We are o ver o ur t arget enrollment substantially. ·Without m aking a ny r ecruiting efforts, students nonetheless found o ut a bout us by word o f mouth o r reading stories. They came in and .made their applications and we did have to close applications. Sorry about that, but we didn't want to tell a bunch o f people 'no.' We d idn't c lose i t q uickly enough because now we will have, in a sense, ' way over our full time equivalent target. I sn't o ver-enrollment a c ommon t hread t hroughout all universities? I s uppose the phenomenon o f s tudent interest indicates the basis for the university in the frrst place, and that there is a strong d emand f or f our-year upper-division experience here in North County.

Yet, o ver the next few decades landmovers and jackhammers will b e w orking overtime t o c reate a high tech campus with a style o f a 14th century Italian village.

T he first phase o f the project will b e c ompleted for the fall 1992 semester at a c ost o f $47.5 million. Buildings w ill include a laboratory building, commons, a lecture hall a nd t he $15 million William A. Craven administration building. According t o A lbert Amado, assistant vice president for Physical Planning and Campus Construction, students entering the campus in '92 w ill s ee a nd feel the campus's architectural statement immediately. "We will make a major entry statement and a statement o f quality and outside openness," said Amado. " We s houldn't wait until the last phases to create an atmosphere." Amado said the Mediterranean village concept o f the architecture c ame about only after the concept o f the campus was reviewed. To reduce pedestrian circulation time, buildings will b e condensed into an easily accessible formation. All buildings will have maximum widths o f 5 0 feet and will rise a minimum o f four stories, thereby creating the feeling o f a condensed, Italian-village. "In trying to respect the terrain, we get a Mediterranean sense. The campus will resemble a crested Italian hill town," said Amado. On t he Cover Craven Hall, the first "feature".. building o f the new campus is scheduled for completion in the fall o f 1992. The building, named after Stated Senator William A.

Through television, viewers have passed judgment on everyone from Patty Hearst to John DeLorean. Videotape has given us a free pass to the private lives o f public figures and officials, and all i n the name o f news. But we, as a nation o f voyeurs, seldom see the whole picture. O n s uch sensationalistic programs as ' C urrent Affair' o r ' Inside A E dition' viewers only see tapes o f e vents that have been edited t o maximize the drama o f events. Even, and especially, news broadcasts use footage to draw viewers in and increase ratings. Unfortunately, the viewing audience ultimately sees footage that does not always correctly depict events a t hand. I n the case o f R ob Lowe, for instance, America watched a tape that allegedly depicted the actor having sex with a minor from Atlanta. I t w as e asy t o pass immediate j udgment o n L owe d ue to the explicit nature o f the tape alone. B ut w hat most o f the American public does not realize, is that the video, shown so liberally across the airwaves, d id n ot actually depict Lowe and the Atlanta minor. What it really showed was Lowe with a woman in Paris. T he tape found its way to the media only after allegations about Lowe and the m inor arose. N onetheless; L owe was tried and convicted b y a n audience o f millions with a tape that did not depict the event in question. Morally, L owe's s exual exploits were repugnant, b ut t hey made for good viewing. O n J une 28, America had the opportunity o f passing judgment on yet another public person; Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry. F or 10 minutes, viewers saw the official lift a pipe to his lips and smoke crack cocaine. W hat t he public d idn't see were the other 73 minutes o f videotape. Only o ne station, Fox owned WTI'G, aired the complete tape. As a result, viewers saw only a partial picture o f a man driven by power and influence to perform vile illegal acts. The complete version o f the tape depicted the tragic drama o f a man more obsessed with sex than with drugs. I n f act, B arry's c laim o f e ntrapment by the Federal Bureau o f I nvestigation may n ot b e entirely invalid in light o f the entire tape. During most o f the footage, Barry made countless sexual advances to LARRY BOISJ OL E Ll E DITOR-IN-CHIEF m odel a nd f ormer g irlfriend R asheeda M oore. I t a ppears that t he m ayor w as l ured i nto using the drug by M oore a s a form o f foreplay. s uch Obviously, b ehavior a s s moking crack w arrants t ermination f rom office, b ut e ven B arry deserves a fair trial in the viewers' court. With sensationalistic videotape, comes sensationalistic hype. A s s oon as news o f t he B arry tape was made public, a tremendous uprising in the black community arose. Claims were b rought forth stating that Barry was singled o ut for the investigation due to his color. This ludicrous outcry probably would not have occurred h ad t he tape not existed. B ut the pinnacle o f sensationalism created by video journalism invites outside groups i nto t he vortex o f m edia h ype, creating more confusion than clarity. As a method o f information dissemination, television has always had a bad reputation. T he practice o f heavily editing videotape for use i n news broadcasts only adds to its poor standing. T o complicate matters further, many news stations offer significant' cash rewards for newsworthy videos. This practice invites would-be treasure hunters, armed with the family cameras, to hunt for news. F or t he most part, the general public has little o r n o formal training in finding and accurately portraying newsworthy events. F raud i s invited and actually encouraged, as in the case o f R ob Lowe. I f news stations broadcast taped footage, they should investigate the material f or accuracy. I f i t i s f ound that the footage i s i ndeed newsworthy and useful, it should be aired only in its entirety, o r n ot a t all. T he p ractice o f e diting f or e ntertainment is dangerous to t he reputations o f p eople and damaging To the integrity o f a legal system which operates on the premise that all men are i nnocent until proven guilty.

A THOUGHT: "Mere opinions, in fact, were as likely to govern people's actions as hard evidence, and were subject to sudden reversal as hard evidence could never be." Kurt Vonnegut, in 'Galapagos' R onald Reagan stated a sarcastic truth a t t he dedication o f t he n ew Richard Nixon Library: " Much h as been written and said a bout R ichard Nixon; s ome o f i t h as even been true." B ut f urther truth lies in the fact that the c orrect a nd a dmirable aspects o f R ichard Nixon a re t he very aspects that the media appears hesitant to print. Positive ideas do not make entertaining press. Through media hyperbole, the history o f N ixon's administration has b een c louded. Instead o f r ealizing the vast achievements that Nixon accomplished, many people today are led to believe that only corruption and mismanagement littered his administration. While the press seems only to emphasize the supposed "scandal" o f Watergate, Richard N ixon a ccomplished m uch d uring h is Presidency. Possibly N ixon's m ost s ignificant a nd talked about achievements lie in his decision to open relations with the Soviet Union and China. H olding a r ecord a s a s trict a nticommunist, Nixon was able to commence talks with the S oviet U nion which led to START, the first real m ove t o p olice t he nuclear race. Although this reduction treaty was no band-aid for U.S.-Soviet relations, it did create a course for increased cooperation that carried us to the more relaxed position we hold with the Soviet Union today. Furthermore, Nixon recognized t he danger o f l eaving t he S oviet U nion a s t he o nly dominate force in Asia; therefore, he worked to patch o ur r elations with C hina t hrough actions that improved political and economic relations between our countries. R ichard N ixon b rought t he American i nvolvement i n t he V ietnam War, which killed 47,319 U.S. citizens, to a logical and redeeming conclusion. T RACY WILSON G UEST C OLUMNIST In addition, Nixon introduced people into his administration such as Henry Kissinger, William Safire, P atrick Buchanan, and Alan Greenspan who sill act as important political figures today, while another individual who Nixon saved from oblivion and sent to the United Nations is now our President. While t he l iberal press would have u s believe that civil rights advancements are the p rize o f D emocrats a nd t he s corn_ o f R epublicans, t he c onservative N ixon c ontradicted their stereotype and worked to further r ights i n t his area. According to P atrick B uchanan, S pecial C onsultant t o N ixon, m oney a llotted t o c ivil r ights e nforcement rose 800 percent to $600 million during his first term. Furthermore, he set a record b y r aising federal e mployment o f minorities from 14.1 percent to 19.5 p ercent B ut possibly Nixon's greatest achievement i s t he b rilliant way he e scapes p olitical suicide, never allowing the media to c remate o r bury the ashes o f his last public action. Nixon's positive effects o n o ur c ountry w ere n ot s evered b y Watergate. N ixon resurrected from a political deathbed to again involve himself in today's society. Recently, he visited China, where he delivered a harsh message in regard's to the TiannemanS quare massacre. Unlike many past political leaders, N ixon n ever d id a nd s till d oesn't a ccept h onoraria for speeches and asked for n o fee f or h is C hina v isit. F urthermore, h e c ondemned any effort on the b ehalf o f t he Chinese to exploit and televise his visit for t he f ear that he might appear as i f h e condoned the g overnment's behavior. Today w e s ee figures like Barney Frank, a c ongressman e vidently " unaware" o f t he h omosexual whorehouse that operated from his home, receive only a "reprimand" and a s lap o n t he h and from a press w ho s eems willing to forgive any impropriety o f a fellow liberal. H e m ost likely faces re-election. I n t he past, Nixon's unquestionably less severe acts led to a cannibalistic feast on his political life and Presidential honor. T he m edia h eld t he banquet. R ichard N ixon n ever c heated t he government, never accepted unfair funds, a nd w as n ever p roved t o h ave o rdered t he Watergate burglary o r k nown o f it; N ixon's o nly folly was a lack o f foresight which led t o i naction, concealment, and t he r eluctance t o a dmit a mistake at the crucial time i t occurred. I n r etrospect, it is important to n ote t hat i f N ixon h ad in a timely manner c ame t o t he p ublic with the truth, he would have fmished his term, leaving Watergate as a dead issue. While the liberal press would say that this very inaction can successfully overshadow all the good o f the Nixon administration, history will prove that it c annot R egardless o f t heir e fforts, R ichard N ixon's opponents have failed to reduce his political actions i nto a p ile o f s moldering ashes. In N ixon's own words: " So l ong as I have a breath i n m y body . .. I a m n ot going to keep my mouth s hut" H e has risen. TRACY WILSON is Opinion Editor for Palomar College's student newspaper, The Telescope. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Student government would open doors T homas Jefferson once said, " If I c ould have a government without the press, o r a press without the government, I would prefer the latter." Currently, Cal State San Marcos is experiencing the latter form and what has resulted is far from preferable. Jefferson did not advocate a p ress without a government society. What he did advocate was a society with both amenities. T he p ress and the government are like Siamese twins, joined each a t the f ist Whereas each appears to b e fighting with the other, both are joined in the fight for the same cause . .. the betterment o f society. Even a t the microcosmic level o f a u niversity (in comparison to state and federal governments), government serves a vital function. A student government would o pen d oors for clubs, activities, student representation in Governing Board meetings and even for a college-supported newspaper.

Three shows staged · area in JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Starlight Opera's presentation o f ' Jesus Christ Superstar' could be considered the second coming o f Andrew Llyod Webber. As composer o f a dozen musicals, Webber has gained recent success with his production o f ' The Phantom o f the Opera,' released in 1988. He is also admired for ' Cats' (1980) and 'Evita' (1978). But lately little attention has been given to his first, complete work. T hat d idn't stop director James Rocco from directing Webber's 1970 score o f 'Jesus Christ Superstar.' The performance, playing through Sept. 9, proves that the biblical son o f G od is alive today. The story follows the last seven days o f Jesus Christ. However, instead o f portraying Jesus as a God, Webber casts him as a man with the entire performance viewed through the eyes o f Judas. Bible critics might complain here, because Judas is the one who betrays Jesus. So, even though the story is pretty biblically accurate,· Judas's story doesn't shed a bright light on Jesus. Jesus is portrayed by Amick Byram. He truly becomes the superstar o f the show, not only for his role, but'because o f his fantastic performance. Byram comes to the Starlight after his run with 'Les Miserables' a t the Schubert 'Theatre in Los Angeles, where he played the l ead His performance o f Jesus the man was more than convincing, and his performance o f J esus the superstar was astonishing and heart-pounding. T he m an who challenges his action throughout the play is portrayed by Jessi Corti. His role o f Judas is the first solo voice to b e heard in the production with "Heaven on their Minds" and he defmitely sets the standards for the rest o f the show. He has a wide vocal range as well as a diversity is h is acting emotions and actions.

That is the question being asked by a group o f Cal State San Marcos students and faculty wishing to create a literary journal for the university. The project, spearheaded by English major Regina John, would create a magazine comprised o f short stories, poems, photographs and artwork by CSUSM students. John said the thrill o f having o ne's own original works published has inspired her to create ajournal for CSUSM. "I was first published in the journal Tide pools a tMiraCosta College," John said. " I thought we needed to start things here." Already, with the help o f English Professors Pat Boni and James Mack, John has informally compiled a list o f about a dozen students for the project. According to Mack and Boni, other students not on the list expressed interest in the publication. Six members o f the group, comprised principally o f English majors, held their first meeting Wednesday a t B oni's home to discuss plans on how to make the journal a reality. " I had a feeling there was a lot o f positive energy about this project," said Mack about the meeting. " It will definitely be a focal-point for English and Humanities majors."· English major Jennifer Eagle, who attended the meeting, said the informal gathering helped to affirm the goals o f the journal. "This is not just a mere fantasy. W e're determined to make it a reality," Eagle said. Eagle indicated that she would like to submit a short story to the journal. Other students who were notable to attend the meeting expressed enthusiasm for the project. Elaine Whaley, who is majoring in English, said she hopes to submit 1990-91 budget examined A projected operating cost o f $ 10 million and an adjusted budget o f $8.8 million, has left CSUSM officials pondering how they are going to reducetheresulting$1,231, 783 shortfall in the 1990-91 general budget. A t the September 13 University Council meeting, a proposed spendingreduction package was presented. $454, 681, being spent o n p art-time faculty salaries, library books and faculty work stations, will b e transfered from the general budget to the Lottery a ccount Another $372, 086 in expenditures for computers, furniture, and library shelving and books will be transfered to a different fund. T he largest group o f reductions will c ome from cuts in the public . relations and institutional research dir ectors's spring budgets, shrinking spring funding o f part-time faculty positions, and absorbing cost associated with the science lab. T he n et effect o f the cost saving measure will leave the campuswith a cushion o f $ 17, 127. written works as well as participate in the editing process o f the journal. Whaley helped to edit a journal published by Seattle's Shoreline Community College. Submissions for the journal will be chosen by students in regards to content alone and will not be judged in regards to the contributor's name or previous publishing experience. Authors' names will be separated from the works during the selection process. Even though student enthusiasm about the project has been high, John said she is still unsure o f where funding for the journal will come. To help get advice for the funding o f the project, John will meet with the CSUSM's President, Bill Stacy, tomorrow. Professor Boni said they will not discount the option o f selling th e journal. At the next meeting o f the group, scheduled for Sept. 24, members of an editorial board are expected to be selected during the gathering. " What we need is a board where integrity is maintained. W e must keep our intellectual and moral integrity in regards to works chosen for th e journal," said Boni. Mack said the group decided at Wednesday's meeting to democratical! y make decisions regarding the publication. He said the journal should make an important external statement o f what is occurring on the campus. "All English instructors should want to get a finger in the pie," he said. A name for the journal has not yet been decided, but participants want it to reflect the theme o f ' a new beginning.' Boni said the group has high expectations for the journal's quality. " We would love our journal to be the best in the country," said Boni. "Nobody sets up by saying, ' We want a mediocre journal."' 7\ BUDGET SUMMARY BUDGET BALANCING GOVERNOR'S BUDGET Estimated cost to run CSUSM for the 1990-91 year PROJECTED DEFICIT .. ........ .. -$1 ,231 ,783 Salaries .... .............. $6,903,586 Salary Savings .... ...

NEWS 3 S tudent government forums scheduled; task force initiated In an effort to build a student government at Cal State San Marcos, two open forums, providing information for government-interested students, are scheduled to air concepts and begin painting a picture o f how student representation will look in the months to come. " It's important to mold a student government to m eet the needs o f the CSUSM campus," said Sandra Kuchler, the assistant dean o f student affairs who is helping to organize the forums. Kuchler said that since rapid growth is scheduled for CSUSM USM, it is important to create a student government that can grow with the college. To help facilitate the process o f forming a body o f student representation, CSUSM President Bill Stacy is organizing a S tudent Government Task Force to develop plans and review options for the fall term. Dean o f S tudent Services Ernest Zomalt was asked by Stacy to chair the task force. Zomalt and Sociology Professor Therese Baker will nominate two faculty members to serve on the task force. The forums, scheduled Sept. 27 at noon and 7 p.m. in Room 9 Building 145, will provide students with additional information regarding the structure o f the task force, its meeting times, calendar o f activities and reporting deadlines. "The forum will serve as a general explanation o f what is going on," Kuchler said. According to Kuchler, interested students can serve on committees to aid the task force in their mission. In order to solicit student involvement, a survey for students has been sent through the mail. With this survey, students can indicate committees in which they are interested. Student committees include: Associated student government Clubs and organizations Student regulations Student newspaper CSUSM yearbook Committee to develop a campus community statement Academic senate committees A brief statement describing experience, attributes and interests is required with the survey. According to Kuchler, student recommendations will be made from information gathered in the survey. " We want to look at different kinds o f governmental bodies," said Kuchler. "Perhaps we will have subcommittees to brain storm ideas. Kuchler said student initiative in forming a student government has been good. She said about 30 students responded to a student government survey distributed at orientation.

She considers herself very lucky to be in America at all. For Pavilkova America was an unattainable dream until this year. Pavilkova's homeland is Czechoslovakia. There she attends Charles University (also known as Carlova University) in Prague. Founded in 1348, Charles University is the oldest college in Central Europe. Pavilkova has been in America for about two months, and is studying English at CSUSM to gain a further grasp o f the language. Due to the c ountry's p revious economic and political conditions, Pavilkova's arrival in the U.S. was long in coming.

Some o f the faculty members came from the Midwest; others came from the South; two were born outside the U.S. All came because o f the challenge o f starting a college for the 21st century. Selected from 1,328 applicants for the positions, the founding faculty's members were chosen because o f their demonstrated records in teaching, research, scholarship and creative activities.

An educated person who criticizes without reading up on the issue at hand is an oxymoron. Recently, California State University, San Marcos received its first bit o f academic criticism with the news o f a quartermillion-dollar endowment which would have created a new chairperson for geology. Criticism revolved around conditions for the endowment set forth by its donor Allan Kelly, o f Carlsbad. The endowment carried the stipulation that any professor filling the chair must study and report upon the truth or falsity o f K elly's controversial theory o f impact geology (a theory that claims many o f e arth's geological formations were created by large meteors). The academic community protested, claiming the conditions violated academic freedom and would tum the newly-formed umversity into a laughing stock. CSUSM's President Bill Stacy responded by putting an immediate end to the endowment offer. In the course o f o ne short press conference the issue ceased to exist. Some might assume that Stacy was being tooprotectiveofhis infant university by cutting the generousendowmentoffer, but at this early stage o f development, CSUSM needs all the common sense and care it can get. Stacy acted responsibly and with all the proper instincts o f a wise p arent By rejecting the endowment, Stacy prevented controversy, calmed academic uproar and preserved the college's initial image o f squeaky-cleanness. Whereas Stacy's quick action is to be admired, the quick criticism by the academic community is to b e deplored. Few o f the professors that came forward in the revealing L os Angeles Times article had actually read the conditions o f the endowment. They assumed that CSUSM would become a research pawn for Kelly's unusual theory. STAFF EDITORIAL T hey, o f c ourse, d id n ot r ealize that CSUSM was not obligated to produce e vidence s up- porting K elly's theory. CSUSM would have only been obliged to s et aside a small portion o f time to examine the probability o f the theory and report upon its findings- positive or negative. Kelly, who has committed much o f his life to his theory o f impact geology, simply wanted proper research performed on his ideas. Because he is not a "scientist" or a "scholar," getting a major university to research his theory has been next to impossible. Giving a new university funding to research his ideas was a great way to have his ideas scientifically explored and to help the community as w ell Stacy saw a wonderful opportunity to help his university to grow. With the geology chair that the Kelly endowment would have created, Stacy would have been one quick step closer to CSUSM'ss maturity. He saw the vision o f a new department, more d· versity in the university's educational offerings and a closertie i to the community through the donation. In time faculty approval may not have been forthcoming and the whole endowment issue would have been ended anyway, but nobody will ever know. All that is known is that members o f San Diego's intellectual community struck a blow to education without knowing for what they were fighting. Such actions are expected o f morons but not educated men. Constructive historical significance is the aspiration of anyone seeking greatness. T oday's world is so busy with important events, it may seem impossible to plot for relevance: communism and th e Berlin Wall are falling; the superpowers are quasi-allies; and a c ontemporary Hitler is trapped in his desert hell . What part o f t he big picture, then, is left for all of us to claim? As members o f the vanguard class at Cal State San Marco s, w e are unwittingly on the path o f greatness. Our participating in this entrepreneurial, frrst-in-twenty-years major un iversity makes us leaders in A merica's last empire: educatio n. Additionally, there is a collector' s passion for th e first edition; inevitably, history will refer to us and where we ' ve gone. More specifically, we face the rare capacity to prescribe the future and, indeed, there are many areas where we can make marks on the future o f a m ajor university. Perhaps the most striking detail a t C SUSM is the higher proportion o f w omen, oftentimes referred to as "returning students." More accurately, they are the "current trend." Women pursuing degrees and credentials in higher n umb ers than ever is a microcosm o f t he progress they can seck in society. In recognition o f this mission, a campus-based center highlighting great women (and thereby providing role models) is not gratuitous. Leaders in a rt, science, medicine an d business could comprise such a tribute, with a focus on recent and local subjects. I t's important to note that the Teacher Credential program at CSUSM hosts many o f t omorrow's torches o f learning. Establishing the Department o f Education as a prominent source o f applied research will b e o f p aramount importa nce to the university's profile, and may be seminal in stemming a deluge o f societal ills. On the flipside, Business Education continues to hold intense p opularity and pragmatic p ayoffs. Furthe rm ore, CSUSM is the only state subsidized alternative to SDS U's distant and impacted program. There should be no hesitation to buttress the elements of today' s best business education: writing and problem solving; behavioral management; and international citizenship. T he b est balance to strong professional programs is a broad, liberal arts and science curriculum. All o f the mandates o f higher education get met: intellectual development, communication skills, cross-cultural exposure and appreciation for the human heritage. Finally, there should b e rapid development of a studentbody political process. This will lend momentum to th e school's collective soul and it will give a voice to the univ ersity's " owners." In order to real force in decisions, and no t merely a seminar in parliamentary procedure, there must be built-in administrative and faculty interfaces. All too frequently the disparagement o f the past is a reflection o f " what s hould have been done." W e have been blessed with a pinch in the historical tide and our duty dictates throwing stones twenty years forward. be a D AVID H A MM OND/PIONEER �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1 990/PIONEER OPINION 9 I raqi conflict a nd H itler regime contain deep economic parallels P IONEER 250-2 S.

Call up the reserves. Tell grandpa to dust o ff his Civil Defense helmet. The reincarnation o f old Adolph Hitler is searching for Lebensaraum in the mideast. Journalists and politicians quickly p oint to t he s imilarities between Saddam Hussein's Blitzkrieg into Kuwait and Hitler's takeover o f Czechoslovakia in 1938. But are these masters o f the sound bite and pork barrel too selective in 'drawing parallels between the present stalemate and World War II? Are the leaders o f opinion and industry purposely focusing on the obvious to avoid the revelation o f far deeper and more significant parallels? You be the judge. In March 1942, more than three months after the U.S declared war on Germany and Japan, the senior Senator from Missouri, dedicated to "exposing treasonable arrangements," embarked on a series o f hearings. The target o f these hearings was Standard Oil. With the help o f dirt dug up by Roosevelt's Secretary o f Interior, Senator Harry S. Truman showed that Standard and Farben I.G. (The German industrial trust) had literally carved up the world markets far more efficiently than Hitler and Stalin had vivisected Poland. Oil and chemical monopolies had been established all over the map. The hearings revealed that WilliamS. Farish, then President o f Standard Oil, had refused to send vital patent information to Canada because Canada and Germany were at war. Farish had also refused to supply the U.S. Navy with Standard's newly developed synthetic rubber. Truman even produced cables showing Standard's arrangements with Japan were to continue throughout any conflict or break in trade." What Truman's hearings did not reveal was that the Chairman o f Standard Oil, Walter C. Teagle helped organize the sale o f tetraethyl lead, an essential aviation gasoline additive, to both Germany and Japan during the first two years o f the war. He even "borrowed" 500 tons from Ethyl, the British Standard Subsidiary. Thanks to Teagle, London actually provided the material that made it possible for Hitler's air force t o bomb England. Not only that, through Teagle 'scrcativebook- keeping, the British Royal Air Force "had to pay royalties to Nazi Germany through Ethyl-Standard for the gasoline used to fly Gorging 's bombers that were attacking London. The payments were held in Germany by Farben's private banks for Standard until the end o f the war." While gas lines and rationing were the rule in the U.S. during the war, the U.S. Ambassador to Spain further blew the whistle on Standard when he made the statement on Feb. 26, 1943, that "oil products available in the country o f Spain arc considerably higher than the present per-capita distribution to the people o f the Atlantic Seaboard o f the United States." Culpable as they were o f treason, Standard Oil was in n o way an anomaly. They were joined in their wartime activities by Ford, ITT, the Chase Bank and many others. But again, the object is not to cast blame, but rather to discover whether the parallels between the present "crisis" in the Persian Gulf and World War II run any deeper that the psychological - rofiles o f Saddam Hussein and Adolf p Hitler. The most important question to ask in times o f national crisis may be: w ho's got the most to gain and the least to loose? A trip to the gas pump may provide a clue. Or how about the scarcity o f Fortune 500 CEOs patrolling the Saudi-Kuwaiti frontier? Perhaps they know there's an Iraqi nerve gas canister with their name on it.

Few people are adventurous enough to discover the real treasures found on the peninsula. Below Ensenada, B aja's northernmost state does not only afford an inexpensive getaway from the hustle and bustle o f Californian suburbia, it also offers a paradise for sportsmen and campers. Many Baja enthusiasts mainLain that the only way to really experience this portion o f M exico is not from a hotel room, but from . the awning o f a tent. From there the untamed land can be witnessed first-hand, as it was meant to be witnessed. Baja is rich in camping areas, with each possessing a magic all its own. Most can be reached via the Transpeninsular Highway. :rhis thousand-mile ribbon, cutting down the length o f the peninsula, has opened the wilderness to great numbers o f surfers and R V campers eager for relaxation o r sport. Adventurers will find Baja to be safe, different and very friendly. Roving hordes o f b anditos and gringo-hating Mexican police are more easily found in Mexico mythology than in reality. I f a nything, the inhabitants o f B aja Norte are friendlier than their northern neighbors. Heading southeast from Ensenada on Highway 3, campers can find the fastest route to the Sea o f C ortez and the little town o f S an Felipe. The road heading to San Felipe is a lonely desert stretch passing endless auto graveyards and flat, uncompromising terrain. T he t hree-hour trek ends with the highway a t two giant c ement a rches marking the city o f S an Felipe. At San Felipe the desert meets the crystal blue Sea o f C ortez. Campsites with names like ' Campo P ee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' abound. Virtually all these campos afford dynamic views o f the ocean and are equipped with showers and bathrooms (referred to as W.C.s). M any have hookups for recreational vehicles. Beaches a t S an Felipe are wide with fine, white sand. Water temperatures range in the 90s with lillie o r no harsh currents. In the entire San Felipe bay, the waters are waste deep for about a half a mile out. T he w ater level on the Sea o f C ortez drops a full 3 0 feet during low tide and shell collectors can stroll far out into the bay without gelling wet. This phenomenon affords a remarkable view. O ne gets the feeling o f the landscape o f an alien planet. Strolling into the bay a t low tide can be dangerous, however. Stingrays work themselves under the moist sand and are a pt to sting anyone stepping on o r n ear them. Nights are warm and breezy and are excellent for nature lovers who enjoy sleeping under an endless cloud o f stars. The food in San Felipe is Beautiful rock formations abound in Baja California. At left, a crevice is formed in the cliffs of Bahia de Los Angeles. Exotic shells and stones can be found in these nooks and crannies. fantastic, with shrimp, clams and octopus in great abundance. For $1 b udget gourmets can feast on two shrimp o r fish tacos a t any o f the small street stands. Because San Felipe is a popular hangout a mong college students, nightlife is plentiful and exhilarating. AT C a nd motorcycle riders will find s ome o f the best sand dunes in N orthern Baja j ust south o f the city. Doubling b ack on Highway 3 to E nsenada is t he only way to r eaccess the Transpeninsular Highway, the only paved route heading south. Just below o fEnsenada, near the town o f M aneadera, sightseers can find L a Bufadora; otherwise known as the blowhole. This sea geyser is considered by many Mexicans to be the eighth natural w onder o f t he world. Here waves are compressed through a natural crevice in the cliffs. T he c ompression forces the ocean water 150 feet into the air in a fine spray. With each wave, crowds o f s pectators cheer on the magnificent geyser. Camping near the blowhole is a lso a wonder. Even though campsites a re p rimitive and without running water, the cliffside camps possess magnificent views. For the camper w ho d oesn't w ant to drive too far into Mexico to find a panoramic spot, L a Bufadora is perfect. A few hours south o f L a Bufadora is t he small agricultural village o f S an Quintin. Her lush fields o f e very con_ceivable vegetable fill the eye. Some Mexi. cans claim that the valleys near San Quintin are as rich as California's S an J oaquin Valley: San Quintin also holds the finest beaches in Baja Norte.

Jet skiing on the Sea o f C ortez offers just this kind o f feeling to both amateur thrill seekers and die hard adventure mongers alike. W e found renting a j et ski in San Felipe to b e not only an exhilarating skip with nature, but also safe and comparatively (to American prices) inexpensive. In Mexico one o f the greatest thrills anyone can experience is the thrill o f a great bargain. The exhilaration found haggling for a better price is almost as great as the ride itself. W e found the best bargain to b e with Elvis, a San Felipe local who rents his machine out on a by-the-hour basis. Elvis originally quoted a price o f $ 40 per hour, but through the collective bargaining process we were able to gamer a $30 per . hour r ate- about half the hourly cost o f renting a j et ski in San Diego. Our vehicle was a two-person Kawasaki TS j et ski. The TS A light house (top) stands as a beacon to travelers in San Felipe Bay. Old fishing boats (bottom) clutter the harbor.

A t the end o f this stretch o f desert, the Sea o f C ortez unfolds with its electric blue waters and abundant sea life.

We were able to gain enough speed at one point for both passengers to stand during the ride, but the joy derived from standing on a j et ski comes from the hot blasts o f wind and ocean spray that only high speeds can bring. With only one passenger the j et ski changed from a brokendown truck into a sleek racing machine. The rider truly becomes one with the machine as the vehicle becomes one with the water.

J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER SITTING DOWN: Sitting or croutching on a jet ski allows the rider to cruise with maximum control and minimum effort. This is a good position for viewing the surroundings and gaining rest. STANDING UP: Standing up causes the jet ski to attain higher speeds. In this position, wave-jumping is possible.

"Mexican drivers are crazy." " If your car breaks down in Mexico you die." "All Mexican roads are made o f dirt." "Mexican gas will destroy your engine." For the most part these concerns about driving in Baja California are based on common misconceptions. Driving in Mexico is actually as·easy and as carefree as in the United States. Travelers heading south down the peninsula will find nicely paved roads, plenty o f mechanics and help in case o f an automotive emergency. The first item a gringo driver should take care o f is automotive insurance.

The small village is so isolated that there arc no electrical lines, water pipes or phones. Electricity is provided in some o f the town's stores through a generator and water is trucked in daily. For a fee o f $70, adventurers can rent a 14-foot ponga (a small metal fishing boat) and take a d ay's excursion to the bay's islands. Such a trip should not be missed, as the bay is filled with dolphins, seals and even a gray whale or two. The islands are unpopulated and possess isolated coves idea for snorkeling or sun bathing au natural. They offer a glimpse o f a world untouched by man. Bahia de Los Angeles gives campers an opportunity to be truly one with nature. The best campsite in the entire area is located at a sma ll point at the end o f the bay called Punta La Gringa. Named after American women, who in the past frequented the area to gather shells and rocks, Punta L a Gringa is a veritable showcase o f nature. Here campers can live o ff the fat o f the land with little or no effort. Fish are so abundant in the crystalline bay that all one need d o t o survive is c ast a line out and reel in a bass. Butter clams are so plentiful in the bay that a bucket o f the shellfish can be gathered in less than an hour. Due to the abundance o f bird species, the point is a haven for naturalists, scientists and bird watchers. Blue-footed boobies, identical to those found in the Galapagos Islands, and ospreys share the skies with pelicans and sea gulls. Because o f its isolation, camping at Punta La Gringa has no showers or W.C.s, but for $2 campers can use facilities in the Villa Vitta Hotel, located in the village. Bahia de Los Angeles is only eight hours driving away from San Diego and truly represents Northern Baja to its full capacity. It is a location that any traveler would love. larger cities. Streets in Tijuana and Ensenada can become as congested as Southern California's freeways at rush hour. I f taking an . automobile into the cities is necessary, use defensive driving techniques. Drivers in Mexico are generally not in as much o f a hurry as drivers in the U.S. Be patient i f caught behind a slower driver and adapt to the slow pace rather than cursing it. Highways in Baja are nicely paved and well kept, but at times can be narrow and winding. The Transpeninsular Highway, which spans the length o f the peninsula is the finest Baja has to offer. Roads in small villages or drives leading to isolated hideaways may not necessarily be paved. I f car problems do occur on the highways, a federally-funded service called the Green Angels is provided. T he Green Angels constantly roam the highways in green service trucks. This complimentary service helps stranded travelers with .battery failures, fan belt breakages and whatever easily fixed problem might occur. Travelers should keep extra fan belts, air filters, oil filters a nd w ater on hand for extended journeys into Mexico. Even though the country is filled with qualified mechanics, parts are not always easy to c ome by. Waiting for a fan belt for a Toyota, for instance, could take weeks. Mexican gas is not as clean as the gasoline in the U.S. b ut a welltuned car can function well on it nonetheless. Cars needing unleaded fuel should take the gasoline labeled ' extra.' D ue to the high lead content in the gas, using other than ' extra' g asoline could result in serious damage to the catalytic converter. Gas additives should b e used after three tanks o f M exican gas. A quart o f c ane alcohol, available in Mexican drug o r l iquor stores should b e a dded to free the gas tank o f extra water. T he biggest safeguards for driving problems in Mexico is t o have a well-maintained automobile before the onset o f the journey. Double-check the tires, belts and filters before embarking and no minor problems should arise. witnessed some j et ski aficionados reaching heights o f six feet and attaining a nearly vertical position while airborne.

O NE DAY CRUISES T HE P ERFECT MINI GETAWAY Beating Moctezuma's Revenge Perhaps the biggest factor preven ting Americans from travelling in Me xico is the fear of Moc tezuma's Revenge. The ailment produces such sy mptoms as diarrhea, violent sto mach cramps and cold sweats tha t can tum any dream vacation in paradise into a nightmare in hell. But with a little common sense and a few precautions, travelers can enjoy Mexico ' s grandeur without fear o f the Aztec k ing's curse for gringo s. In order to prevent the ailment, one mu st have an elementary understanding o f the disease's transmission. Moctezuma's Revenge is simply the introduction o f bacteria indigenous to Mexico into the American body. The most common way these strains o f bacteria are introduced is through the drinking o f Mexican water o r the eating o f some food. According to Hidden Mexico, a traveler' s guide to Mexico, not all visitors come down with the illness. It is possible to cat like a king and not suffer any ill side effects. The book offers some suggestions on how to eat in peace: Fruits and nuts with peels are generally safe. Make sure all fruits and vegetables are cleansed with purified water before consumption. Meat, seafood, peeled fruit and drinks served at taco stands should be eaten with discretion. i f great numbers o f flies abound at a particular taco stand, it should be avoided. Food at these tacorias is generally safe and very tasty. G o easy on experimentation. Since many Mexican foods arc very spicy, it is not advisable to mix them too much. Take spicy foods one at a time and in moderate quantities. Drink only bottled water, known in Mexico as agua purifi- cado. A void drinks with ice unless the establishment where they arc served uses bottled water. Do not use tap water for brushing teeth . I fMoctezuma's Revenge does strike than a sparing dose o f Lomotil is advised. Lomotil is a morphine derivative which induces a kind o f intestinal paralysis. It is available all over Mexico and in the United States. Kaopectate or Pcpto-Bismol can reduce the discomfort o f stomach cramps and chamomile tea works wonders at soothing th e stomach. If Moctezuma persists with his torture for more than five days, a visit to a doctor is advised. The most important deterrent to the ailment, however, is attitude. Those who worry most about getting sick in Mexico ultimately are not disappointed. Use Mexico for relaxation and enjoy the great culinary dishes it has to offer.

With only a weekend and a minimal bank account, students can find a paradise o f relaxation only an hour away in Mexico. Those wishing to dance and party all night can find good times waiting for them at Tijuana's Avenida Revolucion. This main artery o f the Mexican border town is filled with Discotheques and flashy bars. Among the most popular and elaborate o f T J' s discos is O H!. OH! is usually packed to the video-lit rafters with fun-seeking college students. Here dancers can boogie the night fantastic to top disco hits. Just o ff Ave Revolucion is the low key nightclub L a B amba. This hole-in-the-wall disco offers contemporary music and their famous tequila poppers. T ijuana T illy's, also on Ave. Revolucion, has a less frenetic atmosphere indigenous to Carlos Anderson establishments. Unusual pictures and paraphernalia adorn the ceiling and walls in this popular gathering place. Tijuana Tilly's serves great food at reasonable prices and is famous for margaritas. Shoppers can find great bargains and a wide variety o f merchandise in the avenu e's many curios shops. Items such as cigarettes and alcohol can be bought for much cheaper prices than across the border. Be advised, however, that United States customs allow only two liters o f alcohol and two cartons o f cigarettes to cross into American territory. Sportsmen will find excitement in Tijuana's unusual spectator activities. Here sports not found in the U.S. are played in dynamic style. The drama and courage o f the bullfights is played every Sunday afternoon a t4 p .m. in the town ' s arena. Bullfighting is a Mexican tradition and should be seen at least once to get a real taste o f culture south o f the border. Bullfighting is as much a part o f Mexican culture as Football is to the culture o f the U.S . with matadors being national heros. J ai Alai is another offbeat sport not found in California. In this high-speed game, players fling a wooden ball at speeds in excess o f 200 miles per hour a t a cement wall. The game is filled with drama and paramutual betting adds to the excitement. Gamblers will love Agua Caliente. Caliente is T ijuana's version o f Del Mar and Hollywood Park. Here horses and dogs race year-round for the pleasure o f betters. South o f Tijuana in the little hamlet o f R osarito, visitors can find more docile forms o f relaxation. The small town is filled with mom and pop taco stands that serve burritos and tortas a t reasonable prices. Rosarito possesses wide, sandy beaches that are perfect for sunbathing and sometimes parasailing. The old Rosarito Beach Hotel is probabl}' the best known spot for sipping a cold, exotic drink and listening to mariachis. Years ago such greats as Lana Turner and Orsen Wells sipped coco locos or tequila sunrises on the old inn's patios. Lodging at the hotel is reasonable by American prices with some rooms containing kitchenettes. All o f the rooms are spacious with newer bungalos costing more money. A few miles south o f Rosarito is the lobster mecca o f P uerto Nuevo. Here dozens o f restaurants serving principally lobster can be found. For $8 a good sized lobster is served Mexican-style with rice and beans. Anyone craving crustaceans will find Puerto Nuevo magnifico. Between Puerto Nuevo and Ensenada lies the d unes o f C antamar. These beachside dunes resemble a scene from ' Lawrence o f Arabia' and are wonderful fodder for ATC riders and motorcyclists. One o f the best restaurants in Northern Baja is the one found at the L a F onda hotel. The restaurant is perched on a cliff overlooking white, sandy beaches. Specialties include lemon pie and lobster. Lodging at the L a Fonda hotel is unique and very romantic. Poems adorn the walls above the beds in some rooms, whereas other rooms resemble a cave. Prices at the hotel are moderate. At the fishing city o f E nsenada, travelers will find a thriving metropolis geared to the tastes o f tourists. Ensenada is known .for its fish taco stands which abound throughout the city. Ensenada is higher-paced than many towns but not nearly as chaotic as Tijuana. By far the most well-known spot in town is H ussong's C antina. This dive bar, reminiscent o f the old west, has wooden tables and floors covered with s awdust At night federales, or state police, are stationed outside the door to keep mayhem at a minimum. Carlos a nd C harlie's bar and grill is another Carlos Anderson creation similar to Tijuana Tilly's. Even though food prices are rather high, Carlos and Charlie's is rich in atmosphere suitable for Americans. Another hotspot in Ensenada is P apas a nd . JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER B eer. Huge baskets o f french fries, potato balls and potato skins are served with a great assortment o f Mexican beer. Ensenada is much less frantic for shoppers with curios shops in great supply. Along with bullfights, Ensenada also has sports fishing and c harreadas, o r rodeos. In S an F elipe, visitors can feast on the town's specialty o f clams and shrimp for pennies on the dollar. One o f B aja's most unusual restaurants is C lam M an's. Diners can munch on buckets o f tasty butter clams and listen to the late clam m an's patented spiel on the contributions o f the clam to the sex drive. Whale bones and dried fish adorn the restaurants decor to create an unusual and rustic atmosphere. Rockodile's is a video bar that reflects the fun o f this small tourist town. One part o f the cantina contains a volleyball net where tournaments are held on weekends. San Felipe is a paradise for sportfishing, windsurfing and j et skiing. The calm, warm water o f the bay is perfect for water sports. Just north o f San Felipe is a string o f gringo-oriented campsites for the more rugged traveler. These campos, with names like 'Campo Pee W ee' o r ' Pop's P lace' have showers, toilets and great ocean views. South ofEnsenada near the town o f Maneadera is the Mexican eighth wonder o f the world, L a B ufadora, otherwise known as the blowhole. La Bufadora is a natural sea geyser that sprays water 150 feet into the air with each lull o f the tide. Watching the phenomenon is free o f charge. At S an Q uintin motorcyclists and ATC riders will find dunes and wide, white beaches with which to test their skills. There are few eating establishments in San Quintin, but Americans can find a safe, hot meal a t the L a P inta resort hotel. L a Pinta rises like an oasis from the dunecovered beach, with reasonable nightly rates and comfortable lodgings. From B ahia d e L os Angeles, nature lovers can marvel in the full spectacle o f the Sea o f Cortez. From this tiny town visitors can rent boats for day-long excursions to the b ay's many islands. Renting a boat, o r ponga, is an essential activity for L.A. Bay visitors. The Bay is filled with dolphins, whales and seals. Fishing can yield such catches as dorado (otherwise known as Mahi Mahi o r dolphinfish), red snapper and bass. The shores o f the bay are rich in clam and oyster beds. �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1 990/PIONEER 15 "WIN TWO TICKETSto Knott's BERRYFARM" DRAWING MAIL THIS COUPON TO: PIONEER, Knott's Drawing 250-2 S.

Cajun Connection food as good as Orleans In the expanding world o f fish restaurants and steak houses, fmding an original and exciting eatery can b e ·a challenge. The Cajun_ Connection, located at 740 Nordahl Rd. in San Marcos, is one fo'sure way to beat the bland blues. I guarantee it. Here is an island o f Louisiana hospitality in an ocean o f fa st food joints. Patrons can listen to the southern sounds o f z ydoko music and munch on Mississippi-area delicacies in a light atmosphere sprinkled with a touch o f elegance. Collegiate Gourmet The food at Cajun Connection is as good as that found in New Orleans itself. From appetizers to desserts, the Collegiate Gourmet found all dishes irresistibly different and stimulating to the palate. I started my meal with an appetizer o f fried alligator. Gator is a tender meat with a very slight musky flavor. Fried with a light, crunchy cornmeal coating and served with a zesty horseradish sauce, the gator has just enough bite to wake up the salivary glands. Another outstanding appetizer is the fried oysters. Once again the cornmeal brings out the best flavors o f the dish. For added pleasure, I found that a touch o f Louisiana hot sauce accents these tender morsels perfectly. Chicken and sausage gumbo is also available fo r those who want a real taste o f New Orleans. Each dinner is served with a simple, green salad and garlic bread. I found the house dressmg to be quite refreshing. With aliberal content o f lemon, this dressing is quite' zesty and very flavorful. From blackened steak to crawfish fettuccini, the menu has S TACEY S MITH /PIONEER Gator Bee r, T abasco sauce and craw fi sh are some of the d e li cacies found at The Cajun Conn ection in San Marcos. At th is restaurant, diners can eat exotic New Orleans-style dishes in an atmosphere brimming with Southe rn c harm. enough diversity in selection to please any diner. On my last trip I tried the frog legs as my main course selection. This delicacy is very tender and possesses a slightly fishy flavor. Served fried with alligator shaped french fries, the frog legs make for a pleasing and light main course that will make you jump for joy. My personal favorite main dish is the catfish courtboullion. This fresh-water fish has a mild taste that is perfect with just a touch oftabasco. It is fried to a delicate crunch, served on a bed o f rice and topped with seasonal vegetables. It is a definite must try! When available, the Cajun Connection also serves a Louisiana-style plate o f crawfish. Not only are these mini-crustaceans flavorful, they are also a great eating adventure. Those diners who enjoy a new and exciting domestic beer will be pleased to find three uncommon brews on the menu. O f the three, Dixie Beer, from New Orleans, has the most pleasing flavor and is a great compliment to the cajun food fare. At all costs avoid the Gator Beer. This Florida brew has a sour offensive bouquet that assaults the senses. Wine lovers will find a pleasing variety o f California white and red varietals. An absolute must-try dessert is the bread pudding. This rich delight is filled with pineapple and golden raisins and is smothered in a warm brown sugar syrup I t is undeniably the best bread pudding in North County. The service is casual but amiable. A t times the owner, and chef, makes personal visits to diners and is always in the mood to s uggest a new and exciting taste creation. Prices are moderate to expensive with dinner for two costing around $45. T he Cajun Connection is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 :30p.m., Saturdays from 3-9:30 p.m. and Sundays from 3-9 p.m. All ;n all, i t's a g reat place to take an adventurous date. Y 'all a re gonna love it. Robert Smith radiates in 'Blue Sunshine' album D AVID H ATCH /PIONEER Cure fans relax! Just when you thought you would need to resort to old recordings, Robert Smith is back as strong and as vague as ever with newly released material and a new band, called The Glove, in his album "Blue Sunshine." This time h e's got help from former "Siouxsie and the Banshees" lead singer Landray. A couple formed in Heaven? I t would seem so. Landray's dis- tinctive and frantic-sounding vocals combined with Smith's dark and often-analyzed lyrics add up to form a very haunting couple. They could very well be the "Addams Family" o f the music world. To analyze lyrics or even point out their symbolisms when dealing with Smith is redundant, redundant, redundant. E verywhere y ou t urn, S mith's lyrics are subjected to intense analysis. Smith has diverged on this recording and performed two instrumental pieces. The first is "Blues in Drag," which concludes the ftrst side o f the album. "Blues" is a song that conjures up images o f a dream sequence, one where SEE A LBUM/PAGE17 �TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1990/PIONEER A CCENT 1 7 Fall season heats up with new video sales P EGGY OSTERLOH/PIONEER As the summer movies dwindle to a small flame, the video retail market prepares for a blazing hot fall season.

NEWS 3 Japanese company donates college's largest endowment In an effort to help create international understanding in the North County Community, a Japanese firm, last week announced the creation of a $500,000endowment toCal State San Marcos, to establish an annual international festival. The endowment is the largest gift to CSUSM to date. At an evening reception held Sept. 25 and attended by 500 area business and community leaders, Yoshihiko Kawamura, president of Itoman & Company, Ltd., presented a check for $50,000 to CSUSM's President Bill Stacy, representing the first annual increment to fund the Itoman International Festival at CSUSM. The yearly international festival will promotepublic understanding of Japanese and other nations' business and culture. "We are becoming ä global economy and must prepare future generations of leaders to operate in an international environment," Kawamura said when presenting the initial $50,000 check to Stacy.

Craven Hall bids under budget $ 14 million offer s ets s tandards L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With an offer that was $ 1.4 million under budget, Cal State San Marcos last week closed bidding to contractors for Craven Hall, the first "feature" building to be constructed at the permanent campus. Bidding for contractors closed at 2 p.m. last Tuesday, with all 11 contractors bidding below the $ 15.8 million budgeted for the building. "This is something I have never heard of before," said Albert Amado, assistant vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction. The apparent low bidder for the project was Bodell Construction, of Architect's rendering of Craven Hall. Salt Lake City, Utah. Bodell placed a bid of $14,325,000, less than 1 per- $15,597,000.

Students who had been previously afflicted with the diseases need not provide proof of immunization, but must produce documentation of having had theailments. The documentation must be from a licensed physician. "A lot of students c an't find rec- ords, however, it is safe to reimmunize," says Dr. Joel Grinold, chief physician of S tudent Health Services. According to Grinold, many students, that think they have previously had the diseases, may be mistaken. He says there are a number of viruses that cause rash illnesses similar to mumps, measles and rubella. "Measles in adults is a much more serious illness than in children," Grinold says. Grinold says that adults may experience ear problems, pneumonia and encephalitis as well as rash and fever as a result of the diseases. In addition, pregnant women may experience complications, and mumps is aknown cause of sterility in adult males. To illustrate the importance of immunization, Grinold gives the example of University of Southern California quarterback, Rodney Peefe. Two years ago Peete came down with a case of the measles toward the end of the football season. When USC went to the Rose Bowl, nearly half the team was afflicted with the disease. According to Grinold, many people born between ' 57 and ' 68 may not have received their vaccinations correctly. ' The practice years back was to give the vaccination at 12 months. At that age there is a great possibility that the vaccine won't take,"Grinold says. Even though the vaccine is better now than in previous years, Grinold says there is still a 5 percent chance the vaccine will b e ineffective. Grinold claims that the vaccine is notamedium for AIDS transmission^ so students do not need to fear immunization. "The vaccine is not made from blood products, so there is no risk of AIDS. Student Health Services also uses sterile technique (when admini- stering the shots)," Grinold says. The vaccine is administered free of charge in Student Health Services. Appointments are necessary for students wishing to be immunized. The California State University system requires that all students produce documentation of immunization after one semester of classes. Students can waiver the requirement if it conflicts with religious or personal beliefs. However, if a student does waiver the immunization and an outbreak SEE S HOTS/PAHF r BIDS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 will then be sent t o the Chancellor's Office of the California State University system for approval. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the s econd l owest b idder,Taylor Woodrow Construction. Amado said he thinks the low bidding will continue through more projects. "There is no questions that bids will come in lower," he said. "(The building industry) has slowed down, there's not as many projects to bid f or." Amado said the construction industry is now experiencing a "low spot" in business that may last up to three years. He said the competitive nature of the market contributed to the low bids. "A $15 million project can really help a contractor make it through the rough spots," said Amado. In the meantime, Amado said he thinks the beiow-budget Craven Hall bids will be reflective of the tone of future projects. "The budget was put together five years ago," said Amado. " It was anybody's guess where the industry or economy would go." Due to a recession in the building industry, a record number of plans were issued to contractors and subcontractors. According to Amado, 280 sets of the plans, at $300 per set, were distributed. The money is refundable upon return of the drawings. Officials in the Cal State Chancellor's Office said the number of plans sold represents the largest number of plans issued for a Cal State campus. H ie 146,000 square-foot building will be thefirstfeature building on the new campus. The lower two floors of the six-story building will be garnished with imported marble. It will serve as a temporary library, holding over 100,000volumes, and will house administration and Student Services Hpon the campus's opening in 1992. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt talks with students after one of last Thursday's student organizational forums. The purpose of the meetings was to discuss methods of operating student-run organizations. Student forums proceed despite low turnout Despite lower than expected turnout at the student organization open forums held last week, college officials have begun the process of organizing student representation on the Cal State San Marcos campus. The purpose of the two forums held last Thursday was to begin the process of organizing studentrun committees to form student organizations such as a government and a newspaper. Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, said the turnout at the forums was ' lower than expected/' Even with the low turnout, Zomalt said the forums will continue to be held on a weekly basis. "The purpose (of the forums) is to share general frameworks for starting student organizations," said Zomalt "We want to present to the president a proposal for the establishment of student government, a newspaper, a yearbook, institutionally related activities and a task force to provide a draft of the student handbook and policies/* he said. At the noon forum, Zomalt said he hopes student governmental elections could take place early next spring. He said he would like to see the students at CSUSM form a system of government that is uniquely their own. "There are certain guideline areas that must be followed," said Zomalt, "but the underpinnings that go into it are to be evolved and shared with students." Z omaltsaidtheformof student organizations can move in almost any direction as long as the guidelines f or the organizations are concurrent with Cal State University disciplines. Zomalt suggested that in o nto to write guidelines and policies, student committees should become familiar with restrictions placed forth in Title 5 , a code outlining policies of sharedgovernance in the educational system. "The slate i sn't absolutely clear (on formulas for student organizations), but some of the dots are already connected," said Zomalt. Last month, CSUSM President Bill Stacy appointed Zomalt to chair a task force to develop plans and review options of student organizations f or the fall term, Therese Baker, head of the Academic Senate, was also appointed to the task force by Stacy. In addition to Zomalt, two faculty members of the primary task force committee. Kenneth Mendoza, the chair of the Academic Senate's committee on student affairs, and Pat Farris, director of Business services, were appointed to serve on the committee. At the meeting, more forums, to be held on a regular basis, were scheduled. Zomait and the students present at the forums agreed that Tuesdaysat 12:30p.m. would be the most convenient time to hold the forums. All forums will take place in the Multipurpose Room* Building 145, Room 9. At today *s forum, Zomalt said that he hopes to form committees and subcommittees. These groups will be open to all students with meetings to be held at times other than the scheduled forum times.. These committees will make suggestions to the president through the academic senate on how to run studentorganizations, Zomalt said. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 , 1 990/PIQNEER Library computer program aids with career guidance Developed by a team of researchers 'and specialists at Educational Testing Service, SIGI PLUS (System oflnteractiveGuidanceandlnformation PLUS) combines the unique capabilities of the computer with thoroughly researched data bases of occupations, skill, interests, values and educational programs.

A T HOUGHTS "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL Incumbents unmoved by compromise Congressional negotiators, our servants, are going on their fifth month of summits aimed at balancing the budget. The formula is simple enough: do more with less. Compounding the synergy is a list of special interests-many without public s pirit-too numerous to list.

Rhetorically the landscape has changed little in sixty years: the Democrats insist we stand by liberal models (affirmative action, project housing, and welfare) that have proven to be any- ' thing but solutions for poverty and racial inequality. Likewise, the Republicans' myopic insis- Additionally, some programs, such as national defense, benefit from economics of scale, and could not be managed otherwise. On the other hand, the private sector is unprguably the best conduit of earned wealth and societal advancement, and thereby serves the most when it is permitted to prosper. Ironically, the finest solution is for government to do less to accomplish more for everyone's well being. That is, less federal bureaucracy, with the PIONEER COLUMNIST savings applied to tax incentives that specifitence that the free market forces are panacean is cally induce private-sector solutions to the oxymoronic: capitalism, in purity, is without problems that are most pressing: inner-city heart or conscience, and cannot have a motiva- decay, racism, education, and the space protion to rectify social injustices. gram.

Age need not be a barrier. The older student population of CSUSM has the wisdom of experience to contribute to the infant campus. Who is better suited for forming a new system of government than those who have seen the faults of the old ones? The biggest fear is that the vim and vigor that seems so externally prevalent at CSUSM will be lost with internalized apathy. This kind apathy, for instance was seen last spring when Stanford University elected Bart Simpson for student body president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for its senate. Wanting to make an impression at CSUSM that will last forever is fine in theory, but actually venturing out and taking advantage of the opportunities that are available is the only way to cross the river of challenges to a lasting future. . . . ; . . .. . �8 EXPLORI m j f H fjSffi&t f H H B _ p i o n e e r / t u e s d a y , o c t o b e r 2,1900 Tourists traps abundant on tiny island.

