In a few weeks, procrastinators will flood into the library fran­ tically searching for useful information. However, the stress of these last-minute searches does not need to be as harried. With planning and a little aid from the library, students can make research work much easier. This semester, the library has implemented a new program which provides students with computer assistants. These assistants circu­ late among the library’s computer terminals helping students. The aides can explain how to maneuver through the numerous databases and direct students to the proper database for their subject. Carolyn Batisto, one of the computer assistants, explained that most stu­ dents have limited time for research and need to get their information as quickly as they can. Assistant Holly Korotie said that many students may feel hesitant toask for their help wanting “to figure it out for themselves.” She added that most students have a grasp on the basics of the system, but that sometimes they need help directing their search. Batisto said that the Computer Assistants specifically look for students who have generated large search fields. When assistants see this situation, they know they can help the student by nar­ rowing down the subject. By introducing the student to the use of Boolean strategies, which combine key search terms, a smaller and more precise search can be conducted. The student can save valuable time and get specifically requested information. While most students are grateful for the assistants’ aid, Batisto said the library can provide additional service which can expe­ dite research. Students can set up a private appointment with a reference librarian to work only on their research paper. A form describing the topic, and its due date, is submitted to the reference librarian who can prepare to help the student. This personal­ ized service can be especially helpful to students with a difficult topic, or those un­ familiar or uncomfortable with library re­ search. Research takes time, but planning can make the process less painful. Choosing a quieter library time makes the work easier. Batisto said that the busiest library times are noon on Mondays and Wednesdays, early mornings, or after 8 PM. By avoiding these hectic hours, students will find more avail­ able computers and assistants. While many students will continue to procrastinate, they can at least be assured that when they do begin their research, they can find help at the library.

By Roy Latas Staff Writer Students who undergo the rigors of aca­ demic life are constantly looking for inex­ pensive ways to relax. Free activities usu­ ally focus on the enjoyment of nature. A walk through a park or trip to the beach provide a break from suburban student life. However, in our metropolitan area, a trip to the beach may be hazardous to your health. The beach closures we experienced dur­ ing last year’srainy season are symptomatic of a problem called non-point source pollu­ tion. This problem stems from the small but constant dripping of motor oil from cars, the careless dropping of cigarette butts, pet fe­ ces, and run-off of fertilizer and insecticides from the fields of North County. These pollutants collect in storm drains and dry river beds awaiting the flush of the winter rain that will wash this unhealthy mixture to the beaches. The storm water receives no treatment at our sewage plants, so the storm water with its unknown composition of pol­ lutants empties into local rivers and la­ goons. It passes through the complex storm water drainage system, eventually draining into the ocean through pipes that usually sit directly on the sand. Controlling all forms of water pollution Photo/Mary Szterpakiewicz was the intent of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The CWA originated in 1972 with the intent of making U.S. coastal and inland waters “fishable and swimmable.” The main focus of the Clean Water Act was to stop industrial pollution, and to that end, there has been The FDA Wants to Take Your Vitamins Away C A T k o lic Men, P o N d eR iN q By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) recently pro­ posed a bill, S-784, The Dietary Supple­ ment, Health, and Education Act to launch a counterattack against the FDA’s proposed regulations that would make high potency vitamins and minerals available only through prescription. Sen. Hatch stated the goal of his bill was, "to make sure that our system encourages all people to choose what they want from life. And in order to choose what they want from life there has to be that essential respect for the individual and for the individual’s freedom and inde­ pendence to direct his or her own life." "The FDA frankly believes that they know best. They know what is good for you. You can quit thinking for yourselves substantial progress. The CWA is currently undergoing re-au­ thorization. Every five years, Congress must evaluate the CWA, yet current conditions which are the product of the CWA are not very encouraging. The CWA represents the only legislation that protects the water, and it needs to be strengthened during the current 1993-94 congressional session. Congressman Oberstar has sponsored a bill (HR-2543) that will create a national plan to identify non-point pollution sources and make watershed districts like our Regional Water Quality Control Board (Region 9), develop a comprehensive plan to mitigate the impact of on-point source pollution. The bill allows the pollution problems to be rectified within a flexible framework allowing the various parts of the country to respond to the problems by a means best suited to the area. Senators Max Baucus and John Chafee head the the Environment and Public Works Committee and will be responsible for writ­ ing the new Clean Water Act. Norman Minetta will be writing the House version. You can show your support by writing to Congress­ men Baucus, Chafee and Minetta as well as to your own representatives, urging them to support this bill. A short letter or postcard with a picture of a beach you would like to protect would send a strong message. The bill is expected to be voted on in midNovember. The full Clean Water Act will not be voted on until Spring. now," said Hatch. Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw (re­ nowned scientists and authors of Life Extensions who advanced the free radi­ cal theory on aging) are also actively opposing some 2,000pages of new regu­ lations the FDA wants to impose on the health food industry. These are due to go into effect before year end. The FDA’s motivation? One reason given was found in one of their own reports which states that FDA approval of vitamins and nutritional supplements would inhibit the development of pre­ scription drugs. You can support Sen. Hatch’s Bill by writing your Congress­ men and Senators urging them to vote for passage of S-784. Y o u r F u tu re ?

