No. I W hat is Plan 91 Our Secret Plan by Daniel Quinn Aside from being one of the worst sci-fi movies ever made, Plan 9 from Outer Space is a home-grown alternative newspaper. Tired of reading the During the Second World War the people of Germany invested same old rehashed "things-are-so-messed-up-and-we-don't-know-why-but-buyheavily in a secret plan. This plan was so secret that many Germans ing-this-product-will-make-you-feel-better" crap in magazines and newspapers managed to keep it a secret even from themselves. Except in the highest (not to mention the vast mind-sucking wasteland called TV), we decided to start military and political circles, the plan was never discussed at all. And even our own paper. when it was discussed in high circles, it was discussed in a veiled way. The purpose of Plan 9 is to expand the discussion of the nature, direction and The plan I'm talking about was, of course, the plan to annihilate the future of our society beyond the narrow confines of the American "left" and Jewish race. Though many of them liked to remain silent about it, the people "right." Plan 9 maintains that the mindless consumerism of the past 50 years has of Germany were on the whole behind Hitler in his ambition to rid the world devoured our planet, stolen the future from our children and probably condemned of Jews. They invested a lot in this secret plan. They invested their con­ us, along with a large number of other species, to the ash bin of evolutionary sciences. They invested their place among the family of nations. They invested history. their self-respect. Plan 9 is dedicated to beginning the process of true education among a lost and confused people: us. That education begins by taking control over our own 'opinions," so that we may make truly informed judgements on the ways that we wish to live in the post-consumerist age. As a result, Plan 9 does not discuss which toilet bowl cleaner is 'friendlier to the environment," but whether or not we can afford to use such products at all. As a result, Plan 9 does not accept advertising from commercial interests. We are supported entirely by goodness of the people around us. Plan 9 believes that much of our current technology represents a devil's Well, as we all know, the secret plan failed— the German people lost their and bargain, where short term benefits (whiter teeth, fresher breath, "freeway investment.

Sometimes referred to, in its extjreme form, as "hate speech," "offensive speech" is (we suppose) any verbal or written expression that is found offensive or insulting by someone. Controver­ sies have raged in communities around the country about what to do about offensive speech. Some think that banning such speech will solve the problem. The Constitutions of the State of California and of the United States state that no laws shall be passed limiting freedom of speech. The word "except" does not appear anywhere in either document. Unfortu­ nate as if may seem, this means that neo-Nazis, racists, homophobes, etc., have the right to say their piece. Although there is no doubt that words like "kike," "nigger" and "faggot," are offensive to most people, censoring or banning such speech won't make the problems that these words express go away. Wake up, people! You can't use force to stop hate. Force only breeds hate and fear. Force has never solved anything, settled any issue or ended any hatred. The use of law or policy to ban certain types of expression is only another kind of force. You can't legislate hate, fear or ignorance out of existence. And you can't stop racism, sexism or homophobia by preventing racists, sexists or homophobes from ex­ pressing themselves. So how do you end hatred and fear? By education. People will stop hating and fearing each other when, and only when, they understand the fundamental humanity of all people. We stand here at the cross­ roads in the evolution of humanity, with a choice to either learn to all live together in peace or to perish. But we'll never learn to live together by banning 'offensive speech." Censuring speech is one thing, censoring speech is another. We should always strive to critically examine 'offensive speech" in a constructive, educat­ ing manor; we should never attempt to censor speech no matter how offensive. All people must have the right to express their feelings. To deny that right to anyone is to deny them their fundamental humanity. Nothing will ever change unless we can openly discuss our problems. Plan 9 is dedicated to this principle. Interested in Helping?

Plan 9 was first published last March while I was working at the nation's newest university, Cal State San Mar­ cos. The first university to be built in the United States since 1969, CSUSM represented something not seen by an entire generation of educators: the oppor­ tunity to build a university “from the ground up." As a result, CSUSM was founded upon the highest academic and social ideals. It was to be the "univer­ sity of the 21st century," preparing students "to live cooperatively and competitively in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity, economic and governmental differences, shared resources, ecological restraints and technological change" (CSUSM Mission State­ ment). This was to be a campus which had learned from the mistakes of the past, eschewed artificial distinctions between faculty, staff and students, and used new technology to its fullest extent; a campus which thrived on discussion, innovation and new ideas. Diversity, tolerance, academic freedom, global awareness and multiculturalism were all catch words frequently used in the same sentence with “CSU San Marcos." Unfortunately, such was not to be. Somewhere along the line, the campus came under the control of a power-hungry bureaucracy, whose goal was (and is) to bring as much of the campus under its direct control as possible. In order to control the expres­ sion of ideas on campus, policies banning posting and limiting free speech were instituted by executive fiat. Students, as usual, were treated as second-class citi­ zens, and faculty were tolerated as poorly behaved children. The idea for Plan 9 came to me one morning at 2:30 while I was watching a CNN Headline News piece on the so-called "zine scene" (don't ask why I was watching CNN in the wee hours of the morning). "Gee," I thought, 'I could publish my own paper!" Within days the first issue of Plan 9, four 8.5 x 11 xeroxed pages, hit the campus. The resulting furor was encouraging, so I pub­ lished another issue. There were four issues in all, covering topics rangingfrom state Senator Bill Craven's racist remarks about undocumented workers (He referred to them as being “on the lower scale of our humanity." Craven, who introduced the bill that created CSUSM, is considered the "Founding Father" of the campus, and as such is considered a sacred cow by the administration.), to freedom of the press, student activism in the 1960's, gays in the military, health effects of exposure to bureaucracy and satiri­ cal pieces on students caught in the administration building without proper papers. In the last issue I took the university president to task for his manifest failure to uphold the campus' mission and for allowing the suppression of the First Amendment at a public university. Two months after Plan 9's debut, I was fired. No reason was given for my dismissal. Of course, I understood the real reason behind my sudden and unexplained termination. Plan 9 had been critical of the administration's handling of the Craven affair, as well as other issues. Plan 9 railed against the explosion of bureaucracy on campus (With a ratio of one staff person to every six students, the administration of CSUSM is bigger than at most universities four times its size.). Plan 9 also staunchly supported the rights of students and encouraged the faculty to stand up for the ideals encoded in the university's Mission Statement. Plan 9, as far as the upper administration was concerned, had caused nothing but trouble.Plan 9, as far as the upper admin­ istration was concerned, had to go. So I was expendable. Aside from the sheer relief of being rid of me and Plan 9, the administration got the added benefit of using my termination as a demonstration of what could happen to you if you rocked the boat. I've been unemployed ever since, but I don't regret what I did. I felt that I had no other choice than to stand up for what I believed to be true/regardless of the consequences. There is no other way for the truth to prevail. s n o is s e s s o p o n e n ig a m i “I’m tellin’ you boyif I catch readin’ this Plan 9 filth one more time, I’m gonna have to haul you in!” �Gays are Just Like People INVASION OF THE by Michael Swanson When I was a child, I was never confused or bewildered about my sexual orientation. Indeed, I thought that I would definitely be damned by God, and, therefore, I kept away from all who attracted me. As I was growing up, however, I realized that my sexuality was not the butt of one of God's cruel jokes. I also abandoned my insistent, but foolish, theory that He might be testing me and my faith. Rather, I focused my energy on more important issues. Issues that I will address here for all. First of all, I must make my intentions clear. They are only to help all others in my situation to become proud of who they are, and, most importantly, to try to relate homosexuality to heterosexuals who misun­ derstand and/or oppose it. I will try to accomplish this by addressing issues which I believe to be most misconceived. tion, some contradiction, or even compromise to this statement. I remember reading about David and Jonathan's love, even about the "disciple that Jesus loved; *but no matter how hard I may have tried to convince myself, in the end, I always knew it wasn't the sort of love, I felt for a man. It took many painful years before I could accept the Bible again, without believing it to be that of a pagan's God. And although the Scriptures don't fully support me, I do not oppose them. For those who enjoy quoting the passages at me, I would like to remind them that the Bible also encourages all of God's children to love each other and accept each other. Spirituality means acceptance of all people, no matter their skin color, race, or sexual orientation. ILLEGAL ALIENS CREEPING HORR from south of the Border...

Viacom (which owns MTV, VH1 and Showtime, see sidebar, next page), though the smaller of the two companies, was to be the buying organization, offering $8.2 billion in stock and cash for Paramount. The combined value of the two com­ panies has been estimated at $18 billion. This merger would create the fourth largest me­ dia conglomerate in the world, and the second largest US-based media corporation (behind Time-Wamer), with annual revenues of over $6.2 m0untbillion.

With such resources, Paramount-Viacom would be in a position to compete directly with Time-Wamer Inc., which has a similar range of holdings (see sidebar next page). The merger announcement set off a frenzy of speculation on Wall Street, driving stock values up and then down, as rumors circulated that Ted Turner of Turner Broadcasting and Barry Diller of the QVC home shopping network were going to attempt to make 'hostile* counter bids for Paramount. Turner ultimately bowed out, leaving QVC to make a $9 5 billion offer. QVC, itself a relatively small company, is backed financially by the first V B S gl and third la , ies in l|U ||j|£ tU ^ country: Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI) and Comcast Corp. Though the QVC bid would raise the value of Paramount stocks, Paramount Chairman Martin Davis and his long time friend Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone, were adamant that the Viacom-Paramount mer8er would take place. *n orc* to weaken QVC's bid, Redstone and er en^sted the help of Blockbuster Entertainment Corp. and Cox Enterprises. Each company pledged to invest $600 million in Viacom, increasing Viacom's cash base by the $1.2 billion needed for it to match the QVC offer. As Plan 9 was going to press, the Los Angeles Times announced that Nynex Corp., the nation's fourth largest telehone company (serving New York and New England), had invested another $1-2 billion in Viacom, further strengthening their bid for Paramount. If the merger takes place, these companies will have major in- ^ _ vestment in­ terests in ParamountViacom, creating, in effect, an even larger media conglomerate. Blockbuster, which operates 3,200 Blockbuster Video stores, as well as Sound Warehouse and Music Plus record stores, has an annual revenue of $1.2 billion. Cox Enterprises, which owns five TV and 13 radio sta­ tions, several major newspapers, and Cox Cable (the six largest US cable company), has annual revenues of C 8K Billions of Dollars Sources: Hoover’s Handbook of American Business 1993 & The Los Angeles Times Continued next page It Believes in a Free Press, not a Corporate Press!- �O ctober 1993 P e5 p ag Viacom-Paramount Merger (Cont) $2.5 billion. Nynex, which is the largest cable TV operator in Great Britain, has annual revenues of $13.25 billion. Whoever finally buys Paramount, several things are clear. First of all, Paramount will be tied to a large cable services & TV network company, whether it is Viacom/Cox/Nynex or QVC/TCI/Comcast. Why the interest from the cable companies? Both Viacom and QVC have been pioneers in the realm of "interactive" TV, where viewers can press a button on their remote to select viewing options. In the near future, interactive TV will include the ability to select plot lines in shows, buy goods, vote in polls, etc. In order to provide these services, it will be necessary to set up transmitting, as well as receiving capabilities for each TV. Cable companies have the resources and know-how to do this. That's where the future is for Paramount and its purchasing company. The resulting conglomerate will have all the facilities needed to create, produce and distribute and control its interactive multimedia programming. And when the much-heralded infor- What They Control Viacom mation 'superhighway* is complete, they'll be ready to pour their programming into your tube. Of course, interactive TV is just a transitional phase. The ultimate goal is interactive virtual reality television (VRTV). Three core technologies are required to make VRTV a reality: high-tech production facilities, inter­ active cable switching systems and VR hardware. When the virtual reality revolution comes, Paramount-Whatever will be in an excellent position to lead it, possessing the two most vital elements. VR hardware can be purchased from manufacturers, such as Sony and Matsushita. These companies them­ selves lack only cable distribution channels, so they too are well placed to lead the VRTV revolution. By the time that the VRTV revolution is upon us, there will be even fewer media corporations than there are now. Don't be surprised if Sony and Matsushita attempt to buy a major cable company like TCI or Comcast. Expect most of the major media companies to begin swallowing up little virtual reality and multimedia companies. The Paramount-Viacom merger is just the latest in what will be an accelerating trend as the computer, telecommunications and media industries converge. What it bodes for our society no one seems to care. (Annual f b v e n u e :$ i.f Zen TV MTV Network Nickelodeon/Nick at Nite j The Comely Network {50%-Time-Wamerj .

Virtual Reality is a set of technologies designed to create an artificial, but realistic, reality using computers. Users typically wear a VR headset containing miniature video displays and headphones. Some systems include glove devices so that the user can manipulate the virtual environment and gettactilefeedback. Usersare immersed in a computer generated reality, unaware of their real surroundings. To date, VR technology has been limited by the processing power of computers. But since processing speeds are doubling about every year, by the year 2000, virtual reality will be a mass marketable technology. To see what VR looks like, watch the movie The LawnmowerMan, available on video. If you’re curious astowhat the VR futurewill look like, the Futurological Congress, by Stanislaw Lem, provides a chilling look a future based on arti­ ficial reality.

Source: Christian Science Monitor �p lan1 October 1993 Page 6 Racism Is OK Against Indians by Ward Churchill During the past couple of seasons, there has been an increasing wave of controversy regarding the names of professional sports teams like the Atlanta "Braves," Clevefend 'Indians," Washington “Redskins," and Kansas City "Chiefs." The issue extends to the names of college teams like Florida State University 'Seminoles," University of Illinois “Fighting lllini," and so on, right on down to high school outfits like the Lamar (Colorado) "Savages." Also involved have been team adoption of “mascots,” replete with feathers, buckskins, beads, spears and “ warpaint” (some fans have opted to adorn themselves in the same fashion), and nifty little “pep’ gestures like the "Indian Chant” and "Tomahawk Chop.” A substantial number of American Indians have protested that use of native names, images and symbols as sports team mascots and the like is, by definition, a virulently racist practice. Given the historical relationship between Indians and non-Indians during what has been called the 'Conquest of America,' American Indian Move­ ment leader (andAmerican Indian Anti-Defamation Council founder) Russell Means has compared the practice to contemporary Germans n aming their soccer teams the must be just as hearty in their endorsement of the follow­ ing ideas— the logic used to defend the defamation of by American Indians—should help us all really start yukking it up. First, as a counterpart to the Redskins, we need an NFL team called “Niggers" to honor Afro-Americans. Halftime festivities for fans might include a simulated stewing of the opposing coach in a large pot while players and cheerleaders dance around it, garbed in leopard skins and wearing fake bones in their noses. This concept obviously goes along with the kind of gaiety attending the Chop, but also with the actions of the Kansas City Chiefs, whose team members— prominently including black team members lately appeared on a poster looking “fierce" and “savage" by way of wearing Indian regalia. Just a bit of harmless 'morale boosting," says the Chiefs' front office. You bet. So that the newly-formed Niggers sports club won't end up too out of sync while expressing the “spirit” and “identity" of Afro-Americans in the above fashion, a baseball franchise—let's call this one the “Sambos'— should be formed. How about a basketball team called the “Spearchuckers?” A hockey team called the “ Jungle Bun- We need an NFL team called “Niggers” to honor Afro-Americans. How about a basketball team called the “Spearchuckers?”A hockey team called the “Jungle Bunnies?” Hispanics? They can be represented by the Galveston “Greasers” and the San Diego “Spies.” “ Jews," “Hebrews," and 'Yids,' while adorning their uni­ forms with grotesque caricatures of Jewish faces taken from the Nazis' anti-Semitic propaganda of the 1930s. Numerous demonstrations have occurred in conjunction with games—most notably during the November 15,1992 match-up between the Chiefs and Redskins in Kansas City— angry Indians and their supporters. by In response, a number of players— especially African Americans and other minority athletes— have been trotted out by professional team owners like Ted Turner, as well as university and public school officials, to announce that they mean not to insult but to honor native people. They have been joined by the television networks and most major newsp apers, all of which have editorialized that Indian discomfort with the situation is "no big deal," insisting that the whole thing is just 'good, clean fun.' The country1 n eeds more such fun, they've argued, and “a few d isgruntled Nafive Americans" have no right to undermine the nation's enjoyment of its leisure time by complaining. This is especially the case, some have argued, 'in hard times like these." It has even been contended that Indian outrage at being systematically degraded— rather than the degradation itself— creates 'a serious barrier to the sort of intergroup communication so necessary in a multicultural society such as ours.' Okay, let's communicate. We are frankly dubious that those advancing such positions really believe their own rhetoric, but, just for the sake of argument, let's accept the premise that they are sincere. If what they say is true, then isn't it time we spread such 'inoffensiveness" and "good cheer' around among all groups so that every­ body can participate equally in fostering the round of national laughs they call for? Sure it is—the country can't have too much fun or "intergroup* involvement—so the more, the merrier. Simple consistency demands that any­ one who thinks the Tomahawk Chop is a swell pastime “We just love the convenience of driving! In fact, we love it so much that we’re going to do it until the air is unbreathable, the forests are de­ stroyed by acid rain, our lungs arejDolluted by poison...Why, we’re going to drive until every last drop of •r oil has been sucked from ^ ^3 the ground. After that, who cares? We’ll be dead by then!” nies?" Maybe the "essence” of these teams could be depicted by images of tiny black faces adorned with huge pairs of lips. The players could appear on TV every week or so gnawing on chicken legs and spitting watermelon seeds at one another. Catchy, eh? Well, there's "nothing to be upset about,' according to those who love wearing 'war bonnets" to the Super Bowl or having “Chief Illiniwik' dance around the sports arenas of Urbana, Illinois. And why stop there? There are plenty of other groups to include. “Hispanics?" They can be "represented”by the Galveston “Greasers'ind San Diego "Spies," at least until the Wisconsin “Wetbacks" and Baltimore “Beaners”get off the ground. Asian Americans? How about the “Slopes," “Dinks, *“Gooks,*and “Zipperheads?" Owners of the latter making up the lexicon of American racism. Have we communicated yet? Let's get just a little bit real here. The notion of "fun” embodied in rituals like the Tomahawk Chop must be understood for what it is. There's not a single non-Indian example used above which can be considered socially acceptable in even the most marginal sense. The reasons are obvious enough. So why is it different where American Indians are concerned? One can only conclude that, in contrast to the other groups at issue, Indians are (falsely) perceived as being too few, and therefore too weak, to defend themselves effectively against racist and otherwise offensive behavior. Fortunately, there are some glimmers of hope. A few teams and their fans have gotten the message and have responded appropriately. Stanford University, which opted to drop the name "Indians" from Stanford, has experienced no resulting drop-off in attendance. Meanwhile, the local newspaper in Portland, Oregon recently decided its long­ standing editorial policy prohibiting use of racial epithets derogatory team should include Redskins, for in­ n ames. The s tance, are now referred to as "the Washi ngton team," and will eontinue to be de­ scribed in this way until the franchise adopts an inoffensive moniker (newspaper sales in Portland have suffered no decline as a result). Such examples are to be applauded and encouraged. They stand as figurative beacons in the night, proving beyond all doubt that it is quite possible to indulge in the pleasure of athletics without accepting blatant racism into the bargain. VASHINCTON BEDSKINS Historical Genocide Between the 1880s and the 1980s, nearly half of all Native American children were coercively transferred from their own families, communities, and cultures to those of the conquering society. This was done through compulsory attendance at remote boarding schools, often hundreds of miles from their homes, where native chil- Now, don’t go getting “overly sensitive” out there. None of this is demeaning or insulting, at least not when it’s being done to Indians. teams might get their logo ideas from editorial page cartoons printed in the nation's newspapers during World War II: slanteyes, buck teeth, big glasses, but nothing racially insulting or derogatory, according to the editors and artists involved at the time. Indeed, this Second World War-vintage stuff can be seen as just another barrel of laughs, at least by what current editors say are their 'local standards’ concerning American Indians. Let's see. Who's been left out? Teams like the Kansas City 'Kikes,' Hanover 'Honkies,' San Leandro 'Shylocks," Daytona "Dagos," and Pittsburgh “Polacks" will fill a certain social void among white folk. Have a religious belief? Let's all go for the gusto and gear up the Milwaukee "Mackerel Snappers" and Hollywood "Holy Rollers." The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame can be rechristened the "Drunken Irish" or 'Papist Pigs." Issues of gender and sexual preference can be addressed through creation of teams like the St. Louis “Sluts,” Boston "Bimbos," Detroit “Dykes," and the Fresno “Fags.”Howaboutthe Gainesville "Gimps" and Richmond "Retards," so the physically and mentally impaired won't be excluded from our fun and games? Now, don't go getting 'overly sensitive" out there. None of this is demeaning or insulting, at least not when it's being done to Indians. Just ask the folks who are doing it, or their apologists like Andy Rooney in the national media. They'll tell you— in fact they have been telling as you— that there's been no harm done, regardless of what their victims think, feel, or say. The situation is exactly the same as when those with precisely the same mentality used to insist that Step 'n' Fetchit was okay, or Rochester on the Jack Benny Show, or Amos and Andy, Charlie Chan, the Frito Bandito, or any of the other cutsey symbols dren were kept for years on end while being systematically “deculturated" (indoctrinated to think and act in the manner of Euro Americans rather than as Indians). It was also accomplished through a pervasive foster home and adoption program-including "blind" adoptions, where children would be permanently denied information as to who they were/are and where they'd come from— placing native youths in non-Indian homes. The express purpose of all this was to facilitate a U.S. governmental policy to bring about the "assimilation" (dissolution) of indigenous societies. In other words, In­ dian cultures as such were to be caused to disappear. Such policy objectives are directly contrary to the United Na­ tions 1948 Convention on Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide, an element of international law �Racism (cont.) Our Secret Plan (Cont.) arising from the Nuremberg proceedings. The forced 'transfer of the children" of a targeted ‘racial, ethnical, or religious group’ is explicitly prohibited as a genocidal activity under the Convention's second article. don't teach our children this plan, but they know all about it by the time they reach the middle of their schooling. It's The Plan. It's there in place, and we're investing everything we have in it. We're investing our future in it, our children's future in it— genera­ for tions to come. We may actually be investing the future of the human race itself in this plan. Our secret plan is this: We're going to go on consuming the world until there's no more to con­ sume. This does not preclude consuming it "wisely" or consuming it as slowly as possible. It doesn't preclude supporting every conceivable conservation initiative. It doesn't preclude supporting every con­ ceivable means of recycling. We're going to recycle, we're going to conserve— but we're also going to go on consuming until there's no more to consume. We don't know when it will all be gone. We don't want to know— as the people of Germany didn't just want to know what happened to their Jewish neigh­ bors when the Gestapo carried them away. One thing we do know, however: It won't hap­ pen in our lifetime. It probably won't happen in our children's lifetime. It may not even happen in our grandchildren's lifetime. I hope you won't think I'm being self-righteous or The Genocide Convention makes it a 'crime against humanity" to create conditions leading to the destruction of an identifiable human group, as such. Yet the BIA has utilized the government's plenary prerogatives to negoti­ ate mineral leases 'on behalf of' Indian peoples paying a fraction of standard royalty rates. The result has been "super profits" for a number of preferred U.S. corpora­ tions. Meanwhile, Indians, whose reservations ironically turned out to be in some of the most mineral-rich areas of North America, which makes us, the nominally wealthiest segment of the continent's population, live in dire poverty. By the government's own data in the mid-1980s, Indians received the lowest annual and lifetime per capita incomes of any aggregate population group in the United States. Concomitantly, we suffer the highest rate of infant mortality, death by exposure and malnutrition, disease, and the like. Under such circumstances, alcoholism and other escapist forms of substance abuse are endemic in the Indian community, a situation which leads both to a general physical debilitation of the population and a catastrophic accident rate. The average life expectancy of a reservation-based Native American man is barely 45 years; women can expect to live less than three years longer. Such itemizations could be continued at great length, including matters like the radioactive contamination of large portions of contemporary Indian Country, the forced relocation of traditional Navajos, and so on. But the point should be made: Genocide, as defined in international law, is a continuing fact of day-to-day life (and death) for North America's native peoples. Yet there has been — and is— only the barest flicker of public concern about, or even consciousness of, this reality. Absent any serious expres­ sion of public outrage, no one is punished and the process continues. A salient reason for public acquiescence before the ongoing holocaust in Native North America has been a continuation of the popular legacy, often through more effective media. Since 1925, Hollywood has released more than 2,000 films portraying Indians as strange, perverted, ridiculous, and often dangerous things of the past. More­ over, we are habitually presented to mass audiences onedimensionally, devoid of recognizable human motivations and emotions; Indians serve as props, little more. We have thus been thoroughly and systematically dehumanized. Everywhere, we are used as logos, as mascots, as jokes: “Big Chief" writing tablets, "Red Man" chewing tobacco, "Winnebago" campers, 'Navajo and "Cherokee" and “Pontiac" and "Cadillac" automobiles. There are the professional sports teams—not to mention those in thou­ sands of colleges, high schools, and elementary schools across the country— each with their own degrading carica­ tures and parodies of Indians and/or things Indian. Pop fiction continues in the same vein, including an unending stream of New Age manuals purporting to expose the inner works of indigenous spirituality in everything from pseudophilosophical to to-it-yourself styles. Blond yuppies from Beverly Hills amble about the country claiming to be reincarnated 17th century Cheyenne Ushmans ready to( perform previously secret ceremonies. In effect, a concerted, sustained, and in some ways accelerating effort has gone into making Indians unreal, It is thus of obvious importance that the American public begin to think about the implications of such things the next time they witness a gaggle of face-painted and warbonneted buffoons doing the "Tomahawk Chop" at a baseball or football game. Think about the significance of John Wayne or Charleton Heston killing a dozen "savages' with a single bullet the next time a western comes on TV. Think about why Land-o-Lakes finds it appropriate to market its butter with the stereotyped image of an "Indian princess" on the wrapper. Think about the real situation of American Indians.

When the people of the world finally understood the tremendous effort that the people of Germany had put into slaughtering Jews— Gyp­ and sies and homosexuals and the physically and men­ tally handicapped— they said to themselves, "My God, what kind of monsters were these people?”If we continue to pursue our plan to consume the world until there's no more to consume, then there's going to come a day, sure as hell, when our children or their children or their children's children are going to look back on us— you and me— say to themselves, on and "My God, what kind of monsters were these people?" This is an idea that doesn't appeal to me at all. If you're like me and would like to avoid looking like a monster to your grandchildren, then I suggest you stop being silent about our plan to go on consuming the world until there simply isn't any more there to consume.

Box 87202 San Diego, CA 92138-7202 Please send SASE with all queries and manuscripts. Sorry, but we can’t afford to pay for submissions. You are, of course, entirely correct. Given the foundation upon which Plan 9 is based, the issue of abortion has to be squarely discussed, rather than squarely dodged, no matter how many readers it costs us. In the first issue, we gave abortion no thought, but you are right on target when you say that it too is a symptom of the sickness that Plan 9 aims to expose. Plan 9 maintains that we are in the process of committing cultural (if not racial) suicide. What more direct or efficient form of suicide is there than ;illing our own children? It is the disposable society at its most base. Clearly, the reason that abortion is such a legitimate issue (as opposed to the issues manufactured by the media and the govern­ ment) is that the unborn child and the mother are essentially a single organism. That our society has reached such a state that mother nd child are alienated even before birth speaks clearly to the depth of the sickness that has overtaken us, and to the internal confusion that has resulted. Clearly, no one supports “killing babies.” But our society has often left us little choice. When there is no societal structure to support a poor single mother, what choice does she feel she has but to “terminate” the pregnancy? In a non-money-based communal society such as practiced by chimpanzees (don’t laugh; male chimps play as little role in the upbringing of their children as many human males do, but chimp society is such that it can handle it without resorting to killing babies), the identity of the father is of no consequence because the mother can rely on the support of the rest of the community to help her raise her children. In our society, so much more advanced and civilized than the chimps, we have no such support for mothers. Single mothers have to make it on their own, often living thousands of miles away from their own family, without the support of the community, in an environment polluted with greed and selfishness. What incentive, in such an environment, is there to bring a child into the world? Have we as a society so devalued mothers and children that we can afford to throw them away as we do everything else? And if so, can we expect to long remain on this planet? We at Plan 9 do not condemn those who feel that they have no other choice than abortion; we condemn the society that has made this “choice” not only a reality, but a commonplace one. However, Plan 0 opposes outlawing abortion for the simple fact that we do not believe in the use of force on anyone, mother or child. Abortion itself, is clearly a use of force, but it must be brought to a halt through education and a fundamental restructuring of society, not laws. As for those individuals who take it upon themselves to rid the world of abortion doctors by murdering them, we at Plan 9 have only the most utter contempt. Killing never solves anything. As to editing your letter inthe manner of the popular media, we, unlike the popular media, actually believe in free speech, and so respect your right to say your piece in full. 9 Pocks Apathy Congratulations! Your paper is responsible for actually moti­ vating me to write. I am a great believer in freedom of speech; and what I feel is it’s purest form: the underground newspaper. Vol. 2, No. 1 of Plan 9 (the first issue I’ve seen) is the best “underground” publication I’ve read here in San Diego. So good that I felt I had to break apathy’s grip and encourage your effort! I respect your ideals and principles as set forth in this issue. The journalism overall was not only intelligent and thought out, but clearly heartfelt. Trulya refreshing thing to read. I enjoyed especially the absence of these two attitudes: #1) “Everything is so fucked up that we can’t do anything about it except talk shit.” It is very easy to find fault with today’s reality. The environment, the government, etc... Rather than accept defeat, or shuffle the blame around, your paper did what saves America from total deception by mass media: exercise free speech encourage diversity - offer solutions. #2) “Rebellion is cool. So let’s rebel.” The current fad (as I’m sure you’re aware) is to be “alternative.” Crowded under that enor­ mous title is a mixture of politics, fashion, music and lifestyles; currently all trying to be cool. Not aware, or well informed, or even interested; just cool. The total lack of any advertising by those cashing in on the alternative market convinced me you were for real. Again - you rocked my apathy. To be honest, I have never written a letter to any editor of any paper. But I very much wanted you to know that your paper had made a difference to at least one person. Keep up the good work! James P.S. I am curious how or if I would be able to contribute. Are there certain topics you need people to cover - do we submit whatever we want? Could you explain further in the next edition or, if you have time, write. First of all, thanks for the letter. It makes the whole effort of publishing Plan 9 worthwhile to know that there are people out there who are reading it and appreciating it. The whole intent of Plan 9 is to wake people from the apathetic slumber that we’ve fallen into. I’m glad at least one person is beginning to rouse. We struggled long and hard with the idea of accepting adver­ tising. Since we can’t really afford to be shelling out several hundred dollars a month to publish a paper, advertising would have covered at least some of our costs. But Plan 9 wouldn’t have been an honest paper if we had accepted advertising. And it needs to be honest to have any effect on people. It’s unfortunate, but in today’s world honesty is a novelty, a mysterious curiosity. Everyone just assumes that you have some ulterior motive, some hidden agenda, and you can only surprise them by not hiding anything. To accept advertising would have been to accept the limitations upon freedom of thought and expression that the acceptance of advertising inevitably brings. When the advertisers pay your bills, your hidden agenda becomes to maintain the influx of money. As a result, honesty takes a back seat to financial security. Personally, we’d rather be honest than secure. Security is just an illusion anyway. As to what you can submit, we’re interested in submissions in two very broad areas: personal experiences and signs of the times.

O n ly in Plan 9! (see p g -7) Free men do not ask permission to enjoy their freedom , -Timothy Leary �The Revolution Will be Computerized (cont.) However, the current “CISC” (Complex Instructional Set Computing) technology, which has been used since the dawn of PCs, is beginning to run into severe physical limitations. In fact, Intel’s new Pentium processor represents the final major CISC processor to be introduced. The Pentium will be wiped out by the in-every-way-superior PowerPC and RISC architec­ ture will totally replace today’s technology. CISC computers will be as out-of-date as vacuum tubes (well, not quite) .As Byte Magazine said four years ago in May 1989, “Traditional semi­ conductor technology will reach its limits in the mid to late 1990V: So what are “CISC” and “RISC”? Nothing much really. CISC computers have instructions that are complex, large and of varying length. A RISC computer’s instructions are simple, small and all the same size. The important point here is that computers operate faster if the instructions sent to it are simple (reduced), small and uniform. No duh. So much faster in fact that thefirst of a series of PowerPC chips (the PowerPC 601) will double the processing power of the state of the art CISC chip, the Intel Pentium. The Pentium, which still has yet to hit the market in large numbers, itself has double the processing power of the current standard proces­ sor, the Intel 80486 (universally referred to as the ‘486’). But speed isn’t the only benefit of RISC technology. Advancements in semiconductor design make RISC chips smaller, less power hungry and cheaper to produce. Compare the following specs: PowerPC 601 Clock Speed Transistors MIPS* Size Power Use Cost 66MHz 3.1 million 112 16.6x17.6 mm 16W $900 The Players: a s ts & s js s rE = ¥ = ' • “ ’“ You don’t have to be a computer nerd to see which is clearly better. Because of its smaller size and lower power use, the PowerPC gives off less heat than the Pentium, which will ultimately result in higher reliability than the Pentium (micro­ electronics are very sensitive to heat and tend to fail quicker at higher temperatures). The PowerPC’s smaller size means that it is cheaper to produce. Combined with its superior perfor­ mance (and the feet that it has the two largest computer manufacturers in the world behind it), the PowerPC (and its successors) will eventually replace the Intel line as the stan­ dard processor in all personal computers. In effect, in the period of about a year, we are going to see an entire computer generation pass. What’s really happening is that in the process of leaping from one technology to the next, we are realizing the immediate “benefits” of RISC tech­ nology: the equivalent of an entire generation of CISC proces­ International Business Machines Annual Revenue: $63.79 billion 1991 PC Sales: $8.5 billion Apple Computer Inc.

If things then continue as before, by the end of 1998 (when the second generation of PowerPC chips-and Intel’s answer to it-debut) we will be looking at personal computers capable of 500 MIPS*; an order of magnitude more powerful than the fastest 486’s on the market today (486DX2 66MHz: 54 MIPS). Never before in the history of technology have such leaps in capability taken place at such a rate. As a result, we are at a technological cusp between one kind of society and another. It is truly a revolution. But what kind of revolution? Will computers take over the world? (You mean they haven’t already??) Surprisingly, no one in y Intel Corporation Annual Revenue: $4.78 billion 1991 Semiconductor Sales: $4.78 billion really talks about the social impacts of the new technology. And there will be impacts. First of all, computer voice recog­ nition will become a reality. It won’t be too long before you will begin to see people talking to a machine and having it re­ spond. Handwriting recognition will also come of age. But the most important impact will be that of virtual reality. The PowerPC, backed by the two most aggressive pushers of multimedia, W be the platform of choice for ill virtual reality development. By the end of1994you should see VRheadsets appearing for personal computers. People by the hundreds of thousands will clamor for the “new TV.” Fast, interactive, and able to create any fantasy you want, virtual reality will be the ultimate escapism (or to put it into the old “New Left’s” terms, “the ultimate pacification program”). Is that what we want? Has it ever occurred to anyone that in attempting to create a machine in our own image (Isn’t voice recognition just a step in that direction?) and in attempt­ ing to recreate reality itself, we can only get farther and farther from ourselves and from reality? Look at kids today. They P/a/7 P History Lesson: The First Electronic Computer The first tru e electronic com ­ p u ter w as the ENIAC (Elec­ tro n ic N u m erical In teg rato r A nd Calculator).

Imagine spending your entire childhood (as the kids being bom today will) wearing a VR headset, tost in a fantasy where your every wish is granted. How frustrating and disap pointing actual reality will seem! In effect, by recreating ourselves and reality we are at­ tempting to play God. No kidding folks. Follow it out. Where will it end? I don’t hear anyone saying, “Well, we’re going to continue to improve computers until 2005, and then we’ll stop.” Nope. It’s just faster and faster and faster and faster. At the current rate, personal computers will be a thousand times more powerful in the year 2010 than they are today. What that will be like, I can hardly imagine. Ultimately, we’ll have the power to make a sentient machine, a genie capable of granting our every wish (now I finally understand why “Prince Mi...Handsome is he...Mi Abab Wa” has been pounding its way through my head all week). And what then? Star Trek or Terminator? We have to stop now and ask ourselves if computers are taking us where we want to go. The media won’t talk about it because it is in their best interest for the new technology to become a reality. But we must. *MIPS: Millions of Instructions Per Second.

Satire, if well written and cogent, is a favorite at Plan 9. Signs of the times is everything else. Stories about the operations of large corporations, human rights (particu­ larly local issues), injustices, inequities, the mass media, editorial cartoons, satirical ad takeoffs, etc. We’re also interested in finding new source materials such as good books, magazines and films to excerpt/review in Plan 9.