For $38 you can buy a boat rip and ten minutes in the air. Para-Sailing is just one of the tourist-oriented traps at Avalon Bay in Catalina. Most of the tours end up at Avalon Bay, but there are other packages which allow you to visit other parts of the island, away from the tourist influx of Avalon. Avalon Bay is easy to get around in. If you choose not to walk, bicycles and electric (golf) carts can be rented. The electric carts are in abundance at Avalon Bay. So, if you're familiar with Rancho Bernardo or Lake San Marcos, the SEE I SLAND /PAGE 9 •i �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1990/PIQNEER I SLAND CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 electric carts will make you feel right at home. You c an't miss them. The Sea Jet cruise line out of San Diego and Oceanside Harbors o ffer you the option of buying admission to a few tours of the island. The tours are independently operated by Sea Jet, so blame them when you come away disappointed. The "Glass Bottom Boat Trip" takes you out around the edge of the island to peer into the sea. For 40 minutes you stare through the the glass-bottomed boat to hopefully get a glimpse of something amusing in the sea. Actually, what visitors see mostly is the abundance of kelp growing from the sea's floor. All sea life is virtually obscured by the waving kelp. The boat is the largest glassbottomed boat in the world, which is probably the most interesting aspect of this tour. On land, tours of the city of Avalon are available. Tourists are herded into an "open air" bus and taken around the inner and outer reaches of Avalon for 50 minutes. Aside from the electric carts which the tour drivers squeeze between, this tour affords a spectacular view of Avalon Bay. ^ffc F ile E dit O ption EXPLORE But probably the preferred tour is the 3 and 3/4-hour Island Motor Tour, a half-day adventure that takes you to the inner sanctions of the island. The wildlife is diverse. The island is home to 12 North American Bald Eagles and some 400 North American Bison. The bison were brought to the island in 1924 to be used in the movie 'Vanishing America.' The studio producing the picture brought 14 of the bison to the island and left them there after filming was complete. The small population of bison adapted to the island and grew to the size it is today. Reportedly, the bison can weight up to 2,000 pounds and still run as fast as a race horse. If you ride the Sea J et's line to the island from San Diego and take the tours, you are left with just over an hour to explore Avalon Bay. Away from the B ay's shops and the tourists, Avalon's side streets and quaint neighborhoods are the charm of city. Yet, even this quaint atmosphere is disrupted by the electric carts that tourists have rented and residents use to get around the bay. Overall, Catalina has much to offer the daytime tourist, but plan on spending a weekend on the island if you wish to experience its charms to the fullest.

The opinion changes season to season. Once autumn rolls around, the 2,500 year-round residents enjoy a respite from the summertime crowds, which average 10,000 to 20,000 people per day. Michael Haphe, 23, an islander for most of his life, doesn't mind when the fall season rolls around. For him i t's a chance to catch up with life. "From an islander's point of view, i t's crowded (during the summer)," Haphe says. The tanned lifeguard reflects on his l ife as an islander. " You're used to such a slow pace nine months o ut of the year." But the young Catalina native also admits, " it's f un (in the summer). You meet lots of people and do a lot of f un things." Haphe lived most of his youth on the island, attending school in Avalon until the 11th grade. He returns each summer from college EXPLORE 1 1 PAR ACHUTE: The umbrella canopy of the parachute suspends the rider in the sky like a kite.

Haphe leans on the pier's railings, squints in the late afternoon sun and thinks about the changing of the seasons, and his change in favorite seasons. "When I was living here," he says, "the summer was my favorite part of the year. T hat's when all the people are here. Now, I like the autumn. I t's a little less fast-paced.

CONTROL STRAPS: By pulling on the nylon harness straps, the rider can control aerial movement. iling, an uplifting ride Like a kite floating on the end of a string, you sway lazily in the sky. You become one with the clouds and the wind as your parachute suspends you in mid air. Para-sailing gives the airborne thrill seeker the chance to experience the delights enjoyed by thermal-riding birds and butterflies. For $38 and 8-10 magnificent minutes, visitors to Catalina can fly like a kite above the pristine city of Avalon. Island Cruzers offers the thrill with an emphasis on safety and excitement The concept of para-sailing is remarkably simple; the rider is suspended in the sky by a parachute and is pulled behind a boat with a 300-foot length of rope. Although the sport looks dangerous and difficult, it is surprisingly safe and simple. Even amateur adventurers will find the activity to be easier than riding a bicycle. First the rider is strapped into a relatively nonrestrictive harness. The harness, constructed of nylon straps, fits snugly around the legs and chest. Although it looks frail and without supportive structure, the harness is very strong and gives the rider extensive freedom of movement. A large, colorful parachute flaps behind and a sturdy lifeline connects the para-sailer to the b oat To insure safety and facilitate the launch process, Island Cruzers has installed a hydraulic wench to the lifelines * The wench feeds the rope out from the boat evenly, allowing the para-sailer to launch without touching the water. Air fills the parachute and, as SEEKERS the boat builds speed, the rider is lifted into the sky. Once airborne, the para-sailer sees the world from an uniquely bird-like point of view. The landscape below unfolds like a blossoming flower as the parachute flaps gently in the breeze. The rider settles into a calm pocket of air hundreds of feet above the ocean's water. It is almost as if the world has stopped revolving so the parasailer can settle in and enjoy the view. The most unsettling aspect of the ride comes with the realization that the boat, which is towing the rider and parachute, is only a distant moving speck. The rider becomes acutely aware that the only thing stopping him/her from being swept away into the sky, is the umbilical connecting him to the boat. Even more unsettling is the view straight down, as the rider sees his feet dangling far above the ocean below. The thougnt that the rope could break at any time or the harness might suddenly give way, adds tension and a sense of danger to an otherwise placid flight Once the rider becomes acclimated to the feeling of flying on a tether, the true fun begins with the realization that the parachute can actually be controlled. When the rider tugs on the harness straps behindhis/her head, the parachute responds by actually turning toward the direction of the strap pulled. If the left strap is pulled, for example, the parachute will veer in that direction. By tugging on one side the harness, the para-sail»' releases air from that side of the parachute, causing it to dip in the direction pulled. If the rider pulls both straps simultaneously, the parachute loses altitude. A fun exercise is to pull both straps at the same time until the parachute dips about 50 feet. After dropping, simply release the straps and the parachute will regain its previous altitude almost instantaneously. When the ride nears its end, the boat slows to a crawl and the hydraulic wench reels in the tether. The rider is brought back to the deck of the boat gently and safely without touching even a drop water. Para-sailing is an uplifting experience for thrill seekers of ^ almost any age or sex and should not be passed by. Para-sailing adventures are also offered throughout Mexico, but be prepared to get w et Most places in Mexico that offer para-sailing d on't use a hydraulic wench. So the next time the urge to go fly a kite arises, check out the view from the other end of the string. �12 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2 ,1990 EXPLORE CATALIN A guide to island tours, activities and restaurants Catalina is an island paradise located just west of America's most populous state.

Student starts campus club Fulfilling the college's goal to obtain an international perspective, 11 students atCal State San Marcos have banded together to form Rotaract, a club with a mission to "install friendship and mutual understanding between races of the world." Rotaract, a multinational organization under the Rotary club, can be found in over 100 countries with ova* 4,000 charters, says Nnambdi Nnoli, the club's organizer. Nnoli, a CSUSM student, is a native of Nigeria who came to America to live with his family. He says in Nigeria alone there are 232 Rotaract charters. The United States only has 91-95 Rotaract charters. "Rotaract is very big and powerful in Nigeria," Nnoli says. He adds that the current chairman of Rotary International is now trying establish more clubs in the U.S. He says Rotary organs in Nigeria helped to raise funds for polio vaccinations and other public services. The club could bring career speakers to campus while establishing scholarships and participating in community projects, says Nnoli. In the past three meetings, Rotaract members discussed career opportunities and gave career presentations. Even though the college has not as Nnambdi Nnoli, points to a flyer asking for members to his newly-formed Rotaract club. Nnoli says his club will promote international awareness. of yet formally accepted the club, Nnoli says he is receiving verbal encouragement from Sandy Kuchler, assistant to the dean of Student Services. Before being formally received by the college, Rotaract must draw up a formal constitution and outline its goals. With its establishment could còme funding from the university. "We need funding to get supplies, get career sfjgpkers, start community projects and start scholarships," says Nnoli. "We need to be functional and resourceful." Even though the club has formally participated in meetings, Nnoli says they need greater membership to be formally accepted as a Rotaract charter by the Rotary Club. Nnoli points out the club needs from IS to 25 members to be formally recognized as a charter.

When she came to Cal State San Marcos in September of 1989, Marion Reid was faced with the immense task of starting a college research library, that would grow well into the next century. It is a chore of Herculean proportions. Choosing volumes needed for an academic core is an arduous, complicated process. 'We not only want to provide a good core, but buy informational services from other places,"Reid says. To help begin the process of selecting a solid foundation of volumes for an academic core, Reid turned to the work of Melvin J. Voigt. Voigt was instrumental in establishing the libraries at the University of California at Irvine, Santa Cruz and San Diego. The Association of College Research Libraries refined and published Voigt's findings in a book entitled, "Books for College Libraries." The book lists the top 50,000 volumes needed to start an academic core. Even though the book is in its third printing, Reid says many of the vol- college library opens in 1992. She also says the list does not encompass every academic discipline. According to Reid, some academic disciplines have accreditation agencies that list appropriate books for certain specialities. She says CSUSM will draw from these sources as well as Voigt's findings. Book vendors are also used to secure titles for college library topics. "We're building a profile of how books for a college library should look," says Reid. This year the college budget allots $2.1 million in funding for the acquisition of books for the library. Reid says next year's budget should be a similar amount. "It may sound like a large figure, but it isn't in terms of starting an opening day collection," says Reid. According to Reid, the average cost for a domestic title is $46 per book. Reference books, science and art titles usually run more adds Reid. To help in the process of figuring out how and where to purchase books, the university has selected the services of the Oregon-based Academic Book Center. The 15-year-old com- pany was selected from a group of 11 vendors vying for the job. Earlier this year, the college purchased a 13,000 volume collection from the library of Charles D. Tensley. Tensley was a Professor of Philosophy, English and Chemistry at the University of Illinois. "He was a bookman who collected for substance, not rarity," comments Reid. She considers the$100,000price tag for the books to be a good deal. "If you can get $10 or less for a book, i t's a bargain," she says. Not all of the books in the Tensley collection can be used, however. Some have become too brittle with age to place on the library's shelves. Reid says the college also received a 1,500 to 3,000 volume collection from the library of T. Walter Walbank. Walbank was a professor emeritus at the University of Southern California who collected books on non-American history. The collection was offered to other universities with already established libraries, but was turned down because they already had many of the books contained in the collection.

Another matter of concern for the university is the length of the alliance between the two newspapers. In its proposal, the Times Advocate classified the relationship between themselves and the college as "long term." The deal offers no indication of a future termination date of the alliance. Armstrong said at the council meeting that he holds some concerns that the college might back out of the deal after its implementation. "The only thing we're concerned about is that the relationship would end prematurely," he said. In such a case, according to Armstrong, the college might have to pay the Times Advocate for the cost of the newsroom. University Council members seemed enthused about the proposal, but conceded that the matter needed looking into. L IBRARY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 Until a library opens in 1992, volumes will be held in a storage and processing facility located on campus. Already the facility contains 1,059 boxes of books waiting to be sorted. Reid says the process of building a library will take decades. She speculates that the 400,000-square-foot library in CSUSM's future might contain as many as two million volumes. "Academic libraries traditionally don't stop growing," she says. Apartfromobtaining volumes, Reid is also searching for ways to build an information network with other libraries and services. Already an inter-library loan program has been implemented, allowing students to gain access to books and journals contained in other librar- ies. The college is also looking into a program, offered by the Colorado Alliance ofResearch Libraries, where students can gain indexes to over 10,000research journals. Reid says in January of next year, the service will make the full text of the journals available. Reid is also looking to build an expansive, state-of-the-art data base. Through computers, students will be able to access in minutes, information that could take hours to find. Students will not be geographically excluded from using the library. "Students, who would like to access our data base from home, could call up on the phone," Reid says. CSUSM is currently in the process of seeking librarians to assist Reid in her task. Reid says she hopes the three new librarians will arrive at the college sometime later this year, but sees January of next year as a more realistic date.

A new phrase, "safe sex" has been introduced into our vocabulary. The phrase should actually be "safer sex" because, as in birth control, only abstinence is 100 percent safe. Playing it safe doesn't mean eliminating sexual activity from your life. It means self-respect and respect for your partner, talking about sex and talking honestly about your respective histories. It means knowing how to protect yourself and taking precautions every time. It's what you do, not who you are, that creates a risk for sexually transmitted disease and you can protect yourself by the precautions you take. STDs are spread by infectious microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses and parasites, moving from one person to another. Most travel only in certain body fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal secretions. Very few STDs can be transmitted in saliva or by skin-to-skin contact. Some STDs spread more easily than others. You never become immune to STDs. You can get reinfected and can have more than one STD at that same time. Some STDs show few or no symptoms; many people are infected and spread the microorganisms without knowing it. Since there is no guarantee of "safe sex" outside of sexual abstinence or a mutually monogamous relationship with an uninfected partner, to lessen one's risk reduce the number of sex- CLUB CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 on CSUSM.

Activities that involve direct exposure to a partner's semen, vaginal secretions or blood are more risky. For example, anal intercourse is associated with high risk of HIV infection. Vaginal intercourse can transmit many STDs, including HIV, from a man to a woman or a woman to a man. Oral sex can transmit some other STDs, but is considered moderately risky. Intimate kissing is low-risk and fantasy, touching massage and masturbation generally pose no risk. When using condoms, to be effective they must be Latex, stay in place during sexual activity, not break during use and be removed correctly. Only water-based lubricants should be used since Vaseline and various lotions and oils weaken condoms. Lubricants or condoms that contain the spermicide called nonoxynol-9 provide additional protection against HIV infection. Lastly, sex under the influence of alcohol or drugs, like driving under the influence, is never safe.

But if a journalist is going to earn her bread by covering professional football perhaps she'd better take her blinders off. And I don't just mean in the locker room. Professional football is a thriving multi-billion-dollar e ntertainment industry. It has gained its financial stature for a number of reasons ( few of them pretty C O N T R I B U T I N G WRITER to look at if viewed too closely). But the main one is the symbiotic and often incestuous relationship between professional sports and both print and electronic media. For both the owners and the teams and the network CEOs, the bottom line is the bottom line. That's why you'll never see anyone like Edward R. Murrow reporting on football. If a controversy arises,—at least one that might decrease sales or viewer share — damage containment becomes the name of the game. An expendable player, coach, manager and, once in a red-white-and-blue moon, an owner will be sacrificed on the electronic altar to divert public scrutiny of the sport as a whole. Pete Rose, George Steinbrenner and Jimmy the Greek will be forever thrown up to the public as proof that professional sports won't tolerate gambling, corruption or racism. Just don't look too closely at the miniscule graduation rates of black and white college athletes who've gambled away their chance at an education for a shot at the pros. Football, like any other second-wave industry, feeds on its newspaper's printing, it could very well reap from the university young. It builds its bottom line on the back of its workers. far more profits. With the help of the media, it holds up the Joe Montanas and But the biggest cost to the college could be to the integrity of Walter Paytons as examples of what's possible for future a fledgling journalism department.

K EN C ARTER Times Advocate apple of a deal requires a brighter polishing It's like an apple being dangled before the donkey. As long as the donkey goes for the apple, the apple's owner can get him to do anything he wants. In this case, the apple of a deal the Times Advocate is offering CSUSM is full of worms. What looks like a shiny package (a state-of-the-art newsroom, a dynamic internship program, an unique educational alliance) could really be a rotten illusion. The recent offer by the Times Advocate to CSUSM to form a "state-of-the-art newsroom" looks aesthetically like a generous "gift;" but is, in reality a lucrative business deal from which the North County newspaper stands to profit greatly. The cost to the college for such a "gift" may be paid for both monetarily and with the integrity of a journalistic program. The proposal stipulates that the Times Advocate be distributed on the San Marcos campus, but not free of charge. A mandatory $24-$34 per-student charge for subscriptions to the Times Advocate would be implemented. The "gift" quickly becomes an investment In three years, the Times Advocate would not only break even on their initial $80,000+ investment, they stand to gain substantially from the deal at the University's expense. The anticipated growth of CSUS M gives the Times Advocate an assured subscribership that will grow exponentially with the years.

A THOUGHT; "Instead of feeding the scaps to my old hound, I'll get rid of the dog and eat the scraps myself." M IKE R OYKO/ C HICAGO T RIBUNE The other day I went searching for a new National Cause. Sadly, I came up empty. Our country's latest attempts at stirring up a broad-based political quorum-the War on Drugs and the MidEast Occupation-have fizzled. It's time to admit why America's momentum is staggering, and how wecan regain the greatness that spills from the wake of a worthy and welltuned National Cause. The War on Drugs is the Bush Administration's initial candidate for a viable National Cause. Arguably, Mr. Bush has picked a good target. Solving the drug crises is, after all, a cause for everyone's well being. Furthermore, no one stands to profit monetarily from stopping the contraband trade; just the opposite, obviously. Unfortunately, our government cannot "just say ' no'" withastraightface.Thelegal trades of cigarettes and alcohol are still far greater sources of health destructiveness than illegal drugs. Their duplicitous condemnation-and subsequent use as tax-revenue generators--is justified by the very entrenchment we are told to loathe (remember Prohibition?). Furthermore, the tobacco industry-as an agricultural interest- is actually subsidized with your tax dollars. Rhetoric rings hollow in the face of hypocrisy. How does Uncle Sam expect to convert the estimated millions of middle-American casual drug users into nay-sayers while talking out of both sides of his mouth? Since this is the only "hot" domestic attempt at a National Cause offered by the current Administration, our foreign policy became my next arena to search. While Saddam Hussein is disdained by everyone, few are ready to lose their children for this cause. Only the most myopic fringe of conservatism still endorses the fallacy that American foreign policy is a police-action paving the way to a world of benevolent Democracies. Quite the opposite, the best foreign policy recognizes the impossibility of exporting our DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER OPINION EDITOR sophisticated political process, and merely attempts instead to favorably influence events that impinge on our national interest Hence, never mind that the emirates of Kuwait were reputedly oppressive; they were friendly to the United States. If you still doubt this assessment, just reflect on the bungling, inconsistent, and moralistic bamboozlement of the Jimmy Carter Doctrine. In the case of protecting Kuwait, our "cause" is a steady oil supply and a stable Middle East. Not much to stir God-blessed, patriotic pride over, just good-old pragmatism. Certainly not the makings here of a lasting and historically significant National Cause. Time to ask, then, "What composes a great National Cause?" Firstly to insure its nobility and sturdiness, there can be no governmentoriginated hypocrisy, as isriddlingour War on Drugs. Indeed, a divided house cannot stand. Secondly, patriotism is not created by the National Cause. In fact the relationship is the opposite: many will boldly die to stop Hitler because the ties to democratic preservation are intrinsic. On the other hand, the increasing public perception that we are still too dependent on fossil fuels and foreign oil—despite a plethora of previous crises and warnings—undermines the drive to stop Iraq at any c ost Simply put, we aren't out to stop aggression per se, and when Mr. Bush says we are, his toes had better be crossed.

But Billie Moran looked beneath the fallen leaves to find more valuable gold in the mountain itself. Moran was the first to stake a gold claim in Julian in 1872. Armed with a pickax and a shovel he dug into the mountain, hoping to strike a lucky vein of gold. His legacy (known as the High Peak and Eagle mines) still exists today, although the mines themselves have long been shut down. The mines were closed during World War II after the government proclaimed them "unnecessary industry ."Today they are open to public tours so visitors can see for themselves how prospectors mined the precious element years ago. Contrary to popular belief, gold does not run in copious veins throughout a mountain. It'is not easily spotted or retrieved. Gold deposits are usually found within veins of quartz. According to Harlan Nelson, one of the proprietors of the mine today, only one ounce of gold (about the size of a sugar cube) can be obtained from a full ton of quartz-rich rock. "Few people struck it rich in gold mines," said Nelson. "Most barely made enough to stay alive." The Eagle mine was dug perpendicular to gold veins, with its opening at the foot of the mountain. Using picks and shovels, workers were only able to move five feet per day. Tunnels were dug upward so gravity would assist in clearing debris. When a vein was intersected, miners would then dig a "drift tunnel," a shaft which followed the vein itself, until the vein wasexhausted. Rock extracted from the vein would then be carted out and processed to separate the gold from useless rock. As they moved deeper into the mountain, workers used explosives to burrow further into the earth. Explosives inSEE MINES/PAGE 9 PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1990 �Pine Hills Lodge has rustic style KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER M INES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 creased the progress of the miners by six feet per day. In the days ofMoran, fire blasting was used to bore into the belly of the mountain. To fire blast, miners heated the rock until it was r edhot They then poured cold water onto the rock, causing an explosion. Workers then cleared the debris and continued on. Later homemade dynamite, made from broom handles and gunpowder, was inserted into hand-chiseled holes in the mine's walls. This method was replaced in the early 1900s with the introduction of air drills. To avoid the impact of the blasting, miners created cubby holes, known as jump holes, in the cavernous passageways. After igniting the charge, workers had only a matter of minutes to di ve into the safety of these jump holes in the lightless tunnels. Nelson said that after the Civil War, thousands of prospectors arrived to California to strike it rich. Few found enough gold to fill their teeth. They worked the crowded tunnels of the mines in teams of two to increase production. Rock that contained no gold was used to fill empty space within the mines themselves. This eliminated the extra effort involved with carting the debris to the surface. As the miners bored deeper into the mountain, any kind of vision became impossible. Miners mounted candles on felt hats and carried handheld lanterns to shed light on the black tunnels. "Sounds get amplified in absolute darkness," said Nelson. "First you hear a ringing sound; then you hear your heartbeat; then you can hear the blood rushing through your veins." Nelson said that the breeze blowing into the tunnels from the entrance would blow the candles out; so miners had to feel their ways into the tunnel in absolute darkness until the breeze subsided. The Eagle and High Peak mines together have 11 different mining levels. A main shaft, which delved 450 feet into the earth, connected all the levels. The lower five levels of the mine dig beneath the natural water D ARLA LYNN/PIONEER An ore mill, brought to the area by Cornish tin miners, stands as a monument to the gold mining legacy of North County's past. level of the e§jth and are now completely flooded. Ore would be pulled up the main shaft by an engine-powered hoist in buckets. "Because it was so dark, miners had to develop a system of communication. When it was time to raise the bucket, workers would ring a bell once. Two rings would indicate that the bucket was being lowered," Nelson said. v Ore was then loaded into carts and transported out for separation. Each cart held one complete ton of ore and the miners were able to extract as many as 10 carts of ore a day. With only 10 ounces of gold per day coming from the mines, workers attracted to the task by 'gold fever' found themselves disappointed. "Occasionally ore would be found that contained more gold powder than usual. These finds were called glory holes," Nelson said. After leaving the mountain, the ore was transported to a mill for separation. According to co-proprietor Karl Nelson, the technology for separating gold was brought to the area by Cornish tin miners, who were attracted to the mines by gold fever. The ore was placed into a mill which pulverized the rock into a fine d ust The crushed product was then placed on a copper table. The table was covered with a film of mercury, whiph absorbed the powdered gold. The mercury-gold mixture, or emalgum, was then heated until the mercury evaporated from the solution. Not all the gold could be claimed on the copper table, however. The remainder of the ore was then put on a shaker table. The shaker table separated the remainder of the gold by gravity. The heavier element would settle toward the bottom of the table where it could be easily retrieved. In later years, chemicals wpre used to separate gold from the raw ore. During World War II, the government closed down all gold mines in the United States proclaiming them a nonessential industry to the war effort. Workers moved from mining and refining gold to industries conducive to the war effort. After the war, mine owners found the cost of reopening those mines to be too prohibitive so most were closed down. The process of tunnel-mining for gold no longer exists in the United States. Strip mining has now replaced the ore retrieving process used by prospectors of old. Whereas one mountain constituted a claim in the 1800s, now whole ranges of mountains are leveled in search of gold. "The old-fashioned way was much more environmentally safe than the new way "saidKarl Nelson "but that's progress." Whispering pines, chattering squirrels, and nostalgic atmosphere permeate the Pine Hills Lodge of Julian. The two-story, wooden lodge was built in 1912 by Real Estate tycoons to attract buyers for the adjacent Pine Hills subdivision. Pine Hills Lodge is located just one mile west of Julian on Highway 78 and then 2 1/2 miles south on Pine Hills Road. Its location allows guests easy access to all the happenings around Julian, yet it is far enough away to be able to take full advantage of the rejuvenating serenity that a visit to the mountain demands. Originally the outlying cabins were built as tree houses. Unfortunately, the trees grew but the stairways didn't. The cabins, while not firmly attached to the ground, radiate the warmth and charm one would expect from secluded cabins in tHe woods. There are 12 rboms in five cabins. Some are singles with an old fashioned claw-foot tub, while others are two room suites boasting native stone fireplaces. The lodge itself has six additional rooms. These rooms are available on weekends only, and are Euro- pean style (bath and toilet, down the hall, last door on the left). The rooms are priced from $50 to $75 on the weekdays and $50 to $125 on the weekends. The lodge itself is saturated with rustic charm. From the huge native stonefireplacein the lobby to the slightly shabby leather couches in the western bar, Pine Hills Lodge radiates a quiet, friendly atmosphere. The dining room, which opens on the lobby, and its massive fireplace, has two walls of windows which allow a lovely tree top vista. There is a homey atmosphere not at all like the hustle and bustle of the city's fine restaurants. Hickory Smoked BarbecueBaby Pork Back Ribs are a specialty of the house. The average dinner costs around $ 13. They are also famous for their $11.95 Sunday Brunch with an extensive selection of both breakfast and dinner entrees, salads and fruits. "It's sleepy here during the week but quite chaotic during the weekends," said Dave Goodman, who along with his wife Donna bought the Pine Hills Lodge in 1979. Part of the chaos is caused by Dave himself, because in 1980 he SEE LODGE/PAGE11 KATHY «ULLIVAM/PiONEER Fallen leaves line the path to the rustic Pine Hills Lodge.

The plane's propellor whirs into motion and pushes forward, pulling the non-engined craft into the sky. In no time the glider is exploring the wild, blue yonder with nothing but a cushion of air suspending it in the sky. The thrill seeking experience has begun. Gliding in the Northeast County skies is easy, enjoyable and relatively inexpensive. All that is needed toenjoy this soaring experience is a camera and a strong spirit of adventure. Thrill Seekers found a glider port just 30 miles north of Julian outside the little town of Warner Hot Springs. For $34 a ticket, we sailed for 20 minutes to new heights of adventure. We climbed aboard a glider equipped to handle two passengers. The seats appeared cramped, but were cushioned and comfortable. Nylon straps covering our shoulders and laps held us firmly in place. Our pilot, Lee Rabeneau, had been flying gliders for the past nine years and assured us he knew what he was doing. In its 31 years of operation, the Warner Springs Soaring School has had no aerial accidents. This fact was of little comfort as the glider took off. The initial take off was painless and without drama. We were airborne several seconds before even realizing we were off the ground. This is due, in part, to the silence afforded by a glider. All we could hear was the distant hum SEEKERS of the plane 100 feet in front of us. We ascended to a height of 3,000 feet above ground level before our umbilical with the tow plane was severed. At times we rose at a rate of 800 feet per minute. With every foot of ascension the landscape below blossomed out in a panorama of hills and meadows. As we rose to the release height, we approached "No Name Mountain," a pile of rock and dirt speckled with pines and shrubs. The peak seemed so near to the glider's canopy, we felt as if we could touch its rocky landscape. With a loud "crack" our towiine was released, leaving us to glide on our own. Upon release, the glider was filled with a deafening quiet. Only the faint whistle of air through a canopy vent could be heard. As the glider drifts through the sky, every turbulent bump is amplified. We reached speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour as we circled "No Name Mountain." "Now I'm going to make you weightless," said Rabeneau. He plunged the glider into a steep dive, causing us to momentarily feel the euphoria of weightlessness. The whocp-dee-doog that turn in the stom- ach during such a feat surpass the best drops of the grandest roller coasters. "Now I'm going to make you twice your weight," Rabeneau commented as he banked us into a sudden turn. Our bodies shifted to the side, amplifying the effects of gravity and making us feel squished. During a straight glide, we felt a sense of ease, forgetting that we were floating at 3,000 feet without an engine. Rabeneau said that once he had been as high as 36,000 feet in the air. "If that doesn't make you an addict," he said, "you might as well buy a bowling ball." The 20-minuteride seemed too short as we approached the landing strip. We longed to stay airborne for just a few minutes more. Touchdown was smoother and more effortless than any engine-powered plane could be. We scarcely felt the ground when it was touched by the glider's wheels. Warner Springs Soaring Center offers longer, higherrides for slightly more money; and real thrill seekers can earn their gliding license after 2535 flights. All in all the experience of gliding soars to new heights of adventure. �LODGE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 turned one of the adjoining buildings into a theater. Actually, the theater was originally built in the 1920s as a gym for Jack Dempsey to train for his second fight with GeneTunney. Back in 1980 when Goodman producedhisfirstpioduction, 'Our Town,' he was not only worried about the local talent, but he also worried whether there would be enough of an audience to warrant a year-around, weekend theater. "I was skeptical before the first performance, (so) I rented the theater lighting." He was so impressed with the audience's reaction on that first night that the next day he purchased the permanent lighting. On Oct. 6,1990, Pine Hills Barbecue Dinner Theater opened with its 53rd production. 'Noises Off,' a comedy by Michael Frayn, will run Friday and Saturday nights until the first of the year. The cost is $25. Included in the show is a barbecue dinner of New York Strip Steak, Baby Back Pork Ribs, assorted salad and vegetable dishes, warm Dudly bread,andhome made pork and beans. If you call in advance, you can order baked chicken, seafood of the day or a vegetarian entree. The theater in Pine Trees holds only 96 people, so it is important to call for reservations. "Originally, we only drew people from the San Diego area, but now we are getting quite a few people from Orange and Los Angeles county," said Goodman. He has produced all of the 53 productions and has starred in seven of them. Goodman got his taste for the theater while attending Duke University where he was a producer for the Duke Players. Goodman is also a Wizard fan and he has the largest collection of wizards in the state. The wizards have places of honor above the fireplace and on plate racks and antique furniture around the lobby.

IRWIN/DIBOS (619) 236-8420 �J ULIAN Apples highlight activities during autumn months The quaint, North County city of Julian bristles with activity during the fall months. The month of October is known as Apple Days throughout the Julian vicinity. Here visitors can find apples in every shape and size. The city of Julian has a wide array of gift shops and restaurants which cater to the apple lover in all of us. Visitors to the quaint town should by all means try some good-old fashioned cider and caramel apples during their stay. Probably the best place to delve into the apple culture is the Julian Cider Mill. This little gift/specialty shop not only has freshsqueezed apple cider, it offers honey, jams and nuts worthy of any grandmother's kitchen. The Cider Mill offers some very unusual honeys that sound as tempting as they look. Hawaiian honey, Mesquite honey, Papaya honey, apple honey and even pieces of honey combs fill the tiny shop. A sign outside the door even offers bees for sale. There is homemade fudge in dozens of mouth-watering flavors, and enough candy to keep the dentist industry in prosperity for years to come. Visitors can also watch the process of making apple cider from the inside of the store. Apples are placed in trays, covered and then squished to a pulp before the viewers' eyes. The Cider Mill offers cherry and boysenberry cider as well as the traditional apple flavor. The Cider Mill is located on the main drag of Julian, near Mom's Apple Pie Shop. For an apple pie that is loaded with fresh, tangy apples, Mom's Apple Pie Shop is difficult to match. Mom's is easy tofind— it's the place with the huge, snaking lines. From your place in line you can watch the process Mom's uses in constructing its masterful pies. Even though lines can last as long as 30 minutes, Mom's pies are well worth the wait. Mama's Cafe also serves apple pies to those who don't like long lines. Another prosperous pie place is the Golden Apple Restaurant The Golden Apple sits off the highway toward the entrance to town. For those who like to see Julian from a cushioned seat, carriagescontinually traverse the crowded streets. For $5 per adult, a 15minuteridetakes you around all the crowds to a time before automobiles. The best part about the horse-drawn carriages is that you needn't fret about a parking space. The Julian Country Market offers everything from apple-crafts to cast-iron stoves. Here you can pick up a caramel apple topped with M&Ms or sugar sprinkles. These delectable delights are offered by cart vendors on the market's lower levels. Old-fashioned crafts abound in this forum of arts and crafts. Apples carves of wood range in all shapes and sizes. If you'vealways wanted a genuine cast-iron stove to accent your rustic kitchen, the market has plenty to choose from. An immense variety of potpourris are available to add that scented, old-fashioned touch to any household. The Julian Country Market is located downtown near Mom's Pie Shop. If a caffeine buzz is needed to propel you through the streets of Julian, then you will be delighted with the wide variety of exotic coffees offered at the Mug Shot Cafe. Expresso, cappucino and other coffees are served alongside a tempting menu of freshly made soups. The Mug Shot Cafe is located on the south side of the downtown area. If melodrama is what you seek, then you will enjoy the melodrama performances in the Town Hall. Each Saturday and Sunday the Town Hall puts on an old-time melodrama at 2:30 in the afternoon. During these performances, the audience is encouraged to participate by adding boos and cheers to the characters in the play. The performance itself is filled with costumes and stories reflecting the turn of the century. Shoppers will love the sweater shops found in the downtown area. Julian Sweaters Ltd. offers Pendleton sweaters to keep even the coldest fish warm during the winter months. Located in the southern section of the downtown area, Julian Sweaters has a gorgeous selection of winter wear. Across the street from Julian Sweaters Ltd., is B arbara's on the Hill and the Yarn Company. Barbara's has a beautiful selection of hand-woven sweaters with striking textures and colors. The Yarn Company isfilledwith any kind of yarn needed to make sweaters and weavings. Just east of the downtown area, historians can delight in the Eagle and High Peaks Mine tour. For $6, visitors get an hour-long tour of Billie Moran's nineteenth-century gold mines. The mines' proprietors, Harlan and Karl Nelson, take you on a trip to the days when gold fever ran through the area in epidemic proportions. You will see how gold was extracted and refined at the turn of the century. The tour takes you on a step-by-step trek J O N A T H A N YCfuNG/PIONEER rough the mine shafts themselves, with an historical commentary running throughout i tour by the guide. Outside of the mine shaft is a prospector's museum. Here you can view the treasures found in mines similar to the High Peaks and Eagle mines. Some of the eye-catching treasures can be purchased on the premises. Before entering Julian, be sure to stop at one of the many apple ranches which thrive during the month of October. These apple supermarkets can be found right off the highway just outside of Julian. Meyer Orchards has, in addition to apples, peaches and pears. These fall fruits can be purchased either by the bushel or the bag. The Manzanita Ranch is probably the most popular apple farm, with Dudley's bread offered as an added attraction. For pleasant and rustic lodging, the Pine Hills Lodge is an oasis of relaxation for the nostalgic at heart. Here boarders can stay amongst fallen leaves and frolicking squirrels in a lodge filled with the ambienceof 1912. A stone hearth makes for the perfect place to sip a hot drink and reminisce about old times. Outside of Julian in the town of Santa Ysabel one can find the famous Dudley's Bakery. Sixteen varieties of freshly-baked breads are offered at Dudleys. The bread is so good it is difficult to make it home without munching on the soft bread. Lines to purchase the breads are as long as Mom's Pie Shop, but well worth it. Pastries and coffee can also be bought at Dudley's. Thirty minutes north of Julian, thrillseekers can have a soaring good time at the Warner Hot Springs Soaring Center. Here you can take a twenty-minute ride in a glider for less than $40. The gliderridesare safe and make for an outof-the-ordinary adventure that shouldn't be missed. Passengers areflowntowed in their gliders by a plane and dropped at 3,000 feet, where the engineless plane is on its own. An experienced pilot will take you on a trip into the wild, blue yonder that is unforgettable. The Soaring Center also serves as a pilot training school for those who wish to man the glider controls themselves. Gaining a gliding license is a long process, however, requiring about 30 hours of flight time before the pilot is allowed to go solo. The flights at the Soaring Center are entirely safe. In its 31 -year existence, the center has had no accidents. �TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1990/PIQNEER ACCENT 13 Symphony sets 'electric' year FRED TRACEY/PIONEER New San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi has programmed an electic year of music. Students can take advantage of these music programs with a "student rush" offer from the symphony. Students with school I.D. (or other proof of enrollment) can get half-price on all remaining seats one-hour before performances. There are some wonderful programs planned, let* s start at the topof the list of favorite concerts this year by the San Diego Symphony: Gustav Mahler in San Diego? (Not in person - he's dead) Yes! Ever since Talmi "introduced" Mahler to San Diego as a guest conductor in May last year with Mahler's ' Titan" First Symphony, then again in October last year with Mahler's Fifth Symphony, San Diego audiences have become Mahlerarians of some sorts. In the 1990-91 season, Talmi, a noted Mahler interpreter has programmed Mahler's gigantic Second Symphony (Resurrection). This particular Mahler symphony has been winding its way down the coast this year. Performed in the spring by the San Francisco Symphony, it moves down to Los Angeles laster this year with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Our band picks it up April 5-7,1991 with Talmi conducting this monumental and dramatic work for chorus, orchestra, vocal soloists (and even organ!). This is the concert of the year. Next on my list is a concert Nov. 30-Dec. 2 with Talmi at the conducting helm and Ida Levin violin soloist on Medelssohn's Concerto in e minor for Violin and Orchestra. Talmi climaxes the concert with Bruckner's Symphony No. 7 in E Major. The Symphony's Classical Hits series includes an innovative concert highlighting hints of dance in classical music Jan. 5,1991. The program includes dances by Dvorak, Brahms, Copland and Beethoven's dance-like Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92. "P.D.Q. Bach,"akaProfessor Peter Schickele appears in a conceit of his own compositions: Fanfare for Fred (I might like that), Grande Serenade for an awful lot of instruments, Classical Rap, Prelude to Einstein on the Fritz, "Safe" Sextet and the 1712 Overture. If you haven't gathered by now, this music proves that classical music can be funny, in an odd sort of way. This will be a sell-out conceit. P.D.Q. Bach appears with conductor David Itkin Feb. 1 and 2,1991. For the romantics, Talmi conducts a c oncert c entering around Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and appropriately the concerts are held in collaboration with actors from the Old Globe Theatre. The program features Berlioz's Two Excerpts from the Dramatic Symphony Romeo et Juliette, TchaikovsRy's Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy and Prokofiev's Music for the Ballet "Romeo and Juliet." Leonard Bernstein's serious concert music hasn't been well represented in this area, so the symphony's Principal Guest Conductor Robert Shaw conducts a concert made-up entirely of Bernstein's music March 15-17. The concert includes Symphonic Dances from 'West Side Story,' The Age of Anxiety (with piano soloist Jeffrey Kahane), Two Meditations from Mass and the Chichester Palms. The La Jolla Civic/University Symphony Chorus appears Under the direction of Yoav Talmi, The San Diego Symphony begins its 63rd season. with Shaw and the orchestra. Bruhaha d oesn't cloud d irector's ability It seemed appropriate for new San Diego Symphony Music Director Yoav Talmi to program Verdi's4La Forza del Destino* Overture to open the orchestra's 63rd season earlier this month. 'La Forza del Destino,' which translates to 'The Force of Destiny,' appears to echo the symphony's immediate outlook. Israli conductor Talmi put the icing on the cake for the San Diego Symphony when the orchestra named him music director-designate April last year. Finding an artistic leader for the rebounding orchestra meant stability, and a signal to the community that the orchestra's destiny was well secure for the present Bouncing back from the total financial collapse of four years ago, the orchestra has been rebuilding all areas: artistic to financial. Theorchestra was also faced with regaining the trust and confidence of the San Diego community (the debt of four years ago was much larger than publicly acknowledged by the symphony's "old regime." Since then, a new staff has been engaged and thQ board of directors YOAV TALMI/ revamped). CONDUCTOR Naming a music director was one ot the challenges the symphony had to meet. The other challenge was touted as much as Talmi's engagement: becoming totally debt free (which the orchestra did earlier this year). With millions in donations (in- cluding a $2 million gift from publisher Helen Copley to retire the debt on Symphony Hall which the orchestra acquired a year before the financial collapse. The hall was re-named "Copley Symphony Hall."). Talmi was met with plenty of bruhaha as he began his three-year appointment as music director Oct. 1. There were two speeches made from the stage prior to the Oct. 3 concert, both of them not from Talmi. I wish the symphony's administration would get out of the business of making speeches! There were speeches made last April from the stage announcing Talmi as music director-designate, again, Talmi did not speak. Let's just skip the speeches (a front by symphony administration to SEE TALMI/PAGE 14 �T ALMI CONTINUED FORM PAGE 13 al|ow celebrity donors a few minutes irt the spotlight) and get down to the business of making music. Which is what Talmi and the orchestra does best The program chosen by Talmi to op^n the season was a music-lovers dream: Verdi's 'LaForzadel Destino' Overture, Rachmaninoff s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Brahms' Symphony No. 1. Andre Watts was to have appeared in the Rachmaninoff as piano soloist, but had to be replaced at the last minute due to a strained neck muscle. Watts was replaced by Cuban pianist Horacio Gutierrez. Gutierrez gave an honorable performance of the Rachmaninoff. The Cuban pianist didn' t meddle too much with the lushly romantic 18th variation of the Rhapsody. Following the Verdi and the Rachmaninoff, Talmi and the orchestra got down to business with Brahms' powerful Symphony No. 1 in c minor. Talmi brought out all of Brahms' expressive plains in the symphony. Talmi knows how to bring you up in the music, let's you float around a little, and brings you back down to a full tilt Bravo, maestro! My friend, accompanying me to the concert, and I chose to move to empty seats in the first row of the hall, right behind Talmi and in front of the cello sections (we had to crane our necks a bit to see the orchestra on the elevated stage). My friend wanted to be closer to the cellos, I wanted to be closer to the music making - specifically to observe Talmi closer. What a show I got Talmi is expressive, but he doesn't dance around on the podium. He gets what he wants through his clear beat patters, his phrasing and his ability to drive the 80-plus musicians with his passion for the music. By the time the Brahms was over, I felt that I had died and gone to heaven - and back again. TYPING NEED TYPING SOMETHING TYPED?

What makes In 'N Out so desirable is its unceasing dedication to fresh ingredients. Whereas waits at In 'N Out may be longer than other burger barns, the quality of their food makes the fulfilled anticipation all the more gratifying. The menu is short, simple, sufficient and sweet Nowhere can the collegiate gôurmetfindburgers with bacon or avocado; there are no onion rings or hot apple pies. Only hamburgers and cheeseburgers, shakes and fries are offered. By keeping away from the glitz and glamor of fancyschmancy concoctions, In 'N Out has the leeway to master the art of good, old-time burger-making. The masterpiece of In *N Out is its famed doubledouble cheeseburger. At $2.30, it is a work of art worthy of a place in the Louvre. By adhering strictly to the basics, the double-double achieves what few other burger shops can — perfection in simplicity. The ingredients of the double-double rest on a lightly toasted bun. There are no sesame seeds to irritate the dentures or the palate. The buns are fresh and make for a perfect resting place for the delectable ingredients. Two juicy hamburger patties, made with fresh, handmolded choice beef and sizzled to perfection, are smothered with two slices of American cheese and placed on the bun. Add fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions to these ingredients and a glob of special sauce, and the double-double is complete. With no cumbersome side ingredients like avocado, bacon or mushrooms, the double-double becomes a revered monument to simplicity. Be advised that it is almost impossible to eat only one double-double. The ingredients are so fresh and scrumptious that, even with a prohibitive appetite, the tastebuds cry for more. Frenchfriesat In 'N Out Burgers are 70 cents and are made with fresh potatoes; no unknown spices and flavorings encumber the flavor. They are of the good old-fashioned shoestring variety that are not too dry or greasy. Customers at In 'N Out can actually witness thé potatoes being peeled and sliced while waiting in line. To compliment the double-double and fries, the collegiate gourmet finds the shakes to be extraordinary. These thick,richcreations, made with fresh ice cream, are the perfect compliments to a great meal at $1.25. Flavors come in the traditional strawberry, vanilla and chocolate varieties. Be advised that these shakes are so thick, drinking them through a straw can become difficult. In *N Out also serves the usual soft drinks and a deliciously tangy lemonade. The only setback to In *N Out Burgers is the massive waits for service. Both drive-thru and walk-up windows have exasperating lines; but do not despair, the food at In 'N Out is well worth the wait San Marcos 727 W San Marcos Blvd. t he c opy c enter San Marcos, CA 92069 Take A Vacation F rom T he H assle Of T ypesetting & Typing.

At their Oct. 24 meeting, Task Force members completed a Mission Statement that would set the foundation for the future Associated Students at CSUSM. The statement is the first in a series of projects that would establish a student governmental system. "We are in our second iteration of the drafting of the mission statement for the Associated Students,** said Dean of Student Services Ernest ZomalL Zomalt also serves as chair of the Task Force. "It was a necessary first step before even doing a constitution," said David Hammond, task force member. "But that bit of work (the mission statement) is done.** Task force members sought to write a broad, but firm, foundation for the university of the 21st century. "We have had spirited conversations reflecting the best hopes for the Association,'* said Zomalt. "The task force has done an excellent job in identifying the critical areas which should serve as the foundation for the Associated Students.*' "The gist of statement is to recognize that it*s a world of interdepend- ence and pluralism," said Hammond, a so we made the mission statement as one that would promote pluralism and the recognition of the diversity in the world population. "The mission statement seeks to provide a path that will be relevant to the 21st century. At all times the task force kept close in mind that this school is theCSU flagship for the 21st century. "Hence, we included the normal commitment to student services and extra curricular activities, but a lot of the language is dedicated to the principals of non-discrimination, and supplementing the educational experience to make the student a more sophisticated person. "We sought to reflect the bigger mission of the school." The final Associated Students package would include the completed Mission Statement, a constitution, and guidelines for a student newspaper and a yearbook. The next hurtle for the task force to overcome is to establish a constitution. Becuase the university is being built from the ground up, the students on the task force have the unique opportunity of forming any type of government they wish. "The slate is not completely clean,** said Zomalt at thefirsttask force meeting. "There are certain guidline that must be followed.'* SEE MISSION/PAGE 4 rr—rr C S U S M Students choose Feinstëin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Diane Feinstein was chosen over Republican Pete Wilson, in an unscientific, anonymous pollof Cal State San Marcos students, to win in November's election.

LARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER Aztec Shops officials are shouting "Aye Caramba," after an Oct. 22 burglary robbed them of watches, calculators and Simpsons paraphernalia. According to a report filed with the Vista Sheriffs Department, the incident occurred sometime between 3p.m. Sunday and 6:50a.m.Monday. The burglar gained entry by shattering the lower east window of the bookstore which services Cal. State San Marcos and San Diego State's North County campus. Bookstore manager Deboran Meeker estimates the cost of items stolen at $1,486.70. A Macintosh SE computer, with an approximate value of $2,000, was left behind along with hundreds of dollars in software. Among the items stolen were $400 in watches, $295 in Cassette recorders, $190 in backpacks, $ 155 in clothing and $90 in stuffed animals. Even though bookstore employees refused official comment, some speculate that the burglar took items that are most easily pawned. Although the computer and software were of greater val ue, they would be more difficult to sell than the items taken. The Simpsons collection, which includes buttons, T-shirts and baseball caps is a high-in-demand line that is easily sold to consumers. Bookstore officials claim that great pains were taken to acquire some the $130 collection. Buttons, with picture of Bart and the Simpson family were meticulously removed from the cardboard placard which held them. Employees commented that it would have been easier for the perpetrator to take the whole placard. I Vista Sheriffs officer A. R. Riley arrived at the scene at 9:40 a.m. and found evidence of a forced entry. Rather than attacking the lock on the front door, the burglar used an unknown tool to break the rear window of the shop. No evidence was reportedly found at the scene to indicate the identity of the crime's perpetrator and, as of yet, no witnesses to the incident have been found. As of press tune there are no suspects in the crime. Officer Riley indicated in his report that the crime may have been committed by more than one person. Riley could not be reached for comment as of press time.. The security firm that patrols the campus, Wells Fargo Security, was not on duty during the time of the incident Meeker filed Grand Theft and .Burglary charges with the Sheriffs Department and indicated in the report that Aztec Shops will prosecute if a suspect is found. Security officials at SDSU, which operates Aztec Shops, said they have no report filed on the theft. �4 NEWS PIONEER/TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 199Q P EOPLE S ite S earch With personal writing, Pioneer's columnists show that they are people just like you.

COURTESY O FSTATELINE CSU —TT M ISSION CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 Sub-committees to the task force are working on a student newspaper, a yearbook, and clubs and organizations. The process in which clubs and organizations could be formed will be included in the constitution. The entire package will be submitted to CSUSM President Bill Stacy and the students for approval. The Mission Statement was derived from two proposed statement submitted by task force members William Christensen and Hammond. Zomalt combined the two proposals and resubmitted them to the committee. At the Oct. 24 meeting, the committee made some further revisions to the statement to finalize it. According to Hammond, the task force holds its meetings in closed sessions. This is because the task force is an evaluation and advisory committee and not a formal governmental body. "We are charged with the expediency to get ideas on the table for President Stacy and students to approve," said Hammond. �NEWS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1990/PIONEER DISPUTE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 contracted to install a utility tunnel, grade the area and prepare it for future buildings. To help in the task, Louetto has hired subcontractors/such as Poss to do some of the work. Albeit Amado, vice president of Campus Construction and Physical Planning, said in an earlier interview that even minor delays in preparing the site could set off a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. "This stage of work is a critical path for this project," he said. According to a recent article in the Times Advocate, Louetto has a long history of contractual disputes. The article states that, three weeks ago, the firm was fired from a $6.5 million contract to expand the North County Transit District's bus maintenance and refuelling stations in Oceanside. Transit officials claim that the contractor incorrectly installed fuelling tanks at the site. Louetto claims that Transit officials never granted them an extension in the station's building schedule. Louetto also claims that Transit officials never granted them extra time to clean up and remove contaminated soil that was previously undetected, Since 1985, Louetto has been involved in 52 lawsuits with its subcontractors. Most of the suits charge Louetto with failing to pay for work done on jobs in the county. Some of the suits have already been resolved. Although lawsuits between subcontractors and contractors are not uncommon, Ken Lounsbery, vice president and general counsel of Lusardi Construction Co., says the amount of legal activity revolving around Louetto is higher than normal. Amado said the college secured a performance bond on Louetto before work had begun. The bond guarantees that a contractor will complete a project on time. If Louetto does not properly fulfill its duties in a timely manner, then CSUSM can fire the contractor and hire another firm to continue the work. The college has already contacted Louetto's bonding agent, Reliance Insurance of Seattle, to force the dispute with Poss to be resolved. If the dispute is not resolved by Wednesday, the university will consider replacing Louetto. Originally, the college required that the construction firm settle its dispute by Oct.28, but extended the deadline late last week. The deadline was extended until Reliance completes an investigation into Louetto's financial stability. If Louetto does get terminated by the university, the college would then be forced to accepttheservicesof theproject'snext lowest bidder. Louetto acquired the job by bidding $260,00 lower than the next lowest contractor. Building on the $15 million Craven Hall could be set back as a result of the dispute. Earlier this month bids were received on the building, a focal point of the new campus. Construction on the building is scheduled to begin late next month, but Amado says they will be unable to proceed until the grounds are prepared. The dispute marks another setback in a series of delays which have put the construction process to a rocky start.

Our answers may sound too simple, bu it truly is that "prevention is the best medicine." The basis of preventative health care is knowledge (understanding how the way you conduct your life can help or harm you) so that you can make beneficial decisions. You can prevent many accidents and illnesses by making minor lifestyle choices. The greatest risk to the health of college-age persons is unintentional injuries (accidents). They are the leading cause of death and disability. Over 70 percent ere due to motor vehicle accidents, and half of those are related to alcohol abuse. The role that other drugs play is currently unknown, but given the other hazards associated with drug use, it makes sense to abstain from any drug, including alcohol, when driving. One simple tactic that can greatly reduce the chance and severity of injury in an automobile accident is to always wear a safety belt whether you are driving or riding with someone else. Make sure that all required safety equipment in your car is in good working order and obey all traffic laws. If you drive a motorcycle or motor scooter or ride a bicycle, wearing a helmet is highly recommended. Defensive driving orridingis your best protection. Remember, most other vehicles have difficulty seeing you until it is too late, so drive or ride as if you are invisible to other HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS vehicles. Most important of all, don't drink and drive or ride. After vehicular accidents (including bicycles), the most common serious injuries involve recreational activities and occupational injuries. Recreational accidents can frequently be prevented by getting proper instruction, using the correct equipment, and using common sense. Most occupational injuries can be prevented with proper training and the use of proper equipment and clothing while working. In future columns, other areas of preventative health will be discussed. If you need further information or have questions regarding good preventative health practices, feel free to stop by or make an appointment at Student Health Services, located across from the University BookStore. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the chief physician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. GRAND OPENING B USINESS H OURS MON-FRI. 7 A.M.-7P.M. SATURDAY 8 A.M.-5 P.M.

OCTOBER 30, 1990 Making millions during America's coming recession Now that the government spokesmen are admitting that we "might be entering" a recession, you can be sure of one thing — we're on the verge of a depression. But cheer up. Just because America's only trade surplus is in IOUs ($15,000 for every man, woman and fetus) doesn't mean you can't make a killing in the marketplace. To make it simpler for you to become one of A merica's newest millionaires, I 've c ompiled a list of products and P I O N E E R STAFF W RITER services that will be in demand during the post-trickle-down 90s. • Incendiary devices and/or arson service — To take advantage of the increasing demand by owners to cash in on commercial and home fire insurance policies during the downturn in business and real estate values. • Shopping cart and cardboard s ales—To provide transportation and lodging for the yuppies who didn't use the first service quickly enough. • Bible and Koran s ales—For the upsurge in fundamentalism that always accompanies an upsurge in unemployment. • Marketing flammable crosses, swastikas, rope, spray p aint—For the crowd whose intolerance won't be satisfied by fundamentalism. • Wrought-iron bar and security alarm sales — For the urbanization of the suburbs. • Liquor store—Provider of America's drug of choice in good times and bad. • Pet food distributor — To provide for the nutritional needs of our growing population of seniors below the poverty line. • Coffin manufacturing—To provide a final resting place for the geometrically increasing number of children who will die of parental abuse, substance abuse, AIDS, suicide and good old-fashioned malnutrition. • Green ink manufacturers — For when President Bush can no longer extort money through the 16th Amendment or sell worthless Treasury Department IOUs to Japan and Germany. He'll crank up the already humming printing presses and spew out enough funny money to wallpaper every city in America with hundred-dollar bills. Of course, since the flow of worthless greenbacks is already occurring, I guess you can ignore my foregoing advice about the businesses. By 1995, at the current accelerating rate of inflation, every American, regardless of profession, will be a millionaire. And, if you're as lucky as the inhabitants of Germany in 1923 or South America in 1990, a shopping cart full of milliondollar bills may just buy you a loaf of bread.

Hence, no bureaucratic process or mandate should disrupt the delivery of knowledge. Course Forgiveness—the means by which a student may retake a course for a better grade—is almost extinct in the California State University system. In fact, San Diego State University is its last refuge, and the movement there is to scale back its application to just one course. At CSU San Marcos, a Course Forgiveness policy has yet to emerge. Arguably, Course Forgiveness is a "pro-Education" contingency, and its abolishment is contrary to the spirit of what education seeks: to propagate knowledge. With Course Forgiveness, a student may retake a course once whenever their grade is originally a C- or worse. Both grades remain on the transcript, but only the later is factored in the student's grade-point average. In the worst abuse of this privilege, an individual contemplating graduate school (and who isn't in this credential-concious era?) could "sand-bag" their GPA by retaking enough courses to essentially rid the average of everything but stellar grades. This potential pariah is prevented by limiting the number of courses that may be forgiven, either overall or by major. Furthermore, the original grade remains on the transcript While the numeric GPA may seem impressive, the means to this triumph will be indelible. Overall, the construction of Course Forgiveness has its own capacity to quell rampant application. Notwithstanding these assurances, Course Forgiveness has a very positive attribute: it promotes learning. For most of us, the facts of life preclude s tellar p erformance in every subject. Sometimes c atastrophe strikes, and our school work is P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR n e g l e c t e d . Othertimesthe subject is not to our liking, so resistance to learnin g is {»resent. In a rare instance, the teacher is lousy, so comprehension—much less enthusiasm—is stifled. The list goes on. Without Course Forgiveness, the unfortunate recipient of aCor worse grade is condemned to write-off the experience as frustrating and futile. The subject will likely never be approached again, and education is the ultimate looser. On the other hand, the opportunity to repeat the course—if only out of the motivation to improve the grade—will result in a new, hopefully more successful exposure. In this scenario, the student and education are both winners. I urge the administration of CSU San Marcos to adopt a policy of Course Forgiveness. Otherwise, this will become an idea buried l>y the impetus to do what is easiest, instead of what is right. ^ DAVID HAMMOND �L etters t o t he E ditor President endorses Proposition 143 P IONEER 250-2 S.

