications that she was teaching, and the needs of the businesses being addressed. For example, she was teaching spreadsheet applications and needed to understand basic accounting principles. Volunteering continues to be important to Linda. "I routinely offer my time and services to others. One of the most rewarding experiences is when people I have helped come back later and thank me for having opened a door for them."

Present at these hearings were executives from all the major networks, gallantly confessing their evil ways and promising oodles more family programming and far less of the adult- oriented, sexually explicit, violent shows that have made them all rich. Illinois Senator Paul Simon, the lead crusader in the Clean-Up-Television battle, seemed very encouraged at the network promises, presumably convinced that his actions were having a significant effect on the moral character of the entertainment industry. Not long after the hearings, a small child playing with fire was responsible for the death of his little sister. The child's mother blamed the death on overexposure to MTV's animated Beavis and Butthead, a crass, vulgar series detailing the exploits of two teenage morons who gain great pleasure from, among other things, setting various animals on fire. There was a huge public outcry, complete with veiled threats from various elected officials, that immediately lead MTV executives to discontinue the 7 PM showtime. There is a disturbing trend taking shape here. Politicians and community activists hungry for publicity and in search of an easy target have turned their sights on the entertainment industry. Indeed, it seems as if every artistic medium has recently come under attack for in some way contributing to the decline of Western Civilization. Conservative radio mouthpiece Rush Limbaugh has been accused of-gaspl-bias in his daily political harangues and there has been talk among elected officials of invoking something called the Fairness Doctrine that would presumably f orce ideologues such as Limbaugh to "balance" their tirades by representing different points of view. Rap and Rock music now come complete with "Parental Advisory" stickers warning of foul language or depictions of graphic sexuality. The well-documented prosecution of rap group Two Live Crew on obscenity charges is an extreme example of the growing governmental willingness to cater to a vocal minority of self-styled moralists bent on controlling the content of American art. That's not to say that there aren't legitimate crises of morality and values in American society. Indeed, it takes only an occasional viewing of not Beavis and Butthead but CNN to see what a mess much of American society has become. It is unfortunate, then, that basically well-intentioned people waste valuable time barking about the actions of fictional characters instead of attempting to solve the real problems of crime, illiteracy, poverty, drug abuse, AIDS, alcoholism and the countless other ills that plague our society. Art is now and always has been a reflection of life; television does not provoke behavior in otherwise innocent viewers who had never before considered such mischief. It is the purpose of all art to, in the words of Shakespeare "hold a mirror up to life." We have become a society obsessed with shouting at our own reflections, convinced that if we can somehow change what we see on television, we will change what we see on our streets. That is a tragically misguided notion. In fact, it is often what we see on television or hear on the radio that opens our eyes to what is happening on our streets. Art is an incredibly powerful force, and it is the power of art to outrage, sadden or shock people into action that serves as one of the strongest arguments for a free and open society. Certainly, young impressionable children should not have open access to material obviously unsuited for juveniles. In that respect, it was a responsible decision for MTV to move potentially offensive material to a later time slot. It is a sad comment on the state of American parenting in general, however, that corporate executives and elected officials are forced to take on the position of a mother or a father. The breakdown of family values is a real problem not solved by cheap sermonizing or potshots at Murphy Brown that serve only to further divide society. It is a problem that goes far beyond what children are watching on TV, and until everybody realizes that, little will be accomplished. It is unfortunate that Beavis, Butthead and Rush Limbaugh have become the primary spokesmen for the First Amendmentrightsso central to the continued functioning of our republic. But let them raise their collective voices loudly, triumphantly in defense of freedom until every last potential censor is too annoyed and offended to-continue his or her efforts.

Lane Contributing Writer There is currently a very special and enlightening art exhibit on display at the CSUSM library. Twenty-two "yarn paintings" by artist Tim Hinchliff and a poem with each piece describing the meaning in that creation. Each symbol in the paintings has a specific message or purpose. Mother Earth is shown in many of them. The symbol of woman is depicted often as essential to the life spirit of the earth, sky, and universe. Tim Hinchliff is a native of San Diego county . At the age of 14 years, Tim took a trip to Mexico with his mother, a Cultural Anthropologist, and was introduced to Huichol yarn art from Nayarit, Mexico. DL: Even though we live in a high-tech society that does not include hunting/gathering, do you see a relationship between ancient beliefs about nature and our modern world? TH: I see modern society as hunting and gathering even today. W e are j ust look- ing for different stuff to survive on. It may not be corn or buffalo but the hunt for money through careers etc. will have the same effect. Eventually, it will be used tooput food on the table and clothes on our backs. DL: Can you tell us more about accompanying each piece in the library? TH: I create sonnets as a love song that I express f or a greater understanding of the art presented. "Courting the Earth," the work I am presenting at CSUSM this month is an attempt to show others that we areallpart of an original family indelibly tied with the earth and its personality. I am a poet, and after a painting is finished, I write about how I see that painting and what it means to me.. Because I live with the painting while creating it, writing about what I have created is a process that gives me closure, as well as assisting the public in understanding my work. DL: How do you see yourself, past, present, and future? TH: I have been extremely fortunate to have had a life that has allowed me to take the Photo/Debra K. Lane time to create. Over the last 20 years, I have been able to grow with my art and obtain an understanding of the levity of what I am creating. But I have also been fortunate to have had the time to hang out in those avocado groves in Fallbrook and play with the idea of art. I began by drawing, sketching and writing poetry. I was encouraged by my family and friends. And I was lucky enough to have met a woman to share my life. I have a home, love, children and a career. It really is incredible luck. Students create multicultural quilts Students in the two sections of Education 390created two very beautiful multicultural quilts. The quilts are being used as a class servicelearning project by collecting donations and giving the proceeds to three local non-profit organizations. Proceeds from one class will go to the Latino Boy Scout Troop 669 to sponsor a wilderness camping experience focusing on self-esteem and a science/ecology component The other proceeds will be used to sponsor at least two students' participation in Leadership 2000 and to assist in the efforts of a local senior citizen playwright which serves to eliminate myths and stereotypes about aging. These students are "no nonsense" when it comes to business and it was decided that each student would seek donations for $1 per ticket Each class is striving to raise at least $ 1000. We would appreciate your support and donations in this endeavor: The quilts will be on display in Founders Plaza for the next few days. I appreciate your support for the students efforts and wish all participants the best of luck in the drawings to be held Dec. 6 and Dec. 8. For more information, contact Charolette Bell at 752-4313.

