Woodward PRIDE STAFF WRITER student body, saying "students are the reason for this university." Calling President Gonzalez his "friend," Delawari made the final introduction. The president spoke at length about the past and future of CSUSM, citing the Tenth Year Anniversary as his reason for doing so. The highlight of his speech committed the future of the university to the students, saying that in the past, "we too often lost sight of the student." He dedicated the second decade to a "vision of student achievement and success." Dr. Miriam schustack addresses convocation. Every year faculty, staff, students, and community members gather together for the kick off to the new academic year. In what can be compared to a U.S. President's State of the Union address, CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez made his Convocation address for 19992000 on August 23, 1999 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. All were treated to a continental breakfast and mingled freely awaiting President Alexander Gonzalez' third annual address which starts off the new academic year. CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez was available for comment before his speech. He acknowledged both his hopes for the future of CSUSM and the ongoing strain that exists between faculty, staff, and the student body. Dr. Miriam Schustack, Department of Psychology, introduced new faculty and staff and acknowledged outstanding teachers in the local community in an opening speech. She also spoke about the groundbreaking that will herald the building of both the Science II structure and the new Arts structure. ASI president Waleed Delawari spoke enthusiastically about the strength of the The cheerful atmosphere of the event, however, was compromised by what President Gonzalez dubbed the "dark side" of the past. Schustack cautioned the audience to "fight challenges, not each other." The president noted that communication must improve between "the organization and the faculty." He outlined specific goals for improving the existing condition of strife, including upholding the values of "community and integrity." Moving beyond in-house problems, the president indicated that last year's lower-than-expected enrollment kept the university from receiving a budget increase from the Chancellor. He ended his See CONVOCATION Pg. 4 Dynamite Shakes Campus Daily By Cynthia C. Woodward PRIDE STAFF WRITER Is it the "Big One?" First day of class. Students sit nodding at their desks, enjoying the lull that follows lunch and a busy morning. Suddenly, three long, shrill siren screams break the silence, and a blast sounds. The FCB building rocks violently, exactly as if an earthquake of Richter scale proportions has hit California. I grab my desk and wail, "What was that?

Construction. The quarry operation has agreed to excavate the land behind the FCB building and the upper faculty lot to "building-pad height." In return, the company moves truckloads of granite— in high demand at this time—that it blasts just yards away from our classrooms. Minor Inconveniences Despite dynamite blasts and ringing sirens signaling the explosions, Decker says that inconveniences to students and faculty will be kept to a minimum.

The Center conducts research and research training and disseminates information pertaining to research findings concerning Latino populations in the United States. "I am excited about the strong institutional support and warm welcoming conveyed by both the administration and the faculty at Cal State San Marcos," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, director of the Center. The Center has been funded by the National Institutes of Health to promote increased research and training of researchers who are studying Latino populations. The center has a national scope that includes all Latino subgroups— MexicanAmericans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans. The Center is committed to areas such as health, mental health, education, social issues, housing , labor and employment and immigration. Professor Soriano has joined the faculty at CSUSM as a tenure-track member of the College of Arts and Sciences program in Human Development Soriano's work in youth and school violence was highlighted at the American Psychological Association national convention in August, 1999. His work will also be featured in a CBS documentary on school violence and will be represented in the National Summit on Violence in Denver in late August. Dr. Soriano was one of six national experts selected to contribute to a special segment of MTV's True Life series on youth violence and suicide, and to a prevention brochure that was offered to young viewers who called a toll-free number following the segment. Soriano has been a visiting professor of psychology and education at Stanford University, where he received two consecutive distinguished faculty awards from students for his teaching and research. At CSUSM, The Center will work closely with the Social and Behavioral Research i nstitute,. directed by Dr. Richard Serpe.

As they made their way to the Library courtyard, they were greeted by a bamboo flutist whose music echoed across the deserted campus. Funes' battle with cancer ended on July 3, 1999. Many "Don Stories" were shared by those who knew him best—his wife Carolyn, and Nico Israel, the Funes family spokesperson. Relatives from such faraway places as Boston, Idaho, and Victoria B.C. shared warm moments with faculty, staff, students, and friends. Dr. Victor Rocha, Dean of Arts and Sciences, spoke of the great efforts Funes made in making the upcoming Arts building a reality. Funes' commitment to the arts is seen in his belief that "the soul of the institution is in the arts." Funes worked with a variety of traditions ranging from African, Indonesian, and Andean music. His presence at San Marcos made concerts at local high schools possible. His dedication to the arts extended to a passionate support for a rich collection of library books and CDs that seek to go beyond the Eurocentric model.

I am the psyche fairy. I will try to help you with your questions and problems about whatever issues you have. Now, I am not a "licensed" psyche fairy, I'm just an apprentice right now. But, as you know, those apprentices do a lot of good work in their training. I will do my best to be considerate of your personal cultures and hope that you may keep an open mind and heart as well. Compassion is always the best place to start and move to solutions from there. With that said, let's learn from others' psyches and have fun in the process. My love and wishes for a productive and happy semester with many new experiences, Psyche Fairy Dear Psyche Fairy, I met this lady in class and I think she is lesbian. What is a polite way to ask? - Josh, 27 Josh, why do you care, really? If she is, she won't be asking you for a date. If you are attracted to her then you can compliment her and ask her if she would like to accompany you somewhere. If that seems too bold, then connect with her as a study partner and inevitably the conversation will drift off the subject during which time you can make your advance. If she accepts, then you have a date and she just might be straight enough to develop a romance with you. If not, then she might either be uninterested in you or maybe she is a lesbian. In both of these cases, then her sexuality is really not relevant to your situation. If you are gay and you are trying to connect with some "family" then wear something that is identifiable as a symbol of the gay/lesbian/bi/trans community. If she wishes to connect with you and share she will likely comment on this and there you go. If you are merely interested to satisfy your urge to box her up as a "nice little lesbian" then forget about it. In this case, spend your time figuring out what it is that urges you so and why any answer would be valuable. Pretend you found out through gossip that she is a lesbian. What then? Do you treat her as a bulldyke (as if there is one appropriate way to treat such a person)? If you are attracted to her, then mention it and good luck from there.

Try them out and indulge her fantasies. You may really enjoy it and expand your sexual awareness of pleasure in the process. Why are you so resistant? The toys won't hurt you by themselves, so don't be afraid. Who knows? You may soon have a new favorite "toy" around the house. Remember that your ideas may change and they might not bother you anymore. Just be careful, because the psyche fairy knows that some toys can be harmful if used improperly. Also, some toys can be of such great size that it is nearly impossible to use them safely. Be good to your body, but pleasure it as you do your mind.

The plot was S.O.S. and the acting was bland except when LL Cool J made us laugh uproariously. The main thing I went to see this movie for, of which it delivered quite well, were those seat poppers you get when something unexpected happens so suddenly (like when a 45 foot shark swims up, bites a man in half, and swims off...all in 0.85 milliseconds). The movie also had a philosophical/moral quirk surrounding the issue of altering the shark's genetic code in order to produce more of a substance that would cure Alzheimer's Disease. This substance is produced in small quantities in the brain of a normal shark. Since the scientists were total nitwits, they decided that a shark with a bigger brain would produce more of the substance and thus genetically altered the DNA of the shark to get a bigger brain. Simple logic would follow that a larger brain means that the creature would have a greater capacity to learn and would therefore be "smarter." This oversight goes to prove that just because the scientists have extremely high I.Q.'s doesn't mean that they use that lump of mashed potatoes to make their decisions. Of course with the sharks being smarter they manage to really mess up the floating lab in which they are being held, forcing the surviving inhabitants to desperately claw their way back to the surface, all the while fighting for their lives. Oddly enough, I found myself cheering for the shark towards the end of the film. I wanted so badly for it to tear a particular character in the movie asunder violently. It did of course, thus punishing the demented scientist who messed with its DNA, which satiated my lust for the extermination of the worst character in the movie. Definitely go see this film if you have someone you'd like to hold onto or you get a kick out of jumping bodily from your seat while your heart skips a beat. If you get the chance, go see it in the theater. If you wait for it on video, make sure you watch it late at night with all the lights off in order to preserve the aura of the film and get your couple of bucks entertainment out of it. All date offers, love letters, or messages of a positive nature can be sent to: csusmovies@hotmail.com , where they will be read, cherished and answered as fast as I can get to them. All hate mail can be sent to the same address and they will be read when I feel like it, then laughed at, and summarily deleted to electronic mail oblivion.

Those things help of course but they are not what I am looking for, I 'm looking for action... period.

WIoodward Arts Complex Break Ground I and b Cynthia C STAFF WRITER J &HL M M C * Big changes are coming for students, faculty, and staff in the parking lot this semester. We now have parking fees for autos increasing from $54.00 per semester to $62.00 per semester. Motorcycles took a harder hit with a fee increase from $13.50 per semester to a whopping $30.00. Dora Knoblock, Parking Services Coordinator at CSUSM stated, "Parking Services is a totally self supporting entity, we do not receive any state funding." Why were the parking fees increased? To pay back bonds for the existing parking lots, according to Knoblock. New, solar powered, yellow ticket machines are in place in all the lots now, at a cost of over $60,000. She also notes that when comparing fees at other CSU campuses, San Marcos' parking fees were one of the lowest in the system. Robert Williams, office manager, stated, "We are working to incorporate alternative modes of transportation." New bicycle storage units will replace the old ones this semester. Other plans include spaces for car pools in both the student and faculty parking lots. Additionally, a possible agreement with North County Transit District (NCTD) is in negotiations to offer bus passes at a reduced rate for students. Parking Services is back on campus with a new location in FCB 107A. Welcome Week hours are 8am7pm. Normal business hours will be from 8am-5pm. It is their hope that with their relocation back on campus, the addition of new parking signage, and a new parking kiosk in the top lot, they will generate more of a one on one service for students, staff, and visitors. PRIDE STAFF WRITER • Director of Planning, Design and Artists' rendering of Science II and Arts Building Two new structures will break ground this semester, the Science II building and the new Arts Complex. The buildings will overlook the Cesar Chavez Plaza, east and north of the statue. No date has been officially set for the groundbreaking, but any day now shovels will hit the dirt. The groundbreaking readies the land for these newest additions to CSUSM. The actual building will not begin until late November or OBITUARIES Donald J. Funes, Professor of Music and Director of Andean Music, died of cancer at his home July 3. He was 60 years old. Don began his career thirty-seven years ago in Washington State. In the 1970s, he established the Life Electronic Music Ensemble at the Crane School of Music in Potsdam, New York. Later, he became chair of the School of Music at Northern Illinois University. It was at NIU that he began his research in and performance of Andean music, a labor of love that he communicated far and wide. Don joined the faculty of CSUSM in 1990. He was the founding member of the Visual and Performing Arts program, and the vision he shared with his colleagues still defines and guides the program. In addition, Don also led the early development of the General Studies program, another enduring legacy. All who worked with him gained immeasurably from the experience. He will always be in the hearts and minds of everyone here at the University. Don is survived by his wife, Carolyn, and two sons, Michael and Matthew. Former State Senator William A. Craven, who spearheaded the work to establish California State University, San Marcos, died July 11. He was 78 years old. Senator Craven represented our Senatorial district from 1978 until August of 1998. For nearly 20 years, he worked to establish the need for a CSU campus in the rapidly growing North County region. In 1988, his senate bill, SB360, created the initial legislation to found CSU San Marcos. Senator Craven was part of the historic bill signing at the temporary campus on September 1, 1989 that created the 20** campus of the CSU system. During his remaining years in the Senate, Craven remained a good friend to the university, particularly in getting bond issues to ballot to assist the growing campus. Six months ago, at his request, his family donated $250,000 of unspent political action funds from his campaigns to scholarships for needy CSU San Marcos students. His scholarship fund will be used for needy student-athletes. 1 Barbara Ann Mosiej Pender, a CSUSM employee and member of the campus' first graduating class, passed away at the age of 49 on June 26. In her eight-year fight against breast cancer, she became an activist in its early detection and research and was an inspiration to many women and men coping with this disease. During her lifetime, she was a devoted and loving daughter, mom, grandma, sister, niece and friend. As a CSUSM student, Barbara worked as an assistant for Carolyn Mahoney in the Math and Science Department from 1990-1992. Mahoney described Barbara as a "fine student and good role model" and acknowledged her many achievements while at CSUSM. Barbara became a full-time staff member here in 1992. She was actively involved as the Project Director for the highly successful Academic Math and Science Summer Camp held every summer at CSU San Marcos from 1992-1996. She is survived by her mother, Elizabeth L. Mosiej; children Tamara Mosiej, Andrea Elliot and Lance Pender; grandchildren David and Elisabeth Mosiej; and sister Mary Amari, all of Oceanside. early December. The sites will be fenced from the public during construction, and should cause little or no inconvenience to students in regard to either parking or accessibility to the campus. The Science II building and the Arts Complex will be constructed concurrently and are due for completion in 2002. University Hall, the most recently completed building on the campus, was finished in a little over a year and a half. Russ Decker, Construction, explained that the Science II and Arts buildings have "more complicated space and ventilation" concerns than University Hall, due to the need to construct labs and theaters. Science II is designed to house physics, biology and chemistry labs, some computer and math labs, a greenhouse, and a small number of classrooms. In contrast, the Arts Complex will accommodate a 250-seat auditorium as well as two theaters and space for classrooms and rehearsals. One theater is designed to seat 150 and will accommodate a large proscenium stage, while the other will be a "black box" theater that will allow for flexible seating and staging. One of the next building projects on the campus will be the construction of the new See BUILDING Pg. 4 46 Students Receive Laptops By Leiana Naholowaa PRIDE EDITOR What's even better than unlimited Internet access on campus? For forty-six students, it's the thrill of owning a laptop computer. As part of the Leonard Evers scholarship, freshmen in financial need received gifts in what is the most innovative and uncommon program in the nation. Students carried in their portable computers to University Hall 100 Tuesday, August 23, 1999, equipped to start off the first semester. Support members from Academic Computing were on hand to connect each laptop to the Campus Wide Information System (CWIS) server. The sophistication of Dell Pentium II and Fujitsu laptops matched this new generation of students who have all grown up in an age of computers. Bill Craig who is one of the main technical supports for Academic Computing conducted the training workshop by connecting his own laptop to a large video screen. He walked the students through each campus operating system and spoke about the school's home drive. Copies of all work saved on this drive are available for up to twelve weeks in Computing Services. Craig reassured students, "We'll be able to get a copy of your homework for you if your laptop crashes." Paul Phillips, Director of Financial Aid, remarked on the great success of the program that began last year. Of the first fortyfreshmen,93% have registered again this fall. As agreed, the three students who dropped out returned their laptops to the school. Those computers, in turn, went to members of this year's incoming freshman class. Leonard Evers of Templeton , California, the program's beneficiary, was an accountant who left money in his will for the school because he wanted to help students. A large portion of the $2.6 million gift goes to increase EOP grant awards as well as the widelyacclaimed computer scholars' program. All funds for the grant are invested so that only the interest is spent. "Funds will be available forever," Phillips further notes, "Your grandchildren will be able to benefitfromthis." If students in the Evers scholarship program make it successfully through their college career, the computers are theirs to keep. and Information Services : Hua Yi, Senior Assistant Librarian, Library and Information Services : Dr. David E.

A campus that fosters teamwork among students, but prizes autonomy over community. A place where no one trusts anyone else to do their job, where redundant review is seen as exhausting, but still necessary. An organization planning, and often communicating, in silos. Acampus that prizes responsiveness to student needs, but one not fully prepared to commit to client-centered practices. An institution trying to be everything to everyone, rather than defining its distinctive areas of competence. An academic enterprise reasonably sure of its success, but with insufficient means to measure that success. A faculty that hod each other to very high standards, but with canstantly shifting expectations and rewards that don't seem to align with goals. These are the shapes that emerge from the shadows of the portrait of CSU San Marcos when we choose to examine the darker side. But, as Oscar Wilde wrote, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." Jose Ortega y Gasset wrote that "The choice of a point of view is the initial act of a culture." During the first decade at CSU San Marcos, what has been our point of view and what culture have we created? How many of us, in coming to this campus, were able to adopt the viewpoint of the student seeking an education and services and to tailor our work to ensure student success? I suspect that in all our hard work to build programs and expertise, we too often lost sight of the student. As we begin our second decade, I would like to suggest that CSU San Marcos take the opportunity to refocus its efforts on the point of view of the students we serve. Once we begin with the perspective of a student, we can begin to define our culture around the On the Mission Statement... vision of student achievement and student When the Visioning Group success. began to seek input from the campus community, one of the first questions of many individuals and groups was: why On the WASC Self-Study and visioning?

We hope to make this a great jear! However, I've always had the question: which part of the mission are you citing to inform your work? Our work so far in the visioning process has reminded us that there are many inspiring phrases and ideas within the current Mission Statement that we want to continue to uphold. In fact, our current values and mission drafts state many of the same values and mission, only in a more condensed form. Still, the current mission statement is too broad; it mixes our mission, vision, and values, as well as goals and strategies to achieve the mission. Refining the mission of the University became one of myfirstpriorities when I came to this campus. On the Chancellor's Office... This next year of working and planning will not be easy. As you all know, this campus received basically a flat budget over last year. Because we did not meet our enrollment targets last fall, the Chancellor's Office did not look favorably on giving us additional funds for enrollment growth this year. To reframe their reaction within Tierney's viewpoint, the Chancellor's Office did not demonstrate confidence in our productivity and organizational performance. We may be achieving great results in student learning—again, we don't know enough about our success—but our inability to demonstrate adequate enrollment growth given local demand, hampered our efforts to garner growth funds from the CSU system. gEfte ffribe CONVOCATION continued from Page 1 speech by saying that while he holds great expectations for the BUILDING Continued from Pg. 3 dence" to prove student success. of the university and the community.

According to Judith Downie, an unofficial historian for the quilters, Tannis Brown, Training arid Special Projects Coordinator for Human Resources, was influential in bringing the group together. An accomplished quilter, she taught the ancient art to less experienced crafters. The group began with the creation of the " Founder's" quilt, which is pieced together f rom idonated scraps of fabric. Many well-known hands around the campus helped create the quilt, including Pat Worden, Associate Dean for Many pieces in the collection belong to Cal State San Marcos, including the 'Tenth Anniversary" quilt and the equally impressive "Founder's" quilt.

The ceremony took place on a warm and sundrenched afternoon at the San Marcos campus. Many distinguished guests, family, friends, faculty, staff and students attended the event. A processional march towards a temporary stage, set up on the lawn near University Hall, initiated t he everlt, a celebration marked by more music, speeches, and pleasant, heartfelt congratulations. Newly inaugurated President Gonzalez leads a concluding procession of distinguished guests, faculty and staff. San Marcos Mayor F.H. "Corky" Smith spoke of the earlier days of the campus and presented a key to the city which Gonzalez accepted on behalf of the university. Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham offered his own good wishes to Gonzalez and commended North County's only federal depository library. Francisco Gonzalez, President Gonzalez's brother, followed the distinguished political figures with a musical interlude entitled "Cuatros Milpas," which he played on the harp. Gonzalez's hard decision to leave Harvard Law School under the enormous pressure of being one of the first Mexican-Americans accepted there. One of the most poignant moments came when Professor Emeritus Elliot Aronson of the University of California, Santa Cruz, shared his recollections. President Gonzalez described Aronson a "mentor, teacher, and friend." Gonzalez eventually pursued a master's and doctoral studies in psychology at UC Santa Cruz and contributed significantly to his field. Although Gonzalez is his only student to have become president of a university* Aronson praised Gonzalez particularly as a "wonderful teacher and first-rate researcher." Aronson charted President Gonzalez's lifetime of struggle and achievement — his childhood growing up in a rough part of Los Angeles, his early days in the Air Force and then working as a truck driver before finally attending community college. CSU Chancellor Charles B. Reed made the final and official address which invested Dr. Gonzalez as the second president of the young and growing university. Gonzalez would eventually receive a history degree with honors and election to Phi Beta Kappa from Pomona College. Aronson also commended President Gonzalez expressed gratitude to his mentor, Aronson, and conveyed a sense of optimism for the next decade of Cal State San Marcos.

Should I drop one? - Michelle, 21 Oh Michelle, you call this a dilemma? You needn't "drop" anyone if you are v being open with these men. Have fun with them and enjoy their company. I assume you haven't committed yourself to a monogamous relationship with one of them, so don't worry. You should, however, be open with both of them. Besides, even if you are looking for a "serious" relationship, then you must remember that dating is like a rehearsal. You play the scene and see how it goes. How else are you supposed to decide? What if you dropped the wrong one and you never gave yourself the opportunity to rehearse with the other? Just remember that you are dating and not committed. If you choose to monogamously commit later, then you will be able to do so with confidence. Unless one of them is a total tragedy, then date them both and don't be so serious. I am amazed that you have time we meet. The fact that someone put a rod through their nose doesn't tell us much about that person anyway. You need to know that your appearance may cause a stare or a dumb remark, but that is because of others' limitations. Instead, you need to wear your pierced lip like Elizabeth Taylor wearing a fat ass diamond ring. I don't know how crazy your clothes are, but look at the designer Betsy Johnson. She sports her wild outfits like they are haute couture and you need to do the same. Please don't think that your outfits are better or worse than anyone's, just realize that they are part of your expression at that time. When clothes and appearances are taken too seri-v ously, then the whole fashion thing becomes dreadfully miserable. Refocus your energy from worrying about others' opinions and problems and f ocus on your creativity of expression. to date two men though. Don't you have projects to do? Dear Psyche Fairy, Why do you think that people have the audacity to say that they are not racist or discriminatory but will treat people who dress differently (such as facial piercings) in a discriminatory manner? Anonymous, Age 25 Hello! Haven't you heard of hypocrites?? Well, that's the type of person you have met and let me tell you, there are plenty of them out there. It's like those people who say, "oh, I am not prejudiced, I even have a friend who is black." These people are proving that they are prejudiced. If they weren't they wouldn't feel as if they needed to "prove" it by saying "look I even have a Mend who is...." You see! I must say, though, that no one is without prejudice and bias. This is a human trait which comes from the way we conceptualize things. The best we can do is to recognize our prejudices and realize that they are not applicable to the people If you have any question or comments f or the Psyche Fairy, please email them to psychefairy @ hotmail.com A Brand New CSUSM Fall 1999 Semester Cal State San Marcos enrollment is UP, and fees have gone DOWN. According to a recent report from Enrollment Services. Around 800 more students will be on campus this Fall semester over last Fall 1998. That figure increases total enrollment at our growing campus to 5,850. The fees at CSU have dropped $39.00 per semester. Additional funding from the state budget to all CSU schools has made this the second consecutive year for a decrease in school fees. In the film THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE, directed by Rand Ravich, a space mission goes horribly wrong when astronauts Spencer Armacost (Johnny Depp) and Alex Streck (Nick Cassavetes) are involved in a bizarre space accident that puts them out of communication with NASA for a full two minutes. The shuttle is brought back down to Earth and both men are unconscious. Armacost appears unhurt, but his co-pilot Streck has suffered a heart attack and later dies under questionable circumstances. Armacost's decision to retirefromflying and take an executive position at a New York City-based aerospace company is the first strange event upon his return from space. Jillian (Charlize Theron) is immediately impregnated with twins and thus begins her paranoia about her babies and her husband. He definitely isn't the man he used to be. Spencer Armacost (Depp) communicates to the extraterrestials via the radio by way of a cold, calculated, high-pitched electronic pulse. Well, that seems to be the form the aliens take in THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE. About this time, Jillian really starts to panic, she should her husband is a freak. Jillian spends the rest of the film trying to frantically figure out whether she's part of some grand master extraterrestrial plan that could end all humankind. The film plummets further away from anything great and has a quick disappointing ending to boot. Shari- This film was highly predictable and I knew everything that was goinf to happen. • Shari-What is with Johnny Depp's voice? He sounds like a cross between Elvis and John Travolta. Shari- Charlize Theron appearance was the same in all the scenes - "perfect".. .My hair and make up would have been smeared and smudged if I was crying all the time. Shari-Wait for it to come out on video, don't waste your money on this film. Mark-1 wasn't sure what the hell was going on? Mark- At least the set designs were pretty cool. Mark-One thing is for sure is that the ending did nothing for me. The script lacked a great deal of information. I 'm not a screenwriter, but it would have been nice to know who the alien is?

Leslie Zomalt, a retired faculty member of CSUSM, was also one of the founding quilters. Many of the smaller quilts showcase her beautiful work, including the "Penguin" quilt. Lest i t be thought that quilting is solely women's work, the group also includes men. Several men helped create the first quilt, including Executive Vice President Ernie Zomalt. Four years later, rights to a final signature on the quilt auctioned for $150.00. Benefits went to the Carol Cox Re-entry Women's Scholarship. Downie notes the satisfaction derived from creating a beautiful piece of craftsmanship with other members of the university. She says, "I feel so good after that hour of quilting." All are welcome to the bees, and often students, faculty, and staff sit side by side busily stitching away at a portion of a quilt.

The crosscountry team is comprised of roughly 40-50 members and began training the 24th of August under the guidance of the coaches. "A handful are from Cal State and a vast majority are transfers from J.C,'s aiid high school," says Coach Scott. As a professional athlete in track and field for 10-15 years, Coach Scott is still racing competitively at the masters level. "The one thing that I really like so far is that there's a lot of team unity. They get along with each other. These guys all come from different areas," comments Coach Scott. Take for example Amy Taylor f rom Rancho Double Sessions for North County Schools? Bernardo High School, who was also a state finalist in the hurdles, and Marcus Chandler, state champion in the mile. These are just a few of the great names on the team. " It's the people that come on that you didn't expect. Those are the ones that are really great. And we've got several of those," says Coach Scott. For example, the team leaders for women's cross-country are Rene McDonald f rom Western Colorado, and Claris Fernandez, a transfer from SDSU. In addition there are team members David Kloz, f rom the Czech Republic and Okwaro Raura, a transfer student from Palomar College, who is originally from Kenya. Raura agrees with Coach Scott's view of the team as a rich and diverse group: "All of us come from different places and as we come together you can see there's a lot of team spirit Clubs < Carnival Days & Gail Skennion PRIDE STAFF WRITER Carnival Days, sponsored by Student Residential Life, were PRIDE STAFF WRITER held on Sept. 7th through 9th in the Founder's Plaza as part of Imagine going to high school CSUSM's Welcome Week in shifts.

I never seemed to notice him before, but lately I wait for his subtle hints and flirtations with great anticipation. I am worried about breaking one of the cardinal rules of dating, however: Don't go out with someone you work with. What do you think? — Dateless and Divorced Other than telling you to keep your main focus on your children who must be the most important creatures in your life, I recommend that you forget that rule. Unless you are a volatile person (or he is) then you needn't avoid a relationship with him. I find it awfully cute that you get that "rush" from his subtle flirtations and there is a lot of richness in just those acts that we tend to ignore. It will be tricky, no doubt, to figure out what his feelings are towards you. Perhaps you can get some dinner after work and chat over a glass of Cabernet. You need to carefully assess if he is "interested" in you and pursue the relationship if he is. You can't seem aggressive at work because that could create problems. If you become friendly enough, just tell him about your feelings without any pressure—just as you expressed them to me. ^Lf he feels similarly, he will likely reciprocate with some words of encouragement for a budding relationship. That rule about not getting together with a coworker is meant for those who can't handle their emotions. Ask yourself this: could you break up with him and still remain cordial? If not, then it'd probably be best to not get involved. If yes, then the workplace is a good place to meet people. You already share something in life and perhaps more because your job may attract a particular type of person that is suited for you. Good luck and please remember that your worth as a person, mom, or whatever does not change according to your dating status. Dear Psyche Fairy, Your response to Josh in the August 30 issue of The Pride was insightful and prompts a question that has puzzled me for many years. As homosexuals are attracted to those of the same sex both mentally and physically, why are gays aroused and/or entertained when men impersonate women?—Evelyn Evelyn, this question seemed so silly to me that I wasn't sure if it is a serious curiosity. First, you must understand that there are differences between attraction, arousal, and entertainment. In terms of being entertained, my friend jokingly asks, "Am I a lesbian because I am entertained by female Ticket Erasers W Online Traffic School • Only $19.95 Owned/Operated by CSUSM Alumni Visit our Web Site or caii 800-723-1955 www.ticketerasers.com Serving the fermenting community since 1971 ; i s&f s ll s mm m G&ajts Mim* w carrfia cp^ip^^^ep^pl^c > o r o n e uw Be er S d • iifficur* tWgar oa m W Sn M«s Bv . . a ao l d 40 HH HR PRWY #1 'j * ' > ? /,. / ' ^ t 5 J C L AK A 12 r Sn Mro, C. 909 ' a ac s a 26 .

Just because gays (and lesbians...and bisexuals...and straights) are entertained by drag queens we cannot assume that they are attracted to these drag queens. Arousal, on the other hand, can be accomplished in many ways. If I blindfolded you and told you that your lover was going to pleasure you, do you think y ou'd know if I replaced this lover with myself? Since arousal is a physiological reaction to a physical stimulus, I could touch or lick you in the right places to make you feel aroused. People can be aroused by many things, trust me. Finally, attraction is not a set-in-stone type phenomenon. Haven't you ever been attracted to someone who later turns you o ff? Sometimes you want dark chocolate, the next day, mocha. Now, to get to the heart of your question, I have to shatter your image and inform you that many drag queens "go home with" straight men! Yes, some gay men are attracted to drag queens, but not most. Why do you think most gay ads contain beefcakes? Why do so many straight men pick up on drag queens? That is up to you to discover, but sometimes it represents a sexual frolic that is easily hidden from their girlfriends/wives and requires no commitment. Samantha M. Cahill Leiana S. A. Naholowaa Cynthia C. Woodward Madeleine E Marshall Staff Columnist Through this artist's paintings, we can view the hills and canyons before they were invaded by houses and shopping malls. G riffith's landscapes impart a feeling of the open air and concentrate on scenes directly from nature classifying him as a plein air painter. The impressionists, as well as the painters of the Barbizon school, made this style of painting an important dimension of their landscape work. Oceanside Museum spokesperson, Ellen Stotmeister, explained that it is not necessary to be an art expert to appreciate this collection. The viewer is immediately aware of what Griffith was try- ing to accomplish. "You don't have to sit back and contemplate this artist's intent, it is beautifully apparent,' Stotmeister said. The museum, a privately funded center at 704 Pier View Way occupies the formei Oceanside City Hall which is listed on the national Register oi Historic Places. The gallery's limited space does not allow permanent exhibits, but the Griffith collection can be viewed through November 14, Tuesday through Saturday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, and Sunday, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Admission is $3.00 f or non-members, $2.00 f or stu dents, military and seniors. Why am I, a part-time student (three hours two nights a week), required to pay the same parking, Associated Students, Recreation Program, Health Service, Health Facilities, IRA, Student Union, Student Recreation and Recreation fees as a fiill-time student? These fees total $93.1 have an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm j ob which prevents me from using most of these services because they are not available in the evening. Why am I not, at least, given a choice of whether or not I want to participate in them? When I began my night school studies at this university two years ago, it was because a degree program designed to assist the working student was promoted. In many cases what I find is the evening student is penalized because they pay in full for services that, in most cases they have no need for, but if they did, are not available to them. If Cal State San Marcos is planning to increase their part-time evening student enrollment, I vigorously suggest they modify these inequities. D EAR EDITORS: Evelyn Choroser ° N APRIL 2 2 a n d 23> 1 9 9 9 > t h e University changed its mascot from Tukwut to Cougar. The Administration arranged for the students of CSUSM to vote on their new mascot. Under the guise of fairness, Cougar was selected. The little known fact about the choices on the allegedly fair vote is that after 10 years of being the mascot of the University 'Tukwut' was NOT one of the options for mascot on the ballot. Why? Tukwut (pronounced 'too-kwoot") is apparently too difficult to pronounce. The pioneering students of this campus were given the charge of finding a mascot for the University some ten years ago. True to the Mission Statement of the University, the group of students sought a symbol that represented the cultural history and richness of the area. After spending some time researching, these students discovered that the Luiseno Tribe were the original inhabitants. In keeping with their quest to be respectful of history of the land and its people, the group of students made contact with Villana Hyde, a Luiseno Indian. This great woman had created a dictionary of Luiseno words in English. She presented the word Tukwut to the students as a gift. The word Tukwut in Luiseno means mountain lion. The students, grateful for this gift, accepted the word from Villana Hyde. By omitting Tukwut from the ballot, the administration has chosen to disregard this gift and the will of the students at CSUSM. The time has come to take a stand! While it is true that they gave the students a chance to vote for an "official" mascot, the omission of Tukwut stands as a glaring example of insensitivity and disregard for the students' rights to influence the culture and direction of their University. This is an act of injustice! In the words of one administrative official on campus, "We can change things at the University and the students wouldn't even know." Is this what we want? Do we want things to be changed at OUR University without us knowing? The time has come to take a stand! All we are asking for is the opportunity for a FAIR vote. Let's give Tukwut a fair chance on a ballot. Give the Itakwut another chance to be heard.

The Oceanside Museum of Art has opened an exhibit of William Alexander Griffith, an artist whose impressionistic style focuses on San Diego areas. Griffith is a plein air artist with works that provide a record of our region before the abundant population growth experienced during the second half of the century.

You may have noticed a special bunch of young men and women cleaning the rest rooms and emptying trash cans on campus. They are college-age special education students from Vista Unified School District here to acquire vocational training. "Janitorial skills are not what they are being taught", said director John Hull, " but skills that are needed in the workplace such as responsibility, showing up on time, and the ability to achieve their goals." Kathy DeLar assists John in the instruction of the ten developmentally delayed students. She says that some days teaching can be a challenge because of the special learning styles of each of the students. Each stu- iwmmmmm S ImHHHH m dent learns differently, essence, "it's like teaching ten different classes every day." Mr. Hull would like fellow students at CSUSM to understand that these students have the same desires as all young adults at this age, to get a job and be productive in society. In the past these young people were shut away from society. Today, due to mainstreaming in schools, they are a vital, flourishing part of our community. "Being developmentally delayed is not catching", Hull stated. When you pass one of these special students somewhere on campus, smile and say, "Hi!" It's been called the "Blockbuster Video" of GSUSM, but it's better. It's FREE. But Media Services, located in Craven 4221, is not a mini-Blockbuster, says Dannis Mitchell, Media Desk Supervisor. It has a lot more to offer than just videos. Media Services contains a wealth of resources for students and faculty. The library's collection of non-print materials includes popular movies* foreign language films in a surprising array of languages, documentaries, and closed-captioned materials for the hearing-impaired. Students can check out foreign films like Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" or Kurosawa's "Rashomon" alongside Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" trilogy. Media Services also house over 3,000 "media-controlled" videotapes, those which can only be watched in the center or taken to class for presentations. These include documentaries like the ten-volume "The History of Rock and Roll" to such programs as "Women of See Media pg. 4 Professor Vourlitis Examines Deforestation in Brazil VISTA continued from page 1 By June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER on the March 2000 General Election Ballot. The OPTIONS Committee stated that if a bond is not approved the District "must adopt double s essions," beginning September 2000. The Board listened to the r ecommendations of other community members including a r epresentative of the Vista Teachers Association, VOICE (a grassroots organization formed to petition the Board f or a bond measure), City C ouncilman Ed Estes, and n umerous citizens of Vista. All declared repeatedly that a b ond m easure would allow the district to solve the critical dilemma of over- If? li crowding. The bond measure appears revived and on October 2 8 th , the Board will meet again to decide formally whether or not to place this measure on the March ballot. Dr. George Vourlitis, ecologist and CSUSM professor, stepped into the Brazilian rain forest on Aug. 19,1999, and fulfilled a boyhood dream. He and his collaborators from Universid Federal de Mato Grosso were there to conduct documented research on the effects of deforestation. Most of us have read how "It is thought that destruction of the rain forest causes global warming." This hypothesis has been floating around for most of our lives in print and media, and yet no one has proven it. The opportunity came for Vourlitis two years ago when he read a NASA solicitation for proposals to do the study. A US proposal would need strong Brazilian cooperation and collaboration to ensure a successful outcome. Through email communication with ecologists living in or near rain forests, Vourlitis found the scientists in the Mato Grosso area fitted the specific NASA recommendations. They were willing to travel to the United States at their own expense to learn the necessary methods and technology. This begins with the conversion of land to agriculture, then to pasture, and the subsequent return to New Forest growth. Land conversion is hypothesized to be a major contributor See Vourlitis pg. 4 �4 Monday, September 13. 1999 MEDIA continued from pg. 3 S IM M AICIS I0tr A i m m m OPEN H IISE N O T O 8: 00PM SATURDAY, S P E B R 18.1999 ON ETME The event is free and open to the public.

This particular phase will end on Feb. 2, 2000. While NASA was unable to fund the research at this time, Vourlitis was commended by Michael Keller, chair of the NASA LB A (Large-scale Biosphere Atmospheric) experiment, who told him the study was badly needed by the space agency. He asked Vourlitis to submit the proposal again. Not wanting to wait any longer, Vourlitis and his fellow scientists decided to solicit seed money for the project.

Imagine a world without the migratory birds that breed in the tropics but raise their young in the U.S. Birds are natural predators of those insect pests that can ruin crops and other vegetation. Large amounts - of water also cycle through the tropics.

Recordings include world music from Nepal, Thailand, India, Aboriginal Australia, and Greece. A large Frank Zappa collection stands on the same rack as Igor Stravinsky and Selena Rock, pop, country, classical, jazz, blues, and international music can be played in-house or taken home. Students may check out a maximum of two C D's and two videos for a period of one week, with no renewals. The Media Library also has individual listening and viewing stations for those who prefer to sample their media on-site. A collection of slides, mostly images of art and architecture, is in the midst of a cataloguing project, and will be available for students to use next semester. The Media Library also has equipment available for checkout, such as laser light pointers, portable slide projectors and overhead projectors, CD and cassette players, portable PA systems, VHS camcorders (with faculty signature) and tripods. Did the school go to all this trouble just to entertain the students? Actually, Mitchell says, all of the materials are purchased "with curriculum in mind." She estimates that twothirds of the collection consists of academic material. So when you drop by the Media Center to see what it has to offer, remember, it's for your education.

The cry for democracy and independence was commemorated on campus Thursday, September 16, during noon hour in front of the Dome. Alongside ASF's cookout and players strategizing over a game of chess, Ballet Folklorico Mixtlan and M.E.Ch.A (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) provided music, regional dances of Mexico, and poetry to a cheery and relaxed audience of students, faculty and staff. Members of Ballet Folklorico, a group which began at CSU San Marcos in 1998, are often seen practicing outside the third floor of Craven Hall. The white dance costumes reflect the styles of the tropical Veracruz region of Mexico. It is a region whose beat is said to resemble the waves of the ocean. Colorful dresses with bright ribbons worn by other dancers identify dancers of the Jalisco region whose musical accompaniment is the Mariachi. The "Jarabe Tapatio" was performed by students Victor Vasquez and Lili Rodriguez, a duo on and off stage. Widely known as the National Dance of Mexico, the "Jarabe Tapatio" was originally influenced by Asian culture about 300 years ago. "La Negra," an all-women dance, showed off the beauty of costume, spirit, and movement found within so many other aspects of Mexican culture. Jose Servin, the group's dance instructor from Mexico City, has been dancing now for six years. Servin spoke of such instruments as the harp, Inter-Club Council Kicks Off By Trevor Knudsen "Jarana," the guitar-like "Requinto Jarocho" from the Jalisco region and described the culture of the rural Tixla-Guerrero region. Mexican Independence Day signifies a continuous call to overcome struggle. Three centuries of Spanish rule, 1521-1821, would not have ended if it had not been for many great Mexican figures including Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. The "founding father" of the Mexican independence cause, Hidalgo rallied the Mexican people in the town of Dolores in 1810. Himself a "Criollo" (Spaniard born in Mexico), Hidalgo was decapitated by the "Gachupines," the ruling Spaniards born in Spain. Hidalgo's famous speech "El Grito de Dolores" is recreated every year on the night before Mexican-American Celebration of Mexican Culture Mexican Independence Day by the President of Mexico. What began in 1810 would continue for eleven more years of fighting across not just Mexico but the whole of Latin America. How do students keep a connection with Mexican culture? Sonia Gutierrez, a CSUSM alumna, described these kinds of events as First Annual Child Trot Fest PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Inter-Club Council (ICC) held its first meeting on Friday, September 10. At the meeting, Dean Manship, the new ICC chairman, said that the primary purpose of the ICC is to improve campus life. After introductions, the bulk of the meeting involved deciding the policy details of approving funding for club-sponsored events. Since the student fee referendum passed, the ICC now has a budget from Associated Students Inc. (ASI) of $50,000 to fund club- sponsored events. With this budget increase, the ICC now has more potential to support clubs, provide entertainment and services for students, and help create more student involvement on campus. Beyond simply funding club events, the Inter-Club Council is also a forum for clubs to work together and exchange ideas. It meets every other Friday at 1:30 in Commons 206 to discuss new ideas, take care of ICC administration, and approve event funding. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride On September 25, 1999, the Associated Students Incorporated of California State University, San Marcos will be having "The First Annual Child Trot Fest". The event will begin at 9:00 am and will continue through 12 noon. Participating children range from two through five years of age. These children and their parents will face the challenge of walking as many laps around the Olympic University Track as possible. The funds raised will provide financial support for needed classroom equipment, classroom supplies and playground equipment for the ASI Early Learning Center. The Associated Students, Inc., California State University, San Marcos, Early Learning Center (ASI Early Leaning Center) is a non-profit child development center serving 100 families (primarily university student parents) with children ages two to five years of age. The mission of the ASI Early Learning Center is to provide an enriched educational program that promotes selfesteem and creativity as well as social, emotional, cognitive and physical growth through hands-on experience. The ASI Early Learning Center is asking for contributors willing to Sponsor a child to walk. Pledges begin at $10 and the goal is to have each child raise $100.00.

This first meeting is a careful dance where you have to j udge how she responds to you.

The dispatcher is available 24/7 and he/she will decide what is an emergency. Lt. Glen of the campus police has stressed the importance of using this number only in the case of a legitimate emergency such as injury, fire, or other such life-threatening situations in which a family member off campus needs to be able to reach a student. Calling the number to ask a student to "stop off after class and get milk" is NOT an emergency!! Please instruct fam ily members accordingly.

Because of our new track, the university could host an event such as the Cougar Chase, a fivekilometer course to either walk or run. Mazario Romaro, a San Marcos resident, won the 5K race. His running time was 14:55. When asked about the race he said, "It was a fun course and I loved the race." He said that he could have run a longer race in San Diego, but he chose to support CSUSM. Romaro trained for the Cougar Chase by running fifty tofifty-fivemiles per week.

The planners failed to take into account another important local community function scheduled for the same day—Escondido's Grape Day Parade, an event that drew thousands, While the lawn area just outside University Hall was occupied by more entertainers than spectators, the downtown area of Escondido was filled with people, leading many to the conclusion that it wasn't just the weather that kept people away A woeful turnout marred last Saturday's Tenth Anniversary Open House. The campus was blighted by cloudy skies, the threat of a few raindrops, and a minuscule number of people in attendance. Joyfully decorated tents housed local community organizations, food vendors, and several stages from which music and dance were performed. Unfortunately, the aromatic smell of food, the sound of music, and the sight of skilled dancers tickled the senses of far too few. what the beauty of the Spanish language means to him, "[It is] the way it is used by its people." As the late afternoon approached, and the few people who were in attendance began to leave, the blues sounds of Jimmy and Jeannie Cheatham and the Sweet Baby Blues Band played several pieces. Finally, an early dusk fell over the almost vacant lawn as the Latin Jazz sounds of Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band played to close what should have been a grand event for the campus and the community. ?s Finishing second with a time of 15:00, was the head coach Steve Scott.