GROUCHO M ARX On the Nov. 6 ballot, there is a measure that will have a profound impact on the future direction of higher education in California. Proposition 143, the Higher Education Facilities Bond Act of November 1990 will provide $450 million for capital outlay projects at the California State University, the University of California and the California Community Colleges. This is a particularly crucial turning point in California. We are faced with a population explosion very much like the one experienced after World War II. California's population growth soon will show up on our campuses. More than 1.6 million new pupils are expected to enroll in the public schools in the next decade, ensuring a continual flow into the state's postsecondary institutions. These students will need the libraries, laboratories, classrooms, and equipment that will be made available if Proposition 143 is passed by the voters. The bond act also will help higher education keep pace with technological advances and improve the campus environment with funds for seismic safety and energy conservation. Proposition 143 means jobs for workers to construct and remodel facilities, and for faculty and staff to teach and assist CSU students. In the long run, the state's economy will strengthen by the bond as it will provide an educated workforce for business and industry. It is estimated that 65 percent of the new jobs created in California in the next five years will require some college education. Here at CSU, San Marcos, the newest state university of the CSU system, and the only state university being built from scratch in the United States, several projects will be funded by Proposition 143. They are: • equipment for Academic Building I • equipment for initial facility - library book acquisition, part II • preliminary plans for the library, Phase I • preliminary plans, working drawings for the infrastructure/site development II • preliminary plans for the academic complex II We are asking the voters to consider the future as they vote on Nov. 6, and in particular, to continue their commitment to higher education — a commitment that literally founded CSU, San Marcos one year ago.

I would like to offer a different point of view. I 'd like to relate the experience of my effort to "get involved." To get the Task Force rolling, Dean Zomalt scheduled two general meetings, one at 12:30 p.m. and another at 7 p.m. I have a class at 12:30, so I attended the 7 p.m. meeting. At this general meeting, I was informed that there would be an organizing conference the following Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. This time and date had been decided at the earlier meeting, and those of us at the evening meeting had no voice in the decision. This second conference would be for the purpose of deciding permanent meeting schedules for the committees that would be formed. Because of my 12:30 p.m. class, I was unable to attend the conference. As a result, I had no voice or choice in determining a permanent meeting schedule for the yearbook committee to which I was assigned. I later learned from Barbara Pendleton, also on the yearbook committee, that only two students out of five on this committee were in fact able to attend the conference, and these two students decided on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m.! I explained my schedule problems to Barbara, and asked her to help me communicate this to the committee. I also complained about die scheduling to Dean Zomalt's secretary, Linda Leiter. Ms. Leiter offered to try to help me, but did not call me back to follow up. Ultimately, I was unable to attend the yearbook committee's first meeting this past October 9, when, according to Barbara, they B ILL STACY/CSUSM PRESIDENT elected a chair, discussed goals, and assigned tasks to members. No one from the committee called to include me in responsibilities, or even fill me in. Hey, I'm willing to miss any T.V. show, and even my personal family time!

S HABEN WAHL/ESCONDIDQ Students do have a vote at state level In response to Mr. William Lott's letter in the Oct. 16,1990 issue, I would like to correct his statement that, "Students are not voting members of the Board of Trustees." Scott Vick, currently a student at CSU, Fresno, is serving the second year of his twoyear appointment as a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Vick serves on committees, attends Board meetings and is a voting member of the Board. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott when he attended the groundbreaking ceremonies at CSUSM. He is a dynamic role model for CSU students as an involved student leader who was appointed by the governor to represent students on the Board of Trustees. As a member of the Student Governance Task Force, and the parent of a CSUSM student, I am proud and excited that students, faculty and administrators are sitting down together to work as a team to create our university: We are committed to creating a fair, decent community that encourages students, as well as faculty, staff and administrators, to maximize their potential. The University Mission Statement wasn't written as a piece of advertising hype—we believe in the goals and values it contains. J UDITH H . T AYLOR/ DIRECTOR, PERSONNEL SERVICES �Glancing through this year's California General Election Ballot Pamphlet is a long arduous process. Propositions that negate others abound in this complicated labyrinth of social responsibility. To help comfort you in your confusion, Pioneer is offering its picksfor November9s General Election issues. P ROPOSITIONS H14 - Local Hospital Districts. NO - Since hospitals could have shareholder interest in other health-care corporations, the spirit of a free market economy is violated. Ballot shows voters' changing view One must be careful when perusing through this November's California General Election Ballot This voluminous compilation of propositions contains Bills that contradict or negate other propositions. This ballot does reflect a growing concern for environmental issues and addresses the need to get "tough on crime," but don't be fooled by smokescreens. Some initiatives like "Big Green" are too broad to do "anything but tie taxpayers' money up in a web of bureaucracy. Initiatives like Prop. 132 narrow the scope sufficiently to a point where taxpayers can readily see the benefits and costs of the Bill. Other initiatives, like Props. 133 and 149 have such good ideas, but with exorbitant price tags to the public. The best advice to voters is to sit down for a few hours and read the two books outlining November's ballot propositions. Look not only at the source of funding for these Bills, look to see who is in favor and who is against them. From there make up your own minds. The mostdifficultchoiceon this ballot willbe for the Office of Governor. H 2 5 - Motor Vehicle Fuels Tax. fiail Transit Funding.

Both Wilson and Feinstein choose to sling insults rather than face the issues facing this state. Neither candidate is particularly impressive or solid. The best choice for voters is to write in a more competent candidate than the two principal ones presented to them. As Americans we are not pigeonholed into voting for just the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. We have the opportunity to choose whomever we see as the best candidate. Don't vote for Wilson or Feinstein because you want to choose the lesser of two evils. Choose your candidate because you want to elect a representative of the greater good. In all probability, either Feinstein or Wilson will take the office, but your write-in vote will send the message to future politicians that you, as voters, are more interested in the issues than party rhetoric.

The Winchester House, in San Jose, is the only other building in the state to have suclf a distinction. There are only 30 "ghost houses" in the nation listed with the Department of Commerce. According to the Historical Shrine Foundation, the ghosts Thomas and Anna Whaley still roam the halls of the building, they had never died. Since the mansion was the public in 1960 as a museum, June Reading has seen and evidence supporting the claim ghosts exist in the Whaley As director of the museum, has become a true believer in ghosts. She has volumes of stories to of spirit activity in the historical monument "I was with a visitor to the museum when I saw Thomas Whaley on the landing upstairs," she claims. "He was a small-sized man wearing a topcoat, pantaloons and a wide-brimmed hat. He was turned away. "He looked solid, but the figure faded away. One of the (employees of the house) told me that he didn't come through the front door. We then heard a m an's laughter from the rooms upstairs." Reading has not only seen and heard the visions, she has smelled them as well. One year, before the holidays, Reading and a class of school children smelled the scent of apples cooking from the kitchen. She says she frequently smells the cigar of Thomas Whaley in the main hallway. "Most of what they do is very pleasant," states Reading. " It's as though the family is just going about its daily routine." Candy Brabent, who works as a guide in the house says she too has noticed indications of activity from another dimension. According to Brabent, a music box in the house plays without provocation. She says she frequently hears the piano and other instruments, such as the museum's antique mandolins, start playing by themselves. "Sometimes you actually feel someone is there," cites Brabent. Thomas and Anna Whaley are not the only spirits to roam the house's rooms. In January of 1852, Yankee Jim Robinson was hanged on the plot of land that was later to hold the Whaley~House. attempting to steal the $6,500 schooner PLUTUS, as Thomas Whaley watched on. According to Reading, Yankee Jim can be heard pacing in the upstairs sitting room. She says the sound of his footsteps resounds through the building every s ix, months. "I haven't heard him in a while. I t's about time for him to come around again," she says. A fourth spirit, named Washburn also roams the house. Washburn was a playmate of the Whaley children who met her tragic death when she struck a low-hanging clothesline in the back yard. She died of her injuries in the arms of Thomas Whaley. Washburn is mostly seen by children who visit the museum. Even the family dog, Dolly Varden, has been heard running through the hallways of the house. Reading says that the hauntings are not always pleasant, however. Once, while showing a visitor an antique doll, Reading says the hallways became very dark and q uiet "We heard the baritone laugh of a man coming from the hall. We thought someone was watching us," she says. "The person I was showing the doll to just looked at me and said, ' Let's get out of h ere.'" Other times windows will be mysteriously held open and the crystals of the chandelier will rattle. According to Reading, actual physical evidence exists to support the claim that the house is haunted. Parapsychologist Dorine Turner makes frequent trips to the house to photograph the specters with her camera. These pictures are on display in the museum. Turner's camera acts as a medium to the spirits of the house says Reading. Even though the naked eye might not pick up ghostly images, they mysteriously appear on the film when it is developed. "The pictures show energy known as ectoplasmic tubes, or a vapor trail of light," says Reading. "If enough of these tubes come together, they look like figures. We had one of them enlarged and it looked like a brilliant nucleus."

For the Montana Mounted Police, it was important for them to find him before the coming storm dropped its snow on the area. Despite the numerous clues they had, the police were unable to find the lost hunter. But all their resources were not exhausted. The Montana Police contacted Nancy Kelling, a professional psychic. Kelling, now a resident of Carlsbad, worked with the Montana Mounted Police and their Helicopter Patrols for about two weeks in locating lost or missing hunters. She retells one incident. "I worked with the Montana Mounted police and helped them psychically to draw a map to help them find a hunter." Kelling started. Kelling said she was able to pick up energy emitted from the hunter's body. "What I do, is go into the energy field or the imprint of the hunter," she said. Kelling was able to draw in her mind a map using this energy that can tell more than a normal, two dimensional map. "Until I did that particular thing, I didn't realize that a psychic map would have more detail on it than a geographic map. "I went to that space psychically and you pick up his attitude and mood, like he was angry with the other hunters, so he decided to leave. "He starts walking to the right of the truck, going straight ahead and then veering backwards. "And then I was getting the slant of the hill. The direction that he goes to the right and then there was the wind and a storm. There was a steep drop off and a camp fire to the l eft "There weren't hunters at that moment but there was tracks from three hunters, possibly four . .. and a deer or a larger animal." Kelling not only picked up details that are specific to that area at that moment, but also emotions. "I not only get the direction he was going in, and his emotion, which has a lot to do with how fast he will travel, but I also got imprints of other people." Kelling used this psychic map to assist the Montana Police in finding the lost hunter. "I was able to tell them to look for a campfire that's out or look for tracks from hunters;" Kelling said. EVEN BEFORE HALLOWEEN OR THANKSGIVING GETS HERE, IT'S TIME TO START THINKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS NOW .. . AND SAN MARCOS BICYCLE HAS A 3 MONTHS LAYAWAYPLAN THAT'S JUST RIGHT FOR YOU! NANCY KELLING/PSYCHIC "I was able to get all kinds of signs or parts of a map that a natural map wouldn't have on i t "I did get that feedback that I had things more psychically preciser or in their proper order that the map would have never shown them." Kelling's map was correct, but in this particular case, her work was her own downfall. "The sad thing is the sheriff would not go in on the word of a psychic," Kelling explained. "It kept coming in as 'You have to find him before the snow falls' because he wasn't going to live through the snow fall. "We did find him, but he was no longer alive." This wasn't the only case in which Kelling has used her psychic ability to help law enforcement officials. She also assisted in the capture of two arsonists. " I've worked with the arson department on more than one series of arsons," she said. "I picked up what his pattern was and what signs or symbols in terms of directions in order to catch him." Since Kelling moved to Carlsbad a few years ago, she has been working with local police and FBI agents in the same fashion. Because those cases are not solved as of yet, she could not mention any of the factors involved. She also works as a private consultant. In these sessions, Kelling gives advice from relationships, jobs, past experiences, how someone presents themselves and even some predictions. "A psychic reading is just another perspective or overview," she said. "It just gives you other ways to perceive a situation." Kelling will be giving a free lecture dealing with the psychic field today at the Palomar College Community Theattfe at 10 a .nr.'

The bullet should have shattered Morgan's skull. The next fact that May discovered was that Morgan's body was found with her head towards the top of the stairs, and her feet towards the bottorti. This is the way bodies are placed, not how people fall after shooting themselves. Morgan would have fallen down the stairs, not up. May returned to room 3312 alone on Thanksgivin; Day, 1989. He ordered Thanksgiving dinner for two to make up for the holiday Kate never had in 1892. May said he felt Morgan's presence that day and got a feeling that Morgan was finally at peace, knowing the truth about her death was finally discovered. But May's research hasn't unearthed the mystery behind the Hotel Del's other "haunted room," 3502. It's believed that the hotel's original owner, Elisha Babcock kept his mistress in 3502 one night, where she unexpectedly died. Babcock disposed of her body somewhere on the grounds of the hotel.

But I wasn't so fortunate as a secret service agent who in 1983 was at the hotel with then Vice President George Bush. The agent was put in room 3502. Not knowing he was put in a haunted room, he laid in his bed and happened to be watching a television show about the very room he was staying in.

About three years prior to this incident, a man checked in to the room and later complained about a room on the sixth floor above 3502. The man claimed to be bothered during the night by someone walking around all evenig in the room above his. The hotel employee told the man there is no sixth floor, only five. I was greeting by two phone calls from someone out to spook me (the hotel said they feel there are pranksters who call the "haunted room" to scare the occupants). After hearing about attorney Alan May's reports, I asked if I could stay the night in room 3312.

One room has the head of a woman, dctatched from her body, screaming, "Where's my body?" The skit sends spine-tingling chills through the onlooker. During the duration of the tour, an immense cast of wandering scaries roams the serpentine halls, adding an unpredictable element of surprise around every bend. The best part about the attraction is the eerie atmosphere created in the maze's hallways. Because the labyrinth's walls are not permanent, they can be altered to create any setting that fits the proprietor's demonic desires. One passage is lined with doors that open and close at random as if possessed by an evil entity. In another part of the maze, travelers are forced to walk between rows of hanging clothes, well aware that the beasts of the closet could leap out on a whim.

Visitors of the maze will find a creepy assortment of ghoulies, ghosties, long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night. These creatures have taken residence in the otherwise meek Maze Graze attraction of the Fun Center. The maze itself is a perfect conduit for ghouls and goblins to execute theirfiendishacts. With its twisting tunnels and outdoor atmosphere, the Monster Maze is a world detached from the dimensions of normality. What makes this world so believable are the terrifyingly original apparitions that spring out around each turn. As visitors enter the maze, they are confronted with a talking head which warns them of the horrors they are about to see. The maze's proprietors use technology similar to that used in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, to make the ghostly head come to life. A real talking head is projected onto a model head, creating an eerily animated illusion. Inside, the maze contains a series of original, terrifying horror vignettes. Each room in the maze has its own frightening tale to tell. In one such room, an old hag sits placidly in her rocking chair while stabbing a bloody doll with a seveninch knife.

These screaming sounds can even be heard in the line outside the attraction itself. A mist floats through one section of hallways, adding obstructed vision to the other muddled senses. The best atmospheric element of the Monster Maze is the graveyard setting in the midst of the twisting passages. Red lights illuminate the fountain and tombstones spring up like dead weeds from the parched earth. The graveyard is the most haunting element of the attraction because of its alarming authenticity. At the maze's end, visitors confront Spidora, a large black arachnid with a human head. Spidora uses the same technological magic as the head at the maze's beginning. The talking spiderwoman actually interacts with visitors to add a unique finishing touch to the attraction. The Monster Maze is a great place to take a date with a taste for the macabre. It is also a great way to scare the Halloween-hypers from your wound-up kids. At $5 admission per person, the Monster Maze gives more screams for the dollar than any other localarea haunted houses.

In 1920, electricity was added to the house. While the electrician was putting wiring though the two-foot adobe walls he ran across an aged skeleton. Not knowing what to do about the problem, he continued with his wiring and plastered up the wall leaving the skeletal remains. The bones are still residing in the wall of the house. The end bedroom, part of the original adobe, is associated with two separate ghosts. The spirit of Julian Chavez, riding on his white stallion, and the famed Lady in White. "I heard the hoofbeats but didn't see the ghost," said Clair Schwab, volunteer docent director. She went on to explain about the night she waited for the ghost of Chavez. "You think it will happen. You hope it will happen. When you do hear it your stomach gets woozy and you get a tingly feeling down your back."

The sheriff, so tickled at the story, told Couts that he was not really a sheriff but Julian Chavez, the red bandit, and that he had actually come to steal the horse. He assured Couts because of his kindness that he would not have to worry about his horses again. The story goes on to tell of a later period in Couts life, when he was in desperate need of cowboys for a roundup, three vaqueros showed up at his door step offering their services.

However, these doors are locked and will remain that way for the first part of the show. The lock-up might be to keep something, or someone, o ut But this time, it is to keep everyone in as the theater magic and musical hypnotism of Andrew Llyod Webber transports the audience from the Los Angeles stage to the Paris Opera House, and to the realm of the Phantom of the Opera. 'The Phantom of the Opera' is a basic love story between beauty and beast The show's success has thrived on this basis from opening night However, since the lead character of the Phantom was changed earlier this year, the feel of the show has lost its strong love appeal and has transformed into a true horror story. Robert Guillaume stars as the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical The Phantom of the Opera.' Robert Guillaume replaces Michael Crawford as the Paris opera ghost, a role which Crawford developed since his premier in the London cast. It was Crawford's elegant movements and rich voice which made the heart pound with joy and sorrow. Guillaume's development of the phantom is quite different Guillaume is most noted for his comedic role in 'Benson,' but this show is no comedy. Guillaume transcends his role as the cocky butler with an interpretation different from Crawford's. His phantom is less "lovey-dovey" and more brooding and cynical. Guillaume plays a character which adopts the opera house as his own home. He requires a salary from the managers for using his opera house and reserves himself a balcony box for every show. The show begins as new, unbelieving managers arrive and the Phantom's tutoring of lead actress Christine Daa6 is made known. The opera ghost tries to keep control of his opera house SEE OPERA/PAGE 17 'Memphis Belle' flies high with perfected strategies Traveling back to family roots in 'Avalon' If you could capture the esscnce of the best war films from the 30s and 40s, combine it with 11 hot young actors, and mix in a famous plane with a history, you'd have all the ingredients for 'Memphis Belle.' The story line is simple, therefore strong and poignant. Eleven guys have made 24 daytime bombing runs over France and Germany during World War II and returned to home base in England unscathed, while their fellow fliers are being shot down left and right. The boys and their plane, the 'Memphis Belle,' have one more mission to accomplish and it's the most dangerous yet, right into the heart of Germany. What makes you care whether these guys make it back or not is the character studies of each man, explored in the few days before their last mission. Matthew Modine is the fiy-by-thc-book, goody-two-shoes captain who's looking to return to his furniture business and his Belle from iti Zì£3Y 101 Memphis, whom he named the plane after. The rest of the officers consist of Tate Donovan as the co-pilot who wants to be a hero; Bill Zane as a bombardier who fudged about his stint in medical school; and DB Sweeney who convinces himself that he's not going to make it back alive. The rest of the crew includes Reed Diamond, Sean Austin, Courtney Gaines, Neil Giuntoli, Harry Connick, J r. (proving himself to be as able an actor as a singer), and Eric Stoltz who creates yet another memorable character. The script is so well-organized and tight that the inner working and comraderie of the crew drags you into the story. Each and every one of the characters is well-developed with his own individual idiosyncrasies and moments of strength. Visually, the movie convincingly communicates the time period. Unfortunately, you never get the real sense of the size of the plane since the parameters of WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER F ILM CRITIC the movie involve jumping from one place to another inside. However, with its strong cast and script, 'Memphis Belle' should attract some attention from the members of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences when it comes time to vote for the 1990 Academy Awards. Out of the 11 strong choices, it will be interesting to see which performers arc chosen for acting nominations. In 'Avalon,' director and writer Barry Levinson takes us back to our roots—back to when our ancestors first came to America.

ROOTS O PERA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 16 Box,' portrays Sam Krinchinsky, the patriarch of the clan. He came to Baltimore in 1914 on July 4 and becomes a wallpaper hanger for his four brothers. ^ The family flourishes with business success, marriages and children, but changes slowly start to fragment - them. • -jI Sam's son Jules marries and changes his name to Kay. Jules and his cousin Izzy Kirk (who also changes his last name) become partners in an appliances business. With the success of the business, Jules moves his family, including his father to the suburbs, away from the rest of the Krinchinsky clan. Distance, time and television all play a part in causing the separations that become too big to bridge. Levinson based his story loosely on his own family. He gets his point across, but not as strongly as he could have. He has a penchant for bizarre camera angles in this film. Levinson photographs most of Sam's memory sequences in a stilted time speed which lends a symbolism to their re-telling. However, he also uses annoying tracking shots in certain scenes that are distracting and never give the audience anything to focus on. The storyline also starts and stops, neverflowingevenly to the conclusion. Still, with such a fabulous cast, including Mueller-Stahl, Joan Plowright, Aidan Quinn, Elizabeth Perkinsand young Elijah Wood, how could a director go wrong? He also couldn't go wrong on the overall theme of the movie which revealsapieceof Americana to, which we can all relate. As the Phantom, Robert Guillaume hypnotizes Christine, played by Dale Kristien, with his solo "The Music of the Night." and gain the love of Christine. His love for Christine isn' t possible due to the horrifying disfigurement that makes him the beast. The addition of a third character, Raul, also ruins the dreams of the Phantom, as Raul i s the man to win the heart of Christine. Guillaume's phantom gets no sorrow from the audience arid never gains the love of Christine. What he does get from both parties, however, is fear. In trying to maintain the power which he has savored as the opera's phantom, Guillaume' s character casts spells, curses, kidnaps and even kills throughout the show. Combine his heavy, staccato baritone voice with his abrupt, shallow movements and you have a very sinister man. Guillaume stands in the spotlight several times and gains theaudience's praise for his singing and performance; he is still the star of the show. But the audience still cannot sympathize with his character as they did with Crawford. The sympathy is directed to his victims: Christine, Raul and the cast of the opera house. Dale Kristien and Reece Holland are two of the original cast members and use their experience and familiarity with their roles to draw the audience's compassion. Of course, the show couldn't maintain its success without the support of the special effects. The stage transforms from scene to scene with ease and astonishment At one point, the stage even erupts with fire. The score by Webber is not hindered by the cast change, but it has evolved into another dimension of stage performances. T he Phantom of the Opera' has enjoyed a long run in Los Angeles and will continue to haunt audiences for years to come. �18 CALEN2AR DON P EDRO T ALENT S HOW N IGHT: A Showcase for musicians and singers every Friday and Saturday 18TH ANNUAL H ALLOWEEN at Can-Cun Restaurant, Rancho H UNT: Ghouls, ghosts and goblins Bernardo. 485-8282 will be roaming the passages as E LVIR A : The Mistress of the Dark Knott's Berry Farm is transformed will Headline a "Rock V Horror" into a ghost town through Oct. 31. revue each evening at Knott's Berry Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark, will Farm, Buena Park.

Also affectedby the bill is the University ofCalif€»nia system a nd the California Community Colleges system. T he proposition failed in 4 9 of the state's 58 counties.

Stacy said he is confident that Lusardi will "extend every effort to get construction moving." Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction said in an earlier interview that the phase one stage of work is a "critical path for the project." He said that delays, such as that created by the Louetto-Poss dispute, could start a "major chain reaction" resulting in a setback in the construction of the new campus's buildings. Amado said the campus will open on time providing no more setbacks occur in the building process. SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 5 Spanish book center t o boost world awareness for youth L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents is scheduled to open at CSUSM on Dec. 6. The Center, the only one of its kind in the world, will contain books in Spanish for children and adolescents and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Dr. Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. Schon said the forthcoming facility is the only one in the world that collects all recent books in Spanish for children. The Library of Congress contains some as does the Library in Mexico City, she said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." ISABEL FOUNDING SCHON/ FACULTY "Having lived in Mexico, I was aware of how many children do not have access to books," Schon said. "When I first came to the States, it hit me very hard that there was nothing for Hispanics to read." Schon said that many of the books available express negative views and stereotype Hispanic culture. "Why not get positive things o f' both cultures," said Schon. "Many people don' t know or understand other groups. W e're basically all humans." Schon said that, with a growing Hispanic population in this country, cultural awareness needs to be expanded to increase production in the work place. She mentioned how little the United States understands its neighbors to the south. "Unfortunately, many Anglo and Hispanic students d on't realize how much joy and beauty there is in the Mexican people," SEE CENTER/PAGE 5 �MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUND Steps can be taken to prevent colds, flu With this column, I would like to dispel a few common misconceptions about the dreaded "Flu." Generally people use the word flu to describe a host of illnesses whose miseries range from nasal congestion to chest congestion and coughing to gastrointestinal symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. True "Influenza" is one of the three types A, B, or C and is a highly contagious acute viral disease that spreads rapidly among large groups, especially in close environments like classrooms, work sites and dormitories. Actually it can spread rapidly CSUSM Professor Duff Brenna has found publishing success with his book, "The Book of Mamie." Brenna is currently working on another novel and hopes "Mamie" will be produced as a motion picture. across the population and in some years (usually even ten or so) it can affect 20 to 30 percent of the population.

Profs experience fuels novel HEALTHNOTES D R. J O E L 6 R t N O L OS Each year a new vaccine is produced by using the viral strain that is expected to be prevalent in December and January. The vaccine is usually available in October or November because after vaccination ittakes two to eight weeks for antibodies to develop. As an aside, it is of interest to note that viruses travel around the globe from the far east to our west coast. By knowing the viruses in the far east that year, out public health officials develop a vaccine bases on those viruses that will reach the U.S. in the winter. The vaccine is usually about 75 percent effective in preventing the flu and may also reduce the severity of the flu. Anybody, for the most part, can get the vaccine, but some people definitely should be vaccinated. The groups that are considered high risk are people with chronic illness especially lung disease including asthma, people with depressed immunity, anyone 55-years-old or older, and people who are in the medical profession or are caretakers of high risk persons. Also, unlike the common cold and not widely known by the public, is the fact that Influenza A can be treated with a drug called Amantadine. It is most helpful if given as soon as possible after the onset of the flu. It frequently shortens the illness and reduces its severity. As opposed to the self-care recommended for managing the common cold, if one recognizes the early signs of Influenza, it is recommended to see your health care provider to determine if Amantadine would be of benefit. In future columns, I would like to respond to questions regarding your health. You can submit your questions by placing them in the envelope posted on the bulletin board outside of Student Health Services.

" A lot of global understanding through reading of books can be communicated to the young. These discussions will supply understandings and misunderstandings of people," Schon said. The Center will be used as an educational institute for exposing teachers and librarians to Hispanic literature. Schon said the Center plans on holding an annual conference with authorities from Mexico and educators in the ñeld attending. "It* s important to get a date for the conference that is convenient for teachers and librarians," she said. Schon said that, because the Center is educational in nature, the costs will b e relatively low. Publishers interested in the project have sent a great majority of the books to the Center without charge. NEWS 5 "Once publishers understand the project, they send review copies," Schon stated. Schon, who was born in Mexico City, has worked with vendors in Spain and Latin America and has communicated with vendors in those countries. She said that growth for the Center's collection will be a continued requirement to insure obtaining the . most recent books. Dr. Lyndon W. Searfoss, professor of Reading and Library Science at Arizona State University, will speak at the Center* s opening about international language arts. New books will be displayed at the opening and a welcome by Dr. Bill Stacy, president of CSUSM, will be delivered. Schon said that, because of space constraints, attendance at the Center's December opening will be limited to 60 people. Visitors can browse through the collection and view publishers' displays of books. Refreshments will be served at the opening. The deadline for registering for the event is Nov. 21.

While walking into the class, my study partner summed it all up: "I can write my notes from beginning to end, but I doubt I can answer a question." The custom of using high-pressure, get-set-go evaluation is academia's last relic of the Dark Age. As my friend's statement i mp lies, t he process is so great to InstaRegurgitation, I am finding that I literally wash my memory of a subject at P I O N E E R O P I N I O N E DITOR the end of the latest t est The great educator Alfred North Whitehead has stated, "The really useful training yields a comprehension of a few general principles with a thorough grounding in the way they apply to a variety of concrete details." In other words, the best education is full of skill and process, not fact and definition. This begs the original question: Are midterm^and finals a test of our "comprehension of a few general principles?" Put differently, are we being better equipt to solve the problems of life and business because we could literally recompose our notes? I pray that we are never the better of beasts by memory alone. I am suggesting that a more effective evaluation of the attributes we aspire to teach is the less harried project approach. Particularly at a time when writing skills are enjoying unprecedented emphasis, the term paper is a welcome device. Likewise, group e fforts develop and test most of the important elements of the "right s tuff:" leadership, communication, compromise, negotiation, and consolidation. Unfortunately, the bulk of academia, staff and students, is geared against the planning arid prodding that are the hallmarks of the successful project or paper. Teachers and learners likewise lean to the test as the quickest, and so easiest, means to evaluate and finish. At the same time, we sacrifice each other on the pressure-point day. Can this carnage have a meaning I have missed in my confession of madness? Supposing for a moment that the test does measure a quality that the student knows. Given that it assesses abilities to collect and perform underpressure. Arguably, the search and pacing of a paper do these things and more, such as developing writing and organization skills. Certainly, the group project, while harder to grade, is instantly revealing of stars and missing fits. Admitting that the midterm alerts the professor to soft performers, the developmental nature of the term project allows forricherand more frequent interaction, and only more learning can come of this. Everyone's experience is enriched when the mentor stands by the learner's side. I 'm mad as hell. W e all lost out on that experience.

ANONYMOUS Who decides, whether there will be a war in the Persian Gulf? Is it our dynamic Congress which, at least constitutionally, is given the power? Or President Bush, vicariously elevating the testosterone by sending everyone in uniform, short of Campfire Girls, to the Saudi beach party? Is it Saddam Hussein, maligned by merely emulating past U.S. "actions" in Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, the Philippines, et al? Or how about the Israelis performing their daily version of Krystall Nacht on Palestinian Arabs? The answer is None of the Above, because the real power of war and peace lies between your nose and chin. Since your impatience for riddles may exceed even mine, let me quickly get to the heart of the matter. Unless you're truly into sand sculpting, or testing dune buggies, you know the Arabian Peninsula holds absolutely no attraction for the average American except for the billions of gallons of crude oil upon which it sits. You also know that between 10 and 20 percent of the oil we consume comes from this region. So the choices appear to be either go to war to maintain our present standard of living, or cut down on our oil consumption. The present buildup in the Persian Gulf suggests that Bush thinks we prefer conflict over conservation. Perhaps that's because we associate cutbacks of food energy to each one calorie of fuel energy with pain. But I 'm now going to tell you how to invested."

The Escondido c lub's name is British, descending from the Himalayan Tribesmen that comprise a reputable company in the British Army. Their game, however, is played not only in Britain, but is one of the top amateur sports in France, Wales, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States. The Gurkha's are only one team out of about 20 in Southern California that play the game of Rugby. Ray Steel, the Escondido Rugby Football Club director, said that Rugby is a misunderstood game. Some even say i t's hard to differentiate it from Australian Rules Football and a street brawl. He explained that Rugby originated from soccer, when a disenchanted player decided to change the rules. "He started running with the ball in his arms," said Steel, "and the other guys d idn't like that so they tackled him. "And that's how Rugby got started." he object of Rugby is similar to most field games: get the ball over the goal line. In this fast-paced game, however, there is no stopping. There is a moving line of scrimmage, established by the ball carrier. Because players cannot go in front of this line of scrimmage, the ball can only be passed laterally or backwards. Yardage is gained by running or kipking the ball. Even though a player is stopped by being tackled, the play doesn't end. Any player from either team can get the ball and continue. Another factor f or the continuous game is that no player can be replaced. The teams enter the field at the start of the game and only leave for a five minute half time break. Each half lasts 4 0 minutes. It w asn't until the 1960s that players were allowed to leave due to injuries. Before, players were required to continue playing regardless of pain. "You can only be replaced by injury," said John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach. "The same players go in and play the entire ' game." A team is allocated two replacements per game for injuries. Goals count as four-points, with the extra point scoring two. Both drop kicks and Penalty Kicks count as three-points. Australia New Zealand Wales America Britain So.

Rugby has a line of scrimmage, forwards, backs, and a similarly shaped ball as football, but Rugby never stops. This continual play i s where Rugby got the impression of a street brawl, but Steel explained that i t's a gentle game. "Soccer is a gentlemen's game, played by ruffians; American Football is a ruffians game, played by ruffians," Steel compared. "Rugby is a ruffians game played by gentleman."

S " A large part of the game is the friends that you meet on your own team and on other teams," he said. "I have a lot of friends in other R ugbyjeams around San Diego. "Being friends doesn't stop us from playing hard on the field, but afterwards we can talk about with the other guys and have a few beers or something. That's a large part of the game." On the Gurkha's recruitment flyers, it promotes friendship and a party after each practice and game. Steel explained that this is a great attribute, and exclusive to Rugby. "In football, especially, y ou're out there to kill the enemy and you certainly d on't want to socialize with them afterwards," Steel said. "In Rugby you can kill the enemy, but the enemy can kill you as well. So the game is not for people who like to go out and stick people.

John Hammond seemed to have a prepared speech as he addressed the Escondido Rugby Football Club with that statement. His confidence d idn't come from preparation, however, it came from experience. Hammond, also known as "Hammy" or "Hamster," i sn't a stranger to the game of Rugby. H e's coached for the last 20 years in a country where Rugby is the national sport: New Zealand. His love for the warm weather of Southern California brought him to Escondido, where h e's been contracted to coach their Rugby team, the Gurkha's. Hammond continued his introductory speech, by saying, " . . . I hate to loose." M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER A mob of Gurkhas (top) work the ball into play during a "scrum."

Hammond said that Rugby is played by all ages in New Zealand, "right on down to the 8-year-olds." Hammond himself started playing the game when he was 10-years-old. "When you're a player, you become public property," Hammond said. "The town feels like they own you. "There's a lot of pride being a Rugby player, especially in a smaller community, the closeknit towns." Commitment is a big part of being a player. Although i t's not mandatory, players usually stay in with their original club and the game is passed down through the generations. " That's what makes it so strong," Hammond said.

And harken to my side, for I have something true to confide. Ladies fair and knights of old still engage in joyous revelry at the Camelot Inn in San Marcos. This traditional English pub abounds with olde world spirit and charm. Lively conversations liberally laced with the burr of the Scottish, the lilt of the Irish, or the "real English" of the Britains can be heard around the pub. To keep everyone in good cheer, Camelot has on tap a variety of British beer. Harp, Watney's, Guiness, John Courage, Bass, Newcastle, McEwan's, Blackthorn Cider and Carlsberg flow from the taps. They also have a fine variety of imported beers and Scotch. To ease the hunger pains, Camelot serves food with British names. Dinner takes on an interesting flair when the choice of entrees include: Toad in the Hole, Steak and Kidney Pie, Bangers Beans and Chips, and Cod in Hand. The prices are moderate, from $6.50 for Sheppard's Pie to $12.50 for Prime Rib with Yorkshire Pudding. Friday nights are special true, for the little people come and sing for you. The Sandlewoods perform Irish folk music from 8:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The entertainment is suitable for the whole family; with people singing along and occasionally dancing a jig. Friday nights are quite popular and, because reservations are not accepted, it is necessary to get there early. Darts are played by amateurs and pros alike. They even have team sports on Monday night. Like every good country pub, Camelot has dart games that are very serious. It has three dart boards and sponsors two dart teams in the National Dart Association's Monday night team competitions. The pub provides house darts for the friendly noncompetition games. Jeff Schwaia, a student from SDSU, and Randy Tate, a teacher from Carlsbad Junior High School, are organizing a dart team to start the new season competition in January. They practice on Tuesday nights and are looking for dart players to join their team, "The Blind Squirrels." Camelot is a place full of smiles, reminiscent of the British Isles. " It's not just the Brit Beer, but the food prepared like w e're used to," said Dr. McClellan, a native from Edinburgh, Scodand, when asked about Camelot Inn. He went on to say, "Camelot is a little bit of B ar R ules Although there is a party atmosphere, the Gurkhas have some rules to follow when they're at the Camelot Inn: NO F INGER-POINTING: The substitute, using an elbow to point, makes everyone look like birds.

NO EMPTY GLASSES ON TABLES: Filled ones only. home, and we can roll our Rs as long as we want." Come often, come alot, to enjoy the olde world charm at Camelot. Camelot Inn is open weekdays from 3:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. The dining room is closed Monday night, but the pub is open for cheer and dart tournaments. Friday night is Irish folk night and on Saturday a variety of life music is offered. The pub is located between Highway 78 and restaurant row, at 887 W. San Marcos Blvd. �Rugby tests skill, endurance COACH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 Hammond retired as a player and became a coach in 1968. His record for the past 20 years makes him proud. "In the senior level, I 've had seven championship wins," he said. " I've had a couple others at a lower level too." Hammond's United States counterpart, the Gurkha's, i sn't too far from what he l eft "There's a good core of dedicated players who will learn and improve their game," Hammond said. Playing with the "All American" members, Hammond stressed the need for "overseaers" on the Escondido team. "For a team to develop, they need some overseaer back and some overseaer forwards," Hammond said in reference to player positions. ' They know when to take those chances, more than the All Americans." This need is filled by the c lub's director, Ray Steel, who is also from New Zealand, and four players, two from Europe and two from South Africa. "That's the way we like i t." In one tournament game, only four foreigners are allowed to play. Hammond's talk certainly sets him off as an overseaer, but his words have more than j ust an accent. There are slang words f or just about everything in Rugby, from All American, referring to the locals; Kiwi's, New Zealand natives; and Palmies, Europeans. Some terms are easy to pick up on, others are harder to define. Another speech characteristic about Hammond is his stuttering when he gets excited. He brought Speaking the language of those who play Rugby is just about as difficult as learning the rules of the game. Here's a guide that might help: ALL AMERICANS: United States natives that play the game well, but lack the born-experience to play Rugby. KIWIS: Native to New Zealand, where Rugby is the national sport. PALMIES: Europeans. Rugby is popular in Wales, Britain and in France. YARKIES: Foreigners that hale from South Africa. OVERSEAERS: All of the above with the exception of All Americans. OLD BOYS: Players fresh out of high school. RUGBY: The ruffian's game played by gentlemen. this up when he first addressed the Gurkha's, and said he uses it to his advantage. "Some players need to hear things more than once, so I accomplish this in one sentence," Hammond said. His contract is ova* in December; his stay here in the States will only last two months due to the Escondido C lub's limited ability to support him. But he says he will be back. If a full time coaching j ob comes up, Hammond said he will be happy to move t o the states permanently. I had been playing for about five, or maybe ten minutes. The players let me get used to the field, my teammates, and the object of the game. After this brief introductory period, I was passed the pigskin ball. And I ran, not because it was the object of the game, but I ran for my life. I was engaged in the game of Rugby. Unlike previous Thrill Seekers, I had entered an adventure that is riddled with cliches like, "Give ' Blood: Play Rugby." This sport has the reputation of looking like a street brawl. But, in the short time I had on the field with the Gurkha's, the team of the Escondido Rugby Football Club, I learned the game is more than just blood and guts. The object is simple: get the ball to the goal. The rules that have to be followed in the attempt of making that score are a bit confusing. In comparison, try teaching American Football to the Japanese. The game is strenuous. In a normal game, play is divided into two, 40-minute halves. The game I played was about 15-minutes long and was a warm-up practice, so there was no tackling (thank God). But in that short period of time, the unfit bones began to hurt and the skins became damp with sweat. I played the left end of the scrimmage line. The player next to me was experienced and a returning member to the club. He attempted to teach me the rules as he contributed a great deal to the action. SEEKERS We were to stay behind the man with the ball. That sounded easy, but the carrier kept moving and would throw it without warning. Rugby i sn't like football. There is a line of scrimmage, but the ball can be thrown to another player at any time. And because your teammates have to stay behind the ball, you can only throw it backwards or sideways. The effect of gaining yardage by running makes for an exciting game. By the time I had become comfortable with the game, it was that time in practice to get into shape. Fitness is a big part of the game. John Hammond, the Gurkha's coach, stresses more fitness than actual game strategies. With the 80-minute nonstop games, however, I can understand his concerns. I joined in with the Gurkha's in their fitness exercises. After all, I was seeking a thrill and I had to experience both the good and the bad. But after an hour of a practice game and exercises, I bowed out and retired to my reporters note pad. I decided to stick to writing and leave the Rugby training to the professionals. With drills that would make a marine sweat, the Gurkha's spent the next half of practice pushing, pulling, stretching, and bringing pain to every muscle in their bodies. The coach ensured them that the pain would lessen and the drills would increase as the preseason comes to a close. The game and fitness is only half of the Rugby sport. The other part comes after the work is completed. The Escondido Club members retire to a local bar, where they get their reputation of having great parties. Despite the bruhaha at that night's gathering, they say the parties after the tournament are more intense. Here, there are the standard party rules. No finger-pointing, drink with your left hand only, no saying "drink," "drank," or "drunk" and so forth. Craig, the only part of his name I could understand, explained more rules associated with Rugbyparties. He said you c an't put your glass down empty and you c an't show your teeth when laughing. Hammond demonstrated this rule when he removed his dentures and laughed. These gatherings bring out the greatest attribute in Rugby: friends. Sportsmanship is almost a requirement and friendship is one of the benefits. This part of the game outweighs the blood and guts p art Rugby is a wear and tear sport, but the training is paid off in fast, exciting games and a collection of "mates."

Because we are asked to seat ourselves, we decided to sit at a large, southern-decorated table rather than the many booths lining the walls and windows. As I looked around, I saw white walls decorated with cowboy memorabilia including spurs and saddles. Also decorating the walls were washboards, plows, skulls, and pans. Along the rear wall, separated by a trellis from the dining area, were t wo pool tables. One could play pool for fifty cents a game. Also, a laser disc juke box was ready to play anything from oldies to the most modern of music. Next to the juke box was an old fashioned soda fountain where one could order anything on the menu. Troy, our waiter, introduced us to the most famous item on the menu, O LLEGIATE the half-pound steerburger, served with a condiment tray, which consists of pickles, red onions, relish, jalapeno peppers, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper, sugar, ketchup, mustards and mustard relish.

CALENDAR/PAGE 1 4 Major medical center planned J ONATHAN. YOUNG/PIONEER Scripps Memorial Hospitals is currently negotiating^ to purchase at least two parcels to secure land needed to construct a major medical complex near the permanent campus site of Cal State San Marcos. Scripps Memorial closed escrow in September on 4.5 acres, making it thé second parcel of property acquired this year.. The recentparcel, located near the corner of Echo Lane and Discovery Street, was acquired from A.B. Farm, Inc. The vacant tractis contiguous with the 31.5 acres purchased by Scripps Memorial from Golden Net Worth and other parties last June. Long-term plans call for the medical center to comprise 60 to 70 acres. Plans for the site include the construction of a major inpatient and outpatient medical center to meet the medical and health care needs of San Diego's growing North County area. Although Cal State San Marcos has not been approached,a spokesman for Scripps Memorial said a relationship between the new neighbors could be a possibility. "... we definitely feel that the university in the community will be an asset," said Michael Dabney, Coordinator o f Media Relations. "I'm sure that will be discussed at a later date. Right now the priority is to get the specifications confirmed with the city." "Our relationship with the city of San Marcos on this matter has been positive from the start, and we look forward to the continuance of this relationship as we go about meeting the medical needs of the community," said Lauren Blagg, executive vice president of Scripps Memorial Hospitals. Although details for the medical complex have not yet been finalized, the first phase of the project, the construction of an outpatient facility and medical offices, could begin by next year. The second phase, the construction of a hospital, could be the year after next. "Scripps Memorial is evaluating specific health care needs of the citizens of the San Marcos area in order to provide therightcombination if services," said Blagg, adding that the building plan is expected to be carrier out in phases aver 20 to 25 years depending on community need. "It would be a outpatient and inpatient treatment facility," said Dabney. "A research facility is not in the picture at this time. "Down the road there will be other options on what we can do with the facility. Right now we're shooting for 60 to 70 acres. So we're leavingour options open for that development. "As we develop the project further, (a relationship with Cal S tate San Marcos) is certainly an option for discussion," Dabney said. In August, 1987, Scripps Memorial exercised its option to purchase 70 acres of property in Carlsbad for a North County hospital. Scripps Memorial has reassessed its plans, however, and detennined that the San Marcos site offers more effective opportunities.

NOTABLE BOOK DISPLAY CONTINUES Dr. Carey Wall, department chair of English at San Diego State University, is featured in this month's notable book display in the Library. The purpose of the display is to feature works that have influenced the lives of prominent persons in the educational community. Wall's books will be displayed through the end of the semester, Holiday gift drive begins Christmas. For most of the community it is a time for giving and sharing, joy and caring. But for some, the holiday season brings sorrow and depression. Recognizing the needs of those in the area that have no money to afford a holiday celebration, officials at Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State North County have started a food and gift drive. Proceeds from the drive will go to needy families in the San Marcos area. "Maybe (the drive) will give them the idea that the university is not foreign," said Sandra Punch, Coordinator of Student Services at CSUSM and SDSU North County. "The drive reaches out to the community and not just those who are college bound." Punch said the drive started out as "just an idea" four years ago. "As time went on we tried to make it a viable project," Punch said. Together with Janice Sinclair, in Student Services, and Deborah Coronado, in Personnel Services, Punch is setting up gift-wrapped donation boxes throughout campus where students, faculty and administration can deposit nonperishable food and gifts. Boxes will be placed in the Student Lounge, the Student Services Building, Building 125, Building 820 and the Library. Cash donations can be brought to brought to Punch, Sinclair or Coronado. Punch said the group is looking for those who have no avenues for help during the holiday season. Those who are unaware of the programs offered by the state for help or are too proud to take advantage Of them are prime candidates f or, donations. The family chosen last year had lost their eldest son in Mexico. The niother and father had both been laid off from their HAPPENINGS jobs and all their available income was spent transporting the son's body back home. The family was in need of a working stove and the children had no chance of getting gifts for Christmas. As a result of the drive, enough money was raised to buy the family a brand new stove. The family was also given a swing set, a 10-speed bicycle, Barbie dolls, food and clothing—all of which was donated by participants in the drive. 'The families are surprised because they expect less than they get," said Punch. Do to the growing success of the program, Punch said more families will be chosen to receive gifts this year than before. Needy families are found through HOLIDAY local churches and schools. "We go to schools where they see what families have need." Punch said that, through daily interactions, schools have personal contact with those in need. Once prospective families-have been found, Punch contacts them on the telephone to see if they would be interested in receiving a donation. "We leave it up to the family," said Punch. "We've never been turned down y et" The names and locations of the family are kept confidential. Information about what they need is posted on the donation boxes to help donors select the most needed gifts. Apart from nonperishable foods, Punch said soaps, detergents, paper products and clothing also make good gifts. "It's a good time of the year to fcl£ar out pour closets. Jeans jackets and sticks are much needed items," she said. In addition to the gift drive, Punch said she is also looking for Christmas tree donors. On Nov. 30 a tree decorating party will be held in the Student Lounge. Students can bring ornaments to place on the trees. The decorated trees will be transported to needy families who otherwise would not have a tree. "During the holidays it's buy, buy, buy for family and friends," said Punch. "It's a good time to think of families and children who need things." PREGNANT TEENS GET HELP Student organizes support group L ARRY BOiSJOLIE/PIONEER Trying to gain an education can be a frustrating and difficult experience. Those in Charolette Bell's Students at Risk: Psychological and Educational Perspectives class see just how difficult learning can be. For her class, Bell requires that students spend a minimum of three hours per week helping troubled children transcend their problems and turn toward education. v Some students work* with kids on drugs or children of alcoholic families; others help those with learning disabilities. Anita Carter helps pregnant teens and young mothers learn how to get the most of their education while tending to a new life. "The group I chose are teenage moms who may not complete their education," says Carta*. "My number one purpose is for kids to get credits to finish high school through independent study." For three day? a week, Carter spends timeat Foothills Continuation School in San Marcos. She works .with young womenfrom15-18 years of age who have children or are expecting. Carter selected this group of students because she, like many of her students, is expecting a child. With the help of Janet Stoddard, who heads the program at Foothill, Carter hopes to create an environment that is conducive for study for the young mothers. "The fact that I'm pregnant brings k idsoutAlotof conversation isabout my baby," Carter says. She points out that many of the students have added incentive to complete their education because they "have another mouth to feed." To bring the students role models, Carter has organized a "shadow day" where women holding profes3ional occupations lead the young mothers girpugh a day in their lives. Carter found professionals such as bankers and attorneys to take on the kic(s for a day. On Dec. 10, these professionals will take the teens to their businesses to see what a life nurtured by education can bring. Carter found most of the sponsors through referrals from other businesspeople. She said when she tried to reach them "cold" her success was minimal. "A couple of professions had to turn it down because it would conflict with patient confidentiality," cites Carter. According to Carter, there are 13 to IS students in the program. She is confident that enough professionals will come forward to accommodate them. Atfirst,Carter gave each student a card to fill out, stating the kinds of professions which interest them. Some were quiet and reluctant to fill the cards out, but eventually Carter obtained good response.

Fees will also go toward the building of a Student Union complex on campus. According to Zomalt, the task force hopes to create a form of government that will serve as an educational model as well as a governmental system. "The members of the Task Force not only viewed the Associated Students asva governing body, but as a learning experience," he said. With a committee-management type of government, students serving in the Associated Student Government will be able to utilize their experience in their future places of employment Many corporations used this type of management system.

He said many wish ^ tó bfecbníé in Vólv&'but dóif t Mve the time presently to fit student government into their schedules. "We're still getting in survey forms from the beginning of the semester," he said. "Maybe students will say next semester that 'I can fit it into my schedule."' With a near doubling of the population in spring, Zomalt expects new students to also take part in the planning stages. He hopes those on the task forces will continue their momentum during the semester break. "There's enough stuff on the table for the (Task Force) students to mull over the interim," he said. In the spring task force members will continue on where they left off in the fall. Most of what was decided during this semester will serve as a broad base for future work. "By next fall, the fully functional Associated Student will be implemented," Zomalt said. According to Zomalt, the work completed is far behind what was originally expected. He said that nobody was aware of the amount of work to be done. "In good faith, the students came together to give it a shot, but they weren't that experienced. I appreciate the work of this group and what they have done," he said. "We all underestimated the magnitude of this job." » g �TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1990/PIONEER Clubs and Organizations "The work done by the Clubs and Organizations Subcommittee will probably be among the most unappreciated, but most vital," Zomalt said. Throughout the semester, the task force has developed an outline describing elements necessary forla student handbook. The handbook will present codes of action and conduct for students at CSUSM to follow. The subcommittee divided its general statements and definitions outline into three parts. The first part is an overview of activities and services that will be available for students in the coming years. It includes the advantages of being a Chartered Campus Organization and it will describe how student fees and activities will be implemented. In the second part of the handbook, campus policies and regulations will be put forth. Students will have policies regarding drugs, gambling harassment and abusive behavior among others that will affect the entire student population. "The work this task force does will concern all student organizations," Zomalt said. The third part will deal with the implementation of student discipline. Student policies on academic dishonesty, grade policies and disciplinary matters will be threshed out for the general population. According to Zomalt, the group found the work load to be far greater than originally anticipated. They sent for policies from other universities to aid them in developing a sophisticated, yet readable student handbook. The stack of documents they collected grew to about six inches tall. Zomalt said the outline represents a significant amount of work by the task force. In order to draft policies from the general structure that was created, the subcommittee must delve deeply into the policies of other state universities. "It turned out to be a much greater task than we originally thought," Zomalt said.

The slightly perturbed male voice was mentioning the most misquoted quote of all time. With jingoistic rhetoricfromWashington and Baghdad currently burning a hole the size of Kuwait in the ozone layer, the speaker was nothing, if not timely. The quote he mentioned was "My country right or wrong." I had always thought that was the full quote. The radio voice quickly set me straight. The entire quotation is: "My country P I O N E E R S T A F F WRITER right or wrong. *If right, to keep it right; if wrong, to put it right" ^ I suddenly wondered how many people had died because they had blindly lived by a misquotation, and more importantly, how many young men and woman may soon be sent home in zip-lock bags because of continued ignorance of the proper form of the quotation? When I got home, I tried to find out who had originally spoken these oft misquoted words. I was unsuccessful, but I did come across a number of others I'd like to share. I hope you find these words as pertinent today as they must have been when originally spoken. • How good bad music and bad reasons sound when we march against the enemy. — Nietzche • To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman. — Santayana • Three-quarters of a soldier's life is spent aimlessly waiting about — Rosenstock-Huessy • The martial character cannot prevail in a whole people but by the diminution of all other virtues. — Dr. Johnson • War can protect; it cannot create. - Whitehead • The third part of an army must be destroyed, before a good one can be made out of i t —Halifax • Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. —Wellington • In order to have good soldiers, a nation must be always at war. —Napoleon • Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues. — Hobbes •In time of war, the loudest patriots are the greatest profiteers. — Bebel • Liberty means responsibility.

A THOUGHT; " It's a good thing we Qjon't get all the government we pay for." WILL ROGERS State universities should ax lower-division curriculum The higher education system in California is monumental to a democratic society's commitment to education. It is certainly one of the most influential institutions in the world. The Master Plan for California collegiate education spells out a huge network of junior colleges, state universities, and the University of California (UC). Each division is distinguished by their place on the spectrum from teaching school to research institute. More specifically, the UC system is to nearly monopolize academic research, the community colleges are dedicated to broad student services, and the state universities are expected to walk a .middle road combining these contrary features. It is time to revisit the state university's mandate to examine if this contradiction in purpose is still plausible. Clearly, the state university circuit is the least precisely defined in mission. By nature it is distinguished from the junior college as baccalaureate and master degree-granting institutions, so most of the faculty are doctors (PhD). Community colleges issue only the perfunctory associate degree, and master degree holders dominate the faculty. Similarly, the state university is not like the University of California. It is not designed or equipped to be a research institute on that scale. Research is so heartily persued at UC, it is not unusual for the undergraduate to be taught several courses by a professor's assistant, thereby freeing up the scholar for the lab or library. On the other hand, the pressure on state university professors to "stay current in their field's literature" (meaning publish or perish) is in- DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER OPINION EDITOR tense, as in the UC. Likewise, the demands to retain students, serve the community, and teach well, virtually duplicates the visibility of a community college professor. Evidently, the missions of the state university are mutually exclusive in their current formulation. In order to abilitate the state universities to meet all of our expectations, it may be time to shuffle the assignments of services. It is an era demanding a greater degree of specialty by each division of California's higher education network. The arguments for relinquishing lower division courses at state universities, and thereby making them the privy of the community colleges, are convincing. The junior college provides better services to the student just entering the foray, while the state university best hosts the upper classperson who is prepared for a more mature and challenging academic environment. Specifically, the junior college can concentrate on those services most needed by the freshperson: study-skills, academic and career counseling, and vocational skills. It is an excellent time for the high-school graduate to discover and master the complexities of higher academia. At the same time, the re-entering student in his/her late twenties is invited to sample courses and brush-up on contemporaneous thinking. For both groups, the stage is embryonic due to the faculty's emphasis on teaching and counseling, rather than obscure research. The state university, on the other hand, provides an opportunity for the seasoned pupil to stretch both mental capacity and ability. By freeing the state university professor from theduldrumsof lower-division instruction,more energy can be dedicated to academic research. Since teaching would be focused on upperdivision courses, which tend to be more specialized, and less remedial, it is likely that more of the research can be incorporated into the curriculum. In this scenario, both the student and the teacher are beneficiaries. Finally, the state's higher education system will also be a benefactor in the coming age of specialization. There is an economics-of-scale that intuitively dictates that one institution cannot "do it all." By recognizing the distinctive qualities of lower and upper division students, the menu of services can be tuned to each population1 s needs with less duplication of expenses. That's good news at a time of multi-billion dollar deficits. Likewise, a less burdened state university professor, given a real chance to meet publication pressure, is a greater asset to everyone. �8 EXPLORI Bottles of varietals tempt local visitors at the gift shop of the Callaway Vineyard and Winery in Temecula.