Whether performing a little revisionist history by showing the world a softhearted Elliot Ness in The Untouchables or a politically correct Union soldier in Dances with Wolves, Costner has repeatedly epitomized the very 90s, very Hollywood aes- thetic of the Sensitive White Male. At first look, his new role as an escaped convict in Clint Eastwood's A Perfect World seems a bold step away from this cuddly repertoire. Butch, as tBe Costner character is called, is a cold-blooded murderer and kidnapper seemingly capable of any violent and sadistic act. Upon further examination, however, Butch proves in many ways to be a typical Costner character; a misunderstood, ultimately kind-hearted product of a dysfunctional family—Robin Hood with a .38 and a pack of Lucky Strikes. A Perfect World is a mess. A surprising mess, considering the collective artistic talent assembled, but an ultimate disappointment nonetheless. Directed by Clint Eastwood and co-starring Eastwood and Laura Dern, this story of an escaped criminal who inadvertently kidnaps a young Jehovah's CSUSM's First Production Frankly, to be Honest... By L. Rene Fooks Contributing Writer Theatre is alive at CSUSM! Frankly, to be honest.,, an Evening of Student Generated Theater was directed by Marcos Martinez, faculty member of the Visual and Performing Arts department. This, the first CSUSM student-based production, was the resulfcof Theater Arts 499C-Production Workshop. The production was student-generated theatre. Just because the word "student" is used, doesn't necessarily mean the quality is low. Three performances were given last month, November 6-8, and if you missed them, too bad. It was well worth it. The play was a series of monologues and short scenes that depicted certain attitudes in society regarding class, race, and gender that perhaps some of us were not aware of; or we have become so de-sensitized by its occurrences that we ignore it. One such idea was the monologue of an overweight female who described how valuable she was as a human being in spite of her obesity, and how society has set unwritten standards on women based solely on their appearance. That was a real eye-opener. As a male, I can honestly say I have changed my pre-judging sexist attitudes after hearing and seeing this particular monologue. I even took the 'sorry no fat chicks' bumper sticker off my car. Another interesting scene showed a method in which attitudes and ideas are shaped. Like father, like son; you' ve heard the cliche. This scene showed a bitter, divorced man instilling aggressive, demeaning ideas about women and their true function (from his perspective), to his teenage son, who has developed that same pleasure-seeking, hateful attitude towards his girlfriend. I personally could not find any entertainment value in the profane language used. They were not kidding when they advertised the program as not suitable for children. I didn't get the impression that the profane language was used to "boost the ratings" but maybe to show us what we've grown accustomed to in our everyday lives. The theatre has a way of showing us who we really are as individuals. If all the world is a stage as one man wrote, and we are the players, then the theatre is you as well. Don't miss the next show! Witness boy and is pursued across Texas by a gruff ranger (Eastwood) and a psycho babbling beaurocrat (Dern) starts out fairly strong but is quickly saddled with an annoying subplot and predictable dialogue and situations. Costner summons up the proper menace in the early scenes when breaking out of prison and kidnapping the child. There is a strange, unpredictable connection between Butch and the boy that is balanced with strong tension; the audience isn't sure where things are going, whether or not the criminal can be trusted That tension is ruined soon enough, as we discover that Butch was a product of a broken home and has never killed anybody who wasn't trying to harm someone he loved. We find this out because Dern's character delivers a poorly written speech to a trailerful of The Texas rangers emphasizing the importance of understanding the Why of criminal behavior, not the What if you really want to catch your man. It is the worst scene in the movie and serves to almost single-handedly destroy all possibilities of creativity or originality left in the film. The entire Eastwood-Dern subplot, in fact, serves as nothing more than an annoying distraction. The film takes place in Texas a week before President Kennedy was shot, and Eastwood plays with some interesting symbolism about martyrdom and a loss of innocence. But nothing is fully developed, and by the time the drawn out, predictable ending comes, all the potential shown in the f ilm's opening moments has been squandered. It is unfortunate that such talent was wasted on such a mediocre project. A S. Programming S oard P resents . . Associated Students are about to make history here at CSUSM with the first Rock music event ever. Conceit is to be held in front of the Dome Cafe, around 2:30pm on December 9th. * �Sounds ofSANKOFA SANKOFA is an AKAN name for the mythical bird that constantly looks back as it flies forward. The name means 'Go and retrieve the past', and to the AKAN people of