SANDAG allocated the partial state funding for the project, CSUSM and the City of San Marcos lobbied for the additional funds to get the improvements done, Cal Trans set the scheduling, Weir Construction will build the bridges and freeway ramps, and the utility companies like Vallecitos Water District, San Diego Gas and Electric, and Cox Cable are all involved in various steps of the project. "It's like a marriage," said Valdez, "You have your good days and you have your bad days... but it all works out in the end." He added, "those guys at Cal Trans are some pretty sharp cats." road approaching the 78 funneled into one lane. Marie Stewart, Program Director for he ASI CSUSM Early Learning Center, had a front row seat for the inaction. "Pretty much the first day of classes we went out and—boom--saw one lane." Members of the CSUSM community who utilize the center's child care facilities were forced to avoid the traffic by parking at the neighboring Power Surge Cafe and then walking their children the remaining yards to the center along the sidewalk adjacent to the traffic. Commuters who use Twin Oaks Valley Road as their vital link to the freeway system felt the first three weeks of September creep along at a snail's pace when the section of Fortunately that has all changed, albeit temporarily. The barriers have recently rescinded and the turn lane for east-bound 78 has been re-opened. Earlier, when the lane closure caused the traffic to be at its. worst, Russell Decker, CSUSM's Director of Planning, _ Design and Construction, voiced the complaints of the university to the officials at the City of San Marcos. Decker refused to take credit for re-opening the road, saying simply, "I just added our names to the list of complaints already fielded by Cal Trans and the City of San Marcos." Decker emphasized that the University and the City of San Marcos "have a fantastic relationship; couldn't be better," adding that he and Alan Schuler, the city's Chief Engineer, hold two or three informal meetings a month just to keep each other informed of the rapid growth of the university and its host city. f PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride �Dear Editors: Thank you for printing Ramon Nava s letter. It is very important to have this discussion about the Tukwut. Our campus needs to seriously question whether or not it is performing an act of cultural insensitivity. ? If there is no guilt on the part of our university, fine. Then only an explanation is owed to the students about why we were kept in the dark about the mascot's previous name. However, if our university is found guilty of cultural insensitivity, then we need to know who wanted the change in mascot, why they wanted it, and how they went about their agenda for change. Most importantly, we need to know why the wonderful, culturally relevant story behind the Tukwut was kept a secret from the students both before and during the election. Maybe it is the case that whoever wanted the mascot changed simply was not aware of the Tukwut's significance. Wouldn't they then be innocent? No, just guilty of something else—not' taking our student elections seriousi. y If someone puts an issue on the ballot without carefully investigating its meaning and history, then s/he is sloppy or crafty. Either way, the person is assuming that the students aren't critical enough to eventually realize what has been done. Either way, they are assuming that students will not hold them accountable. Either way, they are assuming that students will not demand an explanation. Hmmm. . .our university's elections are sounding more and more like our state elections! Remember Prop. 209? There have been stories that the Tukwut (pronounced 'tookwoot) is indeed too difficult to pronounce. I don't buy that. I don't think pronouncing Tukwut is any bit as difficult as, say, getting across that bridge on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Orfindinga parking space here. Or being able to quickly get all the resources we need from our huge library's collection. No, I don't think that Tukwut is too difficult for CSUSM students to pronounce. Anyone who believes that it is too difficult for us is greatly underestimating our abilities. Another rumor I have heard floating around is that we had to change our mascot, for marketability. After all, we have a growing sports program to consider now, and it just won't do to have Tukwut as our mascot. We must change it to something more marketable. That way we can sell more shirts and cups and then be: why does our mascot have to be an American/English word in order for it to be tough or powerful? Isn't a mountain lion just as powerful, tough and admirable if it is named in American English or Luiseno? Don't get me wrong. I believe To say that it isn't would be very that sports programs are one of much in the tradition of our the best things that have hap- country's role as colonizer. pened to our school for a long time.

Dear Editors: From the car to class to the car, CSUSM's dilemma: WHERE is the campus community? Dear Editors: This university has become known for its use of groups, such as the Senior Experience program, to educate and expand the minds and views of its students. Additionally, the university also promotes diversity and acceptance regardless of race, gender, or religion by allowing the presence of the many different clubs on campus. With the passing of the fee referendum, the InterClub Council will have a I am delighted to see that you are speaking out about the torture that occurs at CSUSM. I have been a student enough years to truly experience the meaning behind CSUS&M. I have found it very frustrating dealing with the poorly planned and managed systems, such as admissions and parking, that plague students every day. It has come to the point that I will ask different people, who work for CSUS&M, the same question to attempt to get to the truth. Usually the third time around proves to be somewhat correct. It is also a shame that the administration at Cal State San Marcos does not fully appreciate and utilize the talented staff that work for them. There are some of the brightest and innovative people working for them, who could easily improve things, and yet they are not used. I think it is time that the administration realizes that what students encounter on a daily basis is ****. Without a good interface with the student, there might as well be no University at all. Keep up the good work. Keep telling the truth. Matt Thomas Dear Editors: The administration of this school ponders this very question as you read this article. Why is it that there is no "community" feel to this campus? The same reasons why a student can sit in a class with another student for three semesters and never know their name. We are a microwave generation not willing to learn or explore inner insights if it isn't warmed and consumed within fifteen minutes. What ever happened to achieving higher education for self-betterment? We moan and complain about diversity being pushed, about the writing requirements, about the students, about the smart system, about the parking, and the not-so-predictable Dome food. Too lazy to meet someone new, but plenty of zeal to cry and whimper about how the professor was not clear. To say this lightly, we the students could care less about the school or about each other. We respond to this dilemma with a smug, "it is a commuter school." We the commuters are through with any personal growth or sharing of our lives with people. We are older and wiser, so our redneckism is too late in its diagnosis to heal. We want our degrees and our money so we can get the respect and the brand new bigger than ever "Expedition." Leave the people-loving, tree-hugging, open-minded liberals up North in the Bay area where they belong. The only thing diverse we want is our wardrobe from "Nordstroms." JJPatmon Dear Editors, My name is La Brace Eaton II and I am the manager of Cougar's Corner Convenience on the CSUSM campus. I am writing to you in regards to your distasteful cartoon that ran in the September 20th copy of your newspaper. The newspaper is referred to as the "Pride," yet showed no pride whatsoever in CSUSM by running that disrespectful comic. I am unsure what the point was of running such a cartoon in the school newspaper. The cartoon in essence may have been funny to some people, but is it really the message you want to send to students, facultypand community at CSUSM? Being funny doesn't make it right. I hope that in the future you at the Pride show a little bit more pride and respect for your school and not print such filth.

All students who are interested in becoming a member of the ASI CSUSM cheer squad should contact Cherine Heckman in the Office of Admissions and Records in Craven Hall 5115. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride "Cheering is not about wearing a skirt," stressed Coach Groom. "If you come to my practice, expect to work hard. It's going to be very, very physical." Coach Groom, a three-time Collegiate National Champion in multiple divisions, brings ten years of cheering experience. He has been a member of two of the three "power-house" schools in Collegiate Cheering: Morehead State University and University of Louisville in Kentucky. Groom has also coached high school cheer squads to National Championship titles. Groom's interest in cheering began after a shoulder injury temporarily sidelined his football career. In college he realized he wasn't big enough to play college football and found his athleticism challenged through cheering. "Some of the best guys [on the squads] comefroma football program," said Groom, emphasizing that cheering is not a girl-only sport. "Ideally we'd like to have at least 10 guys on the squad." Only three males attended the meeting. instant recall Advisor Heckman served as Cheer Squad Advisor for TRACK continued from page 1 was a IK race held for children ages twelve and under. There were approximately forty children in the race, including a ten-month-old baby who peacefully slept on his mother's chest while she walked the two laps for him. After the races Bob Mangrum was honored in an awards ceremony by the unveiling of a plaque engraved with his name. The plaque was a thank-you for his enormous generosity and support for the CSUSM track facility, Mangrum was so touched by the sentiment that tears came to his eyes. Mangrum is from Valley Center, and describes running as his "passion." He felt that it was important for CSUSM to have a track, so that others may share in his favorite pastime.

Words fail me, seeming contrived. Affection such as holding, kissing, or making love is only the beginning of the depths of what I know to be inside me for the object of my thoughts. The feelings, longings, desires, need, respect, admiration, devotion and want for the person I hold dear would make them, for lack of a better term, happier about themselves. To realize, for better or worse, someone cared and wished only the best, yet these declarations may be overwhelming by the sheer intensity and appear trivialized to what is in my heart. I believe we all withhold our true selvesfromone another on many levels in many ways, but would hope somewhere, somehow to make the connection - and make it in a positive, meaningful, and profound way. Give me a way, a method, the words, for I am at a loss and my beloved deserves true kinship. Sign me, "Sincerely Sincere" Dear Sincerely Poetic, I was greatly entranced by your message, as I feel akin to this experience of longing. I doubt anyone can satisfactorily answer your question, so I will be bound to provide only my opinions. First, I don't think that there qEfte ffirtbe Arts & Entertainment is one sole best way to express intimacy. Not only do people find intimacy in different experiences, but also at different times, intimacy can be appreciated in different ways. This is what I like to refer to as the emotional-cognitive dance between humans. Finding that experience whereby both (or more) can be absorbed in the feeling of intimacy is quite special and not easy to discover. For instance, your loved one may not be "in the mood" for intimacy in any form. Remember, I am not talking about mere physical affection and sex here. Even words may fall on deaf ears sometimes. Hie ultimate act of intimacy is to understand the other in their place at that moment. Just knowing that the other is not open to that intimacy at that time is an act of intimacy on your part. Words are contrived, but what isn't? Words are symbolic and since our minds are representational, words can be a great means to achieving an end. Even when sex is used as a form of intimacy it is dependent upon the people to see it as such. We are frequently mistaken to assume that physical affection is the pinnacle of intimacy. For a porn star, sex is a job; for a writer, words can be just work; for a psychologist listening is a career; for a chef, cooking is a profession. It is the intention behind these behaviors which makes them intimate. Here again, you must think of the other: does the person resemble the adorer of Cyrano or Annie Sprinkle. Some people are more affected by words than others and you need to know this to know if words will be effective. Actions can also be powerfully intimate. I have had friends do little things/favors for me (from their own volition) which I found incredibly intimate, especially when the favor arrives at just the right moment. These actions can be deeply intimate. Find out these things and perhaps you can express your intimacy in that way. If the other is open and experimental enough, you may approach the situation as a regular negotiation. Approach the person saying you'd like to experience this intimacy and see if you can both devise a way to put each other "in the mood." This may likewise be contrived, but it might just work! You might be thinking that some of these "methods" seem too one-sided and self-contained. Well, unfortunately, that will be mostly true. You see, I understand your desire to commune with someone in such a way that your experiences meld into one. As if you were the same, sharing perspectives, thoughts, and emotions. Oh how I wish this could be true! Sadly, our ability to imagine beyond our capacities often leads us to feeling empty andfrustrated.If this is the connection that you wish for, I can say it will exist mostly in your imagination. Our thoughts are usually fragmented See FAIRY pg. 6 by Cindy Tagliapietra Ifyou could change anything in the cafeteria what would it be? Reviewed by: Cynthia C. Woodward • ^^ Quirky character study meets Disney magic in Touchstone Pictures' Mumford. A quirky story line, wonderful cameo performances, and surprising movie-within-a-movie camera work saves Mumford from the sugary bog of boy-meets-girl Hollywood movies. For the cynical, I've-seen-'em-all moviegoer, who still has a sneaking love for feel-good movies and happy endings, Mumford works. The movie works best when it appeals to the voyeur in all of us. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist. His patients troop in and out of his office, always more than willing to tell him the intimate details of their secret lives. As Dr. Mumford gets to know his patients, so does the viewer, From the sleazy small time lawyer (Martin Short), to the how-did-I-get-so-rich-and-famous modem mogul (David Paymer), the characters reveal themselves with both hilarious and touching results. Part of the fun is the viewer's (and Dr. Mumford's) realization that keeping and telling secrets is what being human is all about. Hie cast gives remarkable performances across the board; not one character rings untrue. Not surprisingly, Martin Short turns a stock sleazy-lawyer character into a brilliantly funny cameo. More surprising, perhaps, is the equally brilliant performance by Ted Danson, who gives new meaning to the word "jerk" (replace with any applicable synonym). Other good performances include Alfre Woodard as the understanding neighbor with secret yearnings, and Mary McDonnell as the unfulfilled wife and mother. The movie does have some shortcomings. One almost isn't a shortcoming at all. The characters are so interesting, and the performances so good, that you are left wanting more. The other problem is more serious. Mumford's charms include a distinctive story line and out-of-the-ordinary film sequences. Both give way to a conventional, Disney-style wrap up at the end. Nevertheless, I recommend Mumford. Even cynics like me enjoy a good boymeets-girl movie now and then on Date Night. Rated "R" for language and sexual situations. Lettau Dazzles in Noontime Concert June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER Jazz/Brazilian singer Kevyn Lettau wowed both followers and newcomers alike with her unique range of vocal renditions during a noon concert on the Dome patio area on Tuesday, September 21,1999. Lettau was accompanied by Peter Sprague, renowned writer, teacher, and recording guitarist, Bob Magnusson on the bass, and Duncan Moore on the drums. Raised in Germany by her single mother, Lettau left home at the age of fifteen and set out to make her fortune. While supporting herself by cleaning houses, she discovered the singing voice that would someday make her one of the most recognized stylists in the jazz world. Her style comesfroman exposure to the works of Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, A1 Jarreau, Charlie Parker, Donny Hathaway, and other great recording artists. She assimilated the inventions of jazz improvisation into a vocal approach that was pure, soulful, and uniquely her own. After touring and recording with Sergio Merides for eight years, Lettau incorporated Brazilian sounds into her contemporary pop singing and set out on her solo career. While she has won critical acclaim for her records and albums in the United States and abrpad, she has almost reached superstar status in Japan and the Philippines. She says of her work, "Every record is different, because I am always growing, expanding and changing."

BROTHERHOOD ON CAMPUS Victoria B. Segall Adra Hallford PRIDE WRITER STAFF PRIDE WRITER STAFF ...Such is the advice of Mary Atkins, the CSUSM Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator. Computing is an essential of scholarship at this university, though when a paper is due in 15 minutes, the computer cannot read the disk, and the pay-forprint station won't work, it's easy to feel like life itself hangs in the balance. Being acquainted with the computing labs may offset this stress and save your grades. According to Ms. Atkins, knowing what labs are available and when labs are busy can give students a measure of computing safety. Often students visit the main computer lab in ACD 202, see that all of these computers are taken, and walk away. They do not realizing that the nearly 100 computers in ACD 202 and ACD 204 represent less than a 1/4 of the 439 machines available to students!

Someone who encouraged you when you were feeling not your best? Someone, who doesn't necessarily give you answers, but heads you down the right road to finding them? Someone who is present when you need them, if only to sit and chat, or do nothing at all? Here at CSUSM I am fortunate to have such a person in my life. Her name is Dr. Cynthia Chavez Metoyer (Pronounced MET-TOY-YAY, its French). As part of the Faculty Mentoring Program here at CSUSM, Dr. Metoyer has been a mentor to many students since coming on board in 1994. She was initially recruited by two of • •- her students her very first semester here. Because of the natural mentoring relationship that had begun between them, they requested that she become part of the formal program. Dr. Metoyer agreed and has been doing it ever since. Each semester, students who are accepted into the program are assigned a mentor. Throughout the school year the relationship may take on many different characteristics. Some proteges only seek out their mentors for academic advisement, some for counseling and support, and still others develop friendships that continue well after graduating, from CSUSM. Currently there are 67 mentors and 57 students participating in ? - •••- • • - - - - •• ' .-- the program and it is still growing. The program offers various events, lectures, and social gatherings for the mentors and proteges to attend. In Greek mythology, Mentor was Odysseus' trusted friend and counselor, and his son Telemachus' teacher, advisor, and surrogate father. He provided the boy with guidance, support and love. The mentoring program here at CSUSM believes that mentors are an important factor in the student's success. Designed to increase the retention of students, who may be at risk of dropping out of the university, it seeks out low income and first generation S ee MENTOR p g. 7 When you hear the words "Greek Life," what images come to mind? Do you picture scenes from "Animal House," like John Belushi in a toga, chugging a beer? Or are you completely oblivious to fraternities and couldn't care less about GreekLife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious because members of these clubs may be your close friends, students in your classes, or future co-workers. Would you ever guess that Troy Aikman and President William McKinley were Sigma Alpha Epsilon brothers, or that Elvis and Ronald Reagan were Tau Kappa Epsilon brothers? Here on campus the presence of Greek organizations, academic and social, are steadily growing and attracting many students. American students were the creators of the first Greek-Letter Fraternities. It all began when the Declaration of Independence was introduced to America in 1776. Revolutionary ideas began to spread like wildfire across America and many college students wished to discuss revolutionary ideas. However, because of British rule, such discussions were prohibited. As a result, college students created the first fraternities in America where college students were able to discuss revolutionary ideas in secrecy. Some of the secrecy in the fraternities included secret handshakes, oaths, and Greek mottoes. Centuries have passed, and now the numbers of fraternities have spread to more than sixty fraternities over sixty colleges in the U.S. and Canada (Delta Sigma Phi National Manual). Of the 60 colleges in the U.S. and Canada, CSUSM is one of the campuses that have academic and social Greek organizations. The academic honor societies deal with students who have excelled in areas that deal with their majors. For example, PSI CHI, one of many honor societies on The men interested in joining campus, is an honor society with one of the two social fraternities an emphasis on psychology. take part in "Rush Week."

"That's one of the things that impresses people about joining a fraternity. Career connections," says Dean Manship, president of SAE. Dean has obtained two jobs through networking in the year-and-a-half that h^ has been in SAE. Companies like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and UPS have presidents and CEOs* who were fraternity brothers. As a result, many of the present members can benefit by acquiring well paying jobs when they join fraternities. http://www.personallaserclinic.com i iyk&Mtm pwgmmtt . It i$ no secret that there are stereotypes surrounding fraternities and sororities. For example, fraternity members may be referred to as "party animals," "keggers," or have other labels. However, is that really what fraternities are about? Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) and Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) are two of the social fraternities on campus that promote brotherhood and philanthropy. It turns out that one of the primary reasons men join SAE and TKE on campus are for the friendships. Many people enter CSUSM not knowing anyone. So SAE and TKE fraternity members take the initiative to recruit incoming freshmen and other men to join their fraternities. For example, Charles Matanane, a sophomore, has been a member of SAE for two years and says, "When I came here, I didn't know much of anybody, now I've got 50 people that I know." Juan "Buddha" Ibarra, also a sophomore, has been a member of TKE for two years and recalls when the TKEs introduced themselves to him as a freshman: "TKEs seemed excited about me, really friendly, really outgoing, but they also stressed a lot of brotherhood. I saw what they did, I saw how close they were to each other, and I really liked that whole family thing."

The group was formed to help keep young people off the streets. Ballet Folklorico Cristo Rey consists of both older and younger performers who all enjoy their roles in the program. They were very pleased to be invited to CSUSM because it gave the younger dancers some exposure to a university environment. Just that morning they had performed at the Great Bay competition and had been awarded the Best in Showmanship. . Wearing a variety of authentic Mexican costumes and performing dances from several regions of Mexico, audience and dancers alike enjoyed an entertaining afternoon.

The the CSUSM Open House show encore was .made without music helped enhance an already festive with the dancers using only their mood. Leiana Naholowaa Perhaps the premature expectations I built before seeing this film caused such deep disappointment. Lucie Aubrac turned out to be everything you would be looking for in a yuppie movie and nothing that truly captures, for me, the emotions of a time period. Based on a true story, Lucie Aubrac takes the viewer on a soap opera history lesson of World War II France. Fans of French film might remember its writer/director Claude Berri who directed such films as Germinal, Jean de Florette, and Manon des Sources (Manon of the Springs). With Berri once again is Daniel Auteuil ('Raymond'), who had played Ugolin in Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources. But how can a film based on one woman's autobiographical account go so wrong? The key lies at the beginning of the movie, before the stunt show action begins. A message flashes that the following is based on a true story but for the purpose of dramatic effect, da, da, da, certain liberties have been taken, or something like that. I call it a yuppie film because it's a little bit more than a Date Movie in that it contains noble elements that both guys and chicks would totally appreciate. The violent action scenes are fantastic. Lucie Aubrac begins with a spectacular explosion and ends with a sappy romantic happy ending—whoops, sorry to kill the ending for you, but it's as if Berri hunted down something so formulaic. There's plenty of melodrama and prison beatings to go around, to be sure, that would entice any movie fan out th^re. But jumping out of your seat and racing to, the door for sprpe fresh air as sqon as The End finally arrives has always physically Been a bad sign. Don't get me wrong. Everyone sees things differently, and so perhaps you may find Carole Bouquet's performance as 'Lucie' quite convincing. No rating system—this film opened Friday, September 24, at Landmark's Hillcrest Cinemas— which you have to admit, is at least one good sign.

Under the baton of Robert Gilson, the orchestra's Music Director, aspiring musicians from the crowd had an opportunity to conduct the ninety-piece orchestra as well as 'sit in' with the players of the different instruments. Those who participated received helpful hints from the director and proved to be good sports even though they weren't too sure about their ability to conduct. The fear and trepidation of the volunteers was felt by the mem- bers of the good-natured audience who could only imagine how scary it would be to stand on the podium infrontof 90 pairs of well-trained eyes. Dr. Merryl Goldberg originated the fun idea. The orchestra has provided orchestral training to young, gifted musicians for more than forty years. Affiliated with Palomar College and the Community Music School at SDSU, the orchestra holds rehearsals in San Diego, South Bay, and North County to provide access for all San Diego youngsters. The Orchestra has toured Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. JUNE HODGES / The Pride (ACCESS), "There's a very high dropout rate. We're trying to open their eyes to the opportunities they can have if they stay in school and do well." The program will gather approximately 100 students from local reservations and from urban environments. They will hear presentations on how to apply to college, what the college experience is like and learn skills that make the path to success in college easier. The program is intended to encourage the students to attend college, whether at CSUSM or another institution. A feature of the program will be commentsfromKristie Orosco, a CSUSM junior who visited the campus in 1992 and 1993 as a member of some of the first CAMP groups. Orosco said she will share her experiences, some of the challenges she faced and how she advises the students to overcome the obstacles to college. "I'll tell them how important it is that everyone become educated so we will be able to stand up for our tribes. I want them to know that they have support -— once they get beyond high school, there are networks of people who are willing to help," she added.

This discussion then becomes entirely philosophical and I won't go there now. So, you may come to those random moments when you are "in synchrony" with the other, but that is about as amazing as it gets. We are limited, always. (Some people go into trances/rituals or use drugs to try to get beyond these limitations, however.) Don't despise your limitations because there is nothing you can really do about it. You need to try to work with those limits and find out how you can best stimulate that synchrony of thought and emotion between you and your loved one. There isn't a specific formula; it depends on the person AND the time whether intimacy will be found in actions, conversations, or kisses. Finding this will reside in understanding the person. This lucky person for whom you care so deeply must be understood as (s)he is in that moment. This will take great awareness, compassion, and openness. My sincerest hopes go to you infindingthat intimacy and enrichment that you dearly seek. .

As president of SAE, Dean also says, "We need to look good on campus, because right off the bat a lot of people have negative stereotypes about fraternities." Many fraternities have been viewed as negative institutions in the past. News coverage of Scott Krueger, the MIT freshman student who died last September because of alcohol poisoning when he rushed the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, brought much controversy. Even though SAE and TKE say that hazing does not occur in their fraternities, breaking down stereotypes of social fraternity life is a problem. One TKE brother admits that there may be members who could work on their maturity level and that they could take on more responsibilities. However, the majority of the brothers is mature and responsible and does believe in the brotherhood and philanthropy that theirfraternitiesstand for. "If you go into any group of guys, you're going to have a few you're not going to like. But to knock down the whole fraternity because of one person just isn't right," says Mike. The fraternity members do admit that they party,' they are social organizations, but they also say there is a lot more to their fraternities than just partying, like the community work they do. TKE brother, Mike, says that his favorite TKE volunteer activity is "I'm Going To College," an event that takes place every semester with ASI. In this event fourthgraders from schools all across San Diego County have the chance to visit the University campus. Last year the kids played with the computers, sat in police cars, sang songs with TKE brothers, and engaged in many other activities. The whole goal is for these children to catch a glimpse into college life, in hopes that they will take the initiative and go to college when they are older. The TKEs also helped out with Special Olympics and the "Child Trot." SAE has also done its share of community service, like tutoring at a charter school in Oceanside, canned-food drives for the holidays, holding book bags every year for the Campus Book Store, and fundraisers for St. Claire's Battered Women's Shelter in Escondido. Some of the other volunteer services that both fraternities share include cleaning up the Early Learning Center, and tutoring at San Marcos Middle School and High filfe MENTOR continued pg. 5 college students for placement in the program. Dr. Metoyer says, "A student is going to stay because they feel they are connected here.. .a place where they not only get their degree, but if there are bumps along the way, they have a person they can turn to." My own experience has given me a sense of belonging here. I do feel connected. I encourage all students, even those who may not School. It turns out that there may be more to the fraternity brothers than the stereotypical images portrayed in movies and the media. They are not solely about partying and socializing; they are also about community service and creating a sense of brotherhood on campus. Buddha, a literature and writing major, has some advice for people who may stereotype fraternities, "Don't have preconceived notions. A lot of people are like, 'You're just a frat guy, you're just a frat guy.' No—I'm somebody's brother." fit the criteria for the Faculty Mentoring Program, to seek out a Mentor.

Karl Griley, a Freshman Business Administration major and an Associate Member of TKE, stated that they had come out in force because TKE wants to, "aid in the growth and development of the children for the future." Secondyear active member of TKE, Jon Teofilo, a Sophomore Sociology major, summed up the significance of the event this way: "We wanted to come out here and show the kids a good time. It is important for us to be out here because the community and school can see not just TKE, but all of the Greek and other student organizations getting involved. This accentuates the growth of the school. As the school grows, the organizations should also. This event shows that that is happening."

ICC may soon have $60,000.00 to help sponsor club events for the academic year. There were at least thirty in attendance, representing over twenty clubs on campus. At ICC meetings the clubs on campus have a chance to discuss what is happening on campus, and the progress of the activities that each club is holding.Clubs may request money for any given event, but this amount is not guaranteed. The bulk of the funding allotted to clubs is to sponsor on-campus events. Club days are those days when clubs are on the quad promoting their activities. The days have been decided: they will be on October: 4th - 8th, and 18th - 22nd; November: I st - 5th, and 15th - 19th; December 6th 10th. Finals week is December 13th - 18th, and there are plans to give the student lounge a "coffee house" setting. The next ICC meeting is October 8th in University Hall, room 373 at 1:30 p.m. CSUSM Student Teachers Lead Local Science Fair By Kraig Kemp Student teachers from cohort B2 of the Multiple Subjects Credential program took part in the Richland Elementary School Science Fair in San Marcos on Thursday, September 23. Their mission was to make learning science fun as they involved children in hands-on science lessons. Several fourth and fifth grade classrooms participated in the event organized by Dr. Kathy Norman, CSUSM College of Education Professor. The lesson topics included one led by student teachers Sony a Foster and Dawn German, in which a laser light, a mirror, and a radio are used to prove that sound travels as a wave that can be captured and seen. The cohort made sure that the children were exposed to a great diversity of hands-on activities. The children expressed much joy for the event in thank-you letters and they had wanted the student teachers to come back soon.

A few weeks ago, as I was preparing to leave campus, I found out that my car battery was dead. I called Public Safety to ask them for a jump since they had done this for me last semester. The dispatcher's response was that they now charged a fee for this service. I would not have minded if the fee were $5 or $10, but I was informed that it would be $20 to $25 ! According to them this fee was due to a liability issue because car batteries had accidentally been blown up in the past. Other universities, such as UCSD, provide this and other car trouble services without charging students additional fees. One would think that amidst all of the fees included in the cost of attending CSUSM (such as the $64 parking permit), that some portion would go towards making these types of services available to students—free of charge! Needless to say, I refused to pay thisridiculousamount and found someone to help me—two hours later. It worries me to think that students, especially those attending evening classes, may encounter a similar dilemma and not have the recourses to get themselves out of the situation. We students can barely pay for our parking permit, some not at all . .. AV DEAR EDITORS: After reading the article "Brotherhood on Campus" in last week's Pride, I was a bit peeved. I realize that Victoria B. Segail was focusing on the all-male Greek social fraternities, but it would have been nice if a little bit more was said about all - the academic Greek societies (academic and social). In regard to all the community service that S AE has supposedly done the author is mistaken about the book bag holding for the campus Book Store. This activity is not community service because S AE gets paid $1,000.00 for providing this service. I won't bet my check on this, but I 'm pretty sure that SAE doesn't spend the $1,000.00 on funding the homeless but instead spends it on whatever secret s tuff— PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE The Pride intends to feature Academic and Women's Greek organizations in future issues. Please be patient, the feature article is forthcoming. CSUS&M Cartoon Was Fallacious By Mike Spangler I saw the cartoon in the September 20th issue ofThe Pride, a ndl read the letters to the editor in its September 27th issue. I am amazed that no apology, retraction, or correction was printed, and, in this instance, I am ashamed to call myself a Pride staff writer. I cannot tolerate viewing inaccuracies published with such reckless abandon, and I feel that I must speak out in critical com-| mentary, not as a member of the staff, but as a student of this glorious campus. A student newspaper should strive to publish not only stimulating material, but factual material. The artist erroneously and humorously implied that the SM of CSUSM stands for Sado-Masochism. The artist then tried to cover up his lack of artistic talent and wit by scrawling a few words: San Marcos. This injustice must not stand uncorrected! Had someone simply listened to the echo ing voices of students in the stairwells, then, assuredly, the errors would have been avoided. C SUSM: The l ittle u niversity on the b ig h illside... With a lot of damned stairs. There is not a place an able-bodied student can park that doesn't require a 3-unit pre-requisite in step aerobics. Elevators? Do not! make me laugh. I do not need to have taken a statistics class to know that it is nearly impossible to use the elevators to get from the 1stfloorof Craven Hall to the 4th floor of Academic Hall in less than 7 hours. My heart truly goes out to the students confined to wheelchairs. Once inside an elevator, pushing a button for a specificflooris much like rolling dice—you never know what floor you'll actually stop on. This only substantiates the rumor that the designer of the cam pus elevator system is also the creator of the child's board game, Chutes and Ladders. I would like to propose that all students who must learn to negotiate the campus elevator system on a daily basis receive full credit for having satisfied the University's Critical Thinking general education requirement. Herein lies the true meaning of the SM of CSUSM: Stair Master. This also explains the See CSUS&M Page 3 , h Fatimah Cruz-Young certainly has a right to voice her opinions in the September 27 article about the Open House. However, I do wish she had taken the opportunity to talk to someone involved with the event before condemning it as a disastrous result of "poor planning". I have been Chair of the Tenth Anniversary Committee since January 1998. F orcloseto 21 months, a large committee comprised of a cross-section of the campus community (including alums and students) has been meeting to plan, design and execute a series of 10th anniversary events taking place throughout the month of September Our event calendar was set well ahead of Oceanside's Harbor Days and Escondido's Grape Days. (As an aside Harbor Days attracted one-fifth the number of participants as it usually draws due to the rainy, cold weather on that Saturday.) We were also limited in our selection of weekend days to hold the Open House by the Jewish holiday s on September 11 and 12, the Track event scheduling and other competing priorities. Also, I wonder if Ms. Cruz-Young actually stayed to hear Poncho Sanchez and his Latin Jazz Band? Certainly the crowd of300-500 people on the Forum Plaza could hardly compose the "vacant" lawn she refers to in her article. In addition to a careful, long planning period, the committee and several sub-committees distributed flyers to 25 area schools; advertised in the "Union Tribune" and "North County Times"; notified 15 other local area newspapers; aired on KPBS radio and Daniels Cablevision; promoted through the "Pennysaver", flyers throughout campus, "The Pride", the homepage, mailings of the special issue of the "Blueprints" to over 10,000 community members and alumni, as well as distributed 5000 inserts of the "Blueprints" to the student body. The committee of volunteers worked diligently and planned carefully for many long months. I would publicly like to thank them for their efforts. Indeed, it was disappointing to us all that the weather prevented so many people from joining us. Sincerely, Jane A. Lynch Executive Director, University Development PRIDE EDITORS RESPONSE Certainly The Pride joins the Tenth Anniversary Committee in its regret that the celebration was not well attended. Was it so un reasonable to blame the planning for the poor turnout? The evidence was in front of our reporter. While you suggest that students were involved, according to ASI President Waleed Delawari, at no time was the Associated Students invited to be a part of the Planning Committee. (The Pride was aware that Grape Day Festival conflicted with the Open House. We only now learn from you that Harbor Days also conflicted.) The Pride sought out the commentary of the few other students, besides Ms. CruzYoung, who had attended the final event of the evening. The response that The Pride received regarding the turnout ranged from "150 would be over-estimating." to "surely no more than 200 at the most." The Pride followed up on these student estimates with an inquiry to Public Safety's Lt. Glen, who was present at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration for the duration of the events. Lt. Glen estimated the total turnout for the event at 150-200 persons. The Pride finds no data that substantiates your estimate of 300-500. The Pride commends the Tenth Anniversary committee for extensively advertising the events. Perhaps because CSUSM is a relatively new campus, there lies much difficulty gaining recognition in the established community. This also is compounded with CSUSM's commuter school atmosphere and the challenges students face in creating a community of their own. These are just some speculations as to account for the pathetic Open House turnout. In addition, though the weather was unfortunate, other local events, such as Escondido's Grape Day Festival, enjoyed a successful turnout. This fact leaves the question of blaming an act of God (the weather), for the events' poor turnout, out of the question. The repercussions of the Tenth Anniversary Event did not end for the student population with Poncho Sanchez's last song. As a direct result of this fiasco, MEChA, the primary Mexican American Student group on campus, is forced to take a back seat at this year's Pow Wow . "We wanted to sell tostadasand nachos,but were told that all was left was popcorn and cotton candy," states Leticia Luna MEChA's president. "Taco Pablos," a Mexican restaurant who experienced huge losses at the Open House, have been semi-compensated with exclusive rights to sell Mexican food at the 1999 Pow W ow- over and above a student organization's needs to raise funds and share their culture. The Pride regrets that the wrong date for completion of the Twin Oaks bridge was printed in the title of an article in the September 27th issue of The Pride. The actual date of completion is April 2001. It was only wishful thinking on our part I suppose. Mexican & Mexican-American Undergraduates Needed!

CSU S TAIR M A S T E R SAMANTHA M . CAHILL & PAUL BLANCHARD/ The Pride CSUS&M Continued from pg. 2 University's lack of physical education classes. A four-year degree from CSU Stair Master, regardless of one's field of study, automatically certifies the graduate to be a personal trainer. This is a clever utilization of the "time on task" principal, enabling everyone to double-major. Supervisors at the Dome have confirmed, off the record, that all consumables served in the food court have been laced with extra calories to offset the increased caloric needs of the campus community. CSU Stair Master faculty should be pleased to know that an as-yet-uncirculated memorandum maintains that "Faculty may satisfy up to an additional 6 Direct Weighted Units if they agree to teach a class in a third or fourth floor classroom." The most positive side to all of these stairs, for students, faculty, and staff alike, is the backside. Members of the CSU Stair Master community have the best glutei in the entire CSU system, no ifs, ands, or (ahem) buts. frighteningly convincing mood of the film.

Calendar of Events California State University, San Marcos ... 8 Vandals hurled eggs and blue paint at the banner of Ernesto " Che" Guevara late Wednesday night. The banner was hung prominently on the Science Hall building on Wednesday. The vandals not only d efaced the banner but, due to their poor aim, the Science Building was defaced as well. Facilities' preliminary attempt to clean the building f ailed and f urther requires either a stronger cleaning solution, or possibly even the grinding down of the wall. The p etty vandalism, t hough/ did not stop MEChA (El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano d e Aztlan) f rom honoring Che Guevara on the 3 0 ^ anniversary of his death. Ricardo Favela, vice president of MEChA stated that " it's not going t o stop , us or slow us down." The banner was cleaned and hung once again the next day. The film, "El Che", and bilingual discussion on Che Guevara, sponsored by MEChA, drew standing-room^only attendance the following Thursday in Commons 2 06. The discussion was set up, according to Favela, as an educational program on Che Guevara. P rofessor Anibal Yanez-Chavez and special guest speaker Hector Muro, f rom Mexicanos Unidos en Defensia del Pueblo, led the discussion on Guevara's legacy and relevance to the problems facing us today. The discussion covered many different aspects of Guevara's legacy, including his status as a people's revolutionary hero as well as his economic, political, and social ideology. The discussion also covered the continued exploitation of the Latino and Chicano community, institutional separation of Latinos f rom their culture, and the commercialization of G uevara's image without the ideology he stood for. Although the discussion was primarily pro-Guevara, t here were critical questions concerning his stands on issues such, as communism and religion. As a young pre-med. student traveling through Latin America, Che witnessed the P9verty of the people. He was convinced, that the only way to help the people was t hroughtevolution. He is well-known f or his role in the Cuban Revolution and in the uprisings in Zaire and Bolivia. A medical doctor, Che started schools, hospitals, and a "people's" newspaper in his lifetime. He was also the .author of theoretical works on economics, society, and guerrilla warfare. Some of his works include Socialism and Man in Cuba, Guerrilla Warfare, and Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution: Writings and Speeches of Ernesto Che Guevara. Seventh Annual CSUSM Pow Wow Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Drumming and singing could be heard all over the campus on October 2 and 3 as C SUSM's 7th. annual Pow Wow took place on the campus soccer field. Representatives f rom more than 50 tribes gathered along with more than 25 vendors and numerous student and community organizations f or what one participant described as "a time to celebrate being Indian." The smell of burning sage wafted across the field as the drums ushered each group of dancers into the arena. An announcer on the stage introduced the groups and explained the significance of the dances as well as the protocol f or the spectators gathered around the edges of the arena t o watch the dahcers. Those not watching the dancing strolled around under the tents that lined t he field as vendors sold jewelry, clothing, books, artwork and f ood. "This is a family gathering," said Thomas Weir, chair of site planning and logistics f or the Pow Wow committee, who explained that the head dancers chosen f or the Pow Wow symbolized the members of a traditional family. " It's also a good time to reclaim old acquaintances." Diana Zapata thought about her reasons f or coming to the Pow Wow while taking part in an intertribal dance with her family. "We came h ere," she said, "because w e want t o increase our cultural awareness." C SUSM's Pow Wow is also known as a "veterans Pow Wow" because an estimated 80% of the adult male participants are veterans, according to Weir. The Pow Wow featured many specialty dances. One dance performed was the Gourd Dance, which h onors all veterans. Gourd dancers wear their military service medals proudly on their traditional red shawls and carry gourd shakers in their right hands. The warrior image is a very significant aspect of Indian culture, and that importance is r eflected at the Pow Wow. During t he grand entry f lags f rom all branches of the armed services are carried around the arena. Dancers, vendors, organizers and spectators had many reasons f or attending this y ear's Pow Wow, ranging f rom the lush grass and the good weather to an appreciation f or an event known to be a small and intimate gathering. "This i s h omey," said arena director Charlie Silverwater. "At other, bigger Pow Wows people tend t o get lost." "This is a good way to learn about Indian culture," said vendor D elphina Oclitso-Barr, a N avajo Indian.

If you find that email them to psychefairy@hotmail.com have a problem with this col- these dates are willfiilly entered, Dear Psyche Fairy, scrutiny placed upon Greek Organizations, a letter to the editor in the October 4 edition further proved this point. This letter to the editor strengthens the argument regarding the stereotypes, and ignorance toward Greek Letter Organizations. Maybe i t's because some are intimidated by the idea of an organization designed to contribute and provide support to not only its members, but its surrounding community. Greek Organizations here at CSU San Marcos and throughout the country do more community service and help the American Public than any other NON-PROFIT Organization. However when something goes wrong Greeks are the first to blame, similar to the blatant attack at one of these organizations in that letter to the editor, evoked entirely because of a simple misquote. It's as if these organizations are constantly being judged and scrutinized by a relentless eye, and at the first sign of difficulty the vultures are quick to attack. I 'm left to wonder what could evoke this ignorance in a community, which we strive to help each day of our lives? Maybe they are threatened by the leadership skills that these organizations impose upon their members, and the high potentials that each individual is encouraged to strive towards. Is it just coincidence that almost 40 Presidents of the United States were in a social Fraternity, or that 90 percent of all President and C EO's of Fortune 500 Companies were in Greek Letter Organizations? Even looking at leadership here at CSU San Marcos ASI President Waleed Delawari, ASI Programming Rep Mbalaka Monololo, and Undergraduate Rep Jesus Corona are all in Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. ASI Vice President Robert Radovich is in Tau Kappa Epsilon, ASI College of Business Rep Newsha Digius, and Inter Club Council Vice Chair Arti Patel are in Alpha Chi Omega Sorority. It's obvious that Greek Organizations are serious when they claim to develop individuals who get involved, and make a difference. When people try to discredit and belittle these organizations, which stand to make a difference and help those who are less fortunate, says a lot for the world we live in. There remains little room to ponder why there are less acts of good will and kindhearted people in our society. Dean Manship Inter Club Council Chairman Greek Presidents Council Chairman & President of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity EDITORS' RESPONSE In The Pride Vol. VII issue 6 October 4, 1999, and The Pride Vol. VII issue 5 September 27,1999, you will note that the stereotypes to which you refer are not found in the articles run in The Pride. Rather, in both the "First Annual Child Trot Fest Pulls Together Student Organizations, " and "Brotherhood on Campus" articles The Pride portrayed social Greek fraternities evenhandedly and in a positive light. The stereotypes which you so ardently argue against are those expressed by some members of the campus community. The Pride supports the efforts of the Greek fraternities in their efforts to combat the stereotypes which they face. by Cindy Tagliapietra PRIDE STAFF WRITER Who is Tukwut?

A Photo Exhibit by Victor Aleman Dedicated CSUSM Administrator Will be Greatly Missed Joni Miller Adra Hallford PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Flags flew at half mast on the CSUSM campus Wednesday, September 6, 1999, to recognize the passing this week of Sandra Kuchler, Dean of Students, after a t wo-y^r battle with cancer. Funeral services were held on Wednesday at Eternal Hills in Oceanside f or the dean who was known affectionately on campus as 'Sandy.' The Student Affairs Office has placed a collage of pictures, a short biography, and a poem in Sandy's honor by the door to their o ffice in remembrance of the Dean and as an "expression of their sadness at her passing. Though obviously affected by the loss, the o ffice does not anticipate any disruption in student services as a result. Former Director of Housing Susan Mitchell was appointed Interim Dean of Students a fter Sandy Kuchler exercised an early retirement option at the beginning of August. It is with deepest sympathy that I inform you of the passing of Sandra Kuchler after a two-year struggle with cancer. As Director of Student Development Services, she led the development of Counseling and Psychological Services, Disabled Student Services and Health Services programs. Sandy became especially interested and effective in serving non-traditional students. In 1993, she was appointed Associate Dean of Students and served until 1998, when she became Dean of Students. Sandy had been a part of our community since 1981, when she was appointed Assistant Dean f or Students at what was then SDSU's North County Center. She worked closely with outreach and recruitment efforts and was a major factor in the C enter's growth f rom 167 to 2,000 stu-^ dents. Sandy earned a reputation Sandy has played a critical role f or consistently and effectively in creating the welcoming enviassisting students in meeting their ronment students enjoy at CSU academic goals.

JONI MILLER / The Pride Sandy is survived by her son, Nicholas, whom she regarded as the j oy of her life; her companion, John; and three brothers. Her contributions to the campus, particularly t o non-traditional students, as well as the remembrance of her laughter and easy smiles survive Sandy as well.