Temecula Valleynowboasts 12winerieswithtastingrooms.Eacliof them unique and worth a visit Unfortunately,fivehours is not enough timetoeven begin to get the full enjoyment out of the wine-sampling experience. From conversations with fellow tasters I found that many SEE TASTE/PAGE 9 �TASTE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 people spend the weekend in the valley and still aren't able to enjoying the entire Wine Country. Thefirstwinery that I visited fit in with my sleepy-valley image, in that I drove on a dirt road through rows of grape vines to a wooden barn. Inside were stacks of barrels, both stainless steel and oaken, with the tasting bar tucked into the corner. Hart Winery is fam;iy owned and I was served an excellent assortment of wines by Bill Hart, the son of the founder, Travis Hart In 1973 Travis (Joe) Hart, a Physical Oceanographer at Scripps Institute, purchased 12 acres. Over the next several years he and his family planted the acreage with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot Grapes. In 1980 he bottled his first 350 cases of wine. Today the winery is buying local grapes and is bottling 6,500 cases. The Hart winery is open Saturdays for tasting from 11 to 4. Its wines include mostly dry white wines with a few sweater varieties. The prices run $6.50 for a bottle of Chenin Blanc to $12 for their Merlot. Be sure to try their Chardonnay! Traveling east on Rancho California Rd. I drove by several elegant Mediterranean-sty lebuildings. Thinking it was an exclusive country club I actually passed the entrance when it dawned on me that Culbertson was a name of a wine. To my joy this cosmopolitan winery made only champagnes. They charge $5.00 a person to sample three champagnes: Cuvee Rouge (a sparkling red Pinot Noir), Cuvée de Frontignan (an sparkling blend of Muscat and Pinot Blanc) and NV Brut (a classic brut Champagne). The John Culbertson Winery is located on 20 acres of vineyard. Tours are available every two hoursfrom10 to 4 on Sat and Sun. (for the next five weeks tours will be closed on Sat. because of production). The Café Champagne is a gourmet cafe designed to complement the famous Culbertson Champagnes. The tasting room is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In 1988,twoofCulbertson'schampagnes were served at the inaugural ball for President Bush and it has been chosen to be the champagne of the 1991 Super Bowl. The gift shop has a variety of 12 different champagnes and some interesting and unusual gift ideas. Almost across the street from Culbertson Winery is the Callaway Winery. Callaway is the largest winery, bottling 280,000 cases of white wine a year. The original vineyard was started by Ely Callaway in 1969 on 105 acres. In 1982 Hiram t alker Temecula Valley Wines Blanc De Blanc Made with Chardonnay grapes, this wine has a dry, plean bouquet. Bianc De Blancs have higher yeast contact than other whites so have a slightly "yeasty" flavor. It is best served as an aperitif. Chardonnay A rich, full-flavored white wine with subtle apple undertones. Chardonnays are quite dry and good with fish and veal. Fumé Blanc Chenin Blanc The Chenin Blanc grapes give this versatile white wine a clean and refreshing flavor. It is excellent with cheeses, veal or poultry. White Riesling Floral aromas and natural sweetness give this wine a remarkably drinkable characteristic. Wine aficionados and laymen alike will love this vintage with fruits, picnics and spicy dishes. Carmine Made with Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine is very dry with a subtle, complexity and richness ideal for grilled seafood and entrées in herb or cream sauces. Fumé Blancs are aged in oak barrels rather than steel tanks. A deep red wine with a rich ruby color, this vintage is scented with a black cherry and berry aroma. A very sweet and drinkable wine that is great with beef or heavy dishes. Sauvignon Blanc This deep red wine has a slight peppery flavor that softens with aging. It is a full-bodied varietal that is great with steaks or Italian food. This very dry white wine is perfect for fish and poultry or as an aperitif.

It offers tours and tasting daily from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Two dollars is charged for the tasting and you can take home your tasting glass. Callaway Winery offers only white wines, and prices run from $5.50 for its Spring Wine to $16.95 for the Blanc de Blanc. Be sure to try the White Riesling! Just down Rancho California Rd. is Mount Palomar Winery. This winery is tucked among the grape vines and nestled under California Oaks. Their idyllic setting is enhanced by the charming family atmosphere. MountPalomar Winery was started by John Poole in 1969 on 225 acres. He retired from KBIG radio station, which he founded, on Catalina Island. Mr. Poole brought vintner Joe Cherpin from Cucamunga Valley, to design the winery and lay out the grape fields. In 1975, MountPalomar produced its first bottles of commercial wine. It now bottles 15,000 cases with hopes of expanding to 25,000 cases in the near future. In 1993 the winery plans to premier its first red wine, SangioiieseRed. "It's a nice way to spend a weekend: drinking MountPalomar Champagne, eating fine cheese, good bread and smoked oysters," said Dale Bergeron, a visitor from El Toro. The winery provides a picnic area among the Oaks for the leisurely sipping of its fine wines. The winery is still family owned, with Peter and Bridget Poole making most of the decisions/ This family atmosphere radiates throughout the winery. Mount Palomar Winery is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily for tours and tasting. The gift shop has some lovely gift ideas. The tasting is free except for the Chardonnay, which costs 25 centsa taste. I really likedthe Chardonnay, it,s well worth the quarter tasting fee! A little farther east on Rancho California Rd. lies Maurice Carrie Winery. Iwas immediately impressed with the French, New Orleans style architecture, with rose-lined paths, and a dixieland band playing in the gazebo. The inside of the winery emanated a cozy-friendly mood. The servers were jovial and thé crowd was having KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER The Maurie CarrieWinery in Temecula has a European ambience that welcomes visitors from near or from far fun. One hundred and twenty acres of away. grapes were purchased by Budd and Maurice Van Roekel in 1986. They built the beautiful winery and tasting rooms three years ago. Tasting at Maurice Carrie Winery is free and fun. The servers are relaxed and helpful. The hours are from 9:30 a.m. tq 5 p.m. daily. The pçices are reasonable, ranging from $4.95 for Champagne-Maurice Carrie (also known as Buddy 's Bubbles) to $9.95 for Summer's End 1987, a late harvest Riesling.

These older plants produce a desired grape, bred for centuries by winemakers to yield the best tasting wines. By grafting the newer vines to the old root stocks, growers are able to add longevity to the vine stock. Natural grass and weeds are allowed to thrive between the vines to bring beneficial insects to eat those that chew away at grapes and their leaves. The Callaway vineyard has built roosts for hawks and owls on their vine structures to curb the rodent population and the winery breeds wasps to further eliminate pests. This natural approach to pest control works amazingly well. In its 21year existence, the vineyard has used pesticides only three times, and then only during periods that would not harm the grapes. Strict ordinances, regulating the usage of pesticides, protect all the local vineyards from inadvertent contamination. At Callaway, the vines are grown 42 inches above the ground to facilitate grape gathering for workers. The vineyard also found that jthis height, 10 inches higher than at other wineries, provided better air circulation EXPLORE under the vines, resulting in healthier fruit To conserve water, Callaway uses drip spigots to nourish the plants. The spigots also prevent the roots of the vinesfromrotting and mildewing. Toward the end of August the harvest begins. For three weeks the valley is flooded with workers, who franLOS ANGELES 9C MILES tically pick grapes at their sweetest, most tenderripeness. Atno other time of the year are grapes harvested. The grapes are transported to a crusher, which smashes 40 tons of grapes to liquid and pulp in six minutes. The juice is drained off and the rest (twigs, leaves and grape pulp) is transported by conveyor belt to a tank where the debris is settled for 24-36 hours and removed. Through this process, 95 percent of the juice is recoveredfromthe grapes. The remaining debris and juice is SAN DIEGO ground up and used as a natural m ulch 60 MILES for the vineyards.

To eliminate such a flavor, winemakers age the product in oak barrels. Callaway has 360 of the barrels, which hold a total of 10,000 gallons of wine. BarrelsfromFrance, costing $420 each, are used rather than American barrels because they produce a better flavor. American barrels give a cedar flavor to the wine. The age of the barrel also contributes to the taste. Vintages aged in year-old barrels, for instance, will have a stronger flavor than those aged infive-year-oldbarrels. The wine is then ready to be bottled and sent to distributors. Other local wineries use similar processes but on a much smaller scale. The John Piconi Winery , just east of Callaway vineyards, produces only 6,000 cases of wine each year. 3REÄSE MONKEY 10 MINUTE LUBE & OIL PROS WITH COUPON $20.99 plus tax Reg. $25.99 10-Minute LUBE & OIL CHANGE • Change oil • Check/fill battery fluid • Check wiper b lades • Check/fin windshield w asher » Lubricate c hassis • Check tire p ressure • Check/fill differential • Check/fill transmission fluid • Vacuum Interior • Check/fin power steering • Check/fill brake fluid • Wash windows •Air f iler c heck •pSr • Check a rti-ireeze » Replace oB (liter g EXPIRES 12/31/90 2 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS Maximum P rotection Against Vlacoalty an Thermal Breakdown 10W30 20W50 10W4030WL ESCONDIDO 649 N.

The semester also marked the planning of student governance that will lead the Associated Students into the 21st century. Here are the top stories of the semester in order of their release as reported by Pioneer. Women top men in enrollment "Ultimately, the faculty would have looked at the agreement and may have reached the same conclusions," he said. " It's important to mold a student government to meet the needs of the CS USM campus," said Sandra Kuchler, the assistant dean of student affairs we helped to organize the forums. Before the forums, 30 students submitted surveys, distributed during orientation, expressing interest in involvement.

The first week of school brought 313 women and 115 men to the infant university. In addition to the high number of women that attended CSUSM, the college also found a higher mean age than other colleges. With the average age of students at 29, officials speculated that reentry women were most inspired to attend CSUSM. "We're looking at reentry women at this age, rather than the typical college cohort," said Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt. Officials were also surprised at the low number of minorities that attended this semester. Among the low numbers of minorities taking classes were 38 Hispanic, 12 African American and eight American Indian students. Overall, officials found more Full Time Equivalent Students in attendance than expected. Zomalt said the college's major feeder was the nearby Palomar College. Journal may become literal reality Construction off to rocky start President cans Geology endowment Forums kick off student government Craven Hall bid under budget �TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIONEER NEWS "A $15 million project can really help a contractor make it through the rough spots." Amado said he thinks the below-budget Craven Hall bids will be reflective of the tone of future projects. He hopes bids for the campus's other "feature" buildings will be lower as well. The State University Board of Trustees approved the bid in November. Bookstore burglar steals Simpons Newspaper offers gift, alliance Times Advocate Publisher John Armstrong, in mid October, presented a proposal to the University Council outlining the donation of a stateof-the-art newsroom to the college. In return for the gift, the company is requesting paid circulation of the Times A dvocate on t he CSUSM campus and printing rights for the college student publication. The newsroom would assist the campus in the publication of a student newspaper as well as establish a foundation for a future journalism program. In addition to the newsroom, studentjournalists would also have access to professionals working at the Times Advocate. CSUSM President Bill Stacy said the proposal would have to be viewed through student, academic and business perspectives before it can be considered for approval. Members of the Student Newspaper Task Force, after reviewing the proposal, questioned the impact of the deal on a future student newspaper. Concerns were raised by the committee as to whether or not the student publication could retain its integrity if distributed inside the Times Advocate. The task force saw the proposal as a business deal rather than a gift. The deal will go before the University Council again this week for further discussion. TIMES ADVOCATE Task Force drafts mission statement At their Oct. 24 meeting, the Student Governance Task Force completed a draft of a mission statement that would set the foundation for the future Associated Students at CSUSM. "It was a necessary step before even doing a constitution," said task force member David Hammond. Task force members sought to write a broad, but firm, foundation for the university for the 21st-century. The statement included a commitment to 3 JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Students of CSUSM's first semester donned college T-shirts at a gathering Friday. Semester comment shared LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER After completion of the first semester of regular class sessions, students at Cal State San Marcos face this week's finals with mixed opinions. At an end-of-semester gathering held Dec.7, students listened to jazz music and talked among themselves about the past four months. Psychology Junior Jim Fix, found the high number of women at CSUSM to be "distracting." He said the maturity and drive of the older women students on the campus made the curriculum more challenging. "I've been beaten up (mentally) by women in class," said Fix. He said the female population on campus raised the intellectual quality of the university. "It was challenging, but rewarding," he said.

Dispute halts construction A dispute between Louetto Construction Inc., of Escondido, and grading subcontractor C.W Poss, of Anaheim, halted construction, for more than six weeks, of CSUSM's permanent campus off Twin Oaks Valley Rd.

"I've never met so many people in college that I actually know," she said. Ramirez, who came from MiraCosta Community College said she found the curriculum challenging and with a good faculty. History major Joel Ravy, who transferred from Palomar College, said he thought the instructors at CSUSM had high expectations for their first class of students. "The change from Palomar, regarding the difficulty, of classes was significant," said Ravy. Ravy said his classes were full of students seeking an alternative to the crowded facilities of the other state universities. Bill Kumik,aLiberal Studies Junior, found the curriculum to be not as challenging as his An Oct. 22 burglary in the Aztec Shops bookstore caused college officials to shout "Aye Caramba," after most of their stock of Simpsons paraphernalia was stolen. Along with T-shirts, buttons and baseball caps with the likenesses of Bart and the Simpson family, watches, calculators and cassette r ecorders were snatched; The bookstore's Macintosh computer and software worth thousands of dollars, however remained untouched. Bookstore manager Deborah Meeker estimated the cost of items stolen at $1,486.70. The theft occurred between 3 a.m. and 6:50 a.m. when the campus's security, Wells Fargo, was not on patrol. Vista Sheriffs officer A. R. Riley found evidence of forced entry at the store's rear window. There are still no suspects in the crime. Prop. 143 refusal could hurl plans The turndown of Proposition 143 on the Nov. 6 ballot left campus officials scrambling to find funding for the construction of the permanent site of the campus off Twin Oaks Valley Rd. Campus officials are now faced with a $10 million shortfall in revenues that would have available had the proposition passed. Even though the State Legislature has approved $37 million for the first phase of campus construction.

The San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Company has been awarded an interim contract to replace the troubled Louetto. C.W. Poss, the grading subcontractor hired by Louetto to prepare the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. site for construction halted work for six weeks after Louetto failed to pay them for work completed on the project. College officials contacted Louetto's bonding company, Reliance Surety of Seattle, in an effort to resolve the dispute. Because the conflict remained unresolved by Oct. 31, Reliance informed the university that they could take over the project after Louetto's contract was terminated. CSUSM then fired Louetto, leaving the campus without a builder. On Nov. 9, Reliance announced the selection of Lusardi Construction Co. to resume the work on the campus. Lusardi began work on the project yesterday. College officials are hopeful that the delay will not postpone the fall 1992 opening of the permanent campus. Spanish Book Center opens As part of the university's goal of creating an atmosphere of global awareness, a Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents opened at CSUSM on Dec. 6. TheCenter,the only oneof its kind in the world, contains books in Spanish for children and books for youths in English about Hispanics. "The main purpose of the Center is to get children to read," said Isabel Schon, director of the Center and a member of CSUSM's founding faculty. The Center will host experts in the fields for lectures on Spanish books, and will hold Café literarios, informal discussions on the literature in the program. �TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIQNEER NEWS UNIVERSITIES RUN TESTS AIDS study shows HIV infection rate I am often asked if we are seeing many cases of AIDS at Student Health Services. To my knowledge we have seen none from students from Cal State San Marcos, but at the main campus of San Diego State we have seen a small number of AIDS cases. In truth, until this week, we really did not know how many or what percentage of students test positive for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and the American College Health Association revealed an HIV infection rate of 0.2 percent, or one in 500 college students. Nationally, it is estimated that between 25,000 and 35,000 college students are infected with HIV. The study was conducted at 19 colleges throughout the country using 16,863 blood samples drawn randomly from students who were seeking care for other reasons at student health centers. SDSU, USC and Cal Berkeley were part of the study. The results were not identified by university, so no school specific rates are known. Of the 19 colleges, positive results were found at nine schools, with 10 schools having no positive HIV tests. W e feel because of known HIV cases, that SDSU is likely to be one of the nine schools with positive HIV tests. In the study there were 30 positive tests with only two of them being in females. Therefore, the rate for men should be 5 percent and for women two-hundreths of 1 p ercent Rates for Caucasians, African Americans and Mexican Americans were similar but not meaningful, since the numbers of African Americans and Mexican FIRST CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 previous school, Cal Poly Pomona.

These statistics present both good and bad news. The good news is that the rate of HIV infection is about what you might see in the general population and lower than the rates in highrisk groups such as homosexual males, IV drug users or people attending STD clinics. The bad news is that it exists and has the potential for serious spread in the campus community. We also knowriskybehaviors exist on campus due to the prevalence of other STDs and unwanted pregnancies. This information underscores the need to persuade college students to use condoms, limit the number of their sexual partners and otherwise reduce their risk of becoming infected. "Prevention of HIV infection through education and interventions to help develop and maintain safe behaviors that will reduce the risk of HIV transmissions should be a priority mission of all institutions of higher education," state the authors of the study.

Leaverton said that the college also does not give students proper facilities to conduct research for required papers.

S TAFF E DITORIAL MAC computes better for buyer For anyone considering the purchase of a home computer, now is a great time. In a marketfloodedwith choices, the shopper's first choice is still a simple one: whether to go to the Macintosh or the IBM corner. Fortunately, the software-that portion of the purchase that makes the beast do useful things-is now available for both arenas in equal supply. In other words, our first decision is not dictated by a dilemma of a few years ago, when business packages were usually written for the DOS (IBM genre) system, and graphics delivery was the MAC stronghold. Additionally, the synergistic combination of recession, Christmas season, and academic marketing make for more "bang-per-buck" than ever. For my money, there is still a clear winner in the final analysis from the perspective of the home or small business user: the MAC. Interestingly, my answer was opposite this conclusion just a few years ago, when, as I stated, the software supply was divided roughly in half. That era's entrenchment of IBM desktops and software just made the "big-blue" a logical ally for the business person. As is typical of the computer industry, those facts we could swear by yesterday are today's jokes. The MAC is quintessential this year's small user's wisest choice. Irresistible to the writer, consultant, and student is the Macintosh Classic for less than $800.00. This is perfect if the emphasis is on ease of learning and use. Simple, logical icons and menus provide direct and effective paths to final production of letters, reports (with graphics), lists-management (such as customer addresses), and financial analysis. If a lot of work is to be stored and recalled later, the MAC Classic can be purchased with an.internal 40 MegaByte Hard Drive (a vast electronic file cabinet) for only $1,195. This model includes twice the RAM memory, thereby expanding the choice of utilities (applications software) that can be incorporated. For the more sophisticated party, the Macintosh SE/30, with 40 MegaByte hard Drive, is a good investment at $2,295. The architecture (internal engineering and parts) is geared to crunch more numbers faster, and this translates to quicker response to commands, as well as more power automating business tasks, such as statistics and accounting. There are plenty of ports (extra plugs) to allow for expansion;bigger pictures; anchretfwarkmg.'Gveralk this is a safe, longterm solution to the d ata-management question as it arises in the s mall D AVID H AMMOND ofc st fi e e PIONEER OPINION EDITOR ^S- Finally, a somewhat over-simplified historical perspective is in order to fully describe and understand the MAC's current advantage in this price/application range. The DOS-driven personal computers are really relics in the stylistic evolution of the desktop. Designed by computer scientists in the early eighties, the environment reflects the code-intensive, cryptic parametrics of the mainframe/mini-computer models developed and marketed by IBM, DEC, and Hewlett Packard throughout the seventies. Steve Job's Apple computer company sought to build a new data world based on the paradigm that a larger percentage of the user population was ready to use the computer as a tool, automator, and decision system-provided that the interface (relationship) was a friendly one. Put differently, the writer wants to get out a novel, the consultant a report, and the accountant a spreadsheet, but none of them care how the job gets done. Hence, the mouseand-picture Macintosh exploded onto a vacuous market of ready-but-frustrated buyers. Two recent facts illustrate the depth of acceptance of the so-called mouse-and-icon design in desktop computers. Firstly, it is noteworthy that IBM hangs in the game with a new line of mouse-and-icon designs ala MAC. True to form, the conversion via the Windows software has its price: it takes up a lot of disk memory, and thereby increases initial outlay while detracting from usable applications. All we really need to know is that among users and MIS managers alike, Macintosh consistently rates higher in customer satisfaction, business performance, productivity, and connectivity ¿and lower in administrative and training costs (Diagnostic Research, Inc., March 1990 survey). Truly, the MACiwa* cheated ion ike wser^ a ; Obviously, with the exponential growth of CSUSM, crowds of shuffling students are expected. It wouldn't even be very shocking to find the future students of CSUSM confined to uncomfortable chairs. What would be alarming, is if the complacency plaguing other universities infects this new, idealistic campus. The Typhoid Marys infecting many of the colleges throughout the country are the companies that produce ready-made term papers complete with footnotes and bibliographies. These companies, through a catalog of available papers, will send completed reports to students for a fee. As a result students can submit professional papers to their unsuspecting instructors and glean above-average grades for below-average work. The only writing a student needs to do is filling out the envelope requesting the report. Most of these companies do not intend to encourage academic dishonesty, rather they produce these documents as aids to students writing complex research papers. Unfortunately, there are those who take advantage of such offerings and spoil the opportunities for others who would use the reports responsibly. Most students at CSUSM are unaware that such services exist, but other universities are vigilant in their combatting of the problem. Recently, The Daily Aztec was criticized by San Diego State University for printing ads placed by some of these term-paper-manufacturing businesses. Trying to prevent the problem of prefab term papers by attacking a newspaper's advertising policy is not the answer. The Daily Aztec does not advocate these services any more than they advocate the consumption of Budweiser Beer or Domino's Pizza. They are simply getting funds for their business. The solution to the problem lies with the policies of instruction by professors at CSUSM. At a university where writing in every course is a requirement, instructors should monitor the process in which papers are created. Some instructors already review papers during the stages of their construction. Rough drafts and note cards are required far before final drafts are due. In classes where multiple papers are due, a review of the first paper should be required. Such a program would minimize the use of prefab reports by students by familiarizing instructors with the works of their pupils. It should be expected in a school that requires a minimum of 10 written pages per course. In this age of computer modems, the availability of these ready-made papers will be increased. Soon a student will be able to gain access to a research paper over the telephone in minutes rather than days or weeks. It would be nice to think that CSUSM will remain the personal educational institution it is today forever, but such thoughts aren't realistic. With population growth, a depersonalization between a great portion of the student population will most likely fester. Hopefully professors will help their students grow in their writing abilities instead of watching them shrink with complacency. �UESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1990/PIQNEEB ~ 0PlNI0N 7 Creating world peace starts at home PIONEER 250-2 S.

TINY TIM/from 'CHRISTMAS CAROL' Originally I was going to write about either the effects of mustard gas on the human body, or a simulated telephone conversation between Saddam Hussein and George Bush the night of Jan 14,1991. But then I remembered that this would be my last column before Christmas. And who can get into the holiday spirit reading about sloughed lung tissue, burned-out eyeballs and two morally bankrupt heads of state? So instead I'm ruminating over the much-talked-about commodity: World Peace. If almost everyone is in favor of it, why is it in much short supply? We can blame the international arms cartel which would go belly up if peace broke out. Or we can accuse the CIA, presently aiding or actively participating in more than 50 destabilization operations of third world governments. Or we can point the finger at religious/racial/ethic/tribal intolerance so popular around the globe. Or we can even blame world leaders impoverishing their countries by acting on the fatuous belief that wealth can be created with a printing press. But all of the above are merely symptoms of world turmoil. The true cause lies much closer than the sands of the MidEast. To misquote the old comic strip character, Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and it is us." Peace, like charity and every other trait, begins at home. Until we each as individuals achieve peace, there is zero probability that the world is going to. A "Visual World Peace" bumper sticker on your car doesn't carry much weight if you grow apoplectic and homicidal when someone cuts you off on the freeway. If you go home after a peace march and berate your children or spouse, kick your dog and yell obscenities at the TV when an NFL referee makes a bad PIONEER STAFF WRITER call, I doubt if you'll soon risk deafness from the sounds of swords being beaten into plowshares. But true peace doesn't come just from treating others with respect. While we must always take responsibility for our actions, we need to also treat ourselves with equal doses of kindness and a sense of humor. That means consciously listening for the nagging voice within each of us that constantly tells us we're not good enough, smart enough, attractive enough, rich enough and whatever enough, and shutting it off. Then we need to replace that voice with self-praise and kindness for the small victories we achieve each day but never take credit for. I know you can do it. But will you? If you choose not to, world peace must forever remain a pipe dream. But if you take the "leap of faith" in yourself, who knows? Dan Quail may be teaching Hussein sand sculpture by Christmas. K EN CARTER Letters to the Editor Where is Ertirea? For the past three years, I wetit to Palomar College. Almost all the students I talked to asked me where I came from, and when I replied that I came from Eritrea, East Africa, almost all students would ask the questions, "Is that where Apartheid is?" "Where is Eritrea near to?" and s oon. Then I had to take the time to explain to the students that South Africa does not mean East Africa, knowing that when they heard Apartheid they also heard South Africa. At that time it really did not bother me so much, but it starts to bother me now since I transferred to CSU San Marcos because the same thing is happening. I know American media is not actively telling the American people where Eritrea is located, but once in a while the media brings some hungry kids and elderly men and woman from the Eritrea region, Ethiopia. I would like to tell the campus community where Eritrea is located and its background so that I wouldn't get the same responses that I have been getting from the Palomar College community. Eritrea is located in the horn of Africa with its boundaries to the west with Sudan, to the south with Ethiopia, to the east with the Red Sea, occupying about650 miles of miles and apopulation of 3.5 million. Letters Welcome PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs. Letters should be no longer than 250 words and be signed by the author with his/her phone number as a contact. Eritrea's historical background is marked by foreign aggressors and invaders like almost all African countries. After the Turks and Egyptians, the Italians invaded Eritrea in 1889 and succeeded their colonization until 1941 when they were defeated by the British forces. From 1941 until 1952, Eritrea was under British Administration. In 1950, contrary to the Eritrean people's demand for their independence, the United Nations resolved to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia. In 1952, the federation went into effect and the British forces left Eritrea. As soon as the federation went into effect, the Ethiopian government started to violate the federal arrangement and finally on Dec. 2, 1962, Ethiopia annexed Eritrea. Because of the terrorization and the oppression by the Ethiopians against the Eritreans, the Eritrean people started their struggle for selfdetermination against Ethiopian government in 1961. Since then, for almost three decades, Eritrea has been in war against Ethiopia. This is just a short introduction to where Eritrea is located and why I feel it is necessary that at least the college-educated people should be able to know about it. It is also important to know Eritrea is a historic country. It is historic because Eritrean people fought and are still fighting the longest and loneliest war in the world. So, since the United States is in the mood of liberating annexed countries, like Kuwait, I hope someday they will also be supportive to the Eritrean struggle for self-determination. When that moment comes, I guarantee that all the people who have never heard the word Eritrea will know exactly what it means. They will also know the difference between South Africa and East Africa because the media will be projecting the outcome of the long struggle of the Eritrean people. But for right now, since I am part of thè ' campus community and I am sure I will be asked where I came from, please be informed where exactly Eritrea is located so you don't get it mixed with Apartheid. G EZAI BERHANE/CSUSTUDENT Fee increase wrong I got mine. Did you? Now there's a financial hold on my university records. Sounds like academic blackmail to me. If you paid yours without a valid budgetary reason, shame on you. All CSU students got a non-detailed invoice notice that they had to pay additional fees. Fees that weren't previously disclosed. Mine amounted to $12, which was a part-time fee difference. If that explanation is good enough for you, I suppose you deserve to be cheated out of the price of a pepperoni pizza or tickets for two to the movies. I work hard for what little money I get. Without a good reason, why should I sacrifice my expendable income? I've already paid my fees. I thought I was paid in full. End of story, which leads to speculation. Why does the CS U system need a post mortem fee of $ 12 from each student in the CS U system ? For the 354,734 students currently enrolled, this amounts to $4,256,808. That's a lot of money! Maybe it was poor planning. Maybe it was unforeseen costs. Maybe it wasfiscalmismanagement or afinancialstatement error. The fact is that fiscal mistakes, those past and present, are passed along to those of us who are the most vulnerable to such an unwarranted assault. Twelve measly dollars might not seem like much, but if you're giving away money, please send it to me. At least I'm polite and I can give you a good reason why I need it.

One of the greatest joys for adults is seeing the reactions and hearing the meaning of the holiday through children. Cal State San Marcos student Debbi Ricketts talked to children at the YMCA preschool to find their views of the holiday. For some children, Christmas means snow and snowmen. Others find the joy of Christmas in the gifts. Still others are unsure of exactly what Christmas is. • "Christmas means to have snow, presents and a big army truck," says 4-year-old Kevin. • Mark, also age 4, says, "Christmas means the snow and a snowman." • "Christmas means I will dress up for Halloween and play Leggos," said Paul, age 3, who had some obvious confusion in holidays. "All I want for Christmas is Leggos." • Camielle, age 4, says, "Snow and Baby Bubbles, that's all Christmas is." • Four-year-old Danny says, "Christmas is snow, but it never snows here. It only snows at my grandma and grampa's house." • Victor, age 4, also thinks the meaning of Christmas lies in snow. He says, however that the lack of snow won't stop the jolly, old elf himself from coming to his house. "I have a chimney in my house and Santa Claus comes down it and gives me lots of toys." • "Christmas is lots of snow and we eat lots of stuff, lots of candy," said Mallory, age 3. "I would like a ring and a new jacket. I will make cookies for Santa Claus," she said. Another CSUSM student asked members of a nearby Cub Scout troop to share their impressions of the holiday season. These children found religious significance in the holiday, but still were primed for the spirit of giving. Many of those interviewed wanted video game systems. • Others, like 4-year-old Cindy, find Christmas to be a simple holiday. "On Christmas I go get , my tree and decorate it. That's i t? r • Jamie, age 12, says, "Christmas is all about giving. Presents are important, but i f's most of all food." Jamie only asks for one gift this year, "I want a CD player." • Ten-year-old Matt sees a religious significance in the season. "Christmas is Jesus's birthday. My favorite part is opening presents. I want a Nintendo game.' • "Christmas is giving, sharing and loving," says 10-year-old Shane. "I like it when we get the Decisions! Decisions! Decisions! The Christmas season is filled with decisions! Like what to buy for Aunt Betty, or whether to serve pumpkin or cherry pie; but who would have thought that one of the most time-consuming decisions I would face this holiday season would involve the selection of a Christmas Tree. The problems began with the explicit contradictory directions my family gave me on what type of tree should grace our living room. My daughter wanted a tall, thin tree for the corner. My husband wanted a short, fat tree that would fit on top of a coffee table, and my sons wanted a tall thick tree to go in the front window (the type where most of the living room furniture is pre-empted to the garage to make room for the tree). Full of all these helpful instruction, I drove to the Christmas Ttee Store, a live "tag now and cut later" Christmas tree lot in Valley Center. I had allowed myself about a halfhour to pick out the tree. Upon arriving at the lot I thought that thirty minutes was more than enough time, for there were beautiful pines everywhere I looked. Ron and Oshia Zace, owners of the Christmas Tree Store, provide the tree shoppers with white PVC pipe marked with bright red tape at one foot intervals. The pipe helps guarantee that someone doesn't buy a 10-foot tree for an eight-foot living room. The only problem I found with the pole, other than feeling like a knight carrying a standard into battle, is that the terrain in Valley Center is less than flat.

It wasn't long before I found a likely-looking tree. I circled it two or three times, like a dog looking for a place to nap, checking for hard to hide holes. My attention was diverted by this voluptuous looking green beauty two rows up and five trees over. And so it went as I hiked up and down the hills, being continually called by the tree in the next row. After four hours, not the allotted thirty minutes, of meandering through 20 acres of green beauties, brandishing my measuring pole, I finally made my decision. I think I picked out a tree about six feet tall and six feet in diameter, with a straight back, evenly trimmed branches, and a heart and soul. Ripping off the bottom of the tree ticket, I started back to the Santa barn to pay for my prize tree. Of course, I had picked a tree at the far end of the acreage so that I had to walk through rows and rows of pines to get to the sales counter.

Below is a list of local productions of this Charles Dickens' fable; other holiday shows listings follow: ELAINE WHALEY/PlONEER The San Diego Repertory Theatre's current adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic'A Christmas Carol', is a surprisingly original production the entire family will enjoy. Rousing music, amusing choreography and the unexpected ethnic diversity of the cast combine in this sometimes humorous, sometimes dramatic and always entertaining production. Though D ickens's original novel is closely followed, a few modern twists have been successfully added. The setting of the opening scene is a vacant lot and the characters are a group of conHOLIDAY temporary transients. A fascinating duality HAPPENINGS of character occurs when these homeless people are transformed into the familiar Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Crachit, Tiny Tim and the various spirits of Christmas that populate the Dickens novel. The use of this device illustrates the obvious metaphor; the poor in the alley of 19th-century London are clearly the same disadvantaged who populateourparkbenchesandvacantlots. Their world hasn't changed all that much. We are invited to self-examination in a cheerfully entertaining way. Many of the comic moments in this production result when the transients fall out of their Dickens characters. Few of these opportunities for buffoonery were left unexplored by the cast. Leon Singer plays the miserly Scrooge and brings the character from his initial moral bankruptcy into eventual redemption with convincing fervor. Richard Allen makes a comic black Ghost of Christmas Present with an unforgettable singing voice. The Ghost of Christmas past, Helen Reed Lehman, haunts Ebenezer Scrooge, Leon Singer, in the San Diego Repertory Theatre's production of 'A Christmas Carol.' Kory Abosada, who play Tiny Tim, is a talented 10-year-old from San Diego School of Creative and performing Arts. Although his one short song was obviously difficult for him, it was manfully rendered. Acting and dancing are definitely his strong suits. Thomas Buderwitz designed a set which coped imaginatively with the restrictive dimensions of the Lyseum Stage and managed to convey a sense of 19th-century England using materials available to street people. Some changes occurred onstage without interrupting the flow of action, due in part to some inventive lighting design by John B. Foibes. Currently playing at the Lyseum Stage in Horton Plaza, the show runs through Dec. 23. Tickets range from $15 to $25 depending upon the day and time of the show. In the spirit of Christmas and as part of the Rep's holiday program for disadvantaged and shelter families, patrons are urged to bring unwrapped gifts to each performance. There will be distributed at a special benefit performance on Dec. 19. Broadcasters, performers organize toy drive In conjunction with San Diego Repertory Theatre's annual production of Charles Dickens's 4 A Christmas Carol,' theREPandKFMB Channel 8 will sponsor "A Magic Christmas" for hundreds of children of San Diego's shelter Horton Plaza or to Channel 8 at 7677 Engineer Road. These gifts will be distributed to children and families invited to a special performance of 'A Christmas Carol' on Dec. 19 followed by a families. reception. " ... we learned last year that these children Throughout the performance o f 4 A Christmas Carol,' patrons are encouraged to bring a new and families are the ones who need that special unwrapped gift to the REP's Lyceum Theatre in gift of love because they can't go home," said Channel 8 Public Affairs Director Maria Velasquez, "there is something wrong - violence or neglect" Among the organizations which will be included in the "Magic Christmas" program are; Hillcrest Receiving Home, S t Vincent de Paul, Casa de Amparo, Hidden Valley House, Southeast Emergency Quarters, Project Safehouse and Casa de Paz.

When If it's holiday time, it must be time for yet he realizes that he is in charge of the household, another John Hughes movie. Hughes, with his he puts aside some of his childhood needs and sugar-coated messages, has come up with yet trades them for a shopping cart and a laundry another sickeningly sweet morsel with his latest basket. He shows himself that he is not the venture, 'Home Alone.' helpless baby his family believes him to be. The film's predictable plot leaves precocious The funniest part of the movie comes when a 8-year-old Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, pair of Mutt and Jeff burglars (Joe Pesci and accidentally stranded at home while his family Daniel Stern) attempt to rob Kevin's fortress. jets off to Paris. For 10 minutes, the boy pits his wits against the For Kevin, the opportunity to be master of the criminals and wins hilariously. Discovering the house affords him the chance to live in child- clever traps set by Kevin is almost worth the hood heaven. He shovels down massive ice price of admission. cream sundaes while watching gangster movies As Kevin, Culkin is addictingly cute, but, in and sliding down the stairs on a toboggan. the hands of Director Chris Columbus ('The LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Goonies'), this cuteness is a bit overplayed. Close-ups of Kevin screaming after he puts on after-shave or sees the mysterious man next door, are far too frequent to be effective. Even so, Culkin plays his part with a childish zest that is a joy to watch. In Culkin we see a new leading man that the under-8 crowd can look up to. He is cute, independent and more intelligent than most of the adults in the film. Any child under 12 will see Kevin as a hero who lives out all their fantasies and doesn't suffer retribution. Pesci and Stern give adequate performances as the bumbling burglars as do John Heard and Catherine O'Hara as Kevin's undersighted parents. Wholesale Rob Reiner directs suspense in Misery' SUNGLASSES BONUS DISCOUNT I HI A O / ° OPEN TO THE PUBLIC • WHY PAY RETAIL? J ONATHAN YOUNCyPIONEER Ann Wilkes stands up straight and settles her weight on the back of her heals. She has just finished a task and tells her new guest that she loves him. The guest, novelist Paul Randall, screams in pain, because her task was to crush his ankles with a sledge hammer. The hobbling, as she called her task, is the only terror that Kathy Bates' character casts on her guest in 'Misery.' The new Stephen King bookturned-movie has strong suspense to its advantage, but the final terror lets the audience down in comparison. James Caan plays the best-selling novelist that is saved by Ann Wilkes after a car crash during a snow storm. It's immediately known that Wilkes is Randall's number one fan and he's alive because she's a nurse. A normal relationship is established, characters are developed, and Randall's wound begins to heal. The tables turn when Bates' character reads the latest 'Misery' book, the last in the series of books that gave Randall his fame. In this book, the main character is killed to finally conclude the lengthy succession. The number one fan is now pissed off. The tension and suspense grows as Wilkes forces Randall to write a new book, reviving 'Misery's' character. Wilkes' past crimes, insanity and terror now slowly become known. With the great build up and superb acting by both Caan and Bates, the expectation isn't met. There is no release, no climax; it was a let down. The final scenes however, might move the fastest and have the most audience response. It is in thespjilm frames that Caan' s character reips his own horror on his capture. Going into further detail here, however, will give the ending away. Bob Reiner traverses the directing chasm from comedy to this horror film. The path probably wasn't easy as evident in some scenes, but it definitely can be considered a success. Caan has a rather easy role, due to his physical immobility from the accident. This restrains his performance to dialog and facial expressions which he accomplishes with the ease of an accomplished actor. Fairly new to the big screen, Bates gave a fantastic performance in the more difficult role. She had to be convincingly nice and sweet, a true fan, but she also had to able to put terror into hervictim. Her acting shines bright and she gains the spotlight as the best performer in the show. Overall, 'Misery' is recommended because of a skillful suspense development and superb acting and directing. Even thought the film dons the title of 'horror show,' however, don't expect a lot of blood and guts or a lot of dramatic climax. OVSSi ^ ' w i Will MATCH A N f ^ ADvansfconucE > ^ ,C ^ ^ é ^ ^ «-tA^ W^T^AI ^ John Williams offers a whimsical score that captures the spirit of an 8-year-old. Once again he proves himself to be the master at writing movie scores. Even with Columbus's direction the film is unmistakenly earmarked as a John Hughes project It is filled with those gooey, sentimental messages about the American family that have clouded other Hughes movies like 'The Breakfast Club' or 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.' 'Home Alone' is a mildly entertaining cute movie with basically only 10 funny minutes. If you're home alone for the evening, you're better off with a good book. If you're stuck with the kids for the night, 'Home Alone' is much better entertainment than 'Family Ties' reruns. Receive An I I m / g g ^ F Additional | %Jf / y p Our Already super low prices.

These reactions were gaged in an unscientific anonymous poll by Pioneer of 39 students at CSUSM. The sample reflects about 6.5 percent of the population attending the university. Thirty-one of those sampled were women, with the remaining eight responses coming from men, accurately reflecting the gender demographics of the campus. Of those sampled, 16 were between the ages of 18-25; 10 were between the ages 26-32; seven were between the ages 33-40, and the remaining six were above 40 years-old. Of those surveyed, only two felt that the U.S. should no longer continue its activity in the Persian Gulf. Two people held no opinion, while the remainder of the students said the U.S. should continue with its involvement. Of the students who indicated that involvement should continue, one said that forces should be reduced. Most of those polled felt that there were multiple reasons for America's involvement in the Persian Gulf. Thirty-three responses indicated that the U.S. became involved to stop Hussein from gaining too much power. Twenty-five felt that the U.S. was in the region to liberate Kuwait, while only 23 felt that oil was the reason for military presence. One student said that the conflict in the Middle East is an ego trip by world leaders. The student said that this is an opportunity for those leaders to test their military weapons.

Those that commented further on events in the Middle East, expressed concerns about protestations over the war e ffort One student asked, "Where were the peaceniks when he (Hussein) invaded a defenseless neighbor?"

NEWS 3 B udweiser d istributer g ives l argest l ocal g ift With a donation to help in the formation of a scholarship program at Cal State San Marcos, Ken Markstein, president of Markstein Beverage Co. in San Marcos, has committed $100,000 to the university, making him the largest local contributor to the university. CSUSM President Bill Stacy announced the contribution January 23, five days before the commencement of the spring semester. "It's a splendid thing that Mr. Markstein has done," Stacy said. "To receive such a strong voice of confidence from our neighbor in the community is a great thing. Particularly in these difficultfiscaltimes,Mr. Markstein's generosity grants to us the flexibility that provides excellence to our students in North County." The g ift from Markstein will be awarded in increments over the next 10 years, with thefirst$10,000 check endowing a scholarship program for business students. The second year?s check will endow related faculty enhancement for the MBA program to be developed at the university. Each year's donation thereafter will alternate between funding student scholarships and faculty enhancement. Director of Financial Aid, Paul Phillips, said that details regarding the scholarships will be announced later in the year. He said the contribution is an "absolutely wonderful" addition to the Financial Aid program. Bernard Hinton, founding faculty professor of Business Management, said in a written statement that the endowment could strengthen ties to the business community. "TheCollegeof Business Administration is deeply committed to a close working relationship with the North County business community; we are equally aware of our responsibility to justify their faith in us," Hinton wrote. "With the support of such community citizens as Ken, we expect to be able to provide the quality education the North County area desires and deserves." Markstein Beverage Co. is the North C ounty d istributor f or Budweiser Beer and other Anheiser BusQh products. The gift, which will be called The Markstein Beverage Co. Scholarship Program, is the largest contribution to CSUSM to be made locally. It marks the third largest endowment to date. Earlier in the yfear, Bill Daniels, of Daniels Cablevision in Denver, endowed $250,000 for the formation of a chair in Communications. Most recently, Itoman, a Japanese trading finn, announced a $500,000donation last September for the establishment of an annual international festival. Another $250,000 endowment, by Allan O, Kelly of Carlsbad, was rejected by the college last fall following criticism from the academic community. The Kelly endowment would have helped form a chair in Geology. Markstein could not be reached for comment as of press time, but Stacy indicated that the donation was made as a gesture of community support. "He wanted to d o something as a hometown guy to support our programs" he said.

FEBRUARY 5 , 1 991 /PIONEER 5 Hepatitis threat greater than earlier thought You are probably feeling saturated with information concerning sexually transmitted diseases; however, some recent studies and initiative by the Centers for Disease Control reveal the Hepatitis B Virus (HB V) infection is more a more serious threat to the college-age population than was previously thought HB V is among a group of viruses including, human papilloma virus (HPV—commonly referred to as genital warts), human immune deficiency virus (HIV), and herpes simplex virus (HSV)—labeled the "modern sexually transmitted diseases" by many. These viruses carry the potential to cause serious illness, including various cancers and death. Specifically, HBV infection, for which if there is no treatment, can lead to impaired liver function, chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The severity of the disease ranges from unapparent cases (with no recognizable signs and symptoms) to a fulminating fatal illness (rarely). Usually, Hepatitis B patients have some mild ¡¡ m u f*B U I k| fܧ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡I mm H EALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS symptoms and occasionally jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), but frequently are diagnosed as having a mild viral infection or the so-called gastrointestinal flu. Approximately 10 percent of patients will becomecarriers. Also, a certain numberof carriers will develop chronic, active hepatitis which leads to serious problems. That brings us to the mode of transmission. HBV causes 300,000 infections annually and these occur primarily in young adults. Trans- Y earbook s urvey o rigin q uestioned Yearbookcommitteemembersand Cal State San Marcos administrators are puzzled over the origin of survey forms recently distributed around the campus. According to BarbaraPender, who leads the student subcommittee on the organization of a yearbook, the survey questionnaire entitled, "Student Survey for First Class Yearbook," did not come from the yearbook staff. In fact, says Pender, the survey contains questions that are too personal for use in the forthcoming publication. "We don't want to know who a person's spouse is or what the spouse's occupation is," said Pender. "We're not going to make the yearbook a personal biography." At first Pender thought the survey was placed by someone on the year* book committee, but all members denied drafting the questionnaire. She then looked to the administration for the source of the survey, but found no answers there either. "We thought, It's got to be someone within the system. The box where the surveys were dropped had a logo from the Staff Directory," said Pender. Linda Leiter, secretary of Student Services, said she has no idea from where the survey came. Barbara Davis, receptionist in the President's Office, and Sandra Punch, coordinator of Student Services at SDSU North County and CSUSM, also were perplexed over the survey's origin. "Itjustappeared,"saidPunch.Most of the flyers that are distributed around campus pass through Punch's office. After finding no link between the administration and the survey, Pender pulled all copies from the Student Lounge and gave them to the Office of Student Services. Yearbook subcommittee member Mary Parker said she saw a welldressed man in his forties place surveys in the Student Lounge last semester, but thought the survey was a college-sanctioned document. Pender and officials are also perplexed over a reference to the "Student Affairs Office" at the bottom of the questionnaire. The official title belonging to the department which handles student activity is "Student Services" and not "Student Affairs." The survey is printed on a blue stock paper similar to that found in the university's copy rooms, but it was written on a typewriter and not a computer. The college uses computers for most of its document drafts. Pender said shedoesn't believe the survey was distributed out of malice, but feels it could harm the reputation of the yearbook committee. "Because of this, the yearbook is not going to be putting out surveys," cited Pender. "Why would anybody go through such trouble—such cost— to sabotage the yearbook?" mission of the virus is by sexual exposure, blood transfusions, needle exposure, and perinatal exposure (in the pregnancy and birth process). Among the college age population, Hepatitis B virus is transmitted mainly through heterosexual activity with either a carrier or someone who has the active disease. What is new is that heterosexual activity as a cause of HBV has increased 38 percent in the last five years, accounting for 25 percent of the cases of HBV, and replacing homosexual activity on importance as ariskfactor. Heterosexual activity considered as highrisk for HBV infection includes duration of sexual activity (years sexually active), number of sexual partners, and history of other STDs. As any/each of these risk factors increase, so does theriskof acquisition of Hepatitis B virus infection. As a prevention strategy, "safer sex" helps by the use of condoms and by decreasing the number of sexual partners in order to reduce exposure to infectious semen and vaginal secre- tions. However, the HBV can be present in other body fluids such as saliva so that intimate contact may be risky. Vaccination of persons at highriskis the best way to significantly decrease the incidence of HBV in the college-age population. Student Health Services through SDSU is conducting an educational intervention that looks at ways in which students receive information about Hepatitis B and their need to receive the HBV vaccine (at a reduced cost). If you think you or a friend are atrisk,contact Health Services at Cal State San Marcos, SDSU North County campus, 471-3578, to have your questions answered about your risk and how to receive the HBV vaccine. In the next column J will discuss the health effects of caffeine consumption. Please submit health-related questions in the envelope outside of Student Health Services.

Times Advocate proposal requires student approval In early 1990, Cal State San Marcos invited entrepreneurs to participate in the creation of this nation's first public university in nearly a quarter century. The founders, and subsequent staff, of Pioneer newspaper proudly accepted this offer. It's our pleasure to have initiated the process of student publication. The press is organic to a democratic society, and our staff weighs its role accordingly. Likewise, it is gratifying to hear from numerous students and staff commending our work. In the interim, the Escondido based Times Advocate offered a package deal to the budding campus. Their proposition, if implemented, wouldrequire every Cal State San Marcos student to subscribe to the Times Advocate newspaper as a condition to attending school. In turn, the Times Advocate would enable the founding of a College of Journalism through a combination of capital and services support. The official school newspaper (not the Pioneer) would be a mere insert in the Escondido daily. This offer has met with widespread disappointment. Firstly, the Times Advocate is proposing an exclusive service contract—spending student paid fees—so don't mistake this for philanthropy. It is neither a corporate gift nor an endowment. Secondly, Cal State San Marcos would be obligating its students to buy a private tabloid through the imposition of student fees. This steals our freedom to make choices as consumers of news. Furthermore, it puts the University in the position of endorsing a private firm's services on an exclusive basis. initially, it seems exciting to be the recipient of an entire newsroom, even at the expenses stated. Unfortunately, the greatest cost is unstated: the inevitable mediocrity that would result from a journalism department shackled to a local daily. The best journalism students will not attend a program that directs its efforts to producing an insert anymore than the highly talented would write for the Pennysaver. Likewise, the best professors of the trade would be reluctant to teach for a department that depends on a private enterprise for its continued existence. Certainly it would be the first time that Cal Sate San Marcos steers itself to less than excellence in any endeavor. The most perplexing—and reprehensible— situation, however, is not the Time Advocate's behavior. Private firms should, rationally, do everything possible to increase their value, and it is not my purpose to condemn them f or trying. On the contrary, the greatestdisappointment is the University a dministration'sfailureto D AVID H AMMOND c i t f ' £ PIONEER COLUMNIST Times A dvo- cate's offer in light of their previous handling of a much less offensive offer of a Geology chair. In that instance, the donor requested that his theories be tested, presumably by the scholar he sought to subsidize. Ultimately, President S tacy scrubbed the idea in the interest of academic integrity. An inconsistency is apparent in the responses of an academic community that until now religiously promoted the tenants of political correctness. When an individual tries to "buy" a testing ground for his scientific theories, it is taboo to the purists. However, when a firm attempts to create and dictate the operations of a whole school of journalism, the overall reaction is indifference. Obviously we share our path with hypocrites. Perhaps most outrageous is the fact that the voice of student government—the Student Governance Task Force, and its subcommittees—is being ignored. In November of 1990, the Newspaper Subcommittee,charged by Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt to formulate recommendations for an official school paper, rejected the Times Advocate proposal. Surprisingly, this conclusion was not the basis for further action by the Administration. I urge the University Council to relinquish student newspaper decisions to the student government I further beg of the University administration to act consistently by sticking to precedent and rejecting any and all offers that are less than a gift. If Cal State San Marcosexpects to recruit entrepreneurs, it must be sure that the reward of recognition is the prize of the truly giving. Mothers, wives, girlfriends. Are you tired of financing wars started by posturing, impotent old men with the blood of your sons and lovers? Do your intestines knot when you watch the cowards who are our congressional representatives give away their constitutional right to declare war? Then, if you have the stomach for it, you may want to follow this advice for ending all war and creating a truly new world order. Tonight, while your male loved one sleeps, gently go to him. Whisper PIONEER COLUMNIST your love for him, and t hen... slit his throat from ear to ear. Sick? Outrageous? Disgusting? Definitely. But look at the failure of lesser measures. Almost 2500 years ago, Lysistrata, the heroine of Aristophanes' play of the same name, attempted to stop war by uniting all the women of Athens. These wives of Greek soldiers withheld sex from their husbands until the latter agreed to never fight again. Looking at the evening news, it obviously didn't work. Lysistrata, and all women throughout the millenia, have failed to recognize one important f act We men prefer making war to making love. Perhaps it's testosterone poisoning. This hormone gives men greater physical strength and also appears to trigger aggressive behavior. Perhaps i t's environmental. Men have been raised with the belief that anger is the only socially acceptable emotion. Probably it's a combination of both. But whatever the cause of the problem, the destruction of the world can only be reversed by women uniting and reclaiming their power. And I'm not referring to the women's movement. The Gloria Allreds and Steinems of the world, well-intentioned as they are, have contented themselves with seeking financial and political equality with males. This is as absurd as a cheetah seeking genetic equality with a snail because it envies the glittering slime traiHt makes on a sidewalk. Face it, ladies. We men are on the verge of destroying the only planet you've got. There are no suburbs to flee to this time. Only a revolution by all the women of the world has any chance to save the human species. Too long have you been the mourners and nurses for the dead and dying. Too long have you deferred your power to male-dominated misinterpretations of the Bible, Koran and Torah. They say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Modern Iraq, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers,is ancient Mesopotamia, "the cradle of civilization." We men are now rocking that cradle with bombs, oil spills and ego-terrorism of the worst kind. If you women don't shed your meekness along with your veils and feminine deodorant spray, and reclaim your God-given power as giversoflife, your only legacy will be the stench of a dead ocean and dying earth spreading from here to eternity.

MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. t> 4JJ v jtttfi U l l / l l The other day I met asoldier in line at the grocery store. Dressed in combat fatigues, he looked tired and uneasy. He told me he had just arrived back home, from the Persian Gulf. When I asked him what it was like to be in the Middle East during the conflict, he said nothing. The look of weariness on his face told all I needed to know. "Isn't it great to be back home," I asked. "Could be better," he said. He motioned to the television set in the store's lobby, playing the latest war coverage. Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic sat in a wheelchair leading thousands of demonstrators through San Francisco. This account of two people in a grocery store actually happened. The soldier, weary from travel, came home 16 find a feeling of dismay on the homefront. Therightto protest in the United States is a fundamental and necessary component to the system of democracy in which we live. But we, as Americans, must realize that protestation can be more damaging to our soldiers than enemy fire. Ron Kovic, of all people, should realize this fact. When he left Vietnam with crippling injuries, he came home to rains of spit rather than confetti. In one of the San Francisco demonstrations, which he led two weeks ago, 1,000 protestors were arrested. In fact, more people were arrested during that demonstration than any S TAFF E DITORIAL PIONEER NEWSPAPER during the Vietnam War. Where were the protestors when Hussein forcefully took over Kuwait? In this action can truly be found a reason for protest: It is one thing to hold prayer vigils and tie a yellow ribbon for the troops oversees, it is another thing to clog the streets of a major city with unruly and completely counterproductive demonstrations. Nobody but a madman would revel in the muck of war. Unfortunately the world contains one such lunatic by the name of Saddam Hussein. His unprovoked attacks against Israel—a nation which originally chose to stay removed from the conflict—are nothing less than sadistic. Protestors tread heavily on the memory of those Israelis lost in senseless SCUD attacks. His dumping of millions of gallons of oil into the Persian Gulf is nothing less than environmental terrorism. Protestors do nothing but muddy the environment of global awareness by giving credence to a man who has little concern for the world around him. His occupation of Kuwait is nothing less than dictatorial. Protestors disregard therightof an oppressed nation to share the same freedoms of speech and protest that they are exercising. War did not push Hussein into performing these actions. He instigated them because he is sociopathic. Our soldiers are there to lessen a madman's control over an important corner of the world. Nobody dislikes war more than those who are employed by the government to fight i t When they come home from work they deserve to be treated to warmth and kindness and not to the unmeaningly cold messages of protestors. Those who fight Hussein in the Gulf may not be fighting a just war (since there is no such thing as a just war), but they are fighting a necessary war. Now more than ever they need our unflappable support. Hussein wishes for a disjointed America and tides of protestation bring waves of division. It must be remembered that the conflict in the Gulf is not a mirror image of Vietnam. This conflict is more akin to a war fifty years ago where another madman sought control of the world. Our soldiers then were treated with the respect they deserved and earned. Our soldiers now should receive the same treatment. If you want to rally against the soldiers overseas, then put your protest signs and your love beads in the back of your psychedelic VW van and groove on back to the 60s where your exploits will be appreciated. L etters t o t h e E ditor Students stress to President importance of their opinions Dear President Stacy: One of the things remembered from our orientation last summer is your explanation of how this university was going to be different. With you as its leader, CSUSM was going to develop into an institution where the students' interests came first; for, as you stated, without the students there would be no need for faculty and administration. The first day of classes began with instructors who were extremely enthusiastic about the different outlook that this administration had compared with what they had encountered at other colleges. Each professor emphasized the open policy where the student was of primary importance. As the semesterprogressed it was easy to see that indeed this was a different school. Classes became like families, with classmates quickly becoming as close as cousins. Each of the courses offered lively discussions where concepts were not only taught by the professors but discovered by the students as well. Sitting in the Student Lounge and listening to students from all fields of study, one never heard words of complaint about the quality of instruction. There were many complaints about too much homework, as would be expected, but there was no talk about not taking an instructor because he/she couldn't teach. CSUSM was developing into just the university you had predicted. It was a university where education and the student really mattered. As the semester drew to a close, we noted that some of our professors were not promoting their next semester's classes. When we asked what they would be teaching, we found that, since they were only part time, they didn't know if they would be back or not. Worried that the "powers that be" in the administration may not know how we students felt about our "temporary" professors, we made an appointment with the appropriate administrator to express our concern. We told that administrator that those part-time instructors were among the best that higher education had to offer. The administrator suggested that we send in L ETTERS W ELCOME PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs.