G R O U P "THOMAStsTfiAt/D * YOU EVERWONDER. WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT ? n Conformity is the jailer offreedom and the enemy of growth. John F. Kennedy —- �A Letterfrom the ! Uumni /■ Association A look into the life of recent grad By Amy Glaspey Staff Writer It’s nine months before you graduate. Never mind your midterms, have you sent out your resumes and filled up your rolodex yet? Jim Kuhl, CSUSM Class of ’92 and current Alumni President, sent out over 100 resumes prior to graduating with an accounting degree. Kuhl began his job search in 1991 by making contacts and “getting to know people.” Kuhl landed one of his top two job choices just six months after gradua­ tion. He is now a tax auditor with The State Board of Equalization. Kuhl attributes his success in this rough marketplace to perserverance. “I just kept pounding them,” Kuhl said. He bombarded his new employer with a dozen follow-up phone calls and letters. The most significant activity Kuhl was involved in was the Accounting Society. Meeting with community members and networking with busi­ nesses and firms gave him career focus. “Once I found direction, my job search was much easier,” said Kuhl. The competition was tough. Tight alumni groups like San Diego State University graduates like to hire their own. One employer candidly told a CSUSM graduate, “we tend to hire SDSU alumni, and I don’t see that changing.” Prospective employers tend to be skeptical about our new univer­ sity. “They just do not know about our programs,” Kuhl said. Consequently, Kuhl’s personal goal as Alumni President is to build public interest in the university by organizing communityaimed events. “Alumni are a natural bridge be­ tween the community and the univer­ sity,” said Kuhl. “Building community interest is the most important thing.” Not that Kuhl would mind generat­ ing some financial support for CSUSM as well. According to Kuhl, universi­ ties nationwide obtain 83% of their budgets from private donations. In contrast, the California State University system averages 13% of its budget coming from private donations. Kuhl would love to narrow the gap. Long-term goals for Kuhl include “keeping people involved with the development of the university” and establishing an alumni database so that “20-30 years from now, we could tap that resource.” Today, the economy of California faces its most challenging times since the Great Depression. This is particularly true in the days preceding the seemingly inevitable NAFTA agreement. While numerous variables have affected California’s ability to remain a leading global competitor, one competitive advantage has always remained constant: our educated work force. The CSU system has been instrumental in providing higher education. We graduate more college students than all other California institutions of higher learning combined. For the past several years, we’ve been doing more with less. To sustain any further budget reductions would undoubtedly threaten our most valuable competitive advantage. On November 2,1993, voters will consider Proposi­ tion 172, a proposal to make permanent an extra cents sales tax that was imposed in conjunction with the State Temporary Tax Increase of 1-1/4% which went into effect on July 15,1991. This measure was intended to balance the state budget and solve its temporary budget crisis, with a 1/2% rollback to be effective July 1,1993. How­ ever, the severity and length of the recession were unforeseen by even the most pessimistic economists. Due to the prolonged reces­ sions, Governor Wilson temporarily extended the measure through the end of the calendar year. The proceeds of this tax are to be devoted to local public safety functions. This in turn will offer state policy makers an opportunity to invest other state revenues in other high priority areas, particularly higher education. What difference can a s % 2 / 1ales tax increase make? San Diego imposed its own 1/2% tax increase from January 1,1989, through February 14,1992. In just over three years, it produced nearly $400 million in revenue. Statewide, such a program could generate in excess of $2 billion annually, or approximately 3.5% of the entire annual State budget. The CSU system is imperative to the competitive advantage o f California, which is something all of us have a vested interest in. This is not an issue impaired by special interest groups, but all who value the future of our State. With voter turnout anticipated to be low, your support is crucial. Let’s all come together and vote YES on 172! James Kuhl, President CSUSM Alumni Association �YOUNAME IT / FRIDAY, OCTOBER22, 1993--------------------------- C S m p U S C I U b S “ Creeks Get Opposition to Halloween Bash By Amy Glaspey Staff Writer At a university that promotes cultural diversity, it