Final State approval f or funding is expected before July, while a Breast Cancer Awareness Cindy Tagliapietra PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER The next building students should expect to see on campus is the M. Gordon Clark Athletic Field House, partially funded by a $1.2 million donation made by Helen Clark in honor of her late husband. The total expected cost of the project, to be completed in November 2001, is $7.1 million. $1.4 million is to come from donations while "most of the f unds, $4.5 million, will come f rom student f ees assessed over the next several years," says the North County Times. The 35,000 square foot facility will house weight rooms, locker rooms, and o ffice space. For those of you unacquainted with the struggle of the United Farm Workers of America, a profound exhibit is currently on display in our CSUSM Library. Photojournalist and multi-media artist Victor Aleman offers prolific images of the courageous journey of Cesar Chavez in a photo art exhibit entitled "On Cesar Chavez Side." Depicting the struggle and plight of California's farm workers through Chavez' work, Aleman captures the human condition that Chavez strove to shed light upon. See PHOTO Pg. 6 Presented by the Arts and Lectures specially formed Trust Foundation has until June to raise $1.5 million in donations f or the much-anticipated building. Voters passed Proposition 1A in November making state bond money available for the new library, adding to the $1 million donation received from Rancho Santa Fe residents Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II in 1996. The new Library is expected to cost $44.6 million after it is built and furnished. It will measure 198,000 square feet, and is expected to hold 840,000 printed volumes with seating for 1,600 students. This dwarfs the current Library Services location, which takes up only 34,000 square feet of Craven Hall and holds about 150,000 bound books. Once the LIC is completed, the existing library space is to be used f or a Student Information center. "You have breast cancer" is a sentence no one wants to hear in her lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Pride will print articles concerning this important issue as a special service to the women and men at CSUSM. 6. (A diagnosis of breast cancer i s an emergency.) Most breast cancers have been present for eight to ten years by the time you can f eel a lump, and s o there certainly i s time for you to get a second opinion, to read, and to f ully explore the options. Ten Myths about Breast Cancer (from Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book) * Some health professionals do not agree with Dr. Love on this issue. 7. (A mastectomy ensures that the cancer i s gone forever.) Mastectomy will remove the breast, however, it will not guarantee that the cancer will not recur. Eight to ten percent of women will have a recurrence in the scar after a mastectomy and there is also the p ossibility o f metastases (spreading). Lumpectomy and radiation are as good as mastectomy in preventing breast cancer from returning. 1. (Having f ibrocystic disease increases your risk of breast cancer.) Fibrocystic disease i s a general term for any benign process in the breast and does not increase the risk of breast cancer. 2. ( Coffee increases your risk of breast cancer.) C offee was once thought to increase the symptoms of fibrocystic disease. This was found not to be true and, in some statistics, c offee prevents breast cancer. 3. (Only women with a family history o f breast-cancer are at risk.) 80% of women who develop breast cancer have no family history, although women who have a family history of breast cancer are at increased risk. 4. (Mammography is 100% accurate in early breast cancer detection.) Mammography is a very important tool for detecting breast cancer early, however, it is not 100% accurate.* Any woman who has a lump ^nd has a normal mammogram still needs to have it checked out. 5. (Older women don't have to worry about • breast cancer.) The older you are, the higher your risk of breast cancer. So all women need to worry about breast cancer. 8. (A breast cancer diagnosis i s a death sentence.) We cure most early breast cancer with standard treatments. Even women who are not cured of breast cancer are certainly able to add three to f ive disease-free years to their l ives. 9. (Breast s elf-exams done routinely will find all cancers at a curable state.) Breast s elf-exams have never been shown to make a difference in the mortality of breast cancer. It i s wishful thinking to b elieve it can always find cancer at a curable stage. 10. (Only women get breast cancer.) Men are also able to get breast cancer and, in fact, there are some 5 00 cases every year of breast cancer in men in this country. As part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it would seem only natural to include a "How to do a Breast Self-Exam" for the women at CSUSM. This three-step technique comes to you courtesy of The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The best time to examine your breasts i s during the week after your period. That's when your breasts will be s oftest and least tender, and a lump will be easiest to find. You might feel uncomfortable and afraid the first f ew times you examine your breasts, but the more you get to know the characteristics of your breasts, the more comfortable the exam will become. In the shower: Raise one arm and place your hand on the back of your head. S lowly and methodically, move the pads of your fingertips over the breast in a circular pattern. Don't forget to f eel in the armpit area. Repeat on the other side. Before a mirror: With your arms resting at your sides, look for changes in the shape of your breasts, as well as s welling, dimpling, or indentations in the skin, or changes in the skin or nipples. Then raise your arms over your head and repeat the procedure. Finally, place the palms of your hands on your hips and press down s o that your chest muscles f lex; again, look for changes in the breasts and nipples. Lying down: Lie down and put a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using the pads of your fingertips, make the same circular.pattern of your right breast as y ou did in the shower. Don't forget to feel the armpit and the chest area from the collarbone to below the breast. Repeat, using firmer pressure. Squeeze the nipple gently to see if there's any discharge. Repeat the procedure on the l eft breast. Report any strange findings or changes to your doctor right away! �4 ® fje P r t b e Monday, October 11, 1 999 Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women Victoria B. Segall PRIDE STAFF WRITER One in four college women have reportedly been sexually assaulted during their college years, according to a Ms. Magazine Poll that studied sexual assault and rape. CSUSM has 5,600 students, 2/3 of whom are female. The statistics indicate that of the 3,700 females, 25% of the women on campus may fall victim to rape.?— a frightening concept. Fortunately there are ways women on campus can protect themselves and reduce their risks, of being attacked. One way is through CSUSM's Rape Aggression Defense Class for Women (RAD). RAD begins Wednesday, October 13, and runs through October 22. There are four class dates total, two Wednesday and two Friday night classes from 6:30pm - 9:30pm in the Visual & Performing Arts Annex. More RAD Classes will be offered every other month Rape Aggression Defense Classes for Women are present in several colleges and universities across the country. RAD was developed in Virginia in 1978 by a retired police officer. According to Larry Dadeau, Executive Director of RAD, the objective of the classes are: "To develop and enhance the options of self-defense, so they may become viable considerations to the woman who is attacked." RAD has been present at CSUSM f or about f ive years. The RAD classes teach selfdefense strategies—practicing both physical and verbal techniques and, most importantly, teach the women how to become more aware of their surroundings and avoid dangerous situations. Students also gain additional information f rom guest speakers like locksmiths and members of the Escondido Youth Encounter. Perhaps the most exciting part of RAD is the last night of class. On the last night the students take part in individual attack simulations where they will experience three set-scenarios. The set scenarios will include at least two "attackers,"including instructor Officer Mario Sainz, dressed in protective head and body gear. In the event that the s tudent may become nervous and " freeze," the control monitor, who oversees the scenario, will stop the scenario and continue the simu- lation when the student is ready. Instructors design the classes to suit the needs of the students of RAD; participants have ranged f rom ages twelve to eighty-three years old. m T he instructors go through rigorous physical training and tests and volunteer their time to teach the classes. Officer Mario Sainz, who has been teaching the class f or almost six years, is the official instructor f or RAD. B arb Acevedo has been assisting in classes f or the last f our years and has been an See RAD pg. 5 Freshmen Fat Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER "The Freshman F ifteen." You may have had it. Some still carry the burden well beyond their freshman year. What is it? The phenomenon of first year college freshman gaining fifteen pounds of body weight. "It happens, and do you know why? Pizza. Pizza and soda are the number one cause" says Susan Carman, Licensed Vocational Nurse and CSUSM Health Educator. Students who think that they might need to make a change in their diet can eliminate the guesswork by consulting the CSUSM Student Health Services Center? Students can schedule a thirtyniinute appointment to receive a FREE computerized nutritional analysis of their diet, or a FREE Body Composition Analysis that details an individual's percentage of body fat, ideal weight, and basal metabolic rate. One could even schedule an hour-long appointment and do them both. The body composition analysis is typically priced between $50-75 at a health spa. The f ree services do not stop there. With every scheduled appointment, students can also get nutritional counseling f rom Susan Carman and her 15 years of experience. "I work with foods the person likes to eat," says Carman, adding "Pizza i sn't all bad. It j ust needs to be balanced with a salad." I t's difficult to make radical changes. Carman d oesn't promote food restriction but prefers that students "add in healthy f oods." For many freshmen, attending college is their first experience away from the home. O ften students must rearrange their daily routine to f it their new class, study, and social schedules. Diet and exercise are often the first to be compromised. When asked to reflect on "The Campus Beat" question in the September 26th issue of The Pride, "If you could change anything in the cafeteria, what would it b e?" Carman responded " I'd like to see them have nutritional values available f or all of the f oods. I 've made suggestions b efore, but they seldom listen." Sounds like the supervisors f rom the Dome need to call 750-4915 and schedule an appointment to use the "Nutritionist 4 " computerized nutritional analysis program. why say it twice when once will suffice?

Adra Hallford GOGEEKI PRIDE STAFF WRITER Joni Miller Computer friendships and romantic relationships come as no surprise with the spread of the Internet in the everyday lives of most people. It is not unusual to hope f or the blossoming of " cyber-love" into an "in-theflesh," physical relationship. But oh, Psyche Fairy and others, be forewarned! Danger can lurk in the shadows of deceptively innocent binary data and online flirtation. To explain, the same types of predators who stalk people in the non-digital world have found a new realm of darkness in which to gather information and find cover on the Internet. Here i s but one way these stalkers win over the unsuspecting: It is relatively easy to lurk in a chat room, observe who is talk- ing to whom, and get on someone's email list. When emails are sent, most people include their recipient list in the to: field of the message. Recipients names and addresses are often listed here. Once these names and addresses go out, the lurker can then go back to the chat room armed with name, screen name, email address* and after a quick to any online White Pages service, the phone number, physical address, and even a point to point map to the home of almost anyone from the list. The lurker, who should now be considered a stalker, can pretend to know people known to those with whom he/she is corresponding. A Mend of a friend has more credibility than a stranger, and trust is more easily gained in this manner. From here, life becomes a waking nightmare for*the victim of the stalker. So, how does one engage in online romance without risking being stalked? First and foremost, proceed with caution. Protect your information and you protect yourself. Protect yourself and your friends by putting email addresses in the bcc: field (blind carbon copy). When that new cyber-love wants to meet, ask f or references. If that offends him/her, drop this cyberloser faster than T1 line download time! Before meeting, make sure that you have thoroughly checked out their references. Finally, meet at the local police station. That should cool the j ets of most ne'er-do-wells. How you proceed wiH decide if you think lovebytes means online love in its fullest expression, or love bites. Profile: Professor Robin Keehn Catherine Matsumoto .PRIDE STAFF WRITER There's a bright future ahead f or Re-Entry students. At eighteen, Robin Keehn enrolled in college, at age twenty, she opted to drop out. After ten years of working as a waitress and a housekeeper, Robin decided that it was time to go back to college and to eventually pursue a career. While looking to enroll at SDSU, she was steered to CSUSM, which was closer to her home in North County. Having had an interest in the arts and writing in high school, she chose Liberal Arts as her major. The university offered academically challenging course work, small classes, and a dedicated faculty. Focused on finishing her college education, Robin found that CSUSM would satisfy her academic objective. " I had a sense of earnestness, commitment and desire to learn, traits that are common f or re-entry students," she says, " I found every class fascinating and each professor someone I wanted to get to know." After receiving her Bachelors degree in 1992, Dr. Ken Mendoza convinced Robin to go on f or a Ph.D.. Keehn applied to UCSD and was accepted to the Literature and Writing Department. There she interacted with students who had graduated f rom prestigious universities such as Yale and Princeton. When asked if it was intimidating to compete with the other students she replied, "The education I received at CSUSM gave me absolute confidence to reach my goal." Today, you will find her name on a plaque in Craven Hall among CSUSM's first graduating class. Even more impressive, Dr. Keehn teaches in the Literature and Writing department and is the director of CSUSM's Writing Center. She says of her accomplishment, "It may sound cliche, but it is a dream come true. I am thrilled and privileged to be here." Dr. Keehn, a native San Diegan, lives in North County with her husband and four-yearold daughter. Her husband, who was also a re-entry student, teaches English at the local community college. Sharing some r e-entry. wisdom Robin says, "don'fcfocuson what you should have done but concentrate and enjoy what y ou're doing now." She invites re-entry students to contact her at the Writing Center. Pow Wow Cont. from pg. 1 Although our version of the Pow Wow is a modern development, it has roots in ancient traditions. History Professor A1 Schwartz explained that the name "Pow Wow" comes f rom the Algonquin word for "doctor" and has evolved into its presentday meaning because of the dancing and drumming which accompanied* the healing process. "The modern Pow Wow is less than a century old, but it connects to things that are 5000 years old," he said. year. Along with the organ izers, he credited the approximately 50 volunteers, many of them CSUSM students, with making the Pow Wow happen. she thought Pow Wows perpetuated stereotypes about Indians, Oclitso-Barr suggested that people should look beyond the Pow Wow to learn about other aspects of Indian life. "This is j ust the f ace" of a rich cultural tradition, she said. "There's a lot more to it." Part cultural expression, part spiritual ritual, part social gathering, the Pow Wow represented different things to different people as they watched and listened, ate and shopped. " It's a time f or rejoicing about what we have," said Ernest Black Wolf Flebotte, a vendor, Gpurd Dancer, Vietnam veteran, and Algonquin Indian f rom Canada. The Pow Wow at CSUSM has • » •. grown tremendously f rom its humble beginnings as a storytelling session attended by 300400 people in the faculty parking lot. Weir estimated that 5000 to 7000 attended the Pow Wow this PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride The goal of the Pow Wow is not to make a profit, Weir said, but to break even. The Pow Wow hopes each year to put away some seed money for the next year, so that the committee is not starting f rom scratch. "So f ar w e've been successful." One person who was extremely happy about that success was Dr. David Whitehorse, professor of education and co-chair of this year's event. "This is the best thing the university puts on," he said. PRIDE STAFF WRITER When you hear the words "Geek L ife," what images come to mind? Do you picture scenes f rom "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," like Carlton Banks dancing, or the unforgettable Steve Erkel on "Family Matters"? Or are you completely oblivious and could care less about Geek L ife on campus? Either way, you should be a little curious because Geeks can be found in the classrooms of every college, and they riiay even be future co-workers. Would you have ever guessed that the likes of Bill Gates, Robin Williams, E ltonJohn, R2D2, and all of "The Wallflowers" were GEEKS? I have information f rom good sources that there were many famous historical GEEKS, long before the American Greek L ife craze of 1776. The likes of Beethoven, Napoleon, Socrates and Jesus are j ust a few with Geek roots. The good news about GEEK LIFE is that GEEKS ARE OUT! Yes, Geeks never were in the closet! Geeks d on't have to give secret handshakes, have mottoes, or take oaths t o discuss their revolutionary ideas. In fact, Geeks have infiltrated CSUSM, You may have seen a few of us on campus. W hile Greeks are busy with RUSH the first few weeks of class, a Geek d oesn't rush into anything. In fact, a Geek may wander aimlessly throughout the campus, (so as not to look lost), arriving fashionably late to class. While Greeks require an evening gown or black tie ensemble for various functions, a Geek may. easily show up i h T-shirts and jeans, Birkenstocks, any rubber-soled shoe, or a stylish oxford without socks. A BMW may be the Greek's choice of transportation, but not a Geek's. A Geek seeks out alternative modes of transportation to promote and encourage a healthy environment for humans and other living creatures. An occasional Geek can be seen purchasing their monthly student bus pass at the ASI office, locking up their trusty bicycle steed outside of the dome, or (my personal choice) riding a little red scooter. I have reason to believe that you probably know a Geek, or even have one in your family! Then again, there is always the chance that, yes, you too could be a GEEK. The following is a questionnaire to see if you are a GEEK: 1. Are you a slave to fashion? 2. Do you drive your daddy's BMW to school? 3. Do you watch every episode of Ally McBeal? 4. Have you secretly wished you were in a fraternity/sorority? If you answered NO to two or more of these questions you may be a GEEK or have strong GEEK tendencies. But FEAR NOT! I hereby offer the students of Cal State San Marcos the alternative to Greek Life. GEEK LIFE! There is NO criteria for geeks, no bids for membership, or chance of exclusivity. One does not have to hold high social status in the community, nor have a minimum income. You will never be asked to wear formal attire, at any time. If this sounds too good to be true, you are on your way to being a GEEK! If by chance you are still a little shy, perhaps f earful of what others may think of you, you may not be ready j ust yet. Give it time. Your true identity will come forth; there is no denying GEEKNESS. After all, CSUSM is an institution of diversity is it not? GO GEEKS! If you feel you may be a GEEK but are afraid to come out, please feel f ree to contact the Geek email hotline at scootergeek@yahoo.com. May the GEEKS be with you. RAD Continued From pg. 4 instructor for one year. One reason Barb primarily chose to take the classes was the rise in the occurrence of rape in her city, Escondido. After taking the class, she was impressed by the number of defense options she had learned. "It's nice to know y ou're doing something for yourself," Barb said. There are also two separate RAD classes for children ages 5-7 and ages 8-10. This class has been present in CSUSM f or two years. In the RAD Class for Kids the children learn how to prevent accidents around the house, how to react to strangers, bike-helmet safety, firesafety, and a collection of other useful lessons for children. Children will learn physical defense techniques like soccer kicks, shin kicks, and eye-pokes. RAD for Kids also contains a simulation during the last class, however it is much more simple than the adult class. For example the scenario might end with the child running f rom the scene, picking up the phone and calling f or help. The RAD Classes for Kids take place on Saturdays, October 16, 23, and 30 f rom 1:00pm - 4:00pm each day at the VPA Annex. The children's training book is $15, the adult training book is $20, and parking is $3.

This album has quickly become a well-played addition to my collection with its mix of alternative, folk and punk. With hints of N o Doubt, Madonna and countless others, this album has a little of everything f or everyone. With B iff's ability to sound punk and somehow sweet at the same time, it is difficult not to fall in love with her seductive voice. The lyrics are well written, but not quite up to the standards of other female writers such as Ani DiFranco and Tori Amos. The newest film f rom German director Katja von Gamier starring Jutta H offmann (Marie), Nicolette Krebitz (Angel), Jasmine Tabatabai (Luna) and Katja Riemann (Emma), Bandits shook box o ffice records throughout Europe. The combination prison break, road movie, and action-adventure set to a soundtrack that is the highest selling soundtrack of any European film to date, is sure to draw crowds in America as well. A combination of A Hard Day's Night meets Thelma and Lousie, the f ilm's soundtrack is its driving force, and i s made up primarily of songs by Tabatabai and Krebitz, two of the films multitalented performers. The filmmakers had initially commissioned additional compositions f rom outside writers and musicians, but the commissioned works lacked the depth and feeling of the music of Tabatabai and Krebitz: "Beyond the first three songs, I had not intended on using other songs of theirs," confessed von Gamier. "But the outside music did not share the feeling of the project. They (Krebitz and Tabatabai) were so musically creative at that time, and being on the film nearly from the beginning, their soul f or the film came out in their music." The f ilm's story line of a female prison rock band that has escaped and is on the run is both engaging and lighthearted. Yet the f ilm's ability to evoke a range of responses f rom the audience, f rom laughter to apprehension, marks it as something more than the standard action movie. The f our characters and their flight f or freedom along the Autobahn, while being chased by both the police and throngs of newfound fans, quickly involves the viewer in their plight. The cinematography of the film is as artful as its soundtrack; it makes use of the b eautiful scenery along the Autobahn, and uses some nice angles and filters throughout. All in all, I found the film and the soundtrack both engaging and enjoyable. Though each song has a familiar sound, Biff Naked has created her very own style which pours f rom her soul. The bottom line is that if you like No Doubt, Madonna, and Blink 182, check out Biff Naked's / Bificus. P HOTO Cont. pg. 3 Series f or Fall 1999, the exhibit opened on Wednesday, October 6, at 3:00 pm with a warm reception in the library courtyard of CSUSM. The courtyard was abuzz with the arrival of the renowned artist. Fashionably late, Mr. Aleman arrived to greet eager students, faculty and staff with grace and an unassuming nature. Working closely with Cesar Chavez f or ten years, (1980-1990) Aleman was fortunate to capture many personal and unique photographs of the contemporary folk hero. Much of A leman's work embodies intimate settings of Cesar Chavez with family and friends. Other, more political settings portray Chavez as the activist of the people. Numerous celebrities are noticed throughout the collection of photographs. Martin Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips, Edward James Olmos and Mile Farrell are j ust some of the luminaries shown in alliance and support of Chavez' cause, and contribution to the labor movement. Victor Aleman has been awarded many honors f or his work documenting the human condition. He is currently the editor of Vida Nueva, a Spanish weekly in Los Angeles. Other projects include two books in production, one of Cesar CMvez and the other a photo documentary of the conditions in El Salvador since 1970.

Their hair may be gray or tastefully tinted. They have permanently etched laugh lines around their insightful eyes. While their spirits are young, their physical bodies are not, so they climb the stairs in a leisurely manner. They never miss class and are always on time. Most of them do not feel the need to dress in the latest fashions and so they dress comfortably and conservatively. Who are these people? They are the senior citizen students at CSUSM who range in age f rom sixty to eighty-one. The average age of a typical CSUSM student is twenty-eight years old out of a total enrollment of over five thousand. There are twenty-four women and fifteen men enrolled this f all semester. There are two eightyone year old freshmen and nine who are working on post-baccalaureate degrees. There are nine others who will receive bachelor's degrees in Visual and Performing Arts, History, LTWR, Sociology, and Women's Studies during the Fall, 1999/Spring, 2000 semesters.On May 27, 2000, they will "walk" across the stage and be handed a "sheepskin" in f ront of their proud, cheering f amilies and friends. It will be a day of celebration and triumph because they have persisted and achieved the goal of graduating f rom a four-year University. The culmination of life-long hopes and dreams will be f ulfilled f or them after years of working, raising children (sometimes as a single parent), attending PTA meetings, working as Scout leaders, chauffeuring children between sporting events, band practices, dance lessons and sewing miles of sequins on m arching costumes. Most of them did all these things while providing a home life at the same time. For all students, whether ' fresh out of high school' or re-entering college, there are the usual fears. "Will I be accepted by my peers? Will they laugh at m e or think I 'm dumb when I ask a lot of questions? Can I handle the workload that i s expected of me? Am I too young or too old? Will my disablement prevent me f rom keeping up with the rest of the class?" While these are universal worries, f or senior citizens they are more pronounced.

Woodward Penny Lanese PRIDE STAFF WRITER Issues concerning the 19992000 budget were settled at the Inter Club Council (ICC) meeting held on Friday, October 8. On-campus club funding will receive $50,800 total while $10,000 has been set aside for club funding off-campus. $10,000 goes to the annual Student Awards Banquet, a social gathering and awards ceremony for clubs at the end of the Spring semester. By a unanimous vote, the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer will receive $400 in Student Development money in scholarships and grants to pay tuition costs. PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF? WRITER Facilities workers must paint, scrub, and sandblast the stucco and granite of the Science Hall Building as a result of last week's vandalism. Using eggs and blue paint, vandals defaced a banner of Che Guevara that hung temporarily from the Science Hall Building on Wednesday, October 6. The eggs and paint splattered against the building's walls, causing unsightly stains on the archway that leads into the building. Scaffolds and yellow tape marked the area as Facilities members grappled mmmm with the problem of removing the stains. For more than a week, Facilities has been trying different cleaning methods to remove the stains, but all to no avail. Today a worker lugged a bottle of Simple Green to the site, hoping that the all-purpose cleaner might fade the blue spots that are now embedded in the granite. According to Patty Holden, Assistant Director of Custodial, Grounds and Transportation, the stucco must be painted, and the See CLEAN-UP pg. 6 Since the last meeting, no clubs had turned in their funding packets.

Pg. 6 members of MEChA in a meeting on Monday, October 11, following the vandalism of a banner of Che Guevara hung by the student group. Gonzalez had been scheduled to give a motivational talk at the meeting prior to the vandalism. However, when the floor was opened for questions, few people had questions about the history of MEChA, and the conversation with the president was re-directed to current events. A Senate-sponsored forum with President Alexander Gonzalez, Vice President of Academic Affairs Richard Karas, and members of the CSUSM faculty was held on Wednesday, October 13. The meeting's focus had much to do with George Diehr's October 10, 1999 article entitled "Cal State San Marcos fat on overhead, thin on professors" and the points that the article had raised. Gonzalez spoke for close to an hour on the university's budget after the meeting began. "We need to trust each other," said Gonzalez* who continued to reiterate similar phrases throughout the forum. Diehr's statement in his "op-ed" piece that "we need a full accounting by an independent auditor of the CSUSM budget, " was the apparent point of contention. Gonzalez's reply to this charge was "my books are open." Gonzalez outlined his budget plan before the meeting was opened for general discussion. The discussion ceniered on the issues of faculty workload and development, and the Retention and Tenure Process (RTP), but also addressed the line item costs of athletics and president's initiatives in the university's budget, as well as the costs related to uncompleted buildings. Faculty questioned the desir- ability of what the campus has to offer. Karas responded, "location, cost, quality and proximity." However, as noted by one faculty member, if CSUSM cannot compete in the national market for new faculty members, educational quality will be compromised. In response to a question regarding opportunities that were missed to defend the university's stance on budget issues through public statements, Gonzalez told faculty "you take it the public, you're going to lose." This was further evinced through statements regarding the notions that airing troubles in public, and the amount of good it would do, would only invite comments to the contrary. Gonzalez made clear that allegations of misuse of funds would only back him into a corner, giving him less room to respond to faculty concerns in a flexible manner. Gonzalez made clear that he has the final say in setting the workload for faculty, in this instance four classes every Fall and Spring semester. He would, however prefer acquiescence, a consensual compromise. Gonzalez also stated that he was not looking into a trimester system for CSUSM but acknowledges that there are some adaptable classes that include accelerated courses. ing banners of a revolutionary characters for the promotion of educational events and celebrations on campus to be guaranteed and not be used as criteria to deny our right to do so by 'facilities' or the appropriate* department which is responsible." from our own. The University should be a place where widely differing views can coexist. I would like to reiterate that we will continue to support diversity in all its forms. We will not condone nor tolerate any breach of behavior or policy that threatens our commitment to an open andfree university environment. Gonzalez Addresses Mechistas In a statement presented at the meeting, the Mechistas outlined their position concerning the incident. Included in the statement is a request that President Gonzalez make "a written statement to the university students, staff and faculty denouncing [the] act as an act of disrespect arid disregard towards Che Guevara, MEChA, Professor Y&nez-Chavez and the Liberal Studies department, and the University itself." The document also observed that the vandalism is "an attack on our (MEChAVthe students') freedom of expression". President Gonzalez responded to the suggestion that the vandalism was directly aimed at the banner of Che Guevara by stating that it could not be determined if it was indeed a targeted act of vandalism. WhenLeticia Luna, MEChA's president inquired "If the banner hadn't have been there, do you think that the blue paint and egg yolk would have been on the buildingv President Gonzalez replied "I don't know." President Gonzalez complied with MEChA's request for a public statement regarding the incident in a memorandum dated October 12. The memo, Students took the opportunity "Freedom of Expression on to question the president about Campus," stated that what would be done about the vandalism of the banner of Che "Last Thursday, a banner of Guevara, and what he would do 'Che Guevara, that was hung in to ensure the rights of students Founders' Plaza as part ofpubto free expression in the future. licity for a Public Forum coIn addition to the vandalism of sponsored by MEChA and the the banner, students and faculty Liberal Studies Department, brought up previous incidents of was defaced.

"As we move into the remainder of the academic year, please join with me in reaffirming these principles that have guided the University's development." Although the president's statement did not denounce the incident as an act of vandalism, it is still a step in the direction of See MEChA pg.7 �2 Monday, October 18, 1999 Dear Editors: I am rather perturbed by the ethical foundations of a new group formation on campus, the Young Americans for Freedom. The group, not a CSUSM or CSI recognized group, professed their stance on freedoms of choice, which is great. The foundations of freedpm of choice, laissezfaire market principles, and the importance of teaching the virtues of Liberty are all critical elements to be upheld and highly revered in America. And the approach towards Liberalization (privatization) of American structures is an ideal that, as a moderate libertarian, I could not help but be pleased at. However, I was profoundly disturbed by other explicit and underlying principles YAF maintains, such as the professed support of "the choice to eradicate Communism Dear Editors: I recently was made aware of the YAF (Young Americans for Freedom) group on campus; I don't know how many people on campus have seen their flyer 'Top 10 Reasons to Join YAF', but when I read this flyer I was outraged and disgusted. Why don't they just list their reasons as: L We're homophobic, 2. We're white supremacists, 3. We're VIP KKK members, 4. We need guns to kill off the minorities and homosexuals, 5. Dear Editors: on campus." The foundation of freedom is rights, and the right to believe in and maintain a sociopolitical stance on Communism is a right, and the suggestion of eradicating it is a direct contradiction to the premises of freedom. Usurping and diminishing the right to belief is not upholding freedom, but killing it. In the same light, denying rights to practice deviant sexuality is tyrannical in its ideology as well, as suggested in their clause of support for "the choice to prosecute gerbilers, pedophiles, transvestites, and other sexual deviants." I wish to express my discontent at the low denominator of angst this group has against fellow students on campus. There is so much potential to promote freedom positively. Jeff Kuebler We support the choice to oppress culture. Join YAF today! Has anyone noticed the web site on the school server without club/ICC recognition (an illegal activity)? Why are they allowed to set up tables and use the school server without any sort of recognition by the university at any level? I along with fellow students, approached Damon Bell of CSI with these concerns, and YAF is conducting these affairs entirely unauthorized. Does this bother anyone else? In regards to the Pride's Monday Sept. 20 issue, in which a cartoon appeared with a caption that read "Excuse me, but it (S & M) stands for San Marcos... This was a cartoon that showed a cougar with a whip posing in a sado-masochistic act. In the Oct. 4 issue, Mike Spangler gave a comical rebuttal that advised the student body that the "S" & "M" of CSUSM stands for "Stair Master." The issue showed a picture of students making their way up yet another set of stairs on campus. I am getting a kick out of the creativity here in regards to the letters "S" and "M." I got to thinking about those letters myself. Personally, I think that "S" and "M" should stand for "Smoking More," as I have observed that an enormous amount of students smoke a hell of a lot of cigarettes, despite all the training they've had over the years about the dangers of tobacco products. California has so many laws against smoking in public places, that it doesn't seem commonplace to see many people smoking anymore. Not so at CSU San Marcos. I would venture to guess that two-thirds of the student population smoke. Being a non-smoker myself, I guess I'm more conscious of those who do. This is not another diatribe about smoker versus non-smoker's rights, it's just an observation. I cannot help but think of a relative of mine who hated smoking all Dear Editors: October 11 was National Coming Out Day. Who knew? Who cared?

The fact is that there exists a great inequality between white people here, who in general, benefit from the exploitation of people around the world, and the Mexican, African and Native American people who live in this country. You only need to walk through an African or Mexican community and see the conditions in which we live, and go walk through a suburban community of white people to see the drastic inequality which exists. And you only need to go to the fields where the farmworkers live and work, to see that they are nothing but 20th century, and now 21st century, slave plantations. And it was exactly this inequality between humans that Che gave his life to eliminate. He took up arms because he knew that the rich would not give up their stolen wealth without a fight. He knew that the police and the army only exist to maintain that inequality arid to defend the stolen property of the rich. Yet despite the fact that over the past 30 years, the rich have only gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer, despite the fact that almost every right that we fought for during the civil-rights era has been stripped away, despite the fact that the civil-rights movement has been betrayed, and despite the fact' that the C.I. A. keeps pumping in drugs and guns into Mexican and African communities, some will say that Che's ideas are only the result of the '60's and will forever remain in the '60's. What they are telling us is to not be idealistic. What they are telling us is to stop thinking of how to better our people's conditions. What they are telling us is to stop thinking for ourselves. To stop acting for ourselves. They are telling us that we will always be an exploited people, that we will always be a permanent underclass... And on this day, in the spirit of Che Guevara, of Emiliano Zapata, of Huey Newton and Reyes Tijerina, we will say, 'They can kill a revolutionary, but they can not kill the revolution! Hasta la victoria siempre!". A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man or woman dies but once. together. Nothing happened here at CSUSM on National Coming Out Day.

I am vice-president of the American Indian Student Excellence Society (AISES). I've been involved in AISES since Fall '98 and active in the American Indian community in California since 1996. I've developed a cordial relationship with the advisor of our club and the Pow Wow Committee in relation to coordinating activities. The advisor and the Powwow committee are instrumental in educating the general student population about American Indian culture. But in the last couple of months I've been noticing how my relationships with these key players are limiting me, and American Indian students in general, by limiting our participation in educating the campus about our heritage and in developing our leadership capabilities/ This can be best described and exemplified in terms of CSUSM's Annual Pow Wow. I noticed an article in the last issue that delivered a very positive image of the Pow Wow. The article had good intentions in that the spirit of the writer was in a good place and that they gave relevant information about Indian culture and Pow Wow in general, but I recognized that only certain perspectives were represented. This is not enough, more perspectives need to be voiced, expressed and offered to the public awareness. I now will offer an American Indian student's perspective: The relationship between the Pow Wow Committee and AISES has historically been limited. My experience has been that American Indian students can only voice their opinion regarding the organizing of the Pow Wow. But the actual planning and organizing of the Pow Wow has been done by faculty and staff Letter to the Editors: In Defense of Censoring Ourselves only. As Indian students, our role in this "organizing" has been to post flyers, sell T-shirts, sell programs, collect water donations for the Pow Wow staff, and other colorful jobs of this sort. We have never been given the direct participatory role in the actual planning of the Pow Wow. For example, we don't get to decide who the actual participants are such as: the drummers, the MC, etc. Yet this is a significant aspect of our culture and of the Pow Wow organization. OPINION dent involvement in its livelihood. We were also informed that the person who was responsible for the vendor contracts "messed up" and as result we had no truly "exclusive" rights since vendors would also be selling water. As I was doing these things I was treated very badly; treated like a child. I felt very disrespected, patronized, lied to, dismissed, excluded...you name it. In short, I was made to feel less than human. Yet at the end of the Pow Wow, the Pow Wow Committee demanded that Indian students (i.e. representing AISES) be recognized as part of their Committee in an honoring song. An honoring song is given by the Community to give thanks and show gratitude to those organizing and hosting the event. I felt Pow Wow Committee's action was wrong because it was misleading the community into thinking that we were part of hosting, organizing and putting on the Pow Wow, when in reality we weren't. Not only is this inappropriate to ask, it just adds insult to injury being so disrespectful as to demand Indian students to come out and be "honored" for something they were never given the opportunity or honor to do. The Pow Wow committee maintains that there are not enough American Indian students interested in getting involved. During this time I have understood that American Indian student involvement on campus has been minimal, (reflecting both the low numbers of Indian students existing on this campus and the absence of voting power for students in the Pow Wow Committee.) So what we chose to do as students interested in our heritage was to be involved in this special event in what little we were allowed to do by the Committee: we distributed flyers, (two of us brought dessert donations for the Dinner hosted by the President), we sold Pow Wow T-shirts and programs, and I coordinated the water donations I absolutely refused to dance for the Pow Wow staff. In return with the Committee that I felt I for our participation, AISES was was not included in or in any promised a permanent table set way a part of. up and exclusive water rights to sell at the Pow Wow. I am not the first Indian student who has been made to feel The day of the Pow Wow we this way.

We must constantly balance the rights of individuals to they please with the synergy of a strong community establishing and maintaining standards over the course of time. From a sociological perspective, an established set of rules which govern behavior constitutes the backbone of culture and becomes part of the identity of individuals within the group. If we are to achieve a sense of community where all members feel safe, valued, and free to learn we must exercise our rights responsibly. Second, the speech exhibited that day violates the standards to which employees and students are held. If these things had been said by a staff or faculty member to a student or anyone else, that staff or faculty member would be subject to sexual harassment laws and would have been (hopefully) fired for discriminatory language and conduct. I cannot see why a speaker on stage who says " F... you" to a group of students should be defended since a student would Monday, October 18, 1999 3 basic respect to students and student expression. I was outright disappointed in the outcome of our relationship because this was an event that I truly put all my effort and all my heart in. This is supposed to be a community event. It is a cultural event and NOT an administrative function for those with the titles- to make sure everyone knew their name. The Pow Wow isn't supposed to exist to service their big "University image and to give them some more kudos with which to meet their status quo. I had had such optimistic, high hopes but after this experience my view of this relationship has most definitely changed. I've been trying to maintain this relationship at all costs- we still sold the Pow Wow Committee's T-shirts and programs, even though our "exclusive" water rights were sacrificed. These are issues that need to be worked on toward a positive resolution that will benefit students. Indeed, one of these problems between the Pow Wow Committee and Indian students are already being addressed. Bonnie Biggs, Chairperson of the Pow Wow Committee, has promised to give classes to AISES members about the logistics of organizing a Pow Wow. My hope is that AISES will see a commitment in the form of a set date on this so as this becomes one promise that actually becomes reality. Being offered, and afforded the opportunity to learn about how to run a Pow Wow is definitely a good starting point. However, the issue that still remains (and which is never addressed) is the issue of giving voting privilege for AISES as an organization. This would enable students, through a vote as a club, the opportunity to directly participate in the planning and organizing of the Pow Wow. Lastly, it must be understood that all students should be given the dignity o f being treated as adults regardless of our educational level. My hope and vision for the future is that the relationship between Native American students and the Powwow Committee will be more amicable and genuine. Other examples: First of all I am a woman, not a child. I am certain that as a human being I deserve to be treated with the respect due to any human being. Just because we are students and do not yet have the educational degrees and fancy titles that key members of the Pow Wow Committee have does not mean that we do not deserve to be treated with respect. It is not okay to manipulate students to the benefit of individual agendas and images. This is not an Indian way of doing things: I'm an Indian person, this is an Indian event - yet what I saw on that day were a lot of broken promises. I saw the dishonesty of the committee and what Indian students of the past had whispered in warning come true. This was a very bad experience and what is so unfortunate about this situation is that it didn't have to he that way. On a final note, I encourage studeftts to respond to me with their feedback and support. In closing, I hope that the American Indian faculty and staff will support these resolutions, and in the future that they will support Indian students in a more active and diplomatic way.

I am going to be dreadfully busy with midterms this week so I decided to consult with some fellow fairies to answer the questions. They have some good things to share and I hope you enjoy it. See you next week, love, Psyche Fairy Dear Fairy du Jour, I feel like I 'm trapped in emotional slavery. There's someone that I care about, that I love so much, that I would do anything for them. They know this, and never seemed to mind this devotion. I don't mind being taken for granted every now and again, but it seems like recently that they've been overly paranoid and defensive. I'm so scared that I've done something at some time to offend this person or make them subconsciously angry with me. It's almost like the person that I knew, the person whose personality was so unique and intriguing that it made my heart skip a beat when they spoke to me; somehow... went away. Is there something I can do to make them feel better? I've tried everything, .and yes, I tried to leave them alone. For one of the few times in my life, I feel helpless. Please, I hope there's something you can tell me to bring just a little bit of ease to my heart. I've never been so scared in my life... I don't want to lose this person out of my own ignorance. Enamored that they learn to attach to, unhealthy as it is. It may be being transposed on you, very unfortunately, my dear. I know it is entirely much easier said than done, but as a sentient being, you have a right and responsibility and a duty to yourself to protect yourself above the relationship. You are separate from the relationship. I am no means advocating a separation; rather I suggest a probing of the relationship first, and why you would sacrifice yourself and your happiness for someone who is being overtly defensive and selfish in the relationship* My primary advice would be to approach your amour about Why they feel the right to undermine the relationship rather than focus energies on despair and what you did wrong. And if all else fails, get a second job and go shopping with the extra income- who doesn't get cheered up with a new Winter wardrobe (hell, take their card if it makes you feel better!). Best of luck, sweety! To Enamored: My condolences on your sense of forlorn love. You have tried the immediately advisable need-my-space approach to amending the turn in the relationship. Perhaps the person you are enamored with seeks emotional deprivation, whether it was triggered by a side issue/event in their life. Perhaps they have come to appreciate and thrive on your discontent; it happens. Often the world does not work to serve your needs, and people occasionally learn to become vicious- it's a Pavlov-response thing. People snap, and change, and have disgust for life's angst The Fairy du Jour Laughter and Annoyance at Comedy Fest 99 Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF W RITER The ASI staged the first annual CSUSM comedy show on October 12, drawing an estimated crowd of 150 people to the patio outside the dome for what one student government official described as "our best attendance ever" for an ASI event. However, several students complained about the show, for reasons ranging from profanity to obscenity. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing," said student Gloria O'Shea. "It [profanity] is so common now...but it shouldn't be." Student Jessica Ealson added that the" show was PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride "very offensive.

I thought that the comedians were funnier than I'd anticipated, but their routines did include lots of lewd gestures and language. One comic, a Molecular Biology major, told jokes about Road Rage, and gave impersonations of teachers on campus — and the teachers being impersonated were among those in the audience.

Once again today, like many times in the last three years, I was faced with choosing between my classes and an eleven-year child who is frequently sick. My child suffers from recurrent migraines, accompanying stomach complaints, and an asthma-like condition, in addition to the normal sore throats and colds that most kids get. I ask myself, why was she so healthy before I started back to school. Why now, at a time in my life where I decide it's my turn to have a life, do so many complications seem to occur? As if a Re-Entry student doesn't already have enough on her/his plate. The guilt in thinking of just 'myself' piles onto an already overcrowded plate; guilt fills anxiety levels to a premium, and does as much damage to the body as daily 1,500 calorie desserts. Nothing undoes me more than choosing between my child and myself. Getting through the math requirements starting from ground zero was bad enough, and I thought nothing, NOTHING, could be as bad as algebra and statistics. I was wrong. We can send people to the moon, but we can't get alternate care for a sick child down here on earth where it really matters. It turns out that there is no place to take a sick child, there is no one who can instantly appear on your doorstep and stay with your child, especially if you're unlucky enough to have your immediate family live 3,000 miles away. I can give only marginal advice to fellow parents. Most professors understand enough to give a student the benefit of the doubt. E-mail your professors, explain the situation, and do the best you can. Even though most syllabi state a mandatory attendance policy, there are times when perfect attendance is not possible. When you have a chronically sick child, it might be smart to consider going to school part time, since parenting is a full time job. Re-think your priorities and your goals and accomplish little chunks at a time. Your child does come first, as parenting is your first job. Even though you are going to school to better yourself, which in the long run benefits your child, you have to keep reasonable expectations. If I had to do it all over again, I would have gone part time. The children need supervision and a parent who is 'all there' both emotionally and physically, But keep in mind that the sooner you finish, the sooner you can get back to normal again. Dragging out your program is worse than finishing quickly in many ways. Whatever you choose, some concessions have to be made. profanity." Monololo added that anyone who wants to contribute to the choice of programming for ASI shows should attend the programming committee meetings, which are open to everyone. They meet every other Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Dome, with the next meeting on October 20th. The ASI said that all of the comedians, who were unpaid CSUSM students, were screened prior to the show. But, said AgI President Waleed Delaware, "once they have the microphone, there's really nothing we can do about [the content of the show]." After receiving thefirstcomplaint, Delawari attended the remainder of the show himself. "It was a little racy," he said, "but everyone I talked to enjoyed the show." Delawari acknowledged that he only spoke with people who were gathered around the stage, admitting that people who were offended by the show had probably left. However, he said, you can't please everyone. "If we have 90% satisfaction...I consider that a success." Although the ASI said that they announced before the show that some people might find the material offensive, some students were not aware of what was going on. "I didn't hear any warnings," O'Shea said. Warnings or not, some students felt that the show was inappropriate. "This is my school, I 'm paying to be here, and I don't want to hear it," Ealson said emphatically. ASI Executive Director Darlene Willis said she could see both sides. "If people see something on TV that they find offensive, they can always turn it off," she said. "These people may have felt that they didn't have a choice. But they can always get up and leave." She defended the right of free expression. "I respect freedom of speech," she said. But the students who complained seemed to have concerns other than free speech. "I think we need to set higher standards for ourselves, because we are worthy of higher standards," O'Shea said. Delawari said that ASI would definitely take the students concerns into account. "It's a learning curve," he said. "We may do it differently next time." �i iiliiwii ASI Services The National Latino Research Center: New Research Opportunities For Students Sharon Hambly PRIDE STAFF WRITER Giovanni Ferrer PRIDE STAFF WRITER Giovanni Ferrer PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride PRIDE STAFF WRITER Dr. Soriano was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. At age two his parents came to the U.S. where he grew up in Fontana, CA. He graduated from Fontana H.S., attended UC Riverside, and received his Doctorate in Psychology at the University of Colorado in 1987. Dr. Soriano stated that education has opened up the world for him and that he has always been interested in helping people with their problems. Dr. Soriano is excited about starting the Youth Research Center for all ethnic backgrounds. Students can learn research to better understand the needs of the youth and come up with proposals for solutions to violence and drug abuse. He is also excited about working with "the experts." These are the kids who are either in gangs, or have already been gang affiliated. He said "what the youth need are opportunities. They need a chance to contribute to society, especially the kids with problems at home. They become alienated, less involved with school, and are at a higher risk of joining gangs." He believes that we must make kids more integrated in schools and the community. "I see at-risk kids as dim light bulbs," he exerts. "Waiting to be turned on by caring adults and professionals." law School KQjQIj By the year 2000, it is estimated that Latinos will become the largest minority group in the U.S., according to a 1992 census conducted by the National Council of La Raza. Even though Latinos will make up the largest minority group in the nation, we have little information regarding Latino populations. In the future, Latinos will become a major part of the U.S. work force, therefore information on Latino populations is important. The National Institutes of Health is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. They provide funding for innumerable organizations and centers for national research studies in biomedical and behavioral sciences. In 1997 the NIH approved a proposal by Dr. Fernando Soriano to fund research on American Latino populations. The NIH awarded 1 million dollars to open the National Latino Research Center, and, through contacts at SDSU, the National Latino Research Center was launched. After two years, Dr. Soriano moved the center to CSUSrM. CSU San Marcos indicated interest in the center and the level of support was greater than at SDSU. Dr. Soriano was also offered a tenured position here at San Marcos and he now feels like an integral part of the university. He remarked: "I wear two hats, one as the director of the center and as an academician and researcher. I spend half of my time researching and teaching, and the other half as the administrator." He expects the NLRC to grow at CSUSM and research to expand. The NLRC will engage faculty and students at CSUSM to conduct research on Latino populations. The emphasis is on generating research. Dr. Soriano stresses the importance of the research to the U.S. reliance on young Latinos that make up the nation's workforce. "[The research is] a clearing house on Latino populations," he says, "a platform for training to increase the ability of students and researchers to know how best to study the populations." Dr. Soriano expressed a tremendous need for students, faculty, and non-students to get involved with the National Latino Research Center. You do not have to be Latino to become a part of the center. Everyone is welcome. Research assistance positions will be opening in the spring of 2000. They are mostly voluntary but some are paid. Students who participate can receive academic credit, program evaluations, and a skill that has great market value; Training is available to students.