We were assured that these letters would be copied and seht to the offices of the people who made the choices of whether or not to retain the instructors. So we sent the letters. The next week evaluation sheets were sent to classes. There is little question that our instructors received glowing assessments. Can you imagine how shocked and let down we were to find that few of those tremendous instructors were returning? We recognize that it is the university's option to retain or dismiss part-time faculty, but we also feel that the opinions of the student population should be at least considered and not simply brushed aside. We feel impotent in our ability to help this college plant a solid foundation on which the education of generations to come will be built. We have great confidence that the new instructors chosen are of the utmost competence; however, we are reluctant to adopt them as our mentors if they are only to pass with the changing semesters. Dr. Stacy, we realize that you are not directly responsible for what has occurred, yet we send a plea to you, as this university's highest authority , to once again stress to your administrators the importance of student opinion and the tragedy which occurs when it is ignored. We only ask that the students' point of view be considered as much as it is at other institutions of higher education.

PST on January 16, America sat mesmerized as bombs began to drop on the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. The global community suddenly became smaller as Cable News Network brought the first live reports of the war in the Persian Gulf from Bernard Shaw, John Holliman and Peter Arnett. The world's first prime time war had begun. Pizza franchises yielded record delivery sales, and retail stores became like mortuaries as Americans gave the war the attention of a Super Bowl game. CNN rocketed to an 11 percent rating share (10.9 percentage points above regular ratings) and became the primary source of Gulf news'in an instant. Since the first bombs hit Iraq, the world waits with anxiety for the next moves in a multi-billion dollar game of chess. We've watched as SCUD missiles hit Tel Aviv, and Patriot missiles hit the SCUDS. We've seen pictures of battered and bruised hostages. We've witnessed an oil spill twelve times larger than that created in the Exxon Valdez accident and cheered as the source of the leakage was stopped. We've been stunned when Iraq took over the Saudi village of Khafji and our hearts grieved when 11 Camp Pendleton Marines lost their lives to friendly fire there. But most of all we've been confused. With the volumes of information about the war that comes daily, the public looks for some kind of order among the mayhem. What will happen next is anybody's guess, and nobody's knowledge.

C HEMICAL W EAPONS Chemical weapons are considered the poor man's atom bomb. These deadly weapon systems can be constructed by many of the world's nations today. Theycan beplacedon 1960s-vintage missile, widely available on the arms market, in a chemical warhead made from readily available chemicals. There are severalchemicals used in warheads. Some of those chemicals and their reactions are listed below: • Cyanide and other blood agents: When inhaled, it blocks the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity. It can cause eye irritation, choking and sometimes death. • Chlorine and phosgene: These chemicals burn the lining of the lungs. When plasma leaks into the lungs from the bloodstream, victim's drown in their own fluids. • M ustard Gas and other Blistering Agents: Can cause vomiting, nausea, skin irritation and blistering, eye-irritation and short-term blindness. It can be lethal in large amounts. • Nerve Gas: Nerve gas can be inhaled or absorbed through the skin. It attacks the nervous system and is highly toxic; this gas can kill in 15 minutes. Total isolation from the chemical agent is the only protection. U.S. soldiers use a two piece suit with special boot covers and gloves. A chemical mask and hood are used to protect the head. Different kinds of masks are used in different nations, the U.S. military offers three different types: • M17 A1 is used by the infantry, it has small eyelets. The filter, inside the cheek pouch of the mask, is good for about 24 hours before filling with dust. • M43 is used in helicopters. It allows Apache pilots, in particular, to wear their special sighting system gear and the mask at the same time. The M43 also is attached to the ventilator which blows in fresh air. • M25 A1 is used by tanks and armored vehicles. It is similar to the M17 and is also connected to a breathing unit. It has a wider face cover than the M17 so that the vehicle operators have far better visibility. Ideally, masks are fitted to the individual wearer to avoid readjustment in the 13 seconds required for putting them on. Masks are put on like catchers' masks, then attached by four straps. A wearer needs to blow into the canister to clear it, then breathe normally. WE HAVE THE BEST FAKES EVERYWHERE! �ÄGDEN1university in sine J azz t rio k eeps PIONEER/TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1991 K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER "Look at those guys! Haven't I seen them around campus somewhere?" No, your eyes are not misleading you, The Jazz group playing at noon in the Student Lounge today, is in fact made up of University students and employees. Bob Boss, John "Ironman" Harris and Gunnar B iggs make up the North County university community's own jazz trio. The members of the group have known each other for years throughout the jazz circuit, but had never played together as a group until they ran into each other on campus. The Uni versity Jazz Trio, so named in aSan Diego State University, North County newsletter, first came about when Biggs walked into the Aztec Shops last September and saw Boss and Harris working. "We have a trio right here," he exclaimed. Biggs approached the "powers that be" and and found them to be enthusiastic about the idea. Pat Hinkle came up with the sponsorship for the group and the University Jazz Trio was born. In fall they played the Student Lounge at the beginning of the semester and in the parking lot at end of the first semester's festivities. "Music is a combination of melody, harmony , and rhythm," disclosed Boss. "Jazz, first takes the melody which is whistleable, then adds harmony which colors it and gives it shape and last the rhythm which holds it all together." He went on to explain that jazz is made up of theme and development — tension and relief The University Jazz Trio, comprised of Gunnar Biggs (bass), John "Ironman" Harris (drums), and Bob Boss (guitar), play at fall's end of the semester celebration.

This month they will be giving a two day seminar at the Idlewilde School of Professional Arts. The Ironman, so called because he never misses a gig and knows every melody that was ever written, is planing to write a book about his experiences being a international jazz musician. Boss started to play guitar at age 12. Living in Berkeley gave him many opportunities to see his idols like the great Jimmy Hendricks and the Grateful Dead. When Hendricks was interviewed, the young Boss would listen; and when Hendricks said his idol was Jim Hall or John Caltran, Boss would search these out guitarists and emulate their styles. It wasn't long before he became interested in jazz guitar. He played in clubs and concerts while getting a Masters degree in Humanities at Chico State. Moving back to the Berkeley area after college, he made music his full time career. He preformed with Vince Wallace, Baomi and Smiley Winters, to name a few. His guitar is heard on an album with Ernie Mansfield. As a member of the Sherman Rubin Band, he backed several great jazz artists including Richie Cole, Red Rodney and Eddie Harris.

This one makes you think as well as entertains. 3 . 'Awakenings' The most unlikely combination of hyper-intense comic Robin Williams and very serious dramatic actor Robert DeNiro creates an emotional look at life—something we all take for granted. Williams should walk away with an Oscar this time for a convincing portrayal of a doctor so absorbed in his work that he almost missed out on what life's all about. 4.'Mountains of the Moon' This sweeping saga tells the true story of two explorers looking for the source of the Nile in deepest Africa. The film is notable for the brilliant performances of Patrick Bergin (soon to be seen with JuliaRoberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy') andFiona Shaw. 5. 'Hamlet' Yes, i t's true. Mel Gibson can do Shakespeare. He's a riveting force as the self-destructive Hamlet. Glen Close, brilliant as usual, plays the role of his mother, Gertrude. 6 . 'Goodfellas' Mel Gibson as Hamlet. Ray Liotta puts in a strong performance in a movie that cuts so close to the heart of the Italian mafia that they took offense. JocPesci and Robert DeNiro also run away with their respective roles. 7. 'Ghost' This ultimate love story stars Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore with Whoopi Goldberg thrown in for comic relief. This film touched the heart of America in such a big way, it deserves mention. 8. 'Reversal of Fortune' Jeremy Irons is positively devious as the enigmatic Klaus von Bulow, who was acquitted of causing his wife's coma through an injection of insulin. Kudos to Run Silver as his defense attorney Who is not sure what to make of his weird client. 9. 'Presumed Innocent' Scott Turrow's novel is intelligently adapted to the screen for a look at a man's portrayal and the inner workings of politics in a district attorney's office. Harrison Ford is solid, but Bonnie Bedelia runs away with the movie as Ford's bitter wife. 10. 'Postcardsfrom the Edge' Carrie Fisher proves that she's not justanother Princess Leia. Her simple, but eloquent screenplay reveals Hollywood life through actress Suzanne Vale (Meryl Streep) and her famous singing mother (Shirley MacLaine).

Wilson's budget proposal, released last month, would allocate $2.14 billion for the CSU system. Even though thefigure represents an increase of $882,000over this year's appropriations,itdoes not absorb an expected growth of 7,500 students and mandated spending hikes totaling over $100 million. According to the Chancellor's Office, CSU needs$2.23 billion to maintain the level of instruction and services currently offered. The budget would create a shortfall in operating revenues of about $90 million. "This is a disastrous budget," said Acting ChancellorEllis McCune. "We understand that the state is in a majorfinancialcrisis, but this budget is going to make it very difficult for us to carryout our mission. " Even though CSU officials speculate that the frugal budget will Tuition hike won't affect financial aid adversely affect the quality of education throughout the system, CSUSM President Bill Stacy said repercussions from the governor's budget will not be as severe here as at other institutions/ "Our strongest hunch is that there will not be (a curtailment of hiring new faculty); we've got to move forward," Stacy said. He did indicate, however, that student services will not develop as quickly, should the Governor's budget be implemented. Extra-curricular activities, such as sports, might be held back in their vitalization due to lack of funds. Stacy indicated that students have been "remarkably tolerant" of attending classes in a shopping center atmosphere and having limited student activities. Where other campuses will receive cuts in their 1991-92 budgets, CSUSM's piece of the budgetary pie will continue to grow. "They've taken good care of us again for this next year," said Stacy, "Generally speaking, they took the current 1990-91 budget from the other 19 campuses and cut it a b it Our campus will have a bigger budget for 91-92 and they'll cut from our bigger budget. We'll grow SEE BUDGET/PAGE 4 Proposed Fee Increase LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER While college officials worry over how to supplement funding for Cal State San Marcos should GovernorPeteWilson's proposed budget be implemented, the Office of Financial Aid encourages students, now more than ever, to take advantage of available grant and loan programs. Ac cording to Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid at CSUSM, needy students can still get full funding for their education at the university, despite a proposed 20 percent increase in tuition. "One of the worst things we can do is to scare needy students away," Phillips said. "It appears to us that there is a strong commitment in the State of California to enable needy students to go to our higher education institutions." Students now receiving financial aid and new recipients are protected from the possible tuition hike, said Phillips, because both kinds of aid available are designed to cover all or part of the fees. He said Wilson's budget does not ignore thefinancialstrain a fee increase could place upon needy students. "At this point in the Governor's budget, he put funds in to increase both of those awards (Cal Grant and State University •YEARLY TUITION COSTS J O N A T H A N YOUNG/PIONEER Grants) by the amount of the fee increase," said Phillips. The Governor's budget also has stipulations to accommodate increased recipients. Fees for students taking six units or less willriseby $90 per year, while those taking more than six units will have to pay $ 154 a more annually in tuition, said Phillips. Due to the high-level publicity the hikehas received,Phillips anticipates more students to file for aid. Since eligibility for aid is contingent not only upon in- come, but the cost of education as well, Phillips guesses that the percentage of students able to receive financial aid will rise by "maybe 5 percent" Rising costs would also mean that students now eligible for loans may be qualified to receive more money than at present A student now eligible for $1,500 in loans may be qualified for $2,000 should the increase be implemented. The maximum amount a student may qualify for is $4,000.

TWO NEW SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED The Office of Financial Aid announces the following scholarships available spring semester: The Alumni Devoted to the Advancement of North County Education (ADVANCE) are offering two scholarships, the APEX and the SUNNY. The APEX, Award for the Protection of Excellence, is given to a deserving Business major who is currently a senior. The SUNNY, Scholarship for the Undergraduate North County Nominee of thé Year, is offered to students with a class ranking of Junior or higher who are Business majors and will be graduating in 1991. The awards will be $250and will be based on financial need, personal circumstances, GPA, and contribution to the North County university which they are attending* The deadline is March 8. The North County Chapter of the American Society of Women Accountants Scholarship is for students who are pursuing accounting as a career. The awards will range from $300and $500, and will be based on financial need, personal circumstances, communication skills, career goals and GPA. The application deadline is March 15.

The amount for the scholarship is expected tp be approximately $500. The application deadline is April 20. Applications for any of these scholarships may be obtained from the CSUSM Office of Financial Aid. WRITING CENTER OPENS Students wishing help in writing term papers, essays or other reports can find it at CSUSM's new writing center. The writing center is designed to help students define ideas for papers. Students should bring notes, rough drafts and assignments useful in writing their papers to the workshop. Dr. Ken Mendoza, who heads the center, stresses that the purpose of the center is not to create papers for students, rather, it is designed to help students form their ideas and put them down on paper. The center is located in Building 135 next to the Center for Books in Spanish for Children and Adolescents. It is open on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. LIBRARY SHUTTLE AVAILABLE Students needing access to the San Diego State University Love Library canfindfast and easy transportation with a new courier service offered by the CSUSM and SDSU North County Library. The shuttle service runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 10 a.m., 12:15 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. It also departs Fridays at 8 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. Return trips from the Love Library depart at 11 ajiïu 2:45 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and at 10:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Fridays. Since seating is limited, students must sign up for both their departing and return trips at the CSUSM-SDSU North County Library's reception desk no more than one week in advance. The shuttle picks students up at the front door of the campus library. Two new majors added; academic plan revised L ARRY B OISJOUE and M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER Despite the addition of two new degree programs at Cal State San Marcos for fall 1991, officials in the CSU Chancellor's Office have requested revisions to the college's fiveyear Academic Master Plan. In January, CSUSM Executive VicePresidentRichardRush, sent the proposed Academic Master Plan for the university's first five years to the Chancellor's Office. In the plan, Rush asked for the addition of three degree programs for the fall of 1991. Of the three, Economics and Political Science were approved, while Computer Science was rejected. "We have serious questions about whether a BS in Computer Science implemented in 1991 could meet either Trustee quality criteria or national professional accreditation guidelines," wrote Sally Casanova, Dean of Academic Affairs and Plans of the Chancellor's Office. In the letter, Casanova questioned the ability of CSUSM to provide facilities to support such a program at this early stage in the campus' development "The campus is apparently planning to begin offering the major nearly two years before the earliest date that the facilities to support the program can be in place," Casanova wrote. Before a program in Computer Science can be implemented by CSUSM, it must be approved by both the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) and the Chancellor's Office. Casanova said it is unlikely that CSUSM would be able to draft a proposal acceptable to both bodies by fall 1991. According to the letter, CPEC doesn't see the need at this time for any additional programs in Computer Science statewide. "We're disappointed that we're not able to offer that major," said Victor Rocha, to the University Council last Thursday. "Maybe it's a blessing in disguise." The Computer Science program remains in the college's 10-year Academic Master Plan with no specific date of its implementation. Casanova proposed that the uni- versity'sfive-yearAcademic Master Planbeextendedto 10 years given the large number of proposals submitted and the long lead time required in budgeting for them. "The number of degree majors which the University proposes to implement by 1995 is rather substantial for a campus of 2,400 Full Time Equivalent students, but quite reasonable for the enrollment level which will probably be attained by 2000," Casanova cited. The 10-year plan can be modified annually to meet the demands of the changing student population. "Things that are going to influence the theme of the campus have to do with student pressure and student push," Rocha said to the University Council. He also pointed out to the Council that the community-at-large will also be integral in the formation of programs at CSUSM. The forthcoming Scripps medical complex, to be built adjacent to the CSUSM permanent campus, might influence some future SEE MAJORS/PAGE 4 Indian quill boxes display tradition K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Before her death a year ago, Mathilda Allison preserved her Indian tradition by creating boxes decorated with porcupine quills. The birch bark boxes and sweet grass baskets have been shown all over the United States and now are on display in the CSUSM, SDSU North County Library. Allison was born in Good Heart Michigan, an Ottawa Indian village, to a German father and Indian mother. She spent her earliest years with the elders of the tribe learning the Ottawa language and traditional Indian values. "The elders of the tribe considered her a full-blooded Indian," explained Harold Allison, Mathilda's husband of many years. "She didn't belong to the younger group." Allison's husband is allowing his collection of her artwork to be enjoyed by many people. Lind& Locklear, the Indian Studies chair at Palomar College, set up the display in the library. Isabella Ramage, Allison' s mother, was also a quillwork artist. She taught her daughter the intricacies of quill- work. As a child, Allison helped earn money by selling her quillwork. Moving to California she put her traditional Indian artwork on hold while she studied for a Liberal Arts degree. When she married Harold Allison, the newly weds moved onto 40 acres of virgin California brush land, near Murietta Hot Springs. Their house was built from rock by Mathilda's own two hands; she built all of the cabinets, windows, doors and everything necessary to make a home. Harold still lives in this house and expects to be there until he dies. Working with her hands and building her own home brought back remembrances of her Indian tradition. In 1976 she started her quillwork again. Once a year, Allison would return to her ancestral home in Michigan and collect birch bark and sweet grass. It is easiest to peel the bark off of the trees in June through August. The bark is allowed to dry for two weeks and then is scrubbed with beach sand. The unscrubbed bark turns a burnished red. The boxes on display in the library use the red bark on the inside and the white bark on the out- side. The sweet grass, so known because it maintains its soft sweet smell after drying, is used to bind the edges of the birch bark boxes. Allison was adept at making small, well designed sweet grass baskets, some of which she decorated with her quillwork. 4 The Indians from Mathilda's home village would collect winter porcupine quills for her. The verigated natural color of the quill from white to dark brown is used in most of her designs. Some of the quills she dyed to form multicolored artwork. A porcupine has over30,000quills up tofiveinches long and as thick as an eighth of an inch. The women pulled out the quills from the dead porcupine, sorting them by size, and washing and drying them. After the bark is scrubbed and bleached therightcolor, Allison would use a leather awl, called a "magoosa" in the Ottawa language, to punch small holes. The quills were threaded through the holes. "Quillwork was her pride and joy." explained her husband. "She didn't SEE QUILL/PAGE 4 �MAJORS Atkinson scholarship awarded This year's Ina Mae Atkinson Scholarship was awarded to Barbara Jass, an art education major attending SDSU, North County. The Ina Mae Atkinson Scholarship is awarded each year to a North County re-entry woman. This scholarship was established in 1988 and was the first one established for SDSU North County; this year's eligibility to apply included re-entry women from CSUSM as well. The scholarship donor, Marie Bradley, established this scholarship to assist women who are not the traditional college age, most of which are women re-entering the academic setting after having raised families or having experienced a break in their college education. Many of these students are part time students and financial aid and other assistance programs are not always available to them.

Other degree programs in the Academic Master Plan questioned by the Chancellor's Office are Statistics, American Studies, Humanities, Women'sStudiesandReligiousStudies. Casanova suggested that statewide demand for these programs does not necessitate the formation of separate academic departments. "Because American Studies, Humanities and Women's Studies can be offered without creating new departments and investing substantial resources, we are prepared to leave them on the plan for now, but suggest that their priority be reviewed in the coming year," Casanova cited. "The projections in Statistics and QUILL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 do it to make money, but to keep up the (Indian) tradition." Indian women have been decorating with porcupine quills since before the white man settled the Americas. Before the European traders introduced glass beads, porcupine quill artwork was used to beautify their life. In the old days some of the quills would be colored using vegetable dyes like blackberry juice or bloodroot. Before the quills could be worked into the design they were moistened by soaking in water, or more often, AID CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 " A lot of our students, unfortunately are at the $4,000 level now. If fees go up, they can't go any higher than $4,000," cited Phillips. If an increased number of students receive loans, Phillips doesn't anticipate a high rate of default as a consequence. Due to its newness, CSUSM currently has a default rate of 0 percent. The national rate of students defaulting on loans is 11 percent, while the nearby Palomar Community College hovers somewhere around 20 percent. "Studies show an inverse relationship between how much loan a student takes out and the likelihood to default," said Phillips. Part of the reason for this is because graduate students, who generally take out larger loans, are more apt to find employment after receiving Religious Studies, which had not previously been discussed, are more difficult to justify in terms of student need and demand." Those State Universities that offer degrees in these programs have historically shown low enrollments. For instance, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has had an average of 36 Statistics majors over the past five years. San Luis Obispo's program contains the highest number of S tatistics majors in the CSU system. Casanova suggested that those majors be offered as options within other departments' degree programs. Religious Studies, for example, might be offered as an option within the Philosophy Department If sufficient demand is demonstrated, thqse disciplines could be expanded to separate degree programs. Currently there are nine degree programs offered at CSUSM. the women moistened the sharp quills in their mouth as they worked. Allison used traditional Indian artwork, like geometric designs and elements in nature, to decorate her boxes. She also quilled a birch bark box with a picture of Leonardo De Vinci's Last Supper. At a show in Casa Grande, she was offered $3,800 for this one piece. Allison taught Locklear and her daughters how to embroider with porcupine quills. "My fingers would get all bloody when I first started," stated Locklear. "It takes a lot of patience, you can't be hasty." Locklear went on to say that her daughters were a lot faster to pick up the skill than she was. degrees. Phillips said the maturity of the student population at CSUSM and counseling for loan recipients should keep default rates low in the future. Since the announcement of the proposed hike last month, Phillips said that no students have yet come asking about the increase. "As soon as I heard about it, I came in and immediately called Sacramento and the Chancellor's office to get updated on it myself because I expected the phone to startringing,"he cited. Phillipssaidtheproposedincrease is the largest in terms of dollars he has ever seen. "In my memory theie'sneverbeen one this big," he said. "It's got to be the biggest dollar increase ever." Phillips stresses the March 2 deadline for students wishing to file for financial aid. He said aid will still be granted after that date, but the chances of receiving significant amounts passes after the deadline. �CAFFEINE EFFECTS Studys' results undetermined Caffeine is the most widely used drug in our society. While most of us consume caffenated beverages, we rarely stop to consider that we are actually taking a drug that has powerful physiological effects on multiple body systems. There must be some reason why 53 percent of all American adults drink at least one cup of coffee in the morning. The reason is caffeine, in small to modest doses, causes a decrease in drowsiness, a more rapid reaction time, an increase in mental acuity and overall feelings and actions consistent with stimulation. Voluntary muscles under the influence of caffeine are less susceptible to fatigue and there is an enhanced capacity for work. Effects in the cardiovascular system include an increase in heart rate, a decrease in blood flow to the brain and a slight increase in blood pressure. As we all know, caffeine increases the production of urine by the kidneys, and is likely to increase the volume as well as the level of acidity in the stomach. The problem is that even in modest amounts, caffeine can worsen preexisting medical and physiological problems. For example, there is evidence that people with pre-existing anxiety problems, such as panic disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, have a marked increase in symptoms with even small amounts of caffeine. In addition, caffeine can increase symptoms in people with stomach ulcers and/or the so-called irritable bowel syndrome. Similarly, caffeine consumption may be a major contributor to some forms of insomnia. Excessive, repeated heavy intake of caffeine can cause persistent feelings of anxiety and tension, irritability and a feeling of inability to handle stressful situations. It frequently causes sleep disturbances and often causes chronic fatigue.

Two main problems seen in the media is the possible propaganda coming out of Baghdad and American's strong desire to not be censored. These two complaints are not the focus of this editorial - propaganda is expected OUR VIEWS PIONEER STAFF Affirmative action may be meritless General Colin Powell is America's most powerful black due to his commission as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a position of enormous prestige. Interestingly, he rose to this pinnacle in a process that refutes the race relations policies of both the Democratic and Republican parties. In this respect, General Powell's rise forces use to re-examine our nation's strategy for achieving racial equality. General Powell has stated publicly that he joined the service nearly 40 years ago "to get a job." He readily adds that for blacks at the time, private sector opportunities were slim due to discrimination. The military, on the other hand, was desegregating faster than civilian society. Throughout the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, Powell held the readiness of courage and intelligence that makes great leaders. The command's structure of the American military, our nation's first truly color-blind institution, rewarded his value with recognition and promotion. Now he is the chief architect and general manager of America's most ambitious project since landing men on the moon: the expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait. Already his command is credited for the Allied's early advantage, while his career is destined for more greatness. An important purpose of promoting racial equality throughout society is to maximize the production of Colin Powell types, regardless of color. In other words, equal opportunity is good business for the country, and our costs in lost geniuses alone - much less other costs - must be stemmed. But the Colin Powell story illustrated two seemingly contradictory points. Firstly, discrimination must be abolished. Secondly, affirmative action may be meritless. Today a disproportionately high percentage of blacks joining the volunteer services proves that little has changed in civilian society since General Powell made a likewise decision four decades ago. There is no better explanation than to admit that economic opportunity is less available to black America than white America on a whole. In this respect, the Republican party's continued denial of racial inequality serves to merely prolong the tragedy. As stated, military hierarchy was the first beneficiary of desegregation, but the ensuing Political Correctness movement, and its promotion of affirmative action, was unpersuasive to the Pentagon. Advancement in the military results from performance primarily, notauotas. Liberal policies have not been successful at narrowing the economic chasm between whites and Blacks. The first decade of affirmative action has seenaworseningof all key indicators: the black homicide, dropout, imprisonment, and unemployments rates arerising,while black America's income is dropping in comparative terms. Surely the DemPIONEER COLUMNIST ocrats-and black leaders - cannot blame middle white America for its disenchantment with the tyranny of Political Correctness. The designed effect of Political Correctness is torighta wrong. Minorities have suffered under-representation and oppression, and so a program to counter privileges is established for the underprivileged: hiring quotas, grant and scholarships programs, etc. Unfortunately, this makes minorities dependent on mandated societal reforms to achieve self-improvement. Furthermore, any system based on racial consciousness can hardly be trusted to achieve anything but more resentment and division. It is useful to revisit the military's strident color blindness while formulating a new solution to racial inequality. Middle-whiteAmerica backlash against affirmative action is rising precisely because it is sown not to perpetuate a policy of indifference to color amidst equal opportunity. While Affirmative action has proven to be counter productive, opposition to discrimination should remain vigilant/Legitimate suits must be handled expediently andrigorously,and that warrants establishing a fast-track legal procedure to hear and try allegations of unfairness. Bigots must be prosecuted in earnest. We cannot return to an era of inaction; their problem will not eradicate by market forces solely. Public policy deserves periodic review. While most Americans desire racial harmony, everyone must be willing to honestly examine the effectiveness of the solutions. When a system is not working, it should be fixed, not maintained in the interest of Political Correctness. This worsens the plight of the people we seek to help. The plethora or young blacks joining the military proves that economic opportunities are still unequally distributed, and all indicators of societal advancement verify that the situation is growing worse, despite decades of affirmative action. Ironically, America's most powerful black, General Colin Powell, is a product of a colorblind Military establishment Clearly, the correct cure needs to be less political , _ s. 4 ^ t DAVID HAMMOND EDITORIAL and censorship is justified in a war setting - the goal here is to show theflagwaving patriots of this country that we must give up some of our first amendmentrightsto win this war. War and propaganda go hand in hand, whether it be a large fight between several countries or a battle between two people. Sadam Hussein might be the greatest creator of a large deal of propaganda in all of history. It's a reporters main goal to determine therightfrom the wrong, truthfrompropaganda. Peter Arnett, CNN's Baghdad-based reporter, has been accused of not following these journalism standards. It's Hussein, however, that prevents Arnettfromseeing both sides of the story, which hinders him as a journalist. The censors in Baghdad, too, hinder Arnett as well as other censors in other Middle East countries as well as the United States government. People here are amazingly mad about this is infringing on their freedom to speech and press. What hypocrite. Where were they when the Supreme Court revoked that samerightaway from high school journalists in 1988 or when the CSU Chancellor's office started their attempt to prohibit university newspapers from running certain advertisements? These examples are home town cases where American support should be; this is where the United States Bill of Rights has supreme reign. These cases, however, are nowhere near the problems at hand that has Americans all aflutter. It's doubtful that Hussein will follow the provisions outlined in our constitution, especially since he's not adhering to the Geneva Convention guidelines that his country agreed to. It's time to suck in our pride and let the government carry out its secret and confidential missions and not let ourrightto know help Husseinfightthis war. If there's one thing that could be carried overfromthe Vietnam war, a conflict that Am erica is not trying to copy, it is the news coverage. During that war, there were seven reporters. There are over 700 journalists covering this battle; even the small local newspapers like the Escondido Times Advocate and the Oceanside Blade Citizen send reporters to the Persian Guif. Reporters have always played an integral part in American society, referred to by some as the fourth branch of government with its checks and balance capability, but now it must stay out of the way of the U.S. government and let them do their job. That mission, among international affairs in this Persian Gulf War, is to bring the men and women fight this war home safe. Thefreedomswe so proudly defend aren't followed p other pountries. Don't expect that to change now. �Protesting: an American freedom E DITORS N OTE: It is Pioneer's policy not to print letters over 250 words.

SAMUEL JOHNSON Inresponse to the staff editorial in the Feb. 5 issue of Pioneer (War protests only harm soldiers), I would like to offer a slightly different set of points about the conflict in the Persian Gulf. They say the first casualty of war is truth, but the untruths and misconceptions about what is going on in the Middle East started long before the war. In fact they started shortly after World War II, when the British, who up until that time' had been the occupiers of Palestine decided to "give" the Israelis a homeland. I don't think any American in good conscience deny that the Holocaust was one of history's darkest pages, and that it seemed only just that these people who had suffered as much at the hands of Hitler and his henchmen should have a land of their own where they could feel safe and do what they needed to do to try and prevent a repeat of that horror. The problem was and is that the British just abandoned the Palestinians, who had no real defense of their own, and they have been living as second-class Citizens in what they consider their own land for over 40 years now. Yes, but the real issue is Saddam Hussein, Right? After all, this "lunatic" had the unmitigated gall to take over Kuwait (which incidentally had been separated from Iraq in the first place by a British oil interest in order to ensure that the incredibly rich oil fields located in that region would remain available to the west) and probably has "Hitleresque" plans to take over the entire region. Well, Iran immediately protested to taking over of Kuwait, as did Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and most of the emerate, not to mention most nations outside the region. Before the Arab nations and Iran had an opportunity to react, however, in comes the mighty United States,fightingfor truth, justice and the American Way, there with the intention to bring stability to the region. The stability is like throwing a match on a pile of kindling to ensure stability. It is our unbelievable ethnocentricity that once again has got us into a mess. How could we possibly leave so important a task as dealing with Saddam Hussein's imperialism to the people who know him best? How could we ever believe that the knowledge of the indigenous populations and leaders could know better than us how to best handle this situation? Well thatrightthere shows how ignorant they are! What's not to YOUR VIEWS LETTERS TO PIONEER like? Just because we have allowed Israel to get away with treating Palestinians the same way the apartheid government in South Africa treats Blacks? Well, all of the Palestinians are crazy terrorists, right? When Israel bombs "terrorist encampments" in Lebanon (we never question Israel's definition of what is and isn't a terrorist encampment; however, it has been verified that often they are just random groups of Palestinian civilians) and detains Palestinians in prison for years without charging them with anything, that's Okay because they're not like us; they don't have children they love and have dreams for, old people they revere and look after, idealistic? young men and women trying to figure a way to make the world a better place. Oh yes. Yes they do. There is no doubt in my mind that the United States' intervention in the Middle East will cause problems of such proportion that we will not see the end of them in our lifetimes. More and more Arabs are turning away from the coalition and toward support for Hussein, not because he is such a great guy, but because he represents to them the only person of any power who at least has some understanding of their needs and wishes. It never seems to get through to the American people that even when citizens of other countries have the opportunity to be more like us, they may not jump at the chance. What most modern Arabs are looking for is a way to deal with the modern world, to use technology and modernization to improve their way of life without losing their sense of cultural identity. When the people of many of these countries look at America, they don't see what we see. We see waves of amber grain, they see waves of homeless and poverty stricken people with little or no health care (Iraqis enjoy 100 percent free medical services). We see bright, idealistic young people waiting to make their way in the world, they see the highest per capita rates of teen suicide, and a drug and alcohol problem ravaging the nation, from professional people to innocent babies born drug addicted. We see ourselves is some sort of ongoing soft drink commercial, singing and playing games together and laughing, while they see the highest homicide rate in the world, along with another almost exclusively American phenomenon, serial killers. Who has the most distorted view of us? As I sit here and write this, I can feel the blood of some people boiling. I can hear their SHARE YOUR VIEWS PIONEER welcomes letters from readers regarding campus issues, articles written, or world-related affairs.

That's the problem, or one of them, right there. In the 60s, it was considered unpatriotic to protest the war; therightsthat we're supposedly fighting for in Kuwait (which was never anything even close to a democracy, by the way and very anti-western - are not fashionable to exercise here. The staff editorial says in effect that while our men and women arefightingfor therightof the Kuwaitis, we ought to shut up and not say anything so as not to offend the troops. Why is it perfectly Okay for our sons and lovers, to go to the other side of the world to fight for the freedoms of the people we neither understand nor ever paid any mind to, but exercising those same freedoms at home is unacceptable? This nonsense that the pro-war factions keep throwing out about "whether you agree with the war or not, support the troops" makes no sense whatever. What could be moré supportive than to work for their safe return, and a sane, negotiated peace? Wrapping ourselves in the flag and burying our heads in the sand is the most dangerous position we can take. That "America, love it or leave it" attitude is one of the reasons it took so long to discover we had no winning position in Vietnam. It's also one of thereasons the Savings and Loan fiasco hasfinanciallydevastated us, perhaps irreparably. And while we are being so high and mighty about Saddam ' s invasion of Kuwait, why have we turned back on the Dahli Lama, whose legitimate government was thrown out of Tibet by the Chinese many years ago while we conveniently turned our collective heads? While we bomb the hell out of Baghdad, the ^vhole world is beginning to wonder just what right we have to our self-appointed moral-police-of-the-world role. Are we such a fine and shining example of democracy, freedom, and capitalism at its best? Should we expect the people of the Middle East, so conformed by their traditions and faiths, to give them up to worship the great god BMW as we so often do here in the West? Maybe we should allow the Middle East, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia, and everywhere else to take care of their own problems for awhile, while we pay attention to what isn't so great about America right now. And when we have made it Okay, when our young people are staying in school and off drugs, when our education system is back where it could be, when we have cared for our homeless and healed our sick, then perhaps we can start to share our successes with our global coinhabitants in peaceful ways rather than trying to impose our ideas by force. When we realize our potential and shine as an example of peace, care of the planet, tolerance of those different than us, and fiscal responsibility , then we can wrap ourselves in the flag and feel really good about it. B EVERLY KANAWI/CSUSM STUDENT �French cast breaks rules to add theatrics to old art • • • h e Ringmistress, France La Bonté, wears a goldW flowered, blue suit and has an orange hair style that would make Medusa die of laughter. Although she does not perform, her appearance and presence sets the standards for the ensemble she commands. The language is French, the music is rock, the costumes are outrageous, and there are no animals. This show, however, can be easily recognized as a circus. Cirque Du Soleil, meaning Circus of the Sun, stops in Southern California during its 1991 tour and proves it has therightingredients to make an outstanding show. The theatrical/acrobatic travelers are a collection of acts that astonish and baffle the mind. Four young contortionists start the circus with poses that would make anyone cringe with amaze- ment and pain. Their bodies can move as though they had no joints at all. The acrobats join in activities from trapezes, to tight ropes to flyers in a series of acts that threw their bodies into the air. The turns and twists of the performers' bodies easily outnumbers the bodies in the audience. Here is where the theme of the performers is evident: breaking the rules to make a New Circus. "Behind each perilous leap, there is a purpose, an intention, an individual, an emotion," director Franco Dragone wrote in the circus' program. "Since 1984, we have dealt primarily with circus acts in a theatrical context," continued Dragone. ' The concept has widened. The public will see the physical theater itself integrated into the numbers." Cirque Du Soleil also features a few performers that are out of the ordinary in a circus crowd. Zhao Liang draws the audience's attention as she commands the power of umbrellas. At one point, she balances two umbrellas atop one another on one foot, and spins one each on her other foot and both hands. i Soviet performer Vassiliy Demenchoukov catches the viewers' hearts and suspense as he balances on a total of nine chairs, stacked on each other. This is done as he carries a lighted birthday cake, celebrating Montreal's 350th birthday. Theflyersand acrobats, with a quick costume change, soon become the stage team. Also known as the "Corporation," these bellhopclad characters show their skills not only as performers, but demonstrate the ability to transform the one-ring tent into a stage for each a ct They follow the orders of Mme CorporaSEE CIRQUE/PAGE 10 Vargus flops under the big top LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER I magine flying through the air with the greatest of ease, or riding a 12,000-pound elephant You don't need to tame lions or dress up in clown make-up to enjoy the circus; all that's needed is the desire to be a kid again.

Now playing throughout San Diego County, Circus Vargas is complete with death-defying acrobatic feats, thrilling animal acts itfid whimsical clowns. What it" 1 lacks is consistency and humor. Twenty-two years ago, Vargas started a circus with three trucks and eight animals. Today, Circus Vargas has over 400 animal and human performers and costs $20 million annually to run. It is listed with the'Guinness Book of World Records' as the largest traveling big top. The tent is 300 feet long and towers four stories high. It is constructed of 90,000 square feet of fabric weighing more than 17 tons, 24,478 feet of cable and rope and 485 stakes. What the tent lacks is sufficient heating. Dress warmly on a cool night or expect to freeze.

The U.S.-born performer travels with the Cirque Du Soleil, a Montreal-based touring pi reus. Although his physical capabilities don't allow him to leap across the stage like his fellow acrobats, Shiner's character becomes the continuing focus throughout the show and conveys the theme in a way only a clown can tell. Not long after the circus begins, Shiner's clown emerges. He's dressed in a common American suit, slightly altered to fit a clown but still neutral in color. His dream: to join the bright and vibrant cast of the "flounes," his French counterpart. In some scenes, he proves his worth to the audience. In others, he tries to communicate with his foreign friends. In both instances, the audience can relate. A clown isn't a clown unless he makes people laugh; and, the audience shares his communication difficulties with the French ensemble. His nameless clown can never be a convincing face in the crowd, and the audience finds this funny. "My clown is tragic, neurotic, and at the same time he makes you laugh with his jacket sleeves and pant legs that are just a little too short," said Shiner. "He's a true anarchist, violating the social rules and conventions that define what a person is." The American clown does join the cast of Cirque Du Soleil, but only after a transformation. That transition is not to be revealed here.

Eighteen years later, Marty becameCircus Vargas* Ambassador of Good Will, traveling all over the U.S. bringing joy and laughter to children of all ages. "I've been clowning for 25 years," says Marty. The last six of those have been with Circus Vargas. Marty says the real joy of performing in front of large audiences comes from seeing the faces of happy children. Even on days when he doesn't feel in the spirit of clowning, he says the children bring him back in the mood. "It's energizing when kids cheer you on," he says. Marty is probably one of the busiest clowns in America, performing seven days a week, 48 weeks a year, entertaining at schools, church groups, hospitals, malls, parades and benefits. His act combines magic, baffling buffoonery, balloon animals and face painting. A theme Marty stresses to all children, is that using drugs can be dangerous. "I tell them that clowning around with drugs is not funny," he says. Marty says he's always ready to spend the 45 minutes necessary to put on his greasepaint and costume. He's been seen on Good Morning America, Bozo the Clown Show, Totally Hidden Video, Romper Room and L.A. Kids among other programs. Marty is also scheduled to appear in 'Autobahn', an upcoming motion picture starring Dom Deluise.

In essence, all performers are clowns, delivering joy and happiness to all who watch. Those who get the privilege of creating laughter, are classified by the French;as "flounes." The flounes have their own language, neither French nor English, but it is understood by all. They perform music, throw things at one another or at the spectators — occasionally throwing members of the audience — and always bring a smile to their viewers. It is said that the flounes get their nourishment from costumes, makeup, and masks. If true, then they are on one weird diet. "They move, breathe, and express themselves as a single character without the members losing their individuality," said Werner Straub, designer of the flounes' superb masks. Together with their fellow performers of Cirque Du Soleil, the flounes make you want to run away and join the circus.

Members of this acrobatic troupe swing on the three-person mechanism, only to leap off one at a time with spectacular flips and twists. Between the dramatic numbers, clowns strut their stuff in small skits that keep the younger sect in stitches, but the humor stops there. Adults will find the clowning around to be, at best, stupid. There was no tightrope act, which produced some dismay, however the trapeze artists brought the circus to the height of its ability. The infamous triple-flip, thought by many to be among the most dangerous of trapeze stunts, was performed by two separate acrobats simultaneously in two separate rings. By far the best part of the show was the dog act. The furry little critters were two tail wags better than the big cats and far funnier than the clowns.

February and March offer an exciting entourage of three circuses for those who love to watch death-defying acts of skill and courage.

These two circuses are known for their acrobatic excellence as well as their abilities to captivate an audience. So steprightup and focus your attention on the centerring.The circus has come to town. In accordance with one of the oldest and most popular of circus traditions, Circus Vargus will raise the world's largest big top tent in several San Diego locations through Feb. 25. Circus Vargus' all-new 22nd Edition features over 400 international performers and animals in a $20 million production. The twohour extravaganza features 10 elephants, tigers, chimpanzees, two flying trapeze troupes, the Wheel of Death, and of course, clowns. Two cities remain on Circus Vargus' San Diego tour. The big top opens it's show tonight in El Cajon at the Cajon Speedway, just west of Broadway off Highway 67, and runs through Feb. 21. The Del Mar Fairgrounds will host the circus next, starting Feb. 22. The public is invited to witness the raising of the football-field sized tent, nearly four stories high, at 10:30 a.m. on every opening day. The elephants, led by Colonel Joe, America's largest performing elephant, and other animals will be on display and a clown will be on hand to serve refreshments to the children. Those looking for extra work are invited to help raise the circus tent for a nominal fee. Job-seekers should arrive at the circus site at ' 6 a.m. on the day of the first performance. Listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, Circus Vargus' big top is the largest traveling big-top circus in the world. Founder Clifford Vargus used this Italian-made tent when Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus was forced to take down their tent and move indoors in 1976 due to escalating costs. When Circus Vargus travels through San Diego, a giveaway is being offered that would excite the green-thumbers and disinterest others. It's well-known among those folks who are savvy about gardening that elephants manure is a mineralrichfertilizer. With the true philanthropic spirit, the Circus Vargus elephants are going to do their bit to contribute to the cause. The production line starts immediately upon arrival at each location, and there will be no shortage of freshly produced product. The public is invited to arrive with shovels and bags in hand - their sense of smell will lead them to therightspot - and help themselves to as much as they want of "Pachyderm Power." Circus Vargus allows seconds on all days following opening day at each location. A carnival with game booths and attractions is also offered with each performance of the circus. Fun-seekers can view the House of Giant Reptiles, ride a pony or an elephant, and play carnival games. A refreshment booth also serves hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and drinks. Tickets for the circus, which includes all events except the carnival, range from $8.50 to $16.50 with discounts for children. Ticket prices at Del Mar will be slightly higher to incorporate a 10 percent admission tax.

In May of 1990, Cirque du Soleil launched it 1990-91 North American Tour with a brand new show called "Nouvelle Experience." In 1991, this French circus remains on the West Coast for a few months. After playing in San Diego for a two week run, Cirque will set up its blue and yellow big top tent in Coast Mesa from Feb. 22 to March 9. This Orange County performance will be in the South Coast Plaza parking area. "Nouvelle Experience" is an international extravaganza with attractions from China, Europe, North America and the Soviet Union. For the first time this century, the Soviet National Circus, Soyuzgoscirk, has allowed its artists to perform with a non-soviet circus. Vladimir Kehkaial seemingly takes to the skies like Icarus of ancient Greek mythology. Thp second Soviet artist, Vassili Dementchoukov, performs a solo chair-balancing act C llRCUs I V, J O N A T H ÀI ùwgmm IMiliVijitjlj^liW perched atop a staggering tower of nine dining room chairs. Also featured in this year's show are a troupe of Chinese-trained contortionists who recently won the gold metal in the Festival Du Cirque de L'acenir competition in Paris; Canadian solo trapeze artist and silver metal winner Anne Lepage; and a French trapeze act with the whimsical Fous Volants, meaning Flying Fools. Since the start of their tour, Cirque du Soleil has been travelling across North America with a new Big Top, in the familiar colors. More comfortable and spacious, it holds an audience of 2,499 spectators. "Cirque du Soleil redefines the meaning of circus/' said director Franco Dragone. "It combines theatric elements such as sophisticated lighting, brilliant costuming, and original jazz/rock score and creative choreography, with traditional circus elements and the excitement and spontaneity of street performance." Audiences in Montreal, Seattle, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Monica and San Diego enthusiastically welcomed Cirque du Soleil's new production which attracted crowds at a record setting pace, reaching more than half a million spectators in seven months. Tickets are available through the Cirque du Soleil box office at 284-1286 or through Ticketmaster at 278-8497. General admission for the performance is $27. Tickets are also on sale for the all-new 1990-91 edition of the Moscow Circus. The Soviet performers will be at the San Diego Sports Arena for nine shows March 13-17. Featuring thefinestperformers in the Soviet Union, the cast was chosen from more than 6,000 performers in 137 Russian circuses. The show stars 10 aerial artists, the Flying Cranes, whose act combines a quadruple somersault and other daring moves with the choreography of a ballet. Other acts include the Zolkins and their three juggling bears, tightrope artists, clowns and the Cossack horsemen. Tickets are $20, $17.50 and $12.50, with the opening night performance at half price and the Friday matinee at $8.

Each of his pieces seems to have come directly from an ancient Egyptian Tomb. However, once one looks closely at the work, one begins to discover modern themes and material. Ghirardi, as elusive as his art work, chooses to present his art simply and allow the viewer to make the decision of what he or she thinks about the piece. For over 11 years, Ghirardi has been creating his own form of art by constructing "an upside down cake" of plastic, rubber, metals, enamels and oxides. These ingredients, assembled upon a plate of glass, are then covered with wet cement When the cement dries, the plate of glass is removed and the "cake" is alive with color, texture, and feeling. Powerful in form, these pieces of art by Ghirardi speak to the viewer. While not exactly making a clear, concise declaration, the implied statement and impressions that Ghirardi's art forms generate compel the viewer to examine and explore the works. One of the most fascinating and absoibing pieces of art work by Ghirardi is named "Afterglow." Even ¿hough the theme is not explicitly stated, one can recognize the shape of a large 1950s style beanie and almost discern playful yellow shapes resembling children running around the entire shape of the beanie. Outside the realm of the beanie are two large, red drops. Within the pattern of the beanie, is a "subtext" of crowded pictures WENDY WILLIAMS PIONEER FILM CRITIC Foster, Hopkins stun audience in Silence of Lambs' Artist David Ghirardi reflects on his piece, 'Monk Brown'. containing shapes of cars, buses, modern buildings and a male figure with a shirt and tie implanted into the cement and covered with plastic. The picture "subtext" inside the beanie is small and seemingly unimportant; however, this implanted group seems to be growing inside ¿he beanie, ready to overpower it. Possibly representing innocence, the beanie is losing parts of itself to the modern, grown-up world that is within it. The two large drops of red paint could represent the pain of lost innocence through modernization, industrialization, and even adulthood, the "Afterglow" of childhood. Other pieces in the exhibit elicit similar K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER emotional and intellectual pensiveness. Their messages must be heard and interpreted by each viewer. It is exhilarating to find an artist like Ghirardi who successfully blends modern material and universal themes into original pieces of a rt Moreover, the most interesting challenge with Ghirardi*s art is the discovery of the thesis and the unravelling of the meaning of his art work. If you wish to view a type of art that is challenging, unique and original, then take a trip to David Lewison Gallery at the Del Mar Plaza, 1555 Camino Del Mar, and behold the magnificent pieces of art by artist David Ghirardi. Clarice Starling was 13-years-old when she went to live at her uncle's sheep and horse farm. She awoke one night to the awful screaming of the lambs and they were being slaughtered. The new movie 'Silence of the Lambs' reveals this information and more as Starling, an FBI trainee played brilliantly by Jodie Foster, is given her first big assignment. She is sent to a top security facility to interview Dr. Hannibal "the Cannibal" Lector, a brilliant psychologist who has killed his patients and eaten their tongues. Lector knows something about a madman serial killer, named Buffalo Bill, who is now killing young women and skinning their backs, but he won't tell Starling what he knows until she reveals secrets from her personal life. Starling must not only contend with this situation, the fears of handling her first big case, while trying to make a good impression of her male superiors and finding the courage to have SEE LAMBS/PAGE 14 'Man for All Seasons' challenges best in us Moonlight's play a metaphor useful in modern-day t imes a few short years in the life of Sir Thomas More, Minister to King^Henry How often do we see a production VIII, it chronicles his struggle to rethat really inspires and challenges the sist Henry * s attempts to invalidate his best within us? 4 A Man for All Sea- marriage to Katherine of Aragon sons' is a play which causes us to because of her inability to produce an question ourselves and to wonder just heir to his throne. how far we would go to defend the RandallHickmanplaysabrilliant, values we easily espouse. passionate Henry, accurately reflectHow many of us are made of the ing the mercurial moods of the mastuff or martyrs?

One wonders what Director Franco Zeffirelli could possibly have been thinking about. Elizabethan Drama meets Lethal Weapon? Literature and drama connoisseurs the world over let out a collective groan of disbelief, imagining the Bard himself rolling over in his tomb. It was with some surprise, and much delight, that I discovered that the combination of Mel and the Renaissance couplets made for a memorable performance. Gibson's expressive rendition of the lead role is subtly charming, never overplayed and has the per- fect mixture of fatal indecision and sympathetic pathos. Glenn Close, in the role of the Queen, is quite simply stunning. The Madness scene, featuring relative newcomer Helen BonhemCarter ('Lady Jane'} as a lovely Ophelia, was riveting, moving many in the audience to tears. In today's market of MTV-attention spans and excessive, graphic violence, will people pay to sec a four-hundred-year-old play? Apparently they will, if it contains Mel Gibson. Since its wide release two weeks ago,4 Hamlet' has enjoyed stunning ticket sales. What Zeffirelli has done here is combined a good old-fashioned story with fantastic cinematography and wonderful personalities, making the audience exit the theaters with smiles on their faces. The result is a Shakespeare that speaks to the audience without the necessity for subtitles. Bill, who wrote his plays for people to see, not for English scholars to argue about, most likely feels that all is justfinein the state of Denmark. LAMBS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13 a final confrontation with a vicious killer. Foster is a consummate pro. This is a different role that, in someone clses interpretations, would have come off as just another tough chick. Like Sigourncy Weaver in the 4Aliens' series, Foster proves that a woman can aptly carry a suspense thriller. Anthony Hopkins, as Lector, is also a wonder to watch. His savagery is unquestionable, playing a dangerous cat and mouse game with Starling's mind and career. The plot unfolds slowly, building up the suspense like a pressure cooker. 'The Silence of the Lambs' makes you squirm, knowing that something terrible is about to happen, but not letting you in on what it is.

Carter discussed the future of CSUSM with students and gave his viewpoints on the proposed budget cuts to higher education by California Governor Pete Wilson. Carter said he understood the governor's position and commented that "the problems with higher education were inherited by Governor Wilson, not created by him." Carter also discussed plans for student governance, the formation of student activities and the quality of curriculum at CSUSM. MAYOR NAMED BALL HONOREE San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau has been named honoree at this year's University Ball. The naming comes after a suggestion for his appointment by the CSUSM Foundation. The University Ball is the college's primary fundraiser. Tickets for the Ball, which has enjoyed sold-out crowds in the past, are $ 125. Thibadeau said he was "honored" by the appointment and said he felt that he was just one of many integral persons helpful in the formation of the university. For the past seven years,Thibadeau was instrumental in attracting attention to the new university. As a city councilman, he was one of the first to approach California Senator William Craven with the idea of a North County university. TWO CONCERT PERFORMANCES PLANNED March marks the beginning of another series of concerts at the CSUSM, SDSU North County Library . The series is sponsored by both universities and admission is free to the public. Holly Hoffman, a critically acclaimed recording artist, will bring a unique hard-driving jazz style to the university for Women's History Month. Hoffman's melodic renditions with the flute will be accompanied by Gunnar Biggs, on the bass, Mike Wofford, piano, and Jim Plank, on the drums. Hoffman will perform March 10 in the Library. The performance begins at 7 p.m. Raices del Ande, a music ensemble that specializes in Andean music, will perform March 17 in the Library. The four founding members of Raices del Ande are from Bolivia. Donald Funes, Professor of Fine Arts at CSUSM, was the group's director for several years and will be performing with them on their West Coast tour. For more information on the concert series, call 471-3515. SPEAKER'S SERIES RESUMES NEWS Rains cause damage on campus A series of storms that hit the area last week left campus officials and students drowning in rain-rejated problems. * Downpours caused the collapse of ceilings throughout thecampus, while flooding occurred in the student parking lot. "Every building has roof leaks," said Ivalee Clark, assistant director of Support Services. "It happens every time it rains." According to Clark, ceiling damage in the 800 Building was extensive. Financial Services was also inundated with rain damage. Campus officials pointed out that, despite discomfort created from the rains, instruction was not dampened. Bookstore worker John Harris noted flooding in one of Aztec S hops' storage rooms. According to Harris, damage was done to paper products which were stored in the room. Koll Management, thefirmwhich oversees the building complex where the temporary campus is located, refused comment on the flooding. An official from Koll did say, however, that reparations would be made when the rains ceased. Some students reported that tow trucks were needed to free waterlogged cars fromfloodedareas in the student parking lot. Service was also needed for several cars that would not start due to soaked distributor caps. Those who parked on the street adjacent to the campus also waded through their share of problems. CSÚSM student Judy Walters said she had to remove a fallen tree limb from the road in order to park her car. M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER CSUSM student Steve Felice climbs over the fence surrounding the parking lot after rains last Thursday flooded the lot's exit. Liberal Studies student Wendy Peterson faced problems of a different nature. Peterson, who is restricted to a motorized wheelchair, found the flooded parking lot inconvenient She said she dropped a book in a puddle while trying to negotiate the drenched campus. Officials speculated that the damage to ceilings occurred because of the complex's flat-roofed construction. Task Force seeks government model J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER After a semester of research, Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force continues to work on the second step in implementing a student government by the end of this semester.

Taylor said the survey would not mandate what structure the Task Force would choose. "It's not a vote," she said. "It's to get a general idea of what the students would support.... The survey allows us to make the correct decision. It's more of an informative survey for us." Task Force member David Hammond said that by last Friday afternoon, about 90 surveys were returned; a total of 1,000 surveys were distributed to students by professors. "We were pleased with 90," Hammond said. "It shows a statistical significance because it represents a large share of students as far as surveys-gor"- - — - 1——. J Both Taylor and Hammond said the Representative structure was leading the three examples, but noted that not all surveys were tabulated. "Itappears that the Representative Government was the most popular pick among the students," Hammond said. "Three out of the six Task Force members want the Representative," said Taylor. "It allows everyone to take part. It's truly representative of the organization of a whole." A decision is expected to be made at this Friday's Task Force meeting. The next phase is to writeaconstitution based on the chosen form of government. That project is expected to take about three months. The final phase is implementing the student government with elections. "Hopefully, we'll be able to have elections thissemester,"Taylor said. �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1 9 9 1 NEWS Only moderate exercise needed to maintain healt Most people believe physical exercise is beneficial to one' s health and well-being; however, a frequent response to questioning about exercise is, "I just don't have time."