still may be acceptable to discriminate against the Greeks. Kappa Chi Omega, Phi Delta Delta, Teke and Sigma Phi Delta want to enhance school spirit by hosting an open Halloween party on campus in the Dome. Personality conflicts and stereotypes within the InterClub Council have tarnished the Greek’s chances for approval. The Greeks submitted a proposal to the Director of Student activities in accordance with the Interim Alcohol Regulations of CSUSM pending final approval by the President’s office. They were prepared to meet the following criteria: — To abide by University, federal and state regulations regarding school alcohol use and distribution. —-To ensure the sale or distribution of alcohol to individuals over 21 years of age. — To provide a non-alcoholic beverage alternative. —To provide food to all in attendance at the event. — To accept responsibility for any and all damages incurred during the activity and to provide restitution for damages. — To maintain behavior and activities appropriate for a University setting. — To provide personnel to clean up and restore the facility to its original condition immediately following the close of the event. The Greeks are also prepared to fund the event out of their own budgets. When in­ formed that the InterClub Council (ICC) pro­ vides supplementary funding for certain events, the Greeks presented their party pro­ posal at the March 9th ICC Meeting. Shortly after their presentation, the ICC motioned to deny support to any activity where alcohol is served. A source within the Greek organizations said that the ICC “ste­ reotyped” the Halloween bash as a "wild beer party with kegs on every comer.” The ICC remains strangely silent on the issue. Matthew McNamara, ICC President, repeatedly refused to comment on the par­ ticulars of the debate. When asked the ICC’s stance on alcohol-related events he replied, “I will not answer your questions.” The Greeks returned to the Director of Student Activities and met with a different reception. It is rumored.that the President’s office hesitated to give its approval to a func- A source within the Greek organizations said that the ICC "stereotyped" the Halloween bash as a "wild beer party with kegs on every comer:" tion that was rejected by the ICC. Although Bridget Bailey-Meiers, according to a Greek source, remains supportive and helpful, new provisions were added to the Interim Alcohol Regulations. The President’s office now claims that the Dome is not conducive for dancing due to hazards created when the lights are dimmed. In addition, the Greeks must hire a school provided set and disassemble crew, a school approved carpet cleaner and security guards. The Greeks are committed to hosting Interested in Politics? —This By Elena Weissman Contributing Writer Rumor has it that the formation of a political science organization is under­ way. Guess what? It’s true. This university has reached the stage where students have a real need for a Political Science Association (PSA). At this moment, students are forming a club to arouse an interest in politics and campus affairs. We have the full support of the faculty who are very enthused about the establishment of this club. Everyone has an opportunity to become involved in the planning stages of the PSA. We will structure this organization so that it has a life which lasts long after we have graduated from CSUSM. Don’t let the name of the club avert your interest. It is definitely something club p W lT liS e S C O n tW V e rS y that is open to ALL students. It is for everyone who is interested in current events. Your party affiliation, be it Republican, Democrat; Libertarian or Green, etc., is not relevant. A variety of opinions will only make it more interesting. If you ever wanted to participate in a discussion about the current state of politics or felt you would like to express an opinion but did not feel that you were informed, then this is the place for you. If your ambition is to become politically active, this could be your start. We will network for job opportunities, have political debates, learn about institu­ tions of higher education, and instill a sense of community involvement. We look forward to sponsoring speakers, political forums and other such activities. We could impact this university by creating a campus that will allow students to voice their concerns and problems with campus policies. We aim to provide assistance in the development of curriculum in the Political Science Department. It has been suggested that a student advisory board to the department be established. To keep up on the latest developments in the department, membership in the Political Science Association would be invaluable. The PSA could be the most dynamic organization on campus, but we cannot do this without the support of our students.