This letter concerns the October 1993 issue. It’s refreshing! It’s informative! And it’s all new to me! I was fortunate enough to stumble on it at the Ken Theatre after coming out of Manufacturing Consent. Iwould like to know how often it reallydoesget published and how I coiild possibly subscribe, inquire, or obtain future editions? I am an avid subscriber to the Christian Science Monitor newspaper and believe that your content in the October issue rates just as useful. Great work, Lisa Matt Perfect! We rushed to get that issue of P/an 9 out before Manufacturing Consent came to town. I bet that the Media Watch section of that issue was particularly cogent after seeing the movie. Plan 9 domes out whenever we have enough stuff to put in an issue and enough money to pay for the printing. We’re shooting for monthly, but we’re not really interested in being tied to any particular schedule. We don’t have the means of maintaining subscriptions, so that option is out. Sorry. However, you can get future issues at the Ken, or in coffee shops, bookstores and the like along Adams Ave., in Hillcrest, OB, and at all of the major universities and community colleges in the area. �Media Watch What’s Happening to the Book Industry? By Dennis H. Dutton The corporatization of media is, I think, unfortunate. I’m especially familiar with the phenomenon as it’s reared its me­ dusa head in the book industry. When such great independent book publishers as Simon & Schuster, Prentice Hall, Pocket Books, Putnam, Grosset & Dunlap, Random House, Knopf, and Little, Brown &Company are swallowed by conglomerates, then the creative editorial visions that impelled these publishers are in serious jeopardy if not lost. The only— repeat, the only— major independent U.S. publisher that now exists is W. W. Norton. One result of this trend is that decisions about whether or not to publish manuscripts are increasingly based on projec­ tions of “pure” market value, while literary quality and other virtues go slighted or ignored. This is not to say that good and great books are not being published, even by the giants. They are. But more and more frequently the bottom line is:Will it sell, and in big numbers? And what’s presumed to have the best selling potential is the manu­ script that’s thought to have appeal to a perceived commondenominator reading public, or to a “select but still large reading public.” This would not be so bad if the people making these decisions had some sound literary principles grounding their good business sense; but it’ more likely that in corporate s publishing, the decisions are being made by executives and bean-counters who don’t give a damn about anything as long as a manuscript can be projected as a money-maker. they wither away in the frost of ill-considered business planning or poor book selection— just plain old bad luck. None of them or have the luxury of being supported by fellow subsidiaries who may be strongly in the black while they linger in the red. Unfortunately, a few of the worst small publishers— in terms of production quality and literary virtue, etc.— manage to thrive in spite of the many challenges of the game; they find their public, pander to it, and sell, sell, sell. They may be small, but they think big. Some of the best hang in there and produce astonishingly fine books with varying degrees of financial suc­ cess. And some of the best die— are absorbed by conglomer­ or ates. In the midst of all this change, more books are being published now than ever, and readers therefore have more tides to choose from. No complaint there, although I bemoan the dreck that eats up forests. But will this continue to be the case for long? The chain superstores (I can’t help but think of the irony in the name ‘Waldenbooks”) can afford to buy books in large quantities and, because they purchase them at high discounts, they can offer them at reduced prices. Most independents can’t. The result is that, especially at peak-buying times such as the Thanksgiving to Christmas season, sales at independent stores is lessened. The independent bookstore is now seen by many in the business to be a threatened species. If the number of independent booksellers dwindles, that’s going to affect the quality, and perhaps the number, of titles available to us. It was not the superstore book buyer that helped Decisions are being made by executives and bean­ counters who don’t give a damn about anything as long as a manuscript can be projected as a money-maker. make the unusual Bridges of Madison County a bookseller; according to both author Robert James Waller and publisher Warner Books, it was the independent buyer. Chain superstore book buyers seldom have the imagina­ tion or courage to order or promote books like Bridges of Madison County. The independent bookseller does, because he or she typically bases book-buying not only on proven track records of certain authors or on what’s trendy or likely to be a hot item with faceless consumers, but on what he or she knows to be the literary tastes and interests of the store’s actual living, breathing, thinking customers. If the superstores destroy the independents— they are and trying to— may eventually find that we’re only able to pur­ we chase books that the superstore book buyers presume to have the best selling potential to a perceived common-denominator reading public, or to a “select but still large reading public;” the choices we readers will have will he in the hands of fewer and fewer people, and those people will be corporate drones and bean counters. Another, I think related, danger to the book publishing industry is illiteracy. Fifty percent of adult Americans are func­ tionally illiterate. I’ll bet that the vast majority of those who have bought an unknown author’s Bridges ofMadison County can read.

Masterpieces with little perceived commercial value are lucky to have runs of3,000 to 5,000, and their promotional budgets are seldom over $1,000. Some folks think the small book publisher is the salvation in the face of the decadence outlined above; that it is the small book publisher who will be the one to take chances on manu­ scripts of quality but, perhaps, limited potential reading publics. There’s some justification for this view, and the advent of the personal computer has had a lot to do with it. The personal computer and access to assorted publishing programs have permitted hundreds of creative individuals to join the publish­ ing game. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the personal computer has permitted hundreds of idiots to join the game too. A lot of trees are consequently being wasted by small publishers who don’t know what the hell they’re doing, who are barely if at all functionally literate, and who don’t care as long as they can pay the printing bills and cover overhead. Small book publishers— you might expect— as sprout in great entrepreneurial profusion like springtime flowers, and doors on days they used to be open, or shutting down entirely. Libraries are buying fewer tides in any case, and tending to not replace worn-out copies of old books. A librarian near my little town in northern New Mexico was quoted as saying, “Who wants to readabook published before 1930?”She was selling off the library’s old stock.

What to do? Support independent publishers by buying their books. Boycott the superstores. Frequent your library and used-book stores for must-read books by corporate publishers. 4. Support your local independent bookseller, even if the prices of books are sometimes slighdy higher than at the superstores. 5. Get involved in literacy campaigns (check with your li­ brary).

The issue is how much longer end to what extent we can allow the state to control our mindsr -Ken Anderson, 1969 �A Lexicon of Media Buzzwords Reprinted from Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media, by Martin A. Lee & Norman Solomon. What we hear over and over again shapes our language and guides our thoughts. As with ad jingles, the drumbeat of repeated news lingo stays with us and takes on a life of its own. In the long run, what’s repeated endlessly becomes social “reality.” For every exceptional media item (notable as an exception), hundreds of stories solemnly present recycled cliches as truisms. Too often, American journalism is not “reporting the news” so much as reinforcing timeworn attitudes. To consume the news dished out every day is to partake ofa steady offering of buzzwords and catch-phrases that range from the vaguely factual to the questionable to the ridiculous. For example: • • • Acting presidential: A grandly nebulous description by TV news correspondents, giving a favorable review to some bit of presidential acting. Bailout: Huge amounts of taxpayers’ money going to wealthy financiers with souring investments in industries like auto production or Savings and Loans. Believed to be, Considered to be: Using the passive voice, the journalist can generalize at will, as though anyone knowledgeable shares the same belief. Big government: A pejorative for regulatory agencies limiting corporate activities, or for social service programs aiding poor and middle-class people—but not for the govemmenfs enormous military expenditures. Brought to you by: A roundabout way of plugging commercial sponsors. Caller claimed responsibility: Mysterious phone tip to a news organization, usually impossible to verify. Who really made the call? The CIA? The KGB? An autonomous lunatic? We’ll never know. Clean up: A scenario for setting right oil spills, nuclear pollution, chemical releases and the like. The phrase sounds comforting—it implies a magical vacuum cleaner at work—except that most ecological disasters can’t be undone. Dangerous drugs: Illegal substances, as distinct from other damaging consumables—alcohol, cigarettes and over-prescribed pharmaceuticals—also widely used. Defense spending: Military spending. Deterrent: Nuclear weapons pointed at the Soviet Union. (Nuclear weapons pointed at the United States never get the U.S. media’s “deterrent” tag.) Efficiency: Frequently shorthand for corporate management’s preferences, maybe involving layoffs, firings, wage cuts and/or union-busting. Experts: A common noun handy for promoting a favored point of view. Extremists, Fanatics, Fringe groups: Political individuals or groupings that meet with U.S. government and media disapproval. Instability: Code for situations overseas where the U.S. State Department is unhappy with current events. Intelligence community: A way of making cloak-and-dagger specialists at the CIA and other spy agencies sound like friendly neighbors. Military leader: A foreign military dictator whom the White House doesn’t mind a whole lot. Military strongman: A foreign military dictator out of favor with the White House. (In 1989, Military Strongman seemed to be the first names of Panamanian General Manuel Noriega. A few years earlier, when he was on the CIA’s payroll, he was a “military leader.”) Moderate: In domestic politics, this favorable adjective is conferred for not rocking the status-quo boat. As a moniker for foreign regimes, “moderate” denotes little inclination to disrupt U.S. government plans. Thus, Saudi Arabia’s monarchy is “moderate”—which would surprise the hundreds of torture victims inside Saudi prisons. Modernization (of nuclear weapons): The United States and NATO proceed to “modernize”nuclear arsenals with new missiles. But American media never apply the benign-sounding term to newly devised Soviet nuclear arms. National security: Confined to subjects like weapons, soldiers and espionage, the connotations bypass vital aspects of true national security—such as environmental protection, public health, social cohesion and a strong economy. Observers: The observers taken most seriously by news media. Radical: Although students protesting in, say, China are “pro-democracy,”in South Korea pro-democracy students in the streets are “radical” demonstrators—with the reasons behind their anti-U.S. protests rarely explained. Reform: In journalese, “reform” can mean just about anything. “Tax reform” during the 1980's was a euphemism for legislation that gave the wealthy major tax cuts. Special interests: This phrase used to be applied to wheeler-dealers relying on big bucks instead of grassroots supporters to sway the democratic process. But in recent years, mass media have turned the “special interests”label upside down and plastered it elsewhere—on large numbers of people with less money and less power—groups of black and Hispanic Americans, labor union members, feminist women, seniors, lesbian and gay rights backers, and other organized constituencies. Stability: A codeword for situations overseas where the U.S. State Department wouldn’t mind if conditions stayed the same. Terrorism: A label very selectively applied, in keeping with U.S. government definitions. So—in the mediaspeak lexicon—bombings, assassinations and kidnappings are “terrorism” if done by Arabs, but not if done by Israelis. U.S. analysts, Western diplomats, etc.: These phrases are broad and pliable enough to serve as springboards for the opinions of American officials and their allies, while obscuring the sources and motives behind the words. T h e " ::;' " : ; " : ; : 00393077 When we had last left our hero, a battle was brewing between two groups of suitors for Paramount’s hand. On the one side was Viacom, backed with funding from Blockbuster Entertainment, Cox Enterprises and Nynex. On the other was QVC, backed by Liberty Media Corp. [a subsidiary of Tele­ communications Inc. (TCI)] and Comcast Corp. By press time, the story remained pretty much the same, though the names of the players were beginning to change. In fact, what appeared to be happening was the beginning of the collapse of the media industry into a single giant corporation. Cox Enterprises changed sides, joining Bell-Atlantic and Ad­ vance Publications Inc. on the QVC side of the deal. All in all, QVC has lined up $1.5 billion in investors to back their bid for Paramount. While all of this was happening, Bell Atlantic announced that intended to buy TCI, lock, stock and barrel. Along with its Paramount stake in the Paramount/QVC merger, this deal would instandy make Bell Adantic one of the largest media companies in the world, controlling everything from the world’s largest cable system (TCI), phone, cellular, and other communications services, along withstakes in theQVC network and Paramount’s holdings.

Book Censorship by Daniel Schreffler, Albany, NY I want to draw your attention to a growing threat to freedom of expression in the U.S. The local independent bookshop seems to be going the way of the comer grocery and neighborhood hardware store. Two large “superstore” chains, Borders (a subsidiary of K-Mart) and Barnes & Noble, are opening giant new stores all over the country, driving independent bookstores out of business with their deep discount prices. If this trend continues, retail book selling will be dominated by these two large companies. They will then essentially be able to determine what gets published, since no publisher will bother to print a book that the chains refuse to sell. The dreary conformity that now pervades other areas of the media will be extended to books. This may not be apparent in the short term as the chains continue to be measured by the standards established by an open and diverse retail market. However, as the inde­ pendent booksellers disappear, the profit motive and the personal whims of the small group of people controlling purchasing will eventually prevail, and controversial books will gradually become less accessible to the public.

(see p g-7) �Oswald Was a Patsy Beginning ¥ even before the assassination of President Kennedy, a web of lies has been spun to cover the real truth of who killed Kennedy and why. It would be impossible in the space available to go into all of the reasons why Oswald could not have killed Kennedy; there are several excellent books which cover everything of importance. However, for the sake of satisfying those who still blindly believe the official version of the assassination, I will outline the major problems with the “lone nut” theory. 1. On the day he was airested, Oswald was given a nitrate test, the results of which showed that he had not fired a weapon in the previous 24 hours (Ruby shot Oswald 23 hours after the assassination). 2. It was physically impossible for anyone to load, aim and fire the cheap Italian-made Mannlicher-Carcano bolt-action rifle allegedly used by Oswald in less than 2,3 seconds (as established by FBI tests). However, the Zapruder film shows Kennedy and Connelly being hit by separate shots, less than a second apart. 3. In order to account for this discrepancy, the Warren Commission developed the “single bullet theory,” which claimed that a single bullet (which mysteriously appeared on a stretcher at Parkland Memorial Hospital where Kennedy and Connelly were taken) had inflicted seven separate wounds on Kennedy and Connelly. The bullet was found in almost perfect condition (see figures 3 and 4). Even firing at full speed, as required by the Zapruder film, it would nearly impossible for the finest marksman to have hit Kennedy three times, particularly with such a cheap rifle. Furthermore, Oswald was considered a mediocre marksman. The Zapruder film clearly shows the fatal shot hitting Kennedy in front of his head above the right eye, snapping his head backward (see figure 1). 6. Acoustic analysis of a dictablet recording made by Dallas police at the time of the assassination clearly indicated that Figure 1: The fata l shot Zapruder Frame 312 M Si Abraham Zapruder ots six or seven snoi were fired. The acoustics of at least two of the shots, including the fatal shot, indicated that they must have come from in front of the limousine, not behind. Ah :t 50 witnesses to the shooting, including Dallas police officers, claimed that they heard shots and saw smoke coming from the so-called “grassy knoll,”which was in front and to the right of Kennedy’s limousine. Several people ran oyer to the knoll after the shooting, but were turned away by “Secret Service agents.” Records indicate that no Secret Ser­ vice agents ever went over to the grassy knoll. There were gross discrepancies be­ Fig ure 2. D ealey P laza tween the wounds described in official autopsy of Kennedy bullet would be smashed to bits by the time it got to Connelly’s thigh.

Some authors maintain that a seventh shot struck Kennedy at almost the same instant as the fatal shot (#5), though there is no clear evidence for this. The Single Bullet Theory Just before thefatal shot, Kennedy is reacting to bullets #2 and #3. Bullet #2 h it him in the throat, which he is clutching with his hands. Bullet #3 hit him in the back, forcing him forward in the seat. Jackie has turned toface him. Zapruder Frame 313 Kennedy has been struck by another bullet, this one clearly hitting him in thefront o f the head on the right side. Given theposition o f the car, the shot would have originated f rom the so-called "grassy knoll. ” This is the fatal bullet. Zapruder Frame 323 A half a second later, Kennedy *shead has clearly snapped back and to the left. The bullet has blown open the right side o f his head, exposing his brain (visible as the bright spot on the side o f his head). “Sniper’s Nest” There are so many problems with the single bullet theory that I can only list the major ones. This theory was developed by Arlen Spector and Gerald Ford during the Warren Commis­ sion investigation to account for the fact that it was physically impossible for Oswald to have fired shot #3, which hit Kennedy in the back and then, only six tenths of asecond later to have fired another shot (#4), which severely wounded Connelly, as shown in the Zapruder film. Admitting that these were two separate shots would have meant admitting a conspiracy. Therefore, the Commission (against the testimony of Connelly, who maintained that they were separate shots) merged the two shots into one, regard­ less of the fact that this required Connelly to not react to a nearly fatal shot, which supposedly hit him in three separate places, for over a half a second. Specifically, the theory claimed that shot #3, fired down­ ward from the sixth floor of the Book Depository hit Kennedy in the back, turned upward and exited Kennedy’s throat (where shot two had actually entered), turned in mid-air to point downward again, entered Connelly’s back near his right armpit, turned left and exited beneath Connelly’s right nipple, turned right and upward again and smashed Connelly’s right wrist and finally turned downward and left to hit Connelly’s left thigh (see figure 3). Even more preposterous was the fact that the Commis­ sion claimed that a pristine bullet (CE 399) found on a stretcher at Parkland had caused all of these wounds! True, CE 399 had been fired from Oswald’s rifle, but into what? Compare a photograph of CE 399 with another bullet of the same type fired into the wrist of a cadaver (figure 4). Though it might be possible for a bullet to travel the convoluted path required by the single bullet theory, there can be little doubt that such a Massive discrepancies exist between what was observed by doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital in Dallas and what was described in the “official” autopsy (which took place at Bethesda Naval Hospital) published by the Warren Commis­ sion. There are even severe discrepancies between the “offi­ cial”autopsy photos and several of the “official”autopsy x-rays (see figures 5 and 6). All medical personnel in Dallas described a large defect (“hole”) in the back of Kennedy’s head where as much as a third of his brain had been forcibly blown out.

No mention was made to damage on the top of Kennedy’s head or to his forehead, as shown in the autopsy photos and x-rays, respectively. For years it was thought that the Parkland doctors saw very different wounds than those at Bethesda. The truth, however, is that these doctors have always agreed on the nature of Kennedy’s wounds. The fact is that the Warren Commission blatandy altered and falsified the contents of the Bethesda autopsy report to fit the single bullet theory. Indeed, the doctor in charge of the Bethesda autopsy, Commander James Humes, was forced to burn the first draft of the autopsy to cover up his findings. Figure 5. A utopsy photo. by the Rev.

Note that entrance wound on his right temple is probably accurate. This photo is in total disagreement with the official autopsy X-ray, below. Who Killed Kennedy? Again, I don’t really have the space to go into this issue. Suffice to say that the theory advanced by New Orleans DAJim Garrison (portrayed in Oliver Stone’s JFK) is the most plau­ sible. In brief, this theory states that Kennedy was assassinated by an anti-Castro special operations wing of the CIAwhich had felt betrayed by Kennedy’s refusal to provide air cover for the Bay of Pigs Invasion. 'When it became clear that Kennedy was also going to pull us out ofVietnam, this contingent of the CIA, with support from operatives in other areas, plotted to bring him to Dallas. Oswald’s associations with Ferrie, Banister and Clay Shaw provide clear links to the CIA (Shaw, who was acquitted of conspiracy in the Garrison trial, was later found to have been a paid CIAinformant.). And who else but insiders would have the ability or motivation to cover up the truth or alter the autopsy report? Additionally, the CIA’s founding director, Allen Dulles, was fired by Kennedy in 1961. Amazingly, Dulles was ap­ pointed to the Warren Commission in 1964. Figure 6. A utopsy X -ray. 3.

No frames between about frames 220and330areshown (see table 1, previous page, forchronology of shots).

All were fired from the 6.5mm Carcano car­ bine which Lee Oswald bought by m ail last March. Though the case against the dead Oswald was only circumstantial, and witnesses persisted in talking about six or seven shots, shots coming from the grassy knoll, etc., Life has no problem making a blanket statement that Oswald did it.

Finally, the October 2,1964 issue of Life finally shows frames 313 and 323 of the Zapruder film (see figure XX), but switches their position so that frame 323 appears first, making it appear that Kennedy’s head movedforward after being hit from the rear.

But there are major questions about each of these factors. Women with a family history of breast cancer are statistically more likely to develop the disease themselves, but no study has established whether this is a result of genetic disposition or shared environment. Nor does genetic vulnerability explain the jump in breast cancer incidence during the past halfcentury—from 1 in every 20 women during the 195Q's to 1 in 9 today. Dietary fat is the most controversial risk factor associated with breast cancer. In the 1960’s, epidemiologists observed that nations in which people ate more fat had higher breast cancer rates, and that fat consumption in the United States rose during the same period of time the incidence of breast cancer rose. They theorized that fat must promote breast cancer. But numerous subsequent studies have failed to dem­ onstrate a consistent relationship between breast cancer and dietary fat. And laboratory studies have not established any mechanism by which dietary fat could promote breast cancer. One possibility ignored by cancer establishment researchers: Perhaps it’s not the fat that increases the risk, but chemicals in the fat. Many known carcinogens concentrate in animal fat, so people who eat more fat also absorb more chemicals. But the most serious problem with the causes proposed by the cancer establishment is simple: Three out of every four women who develop breast cancer have none of these primary mals. As those animals are eaten by others, the synthetic chemicals move up the food chain and their concentrations rise exponentially. Creatures at the top of the food chain accumulate high concentrations of organochlorines. In less than two decades of their use,” wrote Carson, “these synthetic pesticides have been so thoroughly distributed throughout the animate and inanimate world that they occur virtually everywhere.” Including in the human body: More than 177 organochlorines have been found in the tissues of the general population of the United States and Canada. Organochlorines have been linked to epidemic health problems in fish, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Their effects include infertility, birth defects, miscarriages, immune system suppression, metabolic dysfunction, behavioral disorders, and hormonal abnormalities. And many of the chlorine-based compounds are known to cause cancer in humans, though the ways they promote the disease vary. Because these chemicals tend to strike reproductive systems first, and because many of them are known to be carcinogenic, there is good reason to suspect that they play a role in promoting breast cancer. Epidemiological evidence confirms that suspicion: • Women in Long Island’s Nassau and Suffolk counties, which were routinely blanketed with aerial sprayings of DDT during the 1950's, suffer among the highest rates of breast cancer in the nation.

It was proven decades ago that many pesticides accumulate in fatty tissue (like the breast). It has also been proven that many pesticides can cause a wide range of maladies, from birth defects to cancer. Still, the media uses headlines like “Pesticides May be Linked to Breast Cancer,” as in the LATimes article. When are we going to stop the bullshit and realize that these poisons are killing us?

Yet not one of these findings came from within the cancer establishment. Nor have the NCI and the ACS taken much interest in them. “The chemical agents ofcancer have become entrenched in our world in two ways,” wrote Rachel Carson more than 30 years ago. “First, and ironically, through man’s search for a better and easier way oflife; second, because the manufacture and sale of such chemicals has become an accepted part of our economy and our way of life.” Rachel Carson died ofbreastcancerinApril 1964. She was 56 years old. Imperial Chemical Industries “Eariy detection is your best protection. Don’t be an easy target— a mammogram now. ” That’s the message of Na­ get tional Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s the same every October, on every one of the hundreds of thousands of posters, pamphlets, radio spots, newspaper ads, and promo­ tional videos distributed by the event’s sponsors. But few of Why a moratorium? Because several studies suggest that the radiation accumulated through these yearly X-rays may actually be causing breast cancer. “These pamphlets give the impression that if you are a good girl and get your mammograms, you’ll be OK,” says Steingraber. “But having a mammogram is not like flossing your teeth. A mammogram does not prevent breast cancer.” ICI also stands to profit every time a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer because an ICI spin-off, Zeneca Pharmaceu­ ticals, sells the leading treatment drug for breast cancer. Nolvadex is Zeneca’s trade name for tamoxifen citrate, an anti­ estrogen drug with annual sales of almost $500 million. More than half of those gross sales are in the United States, where Zeneca Nolvadex costs about $1.38 per tablet. Generic tamoxifen, available in Canada and other countries, is as low as 24 cents per tablet. Tamoxifen doesn’t cure the existing cancer, but it can help prevent the spread of the disease in patients who are diagnosed eariy. ICI’s sponsorship of BCAM is just one example of the many conflicts of interest that pervade the cancer establish­ ment. “Underlying the cancer establishment’s fixation with di- ICI has been the sole financial sponsor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) since the event’s inception. In return, ICI has been allowed to approve— or veto— every poster, pamphlet, and adver­ tisement BCAM uses. Not surprisingly, carcinogens are never mentioned in BCAM’s widely distributed literature. the women who participate in Breast CancerAwareness Month are aware that an international chemical giant— Imperial Chemi­ cal Industries (ICI)—pays the event’s bills and cashes in on its message. ICI is one of the largest chemical companies in the world. Its annual sales exceeded $23 billion in 1991. It stands among the world’s largest producers of chlorine- and petroleumbased products, including plastics, explosives, pharmaceuti­ cals, and paint. ICI also has a dismal environmental record: One Quebec paint-pigment subsidiary single-handedly con­ tributes a third of the toxic chemicals dumped into the St. Lawrence River, according to the government agency Environ­ ment Canada. ICI co-founded National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) nine years ago, together with Cancer Care Inc. (a support group) and the American Academy of Family Physi­ cians. Since then, BCAM has become fully integrated with the cancer establishment. The ACS and the NCI are represented on the BCAM board. ICI has been the sole financial sponsor of BCAMsince the event’s inception. Altogether, the company has spent “several agnosis, treatment, and research into new drugs is an institu­ tionalized alliance between interlocking professional and fi­ nancial interests,” says Dr. Samuel Epstein, a professor of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Illinois Medical Center in Chicago. “At the hub of this alliance is the highly profitable pharmaceutical industry.” As a result, the cancer establishment remains more interested in treating cancer than in preventing it, more interested in developing drugs than in finding carcinogens. Even the NCI’s much-publicized Breast Cancer Preven­ tion Trial is really just another drug-pushing deal in which perfecdy healthy women are being given a known carcinogen to see ifit will “prevent”breast cancer. Last year, the NCI began recruiting 16,000 U.S. and Canadian women for the 10-year study. Half will receive a placebo. The other half will get tamoxifen. The idea is to see whether those on the anti­ estrogen drug develop fewer breast cancers than those on the placebo. “The tamoxifen study is particularly galling,”says Epstein. “It is a scientific and ethical travesty. [The NCI’s] conduct verges on criminal recklessness.” The NCI is conducting the ICI also stands to profit every time a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer because an ICI spin-off, Zeneca Pha-maceuticals, sells the leading treatment drug for breast cancer. million dollars” on the project, according to an ICI spokes­ woman. In return, ICI has been allowed to approve— veto— or every poster, pamphlet, and advertisement BCAM uses. Not surprisingly, carcinogens are never mentioned in BCAM’s widely distributed literature. “Researchers are investigating the role ofheredity, lifestyle, and diet,” says one BCAM pamphlet. “But you can’t assume that modifying your diet or lifestyle will make you safe from disease. Early detection is your best protection.” And what does ICI suggest that women do to “protect” themselves? “Get regular mammograms. See your doctor regularly. Examine your breasts monthly.” Monthly self-exams are a good idea. But mammograms are risky and of question­ able value. Regular mammograms do not improve survival rates for most women, according to several recent studies. By the time a tumor is detectable on a mammogram, it is already six to eight years old— woul^l soon be detected through a and breast self-exam. “There is no evidence to support introduc­ tion of service mammography for women under 50,” said a recent editorial in TheLancet. “And some may argue that there should be a moratorium on all mammography for symptomfree women in this age group.” experiment despite evidence that tamoxifen, which is known to cause blood clots, uterine cancer, and liver cancer, may harm more women than it will help. By the NCI’s own esti­ mates, tamoxifen will prevent breast cancer in only 62 of the 8,000 women who take it. The other 7,938will risk uterine and liver cancers for the sake of “science.” And for the benefit of Imperial Chemical Industries . ICI’s Nolvadex is already the top-selling cancer drug in the world. But if tamoxifen were approved for use as a preventive drug, ICI could sell even more Nolvadex. ICI used its BCAMcontacts to convince the NCI to spend $70 million of taxpayers’money on this prevention trial— small feat, considering that the no NCI’s entire annual budget for breast cancer research is only $196 million. . Ifthe Breast Cancer Prevention Trial shows that tamoxifen is effective in preventing breast cancer, Nolvadex will become a multi-billion-dollar-a-year drug. Every woman on the planet would be a potential customer. In the meantime, ICI contin­ ues to sell almost a half a billion dollars worth of treatment each year for a disease that it may be causing by selling tens of billions of dollars worth of toxic chemicals each year. These are the profits of misery. Better dying through chemistry!

Rating the Rags On September 15, the LosAngeles Times ran a piece titled “Raise Urged for Cal State Presidents.” In it CSU Chancellor Barry (“The Tan Man”) Munitz claimed that CSU presidential salaries (which average $120,075) are 21% below those at comparable public universities elsewhere in the country. A week later, the Times ran another article, this one claiming that UC Chancellor salaries (which average $188,767 according to the Times) lag 14% behind those of chancellors and provosts at schools such as Harvard and Yale. (Note: In the UC system, the President lords over all and the Chancellors mismanage the individual campuses. In the CSU system it’s the other way around: the Chancellor is the big cheese, and the Presidents are the local dictators.) A little over two weeks after the second article appeared, the Times published yet another article, this one titled “Another Round of Fee Hikes Sought at UC, Cal State.” Proposed increases for next year were stated as $342 for Cal State (to $1,440) and $650 at UC (to $4,377). The article stated that “administrators of both systems”wanted to raise fees in order to “halt the erosion, of educational quality.” Bullshit. Fees have been going up virtually every year for the past four years, and the quality of education has onlygone down. With these hikes, fees at UCand CSUcampuses will be more than double what theywere in 1989. Given the logic that more money = better education, the CSU and UC systems should be offering twice the quality of education they were four years ago. Instead, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks that the quality of education is even as good as it was four years ago. So why are fees increasing? To pay the salary increases of our poor, starving chancellors and presidents, and other high administratdrs like them! According to the Times, there are 58 administrators in the UC system alone making in excess of $100,00 per year. That’s a m inimum outlay of $5.8 millicfn dollars (the actual figure is closer to $9 million), just for 58 people. We should be firing university presidents and chancellors for gross incompetence, not giving them raises. I can’t understand it. Why should we be giving these people raises? Have they demonstrated their administrative competence by improving (or even maintaining) the quality and cost of public higher education in California? No, they haven’t In feet, in the past four years thing have gone to hell. Instead of giving these people raises, we should be firing them for gross incompetence! Wake up people! The reason that public higher education is failing in California is because it is being run by people who are in it for their own personal advancement, not because they give a shit about providing affordable college education to the California public. President Peltason ($280,000/yr) and Chancellor Munitz ($l49,000/yr) are the inheritors of a system of spoils for the privileged administrator class. From the 43% pay raises that former CSU Chancellor Ann Reynolds and her cronies voted themselves to the $737,000 “severance package”approved by the UC Regents for retiring President David Gardner, it is clear what the prioritiesofthe top administration are: “get it while the gettingis good.”At the bottom of the food chain,as usual, thestudents reap the true reward of this policy: closed programs, fewer classes, outdated lab equipment, libraries with no budgets to buy books, fee increases every year, etc. This has to end! Throw the money-mongers out of temple of education! Demand that the money earmarked for education is spent on education, not on bloated administrative salaries. Demand that no more faculty positions be cut until 20% of UC and CSU administrative positions have been eliminated. Demand a radical restructuring of UC and CSU administration, focusing on decentralizing authority and granting greater autonomy to each campus and department. Demand the elimination, not of academic programs, but of superfluous administrative offices. It’s your education. You’re paying for it. Demand what you deserve.

(Social Disintegration) (Environmental W ip eo u t)' (A Nice-looking Piece �Charlie Manson Forcibly Removed from Computer Lab The following e-mail exchange took place last February at the nation’s newest university, CSU San Marcos. The players are: Bill Stacy, President of CSUSM, Bill Robinson, former Director of Computing and Telecommunications, and myself, the computer lab manager. I had been directed by Robinson to come up with names for each computer in the labs, with each lab having its own “theme.” The theme I chose for the lab in question was “prominent people from the 60’s.” The main issues raised by this tempest in a teapot are those of censorship and intellectual fascism at public institutions of higher learning. President Stacy s position appears suspect, particularly in light of the furor which resulted from the plan to dedicate the university’s administration building after state Senator William Craven, who, a week before this exchange, had referred to undocumented workers as being “on the lower scale of our humanity.” In retrospect, I would not have removed Manson’s name, thus forcing the university administration to either recognize the value of freedom of expression and thought at a public university or to resort to the use of force to get things their way.

The complaint asked me how I would feel to see Manson in my classroom if I were a friend of one of his victims—or just simply if I thought a university ought to classify Speck or Manson as role models for our mission. I think the complaint is well taken. We have misplaced our sense of humor or whatever our intention was with such names. Could you manage to get the offensive names out of there?

Page 4 CSUSMs Recycling Program a Model for Other Schools By Ivalee Clark Director Support Services T he University has entered into a contract with the California Integrated Waste Management Board to develop and implement a "model university waste reduction program." With no formal program previously in place and being a new campus, the plan of the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee is to establish a model program right from the beginning and to make it a transferable model for other colleges and universities to follow. An aggressive recycling program was launched on August 2, 1993. Targeted are specific materials for recycling, including mixed o ffice paper, cardboard, newspaper, glass, and cans/plastic. For convenience, special color-coded recycling containers are located in handy locations throughout the University. Your sorted recyclables are collected weekly and delivered to the Mashburn Recycling Center. There, the materials are processed for shipment to companies who reuse our recyclables in the manufacturing of new products. A waste specialist from the California Integrated Waste Management Board in Sacramento spent two days on campus reviewing our recycling program. He praised how much was accomplished in such a short period of time. Thanks to everyone for your cooperation in making the e ffort to recycle and manage waste a success. THE FIRST TWO MONTHS OF OUR F ORMAL R ECYCLING PROGRAM SAVED APPROXIMATELY 27 F ULL G ROWN TREES . . . OR ROUGHLY 7 TREES FOR EVERY TON O F MIXED PAPER AND NEWSPAPER. In a ddition, t he c ontractor, Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services has commended CSUSM on how "clean" the recyclable collections have been. Remember, contamination occurs when inappropriate trash becomes commingled with recyclable material. Thanks for asking questions prior to contaminating the recyclables. Answers to some questions: • Plastic grocery bags and brown paper bags cannot be recycled. • Plastic containers from frozen foods or bookstore food cannot be recycled. There is no market for these containers at the present time. Please separate recyclables from trash in the classroom. Both trash and mixed paper containers are located in each classroom. Since food and beverages are not permitted in the classroom, appropriate beverage containers are located in the hallways of the academic buildings. Participation is very important in this worthwhile project. Working together will save natural resources and reduce the amount of material going into landfills. If you have any questions or comments regarding the recycling program, please contact Support Services at Ext. 4520. xraniwHii nmE By M ary S zterpakiewicz ! was E&ot-in^Mef ',] the former home of the moun- l l g i t ^ Thanks go m t to eveiydae tain lion* the name seemed fithave imtim pr who siibmitted iiames for the i ttagRnnneisupinctaded: Couwritet including new student newspaper, There gatCult* TheMosuic^mA Campus devoted to good ^ ting, wpre several great entries. pus Voice, — fortunately, we could only ~ ^ ^y^ps^g^ry, was sub- we should have a surplus &f chooseone.

At Student Health Services we are often asked, "Why is there an immunization requirement for Measles?" The answer is that in the mid 1980s, an epidemic of Measles began. It peaked at 14,000 cases in the first half of 1990. But, because of the efforts at all educational levels (including universities) and community programs, the lowest incidence of Measles cases on record is being experienced in the United States this year. Measles may sound like just another childhood disease but this recent epidemic proves otherwise. In a three year period (1989 to 1992) Measles led to 132 deaths, 11,000 hospitalizations and medical expenditures of up to 100 million dollars. Also, in 1992, the most recent complete reporting period, 19% of all Measles cases were in the 20 year-plus-age group. This age group includes most of the student at this university. A few years ago, 20-30% of the USC football team came down with Measles and almost could not play in the Rose Bowl. The sharp decline in Measles pleases many experts, but also worries them. Ten years ago, Measles was also on the decline, but complacency about Measles vaccine requirements seems to have resulted in the most recent epidemic. Therefore, the Measles vaccine requirement will becontinue because it makes good public health sense, and can personally protect you and your good health. If you have any questions regarding the Measles vaccine, please call Student Health Services at 752-4915. Every student born Jan. 1956 or later is required t o provide proof of measles/ Rubella vaccination prior t o registration for a second semester. Student Health Services will be offering walk-in clinics for the required measles/ Rubella immunizations. The clinic dates are: Fri., Nov. 19 Tue., Nov. 23 Wed., Dec. 1 8:30 1:00 8:30 1:30 - You must bring your immunization card or medical record t o Student Health Services, fill out the necessary form and return the completed form t o Admissions and Records.

PLAY FORE PAR Faculty wants to change program name B y J an C ooper Staff Writer A memo to the academic faculty and advisors from the Liberal Studies faculty announced that they are petitioning to change the name of Liberal Studies to Integrative Studies. The memo states that this new name will better reflect the nature of the program which, while usually associated with the Multiple Subject Waiver Program, provides a variety of interdisciplinary options. A track structure will allow the university to develop interdisciplinary tracks in addition to the waiver tracks. They will share a common mission statement and core of courses beyond GE requirements. Central to this core will be issues related to race, class and gender. Service Learning will be an important part of this program. The Program Mission Statement states that "Integrative Studies (IS) is a dynamic, innovative multi-disciplinary program designed for students seeking a broad liberal arts education with a global perspective." It goes on to state, "This curriculum seeks to breach traditional barriers between the natural and social sciences and the humanities to achieve an integrated educational experience. IStudents who graduate from the IS program will be prepared to enter various fields in the private and public sector, pursue further professional training or post-graduate education, and in general, be better prepared for the technological changes underway in t oday's workplace. The memo did not explain how this change will affect current Liberal Studies majors and did not go into specifies as to how the pro* gram would be changed or enhanced.