Imani Rupert PRTDF. STAFF W RITER Remember those future promises of a larger, more technologically advanced library during freshman orientation library tours? The end is near! But not until August 2003, to be exact, the date set for the new library's completion. With five floors and almost 200,000 sq. feet, it will be larger than Craven Hall. The main entrance to the new library will be located on the 3rd floor (on the same level as with a plaza that overlooks the campus. Book stacks will be located on the 4th and 5th floors. These two floors include desks, tables, and lounge chairs for studying. The 4** floor will house the academic journals, periodicals, microfilm and microfiche. The 5th floor will house the Spanish books and curriculum books to support the College of "University Hall"). This floor will hold new, reserve, and Inter Library Loan books, as well as new electronic products. It will also hold reference books, government documents, and the "information literacy program." (This program is designed for professors who have "library days" to help their students utilize all of the library's resources for class projects). This floor will also have access to a cafeteria 1 Education. A special room will be dedicated to these two types of books and may eventually host a "story time" for children. The 2nd floor will contain the most technologically advanced teaching aids offered at our school as part of the Media Library. The Media Library will expand to include a one hundredseat computer lab that stays open longer than the library. The lab will include "listening rooms" in which groups can view videos, listen to tapes or CD's, or compose multimedia projects. The 1st floor will be comprised of library staff offices such as cataloging, systems, and the resource consultation office. There will also be some classroom space available on this floor. CLEAN-UP cont. frompg. l granite will probably need sandblasting or other powerful water cleaning methods to remove the stains. Though it would be less costly to paint the granite, that is not the best solution. "Paint would ruin the look of the granite," says Holden, who also isn't sure that even sandblasting will remove the blue paint. She says that fading the spots may be all that can be hoped for. Facilities is currently taking bids from painting companies. Within days, an expected cost estimate will determine the work needed to restore the stucco. The university painting budget will cover the cost of the work, unless the vandals are caught and prosecuted. Holden hopes that the ones who caused the damage will be the ones who pay for the clean up. Dial Up" is G reat... W hen it Works Adra Halford PRIDE STAFF W RITER CSUSM Computing and Telecommunications revamped their Dial-Up Service in order to keep up with ever-improving technology, as some students and faculty found out when they tried to connect their computers to the campus modem pool. The C&T Help Desk set service records during the first week of the new service, though calls have slowed considerably since. With midterms approaching, the demand for online resources will once again increase. Students who have not used the free dial-up service this semester should be aware of new hardware and software requirements necessary to access the service. Students who already have an Internet Service Provider may still want to access the Internet through campus Dial-up because this allows them access to research oriented databases like Ideal, EBSCOHOst, ERIC, and First Search. These can be found at: http://www.csusm.edu/library/e databases.htm. It is almost as good as going into the library. Researching from home has the added benefit of nearly free printing, rather than 15 cents per page. The new campus modems support 56K connections, meaning faster connections and less waiting for pages to download once the user is connected. That is where the trouble begins. According to Carlos Archiniega, who identifies himself as "the Help Desk Guy", as midterms approach students should be prepared to hear busy signals and be persistent. The campus now has four types of dial-up accounts, each with its own pay structure and amount of access time. For students and faculty the service is free. Students should keep track of their usage and be thrifty with their online time as they are only allowed 5 hours during peak usage days. Their time is unlimited from Friday at noon to Sunday at midnight. Guests are allowed 14 hours per week, for which they pay $80.00 per year. There is also a paying student line for MBA students and Evers students. Students should also consider avoiding the high traffic times from 4 pm to 8 pm, Monday through Thursday evenings. Unlike the computers in the lab where a student can call a lab monitor to help if things are not going smoothly, students sometimes feel lost in the maze of technical jargon when they have to be responsible for updating their own computers.

Cahill PRIDE EDITOR In the fall of 1996, a white CSUSM student repeatedly called an African-American instructor a "black bitch,"and local newspapers were quick to blame CSUSM's motto of "achieving excellence through diversity" for the whole problem. According to media, this response was "Out of Proportion." The campus administration continued to emphasize that this was an "isolated incident," while students who aligned themselves with the faculty member received bomb threats at their apartment building and had threatening notes left on their vehicles. The "isolated incident" was further accompanied by hate flyers portraying ugly caricatures of members of different ethnicities; these were strewn liberally across campus and parking lots. A group of students formed to counterbalance the disinforma- tion about "isolated incidents," and offset the political maneuvering on the part of just about every official constituency at the university. This group, including members of El Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, Pan African Student Alliance, American Indian Student Excellence Society, and other concerned students, had a simple goal: to have a day on campus on which the campus community would come together to stand against the "reign of terror." A day devoted to standing up for the CSUSM mission statement. It was decided that on October 21 these students would make their stand against the atrocities that were occurring on campus. This resolve led to an event, the likes of which had never happened before, and unfortunately, has never happened since at CSUSM—this despite administrative promises to give the day a prominent place in CSUSM's future calendar. Led by student resolve, the campus came together, turning what was initially to be a student walkout into a campus-wide teach-in. Students, faculty, staff and administrators all worked . together for a common cause: to stand up for the mission statement and stand against racism. It was a day of speakers, workshops, musical events, poetry and food. It was promised then that the event would be commemorated each semester with a celebration of the mission statement. To their credit, the institution did hold a somewhat lesser event the following spring on April 21. The following year, students planned events for the occasion, but approval was revoked. Since that time, little has been done on campus in commemoration of the day. I have often pondered the reasons why the commemoration has not taken place since that first year. Perhaps it is because the mission statement, which evoked such a spirit of unity on the campus th^t first day, has been changed. Perhaps it is because, with its shrinking population of Black faculty, CSUSM has become a less interesting target for neo-Nazi skinheads, so we really don't need a mission statement which emphasizes such things as race, class, and gender, or "respect and decency." Perhaps it is that there are no incidents of any sort of bias at CSUSM anymore because the entirety of the student population has become miraculously enlightened through the hard work of the remaining faculty who do emphasize race, class and gender, so we really have no need to emphasize such things anymore; it is preaching to the Swansea, Wales CSUSM Adrienne R.Lopez clear communication on the campus.

Gonzalez also spoke about Latino enrollment in the California State University system and the University of California system. Gonzalez noted the importance of MEChA's political activism as vital to Latino students in higher education and concluded his talk by encouraging students to pursue degrees beyond a bachelor's. HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT LAW SCHOOL? ? CALIFORNIA WESTERN SCHOOL OF LAW -Accredited by the American Bar Association (1962) -Member, American Association of Law Schools (1967) Educating Creative Problem Solvers London, England Lisa Morgan I have not yet been in England for three full weeks and it is already the choir. Or perhaps it's just that no one cares. Yet as I look out at CSUSM today I must wonder if we've really come so far as to not need such things emphasized on campus. True, there are no death threats against faculty today, but vandalism of posters celebrating Latino figures might in some circles pass as racist acts. It's true, there are fewer swastikas scrawled around campus these days. They have instead been replaced with YAF flyers supporting the freedom to prosecute "sexual deviants" and communists. (California's YAF website declares that multi-cultural centers are communist endeavors). As I look out across campus today I wonder if CSUSM will ever come together again in celebration of what was once our mission.

As someone who had hardly been out of the country, moving 8000 miles away presented many shocks and adjustments, no matter how much advice had been offered to me. Traveling on my own was exciting and terrifying, especially in a big city like London. I came to the university at somewhat of a disadvantage because this is thefirstyear that San Marcos has dealt with this school. This has caused several problems with housing and credit transfers. The flip side to this situation is that everybody who comes here after me won't have to be first, and these problems will hopefully be straightened out. One thing I have learned is that culture shock comes in all shapes and sizes. I was more surprised to see the similarities between England and America than I was to see the differences. They have the same music, the same clothes, the same problems as American students. The parts that have been difficult to adapt to are the unpredictable weather, the traffic, the local, accents, and the FOOD! I have never seen so much mayonnaise in my entire life! If those are the bad things about England, the best thing is the people. Going to a universityfivetimes the size of CSUSM, I have had wonderful opportunities to meet new people. The locals tend to be straightforward and very willing to give advice to foreigners. Also, the other international students here have taught me so much about the world that I never could have learned from a book. Adjusting to a new place comes in phases, shock, homesickness, and acceptance. I still miss "Ally McBeal" and American peanut butter, but every day I learn a little bit more to live without them. I have no doubt that my adventure will turn me into a different person without forgetting what a good thing I have back home. �CSU SAN MARCOS CALENDAR OF EVENTS "Using Verb Tenses Effectively" Noon - 1:00pm.

The Western Opera Theatre, San Francisco Opera's touring company, comprised of young artists, performed Mozart's lighthearted masterpiece Don Giovanni, on Friday, October 15, as a part of the 1999 -2000 season at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido. m m w ta r ev d English subtitles flashed on a screen above the stage, translating the Italian lyrics. The twenty-seven-piece orchestra played vivaciously, and the cast skillfully displayed their talents. The costumes and stage design were modest in compari d h f por ison to operas I have seen on PBS, but they were no less effective, given the nature of a traveling production that moves from one city to the next. The lighting and special effects added to the haunting scenes with Don Giovanni in the cemetery—especially as he falls into thefiresof hell. From the dark grandeur of the Commandant's scene to the daintiness of e D h l lste h Zerlina' arias, the performance exhilarated my soul and unlocked the desire to experience more "high culture." Originally performed at the National Theatre, Prague, on October 29,1787, the opera revolves around the womanizing O 0 e t o i > d® L e v g a s s . Don Giovanni (Phillip Horst), who attempts to seduce Donna Anna (Twyla J. Robinson). Her father, the Commandant (James Creswell), comes to her aid only to be slain by Giovanni. Donna Anna and her fiancee, Don Ottavio (John Tessier), vow revenge on Giovanni, her father's killer. At the same time, Giovanni attempts to hide from a former con-* Otf-%21, o mmd$h m TO® quest, Donna Elvira (Kelly Kaduce). He moves on to his next potential seduction, Zerlina (Carolyne Eberhardt), who is engaged to Masetto (Eric Jordon). In all this mayhem there is the servant Leporello (Vladimir Shvets), my personal liz$tr$hk@9e>lcoTn favorite. The trusted servant tries unsuccessfully to keep Giovanni from his ill-fated demise. The opera transforms music,s ^je $ * comedy, action, romance, and Mozart's wit into a delightful production to please the senses.

CSUSM will begin changing recycling containers this Friday, October 22. Over the next two weeks the university will eliminate the familiar blue mixed paper containers and replace them with black containers. This change is as a result of a new policy at EDCO, the local waste management company. EDCO now has increased capability to sort paper at their plant, which eliminates the need to do so here on campus. The new black containers will hold the following: Newspaper Mixed office paper Magazines, junk mail and slick brochures Chip board and file folders Bound books, except hard covers Telephone books Greenbar paper Ream wrappers Envelopes, including those with styrene windows Pizza boxes (all food removed) Cereal and cracker boxes Paper not acceptable for recycling: Restroom paper Kitchen paper (napkins, paper plates, food containers) Hardbound books Please remove as much metal and hard plastic as possible, including spiral bindings and clips. Staples are acceptable but should be minimized. We discourage Post-It Notes and Astro Brites, though they won't "pollute the load" as they did in the past. Other categories are as follows: Glass— except window glass and very dark wine bottles Plastic bottles—all are accepted except dark blue Aluminum remains the same.

Minto reveals how the Greek statue Nike, a symbol for victory, inspired her to create her sculpture: "My challenge now is to live day by day with the same trust I have when my art is unfolding." Minto continues, "Ray Bradbury said, 'You have to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.' For me, completing the Nike was like graduating to a new stage of life, being transformed from an earth-bound being to a woman who can fly." In addition to showing online exhibitions, Professor Small's discussion dealt with chemical companies that produce carcinogens (non-inherited environmental fac- tors that can cause cancers). "Cancer is not only an epidemic, but also a booming business," says Professor Small. She pointed out that some companies may be both the cause and the cure for some cancers. Particular companies may release toxic chemicals in the environment. For example there are companies, like one named Zeneca, that create tamoxifen, a drug that can be used to treat some breast cancers. At the same time, Zeneca has also been known to produce "carcinogenic herbicides" and pesticides. Professor Small also discussed "super-fund sites," Which are extremely toxic chemical sites found in the United States and other countries. "There are things we can do to clean up our environment," comments Professor Small. She felt that the public should at least be aware and informed in hopes that individuals may reduce their exposure to the toxicity in their environment. Professor Small became interested in cancer research in 1983 when she studied the Bikini Islands that underwent nuclear testing by the United States from the 1940's and 1950's. She says that studies like these have influenced her sensitivity to cancer. To view the Online Art Exhibit, visit http://www.csusm.edu/dsmall/syllabi/women/index.html and click on BCAM. —Patricia A.

Joni made several comments implying CSUSM is a hateful, bigoted, discriminatory school. I don't know what part of campus Joni attends, but I have seen none of this. This is my second semester at this school and never once have I received any backlash for the rainbow necklace I wear, the pride stickers on my car, or my openness about my sexuality. Most all my classmates know I am gay, including all the students in my GEL class, who, when I came out during a class discussion about diversity, didn't bat an eye. Almost every student in my GEL class is just out of high school, and everyone knows high schoolers' reputation for acceptance of diversity. I have held two different jobs on campus and have been openly out at both of them. I never felt any opposition in either setting. I also have four openly gay friends on campus and none of them have ever told me about any discrimination they have felt. One of them is a member of a fraternity and even he proudly displays pride stickers on his car without any problems. I'll admit that I was not at National Coming Out Day; however, it was not because I was afraid. It was because I came out a LONG time ago, and I urge others t o do the same, Scott Jeffries - ®f)e foe 'FREE' SPEECH IN THE 'FREE' MARKET By David Gottwald Amidst all the normal confusion and stress that comes with the beginning of each new semester, something decidedly abnormal struck me this Fall. While wandering the Commons searching for old friends and new classes, I was constantly bombarded with an array of products not unlike the local Escondido Swap Meet. In the course of one fifteenminute interval, I was asked to try Sparkletts water, get a spine adjustment evaluation, lay down (in what looked like a vinyl iron maiden) for a massage, and was persistently hounded by at least four different major credit card companies. Now I 'm sick enough at the thought of CSUSM turning into a deplorable University of North County Fair, but it was these credit card fellows that really got my goat. Unlike the other vendors taking up campus space, they have a great little scam going. Don't want a credit card? Sign up a friend (or complete stranger walking by - 1 was asked twice) and get a free T-shirt. Considering student loans and personal parental debt, I really don't need another bill each month. No problem, they told me. It's a really small amount. No annual fee. Etc. etc. The pluses began to weigh in on my judgment at this point, so it was time for some serious analysis. DEAR EDITORS: I am fairly confident that very few college students have need for a credit card. Every month I manage to buy food, gas, books, and little things like toothpaste with the money After having read the article by Samantha Beltram regarding the POW WOW, I I earn at work. And if for some odd reason I want something outrageous that the TV told was very disappointed to hear that the American Indian students (AISES) are not me to buy, (are you ready for this -it's very shocking) I SAVE.

But the point of this rant is not just to save you money - I wondered with what ease these slimeballs weaseled onto my Campus. So just a few weeks ago I went in to see If (AISES) had nothing to do with the planning, why would the planning commit- if I could have a spot like the credit card guys do.

MEChA Chair OAF Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism By Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER I've noticed that a "new" club has been circulating literature around campus recently. The Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF, that campus group you thought disappeared long ago, has resurfaced once again. YAF says it "supports choices," many of which seem to profoundly affect my freedom. So, in response, I 've decided to form my own club, Ordinary Americans against Fanaticism, or OAF. Some of the items on the YAF fliers circulating around campus caught my eye, and, as president, founder, and sole member of OAF, I want to respond to them here. YAF says it supports the choice to own any gun. OAF is against being shot. OAF feels that being shot goes against, not for, freedom. OAF says, guns d on't kill people, people with unlimited access to guns kill people: OAF says, if YAF members can own any gun they want, let's lock up the ammunition. YAF says it supports the choice to deport illegal aliens. OAF wants to know who's going to bus YAF's table and clean YAF's toilet when the illegals are gone? OAF sure isn't going to. Is YAF saying that members have never picked up a couple of guys from the local alien hangout to clean up the yard for five bucks an hour? OAF doesn't approve of this situation, but acknowledges .that it exists, and that we all play a part school wearing a tasteful Anne Klein skirt with a pair of BVD's on your head, regardless of your gender! OAF says, stay out of my bedroom and my closet, FIT stay out of yours. YAF supports the choice to abolish affirmative action. While OAF isn't sure that affirmative action was the best system, there did seem to be something wrong with the previous system, in which white males got every"I've decided to form thing and everyone else fought my own club, Ordinary over the crumbs.

You may see them walking through the Dome and perhaps on a bicycle if our new Chief of Police Thomas Schultheis has his way. But you WILL SEE them. After taking over the helm here as CSU San Marcos, Chief Schultheis implemented a 24-hour, round-theclock communication center for our campus protection. "We are always o pen," says the Chief. Coming on board in an interim role November 1 of last year, the 22-year veteran, Captain Schultheis, was on loan from SDSU. He was officially appointed on January 1, 1999, as Chief of Police at CSU San Marcos. A new addition to the Police Department also included Lt. Glen from the CSU Long Beach campus. Lt. Glen has extensive experience in disaster preparedness areas and training with critical response units.. The Chief hopes to increase our partnership with the community and other nearby law enforcement agencies. Higher visibility is an important goal of the department. Although their office is physically located off Barham, at 441 La Moree, in the University Services Building, the department has plans to open a "storefront" desk operation on campus to furnish crime prevention material, obtain a photo ID and allow easy access for students. just noticed the warm feeling of blood running through the tube draped over my arm. As it made its way down to the attached plastic bag, I was told to squeeze my arm every now and then to ensure safe passage to the bag. In no time at all the needle was removed and I was on my way to a table of goodies! The actual donating part only took about five minutes. Chief of Police Thomas Schultheis PAUL B LANCHARD/ The Pride Safety of the students is a primary concern for the department. With well-lighted parking lots, and low shrubs, Schultheis feels that the campus gives a strong sense of safety. The department also offers a free escort service in the evenings for anyone who requests it. In the event of an emergency, students can call the emergency line at 750-3111 or pick up any "blue code" phone in the parking lots for a direct line to the police. Chief Schultheis would like to encourage students to bring concerns, complaints, compliments, and suggestions to the department. He says, "We need the feedback to better serve our community."

From Pg. 1 increase our number of spaces by 200 " Williams added that Parking Services has applied for an exemption from the CSU regulations so that they can be authorized to build 600 new parking spaces. He also stipulates that money generated through tickets must be split with San Diego County, and that the Parking Services half "goes to alternative means of transportation," like the campus shuttle and the "Bike to Work Day" promotion. Williams added that they spent over $80,000 during the summer for improvements to existing lots, including new signs and new electronic Daily Ticketers. The installation of the new electron ic Daily Ticketers also prompted the removal, on October .10, of the coin-operated visitor parking meters. The new machines can sell permits that are vali4 for half-hour increments as well as for all day and eliminate the need for the aging coin-only meters. The twenty spaces were equally divided between student and faculty-only use because students aren't the only drivers with a need for more available parking spaces. Williams says that applications for Spring 2000 permits will be mailed in November and that the fee is still $62. "We would rather have you buy a permit, then we can put those funds back into new lots. If we give tickets we only get half of the money and we have to use that money for alternative transportation." DEAR EDITORS: This letter concerns the mid-semester change of policy that revokes facultyparking permits for Graduate Assistants. Our position, as General Education Writing Instructors, is not that of the perceived teaching assistant. We are instructors of record, responsible for lectures, assignments, conferences, office hours, and final grade submissions. We perform the same duties as adjunct faculty. In fact, as General Education Writing Instructors, due to the intense reading and writing curriculum design of the course, our workload is extensive. Each of us strives to provide the type of instruction that will ensure each student develops the strong critical thinking and written communication skills necessary for success throughout his or her academic career. To facilitate our classes, we, like other instructors, need to carry extra books, handouts, and other teaching materials imperative for providing the conscientious instruction for which we strive. An inability to park in the faculty lot will hinder our curriculum development, as we will be forced to reevaluate the way we support our students' needs. In view of the level of service we provide to the University, we respectfully request to retain our faculty permits. The GEW faculty A COPY OF LETTER ADDRESSING PARKING GRIEVANCES: Dear Dr. Zomalt, Ms. Leiter & Ms. Knoblock: I wish to express my feelings in regard to the plight of twenty-four CSUSM instructors* including seven GEW instructors of which I am, one, and the mid-semester revocation of faculty/staff parking privileges because we are also graduate students. New Faucet Change Complies with ADA Standards Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER It is nice to give recognition to someone on campus, especially for a j ob well-done. Whether they realize it or not, Facilities' Maintenance Mechanic Phyllis Ferguson has students' and the university's best interests at heart, and she takes pride in her work. "It really bothers me when we see things that don't work and we walk right by," says Ferguson. In recent weeks, Phyllis, who will have worked at CSUSM for four years come November, changed 36 faucets in Academic Hall. She wasn't supposed to. She was supposed to just repair the existing faucets and only replace any needed parts. Apparently the mixing chamber of the push-down type faucets were malfunctioning, causing some students to be scalded by unexpectedly hot water. Not long after beginning the string of repairs, Phyllis realized there was a better way. And a lessexpensive way. Phyllis recognized that the cost in man-hours to dismantle, diagnose, replace malfunctioning parts (yet another expense), and reassemble the existing units was just too much. And especially for faucets that hadn't undergone any routine maintenance for seven years. She learned that the cost to replace the entire unit with an identical model ($189 each) was also too much. Then she realized that the push-down faucets did not comply with standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). So she proposed to her supervisor, Chuck Walden, the Assistant Director of Facilities, that the faucets be replaced with less expensive ($52.64 each) and ADA approved fixtures like the Simmons Finished Brass Specialty Faucet. Not long after she drafted a formal proposal and performed a three-faucet sample her idea was approved and all of Academic Hall was fitted with new faucets. If the faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years and Phyllis has been on campus for four years, then why hadn't she worked on the faucets earlier? Because Phyllis only just earned the title of Maintenance Mechanic after earning Journey-level status in three trades. Previously Phyllis specialized only in carpentry and painting. Plumbing is the most recent skill she ha$ acquired. What other changes are next on her list? "The water fountains. I would like to see the water fountains maintained a little better," humbly adding "good teamwork is what gets things done. Don Soriano and Floyd Dudley are very instrumental in accepting my ideas and getting them implemented." When asked why she would do so much for such little recognition Phyllis replied with visible sincerity "I care about my students and I like what I do. I 'll always go the extra mile because I like my job." I regard my faculty/staff parking status as more than a privilege. It is a necessity. I teach two GEW 101 classes with a combined total of 41 students. I carry a briefcase. I carry a full semester's lesson plans in a 4-inch binder. I carry three textbooks at all times, which do not include videos, other texts or handouts I may require for any class session. In addition, I carry two file boxes, one for each class. These contain my students' essays, quizzes and exercises. Each student i s required to write nine essays throughout the semester with a revision required for each essay. This translates into approximately 738 essays for me to carry and does not include additional revisions students will present for my comments throughout the semester. For example, last week, I collected 80 essays from my students. All essays had to be carried to my car and, once graded, they had to be carried to my classroom from the car. The paraphernalia I require, and acquire, due to my teaching responsibilities at CSUSM is bulkier and heavier than any backpack I ever carried as a student. Further, my teaching paraphernalia is unmanageable in terms of carting it from the bottom of the student parking lot to my faculty office in Craven Hall 3106. Furthermore, the CSUSM Fall Schedule of classes identifies the individual teaching my sections (and all other sections) of GEW courses as "staff." Therefore, I would argue that the university acknowledges my position as a member of its staff, which does in fact entitle me, and all other "staff'/graduate students, to staff parking. If that is not the case, then I must consider the possibility that CSUSM administration applies the term "staff" in conjunction with the courses I teach improperly. The use of this term in the schedule to describe my position in th& GEW classroom implies something to prospective students of CSUSM. It implies something you indicate by your "policy" decision is not the case. The term implies that qualified "staff" rather than lowly graduate students give instruction at CSUSM. I possess a faculty ID card. I enjoy faculty privileges in the library, media center, and copy center. I have a faculty e-mail address. I have building and office keys, a faculty phone number and an office. I hold office hours twice weekly. I have access to those services on campus that assist me, and all faculty, in offering students at CSUSM the best, and most effective, education we can provide. I receive a paycheck from the state of California for teaching at CSUSM. And, until this week, I possessed faculty-parking privileges. How is it that parking services and the business division at CSUSM can determine that I am not what I know myself to be, and what this institution has identified me as being—a member of the faculty? I appreciate that faculty parking can be a challenge, but I believe there is reason for discussion and consideration of other options before this decision is implemented. In reasonable and practical terms, revocation of my faculty/staff access to the campus is not logical and penalizes me, and the twenty-three other instructors in my position, as faculty/staff and as student. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet and discuss this with you, and to demonstrate to you the physical realities of what your decision requires of me. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride Sincerely, Ricki Muller �Laura Hopkins PRIDE STAFF W RITER State health officials offer these safeguards to avoid Plague: 1) Avoid contact with wild rodents. 2) Do not feed rodents in picnic or campground areas. 3) Never handle sick or dead rodents. 4) Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows. 5) Wear long pants tucked into boot tops to reduce exposure to fleas. Spray insect repellent on socks and trousers cuff. 6) People living in areas where plague is known to occur should keep wild rodents out of homes, trailers and outbuildings. Health officials also cite the early symptoms of Plague as high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands in the neck, arm pit or groin, and advise that people who develop these symptoms seek immediate medical attention. "It was such a frightful thing that when it got into a house . . . no one remained." "It" was the Plague, and in the fourteenth century, Marchione di Coppo Stefani published The Florentine Chronicle, a text that gives us a vivid account of the Plague and its destruction. Its devastation was felt throughout Europe, where it is estimated that onethird of Europe's population succumbed to this epidemic. "Many died unseen. So they remained in their beds until they stank." Today, the Plague still exists, but without the devastating loss of life. According to California StateOffice of Public Affairs, 37 cases of the plague have been confirmed in California, including one in 1998. With prompt diagnosis and proper treatment, the disease is curable in its early stages, but may be fatal if left untreated. There have been no cases of the Plague reported in San Diego County. The fourteenth-century Plague and the twentieth-century Plague* are the same one. H ie disease is caused by a bacterium called Yersinia pestis, and is transmitted from rodent to rodent, by fleas. When an infected animal becomes sick and dies, the fleas look for a new host. Animals and people can become host to these infected fleas and contract the disease. The difference between the Plague of medieval Europe and the present Plague exists in the treatment and understanding of the disease process. In fourteenth century Europe, the concept of antibiotics lay undiscovered, and disease transmission was not understood. The Europeans did, however, realize that quarantine seemed to reduce the spread of disease. Unfortunately, without the antibiotics necessary to destroy the bacteria, Y. pestis, had free reign over its hosts. Giovanni Boccacio (The Decameron) described the symptoms of a fourteenth-century victim of the Plague beginning with "the appearance of certain The P Ugue swellings in the groin or the armpit" referred to as "gavocciloi." The disease progressed with the spread of these "gavocciloi" and then, "the symptoms of the disease changed, and many people began to find dark blotches and bruises on their arms, thighs, and other parts of the body," until death occurred. And according to Boccacio, "few of those who caught it ever recovered, and in most cases death occurred within three days from the appearance of the symptoms." The typical disease progression today would sound like the case taken from California's Monthly Morbidity Report (11/95): May 1995, Kern County. A 57-year-old white female was admitted to the hospital with the history of four days of fever, headache, pain and swelling of the right ankle and inguinal area (groin or lower abdomen), vomiting, and loose stools. The inguinal swelling was confirmed to be a bubo (inflamed or swollen lymph node) infected with y. pestis, and the woman was treated with the proper antibiotics. She remained in the hospital for approximately ten days, and was released in good condition. The Plague does exist, and will continue to exist.

Woodward A self-audit of Parking Services conducted last spring along with a crowded upper faculty lot (Lot E) reveal much needed changes for CSUSM parking this year. The first group to feel these adjustments has been the "Special Medical" students of Lot E. Parking Services has changed their policy and will only issue two-week permits for students with minor injuries, for example. For anything more than two weeks, the student must have their doctor's approval to obtain a special or permanent permit from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). "We used to receive over 100 applications. But since we changed our policy, w e've only had about 8-10 requests," notes Robert Williams, Parking Services Office Manager. Both Williams and Parking Coordinator Dora Knoblock acknowledge that this response indicates that there may have been. some abuses of the system in the past. The Roger Hedgecock radio program aired live from the CSUSM Dome patio on Wednesday, October 27, from 3 to 6 pm. Approximately 50 students, faculty, and staff members gathered on the patio to listen to and to take part in the 3-hour broadcast. Roger Hedgecock, KOGO AM 600 radio show host, and former mayor of San Diego, interviewed several notable people from the San Marcos campus and community. PRIDE EDITOR Vendors for the university like copy repair services do not pay for the parking in the upper faculty/staff lot. The one exception, Aztec Shops, will retain their parking privileges in Lot E because they are the only vendors who do pay for parking permits. Of the 16 teaching associates on campus, 7 have faculty/staff permits, 6 have student permits, and 4 have none, as of Oct. 28. In response to the recent GEW faculty parking grievances, Knoblock noted, "If we extend parking privileges in Lot E towards the GEW faculty, we would have to do the same for all 16 teaching associates, and not just those seven." (Other research by Parking Services points directly to the State Controller iji the Chancellor's Office where teaching associates are not considered nor recognized as "faculty") Williams and Knoblock also spoke of the future of Parking Services in terms of more lots. Parking Services hopes to relieve some of the strain by opening a new lot behind Lot E by Fall 2000. The area behind .FCB will hopefully be leveled, quarried down by the aggregates company to the level of the current upper faculty lot.

Marks called the student newspaper a "tabloid," and stated that The Pride reports campus events unfairly. He claimed that he had "a petition against the Pride" filled with 200 signatures. Naholowaa and Cahill responded by encouraging Marks to write letters to the Editors or articles for the paper. Marks refused, stating that he "wouldn't write for a tabloid" and would rather submit to a better paper like the North County Times. A member of the audience, Juniata Greenlee, took the microphone and said that YAF was encouraging students to sign a petition without properly explaining what the petition was for. She also said, "You can call the Star a tabloid, but I 've looked through the paper, and it isn't a tabloid." College Republican Michael Sannella had also wanted to know why student clubs must pay high ad rates for space in the See Hedgecock pg. 4 A crowd quickly gathered around the stage as soon as the 5:00pm newsbreak concluded and Hedgecock was back on the air. The Pride editorial team, comprised of student editors Samantha Cahill and Leiana Naholowaa, faculty advisor Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER The young woman stood pensively while two men taunted and harassed her. "Hey, blondie," one of the men said, provocatively, touching her hair. "We're going to take you home with us," the other one said, moving closer. "Get away from me," she yelled, before one of the men grabbed her from behind, and she began to defend herself. This scenario could have ended tragically in sexual assault or murder, except that the two men were CSUSM police officer Mario Sainz and SDSU Police Captain Steve Williams, and the woman was a student in the Rape Aggression Defense, or R.A.D., class. At the R.A.D. graduation on October 22, the students demonstrated their skills against their instructors in three progressively more intense scenarios designed to simulate possible real-life situations. ous situations, she said.

Watching the women demonstrate their new skills, it was clear that they had become formidable opponents for any potential attacker. One person watching the simulations commented as she watched the mother-daughter duo successfully defend themselves, "I feel sorry for the guy who breaks into their house." �OPINION 2 Monday, November 1, 1999 Parking and the CSUSM Mission Statement. I have no doubt that the group of grad students who TEACH GEW classes are in fact TEACHers. The two letters to the editors from GEW teachers provide more than sufficient evidence that they in fact teach. However, I do not agree with the logic used for stating that they should have the ability to park in the staff lot. The logic given is that they have a great deal of material to carry, and should be able to park closer to their classes* so they do not have to carry their heavy load very far. If this is the reason for having special parking privileges; permits to the upper parking lot should be given out by backpack weight, not status as a teacher or student. Furthermore, as teachers, they have access to offices, where they may leave their belongings and class materials, significantly reducing the amount that they must carry; students do not have that luxury, which suggests that students should have the upper lot, and teachers should be relegated to the furthest parking spaces. Certainly as college teachers they are smart enough to figure how to manage the loads they must carry through; multiple trips to their car, using a luggage cart like many students have already figured out to do, or using their office as storage units, and the staging grounds for preparing for class that they are intended to be. Clearly the reason for separate parking for staff and students is not due to the distance from parking lot to classroom or the weight of class materials, but to provide faculty and staff with special privilege and status not afforded to students. This is in direct violation of CSUSM's mission statement (http://www.csusm.edu DEAR EDITORS: DEAR EDITORS: /mission statement.html). The mission statement states, "CSU, San Marcos promotes a collegia! relationship between students and faculty. . The word collegial means to be "characterized by equal sharing of authority" and the separation of students and staff into the privileged and unprivileged in terms of something as simple as parking contributes to inequality and therefore an unequal relationship. Either the parking lots at CSUSM should be open to everyone regardless of their status as student, staff, faculty, visitor; or the mission statement should be revised to reflect the administration's preferential treatment of staff, rather than the students for which the campus exists to serve. d jl Gonzalez for President Alexander Gonzalez has what it takes to be President of the United States. As reported by Samantha Cahill in The Pride's October 18th issue; Gonzalez, on October 11th, indicated that it could not be determined if the vandalism of Science Hall was aimed at the poster of Che Guevara. Then when questioned further, he stated that he did not know if the paint and egg would have been on the building had the poster not been there. Gonzalez is right, there is no way for him to know if the vandalism of Science Hall was related to the poster being there, or if it simply was a coincidence that the poster was there when the vandalism took place, in the location the vandalism took place. Furthermore the fact that a poster of a man who represents an unpopular and hated ideology was vandalized at the same time as Science Hall does not necessarily .mean that the poster was the cause of the vandalism. It simply may have been in the way of the intended vandalism, and it is a coincidence that the vandalism took place on a part of the building where there was a poster hanging. Gonzalez clearly has demonstrated the ability to be technically accurate when questioned about controversial current events, just as Bill Clinton did when questioned by Kenneth Starr in regards to his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Bill Clinton's popularity has increased since that event, and I 'm sure that Gonzalez would be at least as successful and popular given his similarities to President Clinton.

Craig's own wife, Lotte (Cameron Diaz), views him as little more than a pet sitter, while in the meantime Maxine (Catherine Keener), his obsession-at-first-sight, turns "using" a man into a fine art. Then one day, as it must, Craig's luck begins to change. He discovers a mysterious door that leads directly to a portal into the mind and body of John Malkovich. With a little practice, Craig learns to manipulate Malkovich as he would a puppet. For the first time in his life, Craig nibbles on the edges of success, only to find that its sweetness lingers for a moment, then is gone. Though flawed with gaps, the film is both funny and grotesque, and it is filled with surprising performances, especially John Malkovich's brilliant portrayal of himself. Not quite Science Fiction nor Fantasy, the film works best when it doesn't try to explain itself. Of course the viewer must suspend reality to accept that a portal into another human being's body and mind can exist, and I had no problem with that. I did have a problem with the distracting, second-rate-science-fiction explanation for the portal given towards the end of the movie. The final quarter almost ruins the film, but not quite. I recommend Being John Malkovich, but with a wince. Rated R.

There are about fifty members between the cross-country teams and track combined, and their ages range from 17 to 26. The team is guided by Head coach Steve Scott, CrossCountry coach Joe Keating, and Track coach Wess Williams. Only in its first year of existence, CSUSM has the best college track and cross-country teams in San Diego County, according to Scott. At the recent Stanford Invite, the women's team finished 15 out of 31 schools, and the men finished 8 out of 25. Scott commented: "there was a lot of competition there, and it was a difficult course. There were a lot of top^ teams competing." Right now, CSUSM is ranked 13 in NAIA competition. Scott says that in the future the school Simon Frasier is "our competition" because they will compete in Regionals against CSUSM. Scott says that the men have a really good chance of making Nationals this year. The Imani Rupert CSUSM men's soccer team is finally here. Khled Al-shafie coaches the team and captains Tony Zepeda and Fernando Diaz. Al-shafie also coaches for the Vista Storm (a youth soccer league) and the San Pasqual High School team.

Topics included security, facilities use, liability issues and financial management. Officials who addressed the group alternately praised and threatened, cajoled and teased, inspired and depressed the leaders who had given their Friday afternoon to this very important cause. The hosts distributed liberal quantities of H allowe'en candy, many handouts, and 3-inch binders containing detailed information all student leaders and club advisors require. Campus Chief of Police Tom Schultheis reflected on the definition of hate crimes and explained how campus clubs are expected to pay for security for large-scale and dangerous campus events. Calvin One Deer, Director of Student and Residential L ife, lamented the precipitous decline in the number of campus clubs in recent years and expressed the hope that the falling-off of interest in campus organizations would reverse itself. Officials explained that before a club can schedule any activity, students must complete a detailed "Activity Risk Assessment F orm/' obtain the advisor's signature, and submit the form to the ASI office.