They have resubmitted their proposal to the President’s office highlighting the fact that they’ve already secured a dance floor (to protect the carpet) and are willing to work with the lighting issue. A source within the Greek organizations said that there was a dance party in the Dome last year. The source wonders if hazards witnessed last year give credence to the lighting issue. If so, the organizations are willing to add new lights under a tarp and provide extra lighting in the restrooms. If necessary, the Greeks are prepared to move the party outside, in the parking lot under a tent. They will hire security guards and purchase food, beverages, and alcohol from the Aztec shops. The Greeks are also prepared to file a formal grievance if their party is not ap­ proved. T|0U)?lKO(0(te\|/ Volunteers I T:i B o you v o lu i n a n y c a p a c ity — ."' la rg e o r sm a ll?

Well, before you become completely overwhelmed by deadlines and due dates, consider this: the fact that you’re attending this university speaks highly of the kind of person you are. Against all odds, you’ve managed to remain in school and are on a path toward a more enriching life than the trail you’ve left behind. If your midterm grades did not meet your expectations, you’re not alone. We’re all in this together, so we need to look to each other for support. Keep in mind that even though it may carry a substantial amount of weight, a mid­ term is, by no means, a final grade. There are still ways to rectify any obstacles in the way of a satisfying grade. Get phone numbers. That way, if you should happen to miss a class you will be able to get the notes you need. Also, do the group thing. You will find that studying in groups is easier than studying alone. You will be able to enhance social as well as study skills. In the process, you may start a network of acquaintances that will provide mutually beneficial contacts that may extend beyond your college years. Remember that professors look at the overall efforts of each student through­ out the semester. Steadily working in manageable bits day-by-day requires courage and tenacity. At times, your hard work may not seem to be ac­ knowledged. Indeed, genius often goes unrecognized. Make your efforts known. Take advantage of your instuctors’ office hours. Don’t remain one in a sea of nameless faces in a classroom. Get to know your instructor and make sure he or she knows who you are and the pains you are taking to make certain of a positive outcome. They are there to offer assistance if you are having difficulties with their courses and they appreciate feedback on their effective­ ness. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. You’re paying good money to get your education, so you may as well use all resources that are available to you. There is help, if you need it. While you’re at it, you may want to check out the Student Resource Center in room 5205 in the Administration Building. They offer video and audio tapes, selfhelp materials and a directory, support groups, study skill info, computer assistance software, workshops, program info, community referrals and many other services. The sacrifices and hardships that you encounter now, will only make you a stronger person. Perseverance will pay off in whatever your endeavor after graduation and beyond. - Take deep breaths - Get*enough sleep - Go for long walks - UJatch a sunset - G e t Some exercise - Go for a bike ride - Take up goga - E a t balanced meals - Ruoid caffeine jJtrime Management, Studying Math, CASSI (Computer Assisted Study ■ ■ ■ M ftk ilfe Instructions) is available fb*»i|udents to u s e . ,' ' ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ pp h sp r^ ^ ^ (|^ €^ ;R esoiU ^ 0;; ;iCeiitei; Craven (Do you Write (Prose, Poetry or ffictionP..... ..............................