While certain guiding principles and philosophies have been established, the shape that CSUSM will take in the future is essentially up for grabs. The administration and faculty have already worked hard to earn a reputation for diversity and academic excellence, but it is the student body that will ultimately shape our university for future generations. With that in mind, CSU San Marcos should continue to focus on intellectual and cultural achievement and not put valuable money and resources into a comprehensive athletic program. Certainly, athletics is an important part of American life and team sports offer many rewards to those students who choose to participate. But the mission of CSUSM is an intellectual one. In a state so limited economically that university fee hikes have caused the cost of education to skyrocket, the primary goal of all state universities should be to improve the educational environment and lessen the economic burden in any way possible. Football stadiums and coaching staffs are luxuries that we cannot possibly afford. Some would argue that a strong football team brings revenue to the school by attracting area supporters who are more than happy to fork over a few bucks for the university in order to see a good gridiron match up. High profile athletic programs are often economically beneficial to the universities that house them, but getting to that point requires a great deal of expenditure that simply could be utilized in better ways. Also, athletic events only attract supporters if those supporters have a winning team to root f or; losing teams also lose money. Perhaps more important than the athletic program's* varying economic aspects is the side-stepping of academic goals. The ultimate purpose of any university is to foster an intellectual environment conducive in every way possible to student growth. As is, CSUSM is filled with dedicated faculty and hardworking students here because they want to be a part of that environment. We should dedicate our time and resources to the pedantic and aesthetic endeavors that make university life important and unique. There are plenty of other places to find great quarterback keeps and breathtaking double plays. Let this university be a haven for intellect and culture. Human spirit triumphs over California tragedies By R oman S. Koenig Contributing Writer As the Santa Ana winds blow again this week and the fires we thought were over destroy the community of Malibu, the memory of last week'sfirestorms still burns in my mind; yet while thinking about what is now being called one of California's worst tragedies, something very important and encouraging has come out of the ashes. The news is so often riddled with v iolence and d eath, t he coverage of last week's destruction seemed no different on the surface, but l ooking at it with c loser scrutiny, it became c lear that something, in fact, was different. More important than anything else, the triumph of the human spirit showed through like a candle in the darkness. While television cameras both on the ground and in the air focused on the violence and destruction t he f ire b rought, n ews c ommentators a nd r eporters seemed to move more quickly to cover the human angle in the midst of all the tragedy. Seeing, hearing and reading stories about how neighbors fought to save each other's homes with Politics as usual By B arry W alker Guest Editorial There is a new club on campus that has promised to promote discussion of political issues on campus that affect students, faculty, and the community. The Political Science Association (PSA), in an attempt to demonstrate its willingness and desire to discuss important issues, has already met face to face with the politics of politics. On Tuesday, Oct. 26, the Student Califor- nia Teachers Association scheduled a seminar geared against Prop. 174 (the school voucher initiative). The PSA was interested in seeing that arguments on both sides of this very important issue were addressed and available to students on campus, and started looking for someone to present the pro-side argument. After being guaranteed a speaker, the PSA went ahead with coordination of the event. At this point, the speaker, a co-author of Prop. 174, demanded equal time with the audience garden hoses as 40-foot flames swept through the hills of Laguna Beach, Thousand Oaks and here at h ome in E scondido m ade m e question if the news media is really as " violence-loving" as m ost people make it out to be. In newspapers, stories about how people have been effected by thefiresreceived equal billing with the destruction those fires caused. Saturday's edition of The Orange County Register had the story "Evacuees treated to hotel party," about how local businesses and community organizations held a Halloween party at a hotel f or families that lost homes in Laguna Beach. The Times Advocate had on Friday's front page a teaser at the t op r eading, " Fire A ftermath: Families look to the future after losing their homes." Again, a look at the ' B' section showed the top story to be about the triumph of the human spirit: "Couple finds 'there is life after the fire."' The story f ocused on E laine a nd N eil Marshburn, who after losing their home in the Guejito fire, returned to the ashes that were once their home and prepared to "build new memories." The words in a commentary attending the SCTA seminar. Part of that audience was allegedly an education class who, it could be argued, would be a captive audience for one side of apolitical issue at the expense of the California taxpayer without giving the opposite side equal time. Nevertheless, the PSA was offering a time slot in which the pro voucher side could be presented. It was scheduled to precede the seminar opposing the issue. The speaker, not convinced that he would receive equal time, withdrew from his commitment to address this campus at the request of PSA. As a result, the issue of school vouchers was not Oct. 28 by KNSD-TV news anchor Rolland Smith echoed the sentiment that the news media can and do care in the f ace of t ragedy: " ...The s tories of n eighbor h elping n eighbor c onfirm o ur d esire f or community. This is a story not only of chewing f lames and charred places, it is a story of h opes and w ishes, shattered dreams and s hock... All we can do in this human family of ours is to be aware, and to care. There is something powerful in that, and it heals. I 'm listening to the wind today, knowing it brings a better day." I aall, last w eek's Southern California fires charred over 135,000acres and destroyed 600 homes. Those numbers are still climbing, but through all of it, the one thing that has not been destroyed is the power of the human spirit to look to the future and rebuild. News reporters have not been afraid to cover this side of the story, and more importantly, have r ecognized the e vent's impact on themselves and on everyone who has been a part of it. properly discussed or presented on this campus. In order to gain knowledge and formulate opinion on an issue, one must listen to arguments in contrast to o ne's own opinion as well as to those that concur. Without doing so is to make an uninformed choice. The decision of the pro Prop. 174 speaker not to speak was a political decision that benefited no one. Must politics always get in the way of politics? The Political Science Association would like to thank the SCTA for addressing this issue. �i i— - l .l l-| '| | " |• •.--•': i"--g - :-' iscrimination A gainst | | | — • i ' s l l i " - •D S — " , • W itches i s Wrong The Other Side of "Greeks" Story Dear Editor: In response to Amy G laspey's "Greeks get Opposition to Halloween Bash," the InterClub Council (ICC) has a total budget of $4,500 f or the entire year to support the activities of about 3 0 clubs. A strong part of the opposition f rom the ICC was that in giving a few clubs (the Greeks) the $1,000 they requested to put on one event, it would possibly excluded other clubs from their portion of that money later in the year. The ICC voted to equally divide the $4,500 with a reserve f or new clubs or emergencies. The other part of the opposition was the irony created by the clubs having given full support to "Red R ibbon" week promoting non-alcoholic lifestyles, and then being asked f or money f or a party with a cash bar at the end of that same week! Some of the clubs have a strong sensitivity to alcohol issues, SALT, American Indian and others feel that alcohol is not conducive to learning and that the school is not a place for an alcohol-oriented party. T he ICC as a body wants no responsibility in this type of affair but each club i s f ree to pursue their own a gendas within the school's guidelines.

Printing—out p aper, g elatin silver p rint. Earthly Constellation—-photographs by Linda Connor By Peter Gorwin Critic-at-Large The Museum of Photographic Art (MOPA) has opened its new exhibition, the work of two photographers, Linda Connor and Ruth Thorne-Thomsen. These photographers have more in common than their gender; they possess a love of subjects ancient and mysterious, and they use their cameras to capture images of things ephemeral and fleeting. However, the way these women set out to record such essences differs like night and day. I found their work so compelling that I decided to review them separately. In this issue, I will concentrate on the work of Linda Connor, a Bay area photographer who teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute. In a documentary which runs with her show, "Earthly Constellation," Linda Connor states that her images revolve around "honoring the spirit." In these transcendental endeavors, she has chosen the tools and techniques of such traditional landscape photographers as Ansel Adams and John Sexton. She uses the 8x10 view camera, not usually the choice f or the woman photographer due to its heavy and unwieldy nature. With the correct exposure and developing techniques, this camera produces an 8x10 inch black & white negative, capable of producing an image unsurpassed in rich tone and detail. As with past masters, Connor chooses to contact print her images, side-stepping the use of an enlarger. Nonetheless, the naked way her prints have been placed in 8x10 inch frames, does them no justice. Mounting and matting her photographs in a more customary way would have better exhibited her work. Technique becomes meaningless if the artist does not use it to reflect carefully chosen subject matter. Connor, an adventurous traveler, has chosen areas as diverse as Nepal, Ireland, Hawaii, Europe, Egypt and the American Southwest in pursuit of "spiritual" subject matter. In seeking the spiritual, her eye gravitates to classic outdoor landscapes, dimly lit interiors of temples and tombs, Native American pictographs, or Celtic stone circles. She proves to be at her best when she weaves antithetical elements into her images, such as those in her photograph, "The Patient One." In it we see a beam of bright sunlight striking an artifact inside a darkened East Indian Temple. Often, when she cannot identify such natural opposites as dark and light which play against one another in her composition, her work takes on a more pedestrian quality, verging on being simply documentary. At these times, her images reflect a safe decision to fall back on her strong technical expertise, relying on subtle themes and elements rather than on more dynamic and compelling ones. Connor captures the spirit best in her spontaneous people images, something usually attained by photographers who use smaller format cameras. Cartier-Bresson serves as the prime example of this. Such photographers usually use wider apertures and faster shutter speeds in order to catch their subjects atjust therightmoment. Remarkably, Connor breaks this rule by using a small aperture, compensating with the usual longer exposure time. With these longer exposures, subjects may blur, but Connor uses this to her advantage often allowing one figure in the image to blur, shifting the viewer's attention to the person who has remained sharp and still.

Phillips, curator of photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the person who organized Connor's show, inadvertently perpetuates gender stereotypes with such statements as, "She (Connor) is one the few women who have explored landscape photography, and endowed this form with a female consciousness." Phillips fails to define what "female consciousness" means, or, for that matter, how this aspect of C onnor's psyche has specifically influenced her images. Certainly, we must commend both women for smashing any glass ceilings which may exist in the photographic world, but the quality of C onnor's art eclipses any myths about gender influences on creation. In the next issue I will review the surrealistic work of Ruth Thorne-Thomsen, the other photographer being shown at this dual exhibition. Her show is entitled, "Within this Garden." I recommend that you get over to MOPA to see these shows which will be running until November 14. For information, call (619) 238-7559. He who will not reason is a bigot; he who cannot is a fool; he who dares not is a slave. —Sir John Drummond �CSUSM Library presents local artist Timothy Hinchliff An exhibit of Timothy Hinchliff s yarn paintings, "Courting the Earth," will open on Friday, Nov. 5 a nd will run until Dec. 2 3. T he exhibit, which includes both yarn paintings and poems written to accompany e ach painting, commemorates the Earth in its many aspects. Hinchliff, a resident of R amona, developed his style and mastery of the yarn painting medium over the last two decades. Y arn paintings a re constructed like a mosaic. A piece of wood is coated with a beeswax mixture and then individual strands of yarn a re pressed into the wax. Many hours are required to develop the color a nd composition of the work. Y arn painting is the traditional art of the Huichol Indians of Nayarit, Mexico. T he intricate paintings depict Huichol mythology and the link between people and nature. T he exhibit is located in the University's library which is on the 3rd floor of C raven Hall. T here will be a reception for the artist on Nov. 5 from 3 to 4 :30 P M in the library's courtyard. T he exhibit is free a nd open to the public during regular library hours which are Monday-Thursday 8 A M to 9 P M; Frday 8 A M to 4 :30 P M; and Saturday 10 A M to 4 P M. Courting the Earth A ltman T akes No S hort C uts in N ew Film Movie Review By Thomas Lee Huntington StaffWriter Robert Altman has long been one of the few American filmmakers unafraid of artistic experimentation. From his early social comedies such as Mash and Nashville to the recent Hollywood satire The Player, Altman has consistently pushed the bounds of cinematic convention, often delivering keen insight into the human condition. Altman's best work is in many ways a reflection on the absurdity and Hopelessness ofmodern life. Thejumpy, nervous camerawork and disjointed, frantic dialogue capture in a unique way the various joys and neuroses of his characters. It is appropriate, then, that Altman would turn to the writings of minimalist short-story master Raymond Carver for cinematic inspiration. Carver (recently deceased) was interested in the blandness and fragility of everyday existence. His stories are tightly structured snapshots of extraordinary moments in ordinary lives, introducing a few charac- ters and then taking them in the least-expected direction. In his new film Short Cuts (playing exclusively at San Diego's Park Theater), Altman has taken a handful of Carver stories, changed the location from the midwest to Los Angeles and created what is perhaps the finest film of his career. Altman does not so much adapt these stories as interpret them. The stories are loosely woven together in distinct Altman fashion, complete with his characteristic quick cutting and unique camera angles. The beauty of the film lies in the fact that the Carver material works so well within that stylistic framework. It is a marvelous marriage of artistic mediums: Altaian's dramatic and visual sense brings the stories to life in the same way that Carver's deeply drawn, insightful characters and situations give weight to the director's vision. A plot summary would be useless for a film of this complexity and scope, and part of the joy of the movie lies in watching the various stories turn in unexpected directions. Compelling, flawed characters are introduced and relationships are established at a leisurely pace. Some of the stories take tragic turns that send ripples throughout the film. By the end, every individual story has been in some way affected by another story, creating a fragile web of relationships and circumstances holding the narrative together. It certainly helps that Altman has assembled a cast of some of the finest actors in film. Matthew Modine, Tim Robbins, Lily Tomlin, Fred Ward and Jack Lemmon are j ust a few of the standouts on a crowded list. The director has given his cast a great deal of freedom to improvise dialogue and approach their characters as they seefit,and that gives the film much of its gritty, home-movie kind of ambiance. The actors work off of each other very naturally. Even the dramatic, scenery-chewing roles seem realistic and unrehearsed. Altman has woven isolated characters and events together in a coincidental and subtle way; the characters are oftentimes connected in ways only the viewer can see. But these coincidental, unseen connections are the driving force behind many of the film's main events. That is the genius of Altman's technique. He has taken the small, literary lands Carver created and bound them together in one big cinematic world. The viewer is able to sit back and see the connections the characters cannot, to observe the "short cuts" that tie everything together. �Babysitting "I think she's poor," mother told me. How do you know? "Just from the way she dresses . . . I just have a feeling about it. I'm pretty sure she has a messy house too. Make sure you tell me, okay?" It's poor by my standards, but not really poverty. The contrast opens my eyes and makes me that much more aware of the world around me. I realize how much I have and how good my life is. They have tasteless macaroni and cheese for dinner yet cheap ice cream for dessert. "Sit on the floor with your ice cream if you want to watch t.v." "Mom said we can't sit on the floor 'cuz there's lice in the carpet." "Okay. I guess we won't sit on the floor anymore." Aftr sharing a toothbrush, they sleep in their underwear— the heat is unbearable. Parents divorced, they live with mom. Life is hard. The ugly separation remains branded in their hearts, a painful memory. T he driDDins f aucet k eens m e a wake so I w atch c able on t heir s mall t .v. It is ironic, and I sadly smile thinking of the ice cream and cable. This is an old house, yet big enough for their family of three. The waiting ends as she returns to wake the kids and drive me home. With the twenty dollar bill in hand I feel guilty and wonder if I shouldhave made an exception to my two dollar per hour fee. But the feeling doesn't last long as I see my house. I step quietly over the threshold into the comfort of my own home, ready for sleep, and in the morning . . . church. Naomi Fink Choices I can make my own decisions, My own choices. I know what is for me and, what is not. I do not need anyone to decide for me. Do not tell me you know what is best for me. You do not. At times it seems you do not know what is best for you You set yourself up as my judge Without knowing who I am You want to tell me how to live My life In my body in my spirit You ask me to believe that I cannot decide what is right Forme. You who kill by the thousands You who destroy and maim And cast aside those who are Maimed and destroyed in yourname Would you accuse me of murder Because I choose to own my body Because I choose to remove from my body something I do not want Oh ye with faces looking in all directions Ye, who would kill for no reason, in a heartbeat And justify it. Ye who would Judge your fellowman by his skin color Or religious choice or sexual preference How dare you proclaim to sit in judgment of me You are not God Though you would have us think so And think on this Even God in her glory and power Does not judge me for what I do It is my life, it is my body Step aside or be trod upon. Arajeje c. 1991 HP n m •'waSKr 'The Constant Sinner" — Mae West on the Issue of Race Come listen to an interesting lecture on actress, writer, and legendary sex symbol Mae West, and the representation of race in her art. Jill Watts, Assistant Professor of History, Nov. 18,6 PM, ACD 305 A lecture presented by the Argonaut Society (History Club) �Campus Alcohol Policy Focuses on responsibility through education By J an C ooper StaffWriter Recent activity at the ICC meetings has left many students wondering j ust What is the university's policy on alcohol. A complete copy of the University Interim Alcohol Policy is available from the O ffice of Student Activities. This policy provides a comprehensive approach to alcohol use which is sensitive to the individual while preserving the academic environment of the university. The policy is two-part: the philosophical foundation of the interim policy and interim alcohol regulations. The philosophical foundation maintains C SUSM's commitment to providing a supportive environment that encourages students to pursue intellectual, professional, and personal development. As the use of alcohol may interfere with this pursuit on an individual basis and have an adverse affect on the university c ommunity, the present alcohol policy promotes responsible approaches and considerations of alcohol use through education, counseling support, and regulation enforcement. The Office of Counseling and Psychological Services; Studefit Health Services, and the Office of Student Activities provide re- source materials, educational programs, workshops, and activities which discuss alcohol and substance abuse. Psychological services are also available to CSUSM students through individual counseling, support groups, selfhelp strategies, and community resource referrals. While students may seek assistance for their own abuse, it is not uncommon for them to seek help regarding a friend or family member. The purpose of the interim alcohol policy is to provide basic guidelines for the sale, serving, and consumption of alcoholic beverages on CSUSM property. Appropriate written approval (see a complete copy f or details) must be obtained, and a reasonable list of activities must be followed, including abiding by university, federal, and state regulations regarding alcohol; providing a nonalcoholic beverage alternative, and maintaining behavior and activities appropriate to a university setting. If your organization plans to sponsor an event where alcohol will be served, or if you plan to participate in one, it may be wise to review a complete copy of the University Interim Alcohol Policy. Any questions should be addressed to the Director of Student Activities. CAMPUS MUSIC seeks student intern to work 5 hours per week, visit local record stores, work with major record labels. In exchange, we give you free CDs, T-shirts and excellent music industry reference. Call (818) 886-9181 ASAP and ask for Colin.

All of these needs are answered when you become an Adventure Team Leader with Los Caballeros de Aventura, an non-profit organization whose mission it is to divert at-risk youth away from gangs and gang activity. They do this by scheduling a continual series of high adventures such as hiking, camping, fishing, scuba diving, mountain climbing, and many, many other activities. With this type of program, Los Caballeros has become part of a successful community effort to reduce drive-by shootings in Escondido by 54% in the past year. Los Caballeros is looking for young adults for the Adventures themselves as well as to work in the elementary, middle, and high school classrooms, and/ or in the home outreach program. Great leadership training is provided and participation results in great companionship and great new friendships. Most of all volunteers will receive a great sense of accomplishment.

Are we moving away from the Mission Statement: there were questions about whether multiculturalism, writing in all courses and the role of a second language. The second language discussion has its roots in both the international emphasis and in the acquisition of an understanding of another culture. The students suggested another University Mission Statement Day (UMSD) type activity which deals specifically with these issues. We will talk with the student and faculty leadership about another UMSD to see if there is interest in pursuing this event. 5. How will we communicate the discussions of this Forum to the University Community and especially the students? Through the PRIDE is one way (and the reason for this article). 6. What is the policy on students getting e mail accounts and to whom should we go to get accounts? When a student wants an e-mail account, they should contact Teresa Macklin in Computing Services (7524787). She will then set them up with their own e-mail account. 7. What can be done about increasing student participation in campus events? Attending students complained about the posting policy and the lack of available space in very public areas for posting. We will need to revisit this issue this semester. I would suggest a draft by Associated Students after discussions with Sandy Kuchler, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Bridget BaileyMeier, Director Student Activities and Alumni Services 8. There is not enough time between Final Exams and there can be too many in one day. The finals schedule is set, as a policy matter, by committee. I will ask Ms. Eugenia Villamarin to review the situation and check into the number of conflicts or multiple exams in one day which are in the fall schedule. . To extend the final exam schedule to five or more days from four would require action on the part of Academic r i i i i i i i i i i L, Senate. If you have any comments about the final exam schedule, please contact Ms. Villamarin at752-4326. Remember that once the exam is over, the faculty member's work on thefinalstarts. The earlier that the exams are finished, the faster they can be graded. 9. Why aren't parking regulations changed for weekends? Why can't students park in the "upper lots" on Saturday, Sunday and after 5 pm on weekdays? Per Mr. Arnold Trujillo, Director of Public Safety, students with a current semester parking permit are allowed to park in the faculty/ staff parking lot on Saturdays and Sundays. Effective immediately (see related article elsewhere in this issue of The Pride), evening students currently enrolled at CSUSM who hold a current semester parking permit may exchange that permit for a Special "PM" Parking Permit at Public Safety Services in the University Services Building. The Special "PM" Parking Permit allows students to park in the faculty/staff parking lot after 5 PM and in the student parking lots any time. There is no charge for the permit exchange. Enrollment in evening classes will be verified before a "PM" Parking Permit is issued. Public Safety business hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 10 PM. 10. When will athletics come and will it change the academic climate around here? At present, especially in light of the budget difficulties there is no motion towards intercollegiate athletics. We will be moving toward recreational sports (and hope to have some on campus) in the near future. There has been talk of beach volleyball, some informal soccerfieldsand so on but there is are no formal plans yet. 11. There is difficulty with the writing requirement as there are many ways to write formally and students get confused between the styles of MLA, APA, and that which the College of Business Administration wants. I will bring this issue up to the deans of the College and to Dr. Ken Mendoza who is director of the Writing Center. If anyone has specific comments about the writing requirement, please call Richard Molloy (752-4900), Dr. Mendoza (752-4076) or Richard Millman (752-4050) so that we can include them into the discussions.

Do you have any curiousity about West African political systems or how computers fit into plans of a developing country? In January 1993, a group of 13 CSU San Marcos students, faculty and related community members answered some of these questions for themselves in a three-week visit to Ghana. Initial meetings to organize a similar trip for December 1994-January 1995 are currently being held by the Ghana Project, a campus organization established by previous Ghana exchange participants and other interested people. Whether you are serious or curious, whether your interest is Africa or Mexico, whether you are an experienced world traveler or have never made it beyond Poway, you are encouraged to learn more about this extraordinaiy opportunity. If you were not able to attend Professor Jennie Spencer Green's presentation on Nov. 18, more information about the Ghana Trip and the Ghana Project can be obtained at the Peer Advising Center in Arts and Sciences or in the campus Student Activities Office.

D esigned t o C hallenge S tudents In-Course Honors work at CSUSM is designed to serve academically motivated undergraduate students, who desire to meet and feel prepared to meet expanded intellectual demands, and who are committed to the highest standards of rigorous academic performance. In-Course Honors work occurs in currently scheduled courses and is based on a contract between the student and the eligible faculty instructor for enriched academic work that extends the subject matter of the course. The CSUSM University Honors Program is designed to serve eligible students who wish a sustained Honors experience ineluding student/faculty camaraderie and community involvement and who wish to graduate with University Honors. University Honors is distinct from Latin Honors which is based soley on grade point averae 8Students involved in all Honors work at CSUSM will be challenged to demonstate excellent academic performance, extending beyond standard course demands, to achieve growth of intellectual independence and initiative, and toicontribute to the scholarly environment of the institution. Honors work is offerred as part of the Mission Statement of CSUSM to "uphold a high level of academic scholarship in research and teaching" with the ultimate goal "to enable students to realize their potentialities as enlightened individuals and productive members of society in a world of change." Students, may self-select to participate in In-Course Honors work at any stage of their academic career by pursuing an Honors contract in any currently scheduled course taught by a permanent faculty member. Any student, regardless of test scores and grade point average, may decide that a particular course, in any semester, provides the opportunity to apply for Honors ' participation. A preliminary list of preapproved courses in which Honors contracts are encouraged appears in the Class Schedule each semester. The Honors contract enables students to participate in the regular class while doing additional Honors work. The interested student should contactthepermanentfaculty member who will teach the course in order to develop jointly an Honors contract. Alternatively, students interested. in a specific course listed in the current Class Schedule and taught by a permanent faculty member may contact the Director of the University Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall. Recognition of successful completion of each in-Course Honors contract is made on the student's official transcript and on the student's semester grade report, T h e student and permanent faculty member will collaborate on the work that will constitute the Honors portion of the course, T h e University Honors Committee must app r o v e both the In-Course Honors portion of t h e course and the specific contract work, Honors Contract forms will be available from participating faculty, from the Director of the University Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall, or from the Office of Curriculum Serv i c e s i n 5 2 i o Craven Hall. All approvals m u s t be obtained prior to the end of the second week of classes, Students may become members of the University Honors Program by completing at least two Honors Courses with grades B or better and holding a CSUSM grade point average of 3.2 or better. Continuation requires Honors credit in at least one course for every other semester of enrollment as a CSUSM student and maintenance of a CSUSM grade point average of 3.2 6r better, Completion of the University Honors Prog r a m requires 12 units of In-Course Honors w o r k, the 3-unit Honors Seminar University 400, documentation of at least 40 hours of meaningful community service, and a CSUSM grade point average of at least 3.2. University 400 is an all-University Honcourse restricted to students in the University Honors Program. It is based on a seminar model, and it will entail a high level Df student preparation and intellectual engagement between students and professor, This seminar is the capstone course, the culm i na tion of an academically challenging and rewarding Honors experience, shared by all University Honors Program students. The community service requirement may be satisfied by a very broad spectrum of qualifying activity intended to help to instill a sense of concerned citizenship. Each Honors Program participant Collaborates with the University Honors Committee in order to define t h e i r qualifying service activity. Completion Qf t h e University Honors Program will be explicitly noted on the student's diploma and official transcript, and the student will qualify f o r University Honors at their graduation, ors More details on In-Course Honors work on the University Honors Program are available from the Director of the University Honors Program in 6227 Craven Hall and �6 v "s - - ^ »....

Responses ranged from "I could write a book about my volunteering experiences" to " I've always wanted to volunteer but haven't had time yet - but when I do, I would like t o . . . " and they continued by describing the type of involvement they would most enjoy. These volunteering experiences and desires were gathered in interviews on the spot or written by students on a short questionnaire. Information about CSUSM's students' past, present and future (desired) volunteer activities, reflections and comments were gathered by some of the students, staff, and faculty serving on the Outreach Service-Learning Sub-Committee, as well as some of the Circle K members. November 8th was the first day of "Service Week" for this club that is dedicated to serving the community. Students' experiences on volunteering provide information so that these endeavors can be recognized and shared with others. Sharen Wahl, a Liberal Studies major, stated that, "Volunteering is a great way to explore the working/career world while one is at the decision-making stage. It provides the opportunity to experience without full commitment." Sharen had first volunteered in a veterinary hospital which led to later volunteer work for Project Wildlife. More recently, she had volunteered in a 5th grade class, and now in the 4th grade as part of the requirements for ED 350. During the past two years she has been a Liberal Studies Peer Advisor volunteer here on campus. Sharen, like many others, balances her commitments while prioritizing school studies and family obligations. Many commented that volunteering was rewarding and fulfilling. Naomi Fink, aLiberal Studies major from Temecula, commented, "Little things that happen make volunteering all worth it. I love to help people and volunteering allows you to meet a lot of special people also. There's so many benefits to volunteering that won't all fit here." Naomi promises to share a nonfiction story she wrote about her experiences in a future issue. : P ROiEillilii: «] g i l l i e Students Opportunity to Care P roject H ero, a v olunteer m entoring f i r o ^ r t ^ y outh i n 1 E sporidido n e e d s c ollege s t u d e n t s t o w ork w ith j unior h igh a nd h igh s chool; s t u d e n t s t o 1 o ptions.

The playwright has strung together a series of character monologues with a thread of female consciousness running through them all, an ode to the alienation of black women in America. Herjazzbased prose style reminds us of such writers as Xam Wilson Cartier and Ralph Ellison; her characters deliver their many colored break-away riffs directly to the audience like flute, violin, or even tenor sax solos. Shange simply names her players the Lady in Yellow, Lady in Purple, Lady in Red, Lady in Orange, Lady in Green, Lady in Blue, and Lady in Brown—seven characters in search of their true identities as mothers, wives, lovers or daughters, spanning various levels of the American social class structure. The play's director, Arajeje, has adroitly guided the entire company of actresses into unselfish performances with an approach which has almost entirely eliminated the selfconsciousness and stiffness usually witnessed in amateur productions. All of the actresses adequately take stage when their moment to shine comes; some sing their songs energetically and bravely, while others sing their songs more modestly. Nonetheless, every actress performs like a natural woman: Dilcie D. Perez, Lady in Blue, distinguishes herself by speaking Shange's prose with great confidence, truth and passion; DorindaMcCombs,Lady in Green, understands what it takes to make Shange come alive, openly playing her monologues with a city-smart abandonment; Denise Hollis, Lady in Orange, brings a straightforward, blues thing to her stories; Karen Walker, Lady in Brown, holds her own as the most experienced actress in the company; Ramona De Sanchez, Lady in Purple, brings a quiet, sexy, sophistication to her performance; Tricia Henlon, Lady in Red, demonstrates enormous inner life, economy and intensity for a young actress; and Deborah Davis, Lady in Yellow, says her words with great truth, simplicity and honesty. This labor of love transcends the dimly lit, sadly inadequate confines of what passes for a theater in ACD 102. Wisely, the set and costumes were kept simple, focusing the audiences attention on the high degree of naturalness and, for the most part, energy that these women bring to the stage, again, highly unusual for beginning actresses. Frank Bailey-Meier's original funky, blues-based music contributed just the right back- Cast Members include (L-R): Denise Hollis, Dorinda McCombs, Karen Walker, Deborah Davis, Dilcie Perez and Center, Ramona de Sanchez THEATER REVIEW ground for the actresses to play off of, blending nicely with the sound and movement that the company has brought to Shange's words. Bridget Bailey-Meier is to be commended for her vision in getting this production presented, exactly the kind of grass-roots, cultural events which should be encouraged and nurtured here on campus. I t's regrettable that this production ran for only two performances. It would be great if it could be resurrected at some point so that more students might have the opportunity to appreciate it. Arajeje, Director of For Colored Girls...

Full-time, professional musicians, the SMSJB features hot soloists, great showmanship and stylistic versatility. Almost everyone in the band plays more than one instrument, allowing the SMSJB to cover the gamut from traditional to swing to modern. For more than 25 years, the band members have combined their worldclass playing at shows and festivals across the country, with performances with big name entertainment such as Woody Herman, Buddy Rich, Sarah Vaughn, and others. The South Market Street Jazz Band will perform at CSUSM on Sunday, Nov. 21 at 3 PM in Academic Hall Room 102. Ticket prices are $3.00 for CSUSM students and $5.00 for General Admission. Tickets may be purchased at the CSUSM bookstore or by phone (752-4730). For more information about the South Market Street Jazz Band, call the Arts and Lectures office at 752-4945. A CSUSM Quilt? A University seal, a University mascot—OK! But a University quilt? "Why not," said a group of students, faculty and staff who were part of the first years of CSUSM. Quilts are traditional ways to record important events. Quilts are also traditional ways to build friendships and a sense of community. For all these reasons, plus a desire to break the routine of hard work which goes with building a new university, the Quilting Bees came together in the summer of 1992 to design a signature quilt to memorialize the first two years at CSUSM. In choosing a design, the quilters looked for a simple pattern which would incorporate a wide variety of donated fabric. They decided on Roman Square which allowed them to include a white "signature block" in each of the squares. Signatures for the quilt were solicited in Founders Plaza on a hot October day. For a $2 donation, anyone could sign. $300 was collected for donation to the Carol Cox Scholarship for re-entry students. Now the quilt top sits in a frame about half quilted. Beginning on Tuesday, Nov. 23, the Quilting Bees will display the quilt in the Dome, demonstrate quilting techniques and share quilting stories. The quilters hope to finish this project soon so they can start on another. Experienced or not, everyone is invited to participate. If Tuesday is not your day but you are still interested in quilting, see Pat Worden or Leslie Zomalt in the College of Arts and Sciences for further information.

It is every American's right to choose to embrace the dangers of drug abuse once he or she has been presented with all the facts. When druginduced actions become a threat to the safety of others, of course, punitive action is certainly warranted. And, as with alcohol, drugs must remain unavailable to children unable to fully comprehend the negative effects of their actions. Civil rights have long been subject to restriction in the American political system. It is a trade-off that any functioning democracy is forced to make; citizens must tolerate restraints on individual behavior in order to protect the safety of the citizenry on the whole.

The A.S. would like to stress to all students that the alcohol policy in place at the present time is an interim policy. Until the policy is approved by both the Associated Students and Academic Senate, it will not have permanence. However, once the policy is voted upon and approved it will be difficult to change or replace. This fact remains important since at present, the policy remains a temporary one and as such is still open to input and change from all students, faculty and staff. If you have any questions, comments, or recommendations regarding the policy, the Associated Students urges you t o make your voice heard as soon as possible by calling the Associated Students' o ffice at752-4990, or by stopping in at Commons 205. Once this policy is in place it will be extremely burdensome to change. Please do not wait until it is too late to be heard. Suzanne Clark A.S.

I found their work so compelling that I decided to review them separately. In the last issue, I concentrated on the work of Linda Connor. In this issue I discuss Ruth Thorne-Thomsen's fantastical exhibition, "Within this Garden." Thomsen builds her images around themes from historical eras, movements in literature, and mythology. By blending separate images normally linked to diverse times and places, she achieves what may best be described as New Age Surrealism: her photos effectively transcend time and space, capturing dream states neither from the past, the present, nor the future, but somewhere we can not exactly identify. Her romantic, avant-garde images pay homage to such painters as Dali and Magrite but possess enough originality to stand on their own. Thomsen stimulates our imaginations by using symbol, metaphor and irony ; the veiy existence jofthis cutting edge work shoots down unimaginative critics who have suggested that photography has limitations as a viable and versatile artistic medium. Thomsen rejects the conventional camera, resorting to a pinhole camera which may be constructed out of any light-tight chamber simply by drilling a minute hole in the front of it. By ^creating a camera out of something as simple as cal treat on many levels. The extreme depth-of-field produced by the tiny pin hole create optical illusions related to object sizes from the foreground to the background of the image. Playing with this allows Thomsen to create some of her paradoxes and ironies. For example, sometimes a person standing in the background seems dwarfed by a seemingly huge object in the foreground, actually a small facsimile of a classical statue, pyramid, or monolith. In using these simple techniques, Thomsen make sophisticated statements about our preconceptions and expectations of what we expect from an image made by a camera— usually a safe and conventional reaffirmation of our own lies and myths. She cleverly uses her camera to make these didactic images which challenge our images of the truth, thereby making us question those safe realities which we cling to. Thomsen clearly shows us that the camera lies, and that it allows us to use it as both a rhetorical and artistic medium. In this regard, she also makes a Clear philosophical allusion to the skepticism created when discoveries and events challenge our perception of the truth, an homage to the atmosphere which has spawned past golden ages. a shoe box or an empty cylindrical oat meal box, Thomsen creates a metaphor for her own images. Her work is a true paradox—photographs which are dif- ferent from the way we usually think of them, made by art unconventional camera. This makes her entire exhibit a phenomenal, whimsi- Ruth Thorne-Thomsen now has a book of her adventurous work which may be purchased at the Museum of Photographic Art's bookstore.

The group was formed by Don Funes, a visual and performing arts professor; composer, conductor; recording engineer; chamber and orchestral performer, musicologist and ethnomusicologist. Funes received his doctorate in musical arts from the University of Oregon. Dr. Funes1 interest in music and culture led him to conduct and intensive study of Andean music. He began in 1986, and in 1991 received an NEH Fellowship to study Latin American music and culture. CHASQUI plays music from the Andean region of South America on over 20 different instruments unique to the peoples of this area. The guitar is the only European instrument that the ensemble uses. Although they favor the music of Bolivia and Peru, they also play music from Ecuador; Chile and Argentina, the countries that were part of the Inca Empire. They also sing in Spanish and Quecha. CHASQUI features Dr. Don Funes, Fermin Sanchez and Eduardo Garcia (originally from Mexico), Raul Ay lion from Bolivia and Gunnar Biggs. The group is dedicated to bringing appreciation of Andean music and culture to America. You can hear CHASQUI perform Wednesday, December 1, at 12 Noon, in ACD 102. Members of Chasqui are (left to right): Fermin Sanchez, Eduardo Garcia, Dr. Don Funes, Gunnar Biggs and Raul Aylion (not shown) T VE N EVER M ET A M ORE L OVING G ROUP O F P EOPLE, O R P EOPLE M ORE D EDICATED T O H ELPING E XPECTANT M OTHERS A T A TIME W HEN T HEY N EED H ELP T HE M O S T / ' Explore the world this winter. 1 9 9 4 W I N T E R S E S S I O N ( J A N U A R Y 3 - 2 1 ) AT C A L I F O R N I A S T A T E U N I V E R S I T Y .

The other red dress lands you your new job. Sports cars speed through the night. Flashy, heated moments stir powerful emotions. The power you feel when you attend a board meeting in red socks. Reflections of light glistening as the sun sets beyond the horizon. A Porsche speeds through Malibu, leaving a mere red trace. Illicit remarks painted on slashed canvas. Soft spoken words on steamy phone lines. Red chiffon scarves and straw hats worn opening day at the races. Heated passions engorge the imagination when lipstick smoothes warm, wet lips. Pursed red lips leave no room for kissing. The mark a woman leaves on a m an's face. The mark mother leaves on her litde angel. A hint of suspicion—smeared red lipstick all over her face. Consequently, days later, lipstick found on his collar. Strawberry creams atop a torte. Strawberry shortcake, a freckled-face doll. Juicy red raspberries, awaiting their digestion in the pit of a red-walled stomach. Fornication at night; sex in the day; a quick frolic in the hay? Ruby red grapefruit, cherries the color of blood. Childhood memories of that bicycle spill, an open wound, and that gash in your knee, your father in a rage. Bloodshot eyes, suspicions arise. Drunkards, d ruggies... lover's quarrels, heated discussions, Othello's rage of jealousy. Lucille Ball. Red heads. Charred remains of smoldering pains brand memories in our heads. Red roses brought on a warm summer n ight Red roses flung with all her might. A bloody fingers erupts from the broken vase. A scorpion sting when influenced by fiery mars.

Red wine devoured at dusk. Dracula dripping with tonight's dessert. A library tailored in dark, rich wood, filled with lingering cigar smoke, and the smoking jacket for tonight's entanglements. Red flags represent Russian revolution, Chinese communism. Oppression equates bloodshed. Red, white and blue mean freedom for me and you. Red signifies death to the Crips, and life for the Bloods. Evoking violence, betrayal of life, and death to the innocent, red portrays bleak pictures in the neighborhood, el barrio, as the Mexican, Chicanos, and Latinos say. Redrum, murder. Maraschino cherries full of infamous red dye #5. RedM&Ms disappear and reappear. Cancer-causing agents disappoint unwitting children. Santa Claus brings happy thoughts and stockings stuffed with lollipops. Red ribbons, red bows, merry Christmas with the fire aglow. Firemen to the rescue. Heroes of children, saviors of us all. Sirens shouting, alarms alerting us to get out of the way of the help on its way. Fire hydrants. Fire dogs—Dalmatians with red collars. Brake lights, traffic jams, stop signs. Inevitable red lights flash when late and in a rush. Congestion. Confusions. Frustration. In cartoons, heads turn red, and release steam via blood-filled ears. We go straight down in a blaze of glory. Conversely, we go up to the flashy red lights of heaven, or the deepest pits of hell, depending on our own subjective views. Red bricks provide meals for bricklayers, and shelter for their families. Red roofs insulate tiled homes and furnish the Baja Coast with aesthetic delights. Roll out the red carpet; the queen arrives today. Observing her royal red throne, we all obey. i Sl.Tf.

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

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

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

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

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

Volunteers Robert Wortmanand Ann Garman By Marilyn Ribble "More people should volunteer. The world would be a better place," said Robert Wortman, president of the Accounting Club, last week at the recent Service-Learning Volunteer table in the Plaza. Wortman has been a volunteer in such diverse areas as Boy Scouts and Volunteer Research for the State Board of Equalization. Wortman is a Business/Accounting major and will participate in the VITA project to assist low income people with tax forms this spring. Yvonne McCarty, a Liberal Studies major, found personal satisfaction in her volunteer hours with the Red Cross, fundraising, as the Art Club treasurer and says about the field of volunteering, "I recommend it to everyone. It is a wonderful professional and personal growth experience." In addition, Yvonne is president of SCTA and the Liberal Studies Ckib vice president. CSUSM is very committed to building a service-learning base and has begun by initiating several events to call attention to what is a progressive and new element in education. Over 100 students stopped by the table in Founder's "I truly enjoy volunteering. It gives me self satisfaction knowing that you have made someone smile," said Ann Garman. Garman, an Accounting major, has an impressive list of volunteering in her background. Ask her about it sometime, or, in brief, here's a few of the areas Ann has chosen: Special Olympics, Best Buddies Club, President of Circle K at CSUSM, Christmas Angel Project for kids this Christmas. And in Ann's f uture she sees herself in Kiwanis Club and continuing with Circle K as an advisor. Richard Molloy, a Psychology major, also has contributed his time as a volunteer. Molloy gives his past experiences as helping with the Indian Fair in 1992 at CSUSM, organizing the first Associated Student Endowed Scholarship. Currently Molloy is a volunteer at the International Festival and an Associated Student Council president. And what does he see for himself in the future? Molloy says maybe the Peace Corps, maybe in the field of migrant labor. Service-learning is proud of the accomplishments of everyone who took the time to speak with us. Achievements and the inner growth attributed to volunteering marks CSUSM as a campus with a heart. As we read and reflect on each of these profiles, a remarkable thing comes to light, that "it's more rewarding to give than to receive." It definitely appears that CSUSM has lots of students who agree with Robert Wortman's statement that volunteering is a way to make the world a better place.