Cahill PRIDE EDITOR The annual Dia de los Muertos celebration was held this past Tuesday on the Palm Court between ACD and University Hall. The celebration, sponsored by CSUSM's Day of the Dead Committee, included poetry readings and cafavera readings, in addition to traditional altars, sugar skulls, and papel picado designs. Highly decorated altars, covered in marigolds, the traditional flower of Dia de los Muertos, brightly colored paper decoration, photos, and other significant mementos of loved ones who have passed on filled the courtyard. CSUSM students, faculty, and staff joined in the occasion, constructing their own altars for deceased loved ones. Dia de los Muertos is traditionally celebrated in Mexico on the first and second of November. On these days, altars are constructed in honor of deceased loved ones, and offerings are made to them. Offerings include the favorite foods of the deceased, alcohol and tobacco, and items impor- tant to them in their mortal lives. The purpose of these offerings is to honor the spirit and memory of the deceased. The celebration originated in pre-Columbian Mexico. Scholars believe the tradition originated with the Olmecs, possibly as long as 3000 years ago. This celebration was passed on to other cultures such as the Toltecs, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec and Aztecs. The Aztec version of the celebration of honoring the dead is recognized as the most formative in contemporary practices celebrating Dia de Los Muertos in the United States. The Aztec celebration was held during the month of Miccailhuitontli, and was presided over by the goddess Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Dead, and dedicated to children and the dead. Following the Spanish conquest of Mexico during the 16th century, Catholicism added new dimensions to the celebration, blending the customs of the Aztec, and other native peoples. The Catholic tradition of All Saints' Day and All Hallows Eve (Hallowe'en) roughly coincided with the preexisting celebration of Mictecacihuatl. The present day event draws from both Roman Cathofic and preColumbian traditions. PAUL BLANCHARD / The Pride MACARIO Madcap Otis Rocks San Marcos Catherine Armas-Matsumoto June Hodges PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER Coinciding with the "The Day of the Dead" celebration this month on campus, "Death" is the theme for this semester's Hispanic Film Festival, sponsored by CSUSM's Latin World Understanding Student Association, an organization dedicated to promoting appreciation of all Latin culture. Approximately thirty attendees gathered Wednesday, November 3rd at 6:00pm, in Commons 206 to view Macario. Produced in 1958, the film depicts the tradition of "el Dia de los Muertos" in Mexico. A group of young, talented musicians called Madcap Otis provided noontime entertainment f or an appreciative audience on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 1999, in the outdoor Dome area. The program of j azz, blues, funk, country, hip-hop, and gospel included several original pieces written by members of the group. All seven of the performers, f ive men and two women, are in their early twen- Based on B, Tavern's book and directed by award-winning director of photography Gabriel Figueroa, the movie Macario, presented in Spanish with English subtitles, is rich in symbolism and metaphor. The story's main character, Macario, a hard working man living in poverty with his family, meets his destiny with Death. Complex on several levels, the film provided excellent subject matter for the spirited discussion that followed. The discussion was facilitated by the club's faculty advisor Dr. Carlos von Son, who shared his knowledge of Hispanic literature and cinema with those present. See MACARIO pg. 7 ^ ties and have been involved in bands or singing since high school. Rosy-Da wnSelwitz, f ull time music major at San Diego State, started her career singing in c offeehouses with her mother as a teenager. Members of the band include Christian Carriger (acoustic guitar), Ben Todd (bass, harmonica), Rebecca Alman (organ), J. J. Sherman (lead guitar, mandolin), Frank Lazarro (hand drums), a nd. Mark Schneider (percussion). The group describes their music as being "eclectic/psychedelic rock and roll." The group performs at Papa Jacks in the Gas Lamp Quarter, Winston's in Ocean Beach, C ain's in La Paloma and N eiman's in Carlsbad. They participated in the "Live at t he B ay" outdoor music festival in Mission Beach, which l i H i wm§ r- ~ v attracted families and people of all ages last summer. Audience member Pauline Brown described the Madcap Otis performers as having "great rhythm, cool j azz," and Janelle Kent observed, "They are diverse, talented — great blues singing." ASI was responsible f or bringing these multi-talented performers to CSUSM. v ' ** , DANA G. FORE / The Pride �2 OPINION Monday, November 08, 1999 DEAR READER: DEAR EDITORS: A week and a half-ago two different clubs on campus publicly accused The Pride of partiality. One student even accused The Pride of being a "tabloid." If that isn't bad enough, it has come to my attention that several articles and letters printed in our student paper have offended various people or groups of people on campus. These and other negative repercussions to offering a mouthpiece for student voice COULD cause me much anxiety, but on review, I am pleased to be a part of this paper, and a part of this campus community. In fact, CSUSM students, faculty, and staff should celebrate the spirit of openness that allows negative commentary as one facet of the communication that exists between The Pride and its readers. In perusal of other university papers, I notice that student issues explored in their pages are minimal, at best. Most articles come off of the college wires, or a re feature or entertainment pieces. In contrast, our student paper attempts to present fair reporting of actual student news that comes from this university. Perhaps of more importance, our readers feel free to respond to the issues presented in our paper, whether for good or ill. Our writers and editors are students, not experienced journalists. We are still learning, but we are dedicated to offering our readers our best efforts in reporting, writing, and editing the news. Part of our "best efforts" includes facilitating communication between members of the campus community. The Pride has many supporters among the administration, faculty, staff, and student body who offer help, advice, and yes, criticism. On behalf of the editorial team, I thank you for your support and tolerance. Without you, The Pride could not exist. In response to Juniata Greenlee's letter in the November 1st issue of The Pride, I feel it is necessary to point out to you that it was the YAF, not the College Republicans, who accused The Pride of being a "tabloid." I am not a member of the College Republicans, nor do I plan to be, but I must come to their defense on this matter. My own political persuasions can be better described as a conser vative environmentalist, and have led me to vote for Libertarians, Republicans, Greens, or occasionally a (gasp!) Democrat. The College Republicans are a respected, nationwide organization with national leadership committed to the furthering of a genuine "republican democracy (note lower case " R," meaning "a republic")," as specified in the Constitution, "...with liberty and j ustice for all" (not j ust straight, white, anglo-saxon males) with a foundation in the teachings of God and many 17th and 18th Century philosophers. The YAF, by contrast, appears to be a ' one-off' collection of opinionated fascists whose feelings cannot be logically jus tified in any way. Oh, and to those who would quote Leviticus twenty-something or other to me ("'Homosexuality is an abomination,' sayeth the Lord."), check out the new covenant given to us by Jesus Christ (the New Testament), "...love your neighbors,...forgive your enemies,...pray for your tormen tors,..." Good stuff like that. Cynthia Woodward Graduate Intern, The Pride NOTHING FOR THE AVERAGE STUDENT After half a semester at California State University San Marcos it has become painfully clear that if I remain here for my entire college education I will die of boredom. D on't get me wrong, I think that this is a great school academically but besides going to class, there is nothing else to do at this campus. If you have a class on Friday, then I think you know what I am talking about. On Fridays, this campus looks kind of like a ghost town. I am just waiting for the tumbleweeds to roll by the window as I sit inside my half empty classroom. The first thing that I thought was interesting and a little shocking was that the average age of the student at this school is around 28. Now being 18 and right out of high school I didn't EbeJWbe Help Stop Sweatshops By Michelle Jacob I recently attended the California Students against Sweatshops conference in Berkeley. It was there that I learned about the student movement against sweatshop oppression. This movement is nationwide, and the CSU schools are trying to unite to bring about changes on our campus and in our communities. Several representatives at the conference spoke about how their campus bookstores (including some C SU's) are selling sweatshop-made clothing. One example that was showed to us was a typical embroidered college T-shirt which retailed at $ 15 in the bookstore. The woman who made, the shirt in a sweatshop got 3 cents for making the shirt. These extraordinarily low wages are the norm for sweatshop workers, and many people are forced to live in desperate poverty because of these low wages. Is our bookstore selling sweatshop items? This gross inequality is something in which our university should not take part. We need to investigate the products our bookstore sells. Anyone (student, staff, faculty, or community member) who is interested in this cause, has additional questions, or would like to help in the investigation can email: activist55@hotmail.com Scott Weselis DEAR EDITORS: DEAR EDITORS: I have noticed that The Pride now accepts letters and editorials from students on an anonymous basis. In my opinion this is detrimental to the intellectual growth of the newspaper and the campus community. I know of no other established newspaper in the United States that will accept and print letters from those who wish to remain anonymous. It is simply a matter of credibility. I am concerned about those who write letters under the protection of anonymity if you believe in an opinion enough to write it down then sign your name to it also. The realization that the university I attend produces students that are either unwilling or unable to stand behind their own beliefs is very unsettling. It is my understanding that a college newspaper should provide experience in the field of journalism while striving to instill a high amount of quality and integrity for those reporting and editorializing. Respectfully, Brent Wells expect to be in classes sitting next to people who were married and had two kids already. The next thing that I thought was interesting about this school is that there is no on campus living. I understand that this school is still young but it seems to me that no campus living spells no campus life. Also to my knowledge, I might be wrong about this, there is only one sports team. Track. That's great if your good at running but what about all the other sports there are. I understand that the track team is doing very well. But track is not the kind of sport where the whole student body comes out to see them compete like at a Notre Dame football game where the all students paint their faces and all rally together and have a good time. I found nothing like that at this school. These are a few main factors that I can see that are major contributors to the fact that going to school at CSUSM is a bore. I used to think that this school was pretty good until I visited some friends over the weekend at their schools. I must say I feel cheated. My friends are all having the time of their lives and I am here in San Marcos sweating in the hot sun as I watch my college life slowly go by. I must admit that there have been some attempts made to better the student life here at this school but they have had no success. I don't know how it can be done or even where to start, but I do know that something should be done to make life at this school more enjoyable for the average student. Joe I am one of the so-called "tabloid" student writers and I am proud to write for The Pride. I challenge myself to cover many fields. I try to take on as many different topical issues as possible in order to become a versatile writer. I absorb accumulated information and use as much judgment I can to submit an objective article. The information can be helpful for some people and useless for others, but at least i t's out there. For a person to use words like "tabloid" to describe my writing is laughable. But sometimes opinions can carry a louder bark than bite. I can understand people having grievances that carry weight. The person who made the tabloid comment did not raise a valid argument. He supposedly had 200 signatures and brought forward conjectural evidence. Leiana and Samantha held there own on the Mic and correctly represented the newspaper. The advice I 'd offer my fellow students are to submit letters such as this one and take the student newspaper course next semester. By the way, I 've got a great topic for the next issue: "YAF member abducted by aliens!" Whatcha think? RETRACTIONS: In the article "New Faucet Change Complies with ADA Standards" in the October 25, 1999 issue of The Pride, the sentence "...the push-down faucets did not comply with standards defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)" was incorrect. The originally installed pushdown type Simmons faucets' are designed to comply fully with the ADA.' The article also stated the replaced faucets hadn't undergone routine maintenance for seven years. ' The original faucets had not been a regular part of a preventative maintenance program for about one year," says Chuck Walden, Associate Director of Facilities. "Until he had to be temporarily reassigned to a more urgent issue, he [Dennis McFarland, Maintenance Mechanic J was responsible f or maintaining the [plumbing] f ixtures." Mike Spangler, Pride Staff Writer, apologizes for the article's discrepancies. In the October 18, 1999 article "ICC Budget Settled," the vote to grant the Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer $400 in Student Development money in scholarships and grants to pay tuition costs was not a "unanimous" as stated. Pride Staff Writer Penny Lanese apologizes for the misinformation.

Every day the ground shakes on campus and on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Hanson Aggregates. They are a San Diego-based company whose business produces concrete, asphalt, and gravel by using rock and sand blasted f rom the ground. The quarry operation next door to the CSUSM campus is an exchange of excavated granite for the leveling of the land, behind the FCB building and upper faculty lot, towards "building-pad height." Ninety percent of asphalt pavement and eighty percent of concrete come from aggregates. Without aggregates, building is impossible. The United States produces over two billion tons of aggregates per year, and Hanson is ranked number three in national production. Formerly known as South Coast Materials (an entity of Hanson Aggregates), in March of 1999 Hanson decided to bring their San Diego holdings together under one name. Approximately f ifty-five workers are employed at their facility. Hanson made two notable purchases in San Diego County last year. In February of 1998, they acquired HG Fenton, the leading aggregate supplier in San Diego, for a $87.-5 million cash purchase. In December of the same year, Nelson & Sloan was purchased for $37.6 million, making Hanson Aggregates the leading aggregate supplier for San Diego County. According to Hanson o fficials, the market here is "extremely attractive." Hanson Aggregates is a branch of Hanson PLC, the leading UK aggregate company that has been purchasing aggregate companies in the United States. In f act, Hanson says that Hanson Building Material America was the principal engine of Hanson's 1998 growth, which boasted a one-year sales growth in 1998 of 25%, making the total sales for the year $4,992.9 million. i iiil CONDO FOR SALE : 2 br 1 1/2 bath 1190 sq. f t, 2 story, spacious grd. level patio, 2nd level balcony, sunken living room/dining area, brk bar, excellent closet space, low-flush toilets, washer/dryer hook up inside, gas heating, gas self cleaning oven, pantry area, wooden shutters on windows. 2 car garage, green, lush common area w/trees, pool, club house.

I know, it's a horrible stereotype but why should I avoid them if the director, Wayne Wang (of The Joy Luck Club fame), won't. Actress and college freshman Natalie Portman, (probably better known as Queen Amidala f rom the new Star Wars), is the young female lead, Ann August. Susan Sarandon, who gets top billing in the promotional materials, but evidently not because of her acting, plays the "adult" female lead, Adele August. And the male lead? Well, there i sn't one. I expected m ore f rom Susan Sarandon and hoped for more from the movie. T he movie doesn't beat up on men too badly, but nonetheless reinforces gender stereotypes of both men and women. Women are still portrayed as docile dependent victims (of men and of. their own delusions) and men are placed in roles of womanizer, abandoning Dad, and soft-spoken, spineless, insignificant living furniture. The best scenes were given to the young Portman, like when she flips the gender-roles' coin and commands her admirer (Peter, played by Corbin Aired), who has just walked in her front door, "Take your clothes o ff." Unfortunately many potentially touching or inspiring scenes went undeveloped or, in the case of the aforementioned scene, the female character reveals to the audience that she i s not strong enough to continue in such a strong role. Indeed role reversal is a major theme with responsible, rational figure as the daughter, while the mother is a careless spendthrift. The reversals are so spoon fed and superficial that they are boring and predictable. No one ever suffers serious consequences for their wrongdoing, the negative stereotypes go virtually unpunished, and most conversations between mother and daughter end in a j oke without resolution. The film's happy Hollywood Ending lacks the gut wrenching squeeze and instead produces nothing more than hot air. The movie may be inspiring for the sweet-sixteen and under crowd, but if you want to see it I suggest that you call your local theaters f or show times, because I predict that it w on't stay there long past its Friday, November 12 opening date. Breakdown Breaks Out! By Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER By Joni Miller aE il W Boys Don't Cry is a remarkable debut effort by director Kimberly Peirce which imparts the true-life story of Brandon Teena. Peirce guides the audience through the short and tragic life of a young girl who undergoes a sexual identity crisis and faces immense injustice for it in a small Midwestern town. Born Teena Brandon, she transforms her identity into that of Brandon Teena, to pursue a life based on his own truth, that of a man. A courageous albeit reckless effort by the young Brandon to live this life, brings catastrophic results when his female identity/body is exposed. 4/ J^jS;? 0m tik Em PRIDE STAFF WRITER J A ±JT nnl Melissa Etheridge has once again created a compilation of rich lyrics and soulful melodies that engage the heart of any lover. The tide track, "Breakdown," blends the anguish of ending a relationship with the solace of knowing that in spite of the pain, the choice was a good one. The classic Etheridge edginess of the piece compels the listener to ask for more, but she gives you just enough to satisfy the call. "Angels Will Fall," the first single to be released off of the new CD, is rising up the charts. "Angels" fuses spiritual longing with earthly desire and culminates in pure fulfillment, both lyrically and musically. Etheridge takes some liberty in self-expression on "Enough of Me," a passionate track that boasts a Freudian connection of sorts. The song is a real treat for all the codependent listeners out there—something too many of us can relate to, unfortunately. Openly Lesbian, Etheridge addresses the feelings of being different as a child in, "Mama I 'm Strange." This cut expresses the longing to be loved, and the ever present need to fit in, to survive. Hauntingly real and inexplicably vivid is Etheridge's loving tribute to Mathew Shepard, "Scarecrow." Her lyrics capture the senseless persecution the young college student suffered before he was brutally murdered in Wyoming. Her words call out to a nation to be accountable for the intolerance and bigotry that defines us. Etheridge's most political effort by far, "Breakdown" bequeaths us eleven gifts of the heart. The CD is enhanced, and can be enjoyed on your personal computer as well as the best that Dolby can supply. It will steal your heart. Hilary Swank (of "Beverly Hills 90210") delivers an extraordinary performance as Brandon Teena. Moving a few hundred miles from his hometown of Lincoln, Nebraska, Brandon begins a new life in Falls City. Meeting up with some local outcasts in a seedy bar, Brandon quickly becomes part of the family of a small group of bored and equally trapped youth known as the "wall people." The supporting cast of characters include Lana (Chloe Sevismy) as Brandon's understanding lover, Candace (Alicia Goransonrone of the "Beckys" from "Roseanne") as Lana's fair weather friend, and John Lotter (Peter Sarsgaard) as a deranged ex-convict with eyes for Lana.

I also vowed to take time out during the winter break to catch up on some " pleasure" reading. I read an article about "Fung something or other" in a magazine and I thought that I would grab a book at the local library for further research.

According to the Tried & True Manager, research indicates that college students tend toward casual attire for a j ob interview. Although the more relaxed dress code is being allowed in many o ffices today, i t's a mistake to believe this is proper for an interview. "The interviewer's impression of the j ob candidate, made during the first five minutes, is usually the strongest and casual dress reflects a casual attitude," she cautioned. Debra recommends that women look like women but dress in a masculine way; that is, they should wear suits, complementing blouses, plain pumps and a minimum of jewelry.

However, the space has become a catchall of clutter and mess, and it has been weeks since I have felt comfortable sitting in front of the computer to work on my term papers. Sitting in the space causes me anxiety, loss of concentration and worse, it has brought about a trend towards procrastination. I 'll certainly be focusing my feng shui eyes on my office before I prepare for finals. Practitioners cannot guarantee specific results, but "millions of people have benefited from the extraordinary power of feng shui," according to an associate from the Western School of Feng Shui in Solana Beach, CA. Personally - I 'm a true believer and suggest that before you shrug this off as silly superstition, give it a try. The results may astound you! CLUBS C ont From pg. 1 The form requires that applicants attach CPR/FA certification cards and Association/Professional Certifications as well as a Waiver Release Form, a list of Potential Hazards and an account of any Physical Contact Activity. Signatories vouch that nobody will drink alcohol or light fireworks at the event. If a club plans to travel, "it is required that an ASI travel packet be completed and turned in to the ASI Business Office. . . two weeks prior to traveling date." Approval for use of campus facilities should be secured six weeks prior to any event, using a "Facility Request Form.," signed by club advisor and ASI Executive Director. Darlene Willis, Executive Director of ASI, stressed that any and all clubs must manage their money through ASI exclusively^ Any funds collected by any club must be turned over to the ASI, with a completed deposit form. That o ffice sends the money to Long Beach via Federal Express. Any money spent must be requested at least nine days in advance, by 5:00pm Tuesday. The request is forwarded to Long Beach via Federal Express and the check returned to ASI via Federal Express. Clubs may collect their money the following week, on Thursday, a fter 2:00pm. Checks not collected "by two weeks of issuance" are voided. Compliance with this official process is mandatory f or campus clubs. Clubs attempting to raise money are cautioned that "Sales of any items which might be similar to merchandise available in the University Bookstore must be approved by the Executive Director of the CSUSM Foundation or his/her designee." Food sales require the approval of the Environmental Health Services Department. Any musical events, dances, films, speakers and fine arts events where admission is charged or donations collected require the approval of the club advisor, ASI Business Office, Public Safety and the University Risk Management Office. Liability issues figured prominently in the agenda, particularly the legal liability of advisors. The meeting was mandatory. According to the mandate, o fficers and advisors who failed to attend—for whateyer reason—faced "non-recognition."

ATTENTION WORK STUDY STUDENTS THE PRIDE IS HIRING STUDENT ASSISTANTS Recycling for the Future June H odges PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Monday, Nov. 15, 1999, CSUSM holds its 3rd annual "America Recycles Day" and the "Dumpster Dive." The goal is to educate the campus community on the importance of recycling and the importance of looking for and buying merchandise that states: 'Made f rom RecycledContent Materials.' The theme of the program, "For Our Children's F uture...Buy Recycled Today," reinforces the fact that we must conserve our natural resources for coming generations. The message is that if we don't use recycled materials to make new products, then recycling is j ust another form of throwing things away. , Facility Services will staff a table from 10:00am to 2:00pm on November 15 and will share information about the program. Activities planned for the day center on the "Dumpster Dive," an activity that outfits faculty members, staff, and students in protective clothing so they can dive into to Extended Studies and the Faculty Parking lot). Participants will descend into waste heaven, otherwise known as the trash receptacles, to retrieve and identify items for recycling, besides the usual items. The Dive takes place after lunch, behind the FCB Building. This adjacent activity also serves to reduce the amount of waste taken to landfills, and to increase awareness of CSUSM's recycling program. Participants in the Dumpster Dive receive a free noon time lunch of pizza and soft drinks, so reserve a spot in the bin. Participants may also show up the day of the event. Dedicated volunteers will sort, categorize, and weigh trash with an assist from Bill Dean who is with Edco Waste and Recycling. Facility Services and Edco are sponsors of the event. Please call Patti Holden at Extension 4614 with your reservation "for a spot in the bin."

Last Thursday, Dr. Merino gave a lecture b efore an audience of approximately 30 students, faculty, and staff, in University Hall. Dr. Merino reflected on her childhood and how little girls were not permitted to have interests in literature then. She described growing up during the Franquismo period when Spain was under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. She explained that Spain was, and f or the most part, still is, a Machismo dominated society where women are often held back by men. She stated that women could not do anything in earlier generations, but times are changing. Women have come a long way in Spain. Spain is a more liberal society now, Dr. Merino claimed. Women take advantage of their leisure time; they are for the most part domestic and have plenty of time to pursue hobbies. Dr. Merino mentioned that the highest numbers of college graduates in Spain are women. Women are now contributing more books for publication. Dr. Merino recalled a couple of scary moments in her life. One See MERINO Pg. 7 IN THIS ISSUE Opinion/................. 2-3 Psyche Fairy.....

Cahill P RIDE EDITOR CSUSM's Academic Senate passed two new resolutions in their November 10th meeting in response to the September 30th, 1999 d raft revision of the CSUSM values, mission and vision statement, and toVice President of Academic Affairs Karas' July 6, 1999 memo addressing faculty workload. The resolutions affirmed the importance of research and creative activity as an essential element of faculty work, and the benefit of intensive faculty-student ioteraction as an avenue for continued excellence for the university. Background information provided on the resolution notes that "[t]he September 30th, 1999 d raft revision of the CSUSM values, mission, and vision does not mention scholarship and creative activity", nor does it "mention high quality teachei>student interaction," both of which have been central to the university in the past decade. The background information also states that the Vice President of Academic Affairs Karas' July 6, 1999 memo "appears to retract his support for scholarship/creative activities on campus," and "appears to retract his support for high quality teacher-student interaction on campus." Resolution affirming intensive faculty-student interaction as an avenue for continued excellence as a university. Bud Morris, Academic Senator, COAS The faculty resolutions call for a recognition of "the importance of scholarship/creative activity" and "the importance of intensive, high quality faculty student interaction;" and "urges the President and Vice President of Academic Affairs to propose a model of workload accounting that properly registers the significance of these and related activities that comprise bona fide faculty work and upon which the continued excellence of our university depends." Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction is one way CSUSM is able to personalize its instruction f or individuals, and Whereas high-quality facultystudent interaction engages students in learning opportunities and mentoring that enrich students' academic lives, and Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction stimulates students to develop professional interests in their areas of study and, Whereas high quality facultystudent interaction serves the goal of attracting and retaining intellectually engaged students and faculty, Be it Resolved: That the Academic Senate of California State University San Marcos calls upon the President and Vice President f or Academic Affairs to clearly and unequivocally acknowledge the centrality of intensive, high quality faculty-student interaction to the university mission. Further, the Senate urges the CSUSM administration to propose a comprehensive and valid means of accounting for faculty workload that encompasses the f ull range of critical contributions faculty make to the institution, including participation in such activities as independent studies, supervised instruction, thesis supervision, internships, service learning courses, advising, colSee SENATE Pg. 7 Sociology Club AKD "Brown Bag" Voicing Politics on College Campuses Samantha M. Cahill Andrea Cavanaugh P RIDE EDITOR P RIDE STAFF WRITER Members of C SUSM's Sociology Club and Alpha Kappa Delta International Sociology Honor Society co-sponsored a "Brown Bag Luncheon" for sociology students and faculty on campus last Thursday afternoon. The catered event drew approximately thirty attendees including CSUSM students and faculty, as well as students and faculty f rom local community colleges. Sociology Club and AKD member Barbara McCune, passed out brown bags for note-taking to diners as she explained that the original organizing principle of both AKD and the Sociology Club was to provide a "brown b ag" atmosphere where faculty and students could come together and share their research and ideas. In line with this principle the CSUSM AKD and the Sociology Club co-sponsored t he luncheon and invited students and faculty from local community colleges in hopes of fostering academic t ies with other Sociology students and faculty i nthe area. Sociology Club and AKD member Donnamari Cruickshank introduced various CSUSM faculty members who shared their current research interests with the group. The event provided an opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students and faculty to share their research interests. Should students be forced through mandatory student fees to fund groups and viewpoints they find morally objectionable? The U.S. Supreme Court was asked to consider this issue on November 9th in a case where both sides are invoking the First Amendment to support their point of view. Funding for campus clubs at public colleges and universities across the country may change next year if the Court decides in favor of Scott Southworth, a conservative Christian student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. Jordan Lorence, a lawyer representing Southworth and other students who objected to the fees, referred to the students' forced financial support of the groups they ideologically disagreed with as "compelled speech." He said that the students have "a First Amendment right not to speak," on issues with which they disagree. However, attorney Susan K. Ullman, representing the university, said the students benefit from their First Amendment right to hear from a "diversity of voices." Ullman and others have argued that campuses represented by a variety of viewpoints make an invaluable contribution to higher education: "It furthers the university's mission," Ullman said. Student government leaders at the University of Wisconsin support the current system and said that the lawsuit is an attack against racial minorities and homosexuals. ' This is part of a larger strategy to shut down the voices the Christian right disagrees with," said Adam Klaus, chair of the Associated Students of Madison (ASM) at the University of Wisconsin. The conservative students objected to paying fees to support such groups as the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Campus Center. If the court agrees with Southworth, student associations may be prohibited from dispersing funds derived from student fees to groups that engage in "political or ideological advocacy." The case is being watched closely by colleges and universities across the country. If the justices decide in favor of the conservative students, observers predict that the outcome will have an effect on most public colleges and universities. How the ruling might affect funding of student groups at CSUSM is unclear. "The ASI would get a legal interpretation before taking any action," said Darlene Willis, Executive Director of the ASI. "But I would say it would definitely have an impact." Funds are currently dispersed by the Inter-Club Council, or ICC, a group made up of one representative f rom each o fficially recognized campus club. Willis pointed out that the ICC funds activities, not organizations, a distinction she said is critical in differentiating CSUSM from the University of Wisconsin, where the court case originated. So far in the 1999-2000 school year, the ICC has voted to give funds to groups as diverse as the Soccer Club, the German Club, MEChA, and the Computing Society. Willis declined t o say whether she thought that any of these groups engaged in political or ideological advocacy. As to what constitutes political or ideological advocacy, Willis said that would be difficult to define. She said, "If they [the Supreme Court] make this decision, I hope they spell that out." ASI President Waleed Delawari was more direct. "A typical activity funded by the ICC is movie and pizza night. How that could be considered political?" �An Open Letter to Anyone Who Smokes June Hodges Nov. 15, 1999 is the Great American Smoke Out. I hope that many of you will read the literature being distributed on campus on that day and decide to quit smoking. It w on't j ust benefit your own future health, but will also benefit all the friends and family who love and care about you. I lost my favorite cousin to lung cancer in the spring of 1996. Her name was Wiloda, and we had grown up like sisters back in the farm country of Southern Illinois. As kids, we climbed the leafy branches of old apple trees with a salt shaker in hand and ate the forbidden (unripe) green fruit, gathered freshly laid eggs from the hen house, picked buckets of sunripened cherries while standing on top of a high ladder, waded in creeks where water moccasins (snakes) sometimes lurked, cooked tomatoes from the garden in a tin can over our own campfire (and became deathly ill), rode horses and donkeys bareback, and shared secrets, giggled, and laughed at bedtime until we were told to hush. I remember the sadness and loss I felt on the day she got married and moved away with her young Air Force husband. My best friend was gone and I knew things would never again be the same between us. After my marriage, I moved from Nebraska to Kansas and eventually settled in California. Wiloda and her husband, Marion, always remained in Illinois, close to their parents and brothers and sisters. We kept in touch through letters, phone calls, and sum- mer visits and I attended their 50th wedding anniversary. In the spring of 1994, Wiloda called to tell me that she and her husband had been diagnosed with lung cancer that day. They had smoked for a long time, but Marion had quit several years before. Wiloda had not. Her favorite part of the day was to get up early, jump in the car, and join two of her long-time women friends at the village cafe for coffee, gossip* and the first cigarette of the day. Marion died before the New Year rolled around and Wiloda was undergoing extensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments. In the next two years, she would go in and out of remission and continue the debilitating therapy, each time hoping that it would be the last. We talked on the phone, and we prayed together. We rejoiced if the cancer was in remission, and cried if it w asn't. Just before I saw her for the last time, she told me that her chest was so burned and scarred that she would never consent to undergo radiation again. She was in remission when she came to spend her 70th birthday with me. When I picked her up from the airport, I could hardly believe this was my 'Dode.' She was delivered to the waiting room in a wheelchair. Her hair was snow white, her voice came out in gasps and whispers, and her appearance showed the ravages of a very destructive and unrelenting disease. I lowered my tear-filled eyes as I handed her a bouquet of flowers and kissed her. When I hugged her, I could feel the bones protruding through her lightweight summer dress. See SMOKERS Cont. Pg. 7 DEAR EDITORS: Throughout my three years as a student here at CSUSM, I have noticed many changes on our campus. These changes were sometimes thought to be in the best interest of the students, nonetheless the students were never asked for their opinions or suggestions. I often ask my self when I hear about new decisions made on campus, "Isn't it for us the students that this University is here, to educate and serve?" DEAR FELLOW CSUSM STUDENTS: I am writing in response to inquiries regarding the CSUSM College Republicans that I have received in recent days. As I am sure you all have noticed, the College Republicans have been mentioned in one form or another in The Pride paper numerous times m recent weeks. Such attention has raised some questions from the student body and as Chairman of the College Republicans I feel that it is my responsibility to clear some of the misconceptions and inform the CSUSM community o f what the College Republicans are all about. I want to begin by saying that I am not happy about the recent happenings that have been taking place on campus between the College Republicans and The Pride as I believe that I have allowed our organization to slip off track from our originally set goals and focus. Although I do pledge to drop this issue after today, I think it i s important that the CSUSM community at least know why the College Republicans were upset with The Pride paper. On October 7th 1999, the College Republicans brought a California State Assembly candidate onto campus to spend an evening with us discussing political issues and current events. The event was open to everyone and the College Republicans encouraged all students, faculty, friends, and family to attend. To inform the CSUSM community of this event, the College Republicans issued a press release flyer to The Pride paper and also spoke with one of The Pride's reporters. The reporter returned a couple of days later and informed me that her editor was not going to put anything in the paper about events for the College Republicans and that if we wanted advertising for our events we would have to pay for it. The College Republicans did not believe that an article informing the school of the upcoming event was an advertisement. The event was news and the paper should report the campus news. As we all know CSUSM is a California State school and I think the people of our school would have been interested to know what the front-runner candidate f or the California State Assembly would have to say about the future of education. If elected, the way our guest votes in the Assembly could affect every student, faculty, and staff member on this campus. If that is not news, I am not sure what is. This was a clear example of biased reporting or lack of reporting. There are two misconceptions about the College Republicans that I quickly would like to address. First, the College Republicans have been referred to as the Young Republicans on numerous occasions in The Pride. The College Republicans are the only Republican student organization on campus. The Young Republicans are a fine grassroots organization consisting of members between the ages of 18 and 40 but they do not have a charter on the CSUSM campus. Second, the College Republicans and the Young Americans for Freedom are not the same clubs. These two clubs are two totally different organizations and although the two organizations may share some similar beliefs, the College Republicans do not condone all of the activities that YAF conducts. As I mentioned earlier in this letter, I intend to return the College Republicans to our original goals and focus of getting students more involved in the political process. Currently people between the ages of 18 and 24 do not participate in the political process in any significant percentages. We hope to make a difference with that by offering our members opportunities to get involved. This is what the College Republicans do. This is why we were founded and this is what we will continue to do for years to come. We are here to help enhance the campus life at CSUSM. You may have noticed that I often refer to our school as a community. I honestly consider our little school to be its own little community and I love the fact that CSUSM is that way. Our school is unique in that we all benefit from small class sizes and close relationships/friendships with our professors. You just won't find those benefits at other schools. Everybody knows everybody here. This is awesome and the friendships made while here at CSUSM will last us all a lifetime. I love o ur school and plan to be an active part of CSUSM as a proud alumnus, long after I graduate. If you have any questions o r concerns please feel free to contact me at mike sann@yahoo.com. See you in the halls! Thank you for your time, Mike Sannella Chairman CSUSM College Republicans EDITORS' RESPONSE It deeply disturbs me to see that someone on campus such as Phyllis has taken initiative to correct something she saw wrong on her own, and was immediately shunned for what she did (which we all know was the right thing to do) in the following Pride article with the retraction. It is because of people like Phyllis and the many others Tom Weir, Jim Carr, etc...(whom the University is LUCKY to have as employees) who take initiative and fix things they see wrong on their own or go out of their way to help us students, that I love going to this University. The thing I hate is that some members of our Administration don't know how to react when they make bad moves and try to make those who fix them look bad. These Administrators should be able to recognize when they make a mistake and get over it as well as give credit to those who DESERVE it. It is obvious by what the retraction article said that the person who was in charge of correcting this problem at the time was not doing his job, therefore someone else had to come in and correct the problem. Hopefully in the future the Administrators of this University will make better decisions based on input from the students, learn to deal with their mistakes, and move on. News, by definition is something which is duly reported upon after it has occurred; and is not pre-event publicity. The Pride does* not do free advance publicity f or any campus clubs or organizations. The Pride will, if space permits include information about club or organizational events in the Calendar of Events. However, due to lack of time (and inclination) The Pride cannot, and will not retype flyers, letters, or any other form of paper based communications. All submissions to The Pride must be sent in electronic copy. This both explains the lack of pre-event publication for Mason Weaver, and his position on the front page after his talk on campus. Contrary to your statement that there has been a problem between The Pride and the College Republicans, The Pride has never considered itself as having a problem with the your organization (m fact we sought out contributions from your members). However The Pride does take offense to the derogatory comments leveled by the YAF who denounced The Pride as a 'tabloid,'' and undermined the hard work of the contributing students (a number of whom are Republicans). The Pride notes that you distinguish yourself as separate from the YAF, however, the fact that you were, until recently, listed as the membership chairman of the YAF has also been duly noted. The Pride commends the College Republicans, a fully recognized on-campus organization, in their return to their goal and focus of getting students more involved in the political process.

Imagine my surprise as a new CSUSM student only to find out that our program has not been given even one tenured faculty position in the ten years of its existence. Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that focuses on the experiences and issues of women past and present, from diverse race, class and cultural backgrounds. As a program it epitomizes the commitment to diversity that the University considers a cornerstone. The most important benefits of a tenured faculty member would be in providing a liaison between the University and the Women's Studies majors and the necessary program development required to insure that the program continues to address the issues facing women in a dynamic global environment. Currently sharing these duties are Co-Chairs, Dr. Linda Shaw and Dr. Jill Watts, who have the added responsibilities of being faculty in other programs. The University's failure t o provide a tenured faculty member f or the Women's Studies program reflects poorly on CSUSM's credibility in its commitment to this program. It is time for CSUSM Hiring Priority Committee to dignify the Women's Studies program by establishing a tenured faculty position. Randi Jerrell V0 • t ' • *' i. % % % * \ .

I realize this letter may make me an unpopular person on campus, but I believe having minors in a college classroom compromises the learning environment for the entire class. A discussion about children on campus must be initiated. According to CSUSM Policy as listed on the web (http://ww2.csusm.edu/business_serv/206p__Depend_Children_on_Campus.htm), "As a growing campus, CSU San Marcos' facilities are fully utilized, and as a result, it is necessary to limit access to the campus by dependent children who are not currently enrolled CSU San Marcos students." The policy then outlines conditions when students are permitted on campus. One passage states that children shall be "under the direct supervision of their parent or legal guardian who is attending class or work, and is unable to obtain child care for the day. Prior approval by Instructor's or employee's supervisor, or both, is required.'' I empathize with the child-care dilemma of parent-students, but I feel their situation,is no less fair than the situation instructors and fellow classmates are asked to endure when the children become uninvited visitors to the classroom. The "prior approval by Instructor" may often be granted, if asked for at all, in a split-second decision that the instructor is asked to make before taking the final step across the threshold and into t he classroom. The instructor can be placed in the unenviable position of having to choose whether or not to exclude the parent-student and child from class. If allowed in the classroom the child-visitor may adversely affect that day's lecture, or stifle candid classroom discussion, because of attempts to avoid exposing the child-visitor to adult or otherwise sensitive material. I don't have the answer, but I do challenge readers of The Pride to discuss child-care options openly. Perhaps CSUSM's own ASI ("by students f or students") could investigate the feasibility of opening up an hourly day-care service (in addition to the already full ASI Early Learning Center), either on or off campus. Maybe ASI could use one of the vacant o ffice spaces of the Palomar Pomerado Health Services building that sits adjacent to the campus. No one, a parent, a child, instructor, or classmate, should have to "just deal with it." The University Store is very concerned about the conditions under which any product for resale on campus is manufactured or assembled. Therefore, we make every effort to "Buy American" whenever possible. Unfortunately, buying exclusively American is becoming increasingly difficult to do, as ever-increasing numbers of manufacturers go offshore to remain competitive. The University Store, therefore requires every manufacturer to comply with a written code of conduct requiring adherence to minimum employment standards regarding wages, benefits, working hours, overtime, child labor, forced labor, health and safety, nondiscrimination, harassment and abuse, and collective bargaining. Using these guidelines allows us to work with a variety of vendors t o insure that customers are offered the necessary assortment of quality products at competitive prices. We realize that a code of conduct is not a panacea for international labor problems, but we also believe that a code of conduct can be a positive factor toward the ultimate goal of elimination of child labor, sweatshop conditions, and other labor problems. We at the University Store are working diligently to do our part in confronting this very significant human rights issue.

Woodward P RIDE STAFF W RITER By Mark Zornes P RIDE STAFF WRITER Three Kings is definitely a bizarre film but also one of the y ear's b est This movie has some really great action mixed with some weird political humor. The movie takes place at the end of the Gulf War of 1991 Operation Desert Storm. "Are we shooting?" the movie's first words set the pace. The w ar's truce confuses the soldiers that a guy waving a white flag gets his head shot off in the misunderstanding. Later, three U.S. soldiers find an Iraqi with a piece of paper embedded in an orifice of the bottom. An officer issues a rubber glove and tells a private to pull it out. The map shows the location of gold bullion looted f rom Kuwait by Saddam Hussein's troops and buried in a secret bunker. The three soldiers are Sgt. Troy Barlow (Mark Wahlberg), Chief Elgin (Ice Cube) and Pvt. Conrad Vig (Spike Jonze). Sgt. Maj. Archie Gates (George Clooney), a Special Forces veteran who stumbles onto the three soldiers decides on the spot to lead them on an unauthorized mission to steal the treasure. This embarks the movie on a wild extraordinary ride through the desert in search of the gold. Meanwhile, Adriana Cruz, played by Nora Dunn as a driven journalist who just wants a story at any cost follows the men on their escapade. She adds a lot of the parody comedy that the film seems to embellish. Most movies show bodies being hit by bullets and blood splattering out of them, but this one sends the camera inside to show a bullet cavity filling up with bile. It is a great piece of work and is just one reason why this movie is so incredible. Also, cameraman Newton Thomas Sigel uses a grainy, bleached style that gives this movie its identity and is like nothing most viewers have seen on film. A political undertone thrives all through the film. It is pure irony that while Iraqis kill Iraqis the American gold thieves prosper from their anguish. Getting the gold was easy and getting it out of Kuwait posed some troublesome problems f or the sol- "It was better than the first one.

Toy Story 2 also Rated R lacks the story development of the original movie. Toy Story offered the viewer insight into the imaginary worlds of two young boys, the emotionally healthy Andy, and the emotionally twisted Sid. The implied horror of Sid's psyche was far scarier, and far more real, than a toy kidnapping can ever hope to be. There are few surprises in Toy Story 2. You can pretty much predict the plot every step of the way. But what is tedious for me can be fabulous f or a 10-year-old child. My son loved the movie. The computer-generated animation is still impressive, and there are lively moments sprinkled throughout—like when a bevy of Barbie dolls dance to music a la Beach Blanket Bingo. The characters are still lovable, and hip enough to coax lots of laughs. Compared to many movies targeted for children, Toy Story 2 didn't bore me, at least. I recommend you go, but take a child. Opens Thanksgiving, Rated PG �CSUSM Swansea, Wales GSUSM London, England Immunization Adrienne Lopez Lisa Morgan Student Health Services (SHS) is holding free MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) Shot Clinics for students born after January 1, 1957 and who need to satisfy the CSU-wide immunization requirement before the beginning of their second term. Students who have not provided proof of prior immunization to SHS will have an "I-hold" placed on their record and will not be able to register for Spring classes until satisfying the CSU requirement. I am attending the University of Wales at Swansea, which is a campus that holds about 11,000. The academic system here varies a bit from what I 've been used to at CSUSM. Here, they require 3 years of study and the fourth year is considered graduate work. I am taking four* classes that extend throughout the year. This system is exciting for me because it allows me an opportunity to study a few subjects in depth. The classes do cover a lot of material, but the material is more focused. I get to learn more about my field of study, instead of a little about everything. Although you can take classes outside your major, in Wales there is really no such thing as general education. Also, the whole atmosphere is a bit more relaxed. There is a lot of competition to get into universities, so the students seem to take their positions and studying a bit more seriously. D on't get me wrong, people still want to have f un, however they d on't take their roles f or granted. Students are expected to do a great deal of independent study. For example, f or one literature class I have a suggested reading list of 10 to 20 books. I am not expected to read them all, but they are available to me when I go to write my papers. In most departments two papers are due—one at Christmas break and one at the end of the year in May. Most visiting students d on't have to sit for exams in June, but are graded by merit of their two essays. EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM: The educational system here surprised me, but not because it is so difficult. What surprised me was that I only spend six hours per week in class. I have three classes this semester, which is the equivalent of 17 U.S. units. Most of my time is spent on independent reading. Since I am here studying British Literature, my classes require me to read at least one novel per week. The grading procedures are tough getting used to, too. There are no tests and* no quizzes in these classes. My grades will be based on a single essay ttfat is due on the last day of each class. Sometimes a group presentation or smaller essay will make up 20% of the grade, but that situation is very rare. Talking about breaks, we get a month off f or Christmas and a month off for Easter!!!! Can you imagine. That is a nice chunk of time. One drawback, though— papers are due as soon as you arrive back f rom the Christmas holiday. There is great deal to do and see, not only in Southern Wales but in all of Europe. Southern Wales boasts the largest number of Castles in Britain, and the most beautiful rugged coastlines. Wales also has two major national parks featuring green countryside and breathtaking mountain top views. You can get away for a weekend or longer if you wish. As a Southern California girl, I must say I have been adjusting fairly well to my new surroundings. I have even begun watching Rugby, which is a big pastime here in the pubs. Even if beer drinking is not your f avorite, hobby, there is an overwhelming number of activities and clubs to choose from. The Welsh people are incredibly nice, as are many of my fellow international students. There are visiting students f rom all over the world: Africa, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, India, and Japan. TRAVEL: Travelling around Europe is something I had always dreamed about but never had the opportunity to do. This program has given me a chance to see not only the major sights that everyone knows, but the less well-known places that are just as beautiful. My first day trip was to York, where I saw the moors and the ancient city that includes the oldest cathedral in Europe. Last weekend I took a 2-day trip to Liverpool f or my birthday. Although most of the tourists were there f or all the Beatles tours and museums, the city of Liverpool i s an architect's dream—it is a beautiful city. I have a f ew more trips planned, including visits to Edinburgh and Amsterdam. Many people have asked me why I came here. They cannot understand why I chose to study literature when I am a liberal studies major planning to be an elementary school teacher. Well, my answer is that since the educational systems are so different, I decided to study in my special field- Literature and Writing Studies. I chose England, not because I already knew the language, but because there is no better place to learn about British literature. Also, it was the least expensive program available to me. SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERICA: As soon as I stepped off the train and met the girl f rom the university who picked me up, I noticed she was eating a Snickers bar, drinking bottled water, and wearing a t-shirt printed with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" on it. When we got into the car, the radio was playing songs by all American bands. It was as if I had never l eft California. But eventually I saw the big differences and I 'm learning to live with them, Now t hat you've gotten into c ollege By Mike Spangler P RIDE STAFF W RITER Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (German Measles) are commonly known as childhood diseases that can be spread from person to person through the air. When viewed as a group these diseases can cause anything from a runny nose to meningitis to birth defects and, in rare instances, death. Literature from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services suggests children should get two doses of the MMR vaccine after they have reached one year of age. The doses need to be separated by at least 28 days but are preferably given three to five years apart. The official Vaccine Information Statement also states that people "who have ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to gelatin, the antibiotic neomycin, or a previous dose of MMR vaccine" should not get MMR vaccine. Students claiming exemption for medical reasons must provide a letter from a physician to SHS. Student exemption from immunization is also allowed for religious or personal beliefs. By choosing to sign the exemption document and removing their I-hold from their record, students acknowledge "that in case of an outbreak of measles [the student] may be temporarily excluded from classes."

The Great American Smokeout Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Are you one of those students who can't wait for class to end so you can smoke a cigarette? Have you ever wished you could quit smoking? Those smokers who want to quit will find support on Thursday, November 18, when the Great American Smokeout takes place nationwide. The Great American Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society since 1977, is intended to help people to quit by encouraging them to stop smoking for just one day. The Peer Education and Support Program at CSUSM will stage an event at Founder's Plaza from 9:00am - 2:00pm which will include giveaways, smoking cessation ideas, and a video presentation. Although a great deal of support will be available for the Smokeout, CSUSM Health Services o ffers help to people who want to quit smoking at any time. Health Educator Susan Pool Carman offers suggestions to help people give up tobacco. In addition to using nicotine substitutes such as patches or gum to ease the transition, Carman suggests getting plenty of exercise and drinking lots of fluids. Finding something to keep the hands busy can help to break the habit, she said. Finally, forming a support system of non-smokers and temporarily avoiding people who smoke can help a person successfully quit smoking, she said. Smoking is actually on the rise among teenagers and young adults, according to the American Cancer Society, even though the evidence continues to mount that Carman suggests that choosing an optimum time to quit can increase chances for success. Trying to quit during times of extreme stress can be difficult, she said. Keep in mind, however, that "there's no perfect time to quit smoking." Choosing a time of transition, for example, when acquiring a new car or a new apartment, can actually help to break the habit, she said. "Sometimes a new environment can make a difference." ' Whether to quit gradually or abruptly depends on the smoker and the extent of the habit, Carman said. Those with heavy smoking habits may want to consider the gradual approach. For anyone planning to quit "cold turkey," Carman suggests selecting a "quit date" in advance and using the interim time to cut down and plan strategies to deal with the stress of giving up tobacco. smoking is a deadly habit. "People think they're immortal," said Lisa Kunschick, Chair of the Great American Smokeout event at CSUSM. Cigarettes kill more Americans than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs, and fires combined, according to the ACS. Nevertheless, more than one mil- lion children will start smoking this year, and one-third of them will die as a direct result of their addiction. Besides the health risk, another incentive to quit smoking is the cost of cigarettes, which are becoming prohibitively expensive. The California Department of Health Services tries to encourage people to quit by showing them what they could buy if the money spent on cigarettes were available for other things. Going without cigarettes for one week will buy a new CD, and going without cigarettes f or one month will buy two concert tickets. A person who quits smoking for one year could purchase a trip for two to Hawaii! Many people begin smoking in the military, Carman said, or as the result of peer pressure from friends. Whether a person starts smoking in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood, for whatever reason, no one plans on becoming addicted. Few people envision themselves the victim of a pack-aday habit, either. Carman shakes her head. "Somewhere between one and twenty cigarettes it becomes an addiction." For those people struggling with the desire to quit smoking, and for anyone dealing with the stress of upcoming finals and the holiday season, the Peer Education and Support Program is presenting a workshop on stress management called " Don't Let Your Holidays Be a Turkey." The workshop takes place on Monday, November 22 f rom Noon 1:00pm in UH 237. In addition to offering techniques f or stress management and relaxation, refreshments will be served, and there will be a drawing to win a gift certificate for a f ree turkey dinner or other groceries. Students can enter the drawing during the Great American Smokeout event or at the workshop. Another opportunity for relaxation and stress relief exists at Student Health Services. The "Alpha Chair" is a comfortable egg-shaped chair in a private room where the student can view relaxing videos or listen to music. The Alpha Chair is available by appointment only - call 750-4910 to schedule. �SENATE Cont.