Every group and individual is represented at Cal State San Marcos, and the admin­ istration is quick to recognize the importance of that kind of inclusion. The faculty likewise dedicates a great deal of coursework to issues of multicultural-ism and appreciating diversity, as our global awareness requirements attest. Many students feel that such attention to these kinds of issues is excessive and ultimately distracting to their true educational goals. The grousing is subtle but ever present. Multiculturalism is the educational trend of the day, but is the student backlash growing? The conservative furor over the nationwide spectre of politically correct speech codes on college campuses has not found its way to pastoral San Marcos. Neither, for the most part, has political correctness itself. The best thing about the organiza­ tional makeup of our school is that clubs promoting ethnic diversity and party-driven sororities and fraternities can exist side by side. No view is shut out and all voices are given an opportunity to be heard. But are these divergent voices sinking in? For all the rhetoric about the value of a well-rounded, liberal education, many college students check in for years merely to do the necessary time that will help them get a good job. Multiculturalism is an abstraction to those who have no interest in expanding their educational horizons. Fortunately, that is not the usual case amongst the CSUSM student body. With an average student age of 29 and a collection of only juniors and seniors, we are lucky enough to be amidst generally mature, analytical classmates with open minds: Furthermore, in a demographically complex and ever-shifting California, multiculturalism is not an administratively imposed intellectual abstraction but rather a vital, everyday reality. Tolerating and appreciating cultures other than your own is the necessary end of education in this commu­ nity. That is a reality we hope every student will come to terms with during their stay. |a te of And far too touch of it is spent either op inexcus­ able, worthless pursuit|§rdn shameless pbilSlrrel pfoprams that serve no other purpdfe than to guarantee Members of Cphgress’ re-electijp, like: 3 * $5 millioii from the US defense bud­ g e t^ bwld a building for an independent country in the Pacific j§§ean that b e lW p i^ th e British Comh fteealth of Nations. puf tax dollars is spent ; ^ |^ ^ ;to i^ ^ |p iF lic ers,:.Pentagon bu­ reaucrats and their plfense contractor guests can spend their afternoons playdreaming up toore ways to spend taxpaprSb-mOnevi^ ^ ^ ^ ^ B fjjgSource: Citizens Alternative Press Offers A Dose of Free Speech By Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief I read my first issue of Plan 9 — that alternative paper that no one sees, but everyone reads. Plan 9’s ideology states it is against force and violence of any sort for any reason. This philosophy is not new nor radical. "Educate, don’t legislate." I’m all for that. While Plan 9 is motivated for a number of reasons, at least it has the right idea. Ever wonder why major papers and networks look alike and report the same stories? Some 1,800 newspapers nationwide are owned and controlled by fewer than 20 conglomerates. San Diego's Copley Newspapers, in addition to the San Diego Union-Tribune, own and operate 9 dailies, 36 week­ lies and 1 bi-weekly newspaper. The Hearst Corpo­ ration owns 12 dailies, 5 weeklies and 14 maga­ zines. Alternative newspapers and media offer quite a different view of what is painted on this morning’s headlines or tonight’s evening news. Waco, for example, was treated quite differently by the alternative press. The official mainstream media version painted the portrait of a maniacal cult. The alternative media gave a story of FBI agents overly eager to do what was right. Despite pleas from the Waco compound to bring in the press, the request fell on deaf ears. The Branch Davidians' First Amendment rights to free speech and freedom of religion were ignored. Mainstream media failed to go in and report their side of the story and failed to interview survivors. It took Lloyd Bensten several months after an exten­ sive official investigation (more tax dollars well spent) to find out the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire­ arms (BATF) lied. The alternative press held this view right from the beginning, while it failed to get the attention of the major networks and mainstream papers. It is encouraging to see alternative newspapers, many self-published like Plan 9, Espresso, the Lib­ erty Bell, and the Coastal Post in Marin County, dare to speak their mind. We find too little actual freedom o f speech going on these days—like an animal on the brink of extinction. The polished look of the major media has effectively hypnotized millions of little brains with its repeat message “be good little sheep.” Alternative papers offer a dose of free speech, a commodity which seems to be dwindling right be­ fore our eyes. �Why Yes on 174 Freedom to choose is one of our nation’s founding principles. Choice in education is no different. Neither the California nor U.S. Constitutions state that your child must attend a public (gov­ ernment) school. Parents have the right to send their child to a school of their choosing, not the government’s choos­ ing. Prop. 174 gives them that choice without having to pay twice. Public schools receive funding based on attendance. Fewer bodies, less fund­ ing. Prop. 174 would provide incentive to make government schools more com­ petitive with private schools, ultimately benefitting the child. The voucher pro­ gram in Milwaukee is a huge success with more parental involvement, better attendance and marked improvement in the children’s performance, not to men­ tion safer schools. A Cambridge Univer­ sity study showed government schools (K-12) spend approximately $6,000 per student, twice the amount spent by pri­ vate schools. Most of the money ends up in the pockets of bureaucrats and politi­ cians, not in your child’s classroom. The savings to taxpapyers in the longrun is in excess of $7.6 billion by 2000. The voucher system would slow down demand to build more public schools. California taxpayers cannot be burdened with more taxes in an economy that is already the worst in the nation. In a university such as this, I am told that appreciation of diversity is a goal. It is strikingly odd that homogeneity of education, not diversity of views, is what proponents of Prop. 174 seek. Govern­ ment schools create more government sheep. Diversity of education would guarantee that no one view would pre­ vail. Prop. 174, while not the perfect an­ swer, since government strings are still attached, is a step in the right direction.