Uaire Langham, Service-Learning Coordinator �Profile of a CSUSM Student Volunteer By Claire K. Langham Service-Learning Coordinator "In my new start in life, volunteering opened the doors to my career path as a computer trainer and consultant," explained Linda Amor, a senior in the College of Business Administration. "Volunteering directly resulted in my current employment and has provided immeasurable opportunities. The directions at this point are unlimited for me" she elaborated. "Absolutely no one makes it alone in this world. Everyone at some time needs help. Likewise, everyone has something to offer other people. It is for this reason," she stated, "that everyone should be willing to give as well as to receive support." After living for several years in Hawaii, Linda returned to San Diego in the fall of 1987 as a newly single parent of three young children ages 1, 7, and 9. She had minimal resources, four suitcases, and virtually no computer experience. Determination and vision are the "inner resources" that have been key to Linda's survival and success. It really all started because of Linda's own need to improve her skills. She analyzed her situation and decided that mastering computers would be the key to security and opportunities for herself and her family. Linda's natural interests are in people, their warmth, and the creativity found in the visual arts, music, and writing. She also finds sciences fascinating. However, computers were her logical, rational decision for study. Initially, to implement her decision to develop computer skills, Linda arranged to barter for the use of a computer in exchange for her services as a personal and business manager for an individual who was living outside the US. 85% of the year. Naively, Linda initially thought she could learn the computer within two months. She had not realized the magnitude of her decision, nor the academic journey that lay ahead. Photo/Claire Langham Linda enrolled in a self-paced ROP (Regional Occupation Program) computer class in Escondido. She taught herself Word Perfect and other programs. "Actually, I have to admit to playing stupid in the lab so I would not be rotated after learning the software basics." Her goal was to master the entire computer system. Apparently, Linda had a hidden talent, but she was also driven. She worked extremely long hours, 12 to 16 hours a day at a computer studying or writing manuals. She was so unhappy with the existing computer manuals, that she began writing many of her own. Linda's mastery soon exceeded opportunities through ROP, so she expanded into other programs and began networking. Linda encountered many others who were experiencing the same frustration with lack of good manuals or instruction. She began helping others as a volunteer in small groups. In the process, she discovered really early that she had a great propensity to help other people. Thus, as she was learning new skills, she was teaching them to other people. This lead to requests for her to give training lectures to a variety of businesses and special interest groups. Through this exposure, she was offered her first credentialed teaching position in a computerized desktop publishing class for the San Diego Community College Adult Education Program. Ironically, Linda had found an indirect means of expressing her interest in art through practical computer applications. Why is Linda a business major? Her decision to return to school was based on the need to understand the principles of the computer applications that she was teaching, and the needs of the businesses being addressed. For example, she was teaching spreadsheet applications and needed to understand basic accounting principles. Volunteering continues to be important to Linda. "I routinely offer my time and services to others. One of the most rewarding experiences is when people I have helped come back later and thank me for having opened a door for them."

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

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

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

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

Friday, January 28,1994 Bookstore Blahs Amy Glaspey Staff Writer "Books cost too much," drones the founder of Crown Books, promoting his discounted bestsellers. It is not until we write checks for $300twice a year that his words hit home. At the end of each semester, students get back a portion of their textbook investment during book buy back days. This fall, the University bookstore advertised "up to 50% cash back for your used books." Experienced textbook consumers know it is often smarter to keep their texts than take their chances during book buy back. Some students are shocked to find that their $50 textbook is worthless after four months of infrequent use. This is how book buy back works.

"The bookstore is being unprofessional by blaming the teachers," said one CSUSM senior. "The store is not as responsive to students needs as they could be." He cites the problem with the University Store is insufficient textbook inventory. Failure to have an adequate number of books on hand at the beginning of each semester "compromises the university." "My first semester at CSUSM, I had to wait over one month for a sociol- ogy text. My teacher came from CSU Long Beach and got his order in late," remarks one student. One cause of late requisition forms, according to a University Store staff person, is the existence of part-time faculty. Parttime professors who get hired two weeks before the semester begins simply do not have a chance to get in their orders on time The CSUSM senior refuses to accept the University Store's explanations. "If there is something wrong with the system, they should change the system. If the orders come in late, the book store should place a rush order with the publisher." Former Saint Joseph resident graduates from CSUSM It is never too late to pursue your dreams. This past December, Hazel Scott "Scotti" Aretakis, 54, fulfills her lifetime dream of getting a college degree. She graduates from California State University San Marcos with a bachelor's degree in sociology. Aretakis attributes this accomplishment to her mother. "My mother taught me and my brother, Bill Scott, to have a sense of our own self-worth and to ersevere even in the face of adversity. It is these and the other values that she instilled in me as a child that gave me the strength to pursue a college education," said Aretakis.

All of those students who plan to return here next semester and were born in 1957 or later, will need to provide proof of a Measles and Rubella immunization prior to registering next semester. Those who do not comply will receive an I-Hold notice, which states that they will not be allowed to register until they submit the required form. The staff of Student Health Services is available Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM to help students meet this re- quirement. Students who have immunization records should bring them to the Student Health Services Clinic to receive a clearance. The staff can assist students who need to send away f or their medical records. Students who need to receive the vaccine can do so at no charge at any time during the semester. It is highly advisable to do this early in the semester to avoid long lines later. To make an appointment f or an immunization, call 752-4915, or stop by t he clinic. The Student Health Services Center is located on the first floor of Craven Hall. It is the first door on the right as you are facing the building. Photo/Carlos Mariscal Susan Mendes, LVN, Health Education Assistant, assists in Nutritional Counseling SERVICES Nutritional counseling now available at SHS Student Health Services now has appointments available for private, individual nutrition counseling with students. At the session, students are asked to bring in a three-day food diary that records everything they have eaten during that time. This information is then entered into the computer. Using a new, specialized health program called Nutritionist IE, the nurse is able to give the student a complete six-page dietary analysis. This indicates the total nutrients and calories consumed, percentage of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as recommendations for excesses and deficiencies. The nurse then reviews the report with the student and makes recommendations for healthy dietary changes. Computerized body fat testing is also available by appointment. For this test, a small, sticky electrode is attached to the patient's wrist and ankle. The analyzer measures the body's resistance and reactance The results of this test are then entered into a computer program which gives a body profile analysis, which includes such information as percentage of body fat and percentage of lean muscle tissue, as well as BMR, or basal metabolic rate. This is very important, as it indicates the exact number of calories that person burns every day. Activity level and specific exercises can be factored in to indicate the number of calories burned with increased activity. This information can be especially helpful for students who want to lose or gain weight, reduce body fat, or build up muscle. To make an appointment for either of these services, call Susan Mendes at Student Health Services, 752-4915.

Davis, Ph.D. Contributing Writer This is addressed to students who face a new semester of new courses, new teachers and new texts. How will you cope with so many unknowns? You have a choice—fear and trembling or confidence and assurance. Now is the time to decide. As you give personal thought and time to the way you plan to approach what's ahead, consider the statement made by the famous psychologist, Carl Menninger: Attitudes are more important than facts. How does this bear on the problem of facing unknowns? In the first place, all these unknowns are facts. You just aren't aware of them. You can't control them. But you do have a choice; the way in which you perceive the facts. This is where your attitude comes in. In the second place, your attitude is a choice you can make. You decide the mental position by which you want to perceive the undeniable facts. In an attempt to reach your goals, remember, your attitude is a key. It can be a roadblock or a doorway to success. If you have the slightest tinge of apprehension, let me tell you how I put it to my students in statistics. We repeated the familiar refrain from a children's story, ' The Little Train That Could"— I think I can, I think I can, I think I have a plan And I can do most anything if I only think I can Simply stated, you can succeed if you give yourself a chance. With a positive attitude, you can achieve your goals this spring semester.

Beginning with a morning kick-off on campus, students from CSUSM clubs and organizations will participate in activities they have planned involving services for those in our surrounding community. Student leaders are actively involved in planning community services and they welcome participation from students, faculty,, and staff. Yvonne McCarty is coordi- nating various clubs in youth-oriented service with workshops on campus for invited members of the Boys and Girls Clubs as well as selected San Marcos elementary, junior and senior high school students. Ann Garman, along with members of Circle K, will host high school Key Club students on campus. These youth-oriented activities serve to improve self-esteem, encourage continuing education, promote a desire to learn, and familiarize students with our campus. Rolando Nooris and computer club members will provide hands-on computer learning experiences. Bertha Walker and members of the Pan-African Student Alliance are participating and also providing logistical support for Volunteer Day. Tanis Brown of CSUSM Alumni Club continues to contribute her leadership for this event, especially the rally. Katherine Johnson-LaVesque has designed the logo (seen above, from a photograph by Alexa Welch). Environmentally oriented services will be the focus at nearby Discovery Lake Park. When the roads are completed, it will be a pleasant hike from our campus. Cleaning up the park and creating a nature display board are the focus of services of the Earth Club. Many hands make light work (bring gloves) therefore Michelle Sedova, President of Earth Club, and Richard Molloy, President of Associated Students, welcome volunteers. "Jennifer Elbert and the 3-D club members will be there too, culminating a week of activities shared with a local girl scout troop. Other volunteer services vary. Scott Sherrillo and the Accounting Society, in conjunction with the IRS, will be available on Volunteer Day and throughout the tax season to assist local income and elderly in* tax preparation. Any students and Spanish speakers may also request assistance through this Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The Argonaut Society has a special service project for the San Marcos Historical Society and Mueum. T&s Association for Busi- ness Students and other clubs are also planning activities for volunteer day. In the spirit of partnership, Mayor Thibadeau and the City Council of San Marcos have issued a Proclamation recognizing February 26, 1994 as Volunteer Day. Volunteer Day can fulfill several university goals: outreach and cooperation with our broader community; promotion of civic pride and responsibility; as well as initiation of contacts for service-learning opportunities. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service with the theory and concepts taught in their courses. During Club Days in the Plaza on January 31, February 2, and 3, interested students, faculty and staff may sign up to join in Volunteer Day activities. Sign ups continue at the Associated Students Office Ext. 4990, the Student Activities Office, Ext. 4970, or the ServiceLearning Office, Ext. 4057.

Consider, for a moment, the constant cloud that has surrounded the administration beginning with the policy regarding homosexuals in the military and encompassing the firings of the entire White House travel staff, flip-flopping on Bosnia, the failure of the ambitious stimulus package, the thwarted nominations of Zoe Baird, Kimba Wood, Stephen Breyer and Lani Guinier, the hour-long haircut that held up air traffic at LAX, allegations made by members of the Arkansas National Guard about gubernatorial infidelities, the suicide of White House lawyer and long-time Clinton pal Vince Foster, the forced resignation of Defense Secretary Les Aspin, the Waco fiasco, allegations of financial impropriety involving Whitewater Investments, and, most recently (at press time, anyway), the decision by former Defense Secretary nominee Bob Inman to withdraw his name from consideration despite the guarantee of overwhelming..confirmation in the Senate. How has this cursed administration managed to achieve anything substantial in the midst of such chaos? Well, if you believe the headlines, they haven't. This year has seen the passage of Clinton-sponsored legislation such as the most comprehensive and radical fiscal package since the early Reagan years, the Family Leave Act, the Motor Voter Bill, as well as the introduction of a massive, ambitious overhaul of the health care system, congressional approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement and a successful resolution to GATT negotiations with Eu- style political gossip. This is not to say that there is some kind of national media conspiracy to discredit the leader of the free world or even that Clinton is somehow the first president to be slighted in such a manner. The current media culture has evolved gradually through time, and certainly significant events in the Reagan and Bush administrations were often ignored in ways this was a good thing; more citizens (especially young ones) were exposed to American politics than in the past, and more of them became involved in the process. But by breaking new ground, Clinton managed to alienate the more respectable media establishment. The New York Times and CNN are now forced to compete with MTV News and Hard Copy, and in the process the distinction between these different forums has blurred considerably. Most of the press no longer has faith that the American people will be interested in tales of legislative battles or trade negotiations. So instead we get lurid tales of Governor Clinton rushing out for a quickie in his limousine while the National Guard looks out for Hillary. There are many substantial areas in which the current administration deserves intellifavor of more sexy stories about Nancy's gent criticism, including the lack of a cohewardrobe or George's distaste for broccoli. sive foreign policy and the President's willBut the climate has intensified significantly ingness to sacrifice important issues for the in the past few years, and the blame (or credit, sake of political expediency.

Yet the only stories garnering significant news space have been the scandals. Even Clinton's recent trip to Eastern Europe and Russia in which he met with Boris Yeltsin and announced a new plan to gradually include Eastern European nations in NATO was overshadowed by the buzz of allegations and innuendoes about Whitewater.

Park o n ^ i f i l i i l l There were no injuries or fatalities on the campus, but the building damage is extensive. The library and science buildings suffered significant damage. The South Library which houses the campus computing center has been condemned and Science Buildings 1 and 2 experienced chemical fires. The 2,447parking structure is destroyed. Most of the University Park Apartments are stable but will require repairs before students can move back in. Because so many buildings are not safe, the campus will rent nearly 300portable trailers to use for classroom and faculty o ffice sp&ce. Gov. Wilson also said that they will rent nearby offices and use other colleges and schools for classes. The Latino Association of Faculty and Staff and the Associated Students of CSU San Marcos have joined hands in providing disaster relief to our neighbors, friends and relatives in the Los Angeles area. According to CSUSM's Chief of Police, Arnold P. Trujillo, a grand total of $ 1,227 was collected. The money will be donated to the American Red Cross with the request that "this money be used to assist the earthquake victims in the Los Angeles area," says Trujillo. Chief Trujillo and Public Safety Officers Bob Wheeler and Dave Ross were at the scene the Monday morning of the earthquake offering assistance to local law enforcement at the Northridge campus site. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people in the Los Angeles area.

There have been three surveys prior to SNAPS-94; the last was conducted in 1989. All CSU campuses participated in SNAPS-89 with the exception of San Diego State. All 20 campuses will be participating in SNAPS-94. In administering the survey, each campus will follow a uniform procedure which consists of surveying a sample of students in randomly selected courses during the middle of the Spring. At CSUSM we will start the survey process in late February or early March. We will survey about 750 students in order to submit at least 500 completed surveys. Surveys are submitted to the Chancellor's Office and the responses are used to develop a systemwide report which helps the CSU present an accurate picture of its student body in a public and systematic way. In 1989 800 copies of the SNAPS report were distrib- San Marcos/tpaComar Writing Center Opens uted nationally to public and private entities. Some of the information in the Executive Summary of the 1989 SNAPS report indicates that over two-thirds of CSU students were also employed and a majority of respondents were classified as "commuter students." Among the problems impeding students' efforts to achieve their educational goals, personal factors were cited more frequently than institutional factors; financial problems were ranked most often by 44 percent of the respondents. Among 18 potential campus reforms, the option to "offer summer courses at regular fees" was chosen by 40 percent of the sample; the second most popular reform was to "improve the parking situation." Each campus will receive a dataset of the responses submitted by its students so that analysis can take place campus by campus. Responses are, of course, confidential and data will be reported only in aggregate form. The CSUSM data should help all of us better understand the needs and opinions of our students.

A press conference was held on Dec. 7 at SDSU by Gina Nunez, V.P. of External A ffairs at SDSU and myself, Michelle Sadova. The focus was to encourage Wilson to place higher education within a category of immediate attention rather than focusing on the construction of prisons as a way to remedy crime. He responded, "As Governor, I 've opened five new prisons. Tonight, I propose that we offer $2 billion worth of bonds to build six more. There will be those who protest such costs. They'll complain that they would prefer to spend the money on higher education rather than more prisons. Well, so would I. But this is not a matter of choice." Sounds pretty good, right?

Bear as Acting Vice President for Institutional Advancement. The adoption of CSU Trustee policy asks each CSU campus to raise—over time— in excess of 10 percent above and beyond its state funds appropriation. Mr. Bear, who recently retired as a Senior Vice President from Hughes Aircraft and as Chair of San Diego's United Way, will join us for the remainder of the fiscal year in the manner of United Way's "loaned executive." That is, he will donate his time to the university at no salary or benefits. Bear was asked to accept the title of a position recommended by the Chancellor and adopted by the Trustees in their action last week. He will be asked to assist the university in its push during the remainder of the year to meet its 1994 fundraising goals and to assist in developing a strategic plan that addresses the campus responsibility to raise nearly $2.5 million for 1994-95 and Bear will coordinate the University's efforts in fundraising, public affairs, and alumni relations. Assisting Bear will be Jane Lynch in Development, Norma Yuskos in Public Affairs and, to a small extent, Tanis Brown in developing Alumni Affairs.

Computer Competency Requirement—source of student concern K arin Foster Staff Writer CSUSM has a requirement that like the writing requirement, is unique from other state universities—the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). CSUSM requires that every student fulfill this requirement before the end of their second semester at CSUSM. Originally, this requirement coordinated with CSUSM's writing requirement. Faculty wanted to be assured that students knew how to use a word processor and could apply this skill in producing the 2,500 word writing assignment required in every class. The second semester deadline meant that students would be computer literate early in their studies at CSUSM. Mary Atkins, Labs and Computer Competency Coordinator, explained that students can fulfill the CCR in a variety of ways. Students can take an approved course at a community college, take a computer exam, or take a computer course at CSUSM that fulfills the requirement. Before taking a computer course at a community college, students should check with Admissions and Records for a list of all applicable classes. Those students wishing to fulfill the CCR through an exam can also take a workshop to help them prepare for the exam. Many students opt to take a computer class here at CSUSM. This semester the Computer Science Department offered 14 classes that met the CCR requirement. Of these, nine sections of CS 304 were offered. This class examines computer issues and provides basic computer skills. However, not all students have been completely satisfied with these computer classes. Students who have taken CS 304 do not feel the class has made them computer literate. The semester divides basic computer knowledge with word processing, spreadsheets, database and computer programming. The amount of material covered in one semester does not al- low the student to gain ample skills in any specific area. Atkins explained that CS 304 does not aim to make students computer literate. "Hopefully, students will take what they learn and run with it." CS 304 acts as an introductory course which offers students basic computer instruction. Students who had little computer experience will still need to develop their computer skill after completing this course. Other students have voiced concerns about classes having more students than available computers. Similar to learning to drive, learning to use a computer requires hands-on experience. Students enrolled in computer classes feel their computer time in class is restricted. Atkins explained that this situation is typical at universities stating that "the concept of one computer for every person is unusual." Students taking computer classes should expect to spend time in the computer lab or with their home computer in order to strengthen their skills. Those students who have not fulfilled the CCR should be aware that this requirement must be completed by the end of their second semester. For those students who make a strenuous effort to completely avoid computers, Atkins advises, "Don't procrastinate. People should not feel intimidated by the Computer CompetencyRequirement. This school makes a conscious effort to help people pass; however, this does not mean waiving the requirement." The original goal of computer literacy for all students by their second semester at CSUSM may have been a little optimistic. However, most students will have at least developed alittle computer knowledge. They should know how to turn one on.

LOVE CAREFULLY DURING VALENTINE'S WEEK S usan M endes, LYN Health Education Assistant The week of February 14 -18 is designated by the American College Health Association as National Condom Week. This seems especially appropriate for a holiday celebrating love and romance. In conjunctipn with this theme, the Student Health Services Health Education Department and Student Health Advisory Board are hosting a number of events on campus. On Monday, Feb. 14, S.H.A.B. Members will be giving out safer sex information and free condoms at a table in Founders' Plaza. Also there will be film viewing in Commons206from 11 A M-1 PM. Students may drop in during these hours to view short film segments or they may stay for the entire presentation. On Tuesday, Feb. 15, five North County AIDS Organizations will have information tables in Founders' Plaza from 10 AM - 2 PM and will be available to answer questions about their free services. In the event of rain, they will be in Commons 206 from 1 PM — 3 PM. In addition, Martha Baron will be displaying J ohnny's Quilt and showing a touching video interview about a family that died of AIDS. On Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 11 AM t pl PM in Founders' Plaza, Earl Storm will present information on the " Don't Duck Responsibility" campaign from the non-profit Stepping Stone Project. The program has HIV information and graphics, including a cartoon depicting Buckminster Duck, who is the program mascot. The object of the pro- gram is to educate the community on the direct risk between alcohol use and HIV transmission and progression. The group presents a caring and rational approach to responsible behavior. Also on Wednesday, there will be an HIV Awareness lecture in Commons 206 from 2 PM—3PM. Based on the Red Cross format, the lecture will be followed by a question and answer session. EVENTS SCHEDULE J oel G rinolds, M D, M PH Unless you have been stuck on a tropical island over the past few months, you probably have heard or read many reports on Health Care Reform. Numerous approaches to reform are being discussed, offering everything from incremental reform and single payer systems (like the Canadian model) to the complex and far-reaching Clinton plan. Clinton's plan and others are now being discussed in Congress and some movement is expected in this term. Conceptually, there seems to be agreement on several aspects that should be important to students including universal coverage, standard benefits, quality standards, insurance reform, antitrust and liability reform, eligibility for all applicants,federal subsidies for poor/low income participants, administrative simplification, improved purchasing power of consumers, maintaining a variety of providers (Health Maintenance Organizations, fee for service, hybrids) encouragement of primary, preventive, and managed care. The various plans d iffer on the following elements: mandatory employer-paid premiums, mandatory participation in regional alliances (without getting into detail, the alliances would pool consumers into a large purchasing group then bargain with local health plans for low-cost quality care), cost controls, plan costs. Although health care reform will have a major impact on students, the reformers initially did not include the 13-14 million post secondary education population or their existing health care system (i.e., Student Health Centers) in their deliberations or specifically in their plans. What does reform mean for college health? In short, nobody really knows. This probably could be said for the general population. The good news is that potentially all students will have access to medical care. Also, the emphasis in reform is the provision of comprehensive primary and preventive medical care which is the major objective of college health. The American College Health Association and others have identified key players in health care reform on Capital Hill and has developed an informativepacket and a letter that identifies key concerns. The packet also describes the unique health care needs of the college health population and the Student Health Service model that currently provides accessible, affordable, prevention-oriented primary care as well as health education to the broader campus community. Stay tuned. Generally it is thought that a plan will not be implemented quickly. However, it surely will have an impact. In future columns I will discuss the plan or plans and their impact as they unfold. For further information, Dr. Grinolds can be reached at Student Health Services, 752-4915. M onday.

L angham Service-Learning Coordinator Katherine Johnson-LeVesque loves to inform others about volunteer opportunities. She enjoys being part of a solution, developing skills, and learning about new things. She has designed the logo for CSUSM's Volunteer Day, Saturday, February 26, 1994. Katherine, a senior, majors in psychology with a minor in women's studies. Volunteering is central in her life. She explains that, "Volunteering has a ripple effect. What I have found is that the people I help, eventually help someone else." "Giving has always felt good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another" Learning how things work motivates Katherine. For example, she volunteered to work at the UC San Diego HIV Neuro-Behavioral Research Center. As a volunteer providing clerical support and data input in the psychiatry department, she observed the process of research design, data collection and publication, as well as how psychological testing was conducted. Becoming a part of the solution instead of just talking about a problem encapsulates Katherine's philosophy. For the past five years, she has been lecturing in the community and at local community colleges informing people about the effects of domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual abuse on individuals and society. Her goal is to bring about social change through raising public con- sciousness and encouraging people to get into treatment so that the devastating effects of trauma in the family can be alleviated. Katherine currently volunteers with several groups. In addition to her educational presentations described above, she also provides support, guidance, and referrals for survivors of abuse. At Being Alive, an HTV/ AIDS women and children's resource center, she volunteers as a receptionist and assists clients and their families tq deal with their emotional adjustment, Wfiether "infected" or " affected" by this disease. This year, Katherine is the Program Coordinator for the PTA at Hickman Elementary School. Ethnic Diversity, Women's History, AIDS Education, and Dad's Involvement in Children's Education are among the programs she has created. These topics were inspired by courses she has taken at CSUSM. Most recently, Katherine developed a 4 hour program for her daughter's 6th grade GATE (gifted) program on the physiology of the brain. Using a sheep's brain, she taught students its anatomy and functions. She explained that since no one's brain works perfectly , we are all slightly different, unique, and that each of us has something special to offer. With the strong belief that you can make lemonade out of lemons, Katherine has volunteered in the past with assistance to the homeless and to immigrants, in designing and sewing clothes for the disabled, in teaching puppeteering, crafts, and cooking through her church youth and women's groups, visiting the elderly, and tutoring in the elementary school classrooms. "Anyone can overcome loneliness and add interest to their lives," Katherine stresses. Photo/Mary Szterpakiewicz "Giving has always felt good to me and I like connecting to the spirit of another. I have a lot to be thankful for, and like to use my talent and capabilities to assist others." In this spirit, Katherine is an active participant of the Outreach Sub-Committee of the Service-Learning Committee planning for Volunteer Day on campus on Saturday, February 26,1994. For the future, Katherine plans to continue her volunteer activities and to develop a scholarship especially f or disadvantaged youth who come from a background of abandonment, neglect, or abuse. Her motivation is to help these youth create new and better lives for themselves. While Katherine was volunteering at an outpatient center for severely depressed and schizophrenic patients, one of the men remarked after listening to Katherine tell about her activities, that she must be extremely organized to "do it all!" That marked the first time that Katherine reflected on the effectiveness of her time management and prioritizing in everything she does. And, yes, she still spends quality time with her family and enjoys her life. Enjoying volunteering makes life more meaningful and more fun! OLUNTEER DAY Saturday, February 26 �Circle K lends time at Vista Soup Kitchen C laire K . L angham Service-Learning Coordinator Volunteer Day is not until the end of this month, but members of Circle K have been volunteering their services to help others weekly. Ann Garman, President of Circle K, not only directs club activities, but personally becomes involved in community service. Among the 30 m embers, C atherine Yeats spearheaded getting C SUSM's c lub to volunteer at the Soup Kitchen on Thursday evenings in Vista's Grace Presbyterian Church. At Circle K 's weekly meetings on campus, students sign up to help serve meals at this local soup kitchen. Wendy Dresher has been helping 2 or 3 times a month for several months. She observed, ' The first time people go there, they anticipate that everyone is homeless - but that is not the case. For some, their social security or other limited income runs out before the end of the month and they haven't enough for food." Scott Morey went to assist at the soup kitchen for the first time last week and will be going to help again. "It is very rewarding to go there and help people who are needy because they are so appreciative," Wendy added. Kevin Kilpatrick emphasized the same comment. Kevin said that he can really relate to the homeless. "They are just like the rest of us - they have hopes and dreams, and have experienced disappointments too." Wendy went on to explain, "By the end of the month, there are about 70 people of all ages, from newborns to elderly, at the soup kitchen. Most people though, are between thirty and forty years old.'4 Kevin talks with the homeless. "The homeless are people too. We have intelligent conversations with them." The people who come to the soup kitchen ask the Circle K student volunteers about their university experience-— what they are studying and their career goals. Kevin described avoidance as people's typical behavior toward the homeless. In contrast, he asks them if they are staying warm at night, especially with the cold winter nights. "When it rains, its very wet unless they can find an overhang." Kevin acknowledges that there are a f ew homeless we should b e wary of, but this is also the case with people in general. The interesting thing that Kevin notes is that there is a real camaraderie among the homeless —they look out for one another. He added, "These people are really appreciative of the assistance provided. They piteh in and help with the cleanup afterwards. It shows that they are not j ust taking advantage of society's generosity." If you are interested in knowing more about Circle K, please contact the Student Activities Office. Sigma Phi Delta Raises Money for L.A. Quake Victims A myGlaspey Staff Writer Richard Harvey, Sigma Phi Delta's Public Relations Officer The ground was still shaking w ith a ftershocks w hen R ichard Harvey, Sigma Phi D elta's Public Relations Officer started organizing a fund-raiser tohelp Los Angeles Earthquake victims. Sigma Phi Delta, a social and charitable fraternity at CSUSM designed a fund-raiser that allows us to enjoy the beautiful southern California coastline while helping our neighbors to the north. Buy o ne t hree-hour w halewatching ticket f or $ 15 and $5 will be donated to the Los Angeles Quake Relief Fund while $10 will go to Apollo Charters. Captain JeffJohnson has agreed to run the fund-raiser through March 15,1994. The Apollo is an all-aluminurn 65 foot 22 inch sports fisher with a full galley and sleeping quarters for 30, "just in case you get sea sick" said Harvey. The boat is certified to accommodate 94 whale watchers. Harvey chose the Apollo for several reasons. "It holds 94. It is one of the nicest boats and Captain Jeff Johnson was most generous in working with me." Harvey said. Radio stations KCEO (95.9 FM) and KCET (1000 AM) interviewed Sigma Phi Delta last Sunday. The fraternity spoke about CSUSM and promoted their whalewatching fund-raiser at the same time. The radio interview is on reserve in the school archives section of the CSUSM library. Sigma Phi Delta is now coordinating group trips aboard the Apollo. Harvey was approached by Japanese students at UCSD who are interested in an English as A Second Language whale-watching trip. Harvey is currently working o naCSUSMFaculty whale-watching excursion. Tickets must be bought in advance and are available for purchase from any Sigma Phi Delta member.

California State University San Marcos has a special role in the North San Diego County area, and in the spirit of community partnership, the university initiates and offers programs to further intellectual, professional, and personal development within the diverse community which it serves. Volunteer Day activities on Saturday Feb. 26, 1994, in the spirit of community partnership, center around youth, the environment, the elderly, a museum exhibit, and assistance with tax preparation for lowincome individuals. The kick-off rally is in Commons 206 from 8 to 9 AM. Mayor Lee B. Thibadeau, who has proclaimed Feb. 26,1994 as Volunteer Day in the City of San Marcos, will participate. Volunteer activities start at 9 and continue to noon both on campus and in the community. Many CSUSM clubs and organizations are volunteering their time to assist the next generation to envision a university education in their future. They are joining together to provide campus tours and funfilled workshops to youngsters invited from San Marcos schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, and Key Clubs from the surrounding community. The following clubs are participating: the Liberal Studies Student Association, the Computer Club, the Student California Teachers Association, Circle K, the Silver Shield, El Club de las Americas, M.E.Ch.A., the Association of Business Students, and the Pan African Student Alliance. Environmental volunteer service is at nearby Discovery Lake Park. Earth Club, the Associated Students, and the 3-D orga- nization along with a Girl Scout troop, will focus their services on sprucing up the park and creating a nature display. The Accounting Society will help low income individuals with their tax preparation, and the Argonaut Society will prepare a new exhibit for the San Marcos Historical Society and Museum. Key College Opportunities plans to continue their services to seniors in San Marcos. The Knights also plan to continue with their c lub's involvement in Special Olympics. English language students from Japan will join in a variety of the on-going activities. The Japanese Culture Exchange Club is planning a potluck for the volunteers after all events have been completed that day. Students from Soc 309 Aging and Society, as part of Service-Learning in the course, will assist at the Elder/Adult Care Annual Public Forum sponsored by the San Marcos Family Care Commission at the San Marcos Joslyn Senior Center. Participation is welcome and students, staff, and faculty can sign up in the Associated Students Office to join in activities organized by CSUSM clubs and associations. Many hands not only make the work lighter, but more enjoyable. Volunteer Day will provide an opportunity for students and our local community to participate in cooperative services. These activities fulfill several university goals including outreach and cooperation with our broader community, promotion of civic pride and responsibility, and initiation of contacts f or service-learning. A number of our faculty are encouraging service-learning in their classes to link real-life experience through service to the theories and concepts taught in the course. Service-Learning host Dwight Giles California Center for the Arts Galleries B ecome Museum The Service-Learning Committee enthusiastically anticipates upcoming guest lecturer, Dwight Giles, of Vanderbilt University. Giles will be speaking at CSUSM on Monday, Feb. 21 and Tuesday, Feb. 22. Giles, an expert in the field of servicelearning, has been granted a three-year FIPSE grant dealing with learning outcomes in the field of service-learning. His talk entitled, "What Is This Thing Called Service-Learning: Working Through Definitional Confusion," will be addressed to the CSUSM campus on Feb. 21 from Noon-1:30 PM. Everyone is invited to attend. This month the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, designated 9,000 square feet of gallery space at the $75 million arts center as the California Center for the Arts Musuem. The Museum will be a permanent nonprofit institution, essentially educational and humanistic in purpose, which will own, study, care for, and regularly exhibit and interpret works of art to the public. The new museum will curate exhibitions of regional, national and international artists and host traveling exhibitions, as well as establish a Permanent Collection of art from the 20th century, with an emphasis on American and regional art. �The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws. — Tacitus CSUSM Writing Requirement -mindless labor or intellectual growth Roy Latas Legislature Sidesteps the Real Issues Staff Writer Students* interests in issues such as free speech, child care and Student Union fees gain and lose momentum, yet the All University Writing Requirement (AUWR) constantly sparks opinions from students and faculty. The initial grousing of first semester students translates to praise and thanks from graduating seniors. Up to this point in our academic careers, there has been a general lack of emphasis on English composition skills in American education which has caused American industrial and economic institutions to question the academic standards that allow colleges and universities students to graduate without adequate writing skills. CSUSM is trying to remedy this situation with the AUWR. The definition of the AUWR, as stated in the 1992-1993 University Catalog, is: "Students are advised to note that every course at California State University, San Marcos has a writing requirement component of2,500 words. This requirement can be filled in a variety of ways, depending on the course." This impersonal sounding writing r equirement r epresents the F ounding Faculty's intention of creating a graduating population instilled with exemplary writing skills. They hoped the AUWR would furnish a mechanism that insured all graduates received sufficient opportunity to use and improve their writing skills. The AUWR makes it necessary for all students to write within a variety of disciplines in varying contexts from literature to biology. The Founding Faculty also understood the demand for clear, concise, and logically written communication in the postgraduate areas of employment and graduate school, as well as in family and social contexts. The implementation of the AUWR takes a variety of forms depending on the discipline and faculty member. A common form is the 2,500 word paper. Here, the student makes an in-depth study of a particular topic and presents a detailed report that condenses many information sources into a 3 Strikes You're Out clear and compact analysis. Other faculty members may assign several smaller papers during the semester, thereby reducing student stress levels, as well as the instructor's laborious task of grading multitudes of long papers at one time. The format of a paper or assignment presents an infinite array of possibilities. Some professors employ written work in the form of diaries, screenplays, journals, letters, or novella, promoting a new critical frame for the student to exercise his or her analytical perspective. These formats challenge the students' minds to realize alternative connections within the subject matter while increasing the students' creative freedom, and making the task less intimidating. The journal is the most popular alternative form of writing. Journal entries are devoted to the preceding week's discussions; the journal condenses the student's comprehension of new material while allowing the professor an insight into the absorption of lecture information. The journal entries allow the professor to understand when issues are cloudy and make adjustments or reviews when necessary. The faculty relies on the AUWR to furnish students with an additional opportunity to decipher what they learn through writing, and reassemble classroom information in a way that demonstrates understanding of the concepts. Writing theorist Peter Elbow calls this process "cooking.' "Cooking means getting material to interact." The interaction of thoughts creates new material that the student can interpret which may include segments of classroom experience and personal insight. This process is assimilation not memorization. The student undergoes a metamorphosis through conceptual analysis. Elbow also reminds his readers that "[g]rowing means getting words to evolve through stages," not overnight. The intent of the AUWR is growth within the student, and we all have felt some growing pains. However, our new stature has the foundation of improved writing skills. THE PRIDE, CSUSM Student Newspaper, San Marcos, California 92096-0001, (619) 752-4998 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: Mary Szterpakiewicz BUSINESS MGR/ADVERTISING: Sheryl Greenblatt COPYEDITORS: Donald Beran, Roy Latas, Anita Williams LAYOUT EDITOR: Krista Thornton PHOTOGRAPHY: Carlos Mariscal, Mary Szterpakiewicz STAFF WRITERS: Karin Foster, Amy Glaspey, Peter Gorwin,Thomas Lee Huntington, Roy Latas CONTRIBUTORS: Claire K. Langham, Susan Mendes, Joel Grinolds, MD, John Segoria By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer In theory, it is difficult to argue against any of the five "3 Strikes and You're Out" crime bills currently in front of the California state senate. All the bills guarantee stiffer sentences for any criminal convicted of a second violent felony and life imprisonment if convicted of a third. Certainly, violent crime has reached epidemic proportions in American society and it is obvious that something must be done. The "3 Strikes" concept has provided politicians with an unprecedented opportunity to look tough on crime without alienating any powerful voting lobby. Even President Clinton, in a State i of the Union address otherwise dedicated to health care and welfare reform, received his biggest bipartisan applause by reiterating his support of such a bill on the federal level. It is wise, though, (as it is with anything to which all politicians pay carefully calculated lip service) to maintain a healthy skepticism about the rash of current crime legislation. In California, the "3 Strikes" frenzy was fueled in large part by the murder of Polly Klaas, the young child kidnapped from her living room and brutally killed by aconvicted felon. Klaas' story mesmerized the nation, in large part because it symbolized the encroachment of violent crime into suburbia. "Are our children no longer safe in their own homes?" parents everywhere wondered. Many of those parents had political pull, and the conviction that something must be done to keep violent criminals behind bars and out of our neighborhoods eventually reached the state legislature. The Klaas case was a horrible tragedy. But horrible tragedies are the norm in many of our inner cities, a fact which seems to have escaped our governmental leaders for quite some time. A child in Watts has not been safe in her own living room for a long time now. She has not been safe on her way to school, in her classroom, on the playground or on her way home. She has been forced to live with the fact that violence is a way of life in her community. Streets burned, buildings were looted, a city was ignited and the California legislature did nothing to address crime in the inner city. There has been no legislation aimed at creating economic opportunities for the young people in Los Angeles most likely to turn to crime. There has been no increase in police protection in urban areas plagued by constant gang warfare. There has been no attempt to stop crime before it starts by engaging in the kind of honest discourse about values and community that elected officials are so afraid of. The same politicians who turned their back as our cities turned into war zones now purport to end crime as we know it by guaranteeing a few stiffer sentences. I t's not a bad first step, but i t's hardly enough and i t's long overdue. Student Activist Collects Signatures Garrett Collins, English major, is an example of student activism at CSUSM.