Ghana, West Africa, this behavior symbolizes the need to develop a sense of continuity in our everyday life by linking our present and future to the past The musical style of the group, SANKOFA, succinctly represents the concept expressed in the name. From a socio-historical perspective, this group traces the development of unique musical expressions as the slaves began to transform, adapt to and adopt the diverse life-styles in which they found themselves in the diaspora. SANKOFA represents a unique blend of the music of South, Central and North America as well as the music of the Caribbean as reshaped by the dynamics of slavery and other forms of cultural diffusion andacculturative processes. In SANKOFA, one could easily identify the characteristics of Jazz* Reggae, Funk, Calypso, Salsa, Blues, Gospel, Spiritual, Traditional and Contemporary African music, Country and Western, Samba and the Classical tradition, all of which are fused together to underscore the homogeneity of the sources of acculturative processes that have guided the changes through the years. The ever-present polyrhythmic and complex melodic structures, the call-and-response vocal styles, the functionalism of the music and all other attributes that have stood the test of time are the basis of the SANKOFA style. This group is a capsule of the reactions that current socio-political, and historical transformations throughout the world are generating. World music has been melded by Photos of Sankofa/Carlos Mariscal advancements in technology while exclusiveness of remote cultures has become a thing of the past. The members of this amazing group include a well-selected cadre of musicians who have been dedicated to the various representative styles. They include Jim Storey, guitar; Gunnar Biggs, bass; Brad Steinwehe, trumpet; David Murray, trombone; Jason Hahn, drums and percussion; Roy Gonzalez, timbales and percussion; Eyi Omaraji, percussion, vocals and dance and Komla Amoaku, congas, percussion and lead vocals. Dr. Amoaku is also a Professor of Ethnomusicology at CSUSM. The ensemble sometimes includes traditional African dancers: Gelsamina Merritt, Shoshanna Cordes and Chantale Damas. CSUSM sees the world increasingly becoming a global village, and wishes that this be expressed in its art and cultural programs. SANKOFA is the institution's demonstration of its perception of the 21st century. SANKOFA will be performing on Thursday, Dec. 9 at 12 Noon at the Commons Stage. �T 1 ATTENTION POETS Wfwf Open Poetry Contest / ••ByAmjeje;:;- / ^ h f m ^ yoi* treating me this way* proclaim to love me, ' ^^vfe - I ^ V ^ i i i g - s u b t l e : •: s ^tetd g ^ :• • •' this does not seem like love to me.

MCAT GMAT LSAT GRE PREPARATION COURSES FOR MOR INFORMATION, CALL US AT (619) 558-0500 By Roy L atas Staff Writer A campus writing center usually reflects aplace where remedial writers work through their writing problems, but the CSUSM Writing Center provides a friendly environment that serves a hub for the All University Writing Requirement Project. The tutor corps of the Writing Center is a skilled group of students whose foundation in writing theory and practices comes from English 494 (Theory and Practice of College Writing). The tutors aim to foster quality academic writing from the painless perspective of a good friend who is interested in advancing meaningful analysis. Students at any phase of an assignment are encouraged to come to the Writing Center. How do you use the Writing Center? The tutorial staff of the Center recognizes that writing is always a messy business—writing never advances in clean, concise, well-rounded or logical steps. Academic writing involves a process of false starts, misdirections, confusion, and many times frustration. The tutor offers another set of eyes to assist writers while they navigate their "writerly" course to meaning. The phases of writing: brain-storming, editing, revision or final draft inspection are all part of the tutorial s taffs field of experience. Who uses the Writing Center? During the 1992-1993 academic year, the Writing Center DISPLAY ADVERTISING conducted over 1,334 individual writing conferences. The heaviest student populations came from Liberal Studies, English, and Business Management/Accounting majors, each accounting for approximately 20% of the students utilizing the Center. The significant population of English majors reflects the attitude that even those who may perceive themselves as being skilled writers recognize the need for revision and recognize potential profits of a trip to the Center. The notion that only students with serious writing problems avail themselves of this service was dispelled by discovering that the average GPA of students using the Center was 3.25. This statistic indicates successful students at CSUSM use the Center to enhance their writing and produce high caliber papers. The tutors at the Writing Center want to assist all students who wish to improve and advance their writing skills. Center tutors are involved in an educational dynamic which provides them an exceptional teaching experience with other students. The tutors, by helping others, will in turn improve their own writing skills. CLASSIFIEDS Rates for standard size ads: Bus.