Already plagued by an effective tax rate of 61% (income tax, property tax, sales tax etc.), California taxpayers should not be asked to pay more. Instead, government should be made more accountable and less wasteful. Government should take a lesson from private enterprise. In a bearish economy such as this, the private sector is sizing down, becoming more efficient. So too, government efficiency and accountability should be the priority, not raising taxes. The most recent 1/2 cent sales tax was unlawfully collected. The State conve­ niently forgot to get the required number of votes. Until three Libertarians took the matter to court and won, the State had collected some $300 million dollars of taxpayer money illegally. Give the government more of your money—not a wise idea. a " 5! Prop. 172 wants to raise the sales tax another half cent. 60,000 Jobs have been lost in San Diego County alone because of the state of the economy. High taxes, over-regulation and an excessive government waste and corruption are to blame. Californians cannot afford another tax. Every halfcent sales tax increase started as an emergency. In time, politicians always found excuses to make these temporary "emergency" taxes a permanent fixture. Taxes have never produced the intended results. Tax money spent on welfare only increased the amount of welfare recipients. Tax money spent fighting the war on drugs has neither diminished the supply nor the demand for illegal drugs. The more tax money spent on public education, the worse its gets and so on. President Clinton admitted when questioned by a San Diegan that the _ �Disenchanted Moviegoers Tend to Stay at Home By Peter Gorwin Critic-At-Large Theater chains pull good movies in favor of running poor movies. Such management decisions ultimately alienate discerning patrons who choose to seek alternatives at their local video stores. It would seem that the upper echelon management of these big chains isn’t interested in maintaining an audience of discerning viewers. They run movies which have the strongest public appeal, a simple case of supply and demand. If longer-running movies lack any artistic merit, management will tell you that the public has been to blame for not patronizing the better movies. These big chains play games with their movies, similar to the ratings games which T.V. broadcasting companies have been playing with viewers for years. Increasingly, the declining ambience of these theaters has begun to alienate demanding viewers also. For example, one might naively think exorbitant box office prices would ensure a respite from invasive commercials, but often viewers are bombarded with a cavalcade of local advertisement which flash on the screen long before the feature begins. Theater owners will tell you that they barely can make ends meet, and that they need the added revenue from these local advertisers to grease their wheels. Demanding suburban viewers may hate the way the size of their viewing screen has decreased with the completion of each new theater complex. Some of these viewers remember a time when they could escape their weekly worries by watching a feature on a sweeping, panoramic screen. In justifying the reduced size of their theater screens, large theater chains point to the high cost of real estate which has forced them to optimize their space; smaller screens enable them to run their movies simultaneously, increasing their revenue. Nonetheless, smaller screens will prove to be a monumental blunder as television resolution begins to eclipse the images seen on theater screens: film buffs won’t want to go to watch a small screen at a theater with poor ambience, when they can rent a movie for their sharp screens at home. The issue of ambience brings us to what may best be described as the ignoramus problem, people who have never learned the proper etiquette for watching a movie. After nicely asking a talking ignoramus to be quiet with no significant satisfaction, some viewers would like to be able to find an usher to complain to, but there are usually none to be found. The management’s apparent reluctance to take a pro-active stance in this area again alienates the discerning viewer. After all, a good movie deserves the The 1Joy Luck Club" 1 —A Skillful Adaptation of Novel to Film By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Hollywood has discovered the literary world anew. Recent film adaptations of bestselling novels such as Jurassic Park, The Firm and Damage have inspired pro­ ducers and studio executives to head for their local bookstores in search of a quick buck. It is tempting to dismiss director Wayne Wang’s Joy Luck Club as just another example of the Hollywoodization of popular fiction. The bestselling novel by Amy Tan obviously created