Input from faculty, $tudeiits;staff and the business community is Invited to explore the future of higher education, A recent is^ueof the Economist referred to today- s/universities as "towers of babble" raising serious issues facing higher education. What are the goals of universities today? Are they meeting the needs of the marketplace? What should be the purpose of a tax-supported institution? The public university, like other government institutions, is slow to change. Revered as instruments of enlightenment in the past, today government treats higher education like an inefficient Nationalized industry. Once considered the engine of economic growth, today's university is becoming a dinosaur, concerned more with image than impafct te^^^ away from tiiii#rsities for advice and rese^rcto; turning to think-tanks such as the ffiritafe^'F^ndation^-CATO Institute and l&ftnci^^ The' taostfre-, quejiteom^ are t hat'toiyersilies -We f illed with 1960s dogooders and that "academics rarely give 'y^u^ fWiinoney ;.»[and] star professors are perpetually on sabbatical." With fees skyrocketing, and college enrollment declining, what docs the future hold ifor tdmoitow's college graduate? The computer is probably partially responsible. An enormous array of information is available at the fingertips of every nimble typist with a modem for a fraction of the cost of a college education. By way of Compuserve, Prodigy and Internet we can access thousands of online databases and hold discussions with experts from around the globe. Video tape is another medium which offers practical, educational applications for a fraction of the cost of a college education. Palomar College introduced the TV course, where you can study accounting, anthropology or Spanish in the comfort of your home. Rising costs and declining revenues are forcing universities to re-evaluate priorities. University costs, according to The Economist, rise much faster than inflation because they are labor intensive (wages rise faster than prices). Even Ivy League colleges are teetering on alienating the middle class, leaving these legendary institutions to the idle rich. Politicians are questioning whether the money could better be spent on other things. Private industry has been much better at harnessing the information revolution than its public-sector counterparts. The market must adapt quickly to the needs of J N marketplace, or die. Tlie combination of academic tenure and cumbersome decision-making tends to preserve old institutions rather than expand or create new ones. • % Governments bent on reform are looking at three popular strategies. The first uses the market approach with government playing the role of the purchaser, By linking funding to performance and separating research funds from money for teaching, government has provided two distinct ways of boosting a university's i ncomeincreasing the number of pupils or improving the quality of their research. British universities are pursuing these different avenues for survival producing remarkable results within a short period of time. Oxford, Cambridge and the like, emphasizeresearch. The next top 10 schools have a mix of both research and a teaching focus, while a third group focuses primarily on teaching. While academics regard thisas an affront to their dignity, this scheme - A second approach in cutting costs is to simply shift funds to cheaper institutions like community colleges and innovative sources of higher education, like workstudy programs, distance learning, and getting credit for life and work experience. A third strategy is for universities to diversify their funding. Rather than relying solely on government funds, universities should market their research to local industry. In the U.S., industry-sponsored research has more than quadrupled in the past decade. This would serve to create a better rapport with the business community, and attract funding as well as provide a purpose for graduates. Raising fees is another way to diversify funding. While critics complain that this would curtail expansion, in Britain, "free" education has done little to bring the hordes to the sanctuary. The fact remains that local, state and federal governments are putting a limit on educational funding. Universities must accept the fact that governments are becoming increasingly reluctant to fund higher education. California's school system once satisfied private industry s demand for technical research, physicists, chemists and engineers that fueled the dramatic growth of the California economy. These positions are now predominantly staffed by foreigntrained graduates. Can higher education meet the needs of an ever-changing marketplace? �I'll Take Anything" holds up despite drastic revisions 66T? Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer It is no secret that James L. Brooks' new film I'll Do Anything began life as a fullfledged Holly wood musical. It was an ambitious idea, but test audiences were so turned off by the musical numbers that Brooks felt compelled to rework the entire film. The director edited and reshot to such a degree that the only semblance remaining of the film's previous incarnation is a solitary song T M ouie R euiew by five year old Whittni Wright. The film holds up surprisingly well after such drastic revision, mainly on the strength of the acting and Broolcs' ear for witty and insightful dialogue. Nick Nolte heads the cast, portraying a down-on-his-luck actor forced to take in the six year old daughter he hasn't seen for two years. Albert Brooks is an action film producer obsessed with the bottom line and Julie Kavner is a public opinion pollster who runs tests screenings and can utter nothing but the truth. Wright is truly a discovery as the bratty, precocious child with whom Nolte must re-establish a bond. The plot is unimportant in a film such as this, where most of the pleasure comes in watching the actors inhabit their roles. Nolte is outstanding as a likable guy struggling to come to terms with the realities of parenthood and Hollywood at the same time; the best scenes in the film are between Nolte and Wright. Their exchanges seem genuine and honest because the characters have been so well crafted and written with such care. The laughter and tears this father—daughter relationship invokes are not easy and sentimental; the actors earn the sentiment. Less successful is the subplot involving a romance between Brooks and Kavner. Both actors are superb, especially Brooks. His producer character could easily have been a stock stereotype, an easy villain for a film about the film industry. But, perhaps because the director is also himself a producer, the role is given complexity and even a degree of likableness. It is not difficult to see why the kind, giving character played by Kavner would be attracted to such a person. But the romance is inadequately explored. Perhaps this is the area where the music played an integral role and the reshooting and editing couldn't completely cover that gap. Nonetheless, I'll Do Anything is an extremely likable, well-written film about a group of interesting, complex people. It is difficult to imagine the movie as a musical, which is probably a tribute to Brooks editing ability and an indication that he ultimately made the correct decision.

Dr. Thompson took a critical look at public policy regarding crime, and the impact this legislation will have on the African-American community. As the economy begins to recover, politicians have started shifting their focus from economic concerns to the issues of crime and violence. President Clinton reflected this trend in his address to the nation. Dr. Thompson commented that the President's " Three Strikes You're Out' was the centerpiece of the President's State of the Union address." The proposed "Three Strikes You're Out" legislation would sentence offenders convicted of a third violent felony to mandatory life imprisonment. Thompson criticized this type of legislation as representing "an imbalance between punishment and prevention." He argued that this policy would have minimal effects on crime, while depleting funds that could be used to address critical social needs. Furthermore, this legislation would most negatively effect the AfricanAmerican community. Thompson argues that legislators who support these bills use "faulty assumptions." Supporters declare that high imprisonment rates will lessen crime. In fact, Thompson stated studies prove the opposite is true. States that have the highest rate of incarceration have the most violent crime, while states that have the lowest rates have less violent crime. According to Thompson, supporters of PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS S LICK R OADS the "Three Strike" policy also promote the idea that mandatory sentencing will guarantee imprisonment of criminals. Thompson also argued that President Clinton is fully aware of problems that plague the AfricanAmerican community. Clinton acknowledges that crime has increased because of the breakdown of family and community. The President also recognizes that black youths need more employment opportunities. Yet, according to Thompson, Clinton chooses to promote legislation that will increase the breakdown of these values. He feels the President's policies towards crime ignore the underlying problems. African-American families are severely threatened by the high incarceration rate of young black men. Youths in prison cannot form stable families. Many of those incarcerated have turned to crime because their community lacks jobs that would allow them to support families or themselves. Lack of financial resources prevents these youths from seeking better employment in the suburbs. Limited opportunities for young black men often leads to crime as a solution for survival. Effective legislation would directly address these problems, Thompson believes. Rather than spend millions of dollars incarcerating criminals for their entire lives, money could be spent on programs that would offer disadvantaged youths alternatives to crime. Year-round sports programs, improved schools, and effective job-training centers could be implemented as a means of preventing youths from engaging in crime. Criminals already imprisoned should receive counseling to develop stronger social skills, while receiving employment training and education. Education and training in prison could provide incentive and motivation to find work after release. Dr. Thompson did not deny the seriousness of violent crime, or the fact that society must punish violent offenders. However, the seriousness of this problem should cause legislators to create laws that work towards genuine solutions. American society is demanding the reduction of violent crime. Dr. Thompson argues that although President Clinton's proposals may appear tough, they will do little or nothing to solve America's violent crime problem.

We have identified the follwing goals for the Spring: • Fundraising • Trip logistics (passports, shots, schedules etc.) • Program development on Ghana Exploration of issues of intercultural exchange In addition, Professor Amoaku has asked us to develop an application and selection process which will identify the group going on the Ghana winter trip by the end of May. It will be important that each participant is clear in his or her own goals and interests for participating and that the group has common goals and shares responsibility for the trip. We look forward to seeing you on Feb. 17 at 4:15 PM in ACD 305. Please sign-up at the Peer Advising Center, Craven 6200, if you are interested but are unable to attend the meeting. . For the first time, the 20 CSU campuses and Chancellor's Office have raised more than $ 100 million in voluntary contributions. In 1992/93, $109.4 million was raised, an increase of 10.8 percent from 1991/92's $98.7 million. CSU Long Beach led the campuses with $16.2 million, followed by San Diego State with $15.5 million, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with $10.9 million, and CSU Fresno with $10.8 million. The largest percentage increase was CSU Sacramento, which increased its private gifts 115 percent, from $4.0 million to $8.6 million. CSU San Bernardino showed a 101 percent increase, going from $1.0 million to $2.1 million. Corporate giving increased five percent in 1992/93, from $38.5 million to $40.4 million. San Jose State's alumni contributed the highest amount, $2.4 million, a 162 percent increase. In the past six years, contributions to the CSU have grown from $57.4 million in 1987/ 88 to $109.4 million in 1992/93, an increase of 91 percent. OTHER CSU NEWS: An update on plans for a new CSU campust at Fort Ord. Downsizing in the military has given the CSU an unprecedented opportunity to receive 1,300acres of Fort Ord in Monterey Bay for a new campus that eventually will accommodate 20,000 students by 2020. According to the progress report to the trustees give by J. Handel Evans, president of San Jose State University, and Peter Hoff, CSU senior vice chancellor for academic affairs,finalconveyance of the property by the federal government is expected by May, and the first group of students is expected by fall 1995. The federal government already has provided $15 million of an eventual $135 million that will be provided to the system to convert existing buildings to campus usage. Keeping Romance in Your Relationship P am F arrel Contributing Writer February is the month for lovers. Red and white hearts adorn the malls and everyone is in the mood for romance. However, in our society, romance and sex getinterchanged as if synonyms. Sex can often be a sultry killer to romance and can thwart a person from finding true love. Consider these findings: Mosts couples break up when a crisis pregnancy arises. There are no "STD" bouquets to send when you give your lover a sexually transmitted disease. A ccording to D ick Day and J osh McDowell, authors of "Why Wait," a sexual relationship can cloud your decision making process and your hormones can connect yout to someone that your heart knows isn't right. Studies have concluded that couples who live together prior to marriage are twice as likely to end up in divorce court. In a survey of the first graduating class of Cal State San Marcos students, 51 percent gave an okay to casual sex. but there is nothing casual about sex. Giving yourself' totally to another, bearing your body and soul isn't the same as having your usual morning cup of coffee. Perhaps we have all lsot sight of the difference between love and lust. Na- tionally know, psychologist, Steve Arterburn explains the difference between love and lust as— Love is personal, lust is impersonal. Love is concrete, focused on a particular object; lust is unfocused, capable of fixing on almost any object. Love tends toward faithfulness, lust is a wanderer. Love seeks stability, lust is short-lived and mercurial. Love is an affair of the mind and heart, lust is an affair of the emotions and hormones. Love is a matter of giving, lust is matter of taking. Musicians Steve and Annie Chapman have a line in one of their love songs, "True love starts with a kiss of hearts." To keep romance in your life, give your heart and keep your body until you hear, "With this ring, I thee wed." No matter your sexual history, you can make decisions today to protec t your future lovelife and ensure that romance becomes a lifestyle rather than a fleeting sentiment on a Hallmark card. Pam Farrel is a graduating senior who has coauthored a book with her husbandBill. Their book "Pure Pleasure: Making Your Marriage a Great Affair ** is due out in June. Pam is also a member ofS.A.LT., a Christian group on campus. Presidents, Faculty Receive Salary Increases Presidential salaries were increased for the first time in three years by the Board of Trustees. Five collective bargaining agreements, including one with the California Faculty Association, also were ratified, giving many employees their first general pay increases in several years. Effective April 1, salaries for the 20 presidents were raised an average of 8.6 percent. The annual average salary of a CSU president will be $130,461, up from $120,075. Two presidents serving in interim positions did not receive increases; when those permanent appointments are made, new salaries will be set. Approximately $17 million for salary increases for presidents and other CSU employees was set aside by trustees after the legialators augmented the CSU budget by $50 million for 1993/94. The presidental increase will total about $200,000; the rest of the $ 17 million will go for the system* s 33,000 employees. �Video Class To Make Music Video Last year's class visits Daniels Cablevision (you know who you are) Stuart Bender's video class has started again this semester.

Mayor Lee B. Thibadeau, who proclaimed Feb. 26 Volunteer Day in San Marcos, along with Ernest Zomalt, Executive Vice President of CSUSM, will open the event at 9 AM at CSUSM's Dome. Members of student organizations will donate their time to work on a wide range of community projects. Volunteer activities include; • accounting students helping low income people with tax preparation; • history club students preparing an exhibit for the San Marcos Historical Society and Museum; • three student organizations, along with a Girl Scout troop, sprucing up Discovery Lake Park and creating a nature display ; • 11 associations, plus a multicultural education class, giving campus tours and workshops for invited San Marcos public school students and Boys and Girls Club members, encouraging them to continue their eduction; • a club accompanying at-risk youth on a Mt. Woodson hike; • a club assisting seniors at a social gathering in San Marcos; • sociology students assisting at the Elder/Adult Care Annual Public Forum at the San Marcos Joslyn Senior Center.

The answer is CSUSM's Seventh Annual University Ball. The black-tie dinner-dance and silent auction will be held at the Sheraton Grande Toirey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. Connie L. Anderson of San Marcos is chair of the event. "The University Ball has been a bright light on the social calendar of North County since 1988, and this year's ball promises to be the most exciting event of the new year,' said Anderson. This year's theme is "Building a Dream." . The goal of the event is to raise $30,000 for the University. Proceeds from the ball go towards supporting CSUSM projects that need additional resources such as scholarships for deserving students, seed money for emerging programs, books for the library, and important community events such as the American Indian Pow Wow and the International Festival. " Supporting C SUSM is such a worthy cause. The money raised by the ball provides the University a margin ofexxcellence that cannot otherwise be achieved. Just a few dollars can make a difference in whether a student stays in college or is forced to quit. I am glad to live in a community where people believe in education, and more importantly, believe in helping young people," said Anderson. Anderson recruited a team of community leaders as the executive committee to coordinate the ball. "The committee is already hard at work seeking donations, expanding the program, and designing decorations. To assist us in defraying expenses of the ball, the committee members are calling on individuals and businesses to provide underwriting," said Anderson. This year, a silent auction will be added to the evening's events. The newly formed CSUSM Alumni Association will be coordinating the auction for the Ball. Provided by Hoehn Motors Inc., the premier auction item will be a 1994 Suzuki Sidekick. Individual seats are $150 or $1,500 for a table of 10. Special "Star" tables are available for $2,000 for a table of 10. For information about tickets and donations, call Jane Lynch at 752-4406. Every year about 9,000 children and young adults die from leukemia and other fatal blood diseases. For many the only hope for survival is a bone marrow transplant. Nearly 70% cannot find a suitable match within their own families. These patients need to find unrelated donors. The chance that a patient will find a matching, unrelated donor in the general population is between one in 20,000 to one in a million. Because tissue types are inherited, and different tissue types are found in different ethnic groups, the chances of finding an unrelated donor vary according to the patients' ethnic into tag Join us on Saturday, March 10th • ^ T h e W riting C e n t e r * * Avoid the end of the semester crunch.

The Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee and Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services will be conducting a waste characterization Thursday, March 10, from Noon to 1:30 PM in the upper faculty/staff parking lot. A waste characterization is part of the campus recycling efforts and is a thorough, comprehensive sorting, categorization and weighing of materials from the disposal and recycling streams. Even though CSUSM has an aggres- sive recycling program in place, waste characterizations have to be done periodically to identify additional items which can possibly be diverted from going to the landfill. A light lunch will be served prior to the waste characterization. In order to plan for the lunch, please call Support Services, extension 4520, by March 4 if you wish to attend and/or participate.

While students on the fast track to graduation may view the writing requirement as an unnecessary hurdle, is this the case? When we asked two founding faculty members about the reasoning behind the CSUSM writing requirement, here is what they said: Dr. Larry Cohen, Founding Faculty, Biology: "I wholeheartedly support the writing requirement at CSUSM. To a large degree, we seem to think with words. If a concept is understood, one should be able to describe it to another person. If one cannot explain something, perhaps one does not understand it. The writing requirement at CSUSM fosters improved communication and thinking skills. However, I have never felt that writing across the entire curriculum made sense. For example, large seminars or classes heavily dependent upon symbolic concepts might better be exempted." Dr. Carolyn Mahoney, Director, Math Program: "As a founding faculty member, I believe very strongly that we should have a writing requirement in all subjects. It exposes students to, and gives them familiarity with the expository and technical writing that is necessary to do good math. In particular, writing helps students process their learning and encourages them to think more clearly about what they do and do not understand. All math faculty incorporate writing in either weekly journals and short papers that reflect a student's understanding of mathematical notions or in term papers which explain and/ or extend classroom discussions." Clearly, sound reasoning guided the establishment of the CSUSM writing requirement. The requirement was not designed to wreak havoc on our lives or distance us from our families, but to foster the critical thinking skills and analytic agility fundamental to intellectual growth. Most of us entering professional life after graduation will be required to draft reports and resumes f or years to come. And our ability to communicate effectively will to a large degree determine our eventual success. The next issue will present interviews with CSUSM alumni who have already seen their investment in the writing requirement pay off big in career opportunities and graduate school admissions. These CSUSM alumni attribute their post-graduate success to improved communication skills honed through our university's challenging and innovative writing requirement that has and will continue to place CSUSM graduates a step above the rest. • TEACHER EDUCATION FAIR March 2 ,2-5 PM will be a ttended b y s everal s chools, including: Anaheim City Schools Cajon Valley USD Chula Vista Elementary Escondido USD Fallbrook USD Lemon Grove S D Los Angeles Unified S D Murrieta Valley USD Oceanside USD Ramona USD San Diego USD Vista USD Cal State University, San Marcos will of employers and be flexible because you hold its Career Fair for S pring' 94 on Wednes- may encounter cancellations, crowded conday, March 2 and Thursday, March 3, in the ditions and lines to talk to certain employers.

Student Survives Fire, in Need of Basics Recently one of our students, a single mother with an eight-year old boy, lost her home and all of her belongings in a fire. Fortunately, the student and her son were able to escape the fire without injury. However, this loss has left her in dire need of many items. Donations of cash are welcome as all funds earmarked for tuition, etc. were required to replace many of the daily musts. Therefore, if you are able to help with any of the items listed below or monetarily, please drop your donations at the Office of the Associate Dean of Students, Craven Hall 5115 or call 752-4935. There will be a small get-together to give the items to the student on Tuesday, Mar. 1, 5-6:30 PM in Commons 206. Please join us. The following items are needed: Women's clothing: pants, skirts, etc. size 16; blouses, coats, sweaters size 18; boy's clothing: shoe size 1; pants and shirts size 8-10; toys, books, puzzles; a desk or small table and chair; lamp, bookcase or shelves or stackable crates for books; dresser, iron and television.

Not only is she an active member of the council, but Sadova hopes to make a run for President of the student council next fall. Michelle, an English major, hopes to further her studies in public administration. She anticipates graduating in spring '95. As an active student representative at CSUSM since the fall of '93, Michelle came into the student council with the philosophy of "serving students currently attending CSUSM." Last semester, Michelle served as Cal State Student Association (CSSA) representative. As this campus' CSSA representative, Michelle attended monthly meetings held at other CSU campuses throughout the state to discuss matters of importance to all CSU students such as campus base fees, legislation and health issues. The CSSA also reviewed Board of Trustees' mandates and their effects on all CSU campuses. Michelle was responsible for bringing yoga to campus which led to forming the Recreation Committee this semester. "We're looking to provide a variety of recreational activities at reasonable prices and times convenient for students." The Recreation Committee is hoping to bring other classes and activities such as martial arts, self-defense and aerobics, which is scheduled to Associated Students Need Volunteers for Spring '94 Elections Five volunteers are needed to serve on the Elections Committee for the Associated Students Spring '94 elections. This committee implements and oversees elections for the president and 12 student council representatives; two each from the College of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, and Education; two Post Baccalaureate; and four undergraduate reps-at-large. Students serving on this committee cannot run for office. A chairperson, personnel, policy and procedure, publicity, and facilities coordinators serve on the committee. If you have expertise in any of these areas, or are interested in becoming involved in the election proceedings, please advise A.S. president, Richard Molloy, in Commons 205 or call 752-4990. m£ fAijfefc begin next week. One of Michelle's goals is to provide the opportunity for CSUSM students to teach these classes. Michelle enjoys communicating with students and keeping them informed about current legislation and issues affecting CSU students. In addition to her studies, and participation on the Associated Students Council, Michelle is actively involved in other campus and community activities. As President of the Earth Club, Michelle and other members of the club are preparing for the Second Annual Earth Day event scheduled for April 21 and April 23. In addition to Earth Day activities, the Earth Club works on environmental clean-up projects in the community and local beaches. "We'd like to see hiking and walking trails around campus for students to use and appreciate," says Sadova. Both the AS Recreation Committee and the Earth Club are actively supporting the development of campus hiking trails. If you have any student or campus concerns or would like to learn more about the Associated Students Council, call 752-4990 or stop in at the AS office in Commons 205.

Twenty-seven CSUSM students participated by writing essays on the subject How Books Have Influenced My Life. Each of the three finalists receives $200 to be used for this semester's books. The University Store contribute $100 of the $600 plus an additional 10 percent discount to the winners. Congratulations to this semester's winners: • Melva Dudley, a Social Science major with an emphasis on Sociology, from Oceanside. • Robin Kaiser, an English/Spanish major planning to teach middle school, from Vista. • Mollie Tammone, a Liberal Arts major with an emphasis on Education, from Fallbrook. Applications for the Friends's Fall 1994 Book Scholarship will be available to students on campus after February 15. The deadline for completed essays will be April 25, and finalists will be notified in May. The Friends of the Library, a library volunteer group made up of campus and community volunteers, is also conducting an ongoing mini book sale in the library. It has met with favorable comments from stu- dents and staff alike. Coming in March is the semi-annual book sale during the campus Indian Pow Wow. If you would like to donate any books to the sale, please call Cherie Boiling at 471-7442. The question most often asked is "Where does the money from the sale go?" It helps to provide the student book scholarshs each semester at the univeristy. Plan to attend the Pow Wow and our book sale on March 19 from 9 AM to 6 PM in the faculty/staff parking lot. We look forward to seeing everyone there! In addition to library projects, the book scholarships, and book sales, the Friends of the Library also sponsor lectures on a variety of subjects. The Friends recently sponsored a talk given by Bridget BaileyMeier on medicine in the African-American Community. On March 17,1994, the Friends will sponsor Dr. Patricia Seleski, Professor of History who will be speaking on peace prospects in Northern Ireland. The third lecture the Friends will sponsor this spring is Dr. Vasanthi Shenoy, Professor of Sociology, who will speak on education for the women of India on April 26. If you are interested in finding out more about the Friends of the Library or joining their ranks, call Betty Knoff, president of the Friends, at 744-7084. Huff Awarded Fulbright Scholarship Betty Huff, CSUSM's director of enrollment services was recently awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany. Huff is one of 25 recipients from universities across the country who will participate in the Fulbright International Education Seminar for Administrators. The four-week seminar, held in April and May, introduces university administrators to a variety of academic and governmental institutions. It focuses on current issues in German higher education and international academic exchange. The program is designed for administrators of international services, academic affairs, student affairs, and admissions. It includes visits to universities and cities in Bonn, Berlin, and the new Eastern states of Germany. Huff has been with CSUSM for 4 years. Besides admissions, she also is responsible for internationl student advising and serves on the University Global Affairs Committee. "This scholarship is an excellent opportunity to gain greater awareness of other cultures. As CSUSM continues to pursue its mission of international focus and global awareness, we will need to develop more programs that assist students in the transition to education in other countries. The Fulbright program was designed to help administrators in this effort," said Huff of the scholarship. �Students Get Active in Health Education iWiiilfictioii f W r i t p t «; : ••• ; v| •• i S^Wjjatis the jbighooplah we keephear- diameter.

It is an infection of the liver caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HB V). This virus is hardy and highly infectious. About 300,000 hew cases are diagnosed each year. It is 100 times more infectious than HTV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), the virus that causes AIDS. Like AIDS, it has no cure but the good news is that it can be prevented with a vaccine. Hepatitis B may strike silently and cause unknown damage to one's liver. Symptoms of Hepatitis B can be similar to an intestinal virus and be very mild. Others have more severe symptoms with nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, dark urine and possibly yellowing of the skin and eyes. Also, some people become very ill and can't work or go to school for weeks or months. Because it is a viral infection there is no antibiotic to reverse its course.

IMPROVE YOUR LOOKS, HEALTH AND POPULARITY. QUIT SMOKING. D1992, American Heart Association �Learning Self-Defense Newest WxMrcise Crane : ^^imercize^'A Susan Mendes, LVN Health Education Assistant On Thursday evening, February 10, I attended the self-defense class which was sponsored by the Public Safety Department and taught by Officer Mario Sainz. Since I had never taken a self-defense class before, I didn't know quite1 what to expect. The instructions said to wear loose, comfortable clothing and sooks, as we would practice without shoes. I had decided to take the class after reading about local women who were kidnapped while out shopping, running errands, and minding their own business. This made me realize that crimes can happen anywhere, to anyone. My classmates were all women who, like myself, wanted to know what to do in a dangerous situation. Officer Sainz started out by talking about possible dangers on campus, such as deserted stairwells and elevators. What to do if attacked in an elevator? "Push the emergency alarm button!" he advised. "Someone will respond." He also reminded us that Public Safety now operates 24 hours a day to respond to calls for help, and that they are able to provide escorts from campus buildings to the parking areas, which is especially important at night. Sainz pointed out that it is a good idea to locate the silver emergency phones found in the campus buildings before you need one. He explained that the phones on the blue light poles in the parking lot connect directly to dispatch and do not require coins. He said that the officers are glad to help students who lock keys in their car or who need a jump-start. After discussing how to avoid danger, he began to demonstrate what to do if you are attacked or threatened. Using movements based on Karate principles, we learned how to side-step and use the attacker's momentum to the victim's advantage. Sainz showed us how to resist a frontal attack and how to escape if attacked from behind. He explained that criminals look for victims, and talked of the importance of assertiveness. I was surprised by two things that evening. First, that you could learn so much in one class, and second, I was surprised that more students didn't attend. This was one of a series of classes that will be offered on campus free of charge for students or staff members. It is a wonderful resource, and I would highly recommend that everyone take at least one class, especially if you attend classes at night, shop in the evenings, or even buy gas or run errands after dark. I t's easy to go on believing "that it couldn't happen to me." Let's not wait until a crime happens on our quiet campus to become prepared.

This February their efforts paid o ff, and the Center for Decision Making opened with its state-of- the-art computer system on-line and running. The two men began by submitting a grant proposal to Hewlett Packard that would provide them with the necessary equipment to establish a group computer facility at CSUSM. Hewlett Packard furnished Jessup and Hinton with $ 150,000 worth of computer equipment that resulted in 30 computers, a laser printer and computer software. Further work was necessary to locate physical space f or the equipment and comply with all the regulations that accompany aproject of this size. With the equipment and space secured, the facility became a reality. Located on the second floor of Craven Hall, the Center for Decision Making appears very similar to corporate board rooms; however, this room includes the addition of computers. The computers are recessed into the table providing a sleek, modern, unobtrusive look. However, it is the software known as G roup S upport S ystem, o r "groupware" that integrates the computers and makes this center different from typical conference rooms. Groupware allows individuals or groups to work together forming decisions. Viewing the same information, members can make comments or suggestions anonymously to the entire group. After suggestions and comments have been entered, the groupware can easily arrange the data and help the members form a consensus. Companies have discovered this new technology has advantages. Jessup noted, "One of the reasons this has become so popular is being able to do things anonymously. Businesses have found they get a lot more candid free-flowing exchange of ideas and opinions when they use this software, as opposed to the traditional face-to-face meeting environment." While this software facilitates group meetings at CSUSM, it also expands o ther o ptions. Members meeting at CSUSM can include groups in other geographical locations. The software links groups from several different businesses or universities, and allow them to form collaborative decisions. Jessup also explained that meetings do not need to occur at the same time but could occur over the course of several weeks. A meeting could be initiated, and members could respond at their convenience. Decisions could be made at a later date based on the received input. A lthough the g roupware helps groups hold effective meetings, there is the potential to depend too heavily on technology. Business conferences could become too impersonal. Jessup explained that meeting facilitators play an important role in this type of center. Facilitators ensure that groups alternate between software and f ace-to-face interaction to achieve effective results. Besides understanding group dynamics, the facilitator must know how to use the group support system software. A great deal of the success of this computer center at CSUSM will depend on the skills of the meeting facilitator. While the center at CSUSM can help groups meet effectively, it can also provide other functions. Jessup explained that the Center can be used for research. Experiments and studies will occur to observe how groups and individuals behave when they use this type Bernie Hinton and Len J essup, the masterminds behind the Center for Decision Making of technology. The findings can then be used to develop software, and help companies implement this type of facility and software into their own businesses. The Center will also be used as a teaching tool. Jessup stated, "We plan to really integrate this within our business courses and within other courses at the campus." The creation of this center has already been a learning experience f or s tudents at C SUSM. T he groupware technology has already been running in the student computer labs, and Jessup has instructed courses in operating this software. During these classes, students have developed marketing projects for this type of center, trained as meeting facilitators for running group sessions, and helped do coding and programming using this innovative software. Jessup noted that the students have contributed substantially to the Center's development. Design of the C enter's tables and chairs has included the students' involvement. The quality of the Center will encourage businesses to use this facility, thereby providing additional revenue for the university. While businesses will be able to reap benefits from holding effective meetings, students will also have the ability to learn and experience the latest technology of the business world. �Earth Club Plans for Earth Days '94 Roy Latas I^SfiWtT DESIGN : environmental groups and vendors of ecologically oriented items.

Aguilar Contributing Writer A volunteer is someone who enters a service out of his/her free will. On November 16, 1967, Bertha Walker became an important volunteer when she joined the United States Marine Corps. Impressed by the confidence of the Marine officers at the enlisting office, Bertha decided to join the Marine Corps, and at the age of 18, she left her hometown of Pittsview, Alabama to serve in Okinawa, Japan, and Hawaii. The initiative which Bertha demonstrated as an 18-year-old further developed in the military as her leadership roles provided her with various responsibilities. Working as the Combined Federal Campaign Coordinator for her unit, she coordinated the collection of charitable contributions, served as a liaison between a Marine and the base, and worked with the Financial O ffice to resolve pay problems. While fulfilling her military duties, Bertha continued to pursue her educational goals. Majoring in history and minoring in religion, she received her Associates of General Studies Degree from Chaminade University in Honolulu, Hawaii. After 23 years of active duty, Bertha retired as a First Sergeant. She sought to complete her education at California State University, San Marcos where she also wanted to get involved in extracurricular activities. Since spring 1992, Bertha has been a member of the Pan-African Student Alliance, and she has been a member and past director of the History Club. Last spring, Bertha assisted in Student Affirmative Action's Student Leadership Conference. Then, in the fall semester, she served as the stage manager for the African-American students and Pan-Af- rican Student Alliance's production of the play, "For Colored Girls Who have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf." Bertha Walker's initiative and leadership continue to guide her actions within her community. "I feel that the AfricanAmerican student should be more visible on campus, and I feel that CSUSM should be visible in the community." "My participation in Volunteer Day is my way of practicing what I preach." As the Logistics Chairperson f or Volunteer Day on February 26, Bertha has been extremely visible throughout the preparatory stages of the event recruiting other volunteers and overseeing security, setting up, parking, registration, greeters/ hosts, and tours. As she tries to make sure the participating youth and volunteers experience a smooth day at CSUSM, Bertha Walker will continue to maintain high visibility. �In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place. — Gandhi Illegal Immigration is not the Problem By Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Last semester, the Political Science Association sponsored a NAFTA debate. It was a well-organized, i nformative'affair, bringing together a labor representative, an economist, an environmentalist and a representative from the San Diego Chamber of Commerce to discuss the virutes or flaws of the hotly debated trade agreement. The participants all gave prepared statements and the floor was then opened up for questions from the audience. A man sitting next to me was the first to shoot up his hand, and it was immediately clear from his body language that he felt very strongly about, well, something. "How can we enter into a trade agreement," he began, his voice shaking, "with a country that doesn't respect the sovereignty of our border!" His voice rose dramatically at the last statement. He had come armed with statistics, pseudo-facts, and anger to spare; his tirade was just getting started. The moderator and the other presenters attempted to steer the debate back towards real trade issues, but this spectator's single-minded determination was unsinkable. Every question became an indictment of California's immigration policy, and passion quickly displaced logic. The debate ended on a precarious note with tempers still flaring. NAFTA is now history, but the fear and ignorance surrounding the immigration debate in this state has grown. Legislators and "concerned" citizens like the gentleman that graced our campus that fine day continue to propagate the principle that illegal immigration from Mexico is somehow at the root of all our social, cultural and economic problems. We need to beef up the police presence at the border, cut off all government aid to illegal immigrants, even build a wall if necessary. Anything and everything, some immigration "experts" would have us believe, must be done to stop the tidal wave of thieves and freeloaders currently assaulting the shores of our great country. The problems with this kind of thinking are too numerous to mention here. Suffice it to say the immigration debate has been blown out of proportion by a group of selfrighteous policital activiists who are motivated by fear and racism, that this is just another example of politicians who are afraid to address real, substantive issues for fear of offending aportion of the voting public jumping on the immigration bandwagon. Illegal immigration is not threatening the fabric of our society. This is a country that was made great by the hard work and dedication of immigrants from all over the world who were attempting to escape the same kinds of conditions that the Mexicans who cross our border are escaping. Western European immigrants, anyway, have entered into the American folklore as tireless hard workers who helped shape the American dream. Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Mexican immigrants have always suffered the slings and arrows of a society that saw them as lazy and worthless. The current immigration furor is no exception. Despite the fact that the vast majority of illegal immigrants that come to this country are tireless, dedicated workers who actually contribute a great deal to our ailing economy, we are encouraged to see them as the problem. They are potential scapegoats for everything, and certain legislators would have us believe that all our problems could be solved by simply keeping them out. On the contrary, we could learn a thing or two by observing and emulating these hard-working, s elf-sufficient, industrious people that embody the ideals of rugged individualism and self-reliance that Americans once held dear. The problems in California (and there are many) are due to Californians and can be solved only by Californians. Mexico is a convenient scapegoat, but, alas, a false one. "Good fences make good neighbors," a well-meaning farmer repeats in RobertFrost's poem The Mending Wall. Like the farmer, we have taken that phrase to heart despite its obvious irrelevance. By strengthening the fence, we believe we can somehow make our own crops grow faster and stronger.

The variety of events that have occurred have featured informative lectures, films, and various types of musical formats. Black History Month initially began in the early 1900's under its founder, Carter G. Woodson. Woodson, an African-American historian, first initiated Negro History Week, which became Negro History Month, and is now recognized as Black History Month. Dr. Thompson, a political science professor explained that Woodson's purpose was to elevate the status and self-esteem of AfricanAmericans. He stated that Black History Month was also "toeducate and expose dominant groups, particularly whites, to the rich history, rich culture of African-Americans." During that period of history, Africn Americans were "subordinated in terms of culture, status, economy and equality." White culture rationalized their oppression of black Americans by claming the inferiority of their race. The revelation of African-Americans' rich culture and heritage would dispute this myth and could establish the legitimacy of African-American equality. Thompson explained that the activities scheduled for Black History Month complement the mission statement of the university. CSUSM's mission statement promotes an appreciation for, and study of, diversity in American society. The events were meant to provide an understanding and appreciation for African-American culture. Students interviewed in Dr. Jill Watts' History 335 class, which studies AfricanAmerican history, discussed their opinions about the events offered on campus. One student offered, "The events we have here on campus and in the community help to dispel stereotypes." Another student explained that these events "bring together and disband some barriers between cultures when we have Black History Month or other cultural awareness months." However, not all of the students agreed that the events really promoted understanding between cultures. One student felt that many people regarded Black History Month activities only as entertainment events. The student explained that often the majority of the audience attending black performances are white. She said, " They've always come out to see us perform. That h asn't changed with Black History Month or any other kind of month. The problem is, do they really get something out of it? Are we really giving them what they need to be more educated." While the students questioned whether Black History Month events should focus more on education rather than entertainment, one student explained that personal perspective on these events will probably cause differences of opinion. She explained, " It's a little b it of everything encompassed—education, entertainment. It means something different to everybody. Certainly to me being black is going to be somewhat deeper f or me, more of a pride month." David McKenzie, president of the PanAfrican Student Alliance, commented that the goals of his c lub's involvement with Black History Month have been primarily focused on education. Working with other associations on campus, this club has offered a series of lectures and films that have included professional staff to handle discussions and questions that arise following the lecture or film. McKenzie stressed the importance of education in the activities that promote Black History Month. "Education helps people understand that there is still a long way to go. There is still basically inequality between African-Americans and the rest of the dominant culture." McKenzie concluded that, "Black History Month was started because there was a failure of our education system to have the history of Black Americans or people of color, in traditional U.S. histoiy books. I would like to see us get to a point where we d on'tneedtodo this. Where it (black history) is included in the history with the general population and t here's no need to pick one month out of the year to say 'O.K. this is what w e've done in h istory'." David McKenzie, President of the PanAfrican Student Alliance Left to right: Betty Knoff, President of Friends of the Library, Bridget Bailey-Meier, I Director of Student Activities, and Ann Williams, Board Member of Friends of the Library. Friends of the Library, a community volunteer group, sponsored Bridget's informative talk on medicine and healthcare in the African-American community The Pan African Student Alliance is a student organization founded last year. The club was started by students from Africa, the United States and Caribbean nations.* The Pan African Student Alliance also incorporates n on-African-American m embers. Anyone who has an interest in AfricanAmerican history or progress is welcome to join the club. Club members keep abreast about issues that concern African-Americans at the local, national and international level. Club president, David McKenzie, also explained that since San Diego's North County lacks areas of concentration of African-Americans, the club serves a social function that allows people to get together. Club members also participate in the community by mentoring students of color in junior high school, and high school to help these students prepare for the transition to college. The Alliance has also been very active this month with the events that have occurred in honor of Black History Month.

AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION MEMORIALS & TRIBUTES 1-800- AHA-USA1 American Heart Association This space provided a s a public service. ©1993, American Heart Association �Generation X gets a Bite of Reality Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer Reality Bites is a smart, funny, insightful comedy about a group of friends who have no idea what to do with their lives after graduating from college. To label the film, as many critics have, a "Generation X " movie is to marginalize it, to insinuate that the filmmakers were only attempting to j ump on the media bandwagon by throwing in as much flannel, cappucino and slacker angst as possible. Indeed, all these elements are present in Reality Bites, but they are present because the movie is an honest account of life in the 9 0's, not because they are demographically pleasing to any particular focus group. The film transcends trend to speak to larger issues about alienation and the search for love in a meaningless world (issues that are surely not specific to twentynothings) and, judged by that criteria, Reality Bites manages to fall somewhere in between the comic and creative brilliance of The Graduate and the crass, cliched commercialism of St. Elmo's Fire. Far and away the f ilm's best feature is the funny, literate script by 23-year old Helen Childress. The dialogue is wellstructured, witty and true; full of throwaway references to everything from Hamlet to Three's Company but not the least bit condescending towards the audience. Childress captures the way that people talk to each other when they're not sure what they really mean, cloaking insecurity in sarcasm and hip bravado. The characters are fullbodied, complex and dimensional; they consistently surprise the audience and each other. Credit is also due the stellar cast, particularly Ethan Hawke and Janeane Garofalo. Hawke plays the resident cynic Troy, an out of work, out of energy philosophy major who threatens to turn any environment he enters into a "den of slack." Hawke is marvelously appealing; he manages to exude viciousness, vulnerability, intelligence and guilt without ever seeming artificial. Ditto Garofalo, who brings great comic energy and skill to her role. Winona Ryder is charming in the read role as a highly creative, intelligent college valedictorian who c an't get hired at Wienerschnitzel. There is an an obvious mutual attraction between Ryder and Hawke, and their avoidance and verbal sparring seem very realistic. These actors are a perfect match for the smart script, and in the early scenes when they are allowed to explore their characters without the strain of artificially imposed situations, the film is at its best. As the film progresses, though, a romantic triangle develops between Ryder, Hawke, and a well-meaning yuppie played by Ben Stiller (who also directs). Stiller is a highly skilled comical actor, and he manages to do extremely well with an endearingly inarticulate character that could easily have been turned into a stereotype. But the last 20 minutes of the film buy into conventional romantic movie sentiment, and in so doing loses the character-driven charm of the m ovie's first half. Reality Bites is at its best when it allows itself to be about nothing. It is a rare delight to see intelligent, imperfect humans struggling with the mysteries of life and each other. This film speaks to the concerns of its audience without trivializing them, and for that it should be treasured. P remieres March 5th TM iM From the animators of The Simpsons.

Presidential Youth Service Awards Know of any young people volunteering in the community? There are thousands of youths who donate their time and e ffort to make North County abetterplaceandCSUSM is seeking nominations for the President's Youth Service Awards to recognize their efforts. The President's Youth Service Awards were created by the White House O ffice of National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of CSUSM's commitment to community service, the university was authorized to assist in identifying those young people whose volunteer efforts are a model for all. Each year CSUSM honors young people, ages 5-22, with the President's Awards or the National Award to recognize meaningful service to the community. To allow young people with different skill levels to compete fairly, the awards are presented in four age categories, 5 -8 years, 9 13 years, 14-17 years, and 18-22 years. The awards are given f or individual achievement, however, individuals who per- form community service as part of a group are eligible. The awards are designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service and to r ecognize h ands-on s ervice; all fundraising activities are excluded from consideration. This year, the awards will recognize youths who show leadership in projects that focus on helping others to learn. We also understand that community service extends past the age of 22. Therefore, we are including CSUSM students in this recognition. Criteria are: exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and building a service ethic. To be eligible, nominees must be North County residents, but they need not be U.S. citizens. Nominations are being accepted through Feb. 28. Your participation can help us to applaud the community work of our students. All nominees will be honored in arecognitiori ceremony at the university to be held Apr. 19, 6:30-8 PM.

Not exactly. Susan Brown is too busy overseeing a binding project or making sure direct mail brochures get out on time. Brown runs the Duplication Services Department at CSUSM. You may have seen her when y ou've stopped by Science Hall 209 to feed nickels into the self-serve copier when the copier in the Libraiy was tied up and you wanted to save five cents per page. The Duplication Services Department is a full-service operation designed to meet the needs of CSUSM faculty and staff (and when there is time, students). Students sometimes lose their patience at the self-serve copier while listening to the Duplications Services copiers complete 500page documents while they are still manually lifting the lid in between each of their 25 pages of class notes. Susan Brown feels the students' pain. Her staff is instructed to help students whenever time permits. They will help create transparencies for class presentations and fasten business presentations in a thermal tape or spiral binding. One of the main reasons Duplication Services c an't meet all students' needs is time, Brown says. Students generally need their copies right away. The Duplication Department has a 48-hour turn-around policy designed to account f or equipment failure and staffing. Despite the 48 hour policy, if you need a transparency, the department can generally finish it while you wait. Next time y ou're in the neighborhood have the time, stop by and say hello to Susan and her hard-working staff. Catching Susan in the act of another busy day in Duplication Services.

Anyway, this race was supposedly held to benefit the Council for Literacy , but unfortunately, after the race, most everyone gathered for free food instead of lining up to find out how to become a volunteer tutor. I guess that shouldn't surprise me by now. Butitdoes. At the time, I was kind of nervous about meeting with my learner for the first time on the day after the race, but I still felt good that I was finally able to help someone learn to read.

It was like they were invisible. pulling out someone else's leftovers before the seagulls could get to them. All around, people in bike shorts and 10L T-shirts were eating their free food, drinking their free drinks, and chatting about the race or anything else they happened to think about. Yet no one, not a single person, offered anything to these homeless men. No one said a word to any of them. As far as I could tell, I was the only one who even looked at them. It was like they were invisible. If we ignore them, then they're not really there. I began to thinkl was the only one who could see them. The food booths have a system, where they mark off your race number to ensure that no one gets more than one of each item. I hadn't taken anything but the coffee, since the samples they were giving were definitely not health food! I changed my mind. I went back and hit every single booth. Then I found the man who had been searching through the garbage cans and said "Hello." His smile lit up his sun-beaten face like nothing I've ever seen before. He seemed so happy just to have someone to talk to for a minute. I asked if he wanted some cheesecake. Itoldhimlcouldn't handle all that sugar. He accepted it right away. Then I offered him the rest of what was in my bag. He said he would take anything I was willing to give him. I gladly gave him everything. The smile didn't leave his face, or mine.

It seemed like an old friend to him, a phrase he once knew well, but hadn't heard in a very long time. I'll never forget the look on his face as he said "Yeah, you toot" and walked through the park with his bag of goodies once reserved for those you paid the entry fee. As I headed back toward the finish line and the bus stop, I passed another man standing at the front of the park with his bag of cans in his hand and a wistful, longing look in his eyes. He didn't say anything to anyone, and no one said anything to him. I walked past him about 50 feet, but couldn't get the look on his face out of my mind. I turned to go back, but as I watched him stare blankly into the crowd, I realized I had nothing left to give him. There was nothing more I could do today. I turned, sick with the knowledge that I had been there for an hour and I was the only one who seemed to notice or care about these men. If there was nothing more I could do today, it seemed more than likely that nothing else would be done. I wiped my tears from my eyes as I boarded the bus for my ride back to the Horton Plaza parking garage and my sheltered middle class life. I was lucky, I was going home, where I didn' t have to remember the people I had seen. But I'll always remember that some people didn't go home that day—they had no home to go to.

We often have to suspend other important aspects of our lives, such as employment, relationships, and leisure activities. When students cope with the difficulties and share in the excitement together, the educational pursuit can become much easier. Support is available on the campus of CSUSM. Support groups bring together people who share common concerns and help each person to cope more effectively. In a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, students assist each other with personal and educational challenges. Through shared understanding and the exchange of ideas with peers, students in support groups : • experience a sense of control over their lives • reduce the feeling of isolation. • obtain a better perspective on their problems • have the opportunity to discuss emotions • share and reinforce positive coping skills. To join a CSUSM support group, simply be there. With no fee or obligation to attend every week, just come when you feel the need. Support groups meet in Room 5205, Craven Hall in the Student Resource P age 13 P age12 P age 14 University Employee/Students Pay Lower Fees True or false...? University employees who are also students at CSUSM (UES) pay full fees including tuition and other expenses. What? You guessed incorrectly? That's right! UESs do not pay nary the amount of fees that full or even part-time students pay. How much do the UES pay, you might ask? Well, the grand total is $3 per semester up to six units. Yes sir, three bucks. One dollar is allotted for Student Unibtf fees, one dollar is earmarked for Health Facilities, and the last dollar is allocated for Student Body Associated fees. But wait...aren't the UESs entitled toafewperks? Ofcourse, sure, but should they be completely exempt from paying fiill fees, especially student fees, since after all, they are students? The ironic part is that it is entirely possible for the UESs to rlin for an elected position on the Associated Students council. This means that the UES who pays nominal fees, at most, is given the responsibility of representing full-fee-paying students. I 'm not suggesting that the UESs are not entitled to repre- sentation on the A.S. council; a student is a student is a student, no matter how great or small the monetary contribution to a c&sh-strapped system. But a conflict arises when those who do not contribute monetarily are able to participate fully in the programs sponsered by the rest of the fundingpopulace, simply because they are students. Perhaps the university, during this time of financial dire straits, would reconsider its position of favoritism towards its employees and commit the UESs to paying their fair share of fees.

Widely regarded as "the father of cable television," Daniels is chairman of Daniels Communitcations Inc., a diversified group of companies including Daniels & Associates. "Bill Daniels was selected as this y ear's honoree because of his vision, leadership, high ethical standards, and community service, all of which are legendary. H e is widely respected not only f or his remarkable accomplishments in the business world but also f or his philanthropic activities. Supportive of higher education, Daniels funded C SUSM's first endowed chair. Daniels represents the ultimate aim of our university; he is an outstanding citizen of his country and community, and, in addition, he is a role model of business acumen, fairness, and success," said President Bill Stacy. Over the years, Daniels has received countless awards for his civic leadership. He is known both as an entrepreneur and a humanitarian. He served as the earliest leader of the fledgling cable trade association, founded the first cable brokerage company and launched the first cable investment banking business. He owned and operated hundreds of cable television systems, created dozens of innovative sports programming companies, and along the way, has devoted a sizable share of • > -V/ ' • t 1 time to the creation of new civic enterprises, helping those less fortunate, and cultivating a new generation of industry leaders. Daniels is an active participant in federal and state government and remains an outspoken advocate of America's f ree enterprise system. In 1992, Bill was honored with a special Emmy Award f rom the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for his unparalleled record of achievement J n the development of television, and f or his humanitarian work. C SUSM's ball will be held at the Sheraton Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. For information call Jane Lynch at 752-4406. nUnplanned Pregnancy?1 Decisions To Make?

The Political Science Department is in the process of hiring a new faculty member to teach in one of two categories: Political Behavior and American Politics or Public Law and Political Theory. Before a faculty member is accepted, he or she must pass a teaching test. "Here at CSUSM, a faculty member's main responsibility is teaching. We put the candidates in an environment where we can evaluate their teaching," said Dr. Peter Zwick, head of the Political Science Department. Friday, March 4th and Monday, March 7th, two candidates demonstrated their teaching styles in front of CSUSM students. Dr. Helena Silverstein joined six students last Friday to discuss contemporary constitutional law issues in a seminar format. Monday, Dr. Louis DiSipio, presented a lecture on Latino voting patterns to a senior seminar class of twenty. Dr. Zwick said that putting candidates in an actual classroom setting serves two purposes. "First we are inviting student reaction. Second, we are watching and evaluating their performance in that setting." After Silverstein and DiSipio's presentations, Dr. Zwick invited students to give him feedback on the candidates performance and teaching style. "Traditionally, major universities invite top candidates to a seminar," Zwick said. Candidates will then "make a formal presentation of their research containing lots of data" to the decision-making committee. Sometimes graduate students are invited to the seminar. The Political Science Association, a CSUSM student organization, was actively involved in bringing the candidates closer to the students. In lieu of a scheduled Political Science class Friday March 4th, the PSA gathered together students to sit in with Dr. Silverstein. "The PSA was really helpful in getting people to come out and listen," Zwick said. These classroom presentations were the final step in a candidate selection process that began last fall. When the Political Science Department obtained authorization to hire a new faculty member the decision making committee (Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr. Thompson) announced the position in a trade publication called "American Political Science Personnel Service Newsletter." They also "put the word out" to other universities. The committee continued their search in Washington D.C. at the American Political Science Association's meeting in September 1993. * The APSA meeting hall was a virtual 'meat-rack* said Dr. Zwick, where candidates and universities looking for faculty met for interviews. Dr. Zwick, Dr. Golich and Dr. Thompson spent time at the meeting "getting the word out and looking for a good candidate." Applications and resumes rolled in last fall. Over winter break the committee evaluated the applications and broke candidates down to a short list of twenty then into a shorter list of eleven. "Since all eleven looked good on paper" it was time to conduct in-depth phone interviews to further evaluate the contenders. Economics Professor Arnold joined the team. The committee spent one-half hour on a speaker phone with each of the eleven finalists to evaluate their "personality, interests and how they came across verbally." These phone sessions "added another dimension to the selection process," said Zwick. Financial constraints prohibited inviting more than two candidates to visit CSUSM for final interviews and classroom performance tests. The Political Science Department has a total selection budget of $2,000 to cover airfare, food and lodging for all of the candidates combined. Dr. Helena Silverstein is currently a professor of Government and Law at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. She earned her Ph.D. at the University of Washington. Silverstein's academic interest is "Legal Mobilization" (using the legal process as a means of social change). Dr. Louis DiSipio is a p rofessor at Wellesley College in Massachusetts. He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Texas in Austin. His area of expertise is elections and political behavior. Who will make last cuts? Silverstein or DiSipio? Will the selection c ommittee's choice coincide with the students' favorite ? The word is not out yet. The final decision will be made early this week. When the hiring process is complete, The Pride will publish a profile of our new political science faculty member.

Human Papillomavira virus Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH T T f you read this column frequently you I might be wondering why I am writ J L ing about another sexually transmitted disease. In reality, I have no idea how many people actually read this column. Recently, I have written about other current health concerns; however, the subject of this column, Human Papillomavira Virus (HPV) infection, has become a very common and important health problem to the college-age population. This will also be a first, the first of a two part column, because HPV infection is complex and misinformation is common. Human papillomavira (HPV) is the virus that causes warts. There are more than 60 types with approximately a dozen types that can cause warts or subtle signs of infection in the genital tract. Genital HPV is not a reportable disease so we do not have exact numbers on how much of the population is infected. It is estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million new cases of genital HPV occur each year. It clearly is the fastestrisingviral STD. Genital HPV is now thought to be more contagious than previously. It is usually spread through sexual contact with an infected person, although intercourse is not necessary to spread the infection. In studies, two thirds of those with genital warts infected their partners. It is very likely that genital HPV infection also can be transmitted when warts are not present. When viral infections are transmitted from person to person the virus infects the top layers of the skin and can remain inactive or dormant for a long time. We are frequently asked for how long? No one knows for sure but months and may be years can go by before signs of infection or warts appear. For most people, warts will appear within three to six months. Some types of HPV will result in more visible warts than others. Types 6 and 11 will almost always result in visible warts. Other types that may infect the cervix of women may not produce visible warts. Currently, there is no easy test that is reliable, cost effective, and helpful in treatment that identifies the HPV type. HPV cannot be grown in the laboratory and cannot be detected by a blood test. We also know that when warts or other signs of HPV occur, a healthy immune system may clear up the warts by itself over a period of months or years. However, the HPV may still remain, and recurrence of warts is fairly common. When HPV is present in the genital area without visible genital warts one is considered to have "subclinical infection." It is becoming very clear that subclinical infections are much more widespread than anyone would have thought ten years ago. Also, as research tools become more sensitive in detection of HPV we are finding a greater prevalence in patients with subclinical infection. Many researchers believe that medical science is for thefirsttime identifying an infectious agent that likely has been widespread in the population for decades. What does it all mean? I will address that in a column soon. If you are concerned about this health problem, read the next column and/or contact your health care provider or Student Health Services at 752-4915.

San Marcos Blvd. Ste. 105 San Marcos 744-7165 If you drive under the influence of alcohol, or any other drug, you risk the chance of spending the night in a cold place. I'm not talking about the smelly county jail. I 'm talking about that cold slab at the county morgue. And the worst thing is next to you could be an innocent pedestrian, driver of the vehicle you hit, or even a child, maybe yours! Get the picture? DUI, DWI, stupidity, whatever you want to call it. If you drink alcoholic beverages you probably have driven under the influence. In San Diego in 1992, 23 people were killed and 542 injured in alcohol-involved crashes. The sad thing is this could have been avoided and the people in those numbers were in the 16 to 20 age group. More than 43 percent of all 16 to 20-year old deaths are caused by vehicle crashes. Nationally, enough people die in these crashes to fill a sports arena. Does a sold out stadium give you a good idea? We're talking serious numbers! Based on the current status of drunk driving in the U.S., two out of five people will be involved in an alcohol-related crash at some time in their lives. AM I DRUNK? Some people think you have to be stumbling or falling down to be considered intoxicated, and unable to drive. Well we all know that's wrong, I hope. According to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) a person cannot drive a vehicle with a .08 percent or more, by weight of alcohol in his or her blood, and sometimes as low as .05 percent. This is only for people 21 years or older. If you are under 21 and caught with a blood content of .01, under the new law (SB 689) as of January 1, 1994 your license will be suspended for one year. There is no safe way to drink and drive. Your skills can be impaired with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of only .02 percent (equivalent of one 12-oz. beer, a 4-oz. glass of wine, or a 1 1/4-oz. shot of 80-proof liquor). BAC tests measure the percent of alcohol in apersons blood based upon grams of alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath. These tests are performed by taking a blood, breath or urine sample. The test is your choice unless the facility cannot perform a certain test. If you didn't already know you gave written consent for chemical testing for alcohol or drugs on your drivers license application or renewal form. Did you know that 64 percent of passenger vehicle drivers who are fatally injured between 9 PM and 6 AM have BACs at or above .10 percent (the old legal limit). Drivers with BACs above .15 percent who drive on weekend nights risk a 380 times higher chance of being killed in a single vehicle crash than non drinking drivers. For the average male (170-189 lbs.) that's about 1.5 drinks an hour. And for the average woman (110129 lbs.) you're at risk after 1 drink an hour. And if you're tired, drink on an empty stomach, have strong drinks, or take other drugs including medicine, alcohol could further impair your driving skills and judgment. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I G ET CAUGHT? Once an officer believes you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he or she will have you perform some field coordination tests. If the officer feels that you have failed the tests or you refused to take them, i t's off to jail you go. Once at the jail you are given the chance to pick the test you want to take. After that, you get booked, fingerprinted, and given a nice colorful plastic bracelet. Did I fail to mention they take all your personal items including your shoe laces and belts? Then you are placed in a dirty cell with some interesting characters. Later you have to make that embarrassing call for someone to come and pick you up. Plan on about five hours of time spent in jail, and only if you are arrested for DUI of alcohol. If you kill or injure someone or have some other charge, plan on not going to work for awhile.

He who conquers himself is mighty. — Lao Tse "Louis Farrakhan is a Problem" Doris and Alex Padilla Contributing Writers So we again find ourselves battling over racial issues. America's obsession with race continues, and as usual, ignorance and paranoia persist. Unfortunately, our racial dilemma only surfaces, or is given heightened media attention in a negative context, and only when America is forced to address it. "Louis Farrakhan is a problem." So begins the cover story of the Feb. 28, 1994 issue of Time Magazine. While most can see an agend of racist ideology in Minister Farrakhan's views, the real question should be, "Why is America so concerned at this time?" Is it that we as a society are moving towards more racial tolerance and such words are offensive? Is it that the "political correctness" age that we so gladly subscribe to, allowsno room for such verbiage? Or is it that such words coming from a group like the Nations of Islam are just too forceful? When an organization through a charismatic leader like Farrakhan fills up the seats of Madison Square Garden, the Los Angeles Sports Arena and other major public entertainment venues, people take notice. When an organized security force can combat drugs and crime in the most crime-ridden city areas where the local police departments are powerless, heads turn. When a group can reach into our prisons and successfully rehabilitate discarded individuals, something is definitely going down. Farrakhan certainly speaks about fact. African Americans have been struggling for social equality and economic independence in America since its conception. Farrakhan states that his goal is not to teach hate. The main focus of his argument calls for change in social perspective for African Americans. To learn true "freedom" in America requires economic control over oneself, and collective, or group control of community businesses. This is sound strategy, and to these considerations, Farrakhan does speak for African Americans. However, in promoting more hate and discourse among ethnic groups, Farrakhan does not represent the voice of most African Americans. For African Americans to take the hate that has been so bountifully served upon them in America and deflect it upon another ethnic group is counterproductive, and we understand that. The irony continues to be America's lack of understanding the obvious. If hate is being promoted in the African American community, it certainly does not come from Farrakhan, The Nations of Islam, or any of its members. America only needs to look at the fabric of its societal framework to see the seeds of this deadly virus. If there is a problem with Louis Farrakhan, it rests with those organizations in America that do not wish to see any unity or real progress made by the African American. Until we discover our inaccuracies in attitude and judgment towards each other, and venture toward a change in understanding each American, we shall continue in ignorance and remain a flawed nation.

Videogames? For the student lounge. Give me a break. Are we really serious about our reputation in the academic community? Do we intend to uphold our reputation as a challenging academic campus? Not by providing vidiot entertainment in the lounge. What is wrong with installing a television in the lounge that could serve to provide us with news, Discovery channel, soaps for the truly deprived or any other manner of dubious entertainment? Who is paying for these games? They aren't free, and I certainly would hate to think that any portion of my already excessive fees were being used to provide the students with mindless and idiotic entertainment. If we are overly concerned with entertaining the students, why not simply devote a portion of the computer labs to computer games? At least students with the urge to entertain themselves would pick up some computer skills. I personally feel that video games have no redeeming social value and they do not belong on the campus of a school that is attempting to make its mark on the cutting edge of academia. Unless, of couse, we are not. I do not come to school here to be entertained. I come to get an education. Maybe if more students were to rethink their priorities, they might see that the games have no place on campus. Susan Gehrke Student Lounge TYirned into a Playground Dear Editor: The other day, I stepped into the student lounge to read a bit before class. What I found upon entering was a pool table, three video games, and fewer students using the room to study than was previously the case. What has happened to the student lounge? It's been turned into a playground. If you believe, as I do, that a college campus should primarily concern itself with creating an atmosphere conducive to learning, then you would probably agree that this is not the best way to use the lounge. This campus has the advantage of having an atmosphere that centers around education and a studentbody that is bent on academic achievement, but the arrival of these games lessens this advantage. I've talked to several friends on campus, and I hear much the same thing. That is, that i t's a waste of space, and almost embarrassing. While I, personally, have a soft spot for a good game of pool, I sincerely doubt that is the best use for our lounge. And, I wouldn't be completely honest if I said I have no problem with video games such as Mortal Kombat, but do we want to spend our valuable and limited space on these devices? I would argue that we do not, and I suspect that those students who do make use of the lounge would agree. What students need on campus is a place to study in some degree of silence, that is, without the noise of the Dome, while, at the same time, being able to drink a cup of coffee or have a sandwich. The study lounge was the best place to do this, until Mortal Combat came into the picture. Now, the students that used this room for that purpose are combating the noise of the Dome, or pooling at the tables just outside of it. The decision has been made, for now. But we can change it by gathering 200 signatures in order to place the issue on the spring ballot. Then, we can all be involved in deciding how to best utilizerthe student lounge. Barry Walker Lexis/Nexis isn't Perfect Yet -- f iii Dear Editor: I applaud Mr. Holmes' letter! I see that he is as concerned as we in the library about the computer competency requirement. We recognize that students need extra help in using the computer resources in the library. Our concern led us to hire and train students to serve as Information Assistants (see Pride article October 22,1993). We believe that by educating and providing assistance through the Information Assistant Program, students will learn to evaluate their searches better, limit their printing to what is essential for their research, and learn to appreciate the capabilities of downloading. We are also environmentally conscious and unfortunately students do tend to abuse printing so we continually encourage students to download their searches to a disk. The library has even been selling disks at cost to make it easier for students. Mr. Holmes does not have all the facts straight about Lexis/Nexis and the printing/ downloading problem. The incident recounted by Mr. Holmes is true; students have been known to print reams of paper from Lexis/Nexis. At the end of fall semester the library inquired about the possibility of disablingthe printing function from Lexis. We were told that this was not possible. Much later and totally unrelated to our inquiries, Mead Data (producer of the database) informed us that they would no longer support the download document feature. However, they do allow us to record a session onto disk. This feature captures the entire search to be downloaded but requires Past Is the ?

"T ith the box-office success ofJurassic Park \ J \ J and the critical success ofSchindler'sList, T T this has been the year of Spielberg, and there is little doubt that the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony will do anything but put the icing on the cake. Schindler's List has more nominations than any other film, and Spielberg has captured all the other awards (Golden Globe, Director's Guild) that usually serve as indicators of Oscar performance. Also, the Academy has shunned Spielberg for years and Schindler serves as a perfect opportunity to make up for past exclusion while at the same time rewarding the socially conscious, epicfilmmakingOscar so loves. It is unfortunate, though, that so many otherfilmsfar more cinematically interesting and daring than Spielberg's work will be shut out in the process; BEST PICTURE Nominees: Schindler's List, The Piano, Remains of the Day, In the Name of the Father, The Fugitive Not much suspense here, though this is a fairly wellrounded selection of qualityfilmsthat (with the exception of The Piano) break very little new cinematic ground. Short Cuts and Fearless were far superior to most nominated films but not nearly as accessible. The Academy went out on a limb last year by choosing the unsettling masterpiece Unforgiven, but expect no such luck this year. What Will Win: Schindler's List What Should Win: The Piano BEST DIRECTOR Nominees: Spielberg, Jane Campion {The Piano), Robert Altman (Short Cuts), James Ivory (Remains of the m <m m.*6r.t*m. <* mm i m < * ~jt j r ^ «t & jm m. s» Jt hm -nt jr-*. her career in The Age of Innocence.

Jonathan Demme's fine direction in away all competition for her passionate, complex portrayal of Philadelphia and Fred Schepsi's work on Six Degrees of a mute pianist. Who Will Win: Hunter Separation were unjustly shut out, but Campion deservedly Who Should Win: Hunter makes her mark as only the second woman to be nominated BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR for best director. Nominess: Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive), Pete Who Will Win: Spielberg Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father), John Malkovich Who Should Win: Altman (In the line of Fire), Leonardo DiCaprio (What's Eating BEST ACTOR Gilbert Grape), Ralph Fiennes (Schindler's List). Nominees: Tom Hanks (Philadelphia),r Laurence This is the category with the most talent. Jones stole Fishburne (What's Love Got to Do With It?), Anthony Hopkins (Remains of the Day), Daniel Day-Lewis (In the The Fugitive from the.talented Harrison Ford and newcomer Fiennes bitathed life into Schindler. Postlethwaite was Name of the Father), Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), This is the toughest category to call, though Hanks remarkably moving without being the least bit sentimental. Who Will Win: Fiennes looks like the favorite for his performance as a homosexual Who Should Win: A 3 way Jones-Fienneslawyer dying of AIDS. His co-star Denzel Washington was 'X just as impressive, but the Academy has always loved tragic Postlethwaite tie, J; BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS star turns mid giving Hanks the award would make up for the Nominees: Holly Hunter (The Firm), Emma Thompfact that the film was slighted in other major categories. Fishburne was awesome as Ike Turner, and his surprise son (In the Name of the Father), Winona Ryder (Age of Innocence), Anna Paquin (The Piano), Rosie Perez (Fearnomination makes the race even more competitive. less). Who Will Win: Tom Hanks Hunter and Thompson make history as the V>st pair of Who Should Win: Daniel Day-Lewis actresses to go head to head in both the lead ana supporting BEST ACTRESS Nominees: Emma Thompson (Remains of the Day), categories, but neither will bring home the statue here.

Are you stuck in rut? Why notjump off the bandwagon and sharpen the creative side of your mind? Solana Beach has a well-kept secret that is slowly but surely beginning to leak out. Tucked away in Lomas Santa Fe Plaza just off of the Lomas Santa Fe exit is the North County Repertory Theatre. Believe it or not, the theatre has been around since 1982. It was started by Olive andTomBlakistone. The theatre is charming and quaint and holds 185 people. Although a non-equity theatre, the North County Rep, as locals call it, produces professional quality plays. The actors receive a pittance compared to other major theatres but actors vie to be in the plays because of the high caliber productions. Plays range from comedies such as Neil Simon's Biloxi Blues, to more dramatic productions such as the recentM. Butterfly. Every play is fresh and new with an interesting flair. Having attended numerous plays at the North County Rep, I have never been dissappointed. One of the funniest was a crazy comedy by Neil Simon (a favorite of the theatre) called Rumors. I ached from laughing so much. There is a new play every couple of months. Tickets are regularly priced at $16 but with a student I.D., they are only $12. The theatre is in a terrific location, next to a cute coffee house that features home-baked goodies and music. The Samurai Restaurant and Froglanders Yogurt are also in the plaza. And, there is plenty of parking! - So... what does all this mean to you? Not only does the theatre have plays, they also offer acting lessons for adults and children. Auditions are open to everyone and students are often used in productions. If the idea sounds good but you're tight on money, you can volunteer as an usher and acquire free tickets. This summer the North County Rep will be launching their new children's theatre. Currently featured is a delightful romantic comedy by Wendy Wasserstdp, I$n'tlt Ro-« mantic. It is very refreshing^iist in time for Spring. So, next time you can't think of what to do, give the North County Repertory Theatre a try. You might find it a very pleasant surprise.

Bringing a child to school may be the only alternative when daycare arrangements fall through or do not coordinate with class schedules. Since the average age of students at this university is 29, many students have preschool < children that require daycare supervision. Along with the challenge of attending school, these students also face the difficult task of finding affordable, convenient, and safe childcare. Unfortunately, CSUSM is the only university in the state system that offers no childcare facilities for its students. For the past two years, CSUSM student, Angela Lowder, has worked with the Associated Students, to provide a solution to the childcare problem. Since new laws restrict the State of California from funding the construction of any future childcare facilities, this burden has fallen on the students. Lowder has taken up this chalnumagentftt^ lenge and succeeded in establishing a fund President, Bill Stacy, >;^ ^^-a' ^ which has raised $25,000 towards the development of a daycare facility. However, Lowder explained that finding a suitable location to establish a center has proved to c Myouha^di&er^daiice^.bti^ • § f r o m r e g i o n . ^ T W ^ . j ^ s h ^ ^ be the greatest problem. A location on I^eai^;the s ame jjl^ campus has proved to be too costly. EstiM mi^;.;-' mates could range as high as a million dollars to construct a building and provide &f ^ all the necessary services to the site. Louder has examined several sites offered by Cal' i tem i s a r ed 1 994 St&irtdi Si<tekick p mvided ^ l l i e g oal o f t he e ventis; t&E&ise Trans, but each location has proved unsuitt he fcalfgo able. Sandra Kuchler, Associate Dean of Students, noted that the administration is aware and very sensitive to the need for childcare at the University.

Do you know what they are? PYSA is an award ceremony that recognizes volunteerism and community service in the young people of North San Diego County. These awards come from President Clinton and are administered by the White House's Office of National Service and the Corporation on National and Community Service. CSUSM students are recognized during the ceremony as well as young people in the community who have been nominated. This is our second year of participation and we are pleased with the community response. To date, over fifty nominations have been received! We encourage you to attend the ceremony. The President's Youth Service Award ceremony will be held on Tuesday, April 19th at 6:30pm on the stairs next to Craven Hall. If you have any questions or would like to assist us during the ceremony, please call Gabriela Sonntag (752-4356) in the library. Speaker to Talk on Alcohol Use Without Abuse Every year, millions of Americans and their families are adversely affected in some way by alcohol abuse. Yet, many people would find it difficult or impossible to define alcohol abuse. Chances are your answer would differ from that of the person sitting next to you. So what is a "safe" level of alcohol use? What happens when you get a DUI? Can you be arrested for driving after having one drink? And what about the new DUI law that passed in January? Soon you will have a chance to have these and other questions answered by an expert. On Tuesday, April 12, Student Health Services is sponsoring a presentation entitled "Alcohol Use Without Abuse" featuring guest speaker Rafael Thomson. Mr. Thomson 'April ..

Well, it is true that the CSUSM Alumni Association does need your money in order to operate, but it is the Association's goal to provide some real benefits for all its members, especially those of you who are newly graduated. During the next year, you may be surprised how often you feel the need to utilize the resources of the campus. Perhaps you will need to use the computer lab or the library or want to attend one of the Arts and Lectures events on campus. Maybe you want to find out what someone in your Psychology class is doing these days, but you don't know how to reach her. Members of the Alumni Association will have access to these things and much, much more! The Alumni Association of CSUSM was formed to provide a continued link between the university and its alumni, and to "enhance the continued cultural, educational, personal and professional development of its members." It has taken the greater part of the last two years for the Alumni Board to get organized, prepare a data base and to put together a nice package of benefits for its members. Between April 15 and May 31, graduating seniors can join the Alumni Association for $15. This is a $10 discount off the normal price.

The club is the brainchild of Rika Yoshii, faculty member of the College of Arts and Sciences. It boasts 15 Japanese students but only a few tentative Americans, although Rika is anxious to recruit more. Most of the students are business majors who have come to California to improve their English and experience what passes for American culture. If you have been wondering why you see so many Japanese students in the Dome but never seem to take a class with one, it is because most of the foreign exchange students spend their first year in intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. Some of the Japanese students are mildly critical of this arrangement. Akari Sagane, for example, wishes she could take classes with local students. After learning a little about the Japanese educational system, you begin to appreciate just how determined CSUSM* s Japanese students must be. After 12 years in a school system which still allows corporal punishment, and is widely regarded as the most competitive in the world, most students look forward to an easy four years of college, a "four-year party" is how Akari describes it. For a student to relinquish this "rest" and go to a foreign country, with a different language and competitive universities, demonstrates their tenacity. One of the more interesting activities planned by the club is the formation of an international music band which will blend elements of Japanese music with American rock and roll. Rika hopes to send the band to Japan to see how they will be received. They are still in need of a male vocalist. Interested parties should contact Yoshii directly. An American student might wonder why he or she should join the club. Well, for a business student, there is an obvious advantage, and many liberal studies majors might benefit from some hands-on experience with another culture. For the rest of us, I can say that I found the Japanese students to be intelligent and interesting people and I look forward to the next club meeting. For more information about the Japa- Japanese Students get together to share their experiences of life at an American university nese Cultural Exchange Club contact Rika Yoshii at 752-4121 or 6231 Craven Hall.

T O V OTE �Project Wildlife looks for volunteers to care for animals, birds • p r o j e c t Wildlife is gearing up for 1 - ^ S a n Diego County's annual baby A season. Over the next five months, Project Wildlife will receive between 7-8,000 baby birds and mammals. Volunteers are needed to care for injured and orphaned wildlife four hours per week .at the Project Wildlife Care Facility in San Diego. Volunteers are also needed to care for baby birds and mammals in their own homes. Rescue/transport volunteers and telephone volunteers are in demand too. "The wildlife baby season is almost upon us," said Ly n Lacy e, spokesperson for Project Wildlife. "We desperately need caring volunteers to help with the thousands of injured, orphaned or displaced animals and birds in San Diego County." There are a number of ways to help in this massive effort to save San Diego's native wildlife. Individuals who are home during the day will be trained in the care and feeding of baby songbirds. Dependable people are needed to volunteer four hours a week at the Project Wildlife Care Facility, which is open seven days a week, 12 hours a day. "If you do find a baby bird or mammal, be sure it really is orphaned before you rescue •it," cautioned Lacye. "Many species leave their young while out searching for food. Be sure the parents are not returning to feed. Project Wildlife can rescue, rehabilitate and release these wild babies, but there is no substitute for the real parent." A baby bird that has fallen from the nest ¥ PROJECT WILDLIFE A SECONd chAINCE can be put back and the parent will continue to feed it. If you cannot reach the nest, put the bird in a plastic bowl lined with tissue or paper towels as close as possible to the original site. The parents will usually find it. When rescue becomes necessary, the bird or animal should be handled as little as possible. Often these otherwise healthy creatures die of stress. Keep the animal or bird warm, dark and quiet, and call Project Wildlife. Until you reach a volunteer, do not feed the wildlife. Baby birds and mammals can easily inhale food into their lungs and die, and incorrect diet can cause irreparable damage. Project Wildlife, a non-profit volunteer organization, has been in existence since 1975. Over7,000 animals and birds are brought to Project Wildlife each year. The organization receives no government funding and exists entirely on membership donations and charitable contributions. For more volunteer information, call 225 WILD or 588-4289.

Joel Grinolds, MD, MPH 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 rain. Spring and early summer in Southern California make one out of six people fairly miserable with allergy symptoms. The recent rains have spurred the growth of indoor and outdoor molds, tree pollen 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 the people with allergic rhinitis will also have wheezing with exercise called exercise-induced asthma. The average allergic rhinitis patient is symptomatic for 5 months a year and 62 percent of patients report they are bothered a "great deal" by their symptoms. This obviously restricts people from everyday activities and results in many work and school days lost. Total sales for medications, both over the counter and prescription, is^asily over 2 billion a year. There is no magic allergy antidote but an allergic patient has basically three choices for gaining some relief. The first is to avoid the Tai Chi Glasses to begin April 12 On Tuesday, April 12, a new beginning level Tai Chi Chuan class will be starting at CSUSM. The class will be held in ACD 104 from 12 Noon to 1 PM, and will run for six weeks, from April 12 to May 17. The class is open to everyone, and the cost is $30 for the six-week session. Regina Gill, shown at the right, a very experienced instructor, has o ffered this class at this exceptionally low price. Tai Chi Chuan is both exercise and meditation/relaxation. It is one of the best methods available for stress reduction, and requires no special clothing, only comfortable shoes. To register for the class, sign up at Student Health Services, respond to me personally by E-mail, or enroll at the door on Tuesday April 12. See you there. offending allergen. This is usually fairly difficult but there are steps one can take to reduce allergens especially in your home. For specifics see your health care provider f or 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 nasal decongestant sprays, especially since they have adverse long-term effects. Be careful even of over-the-counter antihistamines because most of these will have some sedating effect. Studies have demonstrated that they have similar effects to alcohol in impairing ones ability to drive. Know when to give up on self-treatment. When allergies continue to interfere with your life, sleep, and work or you develop secondary infectious complications see your health care provider. A number of 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 the last resort if symptoms can not be adequately controlled by environmental avoidance and tolerated medications. If you have any questions or concerns contact your health care provider or call Student Health Services at 752-4915.