RAH PASSES TOURS HOSTELS Instructor's musical teaching theory beats with a different global drum LARRY BOISJOUE/PIONEER To Dr. Donald Funes, there is more to music than reading notes and studying composers. Funes, who instructs music at Cal State San Marcos, wants to help create a Music Department that reflects global awareness and intra-cultural sensitivity. "It's difficult to break the traditional molds of teaching music," said Funes "Programs traditionally deal with dead, white, male composers." Funes teaches his classes the con-! cept of ethnomusicology, the study of music in its social context. Funes said that this form of music education will increase sensitivity about women and other races. He indicated that the study ofjust classical composers is not reflective of the whole picture music paints. "We need to look at music in the context of society," he said. Apart from teaching music of other cultures, Funes is also active in performing it as well. On March 17, he will be performing with Raices del Andes, a group of South American musicians. Funes, who was trained in classical music in Washington, became involved with Andean music after searchingfordifferentstylesofmusical expression. "In the 60s I started hearing more and more folk music. I wanted to play in a more informal environment, so I started searching for different types of music," Funes said. His search began in India, but was cut short due to problems at home. In the mid 1980s, Funes took a sabbatical in New York to teach Concert Raices Del r Ande: Performs the second show in this semesters Concert Series sponsored by CSUSM and SDSU North County.

Simon, according to Funes, has awakened the world's interest in South African music. Funes said that music reflects class struggles within cultures, and that it is able to adapt with cultures. In order to capture the feelings in different types of music, Funes said he likes to attend traditional festivals South American countries to get the feel of the culture.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN M ARCOS �PIONEER/TUESDAY, M ARCH 5 , 1 991 Nation now has new heros, cause For two decades, America has been a nation without a cause. Following the tragedy of Vietnam and in the wake of Watergate, a cloud ofcomplacency settled upon acountry feeling the injuries of war and betrayal by its leaders. For two decades, we have been a nation without heros. With the death of Martin Luther King, Black America lost its greatest symbol of true freedom andequality. The President of the United States lost his leadership and became nothing less than a common criminal to his baffled nation. Our soldiers, in fighting a socially unpopular war, lost their dignity somewhere amidst the confusion. PURVIEWS P I O N E E R S T A F F E DITORIAL Women deserve equality In the 1970s, the proposed Equal Rights Amendment was shot down. The rejection wasn't because it didn't receive the amount of needed votes; it cleared the House, the Senate* President Jimmy Carter, and 48 states had ratified the bill. This ideal amendment failed to become a part of America's constitution simply by missing its deadline. Utah and North Carolina failed to cast their vote by the scheduled date. These two states, controlled mainly by strong, male-dominated churches, failed to add to this country's foundation of laws a revolutionary bill that would have been beneficial to the female population as well as the male. Women in America have been lobbying and rallying for equality among the male-founded, run, and dominated American society; a patriarchal culture has determined how this country was molded and set. Today's culture has changed and now women want to stand on the same platforms as their counterparts. This new setting is welcomed by most, and should be allowed to evolve in a society where both sexes are equal. What those two states failed to realize when they missed the ratification deadline was that the Equal Rights Amendment would also benefit men, since with equality comes mutual responsibility. The military is a good example for this point, a topic of high interest today. Women would have had a kind of two-fold equality when it comes to the battlefield. First, a woman could fight alongside a man when defending this country or attacking an offending army. Some consider it a great honor to die for this country, an honor only reserved for men. What makes a woman less suitable to fight a war? What makes a man more superior in this area? The second part of this equal responsibility is that women would be forced to fight; a draft would include women as well as men. - ir; AaQttessOT&lfcQf shared responsibility would perhaps be a new viewpoint of child-raising. This could have been a great victory for the man, the parent who is usually denied the right to raising children in the case of divorce or a split-up based on his gender. Who determined that a man is less suitable to build a family? What makes a woman much more superior in this area? Society has stereotyped the man as strong with no feelings, a woman with feelings and no strength. People asked that to change with the proposed amendment, and it must if the evolution to equality is to develop. Mythology shows the worship of a goddess, history shows civilization with shared powers among genders; in the 70s it was two different denominations in two distant states that felt their religion to be sorightthat they had to keep men superior to women. Religion should not dominate the decision making of today and neither should men. The failure of the Equal Rights Amendment is a scar on America's history. Females deserve equal status, representation, and responsibility. Keep in mind, however, the term "equality," a word the late states might have misunderstood. The added words to the constitution would not change America's culture to a matriarchal society, but only grant equality. This miscommunication between countrypersons would also have corrected some reverse discrimination. The availability for scholarships and jobs for women was drastically low then. To correct that, a surge of needed monies and career opportunities opened. Now getting funding for school and finding a job is easier for a woman than for a man. This is is a reflection of Affirmative Action. Both examples, in attempting to correct discrimination, now discriminate against the white man. This discrimination game would have stopped with theEqual Rights Amendment. J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER A country that is moved to patriotic tears and feels the glimmer of pride glowing in its soul, is a place beyond the memory of most of us. For two decades we have been a nation without feeling, cause or heros. If there is anything to be learned from the events in the Persian Gulf, it's that America is, once again, aplaceof heros and cause. With General Colin Powell, Black America once again has a prodigious model of leadership. His name has become a synonym of intelligence an integrity that we all can utter with pride. George Bush has brought honor back to the title of President. His calmness and steadfastness combined to reveal the Chief Executive as a superb diplomat, while his powers as Commander-in-Chief brought strength back to the reputation of the military. The soldiers of the war - ourfriends,family and spouses - are heros, not only of our hearts, but ofour souls as well. They fought for all that the word "America" has traditionally symbolized, and walked away victorious. To them we owe the Inflation of our country's value. What all these heros stand for, is the awakening of a consciousness that has laid asleep for two decades. The veterans of our past war can now walk with dignity for all to see, while politicians can move awayfromthe mistrusted realm of lawyers and used-car salespeople. Black Americans can now chase their dreams with one of many men who have dared to conquer them. Whereas once we laughed at Bush's idea of a New World Order, now we can join it in faith and make it our own peaceful reality. If all this seems overly sentimental and rhetorical, then look at the miraculously low loss of lives our troops suffered in the war. Even though the death of just one human being to warfare is intolerable and grievous, the impossibly small loss of our lives gives us physical evidence that hopes can indeed become realized. Let us all welcome our troops back with a blaze of enlightenment and show them that they were fighting for more than oil they werefightingfor all this country stands for. Those who bravelyriskedtheir lives for thefreedomof a tiny chunk of the world should stand forever in our hearts as monuments against complacency. Their cause was just and they are heros all. It is time now for each of us to be heros on the homefront. We should take the courage of those soldiers far away and internalize i t Let us all f^ght peacefully for our long-lost American dream. �TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991 / P I O N E E R P50-2 S.

I have no place to go." a n IRAQI CAPTAIN upon surrender OPINION L ibrary needs e xpanded h ours to complete u niversity's mission A school's reputation is built just like a new business: one finished product at a time. In this regard, we are fortunate that the mission here at Cal State San Marcos is to build "Stanford South." We will be the benficiaries of these commitmants. While I am glad that the Cal State San Marcos faculty is fulfilling its promise to squeeze everythingfromus that is possible, I fefel like a football player starting the Superbowl without helmet and shoulder pads: I'm playing hard, but I am getting way too banged around. Sure, we all knew that the entreprenuerial venture entailed some bumps, but I - and others - are fed up with a major campus deficiency: adequate library access time. In the world according to 1990 higher-education curriculum, student use of the library is far more meaningful than just a quiet room with, D AVID HAMMOND P I O N E E R C OLUMNIST books. In fact, a legitimate argument circulates that the library should be two seperate areas: Circulation, for books and such, and a Computer Lab, for line time that is unaffordable at home, and unaccordable anywhere but the school. So it goes that when a library closes at 4:30 7 pm, or never opens on Sunday, both resources are denied, and the prospect of "Stanford South" becomes a pipe dream. Ultimately, Cal State San Marcos will default to the diploma-mill status as frustrated students give up their ambitions to master the "A" grade. On theother hand, action speaks louder than words. This column will only reach a few administrators, but your collective voice can shake a world. The only means to extending the library hours (and thereby providing the means to fulfill tlte dreams) is a letter and petition campaign. Drop off a note at President Stacy's office indicating that you want the library hours extended to 7 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and open on Sunday. Sign the petitions that are circulating. Your slightest involvement will contribute to the greater cause. Cold War downfall brings uncertainty I miss the cold war. Especially after following the most recent hot one. If war is hell, what is a cold war? Heaven? Maybe not quite, but I think the cold war provided all nations with concise roles. All countries fell in one of three categories. Either pro-west, pro-east, or Switzerland. Everybody knew how to behave themselves politically during those times. For example, a country aligned with the west would not have invaded one of the opposite affiliation because the Soviet Union would see the move as a direct aggression against its interests. The USSR in turn would have to go against the initial aggressor, which the U.S. would see as an act against their interests. Now we have direct clash of super powers. But both powers had MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) and were wise enough to understand i t Both had to keep regional strifes in check to guarantee their survival. A super power invasion into territory that was not considered crucial to the other side was protested in the United Nations but that is were it stopped. It was always comical when a representative aired grievances, and the offending party nodded complacently as if listening to a Bob Marley and The Wailers tape through his or her earphones. When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan or S o^P. I side was completely out of the question. But things are a little different now. For understandable reasons Gorbachev decided that domestic problems were more important than spending billions of Rubles keeping the Capitalistic Protection Rampart standing. In a way Hungary can be blamed for the gulf crisis. They were the first Eastern Block nation to dismantle their Capitalistic Protection Rampart protecting them from Austria. Thousands of Hungarians and East Germans took the advantage of the open border end migrated to the west. East Germany was losing so many people that their country was on the verge of collapse. They had no choice but to tear down the wall. The Iron Curtain was lifted and the East Block aired out. George Bush calls this the S HARE YOUR V IEWS "New World Order."

K EN BAUERMEI!STER/PIQNEER �PIONEER/TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1991 Local Comedy Nite has every element of successful clubs LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With its highly conservative attitude and particularly austere lifestyle, finding a good stage for jokes in North County can be as difficult as finding a condom in a monastery. But Comedy Nite in Oceanside uses just therightblend of atmosphere and talent to make even the most prudish of San Diego audiences burst with laughter. ' The atmosphere at Comedy Nite contains all the traditional j tt elements one would expect in a comedy club. The walls are ™ adorned with pictures of many of today's brightest comedians. The stage has a traditional backdrop of bricks and is conveniently close to die patrons for maximum performer-audience interaction. Drinks with names like ' The Elaine 'Booz'ler," "The Yakov Smirnoff* and the "The Pee Wee Herman" are served alongside food items with names like "The Robin Williams" and "The George Carlin." But the real stars at Comedy Nite are the performers themselves. For an entertainment club that is barely a year old, Comedy Nite hosts a surprisingly adept scope of talent Everyone from the emcee to the headliner on the night I attended was top-notch in the not-so-subtle art of generating laughter. The show on Feb. 25 began with a Mexican-American comedian from Lubbock, Texas named Raphael. As emcee, Raphael set the tone of the show with a series of witty jokes about his heritage. He interwove a Mexican-American perspective into a routine that touched on everyday observances and occurrences. The first act introduced by Raphael was Pierre, a performer ¡from Washington D.C. Pierre was by far the most disappointing performer of the night. His downfall was not due to the lack of snappiness in his routine, but rather from the abruptness of i t After warming the audience up with a series of clever gags about hitchhikers, Pierre quickly packed up his show and yielded to the next performer, leaving the audience thirsting for more. Having gone to the trouble of bringing Pierre in from D.C., the least Comedy Nite could have done was give him a few more minutes.

"Would you like to see my dog do a trick," asks Lee. The crowd responds with affirmative applause. "So would I," says Lee. Most comedians would have trouble eliciting any kind of laughter with this joke, but in Lee's case it is a big success. Michael Lee is blind, and Troy is not only his best friend, he's his eyes as well. Lee represents a unique brand of entertainer that can take a disability, that would be a tragedy to most, and transform it into comedy. Apartfromcomedy, Lee hosts a radio show for people with disabilities, gives motivational speeches across the country and has had articles published in major magazines. But for the 35-year-old comic, dealing with blindness has not always been a laughing matter. His life of darkness began 22 years ago while lighting a fire.

One moment the mass will be in stitches, literally spilling their drinks onto thefloorwith laughter. The next moment they turn like hungry piranhas, ready to shred the performer with razorsharp heckles. I stood in the back of the room awaiting my turn, hoping desperately that the entertainer in front of me was worse than I could possibly be. Before I knew it, my name was called and it was my turn to face theficklecrowd. I had just entered that unique corner of the twilight zone known as stand-up comedy. With three major comedy clubs and a variety of nightspots which feature amateur and professional comedians, the San Diego area is a west coast Mecca for those wishing to delve into the art of making people laugh. Clubs like the Improvisation in Pacific Beach, or the Comedy Store in La Jolla, attract name stars like Robin Williams or Eddie Murphy. With a little luck, a lot of perseverance and a hell of a lot of nerve, almost anyone with the ability to launch a good yuk can make it big in the local comedy circuit. My experience with stand-up comedy lasted a gruelling six months. I travelled from nightclub to nightclub, hitting every amateur night and hoping to walk away with at least a tenuous grasp on my integrity. TYPING TYPING S The steps are easy for those wishing to score a three-minute gig at an amateur comedy night. First meticulously write an entertaining routine that addresses social problems in a lighthearted and quasi-intellectual fashion and demonstrates to the audience that not only are you a person of wit, but of substance as well. Or, you can do like I did and stoop to outright stupid jokes. The key to putting together a riotous routine is integrating yourself into the script. Find that one thing funny about yourself whether it be your looks or your love life - and build around it. If there is absolutely nothing funny about yourself, then develop an amusing alter-ego, or schtick, and use it to do the talking. Since I was an employee for a grocery störe, I incorporated my experiences with products and customers as a gimmick. I used everything from plastic bags to heads of cauliflower as props. Be sure to incorporate canned responses to whatever hecklers might be in the crowd. Hecklers do not necessarily interrupt the performance to degrade the comedian, sometimes their unsolicited remarks are launched as a crude form of compliment. If the heckler is ignored, however, any reputation for wit that the NEED SOMETHING TYPED? flCCCJ-TYPE handles: • Class papers • Resumes imw • Typesetting • Design • B&W camera services TYPING CALL TODAY: TYPING TYPING fiCCd-TYPE (619) 743-1426 E E K E R CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 S performer has established will be destroyed. After meticulously writing and rewriting a routine, practice it thoroughly until it flows from your tongue. Do it in the bathroom, in front of the mirror, or in the car while driving. Do it in the living room or at work, and when you've done it enough to where it seems natural and free-flowing, do it in front of a non-captive audience. Choose your mother in-law or boss, or anyone else who is disinterested in what you have to say, and launch your repertoire. If they have trouble holding back even the slightest of grins, then you'rQ ready to perform. Avoid practicing in front of dogs, cats, ztsrz goldfish, or any other lower life form, since it is difficult to tell if they are smiling or even paying attention. B^i The stage itself is the most intimidating factor of the entire comedy experience. There are complete mixed feelings of uncertainty and aloneness which seem to flow from your pores under the burning lights. Stage fright manifests itself in the most extreme fashion when you are trying to make a crowd of people laugh. I found the feeling of terror ¡ P3P£ m S EE THRILL/PAGE 1 1 an HBO comedy special, is probably best known for his short stints on MTV. The madcap white-gloved hands that trounce throughout the video network's transmissions belong to the baggy-pants funnyman himself. Gaulke's routine had its shining moments, but seemed far too drawn-out. He stretches his clothes far better than he stretches his routine. What makes Gaulke such a prized performer, is his limber use of his hands in the "fingerman" schtick, and the clever way in which he manipulates his clothing. His "torso-man" routine was the funniest 20 seconds of the night. But, without question, the funniest 20 minutes of the evening belonged to Boston comic Peter Bermen. A former loser on 'Star Search' and 'Remote Control,' Bermen was a winner with the audience. Not only was Bermen's stock routine well-written and masterfully performed, his talent of improvisation was mind-boggling as well. With effortless ease, he bent with the crowd. His interplay with them was quick and user-friendly. Bermen brought daily issues, like the war, into his routine, and was able to joke about sex without using profanity. Look for him to make it big in the future. All of the shows presented at the club were almost television clean. With limited use of profanity, the performers demonstrated that laughter doesn't have to be a four-letter word. On a scale of one to four "yawps," - four "yawps" being the best - the Comedy Nite performers I saw got a hearty three and threequarters "yawps" and maybe a "giggle" or two.

Through his experiences, Lee was able to communicate with the kids that all people are disabled in some way. "Kids talked about their own disabilities," Lee says. They began to recognize that wearing glasses or being overweight was subject to the same kinds ofridiculeas having a disability like blindness. Lee enjoyed the experience so much, he began speaking to crowds of people on a regular basis. "When I speak, I like to invoke emotions in the audience. If I can get them to laugh, then I'm successful," Lee says, Sixteen months ago, after his wife left him, Lee decided it was time to clean up his act and lead a healthy life. He quit smoking and EXPLORE 1 1 entered the Clean and Sober program. "After I quit smoking and drinking, I was left with a whole lot of time," says Lee. So he decided to pursue his longtime ambition of becoming a stand-up comedian. Lee faced his fear of stage fright and took a workshop by comedy coach Lee Glickstein. After observing Lee's ability of launching a joke, Glickstein asked him to perform in a comedy show highlighting disabled comedians. "At first he asked me to do 10 minutes and I says I can do that. The 10 minutes turned into 15, then 20 and finally I was asked to emcee the show," says Lee. The show, c alled Access to Comedy,'featured two other performers with disabilities. The other performers were Benjamin Stewart, a 29-inch tall comedian with brittle-bone disease, and Joel Rutledge, a legally blind comic with a stuttering problem. The show was covered by a local San Francisco NBC affiliate and footage of the show reached CNN. Since the Access to Comedy* 4 4 I NTERNATIONAL M ARKETING F IRM NOW HIRING INTERNS!!

HAVE DOG WILL TRAVEL show, Lee has performed at San Francisco's oldest comedy club, the Holy City Zoo, and has done routines in the San Diego area at Phil McNasty's in Escondido and Diego's Surfside in Solana Beach. He performs in the area when visiting his mother in Fallbrook or his 4-year-old daughter, Robin who lives in North County with his exwife. Lee travels across the country, giving motivational speeches with . his dog Troy. Last month alone, he travelled to Arizona, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. and Chicago. "Troy loves people and travelling," says Lee. "Although he bugs club owners because he likes to lay in the walkways." About 50 percent of Lee's routines deal with blindness, while the other half focuses on modern issues like the war and relationships. Occasionally Lee runs across a heckler or two when doing his routine, but he says dealing with them is all part of the a ct "I've been heckled," he says. "When you work in a place that serves alcohol, you have to be ready to deal with hecklers. If you let them intimidate you, then you're gone." * Lee says he is a "friendly comedian," or a performer that doesn't pick on the audience. He says that working with an audience is more natural to him than putting the crowd down. The most rewarding experience associated with public speaking came for Lee one night after a presentation. "A person came up to me after a speech and said, 'I was considering suicide until I heard you,'" he says. Lee regularly hosts a radio show in the Bay Area called 'Comic Minds.' The program, which is aimed at people with disabilities, airs, through national link-up, across the country. On the show, he interviews comedians and takes calls from listeners. Someday, Lee says he would like to do commercials on television and build his exposure. "Comedy has given me confi- «¿v dence in myself to stand up and do things," he says. THRILL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 v diminishing after the first laughs from the crowd. Once you realize that your routine is going smoothly, the audience becomes your friend. The measure of the best comedians is the ability to pull the crowd into the routine. Although in amateur comedy , repartee with the audience is not essential, the ability to engage in intelligent dialogue with them will boost your status as an entertainer: If all this sounds terrifying and nerve-racking to you, then perhaps comedy is not your bag of tricks. But if you've got that urge to ham it up and entertain, then there is no thrill-seeking^experience as rewarding as stand-up. I was lucky when I performed at my first amateur night at the Improv. The performer before me - John from New York - was so bad, that a comedy stint from Dan Quayle would have been welcomed. Not all of my jokes were as successful as I had anticipated, but at least I was able to exit from that little corner of hell with my. integrity unscorched.

With a menu that includes both familiar Chinese dishes and wonderfully different Vietnamese food, this family-owned restaurant offers a quaint and comfortable dining atmosphere that is sure to maximize your dining enjoyment. The owners of the restaurant treat all diners as if they were houseguests. They're not afraid to get personal with the clientele and frequently stop O LLEGIATE by the tables just to engage in friendly chit chat. Before leaving, make sure you have a conversation with Willie, the "owner's husband," who is a delightful conversationalist If you like your food lively, or prefer it tame, D' Jade Vine lets you choose the spiciness ofyourown meal. Diners can request hotness by using a simple one to ten scale. For example, if you like food to blow your tastebuds to Saturn, choose OURMET a 10 in spiciness. Caution should be used, when choosing this degree of hotness, since oriental spices can make your food too scathing to enjoy. Even if you like it hot, start out with a lower degree of heat and work your way up. An excellent choice for an appetizer is the six homemade egg rolls for $2.85, which are crunchy on the outside with spices, tender vegetables and meat on the inside. You can try capturing some of the best main dishes of the orient for just $3.95 to $5.50.

If you like unique and exotic beverages, ask Willie about the restaurant's specialty fruit drinks. Particularly notable is the Cherimoya juice.

Six poets t o perform in benefit for journal LARRY B OISJOLIE /PIONEER Patrick Bergin haunts Julia Roberts in 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' Raising funds for Cal State San Marcos' first literary journal can be a culturally rewarding experience for the community and college as well. This is the approach of journal organizer Regina John, who has organized a poetry reading to raise funds fpr the infant project. John has assembled six poets that reflect both gender and cultural diversity in a reading scheduled March 17. "An important aspect of this university is furthering cultural interest," John said. Through the presentation, John said she hopes to show the community that poetry reading can be entertaining and intellectually fulfilling as well. The six artists scheduled to read their works volunteered time and talent in order to show their support for the journal. All have been published and reflect global diversity. Reading for the two-hour event will be poets Steve Kowit, A1 Zolynas, James Allen, Kari Elliot, Karen Kenyan and Diane Hill, all of which currently reside in the San Diego area. Hill has been published in several poetry anthologies including the 1985 'Seacoast Poets Anthology' and a journal entitled 'Up Against the Wall Mother.' She is a freelance writer in the San Diego area. Kenyan, an instructor at SDSU and MiraCosta College, writes both prose >and poetry and published her Sleeping with Enemy' a real snoozer Julia Roberts is on a roll. Since 'Pretty Woman' came out last year, her name has been synonymous with box office success. As the daughter who dies in 'Steel Magnolias* or a medical student playing with death in 'Flatliners,' she's had one hit after another. She's also been nominated as Best Actress in this year's Academy Awards. And now Roberts is in a new thriller called 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' In the movie, she plays Laura Burney, a woman married to an obsessive, abusing man (played by Patrick Bergin). She decides she's had enough abuse and fakes her own death. She relocates in Iowa, takes on another name and begins her life anew. Her next door neighbor (Kevin Anderson) falls for her, but she hesitates at getting involved with any man again. Eventually, he wins her trust and she tells him her story. But it's only a matter of time before her husband, Martin, figures out what Laura has done. The sus- W ENDY W ILLIAMS pense builds as he gets ever closer to finding out where she is. F rom o utcome ofthe final confrontation is predictable. There are no surprises here, which is unfortunate. The filmakers have decided to rely on tried and true characters. The only notable exception is Anderson who shines in what could have been an obscure role. Still, if you have the chance, check out a truly suspenseful 'Silence of the Lambs' instead of 'Sleeping with the Enemy.' P IONEER FILM C RITIC first book entitled 'Sunshower* in 1981. The story of her child with Down's Syndrome led her to writing. Elliot is a poet from Norway who currently teaches at National U n i v e r v sity in Vista.

Zolynas is an Austrian born poet who has travelled the world in search of a home: He teaches at USIU in San Diego, and has published a collection called 'The New Physics.' Kowit teaches at Southwestern College and has published a collect tion called, 'The Maverick Poets.' John said she received "enthusiastic" cooperation from CSUSM, particularly from Dr. Ken Mendoza of the English Department, who will emcee the event. She enlisted the help of student Tanis Brown to acquire the free use of a room at the Joslyn Center, 111 Richmar Rd. in San Marcos. Currently, the journal has received over 60 submissions, but has no resources to fund the $1,500 project. Even though admission to the reading is free, John said she hopes viewers will be inspired to give donations for the cause. The presentation will begin at 4 p.m. on March 17. There will be an . intermission in the show and refreshments can be purchased.

At the conference, held at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, students from universities across the nation will share their research projects in 18-minute oratory presentations. Traditionally, the conference was restricted to research projects of technical nature, however, this year papers from the field of humanities will also be presented. Students CynthiaChovich and Anne Radspinner were chosen by Professor Madeleine Marshall to represent CSUSM because of research papers done for her Women's Studies course last semester. "Several other students did extraordinary work as well," cited Marshall. She said that Chovich's and Radspinner's papers were selected because of their adaptability for presentation. For the conference, each paper must be transformed into an 18-minute oral presentation. After each address, the students will be questioned about the subject of the presentation. Radspinner, who wrote her paper about a quarrel between Mary Wolstencraft and Jean Jaques Rousseau, said she is nervous about presenting a literary topic to academics who have strong literary foundations. "I don't feel that I have enough literature background to get up and talk about it," she said. Chovich expressed that she too was nervous about the conference, but said she felt honored and excited about being chosen to attend it. Her paper deals with Delariviera Manley, an 18thcentury woman author who was known for her bold points of view. "(When I chose the assignment) I told Madeleine I wanted to profile a woman who was outrageous and outspoken," said Chovich. In the 1700s, Manley was jailed for her book, "The New Atlantis." She was later released after men of the time summized that a woman was incapable of writing such controversial works. Marshall said that both papers represented a pioneering spirit that students have adopted in their approaches to research papers at CSUSM. She said that students helped each other in the process of gathering information for the assignment According to Marshall, the college has given overwhelming support for the conference. She said that founding faculty member Joan Gundersen (History) and Executive Vice President Richard Rush were integral in the process of entering and attending the conference. Construction starts amid drought L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Even though construction has begun on the $14.3 million Craven Hall Building, campus officials are concerned that the current drought and budgetary problems may drown all hopes of opening the Twin Oaks Valley Rd. campus by the scheduled fall 1992 date. According to Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, all of the time buffer allotted to the project was eaten up in a 12-week construction halt, which stemmed from a dispute between former contractor Louetto Construction Inc. and grading subcontractor C.W. Poss. "If we experience any more delays," said Amado, "the college will be forced to find additional renting space for fall 1992." Amado said that since the replacement of Louetto by the San Marcos-based Lusardi Construction Co., construction has moved along at a brisk pace. According to Amado, Lusardi met its first deadline with the completion of pads for the Phase I Academic Buildings and Craven Hall. Work on the six-story centerpiece began March 4, with construction on the academic complex buildings starting on March 5. Central plant construction is scheduled to commence this summer. Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing campus construction is the 5-year-old drought which is currently plaguing California. Last Thursday, directors of the San Diego County Water Authority unanimously approved enactment of the most severe wateruse restrictions in county history. The restrictions would require that residents of S an Diego County cut water usage 50 percent during the summer. "I have not yet been advised of water shortages hurting construction," Amado said. He pointed out that the decision ofwhether or not to cut water supplies to construction projects will come directly from the County Water Authority. Mark Watton, of the CWA, speculated last Friday that, even with the series of storms heading toward San Diego, the amount of water added to the state's reserves would be minimal. He said that cutbacks would be reduced by only a few percentage points even SEE CAMPUS/PAGE 4 �N ews Briefs FEE INCREASE APPROVED In a unanimous vote by the CSU Board of Trustees last Wednesday , a proposed fee increase of 20 percent by California Governor Pete Wilson was approved. If Wilson's budget is implemented, the fee increase will take affect in fall, 1991. The budget increase would raise part-time tuition by $90 per-year and full-time tuition by $154. A ten-point plan addressing the 1991-92 CSU budget was also presented to the governor by the trustees. Due to the failure of Prop. 143 in November, the CSU system faces a shortfall in revenues totalling $90 million. GOVERNMENT SURVEY TABULATED Tabulations of a survey of how a government representing the student body should look, are now in. Of the 126 surveys received, all but 10 supported efforts to form a student governmental organization. The predominant model chosen by those who completed the questionnaire was a representative-type of government. This form of government received 68 responses of favorable manner, while the Presidential model got 26 and the Corporate/Municipal model registered 21 votes. Eight of those surveyed had no opinion. The. results indicated that the Associated Students' constitution should have an initiative process and recall provisions. Direct election was the favored form of selection of governmental representatives, with 87 positive responses. Most students said they would prefer that the head of the student government be a president rather than a chairperson of the Board or council chair. NEW SCHOLARSHIPS ANNOUNCED The CSUSM Office of Financial Aid has information and applications for the two new scholarships. Both scholarships are available for undergraduate students at CSUSM. The American Association of University Women is a $250award for female juniors or seniors who are San Diego County residents and have at least a 3.0 overall GPA. Deadline for applications is May 1,1991. The Great Western/Rancho Pefiasquitos S cholarship is for an undergraduate Business major with a 3.0 or higher GPA. The award is for $500 and the application deadline is June 3,1991. In addition to the new scholarships, the Office of Financial Aid would like to inform students that several good on-campus jobs are now available for CSUSM students that have been awarded college workstudy. NEWSPAPER STAFF TO ATTEND STATEWIDE CONFERENCE Members of the staff of Pioneer, are scheduled to attend a statewide journalism conference in Sacramento March 21,22 and 23. The conference, held by the California Intercollegiate Press Association (CIPA), will be attended by representatives from 23 university newspapers across California. At the yearly event, delegates will attend seminars and compete in on-site competitions. Previous issues of Pioneer have been sent for judging, with results to be announced during the conference. "If we receive only one award," said Larry Boisjolie, Pioneer's Editor-in Chief, "it will be a remarkable achievement." According to Boisjolie, the conference allows CSUSM students to participate in an intercollegiate event for the first time. Along with Boisjolie, Graphics Director Jonathan Young, staff writers Debbie Duffy and Elaine Whaley, and photographer Kathy Sullivan will partic pate in the conference. University, local businesses will be 'partners' in education J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER With an announcement of the implementation of a Business Partners Program at Cal State San Marcos last Tuesday, Business Administration Department officials introduced a mentor program exclusive to CSUSM. "We believe that this program is the first in America to take the integration of the University and the Business Community to such lengths," said Bernard Hinton, Dean of Business Administration. "Others have developed a number ofexcellentprograms . ...The critical difference in our program is the concept of a true partnership, a full and total involvement of members of the business community in the education of today's students and tomorrow's business managers." As a four level plan, the Business Partners Program would unify the academic and business communities. The Business Associates, Business Partners, and Senior Business Partners programs will establish a business mentorship program, with each program reflecting increasing levels of company participation. A B usiness Affiliates program will also be implementèd forfirmswhich lack the resources to participate in the higher levels of personal involvement or commitment required for the other programs. "The (overall) program calls for each College of Business Administration student to be matched with a mentor drawn from the business community," said Hinton. "The same student/mentor relationship will be maintained . .. for the duration of the Business club forming In order to facilitate the process of locating mentors to participate in the recently announced Business Partners Program, the CSUSM Business Students Association will hold its first meeting today at 6 p.m. Another meeting will be held March 20 at noon. The primary task of the BS A is to compile a pool of businesses that would be interested in participating in the Business Partners Program, a new program announced by the College of Business Administration last Tuesday. The group is being organized, under the guidance of Business Dean Bernard Hinton, to give students the opportunity to aid in the selection of candidates for the program. The Business Partners Program will be implemented in fall 1991 and requires a personal tutor for each College of Business student. CSUSM officials estimate 400-500 students will enroll in the business program that semester. Times and club leaders will be chosen at the first two meetings. student's stay at CSU, San Marcos." Hinton said the program would be beneficial for both students and businesses. "As the mentoring relationship develops, the student is expected to become involved in resolving realworld programs . ..," Hinton said. "We are confident that the Business Partners Program will allow us to forge a strong link between classroom experience and business experience. It is designed to address the needs of the business community of San Diego and North County, to provide graduates who have a practical business orientation, and to help students successfully launch their careers in the business world." The Business Mentors Program will be the first in the nation to mandate mentoring within the curriculum, rather than having it serve in an adjunctive role in the student's education. "While mentoring has been widely accepted as an especially effective way of assisting individuals in their learning process, the idea of formal business mentoring of all students is one that I believe to be unique to CS U, San Marcos," Hinton said. Hinton said this program will be in place by fall of 1991. With the expected enrollment at that time, the College of Business needs 400-500 mentors to be involved with the program. . "We are dependent upon (the media) to help us get the word out to our potential partners that we are ready, willing, and able to do our part, but they must first identify themselves," Hinton said.

In a resolution passed March 1, the CSU Academic Senateclaimed the ROTC program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orien tation is a violation of basic humanrightsand inimical to the valuesof the university, and is in violation of a non-discrimination policy for the CSU system. Therese Baker, Sociology Founding Faculty, serves as the CSU San Marcos representative to the Academic Senate. "I think the main discussion in the resolution is that the CSU does not support groups and Medication now more accessible If you have read the papers lately, or even watched some television, you may have noticed the current advertising blitz for Gyne-Lotriman. This medication for vaginal yeast infections can now be purchased over the counter since its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Monistat, another medication for vaginal yeast infections, will also be available very shortly. These are more effective than the currentover-the-countermedications and previously were only available by prescription from a physician. Both medications are considered to be very safe if one doesn't have an allergy or sensitivity to them. Both have been used for a long time and have few side effects. How these drugs will be used, however, has raised concerns in the medical community. According to the drug companies, they are supposed to be used by women who previously have been diagnosed and have recurrent vaginal yeast infections. The symptoms of the problem are fairly straightforward: a white cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge and itching. There should not be abdominal pains, fever, urinary symptoms ar skin lesions present Women who have recently been on antibiotics, who are on oral contraceptives or who are pregnant are most likely to develop yeast infections. Unfortunately, some women associate itching with a yeast infection and are likely to use the medication which could mask symptoms of more serious infections. PARTNER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 forward and let us know of their interest in joining with us." As of Friday, not even a week after the announcement, Hinton said he has already received a response. HEALTHNOTES DR. JOEL GRINOLDS In college-age women, Human Papilloris Virus (HPV), a sexuallytransmitted genital warts skin condition of the vulva, and genital herpes v iruj infection can have similar initial symptoms to a yeast infection. Because of this, weatHealth Services advise that women who have multiple sex partners and are at highrisk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases see a health-care provider for any vaginal symptoms, even if they have had a yeast infection before. Likewise, women who use the medications but don't see improvement quickly or who have had to use the medication as frequently as four times peryear,shouldconsultahealthcare provider. Perhaps the more compelling reason for students to visit Health Services is that Gyne-Lotriman will cost approximately $18 over the counter, while our prescription yeast medication will cost you $6-7 per-prescription and you can be assured of the diagnosis. Dr. Joel Grinolds is the Chief pyhsician for CSUSM and SDSU North County. programs that discriminate against students, especially on sexual orientation," Baker said. The ROTC program assists with the funding of a students' college education with the agreement that that student will join the military as an officer. The Department of Defense has apolicy prohibiting homosexuals from becoming officers in all branches of the armed forces. "ROTC brings more educated students into the military," said Baker, "as well as giving support to students who want to go into the military." The Academic Senate urged the Department of Defense to end its discriminatory policy based on sexual orientation. In a written response, the Department of Defense wrote: "Accordingly, we do not plan to reassess the Department's policy on homosexuality." New center reduces writing anxiety LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Faced with a menacing 2,500-word, across-thecurriculum writing requirement, Cal State San Marcos students are hard-pressed to deal with anxiety created by term paper assignments. To help students. in the process of writing class assignments, Dr. Ken Mendoza, professor in the English Department, has organized an on-campus writing center. The Center uses student tutors to help decipher class writing projects. "This is not a paper mill," says Mendoza. He stresses that the objective of the Center is to help students formulate their own ideas and not to write their papers. The 10 student tutors working in the Center are comprised mostly ofEnglish and Liberal Studies majors. They meet with Mendoza on a bi-weekly basis in seminars to learn tutoring concepts and methods of dealing with problems. Each tutor is required to spend a minimum of two hours per week in the Center. In return, they receive three units of class credit each. "We've had people from eight different majors use the Center so far," says Robin Keehn, student director for the Writing Center. Keehn says she has already tutored students who had difficulty approaching research papers, poetry interpretations, journalsand social-psychology papers. Even though tutors will face subject matter with which they may be unfamiliar, Keehn says tutors still can help students formulate their own ideas. "Tutors can help anyone get ideas for papers," she points out. "No writer writes within a vacuum." Tutor Elizabeth Sansom says that feedback is an important element in the paper-writing process. "I would not think about turning in a paper without getting feedback first," she says. Since its opening a month ago, the Writing Center has increased in its popularity. Keehn says that business is expanding so quickly at the Center, that students are advised to make appointments with tutors. "I had to turn away three students yesterday," Keehn said last Friday. With the second half of the spring semester starting after Easter, tutors anticipate an increase in students using the Center. Since many assigned papers are due in the final days of class, tutors expect the need for the Writing Center to increase. Keehn stresses that students should utilize the facilities at the Center in order for the program to continue its operation. "Our hope is that we will prove the worthiness of this project," cites Keehn. "If we want to make our program live, we need students." Student tutor Roy Latas says that professors he has informed about the Writing Center have expressed enthusiasm in the concept and have openly encouraged students to take advantage of the opportunities afforded by i t Keehn says the Center will help students at any stage of the paper-writing process. From die "germ of an idea" to the final product, students need help in approaching problems, says Keehn. "I guarantee that if anyone brings a paper in here, the writing will improve."

Hinton said a formal announcement revealing participating business partners would be made in the near future. that, even then, it might not be of usable quality. With the series of storms expected to hit San Diego in the next week, Amado said he is also concerned about construction delays that might be incurred with rains. Another problem facing the budding campus is the lack of available funding from the state. With the failure of Proposition 143 last November, money, that would have gone into furnishing the new buildings, suddenly became unavailable. "The state is currently experiencing major financial difficulties," said Amado. " It's difficult to acquire any type of additional funding." Funding has already been approved for all of Phase I, but Amado said the rate at which Phase II will begin is dependent upon another source of income. �TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1991/PIONEER 5 S PRING P ERM S PECIALS HAIR DEPOT & TAN's Custom Perms, Specialty Wraps, Spirals, Piggybacks, All Perms Call for a FREE consultation with one of our professional stylists!

The Academic Senate claims the basis for such a suggestion stems from the ROTC's refusal to accept homosexuals into its organization. Because of the organization's bias, the Academic Senate feels it necessary to deprive low-income citizens—who have no prayer of raising funding for education save through the programs ROTC offers — of higher education. Once again the overly liberal academic community contradicts its own goals through its actions. The Academic Senate seems more concerned with making a liberal statement than it does with the advancement of education to as many people as possible. Themilitary'spolicyofnotacceptinghomosexualsamongits ranks is a valid age-old policy that is reflective of the moral integrity that our armed forces are supposed to represent Those that serve in the American military should be spotless examples of perceived social morality. Whether we like it or not, the military is an elite, sexually segregated club that has proven its ability to run efficiently without the opinions of the academic community. Whether we like it or not, it should remain as such. Its members should be constructed of the highest moral fiber attainable in America. Even though this goal will never be fully met, it can be pushed along towardfruitionwith the policy of antihomosexuality. Issues of sexuality have no place on the battlefield. If the American military starts accepting homosexuals what will be next? Coed bunkers? Perhaps a battalion of those who practice bestiality will arise. Even with this age of sexual enlightenment and tolerance, homosexuality is still considered socially aberrant behavior. For thisreasonwe will never have a gay President nor should we have a gay militia. The reason homosexuality becomes a public issue for discrimination is that liberal organizations, like the Academic O U R V IEWS ••••^HaHHBHHHaHHHBHi STAFF EDITORIAL Senate, make it one. S exual p reference should remain private b usiness not to be shared with the world at large. For those who cry about discrimination heaped upon toem because of their sexuality, we can only say, "You should have kept it to yourself and your partner. We didn't care to know about your sex life in the first place." With its shunning of ROTC, the Academic Senate is drawing attention to an issue that few of us, save the vocal out-of-thecloset homosexuals care about. As a result of its action, those who joined ROTC to afford a quality education will be deprived. Why should the military discriminate against a private activity like homosexuality you may ask? The answer is simple. On the battlefield private lives temporarily cease to exist. All personal problems and abnormalities are shared with the guy in the trench next door. Imagine how comfortable a guy in a tank would feel when confined with a raging queen. The last thing his uncomfortable mind will want to do is fight the enemy. We at Pioneer are by no means homophobic, rather we would like to stress the point that individuals with contempt for homosexuals do exist Judging from the very goal of the military, it is probably safe to say that more than one homophobe exists in the armed services. The last thing our military needs is internal conflicts between heterosexuals and gays. So what is the Academic Senate really doing by condemning the ROTC's age-old policy? They are simply trying to gain some liberal ground that is currently slipping with the rise in the conservative military's popularity. That's a pretty sad reason for excluding the needy from education. Imagine a country so buried in its own garbage it pays poor countries to take the waste off its own hands. Or a country that actually considers sending its trash into space. Or a country with barges piled high with trash and nowhere to go. As we approach the 21 st anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, there is no need to imagine such a country; it is America. It is time to realize that, as consumers, we are being used in a game for profit in which we profit nothing. The $85 billiona-year plastics indusSTUDENT FORUM try has sold us the idea that plastic is the perfect packaging; it is convenient, non-1 breakable, squeezable and disposable. What do plastic manufacturers mean by disposable? Although the plastics industry makes huge profits, the responsibility for disposal is ours, not theirs. And the fact that unnecessary plastic packaging will not decompose for at least 400 years is alarming indeed. Consider this: we throw away 2.5 million plastic bottles, 2.25 million disposable diapers, and 250,000 plastic pens every hour! While the numbers themselves are staggering, when coupled with the reality that these products will remain in the environment longer than our cars, our homes, our children,t)ur grandchildren and their grandchildren, we realize the plastic industry's definition of "disposable" is not ours. Once plastic refuse enters the environment it is not stagnant; rather it is an active threat, killing one to two million seabirds and 100,000 marine mammals every year. These innocent victims unknowingly ingest or become entangled in our disposable plastics. According to David Laist of the Marine Mammal Commission in Washington D.C., "Plastics may be as great a source of mortality among marine mammals as oil spills, heavy metals or toxic materials." While this plastic threat can float in our oceans or waterways for a long time, it also washes up on our beaches, causing an enormous litter problem. On a typical day at Beacon's Beach in Leucadia, I found: plastic milk bottles, soda bottles, six-pack holders, tampon applicators, shampoo, mustard and catsup bottles, a bandage box, suntan lotion, motor oil and brake fluid bottles, razors, diapers, fast food plates and cups, etc., etc. Now we must realize that the production of this refuse is dangerous. TheEnvironmentalProtection Agency has a list of 20 chemicals, the production of which creates the greatest amount of hazardous waste, and five of the top six are chemicals used most often by the plastics industry. The production of plastic generates hazardous waste, emits toxic chemicals into the air, while also polluting our water. Plastics are also dangerous to incinerate because of the toxic fumes emitted.

It pays no attention to criticism." N .DEKALB K UWANIS B EACON With war in the Middle East waning (for now), the national consciousness has returned to domestic issues. Among these issues, deterioration in world market competitiveness has American economists and politicians looking toward Japan, and its economic strategy, as a possible panacea to emulate for the nation's economic affliction. This elixir has unhealthy side-effects and will only put the American economy into a coma by widening the fissure between the rich; who are increasing in political power, and the middle-class; who, for the first time in US history, have a lower standard of living than their parents and are joining the ranks of the poor; who are increasingly growing in quantity and decreasing in political status as evidenced, for example, by funding cuts in medical care. Japan's industrial targeting, through such bodies as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), has set up a dichotomy of winners and losers. Import barriers, such as on rice, force Japanese consumers to pay more for the grain and gives farmers there an inflated p rofit Itiscommonfora Japanese urban middleclass family to live in an apartment of less than 1,000 square feet, pay more for food and other goods than their American counterparts, and deal with a bureaucracy that forces them to buy a new car every two or three years. Does the American public need this kind of big-brother government intrusion into its daily lives? Additionally, M i l l ' s development policies have often been wrong. In the early 1950s MITI opposed Sony's attempt to go into transistorized goods, citing that the U.S. had cornered this VIEWS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 of plastics produced are recycled because, according to Solana Recyclers, the only market for recycled plastic is beverage bottles. Because of the mounting concerns of consumers over the hazards of plastic waste, the industry is trying to sell us their solution in the form of "biodegradable" plastic. This may indeed pose a new problem. Because the same chemicals are used in the production of "biodegradables," the hazards of manufacturing and incineration remain the same. "Biodegradable" plastics can take months to break down, allowing plenty of time to suffocate or entangle wildlife and marine mammals. Smaller pieces are also easier for animals to ingest. What is most frightening, is the health hazards they may create when broken down. This concerns the EPA because, when plastics disintegrate into smaller pieces, there is more surface area exposed from which heavy-metal pigments and other toxics could leach out into the soil. Allen Hershkowitz, a solid waste expert with the Natural Resources Defense Council, has yet another worry. "These little pieces of plastic, which are laced with heavy metals, are small enough to be market. In the 1970s MITI opposed Honda's attempt to venture into automobiles. Do we need, in the United States, a governmental agency telling us, for example, that towns such as Milwaukee, St. Louis and Golden, Colorado should abandon beer production because the Germans have a monopoly on the frothy brew? What the U.S. needs is both capital-intensive, as well as knowledge-intensive, industries if it is to b e a world-market leader. Support for high technology does not mean we intend to write-off heavy industry. What it does mean is that the United States should be the world leader in high technology and therefore command an advantage in international trade. We saw in the war against Iraq how handsome the dividend is when we invest in high technology. We will never produce all the steel we need, but we cannot afford to be without a capacity to produce steel, if for no other reason than strategic defense; at the same time it would be unwise to invest in steel given the nature of external competition. Proponents of the Reagan/Bush economic doctrine contend that by stimulating the economy through tax-breaks for industry, the consumer benefits by virtue of the trickle-down effect. Their mantra-like dogma, they preach, will stimulate the economy through tax reductions for business. This will, in turn, fnotivate growth in industry, giving the group more capital to spend, and with this growth in capital spending comes the need for more workers. More people with jobs means more spending on goods and services which increases demand, and with an increase in demand there will be a need to increase supply which brings more growth in industry. What the consumer may lose initially is made up for ultimately with a decrease in unemployment and more money in his pocket to spend. What the proponents forget is that industry, like Machiavelli's prince, only sows the economic seeds of growth only as much as the amount of money to be reaped. Special-interest groups continue to place pressure on Congress to pass legislation that will favor them; what this means for the rest of us, is less being spent on education, police and fire protection, and other public services, and more money being taken out of our pay checks in order to cover the decrease in assets resulting from tax breaks for those in targeted industries. The Japanese government has shown that large amounts of public funds, along with larger amounts of bureaucrats, are unnecessary for an effective industrial policy. What makes industrial policy work is the competence of those in charge, therigorof the analysis they apply, plus realistic expectations of the market and a philosophy that transcends the American "what can I do to survive this financial quarter" mindset and looks instead at long-term goals. Industrial targeting places a false emphasis on goods that consumers may not want; this means that industrial capacity is sacrificed. In short, all the manure in the world doesn't help the grass grow if the trickle of trickle-down economics wrings the middle-class dry. breathed through the nose and mouth into the lungs," he said. So what can we do to halt this threat to our health and our environment? First, we must stop our cycle of consumption without conscience, and realize the choices we make affect much more than ourselves. We must consider the permanence of the products we choose, while re-using these products as many times as possible. For instance, although a disposable diaper can only be used once, a cloth diaper can be reused hundreds of times. This ' use it once and throw it out' attitude must be stopped. Every time we grocery shop we are asked, "Paper or plastic?" Although the best answer is to bring your own reusable canvas or mesh bag, the second best solution is to choose paper and use it the next time you shop. Some supermarkets even pay when you bring back your bag to be refilled. Before we make a purchase we should consider whether the packaging can be recycled. Because there are many products we cannot buy in recyclable packaging, we must join others in pressing our state and local governments to consider a comprehensive measure to limit or ban the use of non-recyclable plastic packaging, while as individuals we must follow through in our actions by recycling everything we can. Mandatory recycling may also be necessary because, although we have curbside recycling in our communities, only 50 percent of the homes participate. Recycling is everybody's responsibility; therefore we must educate and encourage our families, friends, and neighbors to recycle with 100 percent participation as our goal. Although it may seem we have far to go in the eradication of plastic packaging, let us not lose sight of the tremendous impact the actions of an individual can have. For, if we are to make a change before the next anniversary of Earth Day, it will take individuals like you and me, taking small steps toward a better world. It is only through the collection of many small steps that any great distance can be travelled. SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor.

At night it is often circled and illuminated by headlights. An additional 18,000 acres of land is being acquired to the OHV area and will soon be open to recreational use. More information about the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area can be obtained by calling 767-5391. The Anza-Borrego Desert is also home to several natural, unpaved hiking trails. The Park Rangers caution hikers of cacti and rattlesnakes and recommend carrying plenty of water. One of the most used trails in the park is the Borrego Palm Canyon N ature Trail. This trail starts at the top of the Borrego Palm Canyon Campground an leads to a native palm grove and a year-round stream. There is a slightly longer alternative route which returns hikers via a hillside with some different plants and a good view of the Borrego Valley. This is a 1.5mile trail.

Using the lens as apaintbrush, he meticulously reflected the natural world around him. With a camera Adams was truly one with nature. Because his works teemed with spontaneity and beauty, however, Adams' view of the civilized world seemed cold and contrived. Because of this, Adams' two photographic displays now showing at UCSD clash with each other; one is a perfect example of the technology at the UC campuses, and the other clearly depicts nature in its truest form. Adams was commissioned by the then UC president in 1963 to take vast amounts of pictures of the University's campuses in California. A sample of these photographs is on display in, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,' which means, "Let there be l ight" Every photograph seems to contain either huge, white, stark buildings, portraits or agriculture. None of the "familiar" Adams photographs are even alluded to in this display. One portrait in particular, is a perfect example of the stiffness and separateness that seems to permeate these commissioned photographs. This photograph is named, 'Tony Delap, Instructor, Art Department, 1967. UCI.' In the picture, Delap is seen posing and holding his glasses in his hand as if he is ready to speak. On his face is a pensive, yet knowing mood. In front of Delap is a table filled with geometric shapes, and in back of him there is an array of amateurish art pictures. This portrait is posed, rigid and totally without imagination or creativity. The only photographs worth seeing in the 'Fiat Lux' display are the desert research prints and the agricultural center prints. Otherwise, do not even bother viewing this portion of the exhibit. The second display, 'The Museum Set,' which represents photographs Adams took in 1979, is well worth the trip to the Art Gallery. In this display, Adams creates masterpieces out of the nature he views through his camera.

As the viewer approaches the second display, a large portrait of Adams and his camera dominates the wall. Adams is within every single photograph of this display. In 'The Museum Set,' a compelling portrait is, 'Spanish American Woman Near Chimayo, New Mexico. 1937.' This portrait features an older woman. Her face is her life's story. With a small smile, she calmly looks off into the distance. Shrouded in a black veil, her face, with all its tell-tale wrinkles, is encircled and almost protected from the world. Behind her is a bleached, worp, wooden column, which is a reflection of the woman's solid, aged face. Another of Adams' photographs within this display is named, 'Oak Tree. Snowstorm. Yosemite National Park, Ca. 1948.' Standing majestically and powerfully in the middle of the photograph is a solid oak tree, with its branches energetically reaching for the sky. Delicately resting upon the branches of the oak is peaceful snow. Behind this great oak is a small forest, but no tree is as powerful as the oak. This entire photograph gives one the feeling of solitude and peace, and "Evening Clouds and Pool, East Side of the Sierra Nevada, from Owens Valley, California, c. 1962" is traveling with a series of Ansel Adams' photos entrusted with the Pacific Telesis Group. looks as if walking into it would be like walking into heaven. Viewing Adams' photographs is both calming and stimulating at the same time. If you have never seen his works, it is worth driving to the UCSD campus to view this wonderful man's prints. However, skip the technological display, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux,* and go directly into the second display, 'The Museum Set.' There are some superb photographs within the second display, and Adams is at his best in these photographs. These two collections will be on display at the Mandeville Gallery on the UCSD campus through April 7. . 'Fiat Lux' collection on UC tour For two decades, 605 signed Ansel Adams photographs of the campuses andresearch centers of the University of California lay sequestered in a University of California archive, virtually forgotten until last year. After they were once again brought to life, 100 of these never-beforeexhibited prints were curated for a traveling exhibition called, 'Ansel Adams: Fiat Lux.' The prints will be shown with selections from a companion exhibitentitled, 'Ansel Adams: The Museum Set,' through April 7, in the Mandeville Gallery of the University of California, San Diego. 'The Museum Set' is a collection of photographs owned by Pacific Telesis Group. Adams created this collection to represent the scope of his l ife's work. He produced only a limited number in this series before his death in 1984. PacTel acquired this set in 1984. The origin of the 'Fiat Lux' set occurred in 1963, when UC president Clark Kerr commissioned Adams to take extensive photographs of the UC campuses for a book that would commemorate the university's 100th anniversary in 1968. The photographs were taken at the University of California's nine campuses, natural reserve systems, research stations and agricultural units during a four-year span. Adams exposed more than 6,000 negatives for the 'Fiat Lux' project. From those, he selected the images to be produced as signed fine prints. The project was to be called 'Fiat Lux,' which is the UC system's Latin motto meaning "Let There Be Light." In conjunction with the publication of the book, Kerr had planned a series of public and private events for the centennial, but the tumultuous political situation at the Berkeley campus, where the UC president's office was located, caused the occasion to pass with little notice. As a result, Adams' works were placed iw'j tnoa gjgW SEE ADAMS/PAGE 13 I JitU *Jf »>'•?•>«»•••..»>if �'NIGHTBREED' A BARKER, BUT Darkman' sheds light on old theme A lot of men think that women have no taste in movies. They are gobbled up in the misconception that the only movies women like are the mushy, gooey romantic flicks. Not me. Whenever I pop into the local Blockbuster Video to make a selection, I put a gag on my date and commence with the choosing. Most of the time my dates find that I can last through a tape that grosses out even the machoest of guys. But queasiness does not a good movie make. I do have a sense for quality control too. Whereas guy s usually pick movies like 'Psycho Freaks From Hell* or 'Amazon Women of Venus,' I go for more first-rate flicks like T h e Exorcist* or 'Poltergeist.' Unfortunately, even I screw up once in a while. On a recent excursion to the video store, I was lured into picking up the worst movie of 1990; a Clive Barker horrible mess known as 'Nightbreed.' If not for my other movie, Sam Raimi's 'Darkman,' the evening would have been a complete waste. The worst t hing a bout 'Nightbreed,' is that it was allowed to reproduce on video cassette. Before the movie begins, author-director Clive Barker primes viewers with a talk of how his movie "breaks the conventions" of the horror genre. It sure does. By combiningpoor acting, a Swisscheesy script and laughable special effects, Barker gives horror-flick conventions the finger. In the movie, Barker creates a ADAMS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 into the archives in the Bancroft Library, UC Berkeley. The sequestered photographs were tracked down only after James Harrod, manager of the UC Irvine Bookstore, became curious about the use of several Adams' prints for a 1986 UC publication. After he had located the photographs at the Bancroft Library, Harrod chaired a committee which then selected 100 prints for an exhibition for the UC systems. The 'Fiat L ux' collection had its inaugural exhibition at the University of California, Irvine, in January. Over the next 16 months the two collections will travel to several UC campuses and to the Oakland Museum. The exhibition and its tour was V IDEO R EWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE mythical world known as Midian, where stupid-looking monsters live in peace to escape the evil humans. The movie's hero is Boone, played by Craig Sheffer (from another turkey 'That Was Then, This Is Now') who is convinced by the evil Dr. Decker, David Cronenberg, that he is a crazed serial killer. I c an't believe that Cronenberg, who directed such horror classics as ' Scanners,' ' Videodrome,' ' Dead Ringers' and 'The Fly,' could act so badly. Working, in the past, with such polished performers as Jeff Goldblum and Jeremy Irons, you'd think he could have picked up acoupleof acting tips. S heffer's love interest, played by Anne Bobby ( 'Bom on the Fourth of July'), is a slam in the face to womenkind. Here is a chick that makes more stupid moves than Saddam Hussein. Women like this in movies went out of fashion when movies with sound hit the m arket All o? this might have been excusable if one or two juicy special effects were used to spice the film .up. Unfortunately, the creatures on screen were about as realistic and clever as my little b rother's plastic Halloween costume.