Pain, fear and love filled my whole being for this cousin who had endured, so much suffering in the past year. During her short visit, she taught me a new version of Canasta and we laughed and reminisced about all the good times we had shared. We looked at family pictures and reconstructed the day and where the photo was taken. We remembered the family reunions when her parents and all of the numerous aunts and uncles were still alive. I cooked my favorite recipes for her but she would take a few bites and say she couldn't eat anymore. She lived on cans of a high protein, whole food drink. She rested several times a day. I gave her my 'positive thinking bear' that would say "I love you" and "You are a good person" when she pushed a button in its back. I kept my bedroom door open at night so I could s ee her across the hallway. One night I saw her hold the bear up and I heard her say, "I love you, too." Soon it was time for her to f ly to Phoenix to visit her two sisters. She told me that she still had hope f or recovery, but if the cancer returned, she would not go through any more treatment. She told me, "Everything is in order. I 'm ready, June." The cancer did return and she passed away several months later. There are times when I come across a great recipe and think, " I'll send this to Dode." She loved to cook and eat. She was a God-fearing woman who loved life, but she also loved smoking. She paid for that love with her life. I miss you, Dode. If you' ve thought about giving up cigarettes, please try it today. It won't be easy, but the reward will be great. MERINO Cont.

Program Coordinator Marsha Gable, Fallbrook High School student Stephanie Opatik, her parents, and UB alumnus/CSUSM undergraduate student Anthony Lastrape, spoke on behalf of the Upward Bound program for the discussion. Radio host and interviewer Ken Leighton was described by Gable as "very supportive, interested, and excited about the work we do for 55 kids in North County." Although the UB segment was broadcast on a Sunday, the actual interview was pre-recorded on Thursday night, November 11. Peter Miranda, a s tudent at El Camino High School, arrived too late f or the "North County at Large" show but just in time for a spontaneous live broadcast. At 8:00pm, the Upward Bound troupe were recorded live for ten minutes on AM 1000 (KCEO). Gable said she was "nervous," but the experience was "fun and successful."

Phantom of the Opera Film: James Bond Dogma PRIDE EDITOR The Great American Smokeout, an event that encourages smokers to quit for the day (and permanently), was celebrated at CSU San Marcos on Thursday, November 18 in Founder's Plaza. Peer Education and Support (PEAS), an official d ub on campus, had coordinated the event and invited Kaiser Permanente, Palomar Pomerado Hospital, and UCSD to the cam-' pus. The organization of nine students, which includes PEAS Peer Educator Karyn Harmon, oversaw the organization of tables and distribution of information and literature. "We've had a lot of people stop by - a lot of smokers and a few people who have quit for the day," stated Karyn. The American Cancer Society provided pamphlets, flyers, and banners for the Smokeout. Their videotape "Advertising: How Does it Rate?" played on a television monitor and showed 14 different no smoking commercials and ads that were funded by the state of California. Although unable to attend the event, UCSD Medical Center supplied CSUSM with "You Can Take Charge" cards that offered a I-8OO-NO-BUTTS smoker's helpline. A giant cigarette constructed by the PEAS members blew a stream of smoke to crowds of passing students while smokers and volunteers alike met face to face over help materials. During their free noontime barbecue in front of the Dome, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) sent students to the Smokeout event by advertising signs for free drinks up at the Smokeout table.

Students from San Diego State University and over 50 students from high schools came from' all over the North County of San Diego, including San Marcos, Poway, Fallbrook, and Vista. The conference, first held two years ago, focused on education and.political/community activism as a means to motivate students to continue in their studies in the university. This objective was promoted by student speaker Flora Aguina, as well as keynote speaker and community activist, Ismael Avilez, who is currently heading an organization of parents struggling to get a bilingual and adequate education for their children in the school districts. Along with motivational speakers, the event provided workshops for the students such as "The Chicano Movement" (which covered the Chicano Movement of the past and what it is today); "Raza in college" (a workshop that allowed f or the high school students to learn about college life from See MEChA Pg.

It is time for someone to voice dissatisfaction with the administration of CSUSM, The Pride, and the entire Cal State college system. This past Thursday 11-11-99 was Veteran's Day. There was nothing about it in the newspaper. There were no planned activities by the administration. There wasn't even an acknowledgment by the school in any way to honor the veterans except for the appearance of a few students wearing items that identified them as veterans. It is disgraceful that the Cal State college system has as its policy one that refuses to acknowledge the most multi-cultural organization in this country- the United States military. This is especially true f or CSUSM, which prides itself on being founded on multi-cultural principles. Nowhere in this country is there an organization more integrated in gender, ethnicity, and wide-ranging belief systems. There are three flag poles in front of the campus, two are always flying a flag. Hie third stands empty the majority of the time, Would it have been a harmful gesture of respect for the administration to have flown a POW-MIA flag from this standard in recognition of the service of veterans? There are a number of veterans at CSUSM who are students. I 'm sure there are a number of faculty that are veterans, though for some reason they don't wish to acknowledge it. While most other groups have their special celebrations and designated awareness days, weeks and months, and the system ensures that these are advertised and supported, the veteran has one day a year designated to honor her/him. It is shameful that the CSUSM administration is so blatantly neglectful. Remember, without the veterans, none of you would have this campus, your educational opportunities, nor your job. I was very happy to see the prompt response by the University Store. I think this demonstrates how our administration seems to have a genuine concern about this important issue of labor rights, However, I was hoping that the response would have been more specific. Respectfully, R. D. Hawkins Dear Editors: In response to your Editors' Response in the last issue of The Pride, I believe it is important to clarify some errors that your staff had made while addressing the College Republicans. h The Pride said: "Contrary to your statement that there has been a problem between The Pride and the College Republicans..." My statement never included the word problem as I, like you, do not consider the College Republicans as having a problem with The Pride paper. I did say, "I aip not happy about the recent happenings that have been taking place..." Happenings do not necessarily equate to problems. 2. The Pride said: "you were, until recently, listed as the Membership Chairman of the YAF..." I was the Membership Director, not Chairman. Minor mistake, but nevertheless could be easily misconstrued as me being the Chairman. Thank you for taking note in that I am no longer a member of YAF. 3. As the Chairman of the College Republicans, I respectfully ask that when The Pride Editors are handling disputes in which they have with other student organizations, that they do not attempt to refute their problems in the same Editors' Response that is directed to the College Republicans. It would be greatly appreciated if you would handle your disputes in separate articles. Thank you for your time, MikeSannella Chairman CSUSM College Republicans r 1 Consider Your Pride! gj Enroll in LTWR 316/COMM316 6:00pm - 8:50pm Tuesday 7:00pm - 8:50pm Thursday Be A Pride Staff Writer k In order for students to be sure we are not buying sweatshop garments in our bookstore, we need to know what code of conduct is required. Not only do we need the details of that code, but we also need to know who monitors and enforces the code, In addition, we need to know the factory locations of the companies who supply our University Store. There are good reasons why those last few details are important/First of all, there are companies who create codes of conduct which are not acceptable. In El Salvador, for instance, a one day "living wage" (which determined how much sweatshop employees were going to be paid) was based on calculating half the price of food for one day. That's it. No clothing. No shelter. No transportation. No toys for kids. No money for educating kids or adults in the family. Just half of the cost of food. The second reason 'specifics' are important is because whoever monitors and enforces the code is very powerful in this industry. Companies who oversee their own codes are not objective. It is too hard for them to see the injustices that they bring upon the laborers. To them it is just business as usual. Also, it is often the case that managers and supervisors are merely doing what they can to keep4 up with the demands that come down from headquarters in corporate America. The third request of naming factory locations is important because we need to know which American companies truly do their business in America/ Recently, because of pressure being put on by students, companies such as Nike and GAP(Gap, Baby Gap, and Old Navy) have started naming where their factories are located. Of course, most of their manufacturing is done overseas in sweatshops. The millionaire and billionaire managers and owners of these companies gave the excuse that the responsibility was "out of their hands" because they couldn't be in all places at once to monitor labor conditions. This is no excuse. I can't believe it is impossible to set up a monitoring system to make sure workers are not suffering and starving in their factories. They just'don't Want to 'waste' their profits on such a monitoring system. At the "Students Against Sweatshops" conference, we had women who were former sweatshop employees speak to us. They spent many hard years slaving over clothing made for colleges. When these women tried to organize labor rights movements, they were fired, their families were threatened, and also the women were followed and told they would be killed. This is why it is important to make sure that we truly are doing all we can to bring about equality. We need to stop the horrible practices of sweatshops by making sure the people in corporate America realize it is of utmost importance to the consumers that they give all laborers a living wage and treat them with dignity. I am happy that our University Store requires manufacturers to follow a code of conduct. However, I hope that the details of this code are made public so that the students can decide if it is the code that we want our clothing manufacturers to follow. This is a very complicated issue. However, one detail is very simple: The people who make billions of dollars from sweatshops are going to continue their abusive practices until the consumers demand otherwise. Michelle Jacob In regards to Joe's letter to the editor that appeared in the November 8 issue: Joe, my gosh you spent a whole semester and a half at CSU San Marcos and just now realizing you're bored? One would have to question why yoti didn't think of this BEFORE you enrolled here. It seems to me there are a 'cazillion' colleges you could have picked from. Perhaps you should question why you picked CSU San Marcos to begin with? Was it the price tag? The ease of which you got accepted? Is it possibly the location to your home, etc.? Did your parents have say in the matter? Wow, I could go on. I 'm just very curious why you DID choose CSU San Marcos—surely there had to be a good reason for choosing a commuter college. Also you mentioned that the average age of the students here is 28. I 've been brought up to think that people at any age can enrich and add to an environment, rather than take away from it. You mention a lot of factors that contribute to this school being a bore. If you are so interested in sports, then why didn't you pick Notre Dame or some other school? If your friends are all "having the time of their lives" living in dorms, then why don't you change schools so you can be with them? If you choose to stay at CSU San Marcos, then why don't you try joining one of the many successful clubs on campus, call the Associated Students Office, and just get yourself involved? However, remember that CSU San Marcos has a writing requirement in all classes and that may limit the amount of time you have to party. The bottom line i s that you have to decide what is important—a party life or graduating on time, before you become "28" years of age.

Pg. 1 Chalk Marks By Victor Mireles As the days of optimism fade from view and the cold hard reality of school work finally sets one into a routine of study and sleep, there are some things on campus that "remind us that tiiiie truly flies while you're alive. There are the leaves that have turned a wonderful shade of brown, the mountain behind the Science Hall that has shrunk to the size of a foothill, and the term papers that seem to come all at one time, even though they were assigned two months ago. Yet, as I walk the mile from my car to the campus on top of the hill I notice the once proud graffiti of rush week refuses to let go of the year and wash away. Why am I mentioning this to you? The reason is simple. Life moves much too fast for all of us. In a world where news is old in three minutes, every stcflre looks like a box, and houses are made of cheap white stucco, one should take a moment once in a while to look out from on top of the hill on campus. the North County San Diego area. It is a federally funded TRIO program f or low-income and firstgeneration high school students who are motivated to attend and succeed in college. Because the Upward Bound program at CSUSM was rated in the top 2% in the nation, they are currently operating in their "bonus" fifth year (grants are typically funded for 4 years only).

Kaiser also recommends stress balls, walking, and exercise programs to help kick the habit of smoking. will 'click' to help them quit smoking," Cabral stated. For many smokers, the immediate incentives are health benefits while for others, it is money. After one year of quitting smoking, the "heart disease death rate is halfway back to that of a nonsmoker" while saving $1,080, the cost per year for a single pack smoked per day, according to the literature provided. Helen Lindner, Health Educator for Palomar Pomerado Hospital, noted the combination of pharmacological aids with behavioral modification types of programs. Lindner recognizes the need to match the psychological and physical components of quitting, "The nicotine 'patch' will eventually lessen symptoms of withdrawal. For a lot of people, this can be really helpful." Amidst the excitement of the life-affirming event was the story of one student who had approached the Peer Educators and Health representatives. The student had quit smoking for good at a Great American Smokeout in 1983. For more information on Peer and Support Education (PEAS) - contact CAPS at 750-4910.

The World Is Not Enough- the 19th, I think, James Bond filmlives up to the 007 legacy in- a serious way. Supersaturated action, shameless sexual innuendo, most excellent gadgets and vehicles, and an entertaining spy plot pull the movie together. Pierce Brosnan continues proving he's the best 007 since, Connery. He puts in a great performance (The man straightens his tie while speeding underwater in an open topped boat!), as the "decadent agent of a corrupt Western power," although I 'm still angry that James Bond does not smoke in the films any more. Although The World Is Not Enough is not as good as Tomorrow Never Dies (How could it be, without Michelle Yeoh?), I thought it was still Bond in full effect. v I won't give it away because it's worth the surprise, but the person Q is grooming as his replacement is an insane choice, but a good one. ; I hate Garbage, but they did a "Dogma-- one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time." Dogma is a grand satire of the structure and practice of religions. In this case, Catholicism happens to be the example. The movie brings up controversial questions about the interpretation of God and Jesus the Messiah. As an example, Cardinal Glick thinks the crucified Jesus is too "depressing" for people, and resorts to a cartoon-like buddy Jesus giving the thumbs-up sign. Dogma exposes other controversial ideas such as God as a female, Jesus not being white, and Mary and Joseph having children after the virgin birth of Jesus, The movie asks the questions: If these were the cases, would the religion change? Would the people take the religion the same way? Would it make any difference to the overall message of the religion? After a blatant disclaimer to "cover one's ass," Dogma opens with the Cardinal Glick (George Carlin) announcing the rededication of his New Jersey church as part of his "Catholicism WOW!" campaign. Meanwhile, in a Wisconsin airport two fallen angels, Loki (Matt Damon) and Bartleby (Ben Affleck), receive an anonymous letter informing them of the rededication and a church decree that anyone who enters the church arches comes out cleaned from sin. For disobedience, God sent Loki and Bartleby to live with the humans until the end of time. After the end of life, the fallen angels are condemned to sit in front of the gates of heaven. Getting a "clean slate" ensures the fallen angels a way back into heaven, so Loki and Bartleby make their way toward the east coast. At the same time, Bethany (Lindo Fiorentino), a doubtful Catholic working in an abortion clinic, is visited by the voice of God Metetron (Alan Rickman). Metetron tells Bethany of the news and sends her on a mission to prevent the angels from entering thechurch. On the way to New Jersey, Bethany teams up with the prophets Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Dogma Director Kevin Smith), the 13th apostle Rufus (Chris Rock), and the muse Serendipity (Salma Hayek) to achieve the will of God. This is a must-see movie for any person not easily offended by the questioning of the structure of religion. The movie is classified as a comedy, but the moments where comedy and theology intertwine may make the deeply devout or narrow minded miss the overall message of the movie: Why do we believe in what to do? Why can't we have ideas instead of believing anything? good generic 007 song, "The World Is Not Enough."... The (Whatever happened to SPECTOR?) PHANTOM m i V ML. OPERA B^ Jessica George "Turn your face away from the garish light of day" and go to the Phantom of the Opera. If you have never been to a theatrical production then the Phantom of the Opera is an excellent opportunity to indulge your senses. An elaborate recreation of the Paris Opera House sets the mystical mood for Andrew Lloyd Webber's renowned musical. The plot goes back in time to the Opera House in 1881 and relates the story of Christine Daae, played by Rebecca Pitcher, who struggles with fate, fear, and love. The Phantom, portrayed with emotion by Brad Little, is lustfully entranced with Christine and pushes her career to the top through Opera House hauntings.

More importantly, they lack the understanding that "it could happen to me." For many years, we have been fed information on HIV and AIDS. The need for prevention and awareness has literally been shoved down our throats. Information overload may distance ourselves from the disease. Thus, we continually forget how important it is to acknowledge that HIV is still alive; we fail to realize that we are responsible for controlling its spread. More importantly, it is essential that we remind ourselves that HIV can affect our lives, and/or those we love. Many are unaware that North County is the home for the only two licensed care facilities for men and women who are living with AIDS in all of San Diego County: Fraternity House, which is located in Escondido, and Michaelle House, which is located in Vista. Recently, another Peer Educator and myself visited Michaelle House to learn more about people who are suffering from AIDS . House, where women and men living with AIDS are comforted by her tremendous efforts in making AIDS recognized throughout San Diego. Currently, Michaelle House is comprised of ten residents (seven men and three women), as well as an energetic and loving licensed staff (cooks, nurses, administrators, etc.).

It is well-being." The recently formed Health, Counseling and Disability Services (HCDS) publicized their first newsletter, The Mind Body Connection, last week to introduce themselves to the campus community. The publication is the first in a planned series of four for the academic year, and is funded by a grant from the State Lottery Commission, the California Lottery. This year students on our campus are having the pleasure of studying under guest professor Christian Ferrer from the Marne-La-Vallee in Paris, France. Professor Ferrer began teaching in 1968, and has instructed in many schools around the globe. For Ferrer's first visit to the U.S. he chose to take the opportunity to teach at CSUSM. Ferrer prefers to work wherever h e travels, rather than to visit as a tourist. He says, "I learn much more about America at CSUSM than I would at Disneyland." Ferrer is currently teaching two courses here. They are "Death in Contemporary French Literature" and "British Romance Poetry," and work with such authors as Camus, Ionesco, Coleridge, and Shelley. Professor Ferrer earned his first Masters of English at La Sorbonne Paris, and then continued his education in England at Manchester and Lancaster where he earned his Masters in English Linguistics. Only four years after beginning his career he entered "l'Agregation" in English Linguistics, a competitive: "exam" taken by 2,000 candidates, and ranked fifth amongst all. Unfortunately, Professor Ferrer must depart for France at the end Of the semester, but he hopes to soon return. "I am a very, very happy CSUSM t eacher... and I am hooked on California sunsets." One example of collaboration under the HCDS banner was the "Great American Smoke Out" display in Founder's Plaza on Thursday, November 18. Peer facilitators from CAPS and the Student Health Advisory Board members joined forces to promote a smoke-free day and lifestyle. HCDS has also finalized plans to promote "HIV/AIDS Awareness Day" on becember I, and has tentative plans for a pre-holiday "Alcohol Awareness Day," said Nicholson. The publication is dedicated to the late Sandra R. Kuchler, who is noted as "one of the pioneers of CSUSM's student services programs." Students who would like a copy of The Mind Body Connection should contact Student Affairs located on the 5th floor of Craven Hall. Leiana Naholowaa P RIDE EDITOR On Monday, November 15, President Sun Zhong Qing and Zhang Ting Guo, Director of International Relations, made a special visit to Cal State San Marcos on behalf of Yantai University in the People's Republic of China. The distinguished guests were welcomed by the President's Cabinet, given a tour of the campus with Russ Decker, spoke with Chinese students, and met with various department faculties. Yantai's enrollment of 6,700 full-time and 3,000 part-time students make it very similar to CSUSM, although their university is several years older. Zhang noted the many fields of study that are offered at Yantai which include science, engineering, literature, art, international business, and marine studies.

Located in the Shandong Province of China, Dr. Yuan states that Yantai University is at "at the edge of the sea" and describes it as "very pretty and right near the beach."

New Biotech Certificate Offered at CSUSM By Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER A new certificate program will be offered at CSUSM in February 2000 to provide practical, hands-on training in Biotechnology. Ten courses offered in the spring will focus on ensuring marketable skills in the biotech field. * Loan programs are available. Each course carries 1.5 continuing education units. Successful completion of six of the courses is required to qualify for the certificate. The five-week classes are open to anyone, and are priced at $325.00 each. In response to a growing need for workers ready for employment, the program will enhance the skills and knowledge of science students. Craig Halverson, Director of Regulatory Affairs with Gen-Probe, Inc. helped plan the idea and will be an instructor of the program. "There are not enough candidates applying for jqjbs that support laboratory research - jobs that are ancillary to the laboratories," Halverson said.

This site was chosen over several others because it is within easy walking distance to current campus buildings and will also be close to planned buildings. Although nothing has been finalized yet the Student Housing Advisory Committee feels it has a clear understanding of what the students would Retirement Luncheon Celebrated 10 Years of Service Cynthia Woodward P RIDE STAFF WRITER A fter much research and anticipation the students of CSUSM will finally be able to enjoy residential life on campus. The future housing units will be apartment-style dorms, with approximately two beds per room, for a total of 400 students and will be available in the Fall of 2002. V ol.

Other issues include having rooms that are equipped f or today's advanced living, a "port f or every pillow" Internet and telephone access in every room. At this point in time there is no formal housing on campus, but the University does offer a limited housing program. Just two miles from campus, the university has 23 units with approximately 80 students living in an apartment complex. According to Susan E. Mitchell, Dean of Students and Lifelong Learning Services, planning housing on campus is a long process and requires a sufficient amount of research, if it is to serve its purpose "aiding in student success." Meeting students' needs f or on-campus housing i s a long process. In order to obtain campus housing there must be enough student interest, a place to build housing and ability to be self-supporting. There must be enough students paying rent in order for the campus to maintain the property without having to take money f rom other departments. This does not mean that housing will be overly expensive, but that the campus must find a contractor who is capable and reasonably priced. The campus is currently awaiting bids to have housing built at little or ^ o upfront cost, under a Private Public Partnership. In return, the campus must guarantee that enough students will live in the housing to repay the contractors for their services. P RIDE STAFF WRITER Founding faculty member Bernard Hinton celebrated 10 years of service to the CSUSM community on Friday, November 19. A catered luncheon, white linens, and bougainvillea decked the Dome patio in honor of "Bernie," one of the first founding faculty members to retire from this university. Nearly 100 people attended the celebration. Hinton's long service to CSU San Marcos was honored with speeches and g ifts. Speakers were Regina Eisenbach, Beverlee Andersen, President Gonzalez, and others. Eisenbach said that "Bernie's the reason" she works at CSUSM; Andersen gently "roasted" Hinton with a poem she wrote; and President Gonzalez noted that when he arrived at the university "everyone here knew Bernie Hinton." Hinton was presented with an engraved clock and a memory album filled with personal reflections during the course of the two-hour long event. Hinton served in several capacities during the past 10 years. He began as Professor of Management in the College of Business, and holds that title as he retires; he was Special Assistant to President Bill Stacy; and he held the position of Director of Center for DecisionMaking. On a more personal note, Hinton is responsible f or the scarlet mounds of bougainvillea that adorn the hillsides around the university. An accomplished gardener, Hinton originally wanted roses planted, but chose the brilliant vine instead, due to costs. Bernie Hinton officially leaves his position on January 31, 2000. Bidding for Bree Tinney AIDS Awareness Week Nov. 30 through Dec. 4 Vicky Segall Gail Skennion P RIDE STAFF W RITER P RIDE STAFF WRITER It may very well resemble online f bidding found at eBay.com, however the Bree Tinney Memorial Scholarship Auction is unlike any other online auction. Rather than bidding on McDonald's toys or Beanie Babies, you may instead f ind yourself placing bids f or baby-sitters, food, art work, and a variety of other interesting items. The Bree Tinney Memorial Auction usually raises $1,000 a year f or the Bree Tinney Memorial Scholarship—an annual cash award given to an individual who is a Women's Studies major or minor. The scholarship i s in honor of Bree Tinney, a transfer student who was one of the first Women's Studies majors at CSUSM. In addition t6 being one of the pioneering students for Women's Studies, Tinney also worked f or the University's library. Pat Worden, who has played a principal role in handling the Memorial Auction in past years and in the present, knew Tinney when she j oined the quilting group at CSUSM. Worden said Tinney had transferred to CSUSM around 1992, but was diagnosed with breast cancer and passed away in the fall of 1993. Joan Gundersen, a past director of the Women's Studies Department, began the Memorial Auction around 1994. Gundersen believed Tinney was a f ine example of a Women's Studies student and named the Memorial Scholarship on her behalf. Pat Worden says that when the auction first began, the collection of auction items and bidding were all done by e-mail. Now, however, donations and bidding all take place on the web. "The thing we work hardest at is encouraging people to donate for the auction," says Worden. "There's always tremendous enthusiasm f or the items." She encourages the CSUSM community to send contributions for the auction so there will be more items to bid on. "Anyone can contribute," adds Worden. And anyone can bid, too. "What's f un is watching the bidding wars take place," says Worden. The bids will be accepted starting Monday, December 6 at noon until Thursday, December 16 at noon online at: http://www.csusm.edu/auction. Auction contributions are being accepted now. To contribute items or services contact Eugenia Villamarin at eugenia@mailhostl.csusm.edu or at Craven Hall 1222, extension 4826. Items may also be donated by visiting the? Bree Tinney Memorial Auction web page. The auction items will be on display in the library beginning November 29 through December 17. For additional information on the auction or to place bids on items (starting December 6) visit the Bree Tinney Memorial Auction web page at: http://www.csusm.edu/auction. World AIDS Day will be celebrated at CSUSM on Wednesday, December 1. The Peer Education and Support Program, a campus club affiliated with Counseling and Psychological Services, will be sponsoring the events of the day. Chandra Osborn, Peer Educator, is the Chair of the event. In hopes to promote attention f or AIDS Awareness Week, CSUSM lias lined up the following events: On Dec. 1 speakers who are HIV positive will be coming to the University Bldg, Room #101 at 1:00pm until 3:00pm to discuss their own experiences to help raise students' awareness Mid provide/educational materials, This event is open to all members of the CSUSM community (students, faculty, staff). Additionally, panels from the AIDS Quilt Project will be displayed on campus also on Wednesday, December 1. These panels (12 feet x 12 feet) are made from individual squares — each square made by someone who has been impacted by HIV/AIDS (e.g., some squares are made by surviving family members, partners, co-workers). "Make-A-Memory" fabric and materials will be available on Wednesday, December 1 (9:00am - 2:00pm) at the tables in Founder's Plaza for those in the CSUSM community who wish to make a square for someone impacted by HIV/AIDS whom they have known. According to Dr. Michelle Boutte Burke, faculty advisor for C SUSM's Peer Education Support Group, red ribbons are currently being given out in support of AIDS Awareness Week. They are available at Counseling and Psychological Services located at the Palomar/Pomerado Health Services Bldg. Suite 100, or at her office in Craven #4110. She stresses that this is a very important event for our campus. Dr. Boutte Burke says that oral testing f or AIDS and counseling services will resume at PPHS as early as next semester when they are able to have enough available staff to meet the c ampus' needs. She and Reina Abeyta, LVN at health services will be attending special training classes in December and January through the California AIDS Coalition that will enable In recent months the media them to provide pre- and postcoverage on AIDS has been less- counseling services f or AIDS ening, „ perhaps due t o the testing at this location.

See AIDS pg. 4 �DEAR EDITORS: REACTION TO ALICIA'S LETTER I am normally not too shaken up by the little organizational setups, rallies, booths, and so forth that plague our campus and my trek from class to class, but last week I was particularly disturbed. "National Smokeout Day".* ? Pfft,_give me a break! "Quit smoking for one day." Ha! Quitting for one day would just force you to make it up the next day, and besides, if you're a young smoker now is the best time to start! I do empathize for older smokers who are doomed to a life of smoking out of a hole in their neck, but the newest generation of smokers will not have to suffer the same fate. In ten to twenty years cybernetic lungs will flood our hospitals reaffirming our faith in nicotine, the wonder drug. Instead of smear ads, health organizations will be fighting for media airtime to PROMOTE smoking. They'll want to sell their cybernetic lungs, not only for the tidy profit, but because these "cyberlungs" will actually IMPROVE respiration. Metaphorically speaking, we'll be putting our butts out on Mother Nature's poorly crafted invention. And to those behind "National Smokeout Day" (PEAS), I will have to humbly decline. You had your heart in the right place, but perhaps your little rally would be better setup in a retirement home. Personally,I'd like to be first on the list to get my new cybernetic lung. They aren't going to give them out to just anyone, you know. Only the hardworking smokers who've made the tobacco industry what it is today will benefit from improved respiration. So go buy a pack, hell, buy a carton, it'll pay off before you know it. Anyway, I've got a cigarette to smoke.. It's a long smoky road to that "cyberlung," but well worth it. . I find it very disturbing as a student of this university that people feel the need to point fingers of blame especially when individuals don't know all of the facts. Students at this university are .usually very unaware of the occurrences within many of the departments of this campus community, so how can the students blame the administration? As the readers of the PRIDE we must assume that we are not given all of the information. We know that for the first article regarding the faucets, we were only given one side of the story. The retraction gave another side of the story. As adults we can make our own assumptions at that point but we will never know all of the facts. By bringing this issue up again we are just building on a dead issue. I think everyone should take this as a learning experience and walk away. Always remember there are two sides of a story but we will never know the truth because we aren't there to experience it; Respectfully, Upset Smoker DEAR EDITORS: Recently, I read that World AIDS Day will be celebrated on our small, San Marcos campus. Speakers will share their stories with students; free condoms and information will be passed out; panels of the AIDS quilt will be displayed. If World AIDS Day is being given such a prominent place on our campus, why was Veteran's Day not even mentioned. Some may argue that AIDS is an issue affecting today, a thing of now, that Veteran's Day does not affect us. However, Veteran's Day is a day that should be taken seriously. For it is more than just a federal holiday where mail delivery ceases and government employees take the day off. i t is a day to remember the hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers who fought and died valiantly for the freedom that we too often take for granted. As young citizens of this great country, we need to be reminded of what men and women have gone through to protect what rightfully belongs to every man, woman or child. Freedom comes at great cost. We need to be reminded how precious freedom is, and how great that cost. To people who think Veteran's Day is little more than an excuse to take off work, talk to men like the one I know who still experiences pain from the shrapnel left in his body from his days in Vietnam; talk to men like Senator John McCain who spent years in enemy prisoner camps; talk to men like my friend's grandfather who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, surviving to tell of the hoirific massacre laying before them in the blood stained sand. That blood is the heroic mark of those who died To dismiss thendeath is a tragedy. Because for every breath lost, every life killed in the ugly reality of war, the freedom of so many more was ensured. Every man and woman, dead or alive, who is a veteran of this country's armed services, deserves our utmost honor, dignity, and respect. It was wrong and inexcusable for the administration to overlook the importance of Veteran's Day. It is time to do more than what is politically correct and do what is right. Joshua Stacey DEAR EDITORS: I wish to make a comment regarding the article on the Great American Smokeout. I have great reservations regarding the statistic provided by the American Cancer Society ACS) on the death attributed to smoking whereby it stated that cigarettes kill more Americans than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, drugs and fires combined. Thirty percent of the US pollution smokes. Sooner or later, just like everyone else, this group of people will die. So I guess one might say that among those who died thirty percent smoked which gave credence to the ACS statistics. Don't get me wrong. I think the Great American Smokeout is for a good cause. I smoked for over twenty years and quit cold turkey. It was not easy. Surprisingly, there are no known effective programs for people who wish to quit smoking. Unlike the alcohol and drug r ehab' programs whereby the patient is admitted into a clinic for a week or so under clinical supervision, the stop-smoking programs available on the other hand consist o£a lecture, interaction among fellow smokers, and handed a bunch of anti-smoking pamphlets all in a day. Then they are left to fend for themselves - no counseling for members of the family. Just left to climb the walls. Its tougher to quit smoking than to quit drugs or alcohol. No drugs but I was an alcohol abuser. Where are the treatment centers? AYN RAND REVISITED BY CSUSM STUDENT GOVERNMENT Joel A. Montes Ayn Rand was a controversial person. Her harshest critics characterized her work as being a form of philosophical plagiarism, while other critics have claimed her views were not unique, but instead were a rehash of older philosophical works. These critics have gone so far as to state that she was nothing less than an insecure female in a male dominated world, thus her emphasis on "self-interest." Rand's critics would lead people to believe that her followers are a bunch of insecure crackpots with serious psychological and emotional problems. Nevertheless, Rand attracted an interesting 'lot' and there still exists a group of followers. Alan Greenspan was a former "groupie." .~ A fair assessment of Rand's work would be to say that her writings are an introduction to philosophy and critical thinking. What strikes me about her quasi-philosophical views is what I consider a most unique phrase to describe a human being. In her subtle reactionary mode, Rand says, "The individual is the smallest minority." A profound thought in a society that emphasizes groups, class, and generalizations! CSUSM's student body and the ICC have carried Rand's view in their administrative authority to disburse student finances by awarding individual students money to finance their classroom projects. Although it appears like a form of "nepotism" in that the latest two individuals just happen to be BOD members, it nonetheless provides great opportunities for extreme individualists like myself. Those of you who walk with only your shadow can, with an academic purpose in mind, receive funding for what may be unending reasons. For example, if you're short on cash during "rush week" you can ask the ICC for money to pay for your books. If you have to go on a field trip for a research paper,-say..: • L.A.'s MOCA, you can ask for money to pay for gas, food, admission, and books or articles relating to the specific exhibition, etc. Maybe you "need" to go to a business conference, but you can't afford it. ICC will pay for your transportation costs, hotel and incidentals for attending this academic event. What is great about this is that you don't have to waste your time in meetings. Ideological differences, are also an unnecessary worry amid the smiling and shaking of hands. Just go one week before to the ICC meeting to get on the agenda for the following week tRobert's Rules of Ordet stuff) and state your purpose. The next week, be sure you have a good presentation, supporting documents to demonstrate the academic relevance of your request, or receipts for a retroactive fund. "Individuals" should take full advantage of these resources while they are available, especially if you don't fit into a peg. With student government members giving themselves Christmas bonuses for organizing barbecues throughout the semester, there is no reason why you should be denied. As long as you keep an academic purpose in mind, and contribute to student government through tuition fees and a future degree benefiting all of society, you deserve the money. CSUSM Student Body Government, although a faceless institution, does provide "individuals" an opportunity to contribute to CSUSM diversity which makes them paradoxically rather unique. Further, I believe that alcohol is a much more damaging addiction than tobacco yet I don't hear of any sustained, concerted effort by any group, government or private, to campaign with equal vigor against the alcohol industry. On the contrary they make it so that drinking seems glamorous, advertising beer as refreshment. One can get "snockered" with beer as bad as liquor or wine. By the way, it is now advertised that drinking wine is healthy. Try driving down the freeways after consuming a bottle of Thunderbird. I don't condone smoking. I hate smoke specially as an ex-smoker. However, I have not heard of any case involving domestic violence, assaults, or vehicular accidents, DUIS (driving under the influence of smoking) as the direct result of smoking. But refresh yourself with a six pack of beer and the outcome could be different. And where are the millions of dollars collected from the tobacco industry for the purpose of curbing smoking for a healthier lifestyle ending up? Not only has the skyrocketing cost of cigarette started an old age profession (smuggling) but statistically, the levies and fines produced no significant result in reducing consumption. Thirty percent of the population still smokes. More young adults smoke now than ever before. The high cost of cigarettes ($30.00 per carton) did not discourage smoking. On the other hand, it caused more financial burden particularly for multiple smoker families. I suggest the following; In addition to education, the moneys generated from the lawsuits against the tobacco industry should be used to establish a comprehensive antismoking rehab program, paid by the health insurance, whereby an individual who wishes to quit smoking, is admitted into a clinic and given treatment and released with some expectancy of staying smoke free, plus provided with the opportunity for follow up. Further, I suggest that there should be an equally sustained campaign, including fines, lawsuits, bad publicity and all against the use of alcohol. Most alcoholics are smokers. Cure the alcoholism and you cure smoking.

Her debut album Let There Be Eve., covers topics that any girl growing up in the "hood" can relate to. She covers everything from being down for your man in "Gotta Man" to having your girls back in "Love is Blind" and "My B***."

Two of the guests were HIV/AIDS positive, while the third was a caregiver at two licensed facilities in North County. Many people die or are severely injured as a result of drug and alcohol related accidents each year. In an effort to promote Understanding, Student Health Services sponsored a Drug and Alcohol Awareness Seminar Thursday, December 2 in ACD 102 from 3:00pm - 5:00pm. Although adults between the ages of 25-45 represent the largest population of reported cases of AIDS in the U.S., young adults between 14 and 25 are at the greatest risk of contracting the disease, especially women. The Peer Education and Support Program, along with Health, Counseling and Disability Services, raised AIDS awareness on campus with the presentation. The event opened with a welcome from Reina Abeyta, a LVN from the Student Health Center, and co-coordinator of the day's event. ASI president Waleed Delawari then read an emotionstirring poem about a young girl who had refrained from drinking at a party, only to be killed by a drunk driver. The audience listened attentively to the four speakers who followed. After further tests, the results came back HIV positive. She is not absolutely sure whether or not she contracted the virus through the dirty needle. The second guest speaker was a middle-aged male Hispanic who was HTV positive. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and was raised in Chicago and Orange County, See AIDS Pg. 15 The Pride Schola Pacifica ........5 Cynthia Woodward Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER The display offered an immediate, visceral understanding of art's importance t o humanity, simply by removing it from view for one day. The handouts called Day Without Art a day of "conscious confrontation with loss," reminding viewers of the many lives cut short by AIDS. One poster read, "Some people have lost everyone they know." The magnitude of the loss of art shrinks in relation to the loss humanity suffers because of the dreaded disease. The handouts also asked viewers to Work toward a cure for AIDS. U CSD Ensemble.

Now the Christmas season begins. Yes, I said the word "CHRISTMAS." Not "holiday." Slowly over time we, as a society, have removed Christmas from our collective lexicon. The Christmas play or pageant has long since been banned. In some schools, candy canes have been banned as being religious in nature. People have "Holiday" parties with "Holiday" trees and "Holiday" candy. This time of year every sign says "Holiday Savings" or "Holiday Values." The "Season" has become one long shopping binge of the worst kind. The use of the word Holiday instead of Christmas for store use is justified by the claim that not all the population is Christian or about everything in general. In Muslim (Both Pakistan and Iran short they hate fun and life itself. have Christmas as a holiday). The Christmas of Santa Claus, What is more disturbing is the candy canes and Rudolph the political correctness crowd of red- nosed reindeer does not reppeople who are tyrannical in resent anything biblical or relitheir opposition in even display- gious.

The holidays are right around the corner and money is tight. Several years ago I read an article in a newspaper with ideas of things to get those people in your lives that are close to you. The answer was simple: love. Write a love letter. I did just that. I went out and bought some Christmas station- e ffirtbe ary and sat down and wrote 25 things I love and appreciate about my husband. I did the same thing for my three children. After all the presents were unwrapped that year, I pointed out to everyone they had one more gift to open. As my husband read it, I could tell I had found the perfect gift for him as his eyes welled up with tears while reading his letter.. For my children, it wasn't so evident, until one day as I was changing the sheets on my daughter's bed. Dear Editors: Colorful chalk drawings advertising AIDS Awareness Week greeted me today as I made that dreadful climb up the stairs of Mount CSUSM to campus. I was delighted to see that awareness was being made about this incurable* deadly disease and hoped that it would lead to improved prevention for students. But as I started to approach the peak of the Mountain I began to see oddly shaped ^balloons" tied to the rails, gleefully swaying in the morning breeze. Upon closing examination, condoms. Huh? The holidays are right around the corner. This year, do something a little different. Think of those around you who may be going through a difficult time right now Someone who may have lost a loved one, someone struggling with a medical condition, someone who is in the process of looking for or starting a new job. Someone who is struggling with an addiction or has gone back to school after many years. Someone who is going through a divorce or break up of a relationship, someone who is feeling lonely or depressed, someone who is having financial difficulty. Try practicing Random Acts of Kindness. Give someone words of encouragement either verbally or send a card. They will get the warm fuzzies just knowing someone is thinking of them! Pick up a bouquet of flowers from the grocery store to perk up someone's day. Unexpectedly buy a friend lunch. Help out your parents by washing their car, or better yet, fill up their gas tank without being asked. Give a hug just because. Call or visit someone you haven't been in touch with for awhile. Give mothers with small children a break. Open doors for them. Offer to baby-sit free of charge! Bring cookies to share to work. Tell a professor or teacher how much you appreciate them, (you could also tell your parents, spouse, and/or friend the same thing!) Look around at all you have been blessed with and spread the wealth. You will find that when you practice little Random Acts of Kindness, it makes you feel better but it also touches the hearts of those around you. OUT!" graces the cover. Something just seemed really wrong with all this, so I vainly tried to refresh my memory of 7th grade sex education. This produced little more than a disturbing image of the live pregnancy video I was shown, so I gave up to see if the Internet provided any answers. After a bit of searching a website (http://www.hivdent.org) gave me the infomation I was looking for. As it turns out condoms are 90% effective in preventing the transmission of HIV when used properly. For you John Q. Math Majors out there that would leave a 10% chance that you would contract the virus. 10%? That's about the same odds as winning one of those "under the cap" beverage games. Which I have won! The cap, however, still sits on my shelf awaiting trade in for a pair of stylish Sprite endorsed sunglasses. the sheets" game, AIDS is not something you can just put on your shelf because you don't find it particularly useful. It's not cheesy merchandise; it's an incurable, deadly disease! Instead of handing out guns for students to play sexual Russian roulette with, something more practical must be done. How about both partners being tested prior to relations? Or what about. 1 *ga$p*.. abstinence? While I don't fully endorse the latter, the former is quite plausible, and I know from experience. Our society seems to be forming in a way where we try to dodge the bullet instead of just not pulling the trigger. I hate to see condoms endorsed as an HIV prevention method and I hope the students of CSUSM will think ahead and realize that the trigger need not be pulled. I made my way to the Dome to grab a bite to eat and a copy of the school paper. On my way I noticed colored chalk animated with arrows pointing to the direction of "free condoms." Apparently if I were to follow these arrows I would get a "kit" Respectfully, that includes condoms, prevenAn Upset, Sexually Active Joe tion information, and candy. To top it off the slogan "TAKE Unfoftunately though for OUT BEFORE YOU MAKE those who lose in the sex "under As I tucked in the sheets, my hand touched paper. There, I found underneath her mattress were my Christmas love letters stacked neatly with other things she treasured in her life. The things you write about don't have to be earth shattering accomplishments, but things like, "I love the way you smile. I love the way you take the dog out for a walk without anyone asking you. I am happy you are a part of my life." Now, almost ten years have passed since I started my tradition and it is the first gift opened on Christmas Day. I still tell them how much they are loved and appreciated. Now, I also add in highlights of things they accomplished and even obstacles they had to overcome over the past year and point out how proud I am of them. Since I have started this, I have spread the word to my friends and other relatives. It is the gift that my best friend and sister request every year. Last Christmas, I added something extra with my letters. I purchased special boxes for my family to put their love letters in. In the last couple years, I have noticed I am now on the receiving end from my eldest son and best friend. It is a wonderful tradition to begin. It is unique, personal and guaranteed to be cherished. All it takes is a little time and love.

When the paper published these reviews, the editors and advisor were unaware of the plagiarism. Indeed, a student paper, like the campus and thewider academic world, can only operate on the. assumption that writers are honest and that their work is their own.

The encouragement from the mentors becomes an integral part-of the students' academic experience and a valuable resource.