Mary Szterpakiewicz Editor-in-Chief Lexis/Nexis once again has become the subject of recent controversy. According to Gabriela Sonntag, Reference/Instruction Librarian, Lexis/Nexis is unavailable at the CSUSM library between the hours of 11 AM and 2 PM. Such was the case on the afternoon of March 8. On that Friday afternoon, several students were witness to an incident at a Lexis/ Nexis terminal in the CSUSM library. Library Information Assistants routinely walk around the computer islands offering assistance and answering questions. When history faculty member Patty Seleski sat down at a Lexis terminal, several individuals observed her frustration when the Lexis/Nexis terminal would not connect with the service. Seleski proceeded to hit the keyboard and expressed herself in a loud manner. Renee, one of the Information Assistants rushed to o ffer assistance and was met with " I'm not a student here, I 'm a faculty m ember... this is no way to run a library . . . this is no way to treat faculty." Seleski turned around, paused and added "and students." The Information Assistant attempted to explain to Seleski that CSUSM library access to the Lexis/Nexis system is routinely denied from 11 AM to 2 PM. According to Sonntag, Mead Data provides Lexis/Nexis service to educational institutions at a discounted rate. For this reason, on-line priority is given to businesses who pay the full rate to use the service, particularly during peak hours. Thus, Lexis/Nexis is not available to the CSUSM library terminals during those times. An exception may occur if you sign on to Lexis/Nexis before 11 AM— some have experienced no interruption of on-line service. Signs are visibly posted above each terminal stating these downtime periods. Seleski said she knew why it was down, but continued to complain. The Information Assistant suggested that Seleski speak with a librarian. Seleski replied "I know where to find the librarian" and continued to disrupt others in the library. "This is supposed to be a research institution," Seleski said, adding, "You should have a back-up." The Information Assistant then left to help a student at another computer terminal but later returned with librarian Stephanie Weiner. Weiner attempted to explain why Lexis/Nexis was down, but Seleski loudly and repeatedly said, "Get away from me!" One onlooker noted, "When the terminal d idn't work, she [Seleski] threw a temper tantrum, like a little kid. You would think that a faculty member would know how to channel their frustration in more construc- tive ways. If she wants priority access, she can pay for it." According to Sonntag, Lexis/Nexis service is available to faculty and staff through their personal computer terminals upon request. CSUSM's First Cougar Fun Run Amy Cubbison Contributing Writer In place of a much-dreaded final paper Dr. Betsy R eed's exercise physiology class is planning and promoting a 5K fun run at CSUSM. The professor suggested it and the students were quick to respond, as you might imagine. The Fun Run is not only a run, entrants can also walk. The distance is a 5K which is 3.1 miles. There is no time constraint and there will be three hours to complete the race. The reason for the Fun Run is jto promote physical activity while raising money for future exercise facilities such as a volleyball court. If you are interested in entering the 5K, registration forms will be available on campus shortly. Along with the form there will be a helpful guide on how to train for non athletes . The entry fee is only $3 for students and $5 for other interested individuals. The race will take place on May 6, 1994 in the CSUSM parking lot. Late registration will begin at 8 AM and the actual race at 9 AM. The race will go on until 12 Noon. Following the race there will be refreshments and a r affle with some terrific prices. There will also be complimentary body fat analysis and blood pressure screening. Results of the tests are private and for the persons own benefit. All of the students in exercise physiology are extremely enthusiastic about being part of CSUSM's first annual 5K Cougar Fun Run, so please exhibit some school spirit and join in on the fun. It will be history in the making! Not only will entering the race be a great incentive to get in shape for summer, but it will help CSUSM get established and respected in the San Marcos area.

PUBLIC SAFETY NEWS Dave Ross Public Safety Officer W ELCOME BACK We hope that everyone had a great and safe spring break. Not too miich longer till graduation! P OLICE B IKES This summer you will see CSUSM Police Officers riding bicycles on patrol. We just finished an excellent three day class at UCSD. The class covered patrol procedures, bike safety, the advantage of officers on bikes, and many more subjects. I didn't know there was so much to know about riding a bicycle. The bike program will give the officers more opportunity to get much closer to the students and staff. The bikes will also allow us to better monitor the parking lots and campus area, creating a safer environment for everyone. B UCKLE U P As I drive around town and the campus I see many people not wearing their safety belts, when they drive or are passengers. Did you know that in 1992 safety belts saved 5,226 lives and prevented about 136,000 moderate-to-critical injuries. From 1983 to 1992, it is estimated that safety belts saved 34,794 lives.

In conjunction with National Women's History Month, Deborah Small's advanced computer art class first researched eight women who played an important role in San Diego's history. Then they created large-scale, computer-generated art based on the accomplishments of these notable women. The works will be on exhibit at various locations on the campus till May 21. The eight women whose lives are featured in the exhibit are: Kate Sessions, botanist; Ellen Browning Scripps, publisher and philanthropist; Delfina Cuero, herbalist; Katherine Tingley, theosophist; Mary Chase Walker, San Diego's first school teacher; Belle Benchley, wildlife advocate and zoo director; Dona Juana Machado, early resident born at the Presidio in 1814 and oral historian; and Califia, legendary black Amazon queen who inspired the naming of California. The CSUSM students who created the artwork are: Katherine Johnson, Jeri Kalvin, Linda Kallas, Erika Kent, Kelly Mundell, Diana Mcintosh, Yvonne Ramsey, Genevieve Venegas, Norman Manes, and Jenny Jackson. So take some time to see and admire these interesting exhibits around campus. RIGHT: Katherine Johnson's project honoring Kate Sessions.

Vazquez Guest Editorial There has been a great deal of discussion regarding the actual cost illegals represent to the State of California. Many politicians, such as Mickey Conroy in an editorial published March 11 mThe Pride, suggest that the reason for our current increase in tuition fees has been directly related to the enrollment of illegal immigrants in our universities. He blames the illegals for the continuous rise in tuition fees and the decline of available classes in the CSU system. According to Conroy, there are at least 700 undocumented students attending in four of the 21 universities in the CSU system. But, let's presume for a moment that he is correct. 700 Students is insignificant compared to some 400,000 students in the CSU system. It represents. 17 percent, less than two-tenths of a percent. One can only wonder where he got this information? What kind of study was done? Which universities is Conroy referring to? What determines illegal status and so on? Last week, I telephoned Conroy's office to check on this information. After being transferred three times, I was told someone would get back to me. To this day, I am still waiting. Conroy gives no proof and therefore, has n a basis for arguing that illegals are depleting resources from our schools. When I spoke with Kathleen Fannella, Assistant Director of Admissions and Records on campus, she replied, "We have no way of knowing who is undocumented." The statements made by Conroy are misleading. They imply that illegals are exhausting and abusing our educational resources. These students are paying; therefore, they are supporting rather than exhausting the educational system. They do not cause a burden to anyone, nor to the state. Since they reside in the state, they become taxpayers by being consumers, employees, and students. It is precisely because of this reason that the CSU system's current policy abides by the Leticia A court order, which classifies eligible undocumented students as state residents for tuition purposes. As members of working and tax-paying families, they can enroll and pay state tuition fees rather than out-of-state tuition. Assemblyman Conroy's bill, AB 1801, would deny students access to higher education based on legal status. It would create obstacles to an education by charging out-of-state tuition fees to undocumented residents. Denying education to immigrants would not benefit anyone; rather, it would hurt society. Colleen BentlyAdler from the office of the chancellor for CSU stated that "these students should be treated fairly," adding "our office and the Board of Trustees support the fact that these students should be eligible for higher education, and they should pay in-state tuition fees." Bentley-Adler noted, "we certainly do not look at these students as criminals." What Assemblyman Conroy is doing is diverting the issue of California's economic crisis by attacking and accusing the undocumented; he is using them as scapegoats. Because they have no voice or vote in this issue, they have no way to defend themselves. Insinuations against illegal immigrants contribute to perpetuate the already worsened image of immigrants in the state. Conroy also perpetuates institutionalized racism by denying education to immigrants. Conroy creates bad sentiments in general by referring to the undocumented immigrants as "illegal aliens" and as "criminals." These remarks are offensive, derogatory and completely irresponsible, especially coming from a public official. Conroy's allegations are simplistic and undermine our intelligence. He is giving us a fourth grade interpretation of a complex issue. Does he really think students are going to accept his racist views without question? How can he expect to gain student support by treating us as elementary school students? l &ttif^ >,tolit:he Editor s Health Services offers more than just medicine Dear Editor: This letter is a very belated thank you to everyone in Health Services. Last semester I was victim of the flu, pneumonia and a few other invading microbes. As a result 1 had to visit Health Services several times and needed lots of TLC, which was freely given by the entire staff. Both Dr. Grinolds and Nurse Practitioner Judith Weiss-Zinger took their time to examine thoroughly my physical condition and listen to my physical complaints. I appreciate the careful attention I received and wish that all my experiences with medical staff had been as positive as mine have been here at CSUSM. Thank you again. _, A AmyParsloe In Defense of the Lounge Dear Editor: The recent addition of a pool table and a few video games to the student lounge has caused quite an uproar—two letters to the editor in the last issue of The Pride were dedicated to bashing this unthinkable invasion of academic integrity. With such limited space and a limited budget, the argument goes, why are we wasting valuable resources on mind-numbing entertainment? This is an understandable position, one that deserves a well thought-out, keenly-argued empirical retort—LOOSEN UP!! I like to play pool. Obviously, I also like to acquire knowledge and engage in intellectual discovery. That is the primary preoccupation of all college students and the sole purpose for the existence of our fine university. But I honestly do not believe that Employee/Students Pay Fees anyone's academic careers will be the least Dear Editor: bit threatened by allowing actual lounging in The nonsequitur arguments presented the student lounge.

Weir Thomas Lee Huntington �Nadinne Cruz to speak on community service CHILDCARE continued from Page 1 administrators continue to alert the community about the need f or funding of this project. President Stacy met with the Associated Students at their retreat and told them that the development of this facility continues to be a priority at the university. While a daycare center at C SUSM would be convenient f or students, it would also provide affordable childcare. A sliding scale could help lower-income students manage the cost associated with childcare. Kuchler also noted that perhaps the university f aculty and staff could use the facility at a slightly higher rate, which would help the center offset costs. Kuchler also noted that with the permission of the Associated Students, the center could serve an academic purpose. CSUSM's psychology department has indicated an interest in creating a program that would allow students to observe the children and incorporate the center into an internship program. The facility could then serve both as a valuable service f or parents, and as a hands-on learning experience for students. However, the progress made by Lowder could be slowed when she leaves CSUSM this semester. As much as this facility is needed at the campus, Kuchler noted that another student or students will need to come forward tocontinueLowder'sefforts. Lowder said, " I have stirred up the embers. Now, I hope someone will come along to keep them going."

P^^^SSBB^b — # SAN MARCOS PRESENTS On April 20, 1994, Dr. Nadinne Cruz, a leader in multiculturalism and service-learning will speak at CSUSM. The Service-Learning Initiative will host the following events: 10-11 AM Open Session CRA 6201 12-1:30 PM Community Service ACD 315, Diversity & Social Change 2:30-4 PM Open session CRA 1201 The open sessions are for administrators, faculty, staff, and students wishing to join in topical discussions involving how service relates to issues of diversity (topics to be announced). Dr. Nadinne Cruz will also speak to the diversity of the CSUSM servicelearning goals. The following information is an introduction to the topics and areas where she has highly influenced the field of experiential education and service-learning by her innovative ideas. A Filipina-American educator, Dr. Cruz was 1992-1993 Lang Visiting Professor of Social Change at S warthmore College where she piloted a Democratic Practice Project course in the political science department. The course emphasizes multicultural and community-based perspectives on "The Politics of Social Responsibility and Public Service." In this course, "community involvement" cuts both ways: students are involved in community service; community people are involved with teaching by modeling options for exercising social responsibility and contributing to the public good. As Executive Director of HECUA (Higher Education Consortium for Urban Affairs, St. Paul), Dr. Cruz developed for the 18 member colleges several community-based programs located in Latin America, Scandinavia, San Francisco, and Minneapolis-St. Paul. The programs model ways in which faculty and student relationships with and in various communities form the critical core of teaching "materials." The 22-year old consortium has demonstrated a cost-effective option for supporting faculty in sustained innovations and cutting-edge practice in community-based teaching. Nadinne Cruz also provides workshops on multiculturalism and community-based teaching for college faculty, students and community groups. In the l ast two years, these have involved, among others: Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities Faculty Development Network; St. Olaf College faculty; board and staff members of the foundation, Headwaters Fund and of Fresh Air Public Radio; students at S warthmore College; faculty and administrators from fifteen different institutions of higher education who participated in the 1993 Campus Compact Institute; and 1993-1994 grantees of the Corporation of National and Community Service. She will also be a keynote speaker at a Western Regional Campus Compact Institute to be held at the University of San Diego on July 7-9, 1994. In addition, Dr. Cruz is cofounder of the Philippine Study Group of Minnesota Foundation and t he P hilippines-Minnesota Grassroots Linkages Project. She is on the Board of Colors, a Minnesota journal of opinion by writers of color. The lecture and visit to CSUSM by Dr. Cruz is funded through the CSUSM ServiceLearning grant from the Corporation on National and Community Service. Students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community leaders are invited to attend. ? EVERY T HURSDAY f 8 TO CLOSE . COLLEGE N H GT .

A Howard film could always be counted upon to provide relatively guiltless, feel-good, populist entertainment that left your head the minute you left the theatre. There is nothing wrong with that, of course; welldone schtick can be just as valuable and timeless as high film art (see Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, When Harry Met Sally, Star Wars or any Frank Capra movie). Recent Howard films, though (specifically Backdraft and Far and Away) seemed soulless, all special effects, emotional scores and big movie star smiles—two hour music videos advertising the glamour of Hollywood. The Paper, Howard's new behind the scenes look at a New York tabloid, cleanly breaks that little losing streak. Certainly, it is a fast-paced, well-produced commercial crowdpleaser and it claims to be nothing more. But it also has grit — sloppy edges and ambiguity and antiheroes and moral dilemmas. But not moral dilemmas that stand in the way of expediency or plot development—this is no Schindler's List. Rather it is an unusually well-written, well-acted, hugely entertaining dramatic comedy. And there's nothing wrong with that. Indeed, one could argue that a film like The Paper is harder to make than some high-minded, three-hour historical epic. But that is a fruitless argument, and there's no need to compare artistic apples and oranges here. Suffice to say that Howard in The Paper, despite severaldangerous moments of near-cliche, pulls off a rare achievement: tightly paced, quick-witted controlled chaos. He is helped immeasurably towards that end by a fine ensemble cast including Michael Keaton, Robert Duvall, Marisa Tomei, Randy Quaid and Glenn Close. Duvall is especially (and characteristically) fine as the hard-edged editor-in-chief with "a prostate the size of a bagel." Keaton delivers the finest performance of his previously undistinguished acting career and Tomei proves herself worthy of the sudden fame that has followed here since her Academy Award for My Cousin Vinnie. Close and Quaid tend to ham it up a bit but usually provide the appropriate level of comic relief. The Paper is at its best when it stays in the chaotic, insane newsroom; the pace slackens a bit during the obligatory family trouble subplots. Fortunately, though, Howard always brings it back to the frantic search for the story. The glee in Keaton's voice as he tells off the editor of an uptown, New York Times—like newspaper is the best advertisement for adrenaline pumping, down and dirty journalism since All the President's Men. Keaton rushes home to his pregnant wife at the end of the movie and curses his journalistic obsession. But this is just conventional audience b aitingit's obvious that the film's heart is buried deep inside,the Metro section, and that's why it all succeeds so well. 66 An Independent Female OR a Man Has His Pride *' Yareli Arizmendi Faculty, Visual and Performing Arts As its Spring 1994 theater production, The San Marcos Players (CSU San Marcos) is currently producing An Independent Female or a Man Has His Pride. In the old tradition of traveling troupes and the revived 60's tradition of "street" and "agit-prop" theater, An Independent Female.. . takes a closer look at the relationship between love, power and economic dependence. Written by The San Francisco Mime Troupe, biting satire and intelligent humor combine with a highly melodramatic acting style—in the "who will save me now" tradition—to deliver an entertaining and thought-provoking theatrical event. As a prelude to An Independent Female. . . ,The San Marcos Players present "The Difference Between Men and Women," a piece written by Michelle Lewellen (CSUSM student). This scene offers the insightful discussion of two eight-year old girls on the subject of men and women. The group will be performing on April 18 at the CSUSM Dome at 12 Noon; April 23 at the Oceanside Day of Art Festival; April 29 at CSUSM in conjunction with "Bring Our Daughters to Work"; May 3 at Palomar College (Music Court, 2 PM); and May 12 at CSUSM as part of teh Annual Arts Festival. For more information, contact Yareli Arizmendi at 752-4149. iil fpjjtf ' ••ft 1 c Dryve, a new musical group, comes to CSUSM Wednesday, April 20. They will be performing in front of The Dome at 12 Noon. The group had a humble beginning, knowing only one song and playing it at any coffee shop that would have them. Cory Verner and Paul Donovan, who started Dryve, are the band's primary songwriters. Within the last year, they were joined by Steve Pratchner and Kieth Sansone. Recently, they added accordian, violin, and tin whistle to their musical ensemble. Their set is diverse, pulling from American roots—country, bluegrass, and rockabilly with a common thread running throughout that is distinctly Dryve. �More to Do in San Diego County San Marcos Celebrates "Day of the Family" liiiilill THEATER AND CONCERT TICKETS offers classes for windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, Half-Price tickets to tonight's performances rowing, surfing, water skiing, and scuba diving, of theater, ballet, symphony and other events. at very competitive prices.

Northern Indian Classical Music Comes to CSUSM As part of its Arts & Lectures Series, CSUSM is sponsoring a concert of Northern Indian classical music on April 17 at 3 PM in Academic Hall, Room 102. The concert features Kartik Seshadri on the sitar and Abhiman Kaushal on the tabla (a pair of small, different-sized hand-drums used in Indian music). Kartik Seshadri's first musical inspiration was listening to Pandit Ravi Shankar. Kartik made his concert debut as a sitarist at the age of six and was nationally recognized as a prodigy. Kartik first met and received Panditji's blessings in 1965 and formally became his disciple in 1975. In the past year, Kartik accompanied Pandit Ravi Shankar in major concert halls and festivals in India, Israel, Europe, Mexico, Middle East, and the United States, including Carnegie Hall. Kartik will be accompanied on tabla by Abhiman Kaushal. Abhiman comes from a musical family. His father is a tabla artist, and his mother is a dancer and teacher of Bharat Natyam, Kachupudi and Odissi style. He is currently studying under Pandit Ravi Shankar and frequently accompanies professional vocalists and instrumentalists all over India. Admission is $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the University's bookstore during normal business hours or by calling 7524730. Tickets may be purchased at the door one-half hour before the performance, unless it is sold out. For further information, call the Arts and Lectures Office at 752-4945.

Richard Harvey, fraternity member and head of this big-brother-type program, says eligible teens "don't have to be gang bangers from San Marcos or Vista. They can be a surfer from Del Mar with poor study habits." Once a week, Sigma Phi Delta members will take troubled boys to the movies, teach them computer skills, and help them with their homework. The goal of the program is to provide positive role models for teens who need special guidance. Harvey says he can relate to misguided teenagers. Although he says he has never been in trouble with the law, he has "done dumb things like drop out of high school." Sigma Phi Delta wants to show young boys that anyone can succeed. Not all troubled boys are eligible for the "Brothers For Life " program. The fraternity will not accept any apathetic teens. Harvey said ' They must, be motivated. They will be screened and evaluated for their potential and desire to succeed." For more information about this program call Richard Harvey at 259-1533.

The actors sphere in which students (can prepare to live) on this stage of performing civil-social in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity." Contributing Writer D ISPLAY A DVERTISING 3. "The University. . .encourages students to examine moral and ethical issues central to their development as responsible men and women." 4. "Students.. .seek to understand human behavior, culture, values, and institutions." The University bears the responsibility of living up to its own standards. Perhaps an examination is in order. How well does the University meet the challenge of survival in today's social crisis? Here are 10 social issues to consider: (1) Measure performance in light of a new book, The Fall of the Ivory Tower: Government Funding, Corruption, and the Bankrupting ofAmerican Higher Education, by Hillsdale College president George Roche. (2) Crime statistics show violent felonies peak at 15 to 19, ages when students are considering college. Even with education, a violent person becomes only an educated vilent person, unless that person changes. (3) Our country has the highest violent crime rate in the world. Is training available to deter the conscience at the university level? (4) Judeo-Christian ethics were the basis upon which our country was built. Students of morality are essential to social survival; fundamental changes leading to high moral character, a goal of the Mission Statement. (5) Courses contributing to the solution and not the problem. Stemming the drift toward immorality and moral relativism. (6) Learning responsibility, facing consequences. Warnings against substance abuse. (7) Back to basics—objective truth for social reform to replace opinion, perception, credibility and contemporary culture. (8) Emphasis on public standards of virtue, objective morality, moral judgment. The loss of moral truth leads to tyranny. (9) Civil rights and the free exercise of what people believe should not prevent religious civil liberties. (10) A critical review of secular humanism, suspect as a "religion" with overtones of immediate gratification leading to neo-paganism. A final word of caution in observing and considering our impending headlong social collapse. History is known to repeat itself. Remember Rome, a onertime dominating power of the world. What happened to it? The Roman Empire declined and fell because of immorality and excessive governmental bureaucracy. Is there a lesson in this to challenge us to do something for survival? Dr. Davis is Professor Emeritus of Finance and Industry, retired from Cat State Fresno, serving as a volunteer pro tern advisor of students in the SALT Society, a Club affiliated with Inter-Varsity Christian fellowship.

Youths were recognized for their volunteer and leadership efforts to make North County a better place. The President's Youth Service Awards were created by the White House Office of National Service and the Corporation of National and Community Service. Because of CSUSM's commitment to community service, the University was authorized to assist in identifying those young people whose volunteer efforts are a model for all. Each year CSUSM honors young people, ages 5-22, with the President's Awards or the National Award to recognize meaningful service to the community. The awards, presented by Provost Richard Millman, were in four age categories: 5-8 years, 9-13 years, 14-17 years, and 1822 years. The awards were designed to recognize voluntary, non-paid, community service and to recognize hands-on service. Criteria used—exemplary achievement, ongoing involvement, community need, and building a service ethic. The National Awards honor students who demonstrate meaningful community service accomplished at a level slightly less exacting than the President's Award. Recipients receive a sculpted pin which carries the Great Seal of the United States along with a handsomely designed certificate that is signed by President Clinton. ^n^^SSMU Interest V t p i t o Poster P Staff Writer f l f i W g f, ; Friday, April 22,1994 M $ CSUSM will draw international acaof : A4pies~ offers summer wbric-: a n i i i i a t : - o nN r 4h-Sjpani$h for Y&un^ Readers in j November.

Fourth graders take first step to college CSUSM will hold its first "I'm Going to College" day on April 29. 160 Fourth graders from Palomar Elementary School will get a sample of what college life is like on the CSUSM campus. By simulating the first day at the university, the program seeks to increase the number of low-income and minority students going to college. Studies show a need to begin preparing and encouraging students at an early age, particularly students whose parents never attended college.

However, you may not be aware of the major funding problems for Student Health Services within the CSU system that have occurred in the past few years. There have been drastic reductions in funding and a few of the larger health services were very close to having to cease operations. The Student Health Advisory Board has asked that I write an article to discuss the history of the funding problems and how other campuses have moved to alleviate the problem. The vast majority of campuses have instituted a mandatory Health Services Fee. This fee should not be confused with the $3 Health FacilitiesFeealreadyinplace. The Health Facilities Fee does not contribute to ongoing operations of the Student Health Service. This f ee is controlled by the Chancellor's Office can only be used for building or renovation of CSU Health Services. Actually, 17 of the 20 campuses have a mandatory Health Fee ranging from $20 to $59 per semester in 1993/94. This fee accounts for 40% to 100% of the funding for Student Health Services throughout the system. This mandatory fee allows for at least basic services to be continued at all the campuses and at some it allows for augmented or special services to be performed at no additional charge. Itisalsoofinteresttonotethat throughout the country, Health Services Fees are at a much higher level. A recent survey revealed an average fee of $84 per semester. Here at CSUSM we have been fortunate that even in the face of decreasing budget throughout the system, the University has continued to grow. The planners also were able to anticipate a need for Student Health Services and provided funding for space, equipment, and the initial staff to provide services. The result is, I believe, a very nice facility appropriately equipped and providing high quality primary care and preventive health services. Likewise, we continue to provide and develop campus-wide health education including a Peer Health Education program. At this time, the funding projection for CSUSM Student Health Services for 1994/ 95 will be at the same level as 1993/94. In order to provide the same level of service as well as to continue expanding services, a mandatory Student Health Fee is necessary. The Student Health Advisory Board has endorsed the concept of this fee, Theywantthe general student population to be informed. An open forum on this matter will be held on Tuesday, May 3rd from 3 PM to 4:30 PM in ACD305. Student Health Services has received consistent praise for its programs and services by students. Student Health Services exists to provide high quality primary care and preventive services and encourages high level student involvement in those services. We encourage you to become familiar with Student Health Services and utilize the services you are funding.

Notes On Saturday, April 16,theStudentHealth Advisory Board volunteers participated in the International Day of the Family at Walnut Grove Park in San Marcos. They sponsored a food and nutrition booth. The volunteers estimated that they made over 200 healthy low-fat chicken and vegetarian fajitas, and sold 250 juice snow cones. Also, they gave out free brochures and information about healthy nutrition and reducing dietary cholesterol. The all-day event drew a crowd of over 4000 people, and had over 50 programs distributing information on community services. There were numerous arts and crafts and children's activity booths, as well as youth musical and dramatic performances. This free annual event was sponsored by the San Marcos Family Care Commission.

For f urther i nformation, contact Claire Most people d on't realize how lucky we are to live in the age where counting fat grams corresponds with the explosion of fatfree products available today. Back in my mother's day being on a diet consisted of boring and bland foods such as melba toast, cottage cheese, and celery-YUCK! I am a connoisseur of fat-free foods that tantalize the taste buds. I am forever searching for a new exciting product that I can promote to my friends. Of all the products I have tried, certain ones stand out above the rest and I would like to pass this information on to you. Here is a little backround . . . A person's diet should consist of about 20-30 grams of fat per day and not any more. The logic behind watching fat grams is that gram for gram, fat has more calories than protein or carbohydrates. A gram of fat is 9 calories while a gram of carbohydrates is just 4 calories. This definitely makes a difference when you add up the calories. The bottom line is to consume the equivalent or less than the calories expended. Since carbohydrates are lower in calories, they help to keep caloric count down. The body stores carbohydrates in the muscles for up to 36 hours so they don't have to be utilized immediately. Finally, another fact in favor of carbohydrates is that it takes 32 steps for the body to turn carbohydrates into fat whereas fat is only three small steps to the thighs. One word of caution when you begin the journey into fat-free heaven—watch out for consuming too many empty calories. Some foods are low in fat and high in nutrients whereas other foods are low in fat and void of nutrients. These empty-calorie foods make great alternatives for high-fat snacks and desserts but should not be a part of a daily diet. So here it goes...My favorite yogurt is made by Yoplait Light. It is only 90 calories a serving and is so creamy that you feel guilty. Some of the betterflavorsare tropical banana and apricot mango. Yoplait also makes a crunch light which has fun toppings like granola. As far as snacks go, if you haven't tried Louis' baked tortilla or potato chips you will be in for a nice surprise. They come in many flavors like ranch or barbecue. Be careful because you can't stop at just one. Pretzels have always been low or fat free and Harry's sourdough are spectacular! Often oil-free salad dressings don't do much to liven up lettuce, but I found two that do. Bernstein's makes a line of 98 percent fat free salad dressings that are packed with pizazz. Try the Parmesan Ranch. S&W Vintage Light blush wine vinaigrette is light and tangy and tastes homemade. For the sweet tooth in all of us, Antenna's Double Fat Free Fudge Brownies are soooo delicious! These would cure any chocolate craving. Snack Well's lowfat cookie assortments are also good. My favorite are the new double fudge. Don't forget to try Nabisco's fat free Fig Newton that also comes in fruit flavors such as cranberry. It was difficult limiting some of my favorite fat-free products but it is a start. I hope the items mentioned pave the path to healthier eating. Afinalword of caution—always look at the fat and calorie count in regards to serving size. Often times, manufacturers like to suggest false claims. The USDA is working on new regulations for labeling so that the serving size and claims will be realistic and resemble the truth.

Ivalee Clark Director Support Services To promote the awareness of the recycling program, the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee, together with Mashburn Waste and Recycling Services, sponsored a "Dumpster Dive," more formally known as a waste characterization, on March 10. Even though CSUSM has an aggressive recycling program in place, the "dive" was held to see how CSUSM's model university recycling program is working and to possibly identify additional items which can be diverted from going to the landfill. Approximately 50 participants gathered for pizza and cokes prior to sorting through the trash. The group was divided into teams of three.. two sorted and one wrote down items being found in the trash. Containers for recovered recyclables were available along with trash cans to categorize the actual waste products. When the sorting was completed, the categorized materials were weighed. Here is what we found: RECYCLABLE MATERIAL LBS.

That is why most men dread it —George Bernard Shaw Cliche in the Classroom Thomas Lee Huntington Staff Writer The Vista Unified School District has garnered nationwide publicity, first for requiring a discussion of creationism in science classrooms that teach evolution, and now for supporting the controversial Sex Respect curriculum. Sex Respect is a program where students in health classes are taught the Value of abstinence and the dangers of premarital sex. Slogans such as "Do the right thing, wait for thering,""Pet your dog, not your date," and "Control your urging, be a virgin" are the educational cornerstones of the Sex Respect policy. Condoms or other forms of birth control are downplayed as dangerous and not worth discussing. Deidre Holliday, theringleaderof the group of three conservative Christians (including Gregy Tyndall and Joyce Lee) that makes up the majority of the board, has been viciously attacked in the local press and a recall effort is underway to remove all three from the board in a November vote. The Vista Teachers Union, though reticent to jump into the fray, recently voted overwhelmingly to support the recall. Signatures are being collected, and it should soon be clear whether or not the issue will go before a public vote. What in the world has happened to the sleepy, retirement community of Vista? Long renowned for a fine public school system that consistently produced high AP pass and college acceptance rates, the Vista Unified School District has suddenly become a nationwide symbol of religious political activism that blurs the separation between church and state. A recall effort will be costly andrisky,but it is undeniably necessary to preserve not only the national reputation of the Vista School District but also the future of Vista's children. Holliday was elected in 1990 in what many have characterized as a "stealth" campaign that focused on area churches and religious gatherings and eschewed traditional candidate forums. At the time of her election, I was a Vista High senior and Editor of the school paper and had the opportunity Letters to the Editor Conroy's Comments on Illegals Refreshing Dear Editor: Thanksforrunning the letter from Assemblyman Mickey Conroy about his bill to prevent illegal aliens from enrolling in state universities and colleges. This was a refreshing change in news coming from CSUSM recently. The problem of illegal aliens is severe. Some facts: • According to a recent report by SDSU professors for State Seantor Bill Craven, illegals cost county taxpayers a net of $244 million yearly for courts, schools, welfare and other benefits. Craven is to be commended for issuing this report. • Illegals are the fastest growing segment of state and federal prisoners. • It costs state taxpayers over $600 million to educate illegals each year; Mountain Empire schools were recently found by the state auditor to have fraudulently enrolled hundreds of Mexican nationals. • Illegals yearly receive over $800million in fraudulent medical payments, according to a report from the County MediCal Fraud task force; yet Americans are turned away. Our nation must defend its borders, it it is to remain a sovereign nation. Ralph W. Ballmer, MSEE San Jose State Univ. Questions Witnesses to "Conduct" Dear Editor: In regards to your article, "Conduct Unbecoming a Faculty Member... or anyone to interview Holliday. Though little was known of her at the time, there were intense murmuring about her Christian leanings. I found her to be extremely polite and thoughtful, answering questions with articulate, intelligent responses. She insisted that she wanted only to leave sex education up to individual families, and to confine schools to teaching educational basics. She did nothing to hide her Christian faith. I had the impression that Mrs. Holliday was not a religious radical but a passionate, moderate citizen. I was wrong. The actions of the school board in the past 4 years indicate beyond a shadow of a doubt that beneath that gentle facade lurks an unavowed enemy of public education with no respect for cultural diversity, the scientific community, the professional judgment of hard-working teachers, or the Constitution. Contrary to Holliday's stated aim of leaving moral education up to individual families, the board has engaged in exactly the kind of cultural arrogance and narrowminded hypocrisy that it should be the aim of any decent liberal education to abolish. The logic behind the Sex Respect policy is even more dangerous. At a time when teen pregnancy and the fatal threat of AIDS make irresponsible attitudes towards sexual activity potentially deadly, it is preposterous to cloak a discussion about teenage sexuality in this kind of simpleminded, cliched moralism. Students need straight answers and clearheaded advice, not preaching and condescension. Abstinence should certainly be presented as the only sure way to avoid AIDS or pregnancy, but it is morally repugnant to avoid a detailed discussion of methods of birth control at a time when the propert use of a condom could very easily mean the difference between life and death. This is not to say that Holliday and her hit squad are not well-intentioned. But the Vista School Board has unfortunately chosen the tools of exclusion, religious bigotry and fear. The citizens of Vista should spare no time nor expense at putting an immediate stop to this illegal, immoral and unethical political escapade. Nothing less than the future of our children depends upon it. else," I question how many people were witness to this occurrence. I also wonder whose decision it was to print Dr. Seleski's name, and was there any effort contacting Dr. Seleski before publication to confirm the story? Though I do not condone rude behavior on the part of faculty, staff and students, I question the adversarial tone of the article. For example, "Seleski said she knew why it (Lexis/Nexis) was down, but continued to complain." This statement is vague and lends no information to the article other than to slander Dr. Seleski. If I, a casual reader, can pick out the bias in this article, what would the average San Marcos citizen think of this university. I hope you take this into consideration when you publish other critical articles about faculty, staff and students. Gwenn Young lecture. Another time, in a different class, a student basically told the teacher to get on with the lecture. Firstly, these comments are not only uncalled for, but reflect badly on the student body. A student who has yet to achieve a bachelor's degree has a lot of nerve commenting on the performance of a person who has obtained Ph.D. caliber. Secondly, these comments create an embarrassing atmosphere in class. These teachers have to "suck it up" in the interest of professionalism, but it obviously hurts their feelings. Not only that, but the more considerate students feel the need to apologize for the rude behavior of these people.

CSUSM will host its second annual Multicultural Student Leadership Conference, "Leadership: Making It Happen," on Saturday, April 30, on the CSUSM campus, 8:30 AM to 3 PM. j "If we are to have the type of leadership which we need for the 21 st century, we must begin preparing those leaders today," notes Dr. Richard Millman, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at CSUSM. "It is for that reason we continue to sponsor a conference which promotes student excellence through developing leadership skills." Minority students have nearly closed the gap with their white counterparts in earning high school diplomas. However, college graduation rates have remained inordinately low for students of color, according to the American Council on Education's status report on minorities in higher education. The conference will bring together ISOstudent leaders fromNorth County's ^ under-represented groups to participate in a series ofmotivational and developmental workshops. The conference is designed to develop and enhance their leadership skills and to expose the students to minority leaders from the community. Maria Velasquez, KFMB (Channel 8) TV personality, will be this year's keynote speaker, The Multicultural Student Leadership Conference workshops will be presented by community leaders from various professions addressing such topics as "What Makes aLeader, How do Leaders Communicate, What Are the Responsibilities of Leadership, and Your Dream is Possible." Workshop presenters will inelude: Minerva Gonzalez, Director of Financial Aid, Palomar College; and Terry Johnson, Deputy Mayor, City of Oceanside. The conference is free and open to all under-represented high school students.

Set in the plains and cities of Argentina, La Perla is a tale of memory and yearning that unfolds with seductive energy. At the center of La Perla is a search for family, a search for history, and a search for love: searches that reveal not only truths of the heart but also truths about the land that is Argentina. La Perla was inspired by the actor's return to his homeland after a 20-year absence. Ravetto's return to Argentina began as a quest to learn more about an aunt that he never knew; but while there, he encountered both the truths of love and the loss that continue to haunt his own family and the pain of memory and silence that continues to haunt the politics of contemporary Argentina. From these experiences, Ravetto and co-author Cheyney Ryan, fashioned a complex and enigmatic tale that speaks to the experience of us all. La Perla will be performed on Friday, April 22 at 7 PM in ACD 102. Tickets are $3 for CSUSM students and $5 for general admission. Tickets may be purchased at the University Store, by phone (752-4730), or at the door one-half hour before the performance (unless it is sold out).

The photographs of local and visiting jazz musicians were taken during performances in San Diego. Mr. Rudee, who served on the San Diego Jazz Festival's board of directors, took some of the photos in night clubs, but most were taken at performances of either the SD Jazz Festival or the Jazz Society of Lower California. Rudee stated that, "Photography and jazz have artistic elements in common. Of all musical forms, jazz places the highest emphasis on instantaneous, intuitive improvisation. The term 'instrument of intuition', which has been used to describe the camera could just as well apply to the jazz soloist. The exhibit is located in the university library, on the third floor of Craven Hall. Please join the Library Arts Committee at a reception for the opening of Rudee's show . Jazz musicians Gunnar Biggs, John Harris and Bob Boss will play jazz in the library's courtyard on Friday, April 22 from 3:15 to 3:45 PM. The reception is from 3-4:30. The 25-photo exhibit celebrates local and visiting jazz musicians. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours: Mon.-Thur. 8 AM to 9 PM, Fri. 8AM to 4 PM, and Sat. 10AM to 4PM. For more information, call Marge Hohenberger 752-4350.

Cafe Amore—French vanilla ice cream topped with hot espresso, chocolate syrup, j whipped cream dusted with amaretto cookies, is one of Sandra's favorites. Artista also offers a unique variety of sandwiches made on fresh-baked croissants or foccacia bread. What gives Artista a feel of being "alive?" Its ongoing change in artwork which is displayed on the walls. Currently on display are black-and-white photographs by award-winning Japanese photographer, Satoru Yoshioka.