a strong base of fans and the complex, interwoven tale of Chinese mothers and daughters would be easy to turn into a crowd-pleasing, formulaic tear-jerker. Surprisingly, the filmakers have for the most part resisted the temptation to saccharize Tan’s rich book and have in turn produced an honest, if a bit flawed, film. The skill of Tan’s novel was in the for­ mat—a loosely connected series of recollec­ tions and memories by a circle of Chinese same attention as a good book. Even the sloppy projection of a movie may alienate discerning viewers. At certain theaters, the person hired to run the projector seems to have been carefully chosen for his adeptness at throwing the projector out of focus or focusing the film so that the image overlaps the screen by a couple of feet. Patrons pay to see the entire frame, not part of it. this also places the viewer in the bind of missing part of the film while they run out to the lobby to complain to a manager who also can never be found. Where do these managers and ushers hide? Personally, I look forward to the year 2020 when we will be watching movies on theater screens the size of postage stamps and paying forty dollars to get in. It will be obligatory for the film to be projected slightly out of focus, and there will be forty-five minutes of commercials before the feature even begins. Everyone will engage in loud and active conversation throughout the entire feature. Nobody will care about watching the film anyway because every movie that these big chains run will be just plain awful. And by this time, all of the small theater owners who used to take some pride in the movies they ran will have been put out of business —- a sad day for the purists who used to love going to the movies. mothers and daughters. Each character's mys­ tery and history is slowly peeled back through the course of the narrative, ultimately reveal­ ing a rich mosaic of loss and regret and beauty and strength. The miscommunication and generation gaps that plague the mother-daugh­ ter relationships are slowly patched but never truly resoved. The novel’s structure is almost impossble to translate to the screen, but Tan and coscreenwriter Ronald Bass make a valiant ef­ fort. There is a heavy use of flashback and voice-over narration and director Wang does a skillful job of weaving in and out among the various stories with little confusion. But film is a fundamentally different medium than literature, and the loose structure that Tan employed so skillfully is not quite as power­ ful here. The language of the book was a significant part of it’s beauty, and despite the extensive narration, that effect is lost in film. That said, the film is quite successful on its own terms. The stories are told slowly and with great respect for the audience. Nothing is quick or easy, and the perfor­ mances by the mostly unknown cast bring out the sadness and beauty of the charac­ ters. The heartbreaking and magical stories are for the most part not played for easy sentiment or quick tears. In that respect, Tan and Wang have abandoned the easy, sentimental route to box office success and preserved the dignity and power of the �Mose Allison in Concert October 24 Mose Allison, the legendary Missis­ sippi Delta blues singer, songwriter, and pianist, will give two concerts on the CSUSM campus as part of its Arts and Lectures Series. Mose will per­ form songs from his 20 albums which span 50 years, including his Grammywinning album, Ever Since the World Ended. Mose John Allison, Jr. was bom in 1927 on the Mississippi Delta. He received piano lessons as a small child, but quit as soon as he discovered he could play by ear. He played tmmpet in marching and dance bands and started making up his own songs. In the early 1960s, as the Mose Allison Trio began to get more work, he found that writing his own songs was essential both as a means of expression, and as a practical matter of expanding his repertoire. His music was inspired by listening to old pop tunes, country and western songs, and composers like Bartok, Ives, Hindemith, and Ruggles. The process of fusing these diverse elements into a cohesive performance continues today. Meanwhile, Mose re­ corded more than 20 albums; performed all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia and wrote about 100 songs. Some of these songs were recorded by The Who, The Clash, The Yardbirds, Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, and oth­ ers. His album, Lessons in Living, was nominated for a Grammy in 1983, and Ever Since the World Ended won a Grammy in 1989. Concerts will be in Academic Hall, Room 102 on Sunday, Oct. 24 at 3 PM and 5 PM. Admission will be $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore, or by calling the bookstore at 752-4730.