It might not be the most believable film ever made, but it is one of the most fun. Dr. Peyton Westlake, played by Irish actor Liam Neeson ('Suspect'), is just about to discover a new synthetic skin. He can get the skin formula to last for only an hour and a monster verse bad people is corny and overused. Yet, Barker has the audacity to tell the audience how clever he is being. I saw better dialogue in the 1964 Japanese classic, 'Voyage Into Space.' If yourent'Nightbreed,' don'tturn out the lights . .. you'll fall asleep. In honor of its creator, I can honestly say this film is a true Barker! v half, but on the verge of a breakthrough, his laboratory is obliterated by a bunch of thugs led by Larry Drake (Benny from 'L.A. L aw'). Left for dead, Westlake is found in ariverand brought to a medical center where doctors, (thinking they are dealing with just an ordinary John Doe) play around with his nervous system. The result is a man who can feel no pain and has an uncontrollable temper. So what we now have is a guy who c an't be hurt, is mad as hell and has a recipe for synthetic skin that lasts about 90 minutes. Putting on the faces of the villains, Westlake gets his vengeance with superheroic style. Neeson plays his role with nice understated charm. I would have liked to have seen more of him in the movie, but Raimi kept his actor's exposure to a minimum to add mystery. Neeson's Westlake is a cross between 'The Phantom of the .Opera' and 'Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.' He builds great empathy for this tragic hero. Westlake's principle love interest, p layed by F rances M cDormand ('Mississippi Burning') is the kind of woman I like to see in movies. In the character of Julie, she is independent and compassionate, without being s marmy. U nlike t he b imbo in 'Nightbreed,' this woman is a class a ct Director Sam Raimi made some of his great movie magic, that he demonstrated in 'The Evil Dead II,' reappear in his comic book story. The effects are pretty cool with explosions and melting skin galor. As a superhero movie, 'Darkman' kicks the tights off 'Batman' because it concentrates more on the action than the dark undercurrents of the p lot It is a movie that really sheds some light on a old superhero theme. f— C O U P O N — Pancho's Mexican Cuisine O L D C ALIFORNIA R ESTAURANT R O W 1 020 S an M arcos B lvd., # 104 $ a n M arcos, C A 9 2069 (619) 4 71-7595 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER ENTREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER DINNER ENTREE OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.

O PINION/PAGE11 Paper vaulted to top t hree position in s tate SACRAMENTO - It was a weekend for underdogs when Cal State San Marcos' student newspaper, Pioneer, grabbed seven awards last weekend at the California InterCollegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. The event marks the first time a delegation . of students from CSUSM has won awards in inter-collegiate competition. "We were stunned," said Pioneer Editorin-Chief Larry Boisjolie. "We really didn't expect to do that well." CIPA S tudent President TrishaReader said Pioneer's performance vaults the newspaper into one of the toplhree university weeklies in the state. Reader said over 2,000 entries were received from the various college publications in California. Boisjolie was one of five CSUSM delegates to attend the conference which hosted 23 universities, about 300 students from California and Nevada. Competitions and seminars were held for the print media, radio and television broadcasters. Competitions at the conference were divided into two categories. For the mail-in category, ubmissions were mailed in to CIPA three months before the conference f orjudging by experts in the field. Each newspaper was allowed two entries for each category, which gauged both written and artistic aspects of college newspapers. "Since we only had eight issues at the time KATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER Pioneer co-founders, Larry Boisjolie and Jonathan Young, anxiously await the announcement of awards during the California Inter-Collegiate Press Association's 42nd annual statewide conference. of submission, we felt our chances were pretty slim of finding enough good material to compete with schools that have published all year," said Boisjolie. "We were also under the impression that only one entry per category could be submitted so we only sent in half of what the other colleges did." Pioneer picked up first place for best opinion section in the mail-in competition. Jonathan Young, co-founder of the newspaper, placed first in the overall design category and second in front page design. Boisjolie won second in the investigative news and editorial categories. The other category of competition is onthe-spot writing and designing. Participants are given a limited amount of time to write a story, edit copy, take photographs or design a front page. In the on-the-spot competitions, Young was awarded first place in page design while Debbie Duffy picked up a third place award for entertainment writing. Duffy was given one hour to write a critical review on an art gallery. Staff members Kathy Sullivan and Elaine Whaley also attended the conference. At the close of the conference, CSUSM was asked by Reader to host the statewide conference next year. CSUSM President Bill Stacy expressed interest in the proposal, however, Boisjolie said that the main factor deciding whether or not CSUSM will host the conference is finding space to accommodate the event's attenders.

College seeks candidates for first student council Cal State San Marcos' Student Governance Task Force is now looking for candidates wishing to form the university's first Associated Student Council. Ernest Zomalt, Dean of Student Services, said the council will comprised of a President, two representatives from each College, four undergraduates at-large and two post-baccalaureates at-large. These positions will form a representative model of government, established by the Task Force's AS Constitution. "We have an interesting government model," said Z omalt "It allows for one elected leader: President." The President's powers include being senior representative of the AS, presiding over AS Council meetings and recommending the appointment of all students to AS and university committees. The President does not vote, except to break a tie. The AS Council is charged with setting policies and procedures for the AS and obtaining and disseminating information which affects the AS and its members. Representatives from the specific colleges will be easier to obtain," he said. "The at-large students will be a little bit of a challenge." Elections Committee forming While seeking candidates to establish the first Associated Council at Cal State San Marcos, Student Services Dean Ernest Zomalt and the Student Governance Task Force are also establishing an Elections Committee. This group will set standards for campaigning, hold candidate forums, organize the election and be accountable for the tabulating the results. Zomalt also explained the committee will work with the three fee measures for the election. They will read the measures and make sure they are understandable. The Elections Committee will also tabulate the results of the Student Government Elections April 22-23. They will then forward to results to CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Once confirmed, the AS Council will take office the first Monday in June and establish CSUSM's first student government. Any student interested serving on this council should contact the Student Services office. According to Zomalt, the AS C onstitution's r equirements f or CSUSM'selected officers specify that a candidate be a "Member of the associated students and in good academic standing at the time of election and during tenure in office." Candidates can receive information regarding candidacy from the Student Services Office. Once candidates are acknowledged, Zomalt said the university will hold a candidate's forum before the elections on April 22-23. Originally scheduled for April 15-16, the elections have been postponed one week. SEE VOTE/PAGE 4 H ewlett-Packard f irst t o c ommit t o Senior Business P artners Program Hewlett-Packard has committed to become the first Senior Business Partner for CSU, San Marcos' new business outreach program. "The College of B usiness Administration is delighted to announce the decision of Hewlett-Packard to become our first Senior Business Partner," said Dean Bernard Hinton. "It is a great vote of confidence for our new Business Partners Program to see the community respond in the way that Hewlett-Packard has." The Senior Business Partners are the most advanced level of the fourlevel Business Partners Program recently introduced by the College of Business Administration. The program was design to forge a strong link between the university and the business community and to offer both individuals and organizations the opportunity to have a substantial impact upon the education of tomorrow's business leaders. "By stepping forward as the first participant in this program," Hinton said, "Hewlett-Packard has made a strong statement about their support for our efforts to provide a relevant educational experience for our students. "Their commitment, in becoming our partner in the educational process, not only encourages us, but also encourages other individuals and businesses to become involved as well." Hinton also announced that Larry Brown, General Manager of H P's San Diego Color Imaging Division, has been invited to become the first member of the College of Business Administration's Dean's Advisory Council. "Hewlett-Packard is pleased to support the CSU San Marcos Business Partners Program," Brown said. "In keeping with our corporate citizen objective, HP encourages its operations and employees to contribute their time, talent and financial support to organizations that benefit the communities win which we operate. We look forward to a productive partnership with CSUSM." "We look forward with great expectations to a very close working relationship with companies such as Hewlett-Packard and are delighted at their sense of corporate responsibility and willingness to work with us in accomplishing the mission of the college," Hinton said. The Business Mentors Program, which assigns each student in the College to a personal business mentor, in only one of the programs in the Business Partners Program. Other portions of the Business Partners Program include programs designed f or individual businessmen, small companies, and corporations. The university has indicated that it is prepared to send materials to anyone in the business community that is interested in learning more about the programs. �Exercising important for healthy diet plan What Tommy LaSorta and the makers of Slim-Fast, among many other makers of weight control products, forget to tell you in their ads is that you have to exercise to achieve safe and lasting weight loss.

SAN MARCOS BLVD., SAN MARCOS �6 PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 NEWS I W E ART T HE CSUSM spurs largest development plan J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER any students attending the other 19 Cal State University campuses haven't heard of the new addition to their academic system. Even some local students and residents in San Marcos don't know of the new university here. But for the people who work for the city, Cal State San Marcos has been a main focal point for the community's future development and growth. The university has spurred a project entitled, 'Heart of the City,' an elaborate downtown plan revolving around the future college campus. "Thegenesisofthisprojectevolved before the CSU Trustees chose San Marcos," said Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager. "The city made a conscious decision to go after Cal State San Marcos." Malone explained the city's strong desire to house the future educational institution, competing with neighboring Carlsbad for the state's attention. "We put together a package deal that the state couldn' t refuse," Malone said. The main anchor of the project came with the city's agreement to allow CSU officials to get directly involved with the design and organization of the p roject "The state had a huge say on land choices," Malone said. He said the site Carlsbad was offering was in a valley, an area hard to develop. San Marcos, in comparison, offered a large, open, fertile piece of land. CSU chose the Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham Drive site, just off Highway 78, to corner the university. The site has freeway visibility, is centrally located in North County so San Diego and Orange County/Riverside residents have easy access along with local students, and is in the geographic center of San Marcos and North San Diego County. "San Marcos doesn't have a downtown," Malone said. "With 'Heart of the City,' we hope to create a central focus for the city with the university as the anchor of the p roject" With the surrounding zoning, Malone said the master plan would give travelers a certain feel for the area. " We'll establish a sense of place along highway 78," he said. " You're really going to know something is there." As the p roject continues, San Marcos routes all designs and plans through the university f or review. Conversely,CSUSM informs the city on all its construction matters. T he •Heart of the City' area encompass nearly 1,600 acres, less than half the acreage of the CSUSM permanent campus. With the university standing in the center, the boundaries go slightly past FIRST I N A SERIES the campus to the south and extend to San Marcos Boulevard on the opposite side of Highway 78 to the North. The zoning extends East to already developed commercial and residential sites and West to Discovery Street Two main developments accent the 'Heart of the City' project. A University Center will directly neighbor the college and a Civic Center, housing the c ity's government, will mirror the university on the opposite side of the freeway. "The Civic Center will have a vertical compliment to the university," Malone said, in reference to CSUSM's clock tower. SEE HEART/PAGE 7 �H eart V itals I The University The State of California has started a full-service university-level educational facility. Initial planning is for a two-year, upper-division and post-graduate studies facility transitioning to a full four-year campus. The campus master plan provides for the eventual development of a 35,000 student campus. Twin Oaks Valley work begins J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER The Civic Center The Civic Center will be a civic and cultural complex which will include: City Hall, conference center, cultural facilities, recreation center, commercial offices, a hotel, park and open space incorporating a major water feature. The City Hall complex design will give special consideration to the creation of a vertical focal point with high visibility from the freeway, to compliment the large clock tower at Cal State San MarcoS. The Business Park The business park will comprise of high tech/industrial/office parks in a master planned setting. Support commercial uses, such as hotels and health spas, would also be included. Land use within this designation shall be conducive to high quality uses. No driverthru facilities will be allowed. The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation is the apparent low bidder in the $10 million construction project to widen Twin Oaks Valley Road and Barham drive to accommodate the future site of Cal State San Marcos. With a budget of $ 10.2 million, the city of San Marcos received the Vadnais bid of $7,370,403, the lowest out of nine interested companies. "We are happy," said Bob Rager, an estimator with the Solana Beach company. "Our company has worked with the city of San Marcos before.

The center will also include a Library, City Hall, Community Center, a theater and possibly retail offices, a hotel and housing. "If we lease some of this area to businesses, then it will pay for itself in the long run," Malone said. Koll Construction of San Marcos has won the city's approval to design this center. Out of several different companies, Koll submitted the best conceptual drawing for the center. The rendering included two plaza areas, one within a shopping district and the other among the governmental buildings. Koll is now working with that concept and with the city to design the final Town Center complex. The University Center, although not detailed in its design or arrangement at this time, will include a variety of different businesses. A San Marcos Chamber of Commerce flyer states: "The Corporate Park will allow research and development and light industrial uses as well as corporate headquarters complexes and potential hotel developments." Malone foresees most of the businesses being "Neighborhood Commercial," a term to describe companies that serve the everyday needs of an on-campus student Land has been reserved for two hotels, one in the Civic Center, and a site for Kaiser Permanente Hospital. These sites are considered''floating," not yet confirmed in location. This is just one j ob we wanted." The project will widen Twin Oaks Valley Road from Highway 78 to Barham Drive to eight lanes, where it will continue as a six lane road. Barham Drive, also planned for six lanes, will only be built as a five lane road at this point in the project's development The city still needs furtherrightof way to continue the expansion. Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager, said the project will also include completion of the first 13-14 feet of the 50-foot-wide sidewalk. "Futuredevelopers will be required to install the second part of the walkway," Malone said. ' The specifics of that are written out for each parcel." Before Vadnais can be approved for the project, bonding must be approved and documents will be checked for mathematical and clerical errors. If the bid is not approved, it will be offered to the second lowest bidder, Cass Construction. Construction is expected to begin in May. "We' 11 work as quickly as we can," Malone said. "We'll definitely be done before the university is open." Scripps Memorial Hospital is planning to begin construction soon on a facility just on the west border of the 'Heart of the City' project at Discovery and San Marcos Blvd. A specific area of land, east of CSUSM, has also been reserved for an elementary school. A second school site is floating south-west of the university. making them visible from the freeway. "It'll be unrecognizable," Malone said, "design wise."

W E C ANT HOLD ferl BACK FOREVflU Future campus will be late, but final product worth wait As CSUSM has discovered, the need for a university in such a high-growth area is tremendous. Already the university has changed its plans for a student population in excess of 30,000 when the STAFF EDITORIAL campus is completed decades from now. Originally, the university expected a population of 25,000. In short, San Marcos got the project because of good planning. One needs only to take a look at other nearby universities to see what poor planning can do. San Diego State, for instance, is an architectural goulash that cannot nearly accommodate its rising population. The buildings are more a source of student stacking than community pride. At the University of California at San Diego there is no sense at all of a college community. Inside its vast acreage of buildings is an architecturally nice microcosm that does not in any way blend in with its surroundings. The college looks like an island amid an indifferent community. Even though many of the students now attending CSUSM won't be around to attend the finished campus, they can all More importantly, the campus and the City of San Marcos are look back at their alma mater with pride. In 1992 when the campus doesn't appear, the best advice prepared to accommodate the massive population that is expected in the future. According to last year's census, San Marcos is the fastest is to lug your books to your shopping center campus with the growing city_injhe county^ _ _„ __ ."'„'„, knowledge that the best is yet to come. In the wake of recent storms, drought problems and contractor disputes, Cal State San Marcos officials are hard-pressed to finish construction on their $650-700 million showcase campus by its fall 1992 scheduled openingxlate. Unfortunately, in the world of construction nothing ever goes as planned. Even though Campus Construction and Physical Planning still remains hopeful that the new university can be ready on time, they must seriously face the fact that space will be desperately needed to accommodate the anticipated flow of students to CSUSM when the campus doesn't magically appear. But future students need not despair. One glance at the plans of the future university and the college community concept of the4Heart of the City* project and it is evident that here is one good thing worth waiting for. Nowhere in the CSU system, the UC system or any other university system in this nation can be found such a remarkable symbiotic relationship as that which CSUSM and San Marcos share. When both the new campus and the 'Heart of the City' projects are completed, San Marcos will be magically transformed into a walkthrough Mediterranean village. If the plans are followed through and the project is not rushed, the result will be a showcase campus community. The whole concept can, in part, be credited to the city of San Marcos, which at great expense, put forth a plan that the college couldn't refuse. They offered to widen roads to eight lanes and construct a major community center which reflects the style of the campus. OUR VIEWS P IONEER /TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991 Republicans lack insight into key domestic issues As a culture and a nation of people, Americans are known for their impatience with problem solving. That is one good reason, for instance, why the Gulf War' s success was greeted with euphoria. A protracted conflict, while plausible, would have paid far less political dividends to the Republicans. This fact, coupled with the Democrats' apparent impotence at finding a viable leadership figure, poises the GOP for enormous domination during the next decade of public policy making. Only history will judge the prudence of a Republican-forged agenda that will inevitably usher in the next century. In other words, a window of oppor- DAVID HAMMOND tunity this deep and wide—literPIONEER COLUMNIST ally a time to dictate the nation's long-term goals—can end up tragically neglected if harnessed to short-term planning. Particularly in areas of domestic policy, the standard Republican party reliance on market forces has proven to be as void of sophistication as the liberal Democratic allegiance to the Great Society mythology. As far back as Eisenhower's reluctance to endorse school desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas, and extending to the veto of the Civil Rights Act of 1990, the GOP's proactivity in championing the poor has been sheer inactivity. President Bush has even stated his preference for foreign affairs. This attitude is to be expected: foreign policy permits quick, noble, dramatic scenes, like the eviction of Iraq from Kuwait. Domestic problems, on the other hand, offer no euphoric conclusions, have less direct impact on the wealthy, and tend to be unresponsive to short-term solutions. Hence, the GOP is hardly concerned with forging better domestic policy when the bird of political dominance is well in hand anyway. As stated, the bad news for the country will be evident a decade or so from now, when we are paying, more than ever, for the lack of domestic problem solving. The detriments will be widespread across all the areas of Republican indifference: the environment, education, health care, and race relations. Sadly, seizing this moment, and making great history, are unnecessary to achieving the short-term goal of reelection. A less disastrous outlook features democrats finding an outside, untested candidate. This powerful, unusual nominee would be able to articulate the liberals' last vestige government as social healer - while embracing America's renewed faith in a strong military presence. Virtually the only bearer of these standards is Gen. Colin Powell, the Chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While Gen. Powell is politically balanced in his advocacy of both affirmative action and military adequacy, interested supporters will have to overcome one obstacle: he hates politics. On the other hand, so did two other Generals-turned-President: Washington and Eisenhower. �Campus reacts to ROTC action Editorial insensitive P IONEER 250-2 S.

MARK TWAIN I was at the Feb. 28/March 1 meeting of the Statewide Academic Senate that voted to urge CSU campuses to eliminate ROTC programs until the Department of Defense ends its discrimination against gays and lesbians. I am one of the two senators from San Marcos to sit in the Academic Senate: I voted for the resolution and I am proud of it It is true that a ban on ROTC will disadvantage low-income students in the CSU: certainly one of the few ways which our government chooses to support either education or economic mobility in our society through the military. But the editors of the Pioneer should not blame the Academic Senate for this state of affairs; rather the Pioneer should put the blame squarely where it belongs - on the Department of Defense. I can assure you that the day the DOD rescinds its ban on homosexuals in the military, I will vote to restore ROTC programs on CSU campuses. Despite disclaimers, the Pioneer's editorial is homophobic. I fail to understand what besides their homosexuality disqualifies these men and women from serving their country. How can someone suggest that gays and lesbians are not people of the "highest moral character" and not be a homophobe? Does the Pioneer really believe that the high moral character is a litmus test for enlistment? If so, can the Pioneer assure me that the U.S. military screens out tax cheats, adulterers, spouse and/or child abusers, alcoholics and/or drug users and overly aggressive, violent personalities from its ranks with the same relish that it goes after homosexuals? The Pioneer i s wrong. There are gays and lesbians in the military: lots of them. And they serve alongside their comrades with a minimum of conflict and with great distinction. Let me tell the Pioneer's readers about one such soldier. Perry Watkins served in the army for 16 years as an openly gay man. He received the highest possible evaluations until he was unceremoniously discharged. An appeals court ordered him reinstated on the grounds that the Army had no right to discharge Mr. Watkins since it had repeatedly allowed him to re-enlist even though it knew he was gay: last year the U.S. Supreme Court let the ruling stand. Today thousands of homosexual soldiers, sailors, marines and air force personnel are serving in Saudi Arabia/Kuwait Some have been told that they face discharge after they return from the war. The military has told them, in effect, that they can serve their country in war time, that they can die for their country, but that they are not good enough to serve it in peacetime. Where is the fairness in the military's behavior? I c an't see i t Just as I c an't see as fair a military sponsored educational program that asks the CSU to grant academic credit for "military science" subjects and then limit access to that program by discriminating against homosexuals and anyone who has harbored a homosexual thought. That* right The military asks ROTC candidates to sign a statement declaring that they are not homosexuals and that YOUR VIEWS STUDENT FORUM they have never entertained homosexual ideas. That's a standard that few of us could m eet Is thq Pioneer suggesting that people lie in order to become "spotless examples o f... social morality?" So get off the Academic Senate's back, Pioneer. If you really care about restoring access to educational benefits for disadvantaged students, then write the Department of Defense, your congressional representatives, even the President and tell them that you want them to end their discrimination against the fine young gay and lesbian students who want to serve their country and to get access to those same educational benefits. You wouldn't tolerate them discriminating against racial or religious minorities and you c an't tolerate them discriminating against a minority whose sexual orientation is not yours. P ATRICIA S . SELESKI/ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF HISTORY and CSUSM STATEWIDE ACADEMIC SENATOR ROTC needs support There has been many opinions in \hcPioneer which I did not agree with, but I chose not to respond to them in the "Your Views" section because I did not feel strongly enough about a particular story or opinion to respond with a written rebuttal. But, I have changed my position about not responding because of one story that was printed in the Pioneer on March 19 of this year. The story that I am speaking about, is the CSU Academic Senate calling for a systemwide ban of ROTC because ROTC discriminates against homosexuals. When the CSU Academic Senate passed the resolution on March 1, they stated, "the ROTC SHARE Y OUR V IEWS ... of campus and world issues by writting a Letter to the Editor. Submit letters in Pioneer's mailbox in the Student Services Office. program's discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is a violation of basic human rights and inimical to the values of the university, and is a violation of non-discrimination policy for the CSU system," as reported in the Pioneer. The first question that must be asked: Is ROTC violating the basic human rights of certain students? I believe that the ROTC is not violating any humanrightsbecause ROTC is not essential for an individual's existence. The second question that must be asked: IS ROTC violating the values of the University? I believe it is not violating the values of the university because the university's values should parallel the values of the Judeo-Christian ethic, but if the university's values allow for the deviant behavior of some, then I must agree with the CSU Academic Senate that ROTC violates the university's values. Everyone remembers the speedy victory of our troops in the Persian Gulf against Saddam Hussein. Where did the military get most of its officers? The military got most of their officers from the ROTC programs run by the Army, Navy and Air Force. I believe ROTC is essential for the recruitment and training for the future officers thatfillthe positions in the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Therefore, the ROTC is an investment in the young people of today and the national security of tomorrow. The CSU Academic Senate claims that the ROTC is discriminating against homosexuals. But, if the CSU Academic Senate gets its way on the ROTC issue, then the Academic Senate is also guilty of discrimination. They would be infringing on the rights of students because students interested in participating in ROTC would not have the opportunity to do so. L et's say, for the sake of argument, that a student who has a limited income chooses to participate in ROTC and then suddenly the ROTC program is expelled from the CSU campuses. Then the student has to attend an expensive private university to participate in the ROTC program, or has to withdraw from the CSU because he or she cannot afford school without the ROTC scholarship. Does the CSU Academic Senate want to be responsible for the withdrawal of tens of hundreds of students because they have to impose their beliefs of individuals who pay their salaries and for their facilities in which they do their research to further their careers and their academic reputation? I call on the students of CSU San Marcos to reject this feeble-minded resolutions from the CSU Academic Senate because i t's an attempt by the CSU Academic Senate to impose their ultra-liberal views on us as students and on our institutions in which we fund and control as citizens of the state of California. Furthermore, if the CSU chooses to expel ROTC from the campuses, then they should expect lobbying of state and federal legislators to create abill which cuts off all federal and state funds to the CSU system, and heavily tax any gifts that the CSU receives. W ILLIAM R . C HRISTENSEN 11/ CSUSM STUDENT �12 ACCENT P IONEER /TUESDAY, A PRIL 2, 1991 Play shows m eeting o f b lack l eaders J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Without a theater or even any type of performing arts department, Cal State San Marcos will hold its first theatrical performance this Sunday with a presentation of 'The Meeting,' a one-act play. CSUSM's StudentLounge, aroom where everything from orientations to conceits are held, will be transformed to resemble a Harlem hotel room, the set for 'The Meeting.' "We've rented three sets of staging; the rest would have to be done with imagination," said Donald Funes, Liberal Arts Dean. " It's radio for the eyes." The simple set allows for the meeting of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X. The two leaders engage in an arm-wrestling challenge. " It's based on three arm-wrestling games that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X have," Funes said. "King wins one, Malcolm wins the other and they tie the last. It signifies what would happen if they were working together." Funes said the one-act play is an Rocky and Bullwinkle stab a t conventionalit When I was a kid I was told by my mom that brussels sprouts (the bane of all children) were only tiny cabbages. I suddenly developed a hate for cab. As I grew older, I found that really isn't so bad. Even brussels sprouts, when smothered in cheese sauce, are mostly edible. The same thing goes «for'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.' When I was a kid, the shoddy animation and corny dialogue of the program always inspired me to switch the channel to Bugs Bunny, or even — gag — Felix the Cat. As an adult, however, I am forced to reevaluate my position. Sure the dialogue is still corny the animation still stinks, but now see things in the cartoon that slipped by my younger mind. Hidden among the terrible puns, the script constantly smacks the establishment alongside the head. We know the heroes: there's the whimpy flying squirrel, Rocky, and the lanky, dull-witted moose Bullwinkle. Together they haplessly fall into adventure after adventure. Neither of our two protagonists seems to be particularly heroic, but the two make a likeable duo. ^ Xhe villains are two putzes from PotsylvaniayBoris B^ronofT and Natasha. If you liked Gold War politics, you'll love these two numskulls, VIDEO REWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE Of course Rocky and Bullwinkle always end up victorious over their arch-rivals, but it isn't because of their massive intellects. They win in the end simply because we expect them to, and survive the most harrowing cliffhangers ever devised in cartoonville. The best part about the cartoon is the sharp witted script which stabs at everything from smog to television. The show even mocks itself at times. In one scene, Boris and Natasha are off to get an A-bomb to destroy our heroes. Bullwinkle makes the observation that, "A-bomb is what some people will call our program." In between spurts of RockyBullwinkle storyline are regular short skits in the program. One such short is 'Fractured Fairy Tales.' As you probably guessed, 'Fractured Fairy Tales' gives nice malignant twists to classic childhood stories. One episode has a wolf who is trying to kick the habit of eating Little Red Riding Hoods. Of course the wolf gets thrashed by both Little Red Riding Hood and her meek grandma. I won't tell you the ending, but suffice to say that nobody lives happily ever after. History isn't even safe from the satirical barbs of 'The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.' In 'Improbable History,' Mr. Peabody, the supergenius dog, and his nerdy friend SEE VIDEO/PAGE H q ^ Z essay about the political and spiritual beliefs Malcolm X and Martin Luther King had about how to reverse the tide of discrimination. The performers are with the Orange County Black Actors Theater. They include Bingwa, Curtis Thomas and Caril Gillard. Adaline Hunter is the director. "This is a total professional com- pany," Funes said. Performance starts at 7 p.m. on April 7 and will last about an hour. There is no charge, but Funes points out that there is limited seating. " It's first come, first serve," Funes said. The newly formed CSUSM history club is helping transform the lounge into a theater. The Rivals' absorbs audience in two acts D EBBIE PUFFY/PIONEER Rivaling most any otherplay, ' The Rivals' is an intimate, delicate presentation of the trials and tribulations of love which absorbs and includes the audience so well, that everyone in the theater is involved in the plot, the setting and the ending. Set in 18th-century Charleston, South Carolina, ' The Rivals' i satwoact play. The story begins with three rivals, Jack Hosdiate, Sir Lucius O'Trigger and Bob Acres, who are all after the hand of Lydia Lanquish, the heroine played by Cynthia Peters. Servants, aunts, fathers, friends, and enemies keep the true hero from getting to Languish, which makes the play both hysterical and entertaining. One would think the Old English dialogue in the play would be difficult to understand; however, the acting and stage directing is so nearly perfect that the language is never a barrier to overcome for the audience. The viewers seem to understand every gibe and satirical remark. The actors are witty and charming, with gestures and facial expressions that personify specific characters on the stage. Bob Acres, for example, is the perfect country bumpkin trying to capture the alluring Lydia Languish by portraying himself as a "country gentleman." Acres, played by Andy Wynn, thinks that by changing his clothes and the furniture in his house, SEE R IVALS /PAGE 15 �TUESDAY, APRIL 2, 1991/PIONEER ACCENT 13 On C ampus American Indian Cultural Fair: Co-sponsored by Cal State San Marcos and SDSU North County, this annual festival will be April 13 from noon to 8 p.m. at the Red Barn, 149 East San Marcos Blvd. This special event will feature the Alaska Ku-Tee-Ya Dancers, Kumeyaay Bird Dancers, Luiseño Singers of San Diego County, San Diego InterTribal Drum and Dancers, American Indian Storytellers, Pageant of Traditional Dress and Adornment and more.

When entering the theater itself, however, you can sense the intimacy that is within, which is partly because of the theater-in-the-round setting. The theatre-in-the-round is difficult to direct because not only is there an audience on all four sides of the stage, but there is the change of props between acts seen in front of the entire theatre audience; there is no curtain here. Because of this stage set-up, the audience always knows when the scenes change. The cast combats this inconvenience by having the servant characters rotate the stage to a different position, depending on the scene. This way, viewers on all sides of the theater are able to see actors and the stage from every angle. Lamb's Players Theatre, San Diego's only year-round professional acting ensemble, has set its 1991 season of production. After opening this year's season with 'The Rivals,' the Players will present 'The Boys Next Door,' by Tom Griffin. Arnold, Lucien, Norman and Barry are the most unique bunch of neighbors you could ever ask for - golf pro, expert on Russian, doughnut king and conqueror of rodents - but i t's best not to be fooled by these characters' appearances. This off-Broadway hit will bounce you from laughter to tears and back. T he Boys Next D oor' runs April 19 through May 25. 'The Trip to Bountiful,' June 14 through July 20, is Horton Foote's delicate Southern Portrait of Carrie Watts who longs to visit the little rural town where she grew up, whether or not her family thinks it best. They say you can never go home again, but sometimes i t's the journey that matters. Aug. 9 through Sept. 14 brings 'Traveler in the Dark.' Even the most firmly held convictions can be shaken by the loss of a friend or the questions of a 12-year-old. This is Marsha Norman's fascinating contemporary exploration of the boundaries of thé mind and reaches of the heart. Closing the 1991 season is 'Quilters,' the award-winning musical by M olly N ewman and B arbara Damashek. 'Quilters' is a celebration of the pioneer spirit of the everyday, extraordinary women who helped settle the West. Performances are O ct 4 through Nov. 16. All performances are at Lamb's Players Theatre at 500 E. Plaza Blvd. in National City. Season ticket prices are $47-$81, with gift certificates available.

ELECTIONS Committee sets parameters L ARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER With Cal State San Marcos' first Associated Students elections underway April 22 and 23, the A.S. Elections Committee, last Thursday, set parameters for items of protocol not outlined in the A.S. Constitution. Among the guidelines established by the committee, were the criteria for what constitutes a determining majority and rules governing campaign ethics. In order for a candidate to be elected as president of the A.S., 50 percent of the votes cast plus one vote must be received in favor of that candidate. It was the unanimous decision of the committee that a simple majority would insure that students elect the most qualified candidate possible. Paul Phillips, director of Financial Aid and a member of the council, pointed out that simply having the highest percentage of the popular vote does not necessarily insure the best representation. With f our candidates running for the presidential position, the probability of one person garnering more than SO percent of the vote is low, the committee reasoned. In order to help students decide which candidate to choose, an open forum has been set for April 18. The forum will be held at noon in the Student Lounge. At the event candidates will give a brief statements of their platforms and address questions from the voters. Since more than one representative for each college will be chosen by the electorate, the candidates with the highest percentage of the vote will fill the available seats. Also on next week's ballot is a proposition to ratify the Associated Students Constitution that was drafted by the Student Governance Task Force on March 16.

Barry Munitz named chancellor amid CSU budgetary crisis time LONG BEACH - State trustees named Barry Munitz chancellor of the California State University system, April 4, with the hopes that his educational and business experience could guide the 20-campus system through its worstfinancialtimes ever. Munitz, 4 9, was chosen by a "strong majority" of the 19-member board over two other finalists. The three top candidates* were selected from more than 700 applicants from throughout the nation. "There is probably no one better equipped to help us through these difficult budget times than Dr. Munitz," said CSU Trustee J. Garry Shansby. "With his private and public record of service, we believe he will do a terrific j ob leading the CSU." Munitz served as chief operating officer of Federated Development since 1982. Also serving as vice chair of Federated*s P arent c ompany, Maxxam (which owns Pacific Lumber Co.), Munitz was the most controversial of the finalists. Santa Monica Assemblyman Tom Hayden branded Munitz as "insensitive to environmental issues" based on his a ffiliation with Maxxam. However Board of Trustees Chair William Campbell said such claims arenotconsistentwithMunitz'sbackground. Munitz served as chancellor of the University of Houston's main campus from 1977 to 1982. Prior to that time, he was vice president for academic development at the University of Illinois and a staff associate with the Carnegie Foundation Commission on Higher Education. On Aug. 1, Munitz will succeed a cting CSU c hancellor E llis E . McCune, who stepped into the position when W. Ann Reynolds resigned a midst c ontroversy. P roponents claimed Reynolds secretly granted large pay raises to herself and top administrators. Munitz* s selection comes on the heels of massive budget cuts by California G overnor P ete W ilson. Wilson'sproposed budget would trim $600 million from the requested $2 billion CSU operating budget. The failure of the the $450 million Proposition 143 in November further compounds budgetary woes facing Munitz. The proposition would have added revenues to construction and renovation of CSU campuses. Trustees sought a strong leader to help steer the system through financial difficulties and help restore the public confidence that was lost in the Reynolds scandal. Even though many of the problems facing the system seem insurmountable, Munitz said he believes the CSU can become a model for other undergraduate systems. He said that he has a strong belief that the CSU may be the single best place in the country to establish that undergraduate teaching is equal in value to graduate education. Munitz also favors decentralization of the system, a reversal of the trend established during the Reynolds administration. Munitz is in favor of strengthening the individuality ofeach CSU school rather than lessening i t When assuming his new post, Munitz will take a pay cut of $225,00 from his presidential position with Federated. His salary will drop from $400,000 year to $175,000 per year. Space summer camp program seeks alliance with university M ARK HOPKINS/PIONEER Junior high schoolers may beblasting-off to future careers in space if an initial proposal to site a camp at Cal State San Marcos gets off the ground. Balboa Park's International Aerospace Museum is looking for land to permanently house up to two space exploration camps in San Diego County. "We do not have a permanent site as of yet," says Geoige Leisz, Chair of the Aerocenter Committee, the organization responsible for establishing the space camp. "Dr. Stacy (president of CSUSM) contacted me about the program/'said Leisz about the campus being a possible home for one of the camps. In addition to talks with Stacy about leasing land, the museum is undergoing talks with the City of San Diego to possibly house a camp at Brown's Field, a light-aircaft airport located near Tijuana International Airport Stacy said the University Council has not committed to the project, but indicated CSUSM is interested in the idea. "There's been nothing concrete asked as of yet," he said. Leisz said the one-year-old program is modeled after Spacecamp, which is located in Alabama. Currently, the camp is at the University of San Diego, with additional academic support comingfrom San Diego State and the University of California at San Diego. According to Leisz the idea of a space exploration camp is very popular with seventh- and eighth-graders, to the point of overflowing. He said that one of the reasons why the museum initiated the program locally last year was because a number of the participants of the Alabama program live in California; more importantly, however, is the "promotion of excellence in math and science." This promotion in math and science is, "One of the focuses Dr. Stacy has for a greater organization in math and the sciences," said Leisz; Stacy said if the space camp does find a home at CSUSM, it could strengthen the curriculum in both mathematics and science. " We'dbe creating an environment that is great for math and science," he said. Currently, the aerospace organiza- tion controls the curriculum of the camp that includes a number of advisors; among these advisors is former Space Shuttle astronaut Sally Ride. "There has not been any talk about the university being involved with forming the curriculum," said Leisz. "He (Stacy) has not expressed any desire to involve the university in the curriculum." In addition to the land lease, the aerospace group would also like to rent out, "in a no-conflict situation," the campus' facilities. Leisz said monies and equipment have been donated by a number of aerospace related firms that includes Convair andRyan; nofinancialsupport is being asked of CSUSM by Leisz' committee. According to Stacy, a campus environment is conducive to the needs of a summer camp for children. Because the university will have athletic facilities, the need for one to be built from scratch to accommodate campers will be eliminated. Eventually Leisz hopes the camp will be offered on a year-round basis rath»* than exclusively during the summer. �4 PIONEER/TUESDAY,APRIL 16, 1 9 91 NW ES Newest contraceptive has good, bad points E lection B allot By now you may have heard about Cal State San Marcos' first student election ballot has one proposition, three fee measures, a president new implanted form of birth control a and 12 representative seats to vote on.

JOEL SRINOLDS The most significant adverse side effect is irregular, increased, decreased orprolonged menstruation, especially during the first year. In one study about 66 percent of women had irregular periods during the first year which decreased to 33 percent during the f ifth year. Other side effects that are similar to oral contraceptives also occur with Norplant There can also be adverse effects as a result of theprocedure and local reactions to the implants; however, these are minimal. As with many of the nation's major family planning agencies, I feel the major problem with Norplant is cost. The Norplant System will cost $350 and $ 100 to $200 f or the procedure. T he manufacturer is spending millions in promoting this method as well as training professionals in the use of this technology and the methods of implantation. At this time, unfortunately, there is not a price reduction f or public clinics. Consequently, clinics that are state or federally funded, serving students and low income women, will most likely not b e able to provide this service.

'Romantic Correctness needed At a recent happy-hour function with some of Cal State San Marcos' finest, a Mend ofmine told me her boyfriend was a jerk. "What are you still doing with him?" I asked. She didn't know» and acted embarrassed. In a different setting, another friend sought my advice in a dating matter. He was wondering if a "minor deception" was allowable in his current relationship: he dated a second girl on the sly. Finally, in a mixed group, several men guffawed when someone announced that he would not return a phone message for at least several days. He said he was avenging the woman who called because she took two weeks to telephone him. "That is so stupid," said the only lady present "Jerks never call back." Had enough? Something very sad happened between the 50s era of genderrigidity,and our current mess of mixed signals, double standards, unspoken understandings, meaningless rules, and mutual disdain. The peaceful co-existence nearly forged in the 70s crumpled in the 80s. The 90s has welcomed a new battle of the sexes. Many women think that men are jerks, and the darker male descriptions for women are unprintable. I t's time to set down the stuff of Romantic Correctness. This discussion will not entirely please either gender, but the standard of negotiation ismeaningfulcompromise.Furthermore, I readily confess that my perspective is male skewed. I encourage differing parties to write to Pioneer, Firstly, the notion of instant gender equality must be abandoned. While gaining overdue equal-pay-for-equal-work protection, the aggregate income of women still trails men at all P A V P HAMMOND PIONEER COLUMNIST levels of class. This lag in societal evolution inhibits a significant, and vital, change in dating relations: who pays. Until women are satisfied that their earned income i s truly equal, men will gain no ground in their efforts to shift a fair half of the financing burdens of dating. It is Romantically Correct, then, for a man to pay for dates. In turn, women must strengthen their will against accepting dates for purely selfish reasons. Sincere interest and genuine attraction are the only Romantically Correct motivations for accepting offers. Nothing but more resentment results when a man invests his money and time, only to discover that he was being used to " fill" a vacant Friday night. The excuse that "he asked" is subscribing to the notion that a fool should be taken for his money. Secondly, romantic involvement almost always begins with a man approaching a woman. This historical hangover of cultural tradition is still a tense situation; time has not made potential rejection any more palatable. Worse still, neither party wants to appear to be doing what they are doing, so the man makes his interest sound remote, while the woman hesitates to accept an immediate o ffer, thereby appearing indifferent Both parties assume the A proposal has been made at Palomar to completely abolish student government at the 25,000-student community college. The student proponent says that apathy is so high, that few would even realize the absence of a governing body. Last year, at Stanford University, students elected Bart Simpson as president and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as representatives. The reason, cited many, was the lack of acceptable candidates. OUR VIEWS STAFF EDITORIAL Next Monday and Tuesday, the over 630 students at Cal State San Marcos have the opportunity to vote on a new government.

A T HOUGHT; "The President must use whatever power the Constitution does not expressly deny him." HARRY S TRUMAN It is ironic that CSUSM's greatest asset has become one its biggest sources of controversy. Certainly the 2,500-word across-the-curriculum writing requirement is at times cumbersome and stressful, but the extra effort required for its fulfillment is an insurance policy for excellence. The requirement is reflective of a new university's grand dreams and idealisms. Writing on a subject requires deeper cognitive thinking than does the process of memorization-regurgitation. Perhaps the greatest problem facing education today is that many graduates find difficulty communicating what was learned in college. When a research or critical paper is written, the student author becomes an expert on a subject that was previously an alien entity. The teacher, for at least the length of the paper, is momentarily transformed into a student who explores, in detail, an area in which he/she may be relatively unfamiliar. Hence, the required term paper becomes the matchmaker for an educationally symbiotic relationship between professor and pupil. In no Cal State University can such a relationship be found except at CSUSM. To obtain such a personal educational experience, one would have to pay tremendous sums at private institutions. Some individuals feel that a writing requirement for such subjects as mathematics or business is not necessary. To illustrate why it is important, let's examine one stereotypical fictional character. Joe Geometry is a math major at a California State university south of San Marcos. Apart from the fact that Joe is of similar species to LARRY BOISJOLIE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF those around him, he doesn't seem to fit in well with crowds. Even though he is a whiz with a slide-rule and always has a charged calculator in his hip pocket, he has trouble communicating his lifelong passion (mathematics) to others. Day after day, the hapless Joe memorizes, with uncanny ability, those equations of Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus that are sure to land him a high-paying j ob with Hewlett-Packard someday. But, when Joe leaves the university, he is in for an uncalculated s urprise... the personal j ob interview! Expecting to be quizzed on his knowledge of mathematical formulas, Joe is thrown off by the personal questions of his hopeful employer-tobe. He is speechless with regard to other subjects that interest him. He finds that he cannot even explain what inspired such mathematical geniuses as Pythagoras and Isaac Newton to develop their sacred theories. The moral of this fable is that rote memorization is not a practical tool for building foundations of social communication. A gorilla can be taught to add two and two, but only a human can communicate the process by which the answer was arrived. If our education should be any- thing, it should be of practical use in the outside world. If Joe had only taken the time to research, study and write about what inspired his idols, then he might have been able to communicate what he had learned to his interviewer. As he stands now, Joe can easily be. replaced with a cheap desktop computer and about $1,000 in software. The greatest problem with the writing requirement at CSUSM is the exponentially increased sizes of some general education courses. Last semester, with class sizes averaging around 20, instructors could more pensively read and respond to student papers. But with some classes holding 60 students this semester, instructors are forced to read as many as 150,000 student-written words. Obviously, with such a load, many instructors will go blind and bald long before retirement permits. By staggering papers throughout the class, some instructors can ease their burdens slightly. For instance, one-half of the class could be required to turn in papers early while the other half waits until the second half of the semester. The university could also help out by offering more class sections, thereby reducing class populations. Unfortunately, such apian requires more instructors, which requires more money, which the university has trouble obtaining during current budgetary duress. It is natural and expected for students to quibble over extensive writing assignments, but the university's goal of excellence should not be compromised by those who see the requirement as a bother rather than a passport to understanding. VP search not reflective of college's goals As a member of the first graduating class of CSU, San Marcos, I expect nothing less than the very same high standards of moral character and decency when looking for an Academic Vice President that CSUSM expects of me as a student I believe that the AVP Search Committee has an obligation to each and every student that attends this university to be consistent with the philosophy behind the requirements that are asked of lis. I also believe that the AVP Search Committee has an obligation to be consistent with the Mission Statement which states that "CSU, San Marcos endorses an international perspective that addresses the global community in its distinctive social, political and economic terms. This multicultural outlook is reflected in our curriculum, extracurricular activities, international exchanges and special programs that focus on world issues and problems." I now challenge the committee to assume that very safrie "multicultural outlook" when searching for an Academic Vice President In order to graduate from this university, I am expected to take 15 units in Global Aware- YOUR VIEWS PUBLIC FORUM ness and another three units in Race, Class and Gender. The classes I have taken thus far have succeeded tremendously in culturally enriching my life. CSUSM has taught me to believe that I, as a woman, have the capacity to achieve and to make Changes. It has taught me and my friends of color that they are not inherently incapable but for decades have been historically raped and repressed. I now demand to the AVP Search Committee, "practice what you preach." Give me a new list of candidates that reflects cooperation "in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity." When I look at the top three positions overseeing this university and my education, I want to see the very same "race, gender and cultural diversity" with which I am expected to learn, respect and live. I demand consistency throughout the system — from the top down. Hence, it is my suggestion that the AVP Search Committee return to its non-traditional drawing board, take a non-traditional look into the "person" rather than simply stats on paper, and return with a non-traditional list of candidates that is truly representative of the "enlightened individuals" that represent the goals set forth by CSU, San Marcos.

PIONEER/TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 1991 �Reservations reflect varied Indian tribes K ATHY SULLIVAN/PIONEER As early as 40,000 years before Christ, the lands around San Marcos were already home to American Indians. Until 1540 A.D., when the exploration by the Spanish began, the Indians enjoyed free dominion over the North San Diego area. Aztec-Tanoan was the basic Indian language of the ancient tribes. Dialects formed, and today's North County Indians speak three distinctive languages: Cahuilla, Luisefio and Cupeno. These Indians dwell principally in nine reservations. Most of the reservations are in the remote foothills around Palomar Mountain. The Cahuilla Indians, also known as the Los Coyotes Band of Mission Indians, have a tribal reservation of 25,049 acres in the Warner Springs area. The reservation was established by Executive Order in 1889. Los Coyotes, the county's largest reservation, is not far away from the smallest North County Reservation, Mesa Grande. The 120-acre reservation is set among large cattle ranches between Mission Santa Ysabel and Lake Henshaw. Mission Santa Ysabel, once a satellite to Mission San Diego, still serves the Cupeflo Indian community. The old adobe mission with its small museum and old graveyard is located on the Santa Ysabel Indian Reservation off Hwy. 78. In 1893, the land around Santa Ysabel Mission was allocated to the Cupefio Indians. Additional acreage L ARRY BOISJOLIE/HONEER was added in 1926.

The dancers wore traditional Indian garb during their performances. Sacred dances were included in the repertois. Elder tells more than just nature stories legends of the elders. Even a stick or a leaf on the ground can have a message for anyone willing to listen to it. He says the ability to communicate with nature is something that all persons can possess. "You'll find, in all Native Americans, the ability to identify with the trees in songs legends and council," Rodriguez cites as an example. His stories are rich in humor and wisdom and convey moral messages about the natural world surrounding all living things. "They have humorous parts to them," says Rodriguez "but, in the beginning, they were serious. Humor developed in them." Storytelling in Rodriguez's Luisefio tribe is not a formal event. He says some stories were conveyed to him during regular, everyday events by the elders. "In my tribe the education comes from the elders and not the parents," Rodriguez says.

The land is composed of valley floor and steep mountain hillsides. West of Pauma Valley on Hwy. 76 is the Pala Reservation. In the center of the reservation is the famous San Antonio de Pala Mission. Pala Reservation covers 7,722 acres of fertile river-bottom land and rolling hills. I n the early 1900s, white ranchers forcibly removed Indians from their Warner Springs homes and repatriated them to Pala Reservation. They were warned never to return. The result is a mixed heritage of Luisefio and Cupefio Indians on the Pala Reservation. North of Pala, near the San Diego-Riverside County line, is the 4,097-acre Pechanga Reservation.

At Saturday's American Indian Cultural Fair, Rodriguez told a story about a sandpiper he saw on the sand while walking with his mother. As he was about to thrust a rock at the bird, his mother stopped him. According to legend, the sandpiper was scurrying around frantically to see, for one last time, the body of a great grandparent who was awaiting cremation. The animal ran around looking for the elder, but never found him. As he was about to throw a second rock at the sandpiper, he hesitated. For a moment he was affixed by the animal's stare. "For one brief moment," recounts Rodriguez, "the bird held your life in his hand. The bird gives us another chance at life." Rodriguez says that the bird had a message for him, just as all things in nature have a message for all people. When he was a child, his grandfather gave him the Indian name Hewalee, which stands for one who is aggressive or goalsetting. Rodriguez says that he has always tried to live up to that name. He feels, however, that the new generations of storytellers d on't try to live up to tradition as the older generations do. "Their stories are losing some of the tradition," he says. "They are not as sophisticated." Rodriguez says the tradition is stronger among the larger tribes than the smaller ones. As a whole, the nations of Indians are growing, he indicates. Rodriguez has been instrumental in starting American Indian Studies Programs at colleges throughout California. He points out that some institutions, like Palomar College, readily accepted the program, while others, like San Diego State University, took more time. He says the best story he can tell is about a pony-tailed man in Kansas City who gave advice to Indians about how best to survive in the United States. "He told us the first thing is to get an education," Rodriguez says. "Next, learn the system and learn it well; do your homework and keep your mouth shut when you have to. From then on I learned the system and did my homework." J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER Kazem Sangabi (left) paints a feathery design on the face of 11-year-old Matthew Evans during Sunday's fair.

For Kazem Sangabi, however, painting 30 snails isn't unusual, but he prefers to use his artistic talents painting faces. That's just what he was doing at last Saturday's American Indian Cultural Fair, sponsored by CSUSM and SDSU North County. Sangabi, 34, doesn't limit his subjects, but prefers the children at the Festival. " It's good to work with the kids," he said. " I talk with them and tell them jokes." By the time Sangabi gets a few jokes out and gets his young customer familiar with the wet paint brush running across their cheeks, he is finished. Faster than a snail's pace, he paints anything from flowers to dragons on the faces of his customers. "The flamingo and the scorpion are my favorite," he said, "but I like the eye designs the best. They have a feathery look." Even though he has a display of his perfected design for people to choose from, he does have other favorites. "Don't forget I do the Ninja Turtles too," he tells the people looking at his selections. "I do the turtles because you have to go with the fashions," he said. "I can do Bart Simpson but I don't tell anyone. I don't like that guy. H e's ugly and when I finish, he looks uglier." At the festival, Sangabi painted all ages, even a 5-month-old girl. " I've painted from 4 months to 93 years-old." Sangabi doesn't stop there. " I've painted a chimpanzee and a dog. I 've even did a face painting for Prince. "I worked with a fashion show and did some body painting for them." Sangabi said that arm paintings, looking like a tattoo, are more common than the facial art. Sangabi got started with stage make-up while learning at the University of Texas. After traveling for a while, he relocated to San Diego where he works as a freelance commercial producer. "Face painting wasn't supposed to be a j ob," he said. "But now it is." His video business and his paintings of all forms of creatures now supports him.

Watching fcearthrise' front within the geodesic dome of the Space Theater's cinema evokes more than wonder and awe; at times it almost approaches visual overload. Much of the footage was taken aboard the Space Shuttle by the astronauts themselves and then enhanced by computer. The giant Omnimax screen magnifies this experience by surrounding you with sensation. In a series of breakaway vignettes, the film explores the vital forces of nature and its impact on the environment. As the Earth passes beneath us, we move from the fiery inner craters of erupting volcanos into violent electrical storms and tropical hurricanes. A computer-simulated flight through the San Andreas Fault made more than a few in the audience hold tight t o their seat arms. It feels like riding on a rocket.

Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, said CSUSM will not be holding any formal summer school classes in 1991, but the College of Education is planning a specialized class. ^Education 350 will offer Education students field experience. "This is a course that provides experience in elementary education that is a prerequisite into the teacher credentials program," said Steve Lilly, Dean of the College of Education. The course serves as a transition from the classroom to the real thing, Lilly said. Lilly said the university originally planned to offer the new course starting in the fall, but with a high demand and budget constraints* the course will also be offered in the summer. As of press time, not all the details had been determined. Lilly, however, speculated the course will be held during the first three weeks in June to correspond with Vista's year-round school program. Lilly said the cost would be around $300.

CSUSM WILLTJOT ABANDON PROGRAM, BUT . .. University looks into problems dealing with writing requirement JONATHAN YOUNG^PIONEER With Cal State San Marcos* first academic year coming to an end, college administrators and faculty have indicated they need to reevaluate the2,500-word across-the-curriculum writing requirement but affirm their commitment to continue the program. "We will not abandon writing across the curriculum," said Victor Rocha, dean of the College of Arts and Science. "We need to look at it." Rocha explained that the program is still evolving and some areas need to be watched closely. In particular, Rocha said the university is paying attention to the faculty's work load. "What is surfacing is the amount of work it creates for the faculty," Rocha said. "We want to make sure the faculty doesn't get overloaded. "It's my job to stay ahead of that issue." Dean of Student Services, Ernest Zomalt, met with five students over the winter break to review the first semester of classes at CSUSM. He said the writing requirement was mentioned and students did share the same concern about the amount of Students voice their concerns work it heaped upon the faculty. Zomalt summarized the students about the writing requirement concerns and relayed the information PAGES 9 a nd 1 0 to all CSUSM's deans. The review covered several topics and "did not focus just on the writing requirement," "The act of writing will help you learn in any area of study," Rocha Zomalt said.