Youth, innocence, hope, and the American Dream. t Emerald City. In a recent L.A. Times Book Review, a friend of the late, great, gutter poet, Charles Bukowski, recalled the moment he heard of the writer's death. He was riding in his car when a Bukowski poem came on the radio. At first, he was pleasantly surprised to hear his friend's work, but then he realized that he was listening to an AM station. Any time such subversive work invaded AM airwaves, he thought, it couldn't be a good sign. Bukowski, of course, was the prototypical literary renegade, far too obscene and daring for mainstream culture— until his death, that is. I had a simitar experience at 12:30 on a sunny California Friday afternoon. I unexpectedly received the day off from work and was leisurely driving by the beach with a friend when I heard the opening chords of Nirvana's "Rape Me" blaringfroman otherwise tame AM news station. The "godfather of grunge," as the Barbie doll newswoman characterized Kurt Cobain, had been found dead that morning from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Seattle home. The "Generation X spokesman," Barbie reported, had struggled with heroin addiction and severe depression. His cryptic suicide note, publicly read a few days later by Cobain's wife and fellow musician, Courtney Love, spoke of losing excitement for life, of feeling guilty for "faking it." Quoting Neil Young, Cobain wrote, "It's better to burn out than to fade away." Kurt Cobain was not a spokesman for my generation, and the media's unrelenting need to characterize him as such was intellectually lazy and artistically unfair. He was a confused, depressed, probably mentally ill, but enormously talented sognwriter who felt immense uneasiness and frustration about the fame unleashed upon his Seattle garage band after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" suddenly became some kind of generational anthem. It was always obvious that music served as an intense and genuine form of aesthetic therapy for the "troubled" poet. Nirvana's themes were alienation, self-loathing, and displacement— the thematic territory of every angry punk band OuAurt StudentS fromthe Sex Pistols to Pearl Jam, But what set Nirvana apart from the beginning was Cobain's haunting, personal songwriting and the gentle, fragile melodies that inevitably descended into a haze of feedback and sonic confusion. And it was that quality, an artistic marriage of longing and angry resentment, innocence and powerlessness, personal guilt and social frustration, that gave songs like "All Apologies," "Lithium," "Polly," "Rape Me," and "Heart Shaped Box" their direct, intense power. In that sense, Cobain did speak to lonely, confused depressives like Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Neil Young and Lou Reed did before him. But it is the American public's incessant need to valorize these artists, to turn them into heroes and godfathers of movements that destroys their musical identity. Musicians are not leaders, not politicians or activists; especially someone as uncomfortable with adulation as Cobain. Nirvana had no answers to our generational dilemma nor professed prescriptions for m an's existential plight. Cobain's suicide is proof of that. Just because a song can provide a few minutes of solace, just because artcan be made vital and immediate, doe not make an artist a hero. Hero worship is dangerous, not least of all, for the hero. Bob Dylan wrote "It Ain'tMe Babe,"abitter, biting renunciation of generational leadership, at the height of his career. John Lennon eschewed God and all other forms of idolatry ("I just believe in me") at a time when the Beatles had nearly surpassed Jesus Christ in popularity. Cobain made Nirvana9s second major label album, In Utero, far less accessible and radiofriendly than itsfirst("Teenage angst has served me well/Now I'm bored and old"), but it sold millions of copies anyway. Cobain lost to milions of flannel-clad followers what was perhaps his last refuge against emotional abyss—his music. He was no hero. He was a poet, and that is the fact that will remain long after the feeding frenzy of cheap speculation about the details of his personal life is over. I, for one, will continue to celebrate that fact. mAke 6uaLity LeAderS. .. VOTE - MICHELLE S ADOVA FOR PRESIDENT This active A.S. Council Member is t he m ost qualified choice f or A.S. President.

Yvonne Gillis Contributing Writer Most of us are familiar with Charles Darwin and his theory of evolution. Probably fewer of us are aware of the fact that he discovered over 200 new species in one month on his trip to the Galapagos Islands. And even fewer of us are aware that today, less than 150 years later, biologists estimate that during 1993 at least 4,000 and as many as 36,000 species became extinct. While Darwin found himself extremely excited over discovering species and documenting their descriptions and habitats, scientists today do not find equal joy in documenting the rapid eradication of many of the world's plants and organisms necessary for us to sustain life. Necessary to sustain life? Yes! Seventy percent of the 3,000 plants identified by the National Cancer Institute as sources of cancer-fighting chemicals come from tropical forests. Recently, the Institute found that the extract from a vine located in the rain forests in Cameroon inhibits the replication of the AIDS virus. While you read this article, another type of plant species that could cure a AfiWRTISIlSte type of cancer or AIDS may be wiped out forever. Environmentalists consider the loss of tropical rain forests to be the world's most serious problem. These forests are homes to at least 50 percent of the earth's total species. Take for example the rosy Periwinkle. This flowering plant of the threatened tropical forests of Madagascar has two extracts used successfully to treat victims of lymphocytic leukemia and Hodgkin's disease. The active ingredients for 25 percent of our medicinal drugs are extracted from ants, most of which grow in the rain forests. Once the active compound is identified and isolated, it can be synthesized by chemists for our use. But the plant has to still be with us to identify the active ingredient. From the bark of the Yew tree, a rare Pacific tree, chemists extract the all-important substance called taxol which is used in ovarian and breast cancer treatment. Some environmental groups worried that logging and illegal bark stripping were threatening the Yew supply and hurting the legitimate harvesting of bark for taxol. Luckily though, by studying the taxol components, chemists have recently been able to produce a synthetic compound for commercial use. Darwin's Origins of Species (1959) advanced the case for evolution. Living creatures had evolved over millennia according to a principle described by one of his supporters as "the survival of the fittest." Darwin explained how non-random processes put the forces of the environment upon species to create natural selection. For example, if white rabbits and brown rabbits were living in snow country, the white rabbits, because of their ability to blend into the environment, will tend to escape their predators more readily than the brown rabbits. Conversely, brown rabbits blend into the desert setting easier than white rabbit. As a consequence, white rabbits thrive in snow country while the brown ones proliferate in the desert. So who looms to be the biggest predator of all? The present crisis of the rapid extinction of numerous plants and organisms is the first to be caused by a single species—our own. What would Darwin have though of this new development in the evolution of the species?

The American Heart Association's HeartRide is sponsored locally by Escondido Bicycles, Brecht BMW, Smith & NephewDonjoy Inc., Associated Students of CSUSM, The Pepsi Corporation and Eddie B's Cycling World and Fitness Camps. This non-competitive, just-for-fun event is expected to draw participants young and old. Cyclists are encouraged to raise money forridingthe course by asking friends and coworkers for contributions. Dollars raised from this event will support cardiovascular research and community education programs sponsored by the American Heart Association. "Cardiovascular diseases are America's No. 1 killers,' said Honorary Chairman Scott Tinley. "Every 34 seconds, someone dies from this devastating killer. Heart disease affects people of all ages. There are only two ways to fight it: find a cure through research or prevent them in the first place. Prevention is the key. Exercise plays an important role in preventing heart disease." HeartRide is designed for all levels of cyclists and will include four different routes. For families and beginningriders,there will bea5and lOmile loop around the University. For the more experienced rider, HeartRide has a 35 and 50 mile ride to the coast. HeartRide also plans to incorporate a mountain bike trail for any off-road enthusiasts.

Holmes Contributing Writer T I 1 he federal government claims it supports expanded and alterna J L tive communications with pronouncements by Vice President Gore advocating government programs to advance the "Information Highway," but the behavior of the federal government behind the scenes is quite the opposite. Conflicting policies, outdated regulations, sluggish approval process and insensitive Washington bureaucrats are hampering efforts to build the information highway. Telecommunication companies, according to the Wall Street Journal, are concerned that government is setting up road blocks with a penchant for control. The FCC can accelerate or delay its approval to achieve whatever effect it wants. By controlling who can set prices and how much they can charge, the FCC determines who wins and who loses in the competition to widen the information highway. Consequently, of "2.9 million homes scheduled to be wired for video services, only 2.5% will actually get two-way services." Instead of facilitating the information highway, the FCC, FAA, ICC and other New Deal leftovers, act like sea anchors. The economy suffers accordingly. The FCC is not alone in its obstruction ofthe information highway. Thebeliefthat government can manage markets for the benefit of all is at the heart of the problem. The reality has always been that government involvement has the opposite effect Benefactors are usually the limited few who mean the most to there-election6f a congressperson. The latest excuse for government involvement, according to the June issue of MacUser Magazine, "is the ability to eavesdrop on your telephone calls, read your e- mail, and browse through your database files." The Clinton administration has declared that all electronic communications with federal agencies, must use a National Security Agency (NSA) data security technology called Escrowed Encryption Standard—the "Clipper chip." It allegedly safeguards data from hackers and industrial spies, but it has a "back door" that permits the government to engage in surveillance and detection. The Clipper chip has chilling ramifications and litde justification. The government claims to need the back door "to catch criminals and thwart terrorists," but how many of them are naive enough to use a phone or computer system they know the government can monitor, when they can use any of a number offreeor commercial encryption programs? Government surveillance via the Clipper Chip, many contend, violates the Fourth Amendment's guarantee to privacy. Yet the Clinton administration is encouraging businesses (particularly phone companies) to install the chip in their communications equipment. The big question, asks MacUser Magazine, "will the government eventually move from encouraging compliance to mandating it, essentially giving itself a key to yourfrontdoor—atleastyour digital front door T If the Clipper chip is intended to catch criminals, then it should be named PSP (Pretty Stupid People) after those who buy into i t If it is intended for domestic surveillance, that might explain govenment obstruction of the information highway until the only way you can get to it is through the Clipper chip. �Student Leaders University Ball Charge the Capital Sacramento, CA. The California State Student Association (CSSA) held its Student Lobbying Conference April 16-18. Students representing the 21 CSUs met to discuss the 1994 legislative agenda and how specific actions may affect the students. Leaders were given a quick review on thefinerpoints of lobbying by Dan Faulk, a professor at Humboldt State University. Students lobbied for several actions including student fee increases, trustee reform, and financial aid. "If the public does not fight hard enough to ensure an affordable education for students, fees will go up 24 percent and will push a lot of students out of the university system," said Andrea Wagner, CSSA rep from San Jose State University. Approximately 50 students were in attendance at the conference with Cal State University Northridge driving up six students to Sacramento. Humboldt State University has been making regular trips to Sacramento and has kept the student voice alive at the Capital. Raises versus Student Fees Assembly Bill 2714, authored by Assemblywoman Karnette, prohibits an increase in UC or CSU executive salaries, benefits, or perquisites in a year when student fees are increased at the respective university. Salaries for the top university executives rose an average of 160 percent at the UCs and 90 percentattheCSUsfrom 1982 to 1992. From 1982 to 1992, student fees have risen 135 percent at UCs and 190 percent at CSUs. Since 1908, fees have increased in every year except 1984—regardless of the state's fiscal condition. Had this bill been in effect, no executive increases would have been permitted for at least the past decade! You can help this bill get passed by contacting your local legislature or campus CSSA representative through your Associated Student government office. Get Involved! Students Support New Campus A resolution giving support to the opening of CSU, Monterey Bay was passed by the California State Student Association on April 17. It was unknown whether the student organization would pass this resolution because of the concerns the students have with current and future budget cuts. The sixteen member board voted \manimously to support this new campus. raises $32,000 Approximately 300 friends and supporters attended CSUSM's seventh annual University Ball. The black-tie dinner-dance and silent auction were held at the Sheraton Grande Torrey Pines in La Jolla on April 9. The Ball raised over $32,000 to support the educational mission of the university. These funds are allocated by the Foundation Board of Directors to support important projects and activities which are not State-funded, such as: seed money for emerging programs, special curriculum development work, academic grant development, community activities and lectures, annual community/campus events such as the Pow Wow and the International Festival. Among the distinguished guests were Senator William A. "Bill" Craven, Assemblyman Robert Frazee, Senator David Kelly, City of San Marcos Mayor Lee Thibadeau, and City of Carlsbad Mayor Bud Lewis. As part of the evening's festivities, CSUSM President Bill Stacy presented Bill Daniels as the 1994 honoree for his many contributions to the world of business, community, government, and philanthropic organizations. Connie L. Anderson of San Marcos, chair of the event, stated, "The ball was an unqualified success. This was due to the hard work of the executive committee and the generous support of many individuals and corporations. In addition, to an elegant evening, these people helped provide CSUSM with additionalfinancialsupport, a margin of excellence, needed to move the new university forward." There were many large supporters of the Ball. Corporations or individuals who purchased $2,000-Star Tables included: H.F. Ahmanson, Connie L. Anderson, Senator William A. " Bill" Craven, Daniels Cablevision, Dudek & Associates, Inc., Hillman Properties, Dr. Byong Kim, KPMG Peat Marwick/David and Patti Down, Northern Telecom, Palomar Pomerado Health System, Rancho Coronado/Rancho Coronado Properties LP, San Diego Gas & Electric, San Diego Union-Tribune, Sharp Mission Park Medical Group, and Bill and Sue Stacy. In addition several individuals and companies donated $1000 or more for underwriting the Ball expenses. These included: Koll Company, Thornes Bartolotta McGuire & Padilla (attorneys), Robert Spanjian, Ralphs Grocery Company, Connie Anderson and Bob and Ruth Mangrum. Also contributing to the success of the evening were the efforts of Lucia Misiolek who coordinated the ticket sales and Marcia .Schaefer who coordinated the silent auction. fl.S.

The Student Health Advisory Board (SHAB) is considering this issue. An Open Forum on this issue was held on Tuesday, May 3. We are aware that many students may not have been able to attend this forum for many reasons. The Student Health Advisory Board is still eliciting comments and ideas concerning this important student issue. Information concerning the Mandatory Student Health Fee is available at Student Health Services or by contacting me or members of the board. The final meeting of the SHAB this semester will be Tuesday, May 10, at 11 AM. Please, try to respond by this meeting since a recommendation will be developed that will be effective for the fall, 1994 semester. Along with the ongoing provision of primary and preventive health care as well as special augmented services, Student Health Services has a daily impact on your health and safety at CSUSM. Student Health Services insures the immunization status on all CSUSM students and administers vaccinations, protecting CSUSM students and staff from Measles, Rubella, Hepatitis, and a variety of other infectious diseases. Student Health Services keeps your classmates healthy, so they don't spread diseases to you. And when your classmate is too sick to attend class, we can work with the student and the instructor to excuse the absence for medical reasons in order to encourage the students to stay home and get well. Also, pharmacy services are available providing low cost prescription medications and, in the near future, selected over-thecounter products. We offer first aid and urgent care to call CSUSM students, staff and visitors. We will be involved in the campuswide emergency plan and will be at the center of any response to earthquake, fire or other major disasters. We provide medical support to major campus events, such as graduation. Health and Wellness information, materials and health education programs are provided to the campus as a whole. Furthermore, if you have never used Student Health Services, you might wish to consider doing so in the future when you need medical assistance. The level of the care provided is excellent. Moreover, we understand your needs, both in terms of time and convenience. We are striving daily to mea- sure up to your standards of quality and accountability. The Student Health Services staff is dedicated to providing quality primary and preventive health care, and we have documented that dedication by achieving accreditation.

But thousands die on our highways each year because of one bad habit. So getintoagoodhabitand buckle your safety belt. It could change your life. Children depend on us to keep them safe from harm. One of the easiest ways to do this is always buckle them into a child safety seat. Buckle, em up! Those of you who know first hand and have witnessed the effectiveness of safety belts, pass on the experience to a friend. Fun facts : Women are more safety conscious than men, with 63% always buckling up, versus 51% of the men. Drivers of silver cars are more likely to buckle up. Those who drive blue, black, and maroon cars are least likely to wear safety belts. BUCKLE UP FOR LIFE!

Teaching Diversity Through Racism Roy Latas StaffWriter According to the CSUSM Mission Statement attending this university, "provides an atmosphere in which students c an experience a challenging education in a supportive environment, preparing them to live cooperatively and competitively in a world of cultural and ethnic diversity " Exposing students to cultural diversity and global perspectives can present an enormous task for educators when our traditions have traditionally brought a different relevance to education. Oddly enough, an exceptional opportunity to study the African American viewpoint came this semester, but not as part of the Upper-Division General Education requirement. The educational opportunity lies in English400H: Major Authors-Ishmael Reed. Do not feel badly if you have not heard of Reed; he was hailed almost 20 years ago as a dynamic voice of the African American community and was nominated for two Pulitzer prizes in 1969. Yet recently, Reed has fallen out of his avant garde favor by displeasing feminists and segments of the African American scholastic community. The class has been taughtduring the Spring semester by Dr. Kenneth Mendoza who has exceptional foresight by bringing Ishmael Reed's work to light This Major Authors course has studied novels with the descriptive titles of Terrible Twos, Yellow Back Radio-Broke Down, Airing Dirty Laundry, Writing is Fighting and Mumbo Jumbo, to name a few. The class discussions revolve around the topics of misogyny, oral traditions in literature, blasphemy, rhetorical style, intraintercultural relations, and the accuracy of accepted historical facts. A female Liberal Studies major states, "Perhaps things you don't want to see or hear may be beneficial when trying to understand the nature of ethnic problems." Reed's dynamic voice challenges the faint of heart and the culturally biased reader with the frank and graphic language of a scholar gup E 2gS Sfl who has battled racism throughout his life. English major Greg Marre commends Reed's literary style as being "straightforward and not worried about who he will offend." Reed's accounts of the African American community seeking dignity in American society provide this reader with a cultural immersion that I have not found in other classes on this campus. Ishmael Reed's unique heritage encompasses the African, French, Irish, and Cherokee cultures which highlight some of the most seriously repressed cultural groups within our society over the last 100 years. Reed's novels approach racism through a satirical vein that questions economic policies, religious dogma, and outdated cultural biases. English majors find Reed's novels challenging because of an oral style of writing that neglects formal punctuation in several of the novels under study, yet the orality of the texts gives a conversational flavor that draws any reader into a personal involvement with the characters. English major Jeff Keehn comments, "As Reed reflects the complex composition of the modern human sensibility, he questions monolithic and monocultural biases." The novels of Ishmael Reed explain both the ideology of the oppressors and the oppressed in a way that the readers can place their opinions while realizing the implications of those opinions. The diversity pledged by CSUSM will evolve as our campus matures; however, the vehicles used to approach human unity through understanding diversity need to create an attitude of solidarity among humanity instead of the currently accepted separatebut-useful cultural recognition that pervades our society. Reed shows the complicated network of racism in America, and by understanding the conventions that produce racism, students deliberate on the vehicles to eliminate it. CSUSM's aggressive waste reduction program has received enthusiastic response from the campus community. Since the program has been in effect for a significant period of time, a survey of the population serviced will be taken in order to evaluate the program and make improvements where necessary. You are encouraged to take a few minutes of your time to complete the brief survey which has been mailed to you. Your completed survey may be dropped off at: Admissions and Records, Associated Students Office, Duplication Center, Library Circulation Desk, or University Store Customer Service Window. Completing the survey will assist the Solid Waste Reduction Planning Committee in developing an even more effective program. �CSUSM's Presidential Service Award Winners Leticia Iglesias with family members and other student award recipients.

And forcing citizens to look at each other and treat one another as Lawrence M. Ludlow K Franklin members of this group or that group, only hurts us all in the end. Yes, we may look different and speak different and even act different. But for government to solidify and galvanize those differences, only perpetuates the problem. All the feel-good programs lawmakers have passed, have failed to acknowledge the smallest unit of society, the individual. It is because of individual effort, that we are living longer, healthier and more comfortable lives. It was individuals using their minds—not because this race or that ethnic group or that gender caused it to happen. It was the individual, the enterprising, thinking individual. You want to protect endangered species? A private individual in Kenya is already doing it. Where once a dying population of elephants was nearing extinction, it is now flourishing because the elephants are owned and protected as private property by an "individual," with no cost to the taxpayer. Why the insistence on government to care for us? Is it because we don't trust one another anymore? Government has made us paranoid focusing its efforts on our differences, that we have forgotten we are all members of the same species—human. Can you trust a government that subsidizes tobacco and alcohol, and conducts radiation experiments on its own citizens, to care for your health, your welfare, or your child's education? Some of us have lost faith that man, acting freely, and on his or her own behalf, willdowhatisbestforhimselforherself. It's only through voluntary cooperation between individuals, not force, that we will achieve what is in each person's self-interest. We know this as thefreemarket. By dispersing power onto each individual, the free market provides a safety valve against the concentration of power. To give away our right to govern ourselves to a small band of thugs and think that they have our interests at heart, is as naive as it is a sure recipe for tyranny (and a lot less freedom). Someone once said that justice is blind. I choose to stay blind when it comes to humanity. When I look at people, I do not see members of aminority, ethnic, or racial group. All I see are faces of individuals. �LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Morality in the Classroom Setting Our Sights Too High Dear Editor: Dear Editor: Concerning the article, "Cliche in the Classroom": Mr. Huntington asserts, that "the future of our children depends upon" the removal of the three conservative Christian school board members in Vista. The atrocity these board members have committed is a recent move to focus sex education curriculum on abstinence rather than a "detailed discussion of methods of birth control at a time when the proper use of a condom could very easily mean the difference between life and death." It seems that Mr. Huntington finds such a move "morally repugnant." Mr. Huntington, your belief that birth control should be emphasized is morally repugnant. It is a fact that condom failure ratings are, at best 11 percent. Should we then teach "children" that it is perfectly allright to have sex using a condom when the chances of failed protection is 11 percent or higher? Would you, Mr. Huntington, send your child to school if there was an 11 percent chance she would contract a deadly disease? No, you would not. You, like any other sensible parent, would make your child abstain from putting themsetves lii such a deadly position, i , and many other people, can testify that abstinence is not an unrealistic "cliche." Furthermore, abstinence is the only foolproof way of avoiding STDs. Moral repugnance occurs when moral recluses deceive children about the real facts of STD prevention. David Michael Bruno I do believe we are setting our sights too , high heape on our CSUSM campus. I t's time -fof Ml of us to lower our sights, at least temporarily, to see the mess that is under our feet. The concrete plazas, walkways, decks and stairways, are showing signs of the worst disregard for civility, manners and aesthetics that any college campus, especially such a new one, should be forced to exhibit. I t's not only smokers, and spitters, but the gum chewers as well. Is it just another way to be"COOL" or "RAD"? I'll bet your parents said that we all have a responsibility "not to foul our nest." Or perhaps you had to be too neat at home, so now you're rebelling. Do you throw lit cigarettes from your car windows (a fine if you're caught, maybe a destructive fire if you're not)? Do you drop gum and gum wrappers wherever you travel (a sign of adolescence, not adulthood)? Come on, people, we are 8ffeaStcollege juniors here at San Marcos. Do we need to translate this message into Japanese or Spanish, fifth-grade English or "valley-girl" and put it on :si^fts '2ilI ovdf campus? Or can you al make a conscious, adult decision to snuff out the cigs in sand or use some other safe disposal method. And throw the damn gum in the trash, not the recyling bins, the trash!

However, Merryl Goldberg, assistant professor at California State University, San Marcos found that using poetry as an educational tool dramatically improved students' reading and writing abilities, attention, comprehension, and most importantly, enthusiasm about learning and expressing knowledge. In researching the uses of poetry in a 4th grade classroom in Southern California, Goldberg found that using poetry in the classroom resulted in students doing far more writing and reading, and showing a higher level of comprehension on what they are reading. flower -Like aKeezefloatiiiJ ronger p et^s'tebsq f^iw fit l IptilMy a stemi^j lill f | l S S i l l ! I I weak tl "When the rules of grammar and syntax are eliminated, as they can be in poetry, writing becomes playful. This can set the stage for children who are developing their English skills to work with words and ideas. Students learn best when they are engaged and are having fun, and there is no question that is exactly what is going on when students are doing poetry," explained Goldberg. Writing poetry led naturally to reading poetry. "Children in the class are devouring books on poems," Goldberg explained. The project improved selfesteem and helped shy students overcome their reluctance to speak in front of others. It enabled a student with behavioral problems to blossom, and it was a source of inspiration for students who were learning to read." Goldberg further found that writing poetry helps students gain understandings of subject matter, such as science. "Writing poetry requires action and attention on the part of the student, so they get a deeper understanding of the subject," said Goldberg. One student composed a poem on meteors after a science lesson: Meteors fly like a fly. Maybe it's a butterfly with its wings spread high in the sky. Goldberg's students have written poems on numerous subjects including sharks, family, oceanography, and holidays around the world.

Congratulations! VOLUNTEER COUNSELORS NEEDED FOR SPECIAL SUMMER CAMP Counselors are needed for Camp-ALot, a residential summer camp program at Palomar Mountain that is operated by ARC-San Diego (Association for Retarded Citizens). The camp provides children and adults who have developmental disabilities with the opportunity to participate in regular summer camp activities such as hiking, swimming, arts and crafts. Ordinarily some 100 campers, from ages 6 through adult, attend each of the four sessions. "Our ratio of counselors to campers is much higher than you would find in a regular camp situation," said Lin Taylor, camp director. "If we don't have enough counselors, we have to turn away campers and they do not get this wonderful opportunity to learn about nature." Counselors are needed for sessions runningfromJuly 5 through Aug. 16. A children-only session will run Aug. 1115. Volunteer counselors must be 18 or older and make a commitment to complete at least one camp session. No experience is necessary and orientation will be provided. Counselors receive room, board, transportation to and from the camp, Taylor said. • Room available to serious, mature student on ranch in Escondido. References required. Call 745-6506.

One thousand students met with 62 busi­ ness and government agencies as well as 25 graduate professional schools to discuss career choices, goals and job availability. Representatives from the banking indus­ try, retail stores, financial planning, hospi­ tality, accounting, social service, manufacturing,insurance, package delivery, and government agencies set up booths from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Companies and agencies were present to accept resumes, hand out applications, discuss educational requirements, conductmock interviews and answer basic questions about their indus­ try. Calloway Golf, the Carlsbad California manufacturer of the Big Bertha golf club which was voted the 14th fastest growing company by Fortune magazine, is always hiring. Sheri Wright, Human Resource Representative for Calloway, looks for ap­ plicants who have technical skills. Com­ puter literacy and leadership skills as well as any scheduling and planning experience are, a plus. Interested students should mail resumes to Calloway Golf, attention Sheri Wright, Human Resources. Smith Barney Shearson, a financial plan­ ning firm with offices from San Diego to New York City, was on hand to introduce their internship program. “ An internship gives students tremendous insight into the opportunities and challenges of a career in financial services,” said Paul Firth, Financial Consultant in Smith Barney Shearson’s Carlsbad office. Interns would not be paid; however, students could unit college credits through an independant study program. Bank of America returned to the Career Fair because of the positive community re­ sponse and the number of applicants they received at last year’s job fair. “Last year we received 40 to 50 applications,” said Joylene Dusran-Shew, Bank of America Staffing Spe­ cialist The career fair gives students “the perfect opportunity to hold mini and mock interviews which help students practice interview skills without the formality," said Meyer. The Equitable Life Insurance Agency was curious about CSUSM upon reading newspa­ per stories about the University. James Reopelle, District Manager for the Equitable wanted to check out the school and accept resumes from the “Right Persons" who pos­ sess interpersonal skills, high intelligence lev­ els, entrepreneurial skills and work ethics. First year Equitable employees can expect to earn $36,000. "Players" earn $50,000 their first year. Equitable employees will attest that hours are long and the work is hard if you want to enjoy the financial rewards. Twenty-five graduate and professional schools set up booths from 1-3 pm. for the second half of the Career Fair. CSUSM rep­ resentatives from the education, mathemat­ ics and psychology departmentsjoined schools with campuses throughout California to meet students interested in advanced degrees. The UC Irvine social ecology department boasts a 43% increase in applications this year. The recruited attribute the interest to current world-wide emphasis on the environ­ ment. The current acceptance rate for social ecology applicants is 1 in 6. Most graduates of UC Irvine social ecology hold academic ca­ reers. Some graduates turn to Urban Plan­ ning. Western State University, College of Law (WSU) is the “only accredited law school in the area that offers Spring Admission,” said Carl Tusinski, Admissions Counselor. Stu­ dents can apply up to the start of the term via WSU’s rolling admissions policy. The Career Fair is a semi-annual event at CSUSM "provided funding continues," said Sandy Punch. Punch is organizing a Career and Teacher Education Fair in February 1994. The Teacher Education portion is strategically scheduled before campus interviews. The February 1994 Career Fair will target local and national businesses and agencies. Butdon'texpect to meetAT&T, ITT and TRW at the fair. Punch has invited them in the past but they declined. The reason—CSUSM does not offer de­ grees in engineering. �* Alumni-----— 1st Alumni Picnic A Hit THE UNIVERSITY NEEDS YOU By Richard Molloy President, A.S. Well, actually, the students need you to represent the “student point o f view.” There are a variety of university committees and it is encouraged that student representation exists. Committees are created to develop plans and policy about this university which will undoubtedly affect students at some point It is, therefore, crucial for us to have interested students who are willing to speak up when student issues arise. It is also a great way to meet faculty, staff and administrators. The following committees have positions available: Photo/Sheryl Greenblatt President Bill Stacy slams a volley ova-the net Nice form! By Debbie Duffy Contributing Writer The sound of sizzling hamburgers cook­ ing on a grill, the fragrance ofpies and cakes, the mouthwatering cookies, the sound of laughterand conversation, the sightofpeople playing games and gathering with Mends, all came together on August 29,1993. If you were listening, smelling, and see­ ing all these things, you were at the First CSUSM Alumni Association Picnic, held at Walnut Grove Park. The Alumni Associa­ tion wanted to pull everyone together for an old-fashioned picnic: alumni, students, fac­ ulty, staff, and families were all invited to enjoy end-of-summer festivities. Everyone who came had a good rime, either by meeting with friends, or by playing volleyball, baseball, and ‘Twister’, or by cooking and preparing dinner, but especially by consuming the food. Who could turn away delicious burgers, hot dogs, salads, chips, and dessert? No one at the picnic could or did. As people arrived, well-known faculty members manned the grills. Wearing trusty, well-worn aprons with interesting slogans, these self-confident men tackled the cook­ ing. Dr. Stacy, of course, led the way, demonstrating his faultless grilling style. Studiously attentive, Dr. Rocha, Dr. Lilly and Dr. Zomalt followed Dr. Stacy’s lead. Needless to say, everything was done to perfection. After eating, the children were invited to play games and win prizes. BritanyCrist,a LiberalArtsstudent,ran thechildren’sgames, and every child came running back to his or her parent, faces smiling,with goodies grasped in their hands. Volleyball teams were formed for some post-dining exercise and fun. “It is, of course, a strenuous game,” all agreed. Bestof all, a 100-person Twister’ game was donated by Milton Bradley. After the game was taped together, everyone had a rip-roaring time watching the players try to remain on their colored circles as the different body parts attempted to match differently colored circles while straining to keep the other body parts on the circles already called. Children competed against children, adults competed against children (not fair-children are naturally more flexible than adults), and university clubs competed against each other for a $30 prize. The children, of course, outlasted the adults (was there any doubt?). When the Circle K. Soccer and SCTA, TEKE and Economics clubsplayed againsteach other, rivalry displayed itself immediately. All the struggling, writhing, twisting, falling, and stretching, ultimately proved who the winner would be—the TEKE fraternity! Due to hard work of Lora Coad and her committee, Tom Weir and his staff, the TEKE fraternity, the donations from local businesses, and the grand effort of the cooks, the day was a huge success. By the end of an afternoon of food and fun, everyone was full, tired, and happy. They had come together as one, as an important part of an extraordinary univer­ sity named CSU San Marcos.

J �The Global Village Celebrates Its 3rd Year By Claudine Scott S taff Writer On Sunday, Oct. 3, CSUSM held its 3rd annual International Festival. In keeping with the CSUSM mission statement, the event was a celebration of cultural diversity represented in our community. The day was filled with tasty ethnic samplings and lively sights and sounds. Several booths lined the upper parking lot. Among the many countries represented were Africa, South America, Iran, China and Romania. All had fascinat­ ing objects to be admired or purchased. The atmo­ sphere was friendly and warm, no hard sell. Friends of the Library had a popular stand selling used books, some of them collector items dating back to 1898. All in all, prices were reasonable for all the booths’ wares. Throughout the day, a myriad of performances could be seen and heard at the main stage: Chinese Lion Dancers, Chasqui ensemble playing Andean music, Sankofa’s Afro-Jazz group, including the day’s featured performers, Los Lobos. The Children’s Stage also had many activities going on simultaneously. The children could choose from workshops in African d rumming, Indian and Spanish dance, and a Balkan song workshop. Local elemen­ tary school 5th and 6th graders provided the artwork on display with colorful masks created with the help of CSUSM volunteer visual arts students. This is just one example of CSUSM’s efforts to reach out into the community. There was also a variety of ethnic foods to sample. Everything from jambalaya, blackened fish and vegetable bourguignonne to egg rolls and authentic Mexican dishes. A day geared towards family fun, everyone en­ joyed the celebration of diverse cultures and customs. Smiles and sunshine were the order of the day.

Formed last spring semester by business students and fotmer business Dean Anderson, the Student Advi­ sory Council (SAC) for tbe College of Busi­ ness is operating and ready to assist business majors. Designed last semester to provide open communication between administration and students, CSUSM faculty wereaskedto nomi­ nate students they felt had the necessary quali­ fications to save as student advisors. Last spring, eight students woe chosen to serve on the first council. SAC is a group unique to CSUSM. While all colleges have two student representatives, this is tbe first college to have larger group representation. Council member Bob Mulqeen noted that a larger group of organized students can share tasks, reduce the work load, and facilitate student accessibility. Tbe goal of the Council is to provide an outlet for students to voice their concerns, opinions, and criticism. Although the busi­ ness dean’s office has always been open to students’ concerns, students may feel more comfortable approaching one of their own peas. This semester, SAC has already been busy fielding questions from students. The fall ‘93 curriculum greeted business majors with many changes. Units, course numbers and prerequi­ sites had been revised leaving many students confused. Student representatives working with SAC arranged an open forum in September with the new acting business Dean Diehr, and Richard Millman, Provost and VP of Academic Af­ fairs, to review the new business curriculum. Students attending the forum asked for in­ creased information to help them with future planning. Within a week, students received a tentative spring schedule which would allow them to plan next semester’s classes and anticipate problems. Further communication from business studoits is expected. Business majors should be receiving questionnaires which will ask for their input regarding upcom­ ing classes. In addition to the question­ naire, the SAC encourages ongoing stu­ dent input. The council welcomes any concerns signed or anonymous, and will do their best to investigate each student’s letter. Studoits can place written con­ cerns in one of the council’s mailboxes locatedintheCollegeofBusiness Admin­ istration, or in the Associated Student Office. �6 S tlld C n tG - _________________ _ ________ _ Y OU NAME IT/FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8,1993 . . .

Consider dropping the first draft of your term papa: in the mixed office papa: bin instead of the bottom of your bacpack. White office paper and computer pa­ per are the most valuable paper to recycle. It will make it easier for you to find your important papers, like the first edition of our nameless student newspaper. Once you have pored through our first edition take a minute to drop it in the newspaper container located in the stair­ way of Academic Hall. “Recycling a 36inch-tall stack of newspapers saves the equivalent of 14% of the average house­ hold electric bill,” according to the Recy­ cling Committee of CSUSM. Snapple bottles make a sticky mess rolling around in the back seat of your car yet can find a happy home in the Glass Recyclingbin. Youcanleavethelabelon, but please remove the lid. Once you have had your morning soda caffeine buzz, please discard your alumi­ num can in the Cans and Plastic bin. You can also add tin, bi-metal cans, metal pie plates and aluminum foil. Plastic milk cartons and soda bottles with a number one or two on the bottom can be recycled as well. ^ e c tfd i* ty *** fie a lfy * (Ufa*****1 1 1 Join Peace Corps Globalize Your Resume!

This crisis is triggered by the entrance of Anna Barton (Juliette Benoche) who has been dating the Fleming’s son Martin (Ruper Graves). Benoche gives a focused perfor­ mance, endowing Anna with a calm, brooding and hypnotic quality. Benoche’s Anna re­ mainsan enigmathroughoutthe film, a stranger who never truly becomes revealed to us or, for that matter, the other character with whom she interrelates. Steven Fleming predictably and blindly enters into a steamy affair with Anna Barton. Their passion for one another seems to tran­ scend their judgment. Soon, consistent with the dominant leadership role he has become used to playing, he acknowledges a need to create “some kind of order” out of the sudden emotional chaos their affair has brought into his life. He says, “We’ve got to find a struc­ ture for this,” but Anna remains as ephemeral as smoke. Fleming attempts to call the rela­ tionship off, but this fails when neither can resist the force which pulls them together. Anna warns him about herself: “Remember, damaged people are dan­ gerous. They know they can survive.” The chemistry between them becomes nothing short of spontaneous combus­ tion which ultimately destroys everything initspath. Wepity them as we would pity two lovers falling into an abyss. We are less likely to judge them because Malle’s deliberate telling of the story establishes that they are both obviously caught in die spell of something enormous. Finally, Anna surprisingly drifts away from the damage ultimately created by their indis­ cretion, as enormous in nature as the depth of their passion. To the very end, she remains aremote mystery, paradoxi­ cally affected yet impervious to the dam­ age left in her wake.

Unlike the 15th century Italians who named Influenza because they thought the disease was influenced by the stars, we do know the cause and better yet, have a vaccine to prevent i t The Influenza vaccine will be available again this year at Student Health Services. Ib is wily virus has once again mutated and a new strain appeared last year. Therefore, the 1993-1994 vaccine is different and will provide protection against this new strain called the Beijing flu. Who should get the vaccine? Groups considered high-risk are those with chronic cardiovascular (heart) disease, chronic pulmonary (lung) disease including asthma, chronic metabolic disease, people age 60 or older, health care workers and anyone having extensive contact with high-risk persons. High-risk persons will be vaccinated free with state supplied vaccine. People who are not considered highrisk can receive the vaccine for a $10 fee. This program is open to students, faculty and staff and will begin today. If you have questions regarding the desirability or need for the vaccine, or wish to make an appointment for a flu shot, please contact Student Health Services at 752-4915. COMMUNITY HEALTH FAIR COMES TO NORTH COUNTY By Susan Mendes Health Education Assistant On Saturday, October 16, a Commu­ nity Health Fair is being held at Alvin Dunn Elementary School, 300 South Rancho Santa Fe Road, San Marcos. The mission of the fair is to bring our neighborhood together in a positive, healthy way.

Sponsors include the City of San Marcos, North County Health Services, Kaiser Hos­ pital, Scripps Hospital, Palomar Hospital, Palomar College and California State Uni­ versity, San Marcos. The Health Education Department of Student Health Services, along with a number of dedicated CSUSM student vol­ unteers, will sponsor a nutrition booth entitled “Healthy Mexican Cooking.” They will have a cooking demonstration and will give a free fajita to each child who participates in health screenings at the other booths. Also, some of our students have volun­ teered at the booth for drug and alcohol information sponsored by the North County Community Task Force for Drug and Alcohol Prevention, of which CSUSM is a member. They will be making juice snow cones forthechildren. Thanks goes to Tom Weir for the generous use of his machine. If any CSUSM students have children who need immunizationsor health screen­ ings, they may participate simply by bring­ ing their child to the event with a yellow immunization card. All services are free. Fair times are 12 noon to 5 p.m. Also present will be the party jump, sea of balls, clowns, and face painting. It should be a fun event for all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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