Many people are rediscovering these estab­ lishments and filling them to capacity eve­ nings and weekends. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, coffeehouses were an im­ portant element of the Beat Generation, a counter-cultural movement that began dur­ ing this era. The renewed interest in aspects of counterculture has also been reflected here at CSUSM. This fall, the history de­ partment offered an unusual class studying the counterculture movements of Beats, Hippies, and Punks. This class examines the radical counterculture movements that oc­ curred in the United States following WWII. Professor Jill Watts, who teaches His­ tory 430C, created this class based on previ­ ous students’ ideas and interests. While teaching a general history course, she dis­ covered that her students became veiy inter­ ested in the small amounts of American counterculture she included. Students wanted to know more about these move­ ments and what happened to them. Watts developed the class to answer these questions and fulfill CSUSM’s requirements of race, class and gender. She acknowledged that CSUSM encourages the development of new classes that explore unanswered ques­ tions. While other campuses may offer classes that examine Beats and Hippies, this class is unique because it links the Punk movement with the two earlier groups and establishes the connection between all three. American counterculture emerged after WWII as America marched into the Cold War under the cloud of McCarthyism. The chilling prospects of a devastating nuclear war seemed imminent. However, a rebellion against these conditions began to develop in the 1950s led by writers Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Known as the Beat Generation, these writers confronted the conformist and militaristic attitude they perceived dominated American society. As popular culture began to develop an interest in the Beat Generation, or what they By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer The burgeoning coffeehouse culture has left hardly a street comer untouched. Previously bland and conservative communities have been invaded by pseudo avant-garde, cutting edge caffeine shelters for disaffected middle-class teenagers who need a place to sulk and show off their flannels and tattoos. In the face of a Java invasion that can leave one swearing off cappuccino forever, the Hill Street Coffeehouse stands out as an espresso oasis. Positioned unassumingly in the middle of Oceanside’s notorious Hill Street, the yellow termed “beatniks,” the counterculture move­ ment spun into a new form of rebellion. The Hippies emerged in the 1960s operating with a different style, but still rejecting main­ stream American society. Watts claims that the rebellion apparent in the Beats and Hip­ pies was also apparent in the Punk movement of the early 1980s. Like many previous students, CSUSM stu­ dents find Watts’ class on counterculture interesting. Kathleen Rohan, one of her students, said, “This class interested me because I never knew anything about those groups.” Many students remember the stereotypical beatnik portrayed by Maynard G. Krebs in “Dobie Gillis.” This image contrasts sharply with the individuals studied in Watts’ class. Rohan observed, “In thattime period,Ididn’trealize there were people out there confronting is­ sues so harshly.” Professor Watts says that while the study of counterculture provides important insight into post WWH American society, it also is quite relevant to contemporary society. Watts Victorian style house at first seems out of place. Once inside the coffeehouse gates, however, it’s like a different world. It may seem a contradiction, then, that anybody would choose to open up a cafe appeal­ ing to customers seeking conversation and relaxation in such an area. Hill Street has long been associated with prostitution and crime, and the city’s recent redevelopment efforts have had little success in changing that image. In a strange way, though, it all works. The coffee­ house provides a kind of escape for anyone looking f ora break away from the grunge and grime of the world outside, and in turn the peacefulness of the environment inside makes one look at Hill Street in a different light. It certainly is the last place anybody would expect to find a haven for culture, and in many ways that surprise is what gives this coffeehouse its charm. There is an engaging, literate feel to the coffee shop that is conducive to both intelligent discussion and quiet studying. The academic environment is said, “We are coming off the 1980s, a time of materialism and conformity.” The 1990s are proving to be quite different. Watts added that the new generation faces job scarcity and limited mobility. These condi­ tions have led to the disenchantment of many American youths. Rohan echoed this feeling. “People are looking and question­ ing the government and society’s values. They’re wondering if we’re doing the right thing.” Counterculture can be disturbing; it op­ poses conventional society. However, the renewed interest in these movements may reveal a type of admiration. As Rohan stated, “I kind of envy the beats, hippies and punks, and the way they could go to the extreme.” The members involved in coun­ terculture were not afraid to speak out against the accepted system. The courage to freely express oneself earns some measure of re­ spect. most intense duringthe daytime hours when t establishment is less populated. Weekend nights tend to bring an invasion of high school kids and other such cretins looking fora cool place to hang out, but the ambiance is still pleasant. The White Out, a palette pleasing blend of espresso, hazelnut flavoring and white hot chocolate is the hottest ticket on the menu. New Zealand Sunnyslopes tea is also recommended. Musicians often perform weekends on the pleasant back patio and the works of local artists decorate the walls. It is especially pleasing to see this kind of dedication to the local art scene in the face of the increasing commercialization of the coffeehouse Zeitgeist. Mike and Ross, the owners of the coffeehouse, are obviously not in this busi­ ness to exploit a trend and make a fast buck. They are genuinely friendly people who care about the state of their community and have provided that community with a welcome boost. �S TILL NEED F I N A N C I A L A I D ?