"Coldwell Banker is involved in the Heart of the City through various land sales," Coffman said. "We've put together a brochure with the city about the project for potential clients. "We've always had a relationship with the city of San Marcos. This relationship gives us the opportunity to educate the developers." ut Coffman said the four-page brochure, with a 30-page developers guide to the Heart of the City project, is still not enough to get developers interested. "The city's concept of the area is pretty green," he said. "The demographics are not there y et" Albert Amado, vice president of Physical Planning and Campus Construction, said the university had the opportunity to review the developer's guide during the development of the project "The Heart of the City is a specific plan that governs architectural standards.... The project is to control architectural development," Amado said. "The university was involved in reviewing those documents." Paul Malone, San Marcos Deputy City Manager, said the city included the university in its planning stages as an incentive to CSU trustees to choose San Marcos as the new CSU campus site. "The city has been very cooperative with the university," Amado said. 'This relationship assisted the trustees in choosing San Marcos over a possible site in Carlsbad, Malone said. "There's a lot of us (CSUSM) in that document," Amado said. "The documents haven't really been tested yet because no one has done any development yet." "The campus will actually have to open before any developer is interested," Coffman said. B O F * T HE C ITY alone said the city is not worried about the current rate of sales. "It doesn't concern us too much," said Malone. Malone cited the low economy for slow land sales in general; in comparison, he said sales within Heart of the City boundaries are above thè market average. Currently, Malone estimated about 40 percent of the land is already bought or reserved for future development. "A nice chunk of the land has already been reserved," he said, "so we'reriotas worried." Aside from the 305-acre CSUSM campus, land is allotted for a 50-acre Town Center which is to house the city's governmental offices, as well as other civic facilities. Already under construction is a Unocal station on the corner of Twin Oaks Valley Road and Highway 78. Malone said this would be the only gas station within the project. "It'll look unlike any other gas station," said Malone. The Heart of the City has a strong pedestrian orientation and any drive-thru facilities are not allowed. The Unocal site, however, was purchased before Heart of the City was developed. SECOND IN A SERIES mm he third construction job to start, following the campus construction and the Unocal station, are the street improvements. Twin Oaks Valley Road will be widened to an eight lane road from the highway to the campus site, and then continue as six lanes in each direction. The Edmond J. Vadnais Corporation was the apparent low bidder for the $ 10.2 million road project. "As the street improvements getfinished,the demographics will start to come in," said Coffman. "People will then start seeing the areas as a viable development" Construction is expected to start within 60 days on this phase of Heart of the City. Amado said this will be thefirsttest of the project's standards. "Those street improvements did take into consideration (the projectdocuments),and even more defined the project, which we had an opportunity to review and are very, pleased with what they've been doing," Amado said. As part of the street improvements, Amado referred to thefirst13-14 feet ofa50-foot-wide sidewalk. Heart of the City is pedestrian oriented and this large walkway will help facilitate that concept "Future developers will be required to install that second part of the walkway," Malone said. "The specifics of that are written out for each parcel." Malone said some of the houses along the two streets bordering CSUSM were purchased through eminent domain to make room for the new road. "We only bought them if their homes are in the way of the street widening," Malone said. "If they are not, then they can live in there till they fall." According to Malone, ihe city has purchased several houses on Twin Oaks Valley Road and one on New Barham. "We've settled with the vast majority of them," he said. "Some are quite happy. In fact, some have bought other homes already." The remaining housing along these streets do not fall undo* eminent domain and can remain where they are. Malone explained that even though the area is zoned Business/Commercial, the houses were present before the area was rezoned for Heart of the City. The homes, however, cannot be expanded. Coffman feelssome homeowners will prefer to sell, but are waiting for the university to open, when their property may increase in value.

Measure A would have enabled the A.S. to collect membership fees from students when they enroll in classes. The measure would not have given the A.S. therightto impose fees upon students, only the ability to collect them. Measure B, which received the simple majority of votes needed for its approval, assesses a $15 membership fee to students for the A S. But, withoutthe passing of Measure A, the fate of Measure B remains in akindof bureaucratic twilight zone, since no money can be collected without the passing of an enabling measure. "We will have to contact the Chancellor's Office to see whether B is valid in the absence of A," said Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt. He said that it is uncertain, at this time, whether Measure B will take affect once an enabling measure is passed or whether a new fee measure will need to be introduced. Zomalt said he hopes to bring the issue before the students again next CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 to secure their own votes as well." Proposition 1, the ratification of the student constitution, received an overwhelming affirmation with 96 percent of the student votes cast in support. Ballot Measure B, which assessed a$15 A.S. membership fee passed by IS votes, but cannot be implemented due to the failure of Measure A, the initiative enabling the student government to collect fees. Even though Measure A received 60 percent of votes in support, it did not reach the required two-thirds majority necessary for its implementation. "It's confusing as to what message the voters were communicating to the university," said Zomalt Zomalt said he suspects that Measure A lost due to voter misunderstanding of the language in which it was written. The language for the measure was taken directly from Title fall. He said an important task for the A.S. will be to stress the importance of fees to the student body. In the meantime, the newly-formed A.S. is left with the task of raising money for the organization. Zomalt said the- issue should be of highest priority for the A.S. Council. "Between now and fall we need to raise enough money to make the A.S. solvent," Zomalt said. He said the organization must incorporate and file for tax-exempt status before the beginning of the next semester's classes. A.S. fees are used throughout the Cal State system as a means for funding student events, supporting clubs and organizations, sponsoring guest speakers and performers, financing child care and support organizations. "Without money there is no Way to obtain many of the benefits of an A.S.," said Zomalt "That's no way to run a railroad." Along with the enabling fee, students also failed to pass Measure C, which would have assessed a $20 fee to students for the construction of a Student Union complex on the permanent campus. The measure was defeated by a margin of 29 vote, the largest gap of the three^measures. "I don't think we had enough time to explain how the fee was going to be used," Zomalt said. "The new A.S. needs to put together materials explaining its necessity." According to Zomalt, the funds would have gone to architects who would work on plans describing the building more fully. Currently, the complex is aplanned centerpiece of the permanent campus, but funding for thebuilding is not allowed to cóme from the state. Only donations and funds from the student body can be used in its construction. The failure of Measure C to pass may offset construction of the complex, which wasplannedfor 1995-96, by at least one year. The Student Union complex will someday house the A.S., the student newspaper the yearbook, clubs and other organizations pertaining to the students. "S tudents are going to have to take the issue seriously," said Zomalt. Zomalt pointed out that all other Student Union complexes throughout the state have been funded by student fees similar to that proposed by Measure C. Even the nearby MiraCosta Community College has a Student Union complex paid for by the student body. 5 of the state's Education Code and could have been deemed as a fee assessment measure. Students turned down Measure C, the Student Union fee initiative, by a significant margin of 29 votes. The measure, if passed, would have assessed a $20 per semester fee for each enrolling student to be put toward the construction of a Student Union complex on the permanent campus site. A run-off election for the position of post-baccalaureate representative at-large will be held concurrently with the presidential run-off. The race will decide who will occupy a vacant postbaccalaureate seat. David Hammond ran unopposed for one seat, but John Cave and William Jungman pulled in enough writein votes to necessitate a run-off election for the other seat In the College of Arts and Sciences, Maria (Venus) Van Handel and Gezai Berhane obtained unopposed representative seats. A third candidate, William Christensen, dropped from the race on thefirstdate of the elections. Steffanie Taylor and Mary Parker were chosen to represent the College of Business in a close battle with Koffi Kobenan and Anthony Slowik. The College of Education placed two unopposed candidates, Linda (Carol) Aguilar and Heliana Ramirez, in representative seats. Wendy Peterson received more votes than any other candidate (129) and obtained one of three undergraduate representative at-large seats available. Tanis Brown, Traci Barnhill and Tom Weir also were selected as representatives. Zomalt said he suspects the high voter turnout at the election could have been in support of the representative at-large candidates. He said many of those who were not elected into office will be offered key positions in working with the student council. He pointed out that positions are also available to represent the student voice to the Academic Senate and other organizations. "There were no losers in this election,"Zomalt said. "We've seen folks who have stepped up and taken the challenge." Springtime allergies nothing to sneeze at The good news is that the March rains have helped our drought condition; however, the bad news is that this may be a sinister allergy season because of the intense rain. Spring and early summer in Southern California make one out of six people fairly miserable with allergy symptom s. The recent rains have spurred the growth of indoor HEALTHNOTES and outdoor molds. Tree pollen DR. JOEL G R I N O L D S counts, and soon grass pollen counts will be on the rise. Pollen can travel up to 100 miles so that it is not just local vegetation that can be a factor. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis (commonly called Hay Fever) may include itching and swelling of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth, eyes, and lungs. It can cause sneezing, tearing, a clear discharge from the nose, post nasal drip, as well as a dry cough and wheezing. Approximately a third of people with allergic rhinitis will also have wheezing with exercise called exercise-induced asthma. The average allergic rhinitis patient is symptomatic for five months a year and 62 percent of patients report they are bothered a "great deal" by their symptoms. This obviously restricts people from every day activities and results in many work and school days lost Total sales for medications, both over the counter and prescription, amounts easily to over $2 billion a year. There is no magic allergy antidote but an allergic patient has basically three choices for gaining some relief. Thefirstis to avoid the offending allergen. This is usually fairly difficult but there are steps you can take to reduce allergens, especially in your home. For specifics see your health care provider for counseling and literature. The second choice is to use medication to relieve your symptoms. If you self-treat allergy symptoms with over the counter medications, ask a pharmacist for advice. Don't abuse the decongestant nasal sprays, especially since they have adverse long-term effects. Be careful even of overthe-counter antihistamines because most of these will have some sedating effect. Studies have demonstrated that they have similar effects to alcohol in impairing one's ability to drive. Know when to give up on self-treatment When allergies continue to interfere with your life, sleep, and work or if you develop secondary infectious complications, see your health care provider. Some fairly new, albeit fairly expensive, medications which relieve symptoms without causing sedation are now available by prescription after an evaluation by your health care provider. Lastly, immunotherapy, commonly referred to as allergy shots, based on specific allergy testing, can provide relief. This is appropriately usually the last resort if symptoms can not be adequately controlled by environmental avoidance and tolerated medications.

A THOUGHT; " Political i nstitutions a re a s uperstructure r esting o n a n e conomic f oundation." NIKOLAI LENIN Repeat after me. The Cal State University is a teaching institution first-and-foremost. This exercise is designed to exorcise Cal State San Marcos of its occasional flirtation with being a near-edge research arena rather than the "everyone's" university that the Cal State System was founded to be. This issue surfaces for several reasons. It is relevant that the students are genuinely exhausted with the extent of work required here in 300 level classes. This at least begs the evaluation of what amount of intellectual growth is netted when the challenge means multiple presentations, numerous papers, several tests, homework, and participation. Hold it, that's multiplied in force by three or four classes, and work, and family. In all the Politically Correct rhetoric about diversity and pluralism, scarce little has been put in writing to protect the so-called "returning student" It is especially relevant to ask when it even seems that student evaluations at a Cal State University are ignored in faculty retention decisions. As this has been, and remains, a popular assumption, it is correct to remind our faculty and administrators that the most important mission is the students' satisfaction and success. DAVID HAMMOND PIONEER COLUMNIST I hasten to add that most of us have as much or more experience in life and business management as many of our scholarly colleagues have just studying it. Our unique attributes as a onetime population makes our wishes all the more compelling. The fact remains that at least five student majority opinions regarding faculty teaching have been seemingly ignored. That is, they couldn't teach, and still work here, or they were great teachers, and didn't return. That fact is balanced by the difficulty of establishing the right way to grade teachers. Once again, time to reiterate the critical mission: teach. Student evaluations must account for 75 percent of the retention/promotion process. This weight will send a clear message to faculty in accord with the Cal State University mandate. Research and committee work should account for only 25 percent of the state university professor's time. In this regard, only applied research will count. That is, a demonstration of marketable talent. Community relevance is broadly applicable: consulting to a museum or business; inventing a teleconferencing system; conducting a concert. This will serve to insure that our best-andbrightest are developing the real-worldliness that the Ph.D. misses. Finally, the second-to-last week of every semester should include a public forum with only the students, Deans, and DepartmentChairs. This structure sparks direct, uninhibited feedback regarding the quality of instruction at Cal State San Marcos. Of course, no channel of communication is effective without a sender. When a student fills out a student evaluation seriously and legitimately, they are contributing to the process of building a great university. Naturally, this responsibility can only be appreciated when it is evident that the administration understands the correct mission of the university, and cares enough to live by it. Students reply to writing requirement stand AVP Search Committee assured ethnic diversity Asamemberof the Academic Vice President Search Committee and a student, I would like to address the recent statement printed in Pioneer ("VP search not reflective of college's goal") questioning the procedures taken by the AVP Search Committee in its Academic Vice President search. First, I would like to say that my esteemed peer is misinformed, or should I say failed to become informed, about who and what was represented in the search committee. For the sake of clarity, please allow me to do so. The AVP Search Committee was created for the purpose of assuring that all sectors of the university had an input into the hiring process of our Academic Vice President that reflected the mission statement of the university. This was reflected in the committee's makeup which represented the interests of the deans, faculty, staff and students. The search committee also reflected the cultural and gender diversity that is representative of our college community and student body. This is the 'who is represented' part of the search committee. Now for the what The committee was created at the recommendation of CSUSM President Bill Stacy. Reflecting the multi-cultural and gender characteristics of the university as a whole, President Stacy believed the best way to achieve this was by establishing a committee that incorporated all aspects of the university that reflected the AVP Search Committee a process in which I am pleased to say I was selected for and proud to be a part of.

LETTERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 lence," has become a sore spot for many. First, we students have to consider the source when an opinion supporting the writing requirement comes from a writer. In essence, that's easy for to say, Mr. Editor-in-Chief; you obviously have the gift of writing, a strong educational background in English composition, or both. For many students at CSUSM, neither is the case. We have a large population of returning students, who attended community colleges, where memorization-regurgitation is the predominant mode of learning. Taking these people and submerging them cold turkey into such intensive writing projects is like throwing the lambs to the wolves (and I might add that we should be congratulating ourselves for holding up under pressure). Secondly, we cannot deny the importance of cognitive thinking in modern society. Our country has transformed itself from an industrial/ manufacturing nation and, whether we are aware of it or not, we have become an information/ service oriented society (when's the last time you bought something that said "Made in America"on it?). Therefore, we must realize the importance ofeffective communication - through all medias: computer, telephone, written and oral. Any university emphasizing cognitive thinking would, by virtue of that fact, be serving the community well. Consequently, it cannot be denied that CSUSM's writing requirement is a great asset. However, the present application ofthe2,500word writing requirement seems to be posing problems for students and faculty alike. In order to be well informed on the subject, I called to inquire about the writing requirement and its guidelines; I found out that it is up to the individual instructors as to how to fulfil the 2,500 words of their courses. The requirement may be fulfilled via testing, term papers and other written assignments. One 10-page term paper would be sufficient, or two 100 percent essay exams, or a smaller paper and apartially subjective exam. The point is that the present practice of including all of the above in each class curriculum is considered by most students to be excessive. It is also apparent by the amount of time ut takes to get materials returned, that instructors are having a difficult time grading the assignments. Suggesting smaller class sizes, in order to resolve the problem is unrealistic; so is the concept of staggering assignments. The average full-time student would have to agree that due dates are irrelevant The fact remains that the monstrous workloads are having an adverse effect Nobody, not even a writer, can consistendy pour forth profound thoughts when the expectations become unrealistic. Included in quality learning is sufficient time for breaks (according to education specialists, this is when a lot of concepts are absorbed). Many students here are complaining that they are not realizing the material (writing assignments are pre-empting reading assignments, which are also an important learning tool.). T HE M ATHEMATICS MAFIA Different standards for Romanitic Correctness Hewlett Packard's newest employee Furthermore, we must consider the effect this issue has on the community. Already, the students at Palomar College, who are a valuable pool of possible future students, are living in fear of our writing requirement Will this deter them from choosing our fine new school? Certainly, our goal should be to emit an image that will make future students choose this institution for more than justreasonsof convenience . The writing requirement cannot serve the community well if it becomes an instrument of intimidation. In response to the paragraph of the opinion article, I'm sure the students at CSUSM would be appalled at the thought of compromising our university's goal for excellence. We first class students have acertain pride in our new campus. We all have to admit that the writing requirement provides a passport of understanding. However, we all are also painfully aware that excessive workloads, resulting from overzealous attempts toward excellence, can become counterproductive to our educational goals. In a nutshell, moderation and variety are the key. I also believe that more moderate writing assignments are inevitable; and I hope that a greater variety in modes of learning will be utilized instead. At theriskof being redundant, we do not want our education to be made easy, we simp y need to be realistic about the time that allotted. Let's all hope and pray that the end result will not deflate the excitement level that founding this new university has brought to the community. 1 LORA COAD/CSUSM STUDENT Share Y OUR V IEWS by submitting articles or letters; d rop off your entries in the Pioneer's mailbox in the Dean of Student Services' Office, Building 145. Mathematic majors can communicate better I agree with David Hammond that something sad happened between the 50s and the 90s. I don't agree with his view that the 90s have welcomed a new battle of the sexes ('"Romantic Correctness* needed," April 16). It sounds more like he is trying tofightthe same old battle with the same old rules, clothed in languages of the 90s. The rules are that women need to change and men get to stay the same. Let's look at some of David's 'stuff for Romantic Correctness. First, men should continue topay fprdates,but women must strengthen their will and accept 'offers' only when they are sincerely interested and genuinely attracted. This implies that afinancialinvestment must be met with and emotional investment. Unfortunately, in the real world genuine attraction and sincere interest may or may not happen after spending some time together. When it doesn't happen it does not mean that the man was being used or the woman wanted to Till' a vacant Friday night It simply mean it did not happen. Second, men still make the first move. It sounds like they are not happy about this because of the potential rejection they might have to endure. Therefore, they make the first move, but in an indirect remote way. Women, on the other hand, need to show more directness and cooperation. Now this is really confusing. When a women says no, which is very direct, she is rejecting. Yet when she responds to indirect, remote ways in an indirect remote manner, she neeas to be more direct and cooperative. Talk about mixed signals and double standards! I can hear David's frustration about the current state of affairs, but don't believe that his suggestions for Romantic Correctness will perfect what he calls the 'mating condition* because things don't change when things haven't changed. I must begin by apologizing for the lackluster attitude that the editor of our paper has shown in both fact-gathering and in journalism knowledge. If he had done his job properly, he might have taken a real math class before trying to communicate to you the faults of our "hero" Joe Geometry. He might have actually have come to one of our classes and seen the level of sophistication of communication that an actual mathematics class requires. If proper research had been done, our editor might also have seen that NOT ONE of the mathematics majors that attend Cal State San Marcos has complained about the across-theboard writing requirement This is not a hard fact to verify. There are only seven mathematics majors in the entire school. Oh to be a gorilla. I could score a job at HP (Hewlett Packard) without even attending a school. Just in case that nobody really realized just exactly where a laptop computer comes from, here's aclue: They don't grow on trees! If Joe Geometry could be replaced by a laptop and $1,000 in software, he should go get a job designing the computer that will eventually take the place of the newspaper editor. I guess the real purpose of the entire tirade is to throw down the gauntlet. If you, O mighty editor of our paper, think that you can handle a real class, come and try to keep up with even one of our lightest class days. I would bet that any of E LKE PHILLIPS/CSUSM STUDENT the mathematics majors do more thinking, adapting, and interpreting in one class period than you do in one week, with the exception of you own column of course.

Discovering new things doesn't exclude the Model Railroad Museum, located on the Prado. Under its unique circumstances, members are always finding new discoveries to the old art of building scale model railroads. Staffed by volunteer members from three local model railroad clubs, the Museum has trains running constantly during the four days a week it is open. "The number of hours we put on these tracks is phenomenal," said John Fiscella, a model railroader.

This small, but well-stocked art gallery is filled with excellent art works that are displayed in three different rooms named the Russian Room, the European Room and the American Room. The famous art pieces in the European Room were painted by acclaimed artists like Rembrandt and Cezanne, but the most interesting room is the American Room, which may not have the famous painters but does have American worksfromthe late 18th to the 20th centuries. It's gratifying to see the American paintings. Here are some splendid pieces of art. One work, for example, is named, An American Ship in Distress* and was painted by Thomas Birch in 1841. This painting of a ship in a storm immediately catches the viewer's eye Forcing a ship's sails to flutter andrippedcords to flap, the wind reveals its bursting power. Rippling, white-capped waves attack the flailing ship while the menacing sky readies itself to cry upon the Earth. Nature has the ability to crush man's invention. The viewer undeniably envisions the doom that lays ahead for this ship. Other paintings by American artists are just as marvelous and worth seeing. Another room worth visiting is the Russian Room.

"Because of the use, these rails always wear out," Fiscella said. Fiscella works on an immense HO scale model (1,487' to 1'), just one of several sections of the Museum. When completed, the set will model a train routefromEl Centra to San Diego. "What all these exhibits are trying to do is to model a section of California History," Fiscella said. His San Diego/Arizona Eastern exhibit will cover about 12-scale miles; 750 feet of actual scaled track has been developed. "When you add all the yard track and turnouts, you have to times that figure by about four," Fiscella said. Fiscella said their tracks and control terminals are stke-of-the-art. Each track tie is laid individually and the track itself is secured in place by scaled rail stakes. "It's cheaper in material and easier to repair," Fiscella said, "but it's labor intensive." Fiscella said his club has a track-laying crew, an electronics crew, a construction crew and even a scenery crew. "Scenery takes the longest to complete, but you don't have to replace i t" he said. Fiscella said the track repairs, and other updates due to extended use, will make the Museum always busy with work even after Prehistoric San Diego is the focus of a new temporary exhibition at the San Diego Natural History Museum opening May 4.

From the beginning, the Museum has existed to increase public knowledge and awareness of the history of aviation and the contributions made to our society through the development of aerospace technology. The institution experienced steady growth from its founding until February 1978, when the entire collection was destroyed by an arson fire. Rebuilding began immediately and involved combined efforts of the San Diego community and the Museum staff, directors, and volunteers. On June 28,1980, the Museum reopened, this time in more spacious quarters: the 1935 Ford Building, one of the finest remaining examples of the Art Deco style in the United States.

It teaches all of us lessons that transcend the playingfield,like the importance of teamwork, discipline, self-confidence and physical fitness. In Balboa Park, one organization is dedicated to recognizing the important role sports plays in our lives: The San Diego Hall of Champions Sports Museum. The Sports Museum's mission statement states, "To promote, recognize and preserve athletic achievement for the purpose of inspiring individuals of all ages to reach their full potential." The Museum fulfils its mission through several programs including programs for children. The "Say Yes to Sports" program provides organized athletic groups to thousands of San Diego's youth. At the same time, "Say Yes to Sports" teaches these youngsters about the benefits of sports. The Hall of Champions Monthly Awards Program honors outstanding performances by San Diego athletes. Since the program's inception in 1946, the Hall has recognized thousands of athletes, from Little Leaguers to Super Bowl MVPs. As part of the display, more than a century of San Diego history is preserved in the 15,000 square foot Hall of Champions Sports Museum. Whatever your favorite sport, the Hall ensures you'll find it featured in the Hall of Champions. There are 25 exhibits and a Sports Theater. Upstairs, the Museum's archives contain files, photographs, videotapes andfilmson some 2,000 San Diego athletes.

Icons, altar pieces that were usually carried from village to village by the people, were created for easy transportation. One of seven displayed, the middle and largest icon, portrays Jesus Christ sitting with a book under one arm and facing the viewer. Under Jesus are the words, "The All Ruler." The tradition of the icons, which this set follows, is to place the Virgin Mary on therightof Jesus and St. John the Baptist on the left. Four other saints are placed in the order of their importance on either side of Jesus, Mary and S t John; they are S t Peter, Michael The Achangel, Gabriel and St. Paul. All are standing toward Jesus with heads bowed in reverence to him. All are painted in bright colors with gold inlaid throughout their clothing and around their halos. These icons are worth viewing „ because of their importance to the Europeans and Russians during Middle Ages and Renaissance Periods. Sometimes icons were the only images of holy people the villagers ever saw, and most of the time they were the only pieces of art the viewers viewed. One can enter the Timken gallery without feeling overwhelmed because each piece is well-displayed where viewers can wander in and out of the rooms without feeling the pressure to leave.

The Zoo is completely bananas. Melba and Alvila, the city's simian superstars, are back in town and taking up residence on a chunk of prime primate real estate -— the new Gorilla Tropics, a rambling rain forest view lot in the heart of the San Diego Zoo. Dearly missed by Zoo keepers and visitors during a nearly two year absence, Memba, Alvila and four gorilla newcomers from Philadelphia and Cincinnati now give this city's famous Zoo a gorilla family group for the first time. While they were gone» the Zoo spent $11.5 million to build one of the most innovative and beautiful settings for the gorillas and 200 colorful African birds to call home. Officially dubbed "Gorilla Tropics: The Michael Dingman Family African Rain Forest," the Zoo's new exhibit complex is a two-and-a-half«-acre simulation of an African ' rain forest, complete with four aviaries of African birds, six gorillas in a spacious enclosure, thousands of African plants, and even the authentic sounds of Africa's jungle environment. The Zoo's new gorilla exhibit isfivetime larger than the old one, and liberally planted with bamboo,figand banana trees surrounding a hillside clearing. Memba, Alvila and clan are expected to chow down a good deal of the user-friendly foliage. Horticulturists have a small forest of replacement plants waiting in the wings. The best stereo system in town belongs to Memba andhis gorilla gang. The multiple compact disc system plays environmental sounds especially recorded in the African rain forests through 96 speakers hidden throughout Gorilla Tropic. Zoo designers call the concept "sound immersion" and look to the $200,000 system to add another layer of realism and sensory appeal. Computer programming allows an infinite variety of sound sequences. Sounds of thunderstorms will correspond with rain falling in the renovated Scripps Aviary. Sensors will record human and gorilla locations to trigger certain sounds. Pools and waterfalls are scattered throughout Gorilla Tropics. All water is recycled and reused, a technology consistent with the Zoo's water conservation ethic. Thousands of botanical specimens, including full-sized trees, are planted in and around thefiveanimal exhibits. Many of the plants were collected on Zoo expeditions to Gorillas top bananas in new park exhibit The San Diego Zoo's top bananas have finally come home, and they've brought a bunch of new friends with them. Memba and Alvila, the Zoo's popular lowland gorilla pair, are back from the Philadelphia Zoo where they vacationed for 1-1/2 years while their Gorilla Tropics habitat was being custom built-for them. They arrived in San Diego in February with four new gorilla companions. Memba, 21, is the big daddy of the troop; the adult male silverback, who is in charge of the gorilla family. His keepers say he's a changed gorilla since he got back from Philadelphia because he has overcome a shy streak towards humans. Although Memba is a bit of the serious side, he sometimes break-dances after hours in his sleeping quarters by spinning around on his back. The 350-pounder was born in the wilds of Africa, He later lived in a private estate zoo in Weybridge, England, until 1984 when he was donated to the San Diego Zoo by his owner Gordon Mills. Memba and mate, Alvila, are parents to Gordy gorilla, who recently went to live at the Como Zoo in S t Paul, Minn., from the Wild Animal Park. Alvila is considered the sweetheart among the Zoo's gorilla troop. She's a kinder, gentler animal who is particularly fond of humans. As the oldest troop member, 26-yearold Alvila is famous because she's the first gorilla ever born at the San Diego Zoo. Shortly after her birth on June 3,1965, she had trouble nursing from her mother so she was hand-raised in the Children's Zoo nursery that was built especially for her. SEE GORILLA/PAGE 18 Rwanda and Gabon to study wild gorilla habitat while planning Gorilla Tropics. Perched at the edge of what was once known as Bird and Primate Mesa, Gorilla Tropics offers spectacular treetop views that add to the lush, jungle-like feeling. Gorillas arefirstseen through a large, glass-front viewing area. Keepers plan regular feedings here to allow visitors some close-up encounters. Other gorilla viewing vantage points are across a cascading waterfall and through foliages. Around one bend in the winding trail is a family of full-size, lifelike gorilla statues, sculpted in bronze by artist Bob Berry. The gorilla statues invite curious climbing kids and grown-up picture takers. A cavernous walk-through free flight cage, the Scripps Aviary, houses hundreds of exotic African birds.Originally built in 1923, the Scripps Aviary has been completely renovated. Curving pathways to mid-canopy level have been added. New planting and a new water system are installed. Gorilla Tropics is the latest step in rebuilding the entire San Diego Zoo into 10 bioclimate zones. Renovating the 100-acre, 75-year-old Zoo is expected to be a 20 year project and to cost up to $200 million. Gorilla Tropics is part of the rain forest zone. It follows Tiger River (1988) and Sun Bear Forest (1989), both also rain forest habitats. The African Rock Kopje (1986) is part of the savanna zone. �C alendar Friday Evening Speakers Series: Professor Sergio D.

For some insanereason Fdrather be scared while watching a movie at home thantickled or dramatized. VIDEO REWIND BY S H E I L A COSGROVE There is just no form of entertainment that compares with being scared in the confines of your own house. And who is the master of scaring most any home viewer? Could it be SATAN? So you can probably imagine how thrilled I was to see two new releases in the video stores with the Devil himself as the bad guy. My head did a complete 360 when I saw the latest sequel to the Exorcist and a spoof on that esteemed flick called 'Repossessed.' The good news is that 'The Exorcist III' is an intelligent, artistic approach to my favorite subject. The bad news is that 'Repossessed' has reached hellish depths of comedy. Even though 'TheExorcistHT can, at times, be confusing and choppy, it is filled with all the zesty spirit of the original. This is probably because the author of the first, William Peter Blatty, has been brought back from the dead to script and direct this sequel based on his bestselling book 'Legion.' In the story, Blatty resurrects Damien Karras, the priest who took a tumble to exorcise the Devil from a little girl in the first movie. Karras, played by Jason Miller, is believably brought back as an almost-catatonic isolated patient in a cosmopolitan hospital. This time, it is the good priest that is possessed. Not only the Devil J ONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER himself, but a bunch of foul demons and the soul of a serial killer (named the Gemini Killer) inhabit Karras' body. Even though the Gemini Killer died in the electric chair IS years ago, murders committed in exactly the same manner as the Gemini m urders begin again. George C. Scott portrays Lieutenant Bill Kinderman, the detective searching for Che killer. Scott has some truly riveting moments as the perplexed detective, who stumbles upon the living body of his dead friend Father Karras and is pulled into the Devil's sticky web of possession. No one explodes in anger like old George t C. The acting is solid throughout the movie, but one particular part is so good it makes your toes curl. The part of the Gemini Killer, that is taking over Karras' body, is brought to life by Brad Dourif ('Mississippi Burning'). Dourif is entrancing as the killer, with moments of flare-up that makes the furniture singe. Rent the movie just to see this guy act. Unfortunately, Dourif doesn't make his appearance until the movie is halfway over. Before his entrance, you must endure a series of choppy but artistic scenes that try to link the / i—COUPON--- SEE V IDEO PAGE 19 Pancho's MESTAURANT ROW exican O LD C ALIFORNIA R 1020 S an M arcos B lvd., #104 S an M arcos, C A 92069 (619) 471-7595 COMPLIMENTARY DINNER ENTREE WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANOTHER DINNER ENTREE OF EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE.

She even teases him a little bit by stealing his f ood... and he lets her get away with it At 10-years-old, Jessie is the perfect age to start having babies. Jessie will probably be an excellent mother because she has had lots of experience with baby gorilla. She grew up with her gorilla family at the Philadelphia Zoo and helped babysit three siblings. She has also witnessed gorilla breeding and births. Keepers hope Jessie will be a good role model for .Kubatiza and Penny II, the two youngest gorillas in the San Diego troop. She's very gorilla-oriented and is interested in the kids. Kimba Kumba is a whirlwind or gorilla energy. In fact, her name means playful in Swahili. Born at the Cincinnati Zoo on Sept. 17,1986, Kimba Kumba, like Jessie, was raised by her gorilla family. She gets along with other gorillas and is considered to be extremely well-adjusted. Kimba Kumba feels safe and secure with best friend Alvila. She also stands up straight and walks on her feet more than the other gorillas do.

Now that the pair are in San Diego, they're inseparable. Penny II is bonding slowly but surely with her new gorilla family.

Omelet House eggsciting VIDEO With the thousands of coffee shop/ restaurants in North County, it is difficult tofinda place that serves more than just ham and eggs. The Golden Egg Omelet House, located at 316 W. Mission in Escondido, however, offers a truly eggsciting alternative to Denny'sorthoseotherbreakfaststops. The Golden Egg Omelet House offers a selection of 88 different omelets, some of which are stuffed with originality. Many of the offerings are so far out, it is hard to imagine their palatability. On myfirstvisit to the restaurant, I tried the shrimp, avocado, bacon and cheese omelet. The blend worked nicely together, with tender shrimp, crispy bacon and creamy avocado. The dish shows that seafood and eggs make for a good catch. At $5.55, this selection is one you shouldn't let get away. For those that like to order fruit waffles orpancakes for breakfast, The Golden Egg Omelet House has alternatives that break the shells of convention, with five fruit-stuffed omelets. The omelet stuffed with spiced apples, bananas, cinnamon and honey CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 COLLEGIATE GOURMET BY L A R R Y is so good, I almost felt guilty eating i t The mixture of tangy fruit and sweet honey made me feel as if I were stealing a slice of mom * s apple pie for breakfast. The price of $4.35 was reasonable enough to not scramble my pocket book. There are so many selections on the menu that those trying to order will find their brains poached with decisions. Omelets with zucchini, artichokes and chilies are mixed with the traditional faire of ham, bacon and cheese. There are even omelets with chicken livers for those who like soft organs for breakfast. None of the omelets I tried were over done or under done, rather they were all fried to fluffy perfection. If cheese is desired, The Golden Egg Omelet House offers four types to further confuse the customer. Jack, Cheddar, Swiss or American cheeses are all available for omelet aficionados. If, for some strange reason, you can't find the omelet of your taste, BOISJOLIE you can request a special order packagefilledwith your own favorites. Each egg dish is served with grilled French bread or, for an extra 250, Dudley' s famous bread can be substituted. I highly recommend the Dudley's date nut bread as acompanion to your meal. Not only does The Golden Egg Omelet House serve omelets, it also serves a wide variety of other breakfast and lunch foods. Everything from pancakes to huevos rancheros is available for breakfast hounds. Service at The Golden Egg Omelet House is fantastic, even though it does a hearty business on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Waitresses are always ready to add more coffee to your cup or suggest their favorite combinations. If you try The Golden Egg Omelet House, don't be too chicken to order a far-out concoction.

Blatty, in his attempt to be clever, overdoes it with the smarts. I was so lost in all his symbolisms that I had to watch the first part of the flick twice. I still don't get most of them. The exorcist of the movie is father Morning, played by Nicol Williamson. I saw so little of the character I can only guess that he is Blatty*s token do-gooder and devil fighter. How could the movie be called 'The . Exorcist III' without an exorcist? Blatty could take some directoral and editing advice from William Friedkin, who did the original 'Exorcist* This sequel doesn't compare to the original, but what does? I don't know what the hell possessed writer/director Bob Logan to make 'Repossessed.' I'dsay the Devil made him do it, but that isn't giving the Devil enough credit for artistic judgement. The whole movie, which is meant to be an 'Airplane'-like spoof on 'The Exorcist,' is nothing more than one green-puke joke after another. Mixed with tasteless homosexual jokes and celibate priest gags, this moviechokes on its own humor. It just plain isn't funny! Leslie Nielsen, who is the master of slapstick comedy, toasts his reputation as Father Jedediah Mayii, the priest called on to exorcise the demon from Nancy Aglet, played by Linda Blair. Blair's character is a spoof of her original exorcist role that only a ' starving actor would take. I'm not going to talk anymore about this movie because, if you rent it, you won't watch it anyway.

Chapman received 99 of the 160 votes cast in the election. The run-off election was called after Chapman failed to obtain the presidential seat in the April 22 and 23 election by three votes. In order to obtain the seat of president, a candidate must garner 50 percent of the votes plus one vote to constitute a simple majority. "I have mixed feelings about the elections," said Chapman. "I was disturbed by the 50 percent plus one rule. It created a lot of hardships among the small student body." Chapman said that the extra time spent campaigning for the second election could have been used for class study. He also said the smaller number of students voting caused him to be concerned over who the winner might be. Business major William Jungman obtained five post-baccalaureate votes to gain a council seat over opponent John Cave, who received two votes. Jungman is a dentist who practices in Escondido. The turnout, which represented 25 percent of the student population, was 10 percent smaller than that of die April ballot. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt said that traditionally, run-off elections draw a smaller crowd than the first ballots. He also indicated that his department might have undermined the turnout by holding elections on a Wednesday. "I think we out-thought ourselves by moving the election to Tuesday arid Wednesday," he said. "We didn't realize that there were not any Wednesday night classes." Zomalt said he still felt that anybody who wanted to vote had the opportunity to do so, but indicated future elections will be planned after consulting the class schedule. JOSE CHAPMAN/ The A.S. Council will meet during PRESIDENT-ELECT the summer to discuss budgetary problems facing the organization. In the April election, the ballot measure enabling the student government to collect fees from its constituency was turned down. As a result, the victorious Measure B, which affixed a $15 student fee to members of the A.S., could not be implemented. According to Zomalt, the student government needs money for incorporation by the fall semester. "The budget is first priority," said Chapman. The president-elect said that during the summer he and the Council will engage in dialogues on the budget and work on fund-raising activities. Local firm reduces toxic emissions Signet Armorlite cuts 2 5 percent of airborne waste T oxic r eduction p lan ANNUALLY 1987 ANNUALLY 1988 LARRY BOISJOLIE/PIONEER Signet Armorlite, a local eyeglass lens manufacturer that has recently topped the list of toxic emitters in Sail Diego County, wants the surrounding community to view it in a different way. According to the county's Air Pollution Control District, the firm has already cut emissions of methylene chloride by 25 percent, and plans to reduce the discharge of the suspected carcinogen by as much as 90 percent in the next few years. Officials from the APCD estimate that Signet will achieve a 50 percent reduction rate by the end of 1991, and a 75 percent rate of reduction by March 1992. "The pollution reduction program will reduce annual emissions of methylene chloride by 205 tons by January 1992 and 384 tons by March 1994," said Richard Sommerville, air pollution control officer. Signet, which is located about a quartermile west of Cal State San Marcos, was ranked as the top toxic emitter for 1987 and 1988 in a JANUARY OTONS 100 200 EMISSIONS 300 400 500 600 JONATHAN YOUNG/PIONEER report by the Environmental Protection Agency.

NAA r aises $ 200 donation The SDSU North County Chapter of the National Association of Accountants (NAA) at its spring awards banquet held May 1 raised $200 in donations for CSUSM for the formation of its own NAA chapter. Robin Bowan, a CSUSM student, was named the most active club member at the banquet. With student evaluations expected this week, students at Cal State San Marcos are still wondering what has become of last semester's evaluations. According to administrators, evaluations from last semester were not used for retention, tenure, or promotion (RTP) purposes. The questionnaires, filled out by students at the close of last semester, were returned to instructors without being viewed by the university. College officials contend that CSUSM was not obligated to use last semester's evaluations in personnel rehiring; but some feel that the university's intentions with the evaluations was misleading. Victor Rocha, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences said there are two ways student evaluations of teachers can be used. The first is to give student feedback to the instructors so that they can "enhance the quality of instruction." The second use of the evaluations is to aid decision-making in Person- nel Services. 'The sole purpose (of the fall evaluations) was to improve teaching," said Rocha. According to Rocha, evaluations for instructors in his college Were copied and kept for his personal records to have available for review with instructors. Thé originals were then given to tlje individual teachers. No evaluations were placed in personnel files. "He (Rocha) certainly didn't talk to me about studentevaluations," said former CSUSM part-time English' Professor James Mack. "In fact he couldn't find them." Mack said instructors were led to believe that the evaluations would be used in the hiring process for spring semester. He said that, by not placing evaluations in the personnel files, CSUSM is violating union contract provisions. Article 15.14 of the California Faculty Association's Union Contract states that, "Written questionnaire student evaluations shall be required for faculty unit employees who teach." The article states that the evaluation results shall be placed in the faculty unit employee's personnel file. CSUSM officials draw from Article 15.22 ofthe union contract, which indicates that the university is not obligated to review the personnel files for part-time instructors who have taughttwpsem^tQrsQrless.

"The process of interpreting evaluations is still very undefined," said Clark. "We think student evaluations are integral, but we haven't reached a system."

During the past academic year, SDSU North County has shared its library, health services, bookstore and counseling services with CSUSM. The two colleges had originally planned to gradually move many of those student programs that are primarily controlled by SDSU under the wing of CSUSM over the course of next year. The pullout of programs, however, has sped up the process. "Don't assume that cooperation between CSUSM and SDSU will be over," said SDSU spokesperson George Cole. "With the growth of .

The Senate did complete the evaluation form, but was not content with its format far personnel usage.

Warden indicated that the committee has decided on a form that is "somewhat similar" to last semester's to be used this week. Mack said that the forms used last semester were obvious copies of evaluation forms used at another college. 'They were obviously xeroxed and have been used by some other university. They were perfectly acceptable," he said. Mack, who said the results of his evaluations were "stunningly good," believes the university would have looked at his retention in a different light had the surveys been used for personnel purposes. wish to stay away from the main campus. "If students are close to graduating, then we recommend they go to the main campus. If they have 30 units or more left to complete, then we recommend they transfer here," Zomalt said. About 100 SDSU undergraduates attended two separate information sessions last week to learn about their options as continuing undergraduates amidst the closing of their North County campus. Cal State San Marcos officials told those who attended that they were welcome to transfer to the new school, but that they would not get priority in the registration process. The option of concurrent enrollment, wherein SDSU students can take classes at Cal State San Marcos with all the units applying towards their SDSU financial aid, was the best received of the ideas presented. Unfortunately, according to some of the students present, the Cal State San Marcos schedule is either too small, or irrelevant, to make use of current classes. In particular, Accounting and Finance majors at SDSU North County feel that they have no choice but to drive south to finish their programs. The finance students observed that Cal State San Marcos has almost no finance classes, and the Accounting majors were discouraged that the Cal State San Marcos accounting curriculum is still awaiting secondary accreditation. Zomalt said students transferring over completely to CSUSM will be given priority over those concurrently enrolled in both colleges. San Marcos, it makes good sense to try to keep the transition smooth." CSUSM Executive Vice President Richard Rush said that CSUSM is currently negotiating with SDSU over the use of SDSU-run facilities. "Negotiations with SDSU, as always, have been most cordial and helpful. We anticipate things to stay largely the same," said Rush. According to University Library Librarian Bonnie Biggs, the library's collection, including bodes, microfilm and periodicals will remain at the North County site. Biggs also said that the computers will remain on campus. "All the books stay here. We have been blessed," said Biggs. "It's my understanding that the computer labs will stay intact for the next academic year." Rush indicated that some items, like the piano in the Student Lounge, are on loan by SDSU and must be returned. Most of the administration of SDSUNorth County will transferover to the CSUSM side of the parking lot next fall. Last year, the members of the North County campus staff were asked to sign letters of intent, which gave them the opportunity to transfer their positions to CSUSM. According toRush,alloftheSDSU personnel indicated that they would prefer to move to CSUSM. "We don't face the personal tragedy of having to lay people off. We're looking at growth," said Rush. Dean of Student Services Ernest Zomalt said that CSUSM is also expected to take on many of the SDSU Jonathan Young and David Hammond North County campus' students who contributed to this article.

C SUSM Yearbook �1ESDAY, MAY 14, 1991/PIONEER SIGNET CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 statewide environmental watchdog group indicated that Signet is responsible for one percent of California's ozone-depleting emissions. In February of last year, Signet unveiled the $1.5 million plan to reduce emissions, after officials at nearby Palomar College expressed their concerns. After hearing of the amounts of chemicals released into the air, PalomarSuperintendent/PresidentGeorge Boggs requested a computerriskassessment test to evaluate possible effects of the emissions on the public. Signet countered the request by ordering a more accurate and costly $100,000 actual assessment of the plant's emissions. "I give them a lot of credit," said Dick Smith, deputy director of the APCD. 'They just said, 'let's spend extra money.'" The risk assessment uses assumptions that overestimate the chance of contracting cancer to assure that the actualriskis lower, said officials from the APCD. For example, the maximum residential risk is calculated for a hypothetical person who resides at the point of maximum emissions impact 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for 70 years. The test, conducted by Envirologic Data of San Diego, revealed that emissionsfromthe Signet facility do not pose any imminent or short term danger to public health and safety. However, it did show a possible increased cancer risk from long term exposure to methylene chloride emissions. The news of Signet's toxic reductions comes on the heels of an effort by the company to assist CSUSM in its Business Partners Program. Although no formal announcement has been made by the College of Business, a Signet official confirmed the company's application to the program. "We have gone in and signed the papers and have even sent in our donation already," said a Signet spokesperson. According to the source, Signet sent its application to the college on March 5. A $1,000donation qualified them as a partner in the Business Partners Program. The program will link each College of Business student with a local businessman who will serve as a mentor. The program will be fully implemented next fall with four different levels of business partners. As of press time, only HewlettPackard has been announced by the university as a business partner.

Yet, upon closer examination, the company might be on the side of the good guys. For 1987, the lens manufacturer steamed 450 tons of methylene chloride (a suspected carcinogen) into the atmosphere. The figures OUR VIEWS STAFF Events demonstrate supply and demand In "Principles of Economics," business maors learn about the most basic of market forces: supply and demand.

Then, in San Marcos is that many of the students have terms of our stated supply and demand theories, more years of successfully doing business DAVID HAMMOND management than some of the faculty have years just studying i t The new standards could serve to balance the faculty. The academic, inexperienced doctors could be complemented by the less formally trained, but highly experienced practitioners. In terms of our opening economic theory, this is the supplier (business schools) adjusting to the new demands of the buyers (employers). Finally this week, the latest Michigan State University job market survey was released. Business and computer science graduates will be in greater demand than supply. That means that starting salaries for Cal State San Marcos business graduates could be very attractive. Job market surveys are relevant because they tell us what is happening now (who is getting hired) and what will begin to happen in the future (what subjects will be in demand). Now the astute reader is experiencing some dissonance at this point I blasted business education at both the graduate and undergraduate level, and now I am admitting that there will be more jobs for business majors than business graduates in the near future. However, considering the source, there are really no surprises here: I am working on my MBA with the hopes of teaching college business courses. As a non-doctorate, it is to my advantage to push subscription to the more liberal AACSB standards. As an MBA candidate, it is to my advantage to quell the tide of colleagues with this credential. Finally, as a future faculty member, I want every qualified student to major in business. You see, no one understands better than a business major the powerful economic forces of supply and demand. EDITORIAL for 1988, which were released last year, indicated that those numbers hadrisenby nearly 100 tons. Thesefigureshave placed Signeton the top of county's toxic emitter lists. With all these statistics, one would think that Lex Luthor and the Joker were at Signet's controls with the intent of foiling our heroes, the Air Pollution Control District and the Environmental Protection Agency. : ~ Thihfcagalri* ;Th6 rftaihfviflains in this environmental battle are the APCD and the EPA themselves. Wearing the tights of the governmental good guys, both agencies are examples of environmental apathy in action. In 1980, under the Clean Air Act, the EPA was given the responsibility of determining what toxic substances to regulate. The EPA has performed this task dreadfully. Potentially toxic substances are not researched thoroughly, if at all, as to their potential effects on humans. Of the nearly 70,000 chemicals now in use by businesses, less than 2,000 have been properly tested. When the EPA says that a "substance has not been proven harmful," businesses are able to still use chemicals, like methylene chloride, and still remain within the EPA's substandard regulations. The APCD is equally at fault for propagating the problem. Despite a recent State Supreme Court ruling giving counties the right to regulate potentially dangerous substances, the APCD still follows the EPA's mediocre guidelines. Foreseeing possible future regulations and responding to the local college community's sensitivity to the subject of toxic emissions, Signet is making an effort to regulate methylene chloride usage on its own accord. This year the company is moving down the list of top county emitters by reducing emissions 25 percent By 1994, the company will be off the list by miles. When you consider that this aggressive emissions reduction program was instigated by Signet due to community response and not by the APCD or the EPA, it is apparent that the real bad guys are the agencies that should know better. �OPINION TUESDAY, MAY 14, 1991/PLONEER 7 Writing mandate, minorities top issues Student evaluations should count less PIONEER 250-2 So.

ALICE WALKER, 'THE COLOR PURPLE' system, but not forced by the faculty. I believe that some students have legitimate concerns about the writing requirement and teaching goals. While others disagree with the writing requirement because they do not want to do the work, some complain about the workload. CSU San Marcos should retain the writing requirement Also, CSU San Marcos should balance teaching with applied and theoretical research so that 50 perfect of the faculty's time is devoted to teaching and the other 50 percent be devoted to applied and theoretical research. If the university aspires to these principles, then we, as students, will be better prepared to either enter the labor market or graduate school. Thus students and the local community benefit in having a well-rounded institution of higher learning that serves all and not just a few individuals. There were two opinions I disagreed with that appeared in Pioneer on April 30. These opinions were the writing requirement ("Your Views") and instructional goalsCTeachinggoals need evaluation").

DAVIS/CSUSM STUDENT writing courses to graduate and where students research should be emphasized in the CSU take mostly scantron examinations instead of essay examinations which make students use analytical and critical skills? Personally, I do not want to be a robot and regurgitate information and play a multiple guess game with scantron examinations which do not help develop better analytical, critical, and writing skills. Although, I concede on the argument made by Lora Coad ("Writing requirement has become a sore spot") that some instructors are unimaginative about writing assignments. Her argument about making excuses for returning students being thrown into intensive writing assignments because they lack the skills is an absurd excuse. The real world also has assignments and duties one must complete to be successful at life. The university is a mere training ground for the grueling graduate work and/or labor market. The other opinion article that I disagree with is David Hammond's editorial titled 'Teaching goals need evaluation." . Mr. Hammond asserts that many students are exhausted with the amount of work required for upper division courses. I believe that the assignments are hard and challenging, but is not life or attaining an advanced degree hard and challenging? Another point, where I disagree with Mr. Hammond, is with the way the faculty is retained. He states that student evaluations should account for 75 percent of the retention/promotion YOUR VIEWS Minorities sparse in CSUSM classes �• Baseball heroes still being molded SEAN iMEftil/COh Baseball fans of t greattimefor the spor "The Great Americ Though we may not i ball of the '90s is fille and heroes that will American Pastime ERNIE MARTINEZ/CONTRIBUTOR •••• • j .—/• , • •• • I can remember as far back as the age of three-years-old.

"What we try to do here is get players to the next level by strengthening ability, talent and mechanics," said Jim S ullivan, Hitting Zone owner. The next level could mean getting into Little League or acceptance into a college program from high school. The Hitting Zone is not just an indoorbatting facility, its purpose is to coach batting. Only a couple months past a year old, the business has*about 45 to 50 students and a few success stories already. Why? Because this unique facility flexesthe brain muscle as much as the arm muscles.

Sullivan is quick to stand and prove his point He sets his body up in the normal batting stance and explains howrightand wrong information is viewed by the students. A quick lesson of myths and facts shows Sullivan's love and personal thrill for the game. He says 70 percent of his students have learned to roll their wrists as they swing the bat, or fully extend their arms throughout the swing. Sullivan explains that these two common misconceptions of hitting a ball is corrected by watching the pros. "If you can find it in the greatest batters of all time, then I will use i t... I'll be satisfied," he said. A slide show, a number of video clips and even the old favorite sport ofcollecting baseball cards prove the facts that correct many myths. "It is fact," Sullivan said. "This is what happens. There is no guessing. "The hardest thing is when the kids go back to the field and their coaches tell them differently." Sullivan explains that kids arefrequentlytorn between his views and the views of their coaches and have to make a decision for themselves. Some of those batters that have followed the advice of Sullivan have not only made it on base, but have continued to round the diamond. He has a proud list of success stories, garnered in the few months he's been open, but Sullivan says there's no greater reward then being able to hit that home run.

How could America's Greatest Pastime come down to the greed of the ball player wanting more money than the guy who's playing next to him? This is a team sport It takes all 24 players to work together to win a pennant, but sometime you wouldn't know i t Some say the fiasco of these high priced players started with the California Angels' signing ofpitcher Mark Langston to a $16 million contract last year. A $ 16 million contract, huh? Of course, owner Gene Autry had one thing in mind, and that was the hope for a championship season. Langston instead had a disappointing year and still continues not to shine unlike he I Have a good summer, Fred! EXPLORE did before he signed for big money. How does a sport with so much memorable history behind it bail out of what seems to be an upcoming economic problem? Let the highpriced players finish their contracts out, then put a salary cap on them. Those who don't want to play for less money will have to find work elsewhere. To fill the void, there's thousands of young, aspiring minor league ball players who would love to get a shot in the bigs and become the new heroes our era. Something has got to happen. They say in a few years, we'll be chocking out bucks to watch the world series on pay-for-view television. C'mon, let's keep tradition. We can't lose a sport like baseball that has given us so many memories and so many stars to remember. What about the all-star games, the Championship play-offs and the fall classic known as the World Series. They're too precious to let go or see slide away. What happened to the dynasties of baseball? Gone. How can one forget the Cincinnati Reds' "big red machine" of the 1970s, the Dodger Blue wrecking crew, the New York Yankees' Bronx bombers, thePhiladelphia Phillies and the Pittsburgh Pirates? Those powerhouses are long since gone. Let'sbring therealexcitementback to the game like the goose bumps of hearing Vin Scully call the Dodgers' Kirk Gibsons' 1988 World Series homerun in game one against the Oakland As. I believe baseball is here to stay, but it has to take a new direction. It's going to hit something and unless something doesn't change, the sport many love could be headed for problems. Hopefully it won't hurt the fans as far as their wallets are concerned.

By the first pitch of the fourth inning, I was ready for a hot dog. The stale bun and indeterminable meat product inside made me wonder why baseball and hot dogs are inexorably linked. The flavor of the dog was crying "foul" in my mouth by the fifth inning, so I bought another Schlitz. It was a little less tasteless than before. I thought for sure I could get on base during the sixth with an order of ball park nachos. Thechips themselves had no flavor and the sauce had the watery consistency of the goo on the dugout floor created by tobaccochewing pitchers. Yet, they tasted better than anything so far. Another beer was ordered before $ 4* ^n the seventh-inning stretch/I emitted a large belch and made room for more baseball snacks. During the eighth, I decided to give the hot dogs another try. This dog, for some unexplainable reason, was the best I'dever tasted. I followed it down with a box of popcorn, an ice Cream sandwich, a churro and some cotton candy. All were bursting with flavor. I tried the Cracker Jacks again in the ninth, but got a crummy prize. The total cost of the day's game was $47.20. Service was excellent, with vendors of all kinds roaming the stands, and the atmosphere hit a homerun in my book. For those of you who like to go to the ball park for just the food, you can find better quality at a nearby movie theatre, circus or swap meet. But, none of those places have vendors that can hit a bull's eye with a bag of peanuts at a hundred yards. ^ Money Hungry Waiters and Waitresses Looking for a change? Be your own boss.

Who among us can look at that certain painting or photograph depicting a glistening ocean, blue sky and a lone white sail at the horizon without longing for distant shores? What is perhaps man's oldest mode of travel on the waters of the world still creates a lot of excitement today. The passion for sailing could clearly be felt at the May 3 opening ceremonies for the 1991 International America's Cup Class Championship at Seaport Village in San Diego. The America's Cup Committee, in conjunction with the San Diego Port District, built an International Village, adjacent to Seaport Village, and a gigantic stage on which opening and closing ceremonies were presented and entertainment throughout the week took place. Opening events drew a good-sized crowd of San Diegans and sailing enthusiasts from all over the world, who gave the suntanned crews and their skippers from six countries a hearty welcome. After addresses from San Diego Mayor Maureen O'Connor and other dignitaries, ceremonies concluded with a truly spectacular firework displays. Racing on the approximately 22 nautical mile course off Point Loma began the next day, and continued daily until Saturday. Nine boats in all were entered: U.S.A., three (including Stars and Strips); Italy, two; New Zealand, one; Japan, one for the first time; Spain, one; and France with one boat. Fleet races, including all boats in some, went on for the first five days, semi-finals took place Friday and finals occured Saturday. Italy^s IIMor di Venezia, doing well throughout the week, won the semi-finals and went on to run a perfect race to win against New Zealand in the finals. Award ceremonies took pace Saturday evening and concluded with another show of breathtaking fireworks. But it's not over y et Races will go on for an entire year. The exciting events of the past week were just the kick-off for "The Year of the Cup" in San Diego, culminating with the competition for the coveted "America's Cup" by May 1992. Even though Dennis Conner withdrew Stars and Stripes out of this year's race before the finals, perhaps Mayor O'Conner's quip from her opening speech "... and may the best Dennis Conner win" will still turn out to be prophetic. Championship sails into area The same breeze that ruffled the flags in downtown San Diego filled the sails of the yachts participating in the'International America's Cup Class World Championship races this week.

'Mortal Thoughts' not cliché 'Mortal Thoughts' is a murder mystery that is far from being a tired cliché. It involves the audience from the first frame and keeps them guessing until the closing credits. Demi Moore stars as Cynthia Kellogg, who is being interrogated in a police station by Harvey Keitel. Through her viewpoint, we see the story of her best friend Joyce Urbanski (Glenne Headly) and her friend's husband (Moore's real-life husband Bruce Willis). When Cynthia's friend married James Urbanski, there was trouble from the start. His abusive behavior becomes worse as the years pass and his wife often talks of killing him. One night at a carnival, a druggedout James pushes his final button and, as Cynthia tells the police, her friend slits his throat with a knife. Together, they dump the body in ariverand vow never to tell anyone what happened. natural as Cynthia. She adopts a Brooklyn accent that sounds like she was born with it.