The night got off to a late start, and was characterized at first by a definite lack of people in attendance. But despite the late start, the evening was definitely a night to remember. In a matter of a half-hour, the room filled with friends. At first people took turns reading poems from a book. Then after a little persuading, Rodrick Frazier sung a poem. He sang "Lift Every Voice and Sing" by James Weldon Johnson and later sang another song. His beautiful voice picked up the mood of the night. Then everything seemed to flow. Angela Oesterle wrote an amazing poem right there in the coffee house, and read it for the crowd. Elsa Mejia read Maya Angelou's famous poem, And Still I Rise. Mbalaka Monolobo recited a poem in Swahilli and translated the title: My Twin. Nico Cusimano, a student at Palomar, writes poetry and just happened to have some of his work with him that night. Hie audience quickly responded to the readings he presented. Most of the applause went to Malika U. Bomani and Rodrick Frazier. They did an impromptu "skit'' to Destiny Child's song, "Bug a boo." Another Poetry Night is in the works. Contact Mbalaka Monololo in the ASI office for information. A Campus Without GUTS Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER The CSUSM Literary Society does not have GUTS this semester. The Literary Society does not even have official recognition as a campus club by the Inter-Club Council or Associated Students, Inc., said Barbara Schiffler, one of the few remaining members of what was once the CSUSM Literary Society. GUTS is the Literary Society's Literary Magazine first published October 1996. The society was founded by Denise Lampman, with the goal of publishing GUTS. Lampman graduated last May and the campus has been GUTS^less since. "We started in May of '99 with about 15 people—then when we were just about ready to print, the people who were helping me faded away/' said Schiffler. "The only people left were me and two other people—and all of us are grad students." It is the lack of available bodies, Schiffler said, that caused the Literary Society to lose their charter. When asked why the Literary Society was no longer an officially recognized club, Assistant Director of Student and Residential Life Gezai Berhane said, "The Literary Society has not completed the rechartering session for this year." Berhane. said that the Society failed to satisfy Responsibility 10 outlined in the CSUSM Student and Residential Life Procedures for ReChartering Clubs and Organizations, which states "Your club is required to attend an Annual Student and Residential Life and Associated Students, Inc. training of officers/advisors." This semester' s mandatory October 29 meeting's "topics included security, facilities use, liability issues and financial management," The Pride reported in its November 8 issue. The same article also stated "Calvin One Deer, Director of Student and Residential Life, lamented the precipitous decline in the number of campus clubs in recent years and expressed hope that the falling-off of interest in campus organizations would reverse itself." Schiffler pleaded with students of Professor Brandon Cesmat's Creative Writing class tp get involved and re-charter the Literary Society in the Spring of 2000 so that the more than fogy submissions can be published with official university recognition. Also, without active undergraduates, the Literary Society is in danger of fading into CSUSM history, officially recognized or not. Schiffler stressed GUTS isintended as a publication "made completely by students" with no advertising, but stopped short of calling it an underground publication. One Deer said recently that he would like to see the Literary Society re-chartered, and more clubs formed, "There are a lot more ideas out there that can involve students in extra-curricular activities." All of the guidelines and regulations for rechartering a club for the current academic year, or starting a new club on campus, are available in convenient five- and eight-page packets (respectively) from the office of Student and Residential Life in Craven Hall 4116. One Deer urged clubs wishing to be recognized, which also makes them eligible for ICC funding, to pick up a packet and start planning for the spring semester now. He said there will be another ICC meeting in February 2000, like the one the Literary Society missed, to educate club representatives as part of the chartering process. "We want to promote leadership among students while creating campus life," said One Deer. Time of Your Life on the Tube Imani Rupert PRIDE STAFF WRITJER Has anyone managed to watch Party of Five- s spin-off, Time of Your Lifel When Sarah Reeves (Jennifer Love Hewitt) left San Francisco in search of her dad, the crew of Party of Five thought she would be returning in a week. However, Sarah decided to stay in New York to discover who she is, without anyone taking care of her. Once on her own, the eternally innocent Sarah does some very unlike-Sarah things. So begins the Time of Your Life. There are six central characters on the show. Sarah's roommate, Romy (Jennifer Garner- Felicity's competition for Noel first season) is an aspiring actress with the hots for J.B. (Diego Serrano), their neighbor who works as a salon shampooist Cecilia (Pauley Perette) is a student at NYU, and current superintendent at their building, not to mention a wild girl. Maguire is an ex-musician with a jaded view of how the music business works. He's pretty fond of Sarah, and she seems to be pretty fond of him too. Joss (Gina Ravera) is a close friend of Maguire, and works with Sarah as a waitress. Finally there is Sarah, who is trying to figure out who she is, and wants to have a little fun in the process. There is an obvious attraction between Sarah and the amazingly hot Maguire, and now since Baliey has broken up with her, Sarah seems eager to jump into the arms of this sweet-hearted musician. It took Dawson and Joey an entire season, Mulder and Scully have yet to do it, and it's anyone's guess when those two from Roswell will get together. Romy and J.B. have a semi-romance going on. Romy has been staring into J.B.'s window since she's been there, watching a stream of girls trickle in and out of his apartment. They are dating now, but apparently J.B. has a few girls in his past, one in particular that he is still sleeping with. Joss is a sweet girl that won't let anyone tell her what to do. Her stubbornness is bound to get her in trouble. She is more than willing to help Sarah out though, whether she needs a job, or time off from that job. Time of Your Life is a good show. It moves faster than other dramas, and Sarah makes mistakes that you can only make when you're twenty, and with her motley crew of friends, you're sure to like one of the characters. It's an above-average television drama, especially if you liked Sarah from Party of Five. Time of Your Life plays on Fox, Mondays at 8:00pm.

CSUSM Fire Marshal Steve Orsak said the most common scenarios used in emergency preparedness drills in Southern California involve earthquakes and wildfires. Not counting the time for the 911 call and the transfer, "we will be at the door of the college in one to three minutes" said Division Fire Chief John Twyman, Fire Marshal (ONE L) for the City of San Marcos for 11 years. There are three fire stations in San Marcos that can approach the campus from three different directions. The City of San Marcos is ready to respond with three engine companies, one truck company, and one duty chief —a total of 13 full-time trained professionals— on an initial fire call to the university. recently increased their responding force by three for a total of eight sworn-in personnel. All are certified under the Standard Emergency Management System (SEMS) as part of their required training mandated by the state of California, said Lt. Will Glen of CSUSM Public Safety. San Marcos' Twyman confirmed that every engine and chief's car has a "Fire Pre-PIan." This book details the location of hazardous materials, building floorplans, and room occupancies f or the entire campus. Because of all of the construction and clearing of vegetation, "the campus is under a very low threat from wildfires" said Orsak. Twyman agreed, adding that the Harmony Grove fire and last year's La Moree fire demonstrated the benefits of the fire breaks that surround the campus. Both fires caused the cancellation of classes, but Twyman assured "the campus was never at risk." Orsak added that the The University Police have University and the San Marcos Copies each ^ d e v ^ it^Wation and the tabulated insults are tile o f ; § | | f l f J ^ c h evaiuation, wheiheroF tfie rusKeS or painsta&ngly detailed variety, is then one unit of information seen and considered by the CSUSM President, Vice Presidents, Deans, and a peer review committee.

Brushing aside the possibility of wildfire, Twyman said, "it's probably scarier to me that people might not know what they're doing when they're mixing together chemicals in a lab. We could almost eliminate the fire department if we eliminate the three biggest causes of fires: Men, women, and children." When asked if there were plans to build a fire station on campus, which has its own zip code, some tifrie in the University's future, Orsak replied "from your lips to the [University] president's ears."

Complying with Wildfire Codes ; : C SUSM Chosen in the Templeton Guide ing to Orsak, and CSUSM has the advantage of being surrounded by "firebreaks" as well as being a relatively new campus with advanced technology. The campus of CSUSM is equipped with a twenty-four hour central alarm fire system that is monitored by the police. If the alarm is triggered, the police are dispatched to investigate, and the fire department is alerted if necessary. The San Marcos Fire Department participates in quarterly "familiarity" fire drills at the campus, allowing the fire department to become accustomed to the layout of the campus in the event of afireon campus. If a fire were to occur at the Hanson facility, the San Marcos Fire Department would be dispatched to assess the need for evacuation of surrounding areas, with consideration of the amounts and types of hazardous materials outlined in a State mandated "business plan." Hanson Aggregates, along with every establishment storing hazardous materials, is required by California State law to submit a "business plan" to the County of San Diego, Department of Environmental Health (DEH), which lists all hazardous materials housed at the facility and an emergency plan in response to accident or fire. A copy of this plan must be kept at the business site and another copy forwarded to the local fire agency. In addition, county officials make routine inspections, both announced and unannounced, to these facilities to affirm their compliance with state and county safety regulations. Stiff penalties and/or fines are imposed on those who fail to meet the requirements set by the California Health and. Safety Codes. Hanson Aggregates had their last inspection in January of 1998, and had their inventory information updated last August, with continued compliance according to the DEH. f jF Packard, San Diego Police, and Consider the Escondido Humane Society.

SAVE UP TO 40% ON TEXTBOOKS | [H con;: �Expanded Dial In Access Lines for CSUSM Students Adra Hallford PRIDE STAFF WRITER On Thursday, December 2, 1999, Computing and Telecommunications introduced EDIAL (Expanded Dial In Access Line) for CSUSM students who access the Internet from their home computers by dialing into the campus modem pool. Every student on campus will still have access to the free dialup access lines, but now students who need more than their allotted free dialup access time for email, web surfing, or academic research, will have the option of paying 30. dollars every six months for EDIAL and more time on the network. Students accessing the campus network using EDIAL will experience far fewer busy signals than students using the free access lines. The Computing Department has set the highest of goals for EDIAL; they want students to have affordable access to the campus network with no busy signals. Mike Irick, Computing and Telecommunications UNIX Systems Support, points out that the 30 dollars for six months of Internet Service and campus network access breaks down to five dollars a month, considerably less than what even cut-rate Internet Service Providers charge for an Internet connection. The free dialup access lines and EDIAL both provide students with resources other ISPs cannot: access to the electronic Schustack's Notable Books Display Evelyn Choroser PRIDE STAFF WRITER resources offered by the library. To have access to most of the Library's 30+ electronic databases, students must dial into the campus via either the free access lines or through EDIAL: EDIAL is part of the Computing and Telecommunications Department's effort to upgrade the technology and services available to students. Over the summer, Computing upgraded the modem racks and all dial up services to support V90, 56k compatible modems for the newer Macintosh computers, Windows 95 and Windows 98 computers, as well as Windows NT systems. Regardless of which type of dialup account students choose, Computing and Telecommunications offers a wider range of toll-free dialup access numbers from which to choose than last year. The call is free in most of San Diego County. Students can sign up for EDIAL, the Expanded Dial In Access Line, by visiting the Dialup Support website at www.csusm.edu/dialup/, visiting the HelpDesk office located on the second floor of Craven Hall, office #2302, or calling Dialup Support at 750-4716. Students can also request further information by emailing Dialup Administration at dialupadmin @ csusm.edu. College of Education Offers Tlitoring Opportunities By Katelynn Miller for The Pride The College of Education currently offers two opportunities for CSUSM students interested in becoming tutors for elementary and high school students. The first program, America Reads, is an opportunity for CSUSM students to interact with elementary school children in the local community. This is a federally funded program that the President initiated in response to poor reading scores in schools. His vision was to pay college students (who qualify for federal aid) to tutor young children in local schools who are struggling with reading. Improving children's reading ability is a top priority now as research has proven how vital reading ability is for successful learning. EDUC 406A (America Reads) is a class where CSUSM students explore the reading process, learn about wonderful children's books and discuss many literacy issues. Tutors decide their own hours for tutoring, and they meet weekly in class to work together to provide enriching experiences for children. Students who do not qualify for financial aid may volunteer their services as America Reads tutors. The second tutoring opportunity available is for working with high school students in the program for Advancement Via Individual Determination, or AVID. This is a college preparatory program for high school students who might not have sought college as their goal without the support of AVID. The AVID tutors work side by side with students to improve their understanding of subjects such as Biology, Spanish, English, Algebra, etc. Since a variety of students work in each class, it isn't necessary for each tutor to be an "expert" in all subject areas, and in fact the EDUC 407 class teaches tutors how to facilitate groups across the subject areas. Tutors are paid for tutoring from a State work-study grant that CSUSM Financial Aid awards students, if eligible.

Cognitive Psychology, "One interesting aspect of that according to Schustack, is one of experience was that the feelings the milestones in the field of of entitlement were a primary cognitive psychology, and one surprising element of her study in this area was learning how much of language comprehension is an active process, rather than a receptive one. "We don't just receive the sound waves of spoken language, but as listeners, we work to construct an interpretation. And the process works analogously in reading," she said. A second reading of Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid is a goal expressed by the professor because it is a very challenging book to read. It is thick with details, relationships, and connections and she senses that all of its implications weren't digested with the first reading. Schustack describes The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat as one that engagingly reveals many odd, even bizarre, behaviors resulting from neurological dysfunctions. With her psychological interest focused on the study of very complex patterns of normal cognition and learning, it is apparent why this book's contents would be of interest to the professor. But she suggests, because it reveals the enormous complexity and interrelatedness of the brain and behavior, anyone interested in people will find it rewarding. Professor Schustack is an Associate Professor of Psychology and has been on the faculty of CSUSM since 1991. She received her Ph.D. from Carnegie-Mellon University after graduating from Princeton University and completing a Master's Degree at Yale. Before joining the faculty here, she was at Harvard University holding a research faculty position at UCSD and later worked as a research scientist for the U.S. government. Doctor Schustack is a cognitive psychologist with research interests in skilled reading and the development of literacy, reasoning and problem solving, language learning and language use, and human-computer interaction. Her current research focuses on how computer based recreational activities in an after-school setting can improve children's academic skills. �Understanding the CSUSM Mission Statement Sharon Hambly PRIDE STAFF W RITER If you pay very close attention, you can see one wherever you go. It can be found in fast food restaurants, donut shops, government offices, and service stations. It tells you the "who, what and how" a business will provide services to the customer. For those of you who have not guessed what it is—it's a mission statement. Our university currently has a mission statement that was written in 1989 by the first CSUSM President, Bill Stacy, and 12 founding faculty members. Terry Allison, Assistant to President Gonzalez, has been assigned to lead the campus in an effort to develop a revised campus mission and vision statement to move the university into the new millennium. A team consisting of 25 members including faculty, staff administrators and two stu- dents chosen by ASI, began this long and difficult process in early 1999. Two consultants are leading the group, Mark Baldwin from CSUSM College of Education, and Bill Chiment, from the Poway Unified School District. Both men were chosen because of their background and experience in assisting other schools and agencies in crafting their values and mission, and vision statements. Terry Allison stated that President Gonzalez believed a Revised Version would enable the university administrators and faculty to establish strategic goals for the future. And what does all this mean to you, the student? .Why should the goals and the mission and vision statements concern you?

Is the ad legitimate? Who placed it? What's involved? These are a few of the questions readers ask. Four years ago, Susan Hernandez developed an organization called The Procreative Egg Donor Program where young women between 21 and 30 are sought to provide viable eggs for infertile couples. As program director, Hernandez operates out of Temecula and works with doctors in San Diego. When a woman responds to the ad, Hernandez screens her to determine if she meets the basic requirements and her interest is earnest. Passing this interview, Hernandez forwards an application with an information packet to the prospective donor and requests the application be completed and returned with two photos. Based on the information provided on the application, Hernandez begins her process of matching the prospective donor with a couple who has been referred to her by a physician specializing in infertility. The couple's preferences are relayed on a questionnaire completed earlier. Once the couple chooses a donor from the possible matches offered by Hernandez, contact is re-established with the egg provider to assure continued interest in the program and that her commitment is genuine. Extensive psychological and medical examinations occur to verify that the candidate is in excellent physical and mental health. Although she anticipated maybe one or two donor/couple matches a month when she began the business, Hernandez now coordinates about five. "I'm surprised that there are so many people with fertility problems. The experiences they've endured by the time I'm in contact with them are heart wrenching," Hernandez commented. Laura Hopkins According for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 6.1 million women suffer from infertility in the United States, and approximately 15% of women of childbearing age have received an infertility service. Most cases of infertility are treated conventionally by either medications or surgery, but for those women are still unable to conceive, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) becomes a possibility for assisting them in becoming pregnant. She believes she has great empathy not only for the infertile couples, but also for the egg donors because of her own involvement in the field of infertility. Hernandez delivered twin boys as a surrogate mother and has donated her own eggs to two Egg donation accounts for 6% of the procedures specified as infertile couples.

However, it is currently used to treat a variety of infertility problems. It involves the collection of eggs and sperm from the couple or, in the case of an infertile woman, from an egg donor. The eggs and sperm are placed together in a laboratory dish to fertilize outside the bfrdy, or in-vitro. The fertilized eggs are placed into the woman's uterus several days later, where implantation can hopefully occur, just as in a normal pregnancy. Egg Ethics- an Opinion Laura Hopkins PRIDE STAFF WRITER The ethics of egg donations are challenged as the bid for beauty reaches $150,000 at www.ronsangels.com, a website dedicated to the sale of human eggs. The beautiful blonde with the striking blue eyes (Model 10) has the highest bid of $150,000 at Ron Harris' egg auction, while the other five models hold their own with bids ranging from $30,000 to $90,000. The commerce of beauty is certainly not a new concept with billions of dollars each year being spent on the cosmetic industry, but Harris crosses an ambiguous line with his egg auction. He argues for the possibility of producing "superior children" and yet states, "It is not our intention to suggest that we make a super society of only beautiful people.

For the egg donor, the process usually begins with an extensive psychological and physical screening. Common testing includes personality assessment as well as blood tests that screen the donor for diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. The donor undergoes a complete physical exam, taking into account family history, to insure optimal wellness. Tests are also performed to rule out sexually transmitted diseases. After the eggs are extracted', they are fertilized in a laboratory and either implanted into the recipient or sometimes frozen, in case the implantation doesn't work. The fertilized eggs are implanted two days later into the recipient's uterus, and nine to fourteen days later blood tests are taken to determine pregnancy! Stress and anxiety usually accompany the waiting period since it is not uncommon for the potential mother-to-be to go through several cycles before becoming pregnant. Even then, the statistics, according to the CDC's 1996 Fertility Clinic Success Rates, show that only 27% of all ART procedures result in pregnancy. In addition, there are legal matters to consider. A surrogate aggreement is required for both! the donor and recipient involving a court action.

Segall PRIDE STAFF W RITER A musical performance by [THE] at noon on Monday may have resulted in a few audience members scratching their heads trying to make sense of what may be described as [THE]'s "experimental," "avant-garde" or "d'alba"—a mix of comedic and musical theatre. [THE], formed approximately in 1977, is composed of Dr. Edwin Harkins and Philip Larson, music professors at UCSD. Professors Edwin Harkins and Philip Larson worked together at the Center for Music Experiment in UCSD in the 70s and also worked in the Extended Vocal Techniques Ensemble. The professors continue to perform for musical ensembles, like the SONOR Program of UCSD, and have toured worldwide from Canada, to Europe, Japan and Scandinavia. In addition, [THE] has more than thirty works in their repertoire, including music with John Cage and Anthony Braxton. The November 29 performance in ACD 102 began with a brief lecture by the professors on musical devices and terms used in their music. Their shows, which usually last from one-anda-half to two hours, have included lasers and lights. As a result, [THE] uses various methods of communication during their performances. Some of the methods included syllable exchange, the "Esperanto language," and another form of communication where hats and shoes were involved to signal specific actions. "It's very odd," said Harkins, referring to their methods of communication. For example one of the forms of communication Harkins demonstrated was ventriloquism. He also disengaged his voice from his word formations. This action may be best described as saying a word, like "hello," without moving your lips, but five seconds later mouthing "hello." Harkins' ventriloquism and outgoing disposition resulted in a round of applause and chuckles from the audience. "You can have fun with that kind of out of synchness," commented Harkins. The duo described how their own codes and language derive from "the rhythm of mispronunciation. After the brief lecture, [THE] began their musical performance. The first part consisted of the duo putting together two tunes, "Beautiful Dreamer" and Gershwin's "I've Got Rhythm," to create a new piece of their own. Perhaps the highlight of the noon performance was when [THE] performed "Body Parts." The audience, individuals ranging from confused to engrossed, had smiling faces, and burst into laughter as the duo tapped different parts of their body, making hand gestures, and grunts, sighs, shouts, and other vocal noises to a set rhythm. It may be surprising to discover that this "music" had a melody, even though their only instruments were their bodies and voices. "The sound is something that happens naturally," said Harkins. The professors also told the audience that they know what their goals are and where they are going when they compose music, but they tell of how there is also freedom.in their composition. They discussed how there is a level of abstraction in their music and that they come from avant-garde music, but have also headed in other directions. [THE] mentioned that their performances bring up many questions from the audience and certain issues may arise that they may choose to side with or n ot Harkins and Larson also note that [THE] is on the borderline of comedy and tragedy. At the end of [THE]'s performance, one of the questions asked by the audience was what first time viewers should expect from a [THE] musical performance. Professor Harkins responded, "Something extremely unusual, yet good." .

Ballet Folklorfco Mixtlan has three main goals according to club president Yesenia Balcazar: the promotion of Mexican culture, community service, and the promotion of higher education. The traditional Mexican dances that Ballet Folklorfco Mixtlan performs help to preserve and celebrate Mexican culture and Jewel's Joy: A Holiday Collection PRIDE STAFF WRITER The soothing sounds of Jewel's voice make the holidays complete. I was pleasantly surprised by her renditions of "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria" where Jewel sings operatically. In contrast, in her playful sounding "Joy to the World" and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" her childish voice takes away from the beauty of the music, I love listening to "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "I Wonder as I Wander" because it is reminiscent of a 1940's radio commercial where two women sang in harmony. Joy: A Holiday Collection also includes a medley of the hymn "Go Tell it on The Mountain," Jewel's "Life Uncommon," and Bette Midler's "From a Distance." The medley sounds unconnected, and it's obvious that three different songs created the piece. ^ A Joy: A Holiday Collection doubles as a CD-ROM, allowing users access to a special Jewel video upon buying the CD. As a fan of Jewel, I enjoy Joy: A Holiday Collection for background music, something that will not distract me from my homework or studying.

The coconut husk is used in the making of rope. A miniature replica of an island home was displayed near cups that were used to serve kava, an herbal drink made from the kava root. Kava has natural qualities that relax the body'while clearing the mind, unlike alcohol. It is featured in certain ceremonies and social occasions within island cultures like Samoa and Fiji. A musician from Samoa and another from Hawaii sang island music with acoustic instruments as a guest speaker educated the crowd about a particular island's tradition and way of living. When the time came to talk about the kate 'a, or triton shell, the performers were happy to attempt the famous blowing of the shell-horn that was once used to announce important village meetings. A Polynesian Cultural Fair took place in front of the Dome on Wednesday, December 1, around noon. The event was sponsored by the Latter-day Saints Student Association (LDSSA) and co-sponsored with Associated Students and Global Affairs. Emcee Charlie Bird, a member of LDSSA, said that he had the idea for the cultural fair for over a-yeas .and decided to finally put on the event since he will soon transfer to Brigham Young University next year. through island music, artifact, and dance. Display tables were set up so students could get a first-hand look at how a lei (flower necklace) is made, various musical instruments, glimmering clothing made of sea shells and fabric, embroidered tapas from Fiji, Samoa, and Tonga and a more modern stitched Hawaiian quilt that took hours to create. The coconut tree is the main plant in the Pacific since its components helped sustain ancient island cultures.

Four drummers provided the musical accompaniment to dances first melodic and slow, and to ones that gradually increased in tempo. Three female dancers in bikini wear of mini-sarongs and coconut shells, as well as the trademark grass skirt, performed intricate movements that incorporated the swaying of hips and the expression of the hands. Their costume included floral and green vine-like garden adornments on their bodies as drummers and acoustic musicians alternated the music for the dancers performances. The kahiko is an ancient Hawaiian hula dance that was performed by a woman singing and simultaneously playing the drum while her daughter performed a solo dance on stage. The song dance told the story Pele, the goddess of the volcano, who ran down the mountain in a rampage, consuming everything in her way.

He said that he abused drugs and had a lot of unprotected sex during that period. He commented that in the past if you contracted something you could go get a shot, but that there isn't a shot for HTV. He was married at the age of 18 and now has two children. The marriage only lasted for four years because he was an abusive husband. He claimed that all he wanted to do was "get high and have sex." He frequently got into trouble and was in and out of jail. This behavior lasted for years until he finally turned his life around in the 80's. He was doing fine until he hurt his back and GEW-Opinion By Penny Lanese There is one fatal flaw with the General Education Requirement for Writing (GEW) program that will ultimately cause the demise of the California State University San Marcos code for the writing requirement and the very foundation that the mission statement stands upon. Even though the Writing Center requirements may help students succeed in their written communication skills, the requirements can also cause an otherwise exceptional student to fail. The majority of the students entering the University from high school do not have the skill to write academic papers at a college level curriculum. The Writing Center is an excellent place for those students to go and share their ideas with trained tutors who enjoy literature and want to help. For the most part, there is nothing wrong with the relationship between the student, the course and the Writing Center. could no longer work. He turned to alcohol and became depressed. He turned his life around again and was going to AA meetings. He was sober from 1990 to 1995. The third guest was a young woman named Molly. She works as a caregiver at Fraternity House in Escondido, and at Michaelle House in Vista. She has worked at both facilities since last July. Molly has a deep'understanding for people afflicted with AIDS since she lost a beloved brother to the dreadful illness. She said that both facilities provide care to a variety of ages and race groups. In 1990 he began dating a young female from his AA support group. Just when he thought that things were going great, his girlfriend revealed to him that she was HIV positive. It was a secret she had carried for three years. They broke up 18 months She said that the people in the later. He tested HIV positive in facilities become extremely 1991.

HIV/AIDS support groups and travels, lecturing youth about AIDS awareness. However, there are students who fail the GEW requirement, not based upon their level of academic writing skills, but rather because of the lack of attendance to the Writing Center. Those students who succeed in academic writing are punished for their talents. On the other hand, the University has a reputation and academic integrity to uphold. The weekly GEW class length is only two and one-half hours long and the one Writing Center appointment completes the weekly total of three hours for "class time." Completely removing the Writing Center from the requirement is a possible "solution." However, those who truly need the Writing Center to improve their writing will not willingly spend their free time reviewing their papers unless it were mandatory. Another "solution" is to make visits to the Writing Center a part of a lab section, instead of an open-ended appointment system. Taking DRUGS Cont. From Pg. 1 and alcohol-related injuries in the hospital trauma room. "It's not what you see on TV," Blatner stated, "Needless injury and death result from people making poor decisions." Peter Pham, a campus police officer, discussed the legal aspects of driving under the influence. Two members of the audience tested their ability at a field sobriety test using glasses that simulated visual impairments to a person under the influence of alcohol. effects of alcohol on the body. He stated that there are 23 separate body functions needed to drive a car. After one drink, a person has only seventeen of those functions working properly. Emnis Jackson, a paramedic, provided a "sobering" slide presentation of drug- and alcohol-related accidents. The audience was treated to refreshments and give-aways that included No Fear T-Shirts, gift certificates to the Gap, Target and Glamour Shots.

PACIFICA Cont. From Pg. 1 remaining group members have : carried on the tradition by performing all along the Pacific coast. They have recorded two CD's and plan to record a third release next summer. So I offer this solution to the GEW Staff and Faculty: Allow the student to appeal the failed grade in a personal meeting with the current director and the professor. This appeal will consist of a thoroughly written minimum ten-page report of why the student did not attend the Writing Center and an. argument for why they believe they should be able to pass this class. Based upon the report done by the student and the arguments the student makes for their defense, the director and the professor decide the official grade of the student. The standards of the University are still in tact, for a complete report and argument will take more than the seven hours lost in the semester in Writing Center visits. The student chooses to take the responsibility into their own hands, and Writing Center is still required for the GEW class. The music, mostly in Latin, is sung in the tradition of the early Roman Catholic Church. Gregorian chant originated during the era of Pope Gregory I in the sixth century, and much of the original music continues to this day. The program performed at CSUSM consisted of two parts, the first derived from the traditional Latin mass and composed of "ordinaries," or hymns written in the style of the Renaissance, which are sung at every mass. The second part of the program was in celebration of the season of Advent, the four weeks preceding Christmas. Chodos said that although the music stems from a Christian tradition, "it speaks to everyone." He pointed out that the group members come from three religious backgrounds: Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism. "The music stands on its own outside of the church setting," Chodos said. « The lyrics have a profound and solemn nature that transcends the noise and clutter of our everyday lives. Latin verse tends to have that mysterious effect on those who don't know the language, but even translated into English, the lyrics seem to be calling from a distant plane. "Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the utmost parts of the earth as your possession," reads the translation of one of the chants. ^ Chodos spoke of the "body of mysticism" found in the Christian church, with which many people are unfamiliar, and the reflection of this music on that tradition. The Gregorian chant, Chodos said, "speaks to everyone on a deep spiritual level." And it seemed to be true. From the moment the members of Schola Pacifica filed onto the stage, until they took their final bow, the audience was given a glimpse of that mystic tradition, and the result was amazing. On Campus With State Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE STAFF WRITER Fifteen students gathered in The Dome on Wednesday, December 1, to hear State Assemblyman Howard Kaloogian air his views on a variety of subjects. Kaloogian, who is also the Honorary Chairman of the CSUSM chapter of the Young Americans for Freedom, or YAF, addressed the students at the invitation of the College Republicans. He was joined by State Assemblyman Tony Strickland from Ventura. Kaloogian stated that "involvement in government is down to an all time low" among college students. He cited the number of people attending his address on campus as an indicator that college students are not interested in politics. "There should be a great deal of political activism on campus," Kaloogian progressives," he told his audience. "We are the ones who are going to advance the progress of freedom.

"For that amount of money, you'd like to have the kid be able to read his diploma when he graduates," Kaloogian said. Although Kaloogian advocates literacy, both he and Strickland believe that funding for libraries shouldn't come from Sacramento. Funding should come from local governments, Strickland said. Apparently library funding will become a dead issue because, Kaloogian claims, "Libraries will soon become obsolete because of the Internet." Kaloogian, who will be forced out of his Assembly seat next November because of term limits, represents the 74th district, which stretchesfromCarlsbad to Del Mar on the coast and east to Escondido. He has endorsed fellow conservative Mason Weaver as his successor, out of a large pool of Republican hopefuls. The 74th district is considered to be one of the safest Republican assembly seats in the state. "If you win the Republican primary, you can go to Sacramento and look for a house," Weaver was quoted as saying in the San Diego Union Tribune. One of Kaloogian's goals for the remainder of his term is to "convert Social Security into a program that will be around for you and me," he said, without giving specific details. Asked about his plans after leaving office, Kaloogian replied that he "hopes to be working in the Bush administration." �CSU SAN MARCOS CALENDAR OF EVENTS IMPORTANT NOTICE Traffic Detour Twin Oaks Valley Rd & Hwy 78 Wednesday, December 8 Library Book Sale The monthly Library Book sale has a great selection of used books on a variety of subjects.

A faculty member asked if the university would continue to focus on traditional arts and sciences or would instead respond to requests for more professional and vocational programs.

He also stated that programs such as engineering and physical therapy are expensive to start up. Gonzalez said that the university could better f ocus its resources on building and expanding existing programs, such as Business and Education.

Last semester, I woke up and realized that I had alternatives. The alternative I chose was VarsityBooks.com. VarsityBooks.com not only saved me money, but it allowed me to avoid the hassles of the bookstore during the peak back-to-school rush. Because I appreciated my textbook purchasing experience so much with VarsityBooks.com, I decided to become an on-campus marketing representative for the company to spread the word to other Cal State students. In my marketing efforts, school authorities told me that I could only market VarsityBooks.com in limited areas (very limited). If these rules applied to all companies outreaching to students on campus I would understand, but when I found out that it was only other bookstores that had these limited marketing rules, I was extremely disturbed. Why does our school not want their students to be informed of their options to buy from alternative more affordable textbook sources? Textbooks are a necessity and it is important that we have alternatives to the bookstore. Now that other options exist, it is important that students know. VarsityBooks.com has empowered students with choice and brings competition to the bookstore market. This can only end in lower prices and better services for all Cal State students. As this Letter-to-the.-Editor is the only way I can express my feelings, I invite all Cal State students to join me in visiting www.varsitybooks.com when you purchase your books this semester. Thank you, Wes Gordon Voices By Joni Miller- P RIDE S TAFF W RITER While perusing the weekly Reader, I found my answer to "What to do on a rainy weekend?" A small little notice read: " 'Voices of Freedom,' an afternoon of 'lightening and thunder cultural poetry' is promised on Sunday, January 16, at 3:00p.m. at the Cesar Chavez Resource Center." An interesting way to spend the afternoon I surmised. As I read further, I noticed that Cal State San Marcos' own Professor Sharon Elise was among the participants that were going to be present. Having heard her passionate prose many times, I knew it would be an event worthy of partaking. I immediately grabbed my jacket and my partner Carol, and off we went to an edifying poetry repast. As we approached the center on San Diego Street in Oceanside, we were welcomed by the sound of Native American drumming from within. Six men sat in a circle around a large drum, each beating in uni son, as their voices chanted in spiritual song. At first perhaps only twenty-five people were present, though a steady stream of latecomers eventually filled the small informal gathering. As usual, Dr. Elise brought the house down with her most dramatic reading of all, "Lock Up". This poem is included in her published collection entitled "Black, In a Tight, White, Space." Other notables of San Diego's poet society who were present were Sam Hemod, Adolpho Guzman Lopez, Jihmye Collins, and Jim Matakey. But the afternoon was not just to sit back and enjoy; the gathering was a political event to raise awareness about the current three-strike law in California. The basic message was to get people involved in supporting legislation limiting the 3-strikes law. to Violent Offenses. For those of you who may want information on the three-strike law, you can find it4 on the web at http.V/www.factslxom. or by contacting the North County Chapter of Families to Amend California's Three-Strikes at (760) 726-1095 No matter what your political persuasion may be, it is always a wise decision to be informed. So often we fail to pay attention to laws enacted upon us, until they affect someone we know. Be involved, be active in your community, and choose the laws you want to live by. What's Up In Politics?

Andrea Cavanaugh - P RIDE S TAFF W RITER Like you, I received an email over the winter break advising me of a new computing policy which I must acknowledge by February 11th or lose my network privileges. My irritation at yet another seemingly arbitrary deadline deepened into unease when I read the text of the policy. It seemed I would be giving away more than my signature by acknowledging the policy. For those who haven't read it, the policy (among other things) prohibits t heuse of the university computer system for the transmission of "unsolicited information" (such as e-mail or posting to a news group) which is deemed by any recipient to be "offensive/' "inappropriate," or "obscene." Furthermore, by using the system, I "expressly submit to tracking and/or monitoring" of my communication by the university. Violation of the policy will result in the loss of computing privileges, an action that may prevent me from completing courses needed for graduation. Unfortunately, the agreement was all too familiar to me. I had to sign something very similar when I worked for a big corporation. I wasn't happy about signing it then, but I understood. A Corporation's concerns are not free expression or academic license. A Corporation is concerned with making money and protecting itself from liability. But the university is not a corporation. Or is it? Many people see policies such as this one as just another indicator of the ongoing Corporatization of public education, the demand that education be more self-supporting, that it be more convenient and easier to digest, the push to provide quantity at the expense of quality. Add to these the tipping of the scales away from freedom of expression and toward protection from liability, and the university system comes one step closer to becoming just another company that provides a service. Getting a college degree becomes not an experience that transforms your life, but just another product you pay for, like a new car or a wide screen TV. I had other questions about the policy. How would I know if a recipient would find something offensive before I sent it? How would the university define obscenity? I communicated my concerns to the university, and SUBMIT YOUR LETTERS TO THE EDITORS TO THE PRIDE was told that they wouldn't need to define obscenity beeause the courts already have. But, although courts have ruled on specific cases, they have not, to my knowledge, ever defined obscenity beyond Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's assertion in the 1970's that he "knows it when he sees it." Will that also be the yardstick used by the university? Of course, the policy explicitly states that the computer network is to be used only for assigned course work, research, or campus activities. The administration will tell you that anyone who feels compelled to spout offensive, inappropriate, obscene, unsolicited information i s f ree to obtain inexpensive Internet access from one of the nine zillion providers out there. In other words, they aren't trying to squelch your free spirit, they are merely preventing you from exercising it on state property. But what about approved uses? What if a professor of an on-line class assigns a novel with sex scenes, or an art text with nude subjects? Does it violate the policy? Probably not. What if the professor is unpopular with the administration or is active in the union? Does it violate the policy now? Who knows? What about a student who submits copy to this newspaper via the school computer network? Isn't the content of a student newspaper sometimes offensive, and rightly so? I have found that I am not the only person who objects to this policy. Almost everyone I have spoken with who understands its implications have signed it under duress, because they fear the consequences of ignoring it. I am concerned about these issues, not because I want to use the campus computer network to "spam" you with porn or incite a revolution, but because I think the spirit of a university exists not in bottom lines or in liability issues but in the free exchange of ideas, in an environment where people feel at liberty to speak their minds, without repercussions. The university says the policy is meant to preserve academic freedom, not to restrict it. But we may find that this version of academic freedom, in which we are judged not by our characters but by the content of our e-mail, does not feel so free.

We can create and offer ideas that will help the establishment of our University. With this in mind, I propose that we as students of CSU San Marcos be positive in every ^ ay as we attend our University. Let's make our college years the best! Sure, we may find a little problem along the way, but rather than dwell on it and criticize the negative, let's find a way to make it positive. One way to achieve such a goal is to join ASI. I find that there are many clubs and committees where I can give ideas and get involved with campus issues and developments. Join me in trying to keep our college years memorable. Let's help our University grow! Be positive and stay motivated!

What they really want to know is f they're likely to end up there as veil. I can't answer the real ques:ion. All I can tell you is ... it's sasy." — Susanna Kaysen Based on the best-selling nemoir by writer Susanna SCaysen, Girl, Interrupted is a [>owerful film that questions the xmndaries between sanity/madless, friendship/betrayal, and reedom/imprisonment. The film stars two-time \ cademy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Winona Ryder, two-time Golden Globe winner Angelina Jolie, and Academy Award winners Whoopi Goldberg and Vanessa Redgrave. Set in 1967, the film chronicles the experiences of 18-year-old Susanna Kaysen. Kaysen, played by Winona Ryder, is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is "manifested by uncertainty about self-image, long-term goals, types of friends or lovers to have, and which values to adopt." Despite the fact that such a diagnosis could be made about many people, her parents send Kaysen to Claymoore, a mental hospital. The remainder of the film is dedicated to Kay sen's experience Administrative at Glaymoore, the friendships she makes, and the choices she must make to become healthy. The film is filled with exemplary performances, heartfelt drama, and dry humor. The character of Lisa, played by Angelina Jolie, is a spectacular heroic villain, whose forthrightness is captivating, to say the least. Though it lacks the elegant cinematography of European and independent films, all in all, Girl, Interrupted is not to be missed. Running Time: 125 minutes MPAA rating: ' R' for strong language and content relating to drugs, sexuality and suicide. Services and A Ma Zone, die fourth release of the internationally renowned PRIDE EDITOR a cappella group Zap Mama, is a rhythmic and compelling compilation which combines the groups more traditional vocals with the sounds of western hip-hop and R & B. Diverging from the group's primarily vocal basis, lead singer Marie Daulne has taken the group's sound to a new place in her own exploration of the musical influences of her youth. "Our mother would make us learn the polyphonic singing, but at the time we thought it was boring because it was traditional," stated Daulne. Unlike the group's first three albums, which relied mostly on traditional polyphonic vocals, in A Ma Zone, Daulne returned to the R & B and Hip-Hop which had proved so much more compelling to the teenage girl who found polyphonic vocals "boring" and "traditional." The result is a spectacular combination of traditional, Swahili and Wolof and Pygmy vocals alongside French and English, all set to hip-hop and R & B beats with Funk grooves. In addition to a compelling sound, the album, like Daulne's other, is laden with political and social commentary.

We hope the following responses shed some light on our continuing effort to serve your information needs." - Bonnie Biggs, Assistant to the D ean, & Coordinator f or Public S ervices, Library & Information Services The new lights in the cubicles and general library are lOx's better. Thank you! Now I like to study in here, it doesn't seem so dark. Yes! We are so pleased with the improved l ighting. The new building (open in 2003) will have a lot of natural light! Later hours. More hours. Longer hours on Saturday and Sunday. The answer to your requests is budget. The library has not been able t o a dd P ublic Services s taff since 1994, though our student body has grown significantly since then. We simply do not have the bodies to cover all the hours students would like us to be open. I j ust wanted to say that the circulation desk staff is very helpful, especially T iffany and Allison. Please tell them they are doing a great j ob at the library. I am a freshman here and they have helped me find my way around and find the information I needed. I think the staff at the front desk is doing an awesome j ob. All are extremely friendly, polite, f un, and helpful. No need to change a thing. I just wanted to compliment the wonderful front desk staff at the library. There are two girls there who are always helpful and nice. I really appreciate everything they do. Thanks f or the positive feedback. S taff i n the P ublic Services area is committed to providing student-centered service every single day. It would be nice if you folks could place one of the large reference dictionaries on the second floor like the ones found on the first floor. This is an excellent idea. We have ordered a Random House Webster's College Dictionary for the Fourth Floor. By the late afternoon, the M en's restroom is usually trashed and there are no towels. It would be nice if the maintenance dept. could give the restroom(s) a quick clean-up in the early afternoon so that the evening students who use the library (like myself) are not thoroughly disgusted by the conditions of the restroom. Also, I like the new lights and rearrangements. The more private study carrels the better. The larger "group study" tables only attract noise and conversation and I would suggest eliminating them completely. We forwarded your complaint about the men's restroom . to our Facilities Services office. We hope y ou've noticed an improvement. We get numerous requests for group study s paces, as professors are requiring more collaborative projects - so, we won't be eliminating the group study areas but in the new library, we plan to have plenty of private and group study spaces. Parking needs to have some kind of sign with the library schedule posted. It's not fair f or non-students who have an awful time with parking not to have easy access before paying f or parking.* This is a very good suggestion. We contacted Parking Services and they are happy to help us out. We will be delivering a handout with library hours to the new parking kiosk later today. There is far too much talking going on in the supposedly "Quiet" study areas of the library. Any student should have the right to come to the library to study in complete silence without being disturbed by less serious students who think it might be "neat" to chat here. I feel that a librarian should check once in a while to attempt to eliminate this problem. Some LARGE SIGNS saying "NO TALKING" may be a step in the right direction. I would b e happy to print and post these signs myself. We regret that the library is not always as quiet as you would like. It is simply too small to ensure noise-free areas. We do have signs posted on the 4**1 Floor that , read "Quiet Study Area". We have found that students reminding fellow students about disruptive behavior works well. Out of 4 copiers in the library, only one worked! The print was so bad I could hardly see it! The machines have been printing this way f or a least one week, probably more. This is totally ridiculous! materials you cannot find. Yes! We too were very frustrated with the performance and quality of our copiers. Right before fall semester, we replaced 3 of the 4 copiers with higher quality machines. Please open an extra week before finals. In fall of 1997 the library responded to an ASI request to extend open hours during finals. We rearranged staff and student assistant hours in the library and Media. For the fall 1999 semester, the library will have extended hours between December 8 - 1 4 . We will be open until 10:00 p.m. Dec. 8, 9 13 & 14 and open at 11:00 a.m. on Dec. 11 & 12. I was frustrated when searching for children's books. Nearly all of the books that were listed are in Spanish. I understand that i t's important to have books available in Spanish, but it would also be nice to have children's books in English available as well. We have a sizable collections of children's books in English. The titles you located in Spanish are part of the special collection - "The Center for the Study of Books in Spanish for Children & Adolescents". Try limiting your search o n the PAC with "juv" and you'll be able to peruse our juvenile collection. It would be great if Annex materials could be requested online. The library should devise a system so that books can be renewed via the computer, check due dates and fines. All good suggestions. Our library systems group is working on a new system upgrade. We are hoping it will provide patrons with the ability to renew materials and place holds on Annex materials online by the spring 2000 semester. You can check your circulation records and any fines by going into the library's PAC, select Electronic Resources, CSUSM Catalog, and then select View Your Own Record. Simply type in your name and barcode number. Note: you must have something checked out or have fines, or nothing will show up.

Please make an appointment with a reference librarian who will be happy to help you locate for presentation practice. Thanks! The Media Library staff are known f or their customerfocused service!

As a result they were forced to stop practicing and have not done so for the past two months. Coach Groom stated, "Most colleges have cheerleading liability covered under the athletic department's liability, however this cheer squad is not covered under the CSUSM coverage." When asked why they could not obtain insurance on their own the Coach replied, "Three of the coaches had offered to pay, but if they did the program would inherit the cost of any liability." PRIDE STAFF WRITER Trestand Conrique, a prominent businessman in North County, has recently donated $50,000 for the construction of the new Library Information Center at CSUSM. Conrique's donation not only pushed the university over the top of its $2.5 million goal, the donation was also doubled. Jean and W. Keith Kellogg II, in a challenge grant, had pledged to match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a $500,000 total. Conrique, President of Rancho Santa Fe Technologies, is also a member of the Trust Foundation Board, a 16-member fundraising committee made up of "movers and shakers" in the community, according to Linda Fogerson, Director of Development at CSUSM. The Board is part of the driving force for private funding of the University Capital Campaign and their efforts to raise money for new facilities at CSUSM. This is not the first donation Conrique has made to the university. Last year he donated $50,000 to the athletic program at CSUSM. "Without him, the program may not have gotten out of the starting block," Fogerson said. Conrique has also pledged to donate an additional $50,000 to the construction of the M.

Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand Exhibit Comes to CSUSM Sonia Gutierrez PRIDE STAFF WRITER ~~ ~ ~ On February 2, 2000, the Arts & Lecture Series commenced the Spring semester with Roberto Salas's art exhibition, "Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand." Salas's work contrasts bright and dark colors in a struggle against and toward each hand in the series. Salas's title carries the Spanish expression "mano a mano" that does not translate perfectly into English. In Spanish, the phrase connotes "a face to face confrontation" or "a competitive struggle."^ Acrylic hand paintings in black woodenframesmake up the Salas exhibition. The hands in Salas's pieces communicate through gestures, each with an individualized tattoo. The paintings depict a range of hand gestures being purposely positioned to take on different meanings,fromthe left and right hands clenching at the fist, to open hands reaching out, and to a hand grasping a red ball with the word "rebote," which translates to "rebound" in English. «. Artist Roberto Salas sculpts a hand for his Mano a Mano show. tioned in a unique gesture with its own tattoo. Vina Matsen, a Liberal Arts major, commented on one of her favorite pieces. Vina said, "I like this hand because it seems like an older hand. The hand has more life, and it rests in supplication." The hand intrigued me as well. At first glance, the hands may seem like a repetiRed blotches resembling tive icon. However, after care- bloodstains envelop the back of the fully examining the paintings, hand. When I asked Salas the meanthe viewer sees each hand posi- ing of such marks, he said, "It's sur- prising you noticed. The hand makes reference to the Native Americans who died with Small Pox." Salas's work goes deeper than the superficiality of a painted hand. Understanding each piece demands critical observation and an appreciation for his aesthetic. Photo Courtesy ofBonnie Biggs embrace tattoos, which ties back to his childhood memories. Salas explains the catalyst to his piece, "Mano a Mano: The Painted Hand." During his stay in Louisiana, he noticed diverse, unique tattoos. He pays tribute to his uncles "the pachucones" who were the first men he recalls with tattoos, or placas, tatAlthough tattoos can mar tooed onto the hand. the body and stigmatize an individual, Salas's work subverts the negative connotation.

The coach, when asked about why a resolution to the problem was taking so long simply replied, "red-tape." FOR THE FIRST TIME EPvcyRL Salas's sensitivity and desire as a private and public artist developed while growing up in a non-affluent neighborhood. Salas writes, "It has been my goal to improve the quality of life by making art which is accessible conceptually and physically to communities of people who are unfamiliar with sanctity of museums and galleries." Salas's humanistic ideals and his concern for the well being of humanity are qualities which earned his piece, "Dream," a place in the Martin Luther King Jr. Promenade in downtown San Diego. $20,000 CASHBONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

Willi over five months spent training, track athletes have optimistic attitudes and have set high goals for themselves. Approximately twenty-five students anticipate a season that will lead them to national competition. Returning cross-country champion, Marcus Chandler, plans to compete at the national level in the 1500-meter race. Amy Taylor, an accomplished hurdler, plans to run the 400-meter hurdles at the national level. Heather Garritson also plans on competing at the national level, running distance races ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters. Jason McLevy, Jacquline Campos, Denaye Lakotich, and Robert Villegas are also determined to qualify for national competition. The team will face strong competition in the Mt. SAC Relays. Mt. SAC is nationally recognized as a "fast track", often giving athletes an opportunity to improve their marks in magnitudes that would be more difficult to accomplish on "slower" tracks. Mt. SAC is also nationally known for its Olympic Status, holding many Olympic trials and maintaining numerous Olympic records. Meets held at Azusa Pacific University will also prove to be helpful in increasing marks, since it is a "fast track" as well. Although there are no current plans to hold meets at CSUSM's track this season, students are encouraged to drive to Long Beach, Fullerton, Pamona, Mt. San Antonio (Mt. SAC), Azusa, Irvine, Northridge and British Columbia (national competition) in support of the team! | o nly place where you can get y our textbooks What more can we say? ia • • • • •i UNIVERSITY ST I A • • mP Rm %Jr � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

These parking citations may be invalid due to improper sign posting and the ofF-campus property not falling immediately under Parking Services'jurisdiction. Jim Courtney, Building Inspector for the City of San Marcos, said, "The property owner or manager can have the vehicles towed. They [Parking Services] can control the labeled lots, but they can't ticket kids in those unleased spaces or they're going t o end up with lawsuits." Parking Services has leased 160 parking spaces for 12-months at $1,000 per month at the 120 Craven Road property for use by CSUSM permit holders. Leased spaces are labeled with white paint "CSUSM PERMIT". The remaining 147 unmarked spaces are not leased by the university and are the private property of Palomar Pomerado Health Services. Dora Knoblock, director of Parking Services, says a clause in the lease agreement grants Parking Services the permission to cite violators. Parking Services Officers are "un-sworn officers," said Knoblock Parking Services has the authority to cite parking violations on property owned and leased by the CSU system.

Only a number marks it, like so many other doorways in this labyrinth maze we call Cal State San Marcos. Your hand reaches out and grips the handle as the door flings open. The sounds of life escape from the classroom, steamrollering over you. The small room overflows with students of all ages and beliefs who have come together. Lively discussion fills the air. Angry students zealously fight for their rights; others roll their eyes in boredom. Several raise their hand to remind us all to keep the peace and remember to work together. Applause booms through the crowd, but the chain does not break. With a new issue raised, the cycle of anger, boredom, and peace begins anew. The Inter-Club Council (ICC) meeting officially started on Friday, February 11, 2000, with a call to order at 1:40pm. Clubs join ICC is to receive full or partial funding for activities, limited insurance, and voting rights in all orders of council business. The representative of a club gives details on why they are asking for the money, then all the club reps vote yes or no to their request. Most funding is approved for at least half the amount requested, as long as it meets certain criteria. The discussion begins when the use of the money falls into a gray area in the rules. The first of these discussions fell on the request for funding of a "Safe Spring Fling" by Peer Education and Support Club, mainly because it was a large sum and other clubs felt it might be taking too much away from their store of shared funds. Eventually the motion passed, but with the condition that the Peer Education club seek partial funding from the American College Health Association. In attempting to give my opinion, I instead created problem conditions for the Peer club. I send my apologies. Peace was restored to ICC until The Victorious Club asked for thirty dollars for their Valentine's Day fundraiser. To sell lollipop bouquets the club needed a small amount of money for supplies. The club was denied funding because ICC money cannot be appropriated for fundraisers. The council quickly agreed to loan the Victorious Club thirty dollars, on the condition it is paid back after the funds have been raised. By the end of the meeting, almost every club drew together in an effort to find the best solution for funding each club's activities. By engaging in a kind of sparring match, members saw new ways around obstacles in order to get to their mutual goal: to engage students with activities that will awaken them to their campus and community. Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER District Supervisor Bill Horn presented his "State of North County Address" to the major San Diego news networks and media, members of the community, and distinguished guests in room ACD102 on Friday, February 11, 2000. "It has been my tradition for the last five years to tailor a message specifically for North County," remarked Bill. As supervisor of the fifth district of San Diego County (which includes San Marcos), Horn works to preserve the public health, safety, and welfare of the people. Five individuals make up the Board of Supervisors. They sit on several committees to try to implement changes that they think will better serve the whole community. In other words, they are the people we send in t o deal with all the "bureaucratic mess." Speaking on behalf of all of us, Bill stated, "I would like to say thank you to our Sheriff's Department, District Attorney, the Probation Department, and the Courts for making our communities safer and for working together in a unified effort to stop crime in North County." Horn also stated, "The Gates Library Foundation will allow the placement of 54 personal computers and 16 printers." The libraries that will receive part of the $140,000 in materials funding are Borrego Springs, San Marcos, District Supervisor Bill Horn Valley Center, Vista, and Fallbrook. Due to his belief in education as one deterrent to crime, Horn also took credit for obtaining funding for an upcoming replacement library in Valley Center. He also hinted upon a new Pilot Program that will filter pornographic web sites in libraries. Right before his goodbye, Horn sent out the question, "You wouldn't send your children to the park with a pedophile, why would you send your kid to the library with a pornographer?"

By Joel Montes history This is my second year at CSUSM. I would like to think that I speak for the majority of students on this issue. It only took me one semester to figure this out.

After the first e-mail wish to participate in collegiate study." We should also have extended hours for basic services at least once a week such as a Thursday where Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, EOP, I received, I visited the web site described in the e-mail and 'agreed' to the policy, then Cashier, and other services can provide help to students and future students who otherwise may received two additional e-mails describing how students are required to 'agree' to the policy. The repeated e-mailing despite compliance is offensive. find it difficult to do so during regular hours. The e-mail also contained a threat, which also violates the policy. Describing how the "Works in partnership with other California educational institutions to maximize educaaccounts will be locked for non-compliance is a threat — the threat to damage students' tional opportunities forstudents." Another thing that i s frustrating to those of us, who are transfer students from a California institution, is that not all of our transferable credits are transfer- ability to perform and complete electronic course work. Furthermore the 'agreeing' to the policy is the entering into a contract with CSUSM. able. It doesn't make sense. Neither does the rule that we have to take a certain amount of units However, this contract is invalid. A contract entered under duress is meaningless. Due here to graduate. It is a waste of time and money for us taxpayers trying to make a better life to the writing requirements at CSUSM, and the fact that many instructors communicate for our children and ourselves. The argument may arise that there are not enough funds to expand student services or that important class information electronically, computer access is a necessity at CSUSM. the demand does not substantiate such a claim. Take a poll. Barbecues are fine, concerts are Therefore coercing students to 'agree' to a policy by threatening to lock their account is good but when the mid semester crunch kicks in or finals start coming around the corner and not only in violation of the policy, but also invalidates the agreement. I find it offensive graduating seniors scampering around the campus, all that doesn't matter. Services matter. that CSUSM is forcing students to enter a meaningless contract of suffer academically. It is offensive that a public institution would attempt to limit freedom of speech. StuJ Library hours matter. Computer lab hours matter. How much more money does it take to do this?

I think that we as students need to start pressuring our rep- policy clearly limits it. This letter to the Pride is in violation of the computer equipment resentatives and administrators. Doing so will make the administration take the student body access policy because it is not academic, and I am writing it on a campus computer and e-mailing from a CSUSM e-mail account, and also because it may be deemed offensive seriously by making them accountable for what they do with our money.

We can make a face for San Marcos, instead of following along with the Deeply offended, and violating the policy. administration's definition. Offensive E-mail from Garrett Collins DEAR EDITORS, I am writing to thank Johnny Coogan for his incredibly insightful article "To Read or not to Read". I find it amazing that reading has dropped so pitifully in the last few years. Kids (and probably adults) do not read enough at all. One might call them shallow. I myself am an avid reader: Critchton, Koontz, and Grisham are among my favorite authors. However, I find it very difficult to read a book for pleasure during the semester because of all of the reading that I am already assigned. I agree that everyone should read more, but as long as Playstation is around - sad to say - that is just not going to happen. J.

Knoblock said that the University Police has made no official sanction, and that the University Police is a separate entity from Parking Services. Knoblock also stated that permanent signs are on order. Parking Services' "temporary" signs have been in place for the first two weeks of the spring semester. Carl Blaisdell, Building Division Director for the City of San Marcos, said "If you post a sign, if you post a sign, then it must confirm to a certain width, height, material, location,,.. all that kind of stuff." When shown photographs of the handwritten signs placed by Parking Services, and asked if they are a valid posting, Blasdell responded, "I don't know. You'd have to go to court." Blasdell also stated that a judge could rule, "If I can see it, you can read it."

Knoblock reminded that there is an appeals system in place if a recipient feels that they have been ticketed unjustly. "If legal counsel becomes involved in this—we pull out of it and we let our legal counsel deal with it," said Knoblock. "The judge—that's the final decision." Courtney didn't agree and stated, "If you take it to a court, a judge is going to say 'that is not posting.' A reasonable driver is going to look where: 74-inches off the ground," and later added "the signs aren't anchored—they're not permanent." Deputy Charles Vorce of the San Marcos Sheriff's Department said, "If the Chief of Police issued any official sanction or temporary parking order, then these would be the signs." Deputy Vorce used an example of a bicycle race requiring temporary road closure.

In return, young men would court those women whose notes were drawn. The church merged the Roman holiday and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine into one when Christianity became the official religion of Rome. PRIDE STAFF WRITER The Tomb of Saint Valentine Valentine's Day comes when money has been drained from our pockets right after Christmas. It is a holiday second only to Christmas in spending and wrapping. Have you ever wondered why we celebrate Valentine's Day? Did it ever cross your mind that the beheading of a priest and a bishop resulted in such a celebrated and traditional day? The historical story of Valentine's Day is by far gloomier and less romantic than its modern version. Legend has it that Valentine, a Christian priest, married young lovers against the orders of Claudius II. According to Claudius, his men would be less willing tofightin war if they were allowed to marry, so he outlawed marriage. The priest did not follow orders and continued to marry young couples. As a consequence, the execution of the priest Valentine took place on February 14, 269 AD. Strangely, years later, another martyr, a bishop, also by the name of Valentine, was beheaded as well. Here's another Valentine's story: February 15 was the day designated to honor the Roman god Lupercus. To celebrate, young women would write and deposit In the United States, the greeting card industry sells millions of Valentine cards each year. Nowadays, Valentine's Day no longer includes religious customs burdened with martyrdom. Instead, sweethearts exchange cards. I must add, however, that after speaking with several students on campus, I find that would-be sweethearts claim they would prefer something less generic in gifts, such as cards, PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Dr. Lytle did not play any of Johnson's music but he suggested students read Johnson's book Black Manhattan. Dr. Lytle also performed scores by Thomas "Fats" Waller that he All in the name of love. Stained glass window depicting S t Valentine Celine Dion's "All The Way...A Decade Of Song Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR Kathleen Hash and Giovanni Ferrer Dr. Lytle told the audience that he liked to improvise when he felt the piece called for it. He asked, "Do you play what's on the page, or do you trust James Wallen Johnson and improvise?" When asked what would be the worst Valentine's Day gift, Spanish major Lupe Canseco answered, "A Valentine's card with nothing written in it except a signature." Who would have thought that the death of two religiousfigures,mythology, and lore would have resulted in the holiday we celebrate today? How did the exchange of cards begin? Another Valentine legend arose during the Middle Ages. Lovers exchanged messages and gifts because it was commonly believed at this time that birds began to mate on February 14. Valentine cards came to the United States with the first English settlers. Mailing homemade Valentine messages became common practice when postal systems were organized. In 1847, Esther A. Howland developed the first cards and sold $5000 worth in cards. Howland's Valentines became incredibly popular. Cecil Lytle: Piano Sounds through Music History On Thursday, February 10, 2000, pianist, Dr. Cecil Lytle presented a selection of music he called "Rags to Other Riches" in ACD 102. Dr. Lytle, a music history professor at UCSD is also the provost of UCSD's Thurgood Marshall Charter School. His selection for the evening consisted mainly of African American com posers that ranged from the late-1800s to mid-1900s. He performed three pieces by Scott Joplin, the most recognizable being "Mapleleaf Rag". chocolate, or a teddy bear, for Valentine's Day. Other students said they would prefer a self made and personalized card for Valentine's Day. felt might be new to most of the audience, as well as pieces like, "Alligator Crawl" and "African Ripples". Dr. Lytle was also a constant source of information and spoke about each piece in-between performances. The music professor was very excited about sharing the deep history of music with the audience. Dr. Lytle's enthusiasm was evident in his passionate and emotional performance, as his repertoire jumped from African American composers to Jewish-American composer, George Gershwin's "Three Piano Preludes". Hefinishedthe evening with "Giant Steps" by jazz artist John Coltrane. Dr. Lytle recorded a compilation of hymns last fall. The album, which will be released this summer and can be found at the UCSD bookstore, is as of yet untitled. Valentine's Day comes and goes every year. However, for those of you looking for romantic, "lovey-dovey" type music to listen to yearround, there is Celine Dion's most recent CD release, "All The Way...A Decade Of Song". Grammy-award winner Celine Dion's current CD compilation includes nine past favorites, including three movie theme songs: "Beauty and the Beast," "Because You Loved Me," from the film "Up Close & Personal," and "My Heart Will Go On," from the film "Titanic". In addition to such past great hits, there are seven new songs, including Dion's newest up-beat single, "That's The Way It Is," and a remake of Roberta Flack's 1972 hit, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face". This CD compilation, totaling sixteen songs, is a good purchase for music-lovers interested in Dion's more popular songs. "All The Way...A Decade of Song" results in slow, soft, soothing "pop" songs for listeners. Depending on your taste in music, this compilation may either help you fall asleep at night or help you relax after a long day of classes. Celine Dion's sweet-sounding, yet unbelieyably strong vocal talent may impress even those who may not be fans of this genre of music. �LEAVE LEONARDO AT TffE BEACH By Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER Based on the book by writer Alex Garland, The Beach offers the viewer a sense of what life would be like away from everyday rituals and a world f ull of technology. not last forever. A decision that Richard made earlier in the movie comes back to haunt him and ultimately destroys his wonderful life away from reality. The movie opens with Richard (two-time Golden Globe nominee and Academy Award Nominee Leonardo DiCaprio) in Thailand in search of Paradise.

I guess the director felt it would take several malicious murders to bring Richard, and myself, back to the reality that the beach is not so perfect The Beach, which runs 112 minutes, has an upbeat mix of music that enhances the fast-paced adventure and, had it not strayed into such a bizarre direction, I would have said, "do not miss this one." However, if you need your Leonardo fix, then I say you'd be better off renting Titanic and Who's Eating Gilbert Grape. Rated R for really foul language, sexual content, and gratuitous violence.

BE ALL YOU CAN B E www.goarmy.com �President Gonzales Makes Club Signs Removed the Grade! Jana Homik Joni Miller PRIDE STAFF WRITER PRIDE STAFF WRITER If you have noticed a little more elbow room while on your way to classes in Academic Hall, it is not just your imagination. A number of freestanding, sandwich board signs were removed from the breezeway on the second floor over the Winter break. CSUSM's very own President Gonzalez was listed among some of San Diego's finest who were honored by San Diego Magazine's top 50 "People to Watch" in 2000. The January issue touted Gonzalez as a "no-nonsense educator who has eased troubling racial discord on campus, forged relationships with local community leaders, and won battle for funds to unclog traffic bottleneck at State Route 78 and Twin Oaks Valley Road." San Diego Maga zine reported that the President's plans to increase efforts for school funding for the proposed state of the art library, athletic facilities and student housing were just some of the upcoming challenges Gonzalez will face. The article summed up Gonzalez' performance to date by saying, "With enrollment on the rise and a hard-charg- ing Gonzalez at the helm, CSUSM enters the 21st century as a growing educational force with a solid mission statement." According to the magazine "there are so many watchables out there, the hardest part^ i s narrowing the list to 50...There is no standard formula. But we draw from a wide pool of talent, and we think we've arrived at a list that encompasses a broad range and diverse collection of San Diegans." Others named on the list are San Diego Police Chief David Bejarano, San Diego Museum of Art Director Don Bacigalupi, San Diego Opera Director Ian Campbell, State Senator Steve Peace, MP3 founder and CEO Michael Robertson, and Chief of Staff to the Governor Lynn Schenk. Congratulations President Gonzalez!

According to Steve Orsak, director of Environmental Health and Occupational Safety (EH&OS), the signs were creating a safety hazard and blocking emergency exit areas. At least one half of the breezeway must be clear, said Orsak, and several of the signs had blown over, requiring students to step around or over the downed signs. Trevor Knudsen of the Anime Club notes, "Anime Project Alliance's board was broken in the process [of removal] and we were never notified that it was going to be taken down, or that it had been after the fact, we had to hunt it down and it took a while." Orsak believes that the wind, rather than rough treatment caused damage to the signs he called "abandoned." The signs lacked any identifying marks or names, and were therefore considered abandoned and removed. Leiana Naholowaa, Pride newspaper ^editor, said that the large newspaper wood bin near the stairway of Academic Hall was missing one day of the week right before school began. The whole walkway was cleared of signs and bins and she stated, "It looked like the area had just been water-blasted and cleaned. I assumed that Facilities would return our newspaper stand later on, and they did." Signs outside of Academic Hall tried to trade in their sandwich board sign for a more permanent glass case, similar to those already posted in Academic Hall. In spite of numerous attempts to obtain permission for such a sign, Kimberly Whidden, President of the Accounting Society last year never received a call back. "I too, believe the signs are unsightly, however clubs need a common area to post notices of our choice...Members need up to date information and a place to leave messages for each other." The Accounting Society has Sandwich boards placed by the university, reminding stu- 1.5-liter, 4-cyl produces 108 hp and boasts 34-mpg city, and 41-mpg highway. 110 hp with 28-mpg city, and 35-mpg highway. dents of deadlines and badgering them to pay their tuition, remain. Because the campus has no clear policy on sign placement, Orsak has contacted Administrative Services and requested that a task force be created to look at the sign posting policies. Clubs will continue to compete with each other and the university for the prime locations. If your club is missing a sign, they are being held by EH&OS.

Bernard Hinton, a business professor who hired the first series of business instructors f or the new campus, retired from CSUSM on January 31, 2000. Hinton had originally chosen to come to CSUSM because it was an "opportunity of a lifetime [and] a professional challenge." "Hinton is known as being demanding, but focused," said Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications, "He knew what he wanted and how he wanted it done." Hinton actively participated in the building design of the campus and was instrumental in making sure that construction was completed on time. He helped the university in its move into Craven Hall and made sure that Hibiscus flowers were included in the campus' landscaping. Although Hinton is retired from teaching, he is the president and CEO of SmartCities, a company which provides low cost internet access for schools in the district and founded LightSpeed Fiberlink, Inc., an Internet service provider. Hinton grew up in the inner city of P etroit and majored in biochemistry until his senior year when he changed to business. One day he was called into his office by his Dean and handed a contract which stated he would be teaching the next semester as he earned his MBA. Hinton h adn't thought about teaching or -getting his MBA, but took the j ob. He went on to get his doctorate at Stanford. •111111 $m ^mgmm^m HnHmm iMiifiimi i W§MmS l t t ^ l w l mmm ®8 S s! mm His goal as a teacher was to impact the lives of his students and he says that students he had in his class 30 years ago still keep in touch with him.

Vol vn No. 19/ Monday, February 21,2000 Students gathered around street preacher Jed Smock Thursday, February 17, at the campus Free Speech area between Academic and Science Halls. Pastor Smock paced back and forth on the wide edge of a cement planter outside of the main entrance to Academic Hall and preached to a raucous crowd about what he called the evils of smoking, drinking alcohol, lying, homosexuality, and "whoremongering". "You've believed the lies of Charles Darwin. Many of you copulate like rabbits and love like dogs." Students alternately heckled and questioned the preacher. One student was overheard saying "he has done too much LSD, " and another student, Freshman Brian Sullivan, said, "Let him speak. I think it's interesting." The crowd engaged the preacher in debates and discussions on many topics including the alleged sexual promiscuity of fraternity members, and Smock's beliefs about homosexuality. When a student yelled out, "What are you?" Smock yelled back, "I'm a preacher. Most of you aren't students; you're party animals." Diego Aguallion, a TKE member, challenged the characterization of frat boys as party animals, and asked Smock, "Are you Preacher Jed Smock admonishes a crowd ofCSUSM Students aware of our philanthropic endeavPaul Blanchard/THE PRIDE ors?"

Others shouted at the preacher, saying he should leave the campus, and that his presence there violated the separation of church and state doctrine. California State University San Marcos Free Speech and Public Assembly P.olicy states: The University recognizes the right to [sic] staff, faculty, and students to debate current issues, to protest policies and to dissent. While participating in these activities, individuals are expected to conduct themselves in a manner compatible with the educational mission of the University, to observe University, CSU, and state regulations and to be responsible in their personal behavior. Associated Students Executive Director Darlene Willis said, "This is part of student life; it's Freedom of Speech. This is showing that the campus is growing. It probably wouldn't have happened here four orfiveyears ago." Smock said he was at University of "California San Diego on Monday and Tuesday, and at San Diego State University on Wednesday before turning his focus on the California State University San Marcos campus. According to Pastor Smock, the growth and notoriety of the CSUSM campus attracted the attention of an* acquaintance who said the preacher should visit here. Smock emphasized that he is a former college professor from "the University of Wisconsin" and that he has preached at over 700 colleges and universities in the United States and abroad over the past 25 years. He currently pastors a non-denominational church in Newark, Ohio, called the College Community Church, and is the author of Who Will Rise Up published by The Campus Ministry U.S.A.. When a female student challenged Pastor Smock saying that he belonged at a Christian university that shared his beliefs, Smock shot back that the students here "probably don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." Glass told Smock, "I don't have a specific religion, I haven't studied any of them to believe. I am not going to believe just because others said it was so." Smock responded by saying, "Most of you haven't seriously investigated any religion, so how can you have faith?" �2 Monday February 21, 2000 DEAR EDITORS, On February 11,1 attended the ICC meeting as a representative of the CSUSM College Republicans. Upon arrival, the number of student clubs present quickly impressed me; although I didn't count them I would say that there were over 30 clubs represented at the meeting. Such a diverse group of student organizations active enough to attend ICC is great! It looks like CSUSM might be finally gaining a "campus-life" so to say. To all the clubs; KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! However, not everything from the meeting was positive. I was concerned with the "rules" concerning what a club can be authorized money for and what they c an't Example: one club was granted $400 dollars for posters to advertise an upcoming event while another club was refused $200 for T-shirts to advertise their event. The reason? Current ASI rules do not allow money to be used for club use, only for campus activities. However, as explained (by the Student Parents Club, I believe), the T-shirts were going to be used to promote an oncampus event. The ICC authorized $400 for posters that will just be thrown away after the event (money in the trash) and did not authorize $200 for T-shirts that could be worn over and over again. Sounds like a huge waste to me. What do you think? I brought this up to the Board but was quickly advised by the ASI Executive Director that ASI rules did not permit allocating money for T-shirts. The Board, however, seemed to be split on the issue and ICC tabled it for the next meeting. I don't mind funding posters and other forms of advertisement for events but I think we should fund all forms of advertisement. We should reward clubs who effectively promote their activities and who avoid trashing their materials after the event, not punish them. IfASI rules need to be changed then so be it, CHANGE THEM! All it will take is a simple vote by the ASI Board. ASI claims to be "by the students, for the students." I know they are by the students but I have found myselfquestioning more than once if they are truly for the students. Having said all this, I want to remind everyone that there will be ASI elections this semester and that although these are only student offices, they are very important. ASI votes on many issues regarding campus life (i.e. how to spend your money, and what student clubs can and can not do). They have voted to give themselves Christmas bonuses (with your money) but won't allocate funds for T-shirts? In the next ASI election, let's clean house and replace every member of ASI with new members that truly are FOR THE STUDENTS. Mike Sanella as lse.

OPINION ®[)e$rtbe More Smock Talk: A Different Opinion Victor Mireles There are some things that get people riled. Religion and God are two of the things that seem to provoke an argument any time they are discussed in a public forum. Thursday February 17, 2000, will go down as the day that one man did what ASI, clubs or the 10th anniversary celebration failed to do. He got people to stop what they were doing and become involved in a group event. Pastor Jed SmockfromNewark, Ohio, preached for several hours on subjects as diverse as life, death, homosexuality and a myriad of other issues that often push peoples' buttons. What I saw were crowds willing to mix it up with a man whose beliefs were unshakable. Some said that he was "ignorant," while others said that they "did not understand." Others seemed visibly angry at what DEAR EDITORS, On behalf.ofmyselfand all other students who are stuck in a busy but monotonous schedule, I would like to thank Mr. Jed Smock and his associates for coming to our campus and engaging with us in debate. The conversation was passionate and engaging (although I only stayed for a portion of it). The last time that there was a campus event with nearly as much passion was the Roger Hedgecock show, but even that was subdued compared to this seemingly spontaneous event. he said, and, as one person put it, "He is a zealot who has no business being here." What all these individuals fail to see is that he did have the right to be on campus. I will not defend his views, but I will say that no one has to like what he said. We live in an open society and in this society we must be tolerant of people who speak with a loud mouth. The only reason this circus took place was that WE gave him a forum. People have the right to speak but they do not have the right to be heard. I say to all those who hated the guy and were angered that you could have been rid of him if you simply had ignored him. People like him, both on the far right and left, need us to pay attention. Without us they ate powerless and have no venue. With us, people like him are made to look important when in reality they have nothing to say. The level of discourse in America often looks like this with people shouting and no one listening. Pastor Jed did not want to convert anyone. He wanted us to listen. And for that we are guilty of playing into his hands. I hope that in the future we take the time to stop and think about how we feel when we are confronted with something that bothers us to such an extent. I hope that the next time we are confronted with a person, who wishes to stir tilings up in such a manner, we pause. We should pause to ask the person what he or she is doing. To make things interesting we should agree with him or her or question their sense of importance. Otherwise, we should do the next best thing and ignore the person, move on and enjoy Pleasantville. Mr. Smock's courage and conBeyond the content of the debate, the aesthetics were also viction were inspiring, a lesson to beautiful. The triangle produced by all of us. No one on campus, to the the main speaker and his two associ- best of my knowledge, has in the ates, seated in folding chairs in front past several years stepped up and of him, was a wonderful formation brought about such a lively theoretical and spiritual debate. symbolic of the trinity. Mr. Smock's elevated stance on the wall was a simple and classic oratory convention that reminded me of America's long and proud public speaking tradition. The crowd also grouped into a classic formation shaped like a horseshoe around the speaker with an opposition champion stepping forward to help speak for a large portion of the crowd. I would like to extend an open invitation to Mr. Smock, and any other individual or organization who would like to stimulate such interest and entertainment on campus, to return to CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SAN MARCOS. Thank you. Trevor Knudsen African American History Month By Johnny Coogan walked into the restaurant, but I noticed that people were staring at me with an eye of contempt.

To all Students, Faculty, Staff: Call for Tokens, Artifacts, and Significant Objects The Women's Studies Department, in cooperation with the CSUSM library is arranging a display cabinet in the library in celebration of Women's Herstory Month {March). There is current research exploring the connection between women's history, women as caretakers of objects and women's writing- suggesting the usefulness of mounting a display of such meaningful artifacts. Student, Stephanie Sullivan, is acting as curator. You (and anyone you know who may be interested) are invited to submit objects that mean something to you, along with a card explaining what the item is, and the meaning behind it. Items should be relatively small. We would also like a picture of you and perhaps the person associated with the object. There will be a possibility of filming interviews to create a lasting visual herstory. The case is good sized, locked and secure. There is a further possibility of displaying needlework, i.e. stitchery, quilting, etc. More information will be provided to interested parties. Please get in touch with Stephanie, if you have any ideas, contributions, or reactions. Stephanie can be reached at momers@pacbell.net We hope to make this a beautiful and poignant display.

He sometimes arrives on campus an hour and a half before his classes begin to ensure that he can find a space.

The Arts Building will have a 250-seat auditorium, eclipsing the campus' present 145-seat auditorium in ACD 102. Additionally, there will be al50-seat rehearsal theater with a stage large enough to host a 30-piece chamber orchestra. Still a third performance arena will be a "Black Box Theatre." The versatile theater will be a wide-open space where seating can be varied for each performance transforming the stage from the traditional prosceniumstyle to a thrust-style, or a theater-in-the-round. The theatre will also have sprung-typeflooringfor dance and movement classes. "It gives the students the opportunity to experiment and t o be in different theater settings," said Decker. The new Arts building will also have stations for ceramics, painting, and sculpture; music practice rooms; video editing bays; a recording studio; a multimedia studio. The new Science building will have specific laboratories for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, as well as five computer labs assigned to the Computer Science and Math departments. Decker said the current Science Hall will continue to be used as a laboratory building, but the new Science building will house "the next generation of labs for us." "North County has an incredible number of companies performing pharmacological and biological work: you have to respond to those sorts of things," said Decker. The Construction Company of Swinerton and Walberg, described by Decker as "a regional powerhouse in construction," is the "apparent low-bidder" with a bid of $20,670,000 for the two buildings. Swinerton and Walberg completed construction on the campus* newest classroom facility, University Hall, in Fall 1999 for a final cost of nearly $12.5 million. Construction on the new buildings will not begin until after the apparent low-bid is declared official, and the construction company posts the appropriate bonds. The "highly formalized process" takes six to eight weeks, said Decker. The new buildings, with an expected completion date of May 2003^ are paid for primarily through state-appropriated funds. Decker said, "We're still trying to figure out some additional funding" but quickly dispelled any concerns that construction could halt mid-way because of a lack of funds: "These buildings will be built." PAUL BLANCHARD/The Pride nient." Leiter is looking at a possible interim parking site adjacent to the University Services Building at La Moree Rd. and Barham Dr., but this is not firm. More disabled parking with a ramping and elevator plan is due in 2002. In regards to disabled parking for Fall 2000, Leiter stated, "Hopefully, there will be enough." Campus Improvements By Mike Spangler PRIDE NEWS EDITOR CSU San Marcos received $200,000 for "Minor Capital Improvements" which qualify as costs under $250,000. The next improvements for students on how to negotiate the "Chutes and Ladders" of the campus for the year 2000 will come out of these State funds. New maps and signs will replace the "You Are Here" maps already on campus and will direct campus users to the nearest elevator. Users will see how best to travel from "The Dome" to the third floor of University Hall. A student or guest will also be able to download the map from the university web site. Signage for "Accessible Paths of Travel" has topped the list of university improvements due to the efforts of John Segoria, Director of Disabled Student Services, and Purchasing Agent, Cynthia Botta. A new sidewalk will replace the existing gravel pathway that students use t o walk between the student parking lots and the buildings of the university. The sidewalk will also run along the south side of Craven Road up to its intersection with Twin Oaks Valley Road. At a cost of $85,000, the new sidewalk is intended for completion in the summer 2000. * �Guest Speaker Talks about Germany, the Reunification, and the European Union Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER What would it be like if California and Mexico combined to form one country? It would be comparable to the fall of the Berlin wall and the union of East and West Germany. Imagine the amount of money that California would have to invest in Mexico to bring up the Mexican economy to the level of Califonia; this is what the former West Germany has put into the former East Germany. Margit Haberle of the German Consulate General's Office in LosAngeles spoke to an audience of sixty on Wednesday, February 23, 2000 in a lecture sponsored by the CSUSM German Club and German Department. Astrid Ronke, a German Professor at CSUSM was hoping the lecture would bring some attention to the German department and make CSUSM more globally diverse. Haberle's lecture focused on Germany and the European Union and "what has changed since the fall of the Berlin Wall ten years ago." To make the concept of the combining of East and West Germany easier for the students to understand, Haberle compared the union to California and Mexico becoming one country. There is also the problem of Mexican workers who are welltrained workers but aren't as skilled in new technology as Californians are. East Germans has the same problem as Mexico and West Germany has had to train many workers in new skills. One of the benefits of the union between East and West Germany is that they all speak CSU May Lower Graduation Requirements to 120 Units (CSU News Release) The Trustees heard a short presentation on lowering the CSU graduation requirement from 124 to 120 semester units at the January 2000 CSU Board of Trustees Meeting. They are scheduled for a discussion and probable vote on the resolution, which requires a change in Title V, at the May Trustees meeting. Both the CSU Cornerstones Imple mentation Plan, a strategic plan for CSU's future, and the 1999/00 Govenor's budget recommended that the CSU shorten the time it takes a student to graduate. The 124-unit requirement in the CSU is linked to a four-unit physical education activity requirement imposed in mid-century but which most CSU campuses no longer embrace. CSU San Marcos Graduations Requirements state, "Six units of physical activity coursework and four units of intercollegiate sports activity will be allowed towards a degree at CSUSM." The CSU press release stated that it is particularly incongruent to require 124 units at the CSU, when a normal course load x>f 15 units over four years would still leave a student four units short of graduation. The University of California, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and most universities across the nation use 120 units as a minimum unit requirement for graduation. the same language, although there was some difference in what different professions were termed. Germany is also a member of the European Union, which is important because it is "too complicated to have so many separate entities in a world market," said Haberle. The Deutsch Mark will no longer exist One of the major changes in in 2002 because of the creation of Germany is the move of the capital the Euro. "from Bonn to Berlin. By putting the Prior to the reunification, it was capital in Berlin, East Germans feel uncommon for Germans to invest more involved in the union between in the stock market because it was east and west.

At universities that have on-campus housing, the problem is more Funny images of the Animal House movie have given way to the new reality that binge drinking is no laughing matter. In the past, college campuses across the nation were not concerned about alcohol issues on campus. However, social attitudes have changed over the past 20 years and in a 1997 Harvard University Study on college drinking it found that "84% of all students drank during the school year and almost half (44%) of all students were binge drinkers." The study focused on 140 state and private universities, but did not include commuter campuses such as CSU San Marcos. Despite CSUSM's status as a commuter campus, alcohol problems do exist in the student body. visible." Counseling and Psychological Services therapists Ph.D. Leslie Wilson and Ph.D. Michelle Boutte Burke commented on state of drinking issues on the CSUSM campus. Current data on health problems and counseling referrals due to alcohol and drugs could not be obtained, but Dr. Wilson said that it would surprise her if, "some of the people seen at Health Services were being seen for problems caused by alcohol." that trying to eliminate drinking on campus was not helpful, but rather changing the culture of drinking was key to stemming drinking problems. parking tickets," Dr. Burke said. When asked if it made any difference whether or not a campus was dry, Dr. Burke stated, "You can have alcohol with approval from (CSUSM) President Gonza"Colleges with high binge lez.

"We must try and influence people early." However, he did agree that the campus' current status as a commuter makes the issue not as significant as it would be on other campuses. When asked to sum up the problem in a word both therapists said, "Access." As this school moves from being a commuter campus to a campus with housing these issues will likely take a higher precedent. However, only time will tell if CSUSM can change the culture of drinking. �Free Whether Sworn or Community Service, Officers Provide Campus Safety Tay-Sachs Testing on C ampus Johnny Coogan PRIDE STAFF WRITER Victoria B. Segall PRIDE FEATURE EDITOR In the general public, 1 out of 250 people may be a carrier for the gene. If both parents of the child are carriers of the disease, there is a 25% chance that their child may be afflicted with Tay-Sachs. On Tuesday, February 29, CSUSM's Pre-Health Society, in collaboration with the California Tay-Sachs Disease Prevention Program, will hold Tay-Sachs Testing, free and open to the student body, faculty, staff and general public. The rate of Tay-Sachs occurrence is especially high in European-Jewish and French-Canadian ethnic populations. In these ethnic groups, 1 out of 27 people may be a carrier of the Tay-Sachs gene. "However this disease can occur with anyone, regardless of ethnic population," says Dr. Joanne Pedersen, a health profession advisor here on campus. "Tay-Sachs is one of the most agonizing diseases to die from," comments Dr. Pedersen. "This Prevention Program tries to test as many adults of child-bearing age, so if you're a carrier you'll be aware and know the risks." The Prevention Program is a public service supported by the California Department of Health. Tay-Sachs disease causes a breakdown in the central nervous system due to an absent enzyme that normally breaks down toxic fatty substances in the brain. The disease strikes very young children, usually at the age of 6 months. As the child's age progresses, the child loses mental capabilities and motor skills, and overall health begins to deteriorate. Since there is no cure for Tfcy-Sachs, a child with the disease rarely lives past four or five years of age. "The mission of the California Tay-Sachs Prevention Program is to screen people, not only in high risks populations, but to test as many [individuals] as possible because anybody can be a carrier," says Dr. Pedersen. The free Tay-Sachs screening includes a simple blood test and a confidential medical history form completed by the individual being tested. Testing will be performed by licensed medical professionals in Commons 206 from 10:00am 2:00pm on Tuesday, February 29, 2000. Where is Campus Security? Over one thousand students attend classes at night, Monday through Thursday, after 6:00pm. Many students worry that the University isn't doing all it can to protect them. Others believe that security should be more visible so students won't feel vulnerable when walking to their cars. "We have six sworn officers, a lieutenant, and a chief that are stationed at this school. We are a functioning police station right here on campus. We do work with the other law enforcement agencies in the area but we are our own entity," says Sworn Officer Mario Sainz. One sworn officer patrols the campus at night to ensure safety for any students that happen to be at school. Kyra Richards, Community Service Officer (CSO) supervisor, stated that there are 11 CSOs employed by the school to patrol in case of any unforeseen incident. night the CSOs are probably just Gonzalez sees the inclusion of eating on their break."

Leadership Campus Web Site User-Unfriendly? 2000 Andrea Cavanaugh PRIDE OPINION EDITOR CSUSM hosted a gathering of North County community leaders on Thursday, February 17, to celebrate the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university's Extended Studies program. The training program for community leaders has found its "natural home" on the San Marcos campus this year, according to CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez. The program has produced more than 200 graduates since it was established in 1986. The mayors of San Marcos and Escondido are among the program's alumni, as well as many of North County's corporate and community leaders. The program was devised to train civic leaders, based on the idea that citizens can instigate positive change in their communities. Gonzalez sees the inclusion of Leadership 2000 into the university as a "natural fit" because "the university's mission statement says that we will be part of the community, and this is a very good example of what we can do." CSUSM will provide curriculum material, faculty support, and classroom space in its commitment to host the program.

A 4YES' vote means that a person convicted of a second degree murder charge against a peace officer working for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) or the CSU system will face longer prison terms than what the current law provides. A NO vote means that the punishment remains the same, confinement for 15 years to life. The new measure will increase sentencing to 25 years to life, or life confinement without possible parole, depending on the circumstances involved in the case. A person who is convicted of a seconddegree murder charge upon a CSU campus police officer would result in the same punishment handed down to those who commit the same offense against all other peace officers across California. What began as an initiative passed by elected officials in the state legislature, Prop 19 is now up for voter approval. It provides CSUSM's peace officers with the same protection as officers at UCSD. Currently, a person would receive less time for murdering a CSU peace officer than they would from murdering a peace officerfromthe UC system. A clause in the proposition states that all people must aid a peace officer in apprehending a suspect, or else face a $1000fine.At any given moment, a campus peace officer could ask for your assistance and you may have to comply or face heavyfines.The argument is that we could be subject to assist a peace officer without having a weapon to protect ourselves. fefe, s u m m e r f s e s j ^ w s f f t a w a i ' f ^ | j § w eeksy6 credits, typical S ^yftion, room & board, b ooks/ a nd airfare) c osts M y 1: May 22~June 30 * Term 2: July 3-August 11 www.outreach.hawaii.edu •toll-free 1 (800) 862-6628 University of H awaii at Manoa, Summer S essions FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

BE ALL YOU CAN BE: www.goarmy.com �6 Tuesday, February 29, 2000 OPINION DEAR EDITORS: I was very concerned about the article in "The Pride" about Pastor Smock. Certainly, he has the right to free speech and his own opinions, but 1 would like the student body to know that not all Christians are like Pastor Smock. As Simona Groza said in the article, Christianity is about God's love and forgiveness. It is about undetstanding His gift of Christ and wanting to have a personal relationship with Him. In fact,Jesus warned against judging others. Unfortunately, I was not at school the day that Pastor Smock spoke, so I only have the newspaper article to go on. I have been a Christian for 19 years and I would like to state that, based on the article, I disagree with almost all of what Smock said, and especially with the way that he presented himself. As a commuter school with an average student age higher than that at most universities, I do not think that CSUSM is what I would call a "party school." I take personal offense at the comment that students here "don't have the grades or the money to attend a better school." I have a 4.00 GPA and I could have gone to any school I wanted to - but here I am. As to Smock's religious opinions, I think he may be mis-interpreting the Bible. Some biblical scholars believe that the passages in the Bible that speak against homosexuality do not refer to homosexuality itself but the violence with which these acts were committed during that particular time period. As to his opinion about women I have several things to say. First of all, there were many important women in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, some being very close friends of Jesus. Secondly, most of the things written by Paul in I Corinthians, which sexists often use to support their beliefs, refer specifically to the women at the church in Corinth. Thirdly, when Paul uses the phrase "wives submit to your husbands" in Ephesians and Colossians, he is very clear that this relationship goes both ways and he tells husbands to love their wives as much as Christ loves us - and that is a lot! Funny, how men seem to leave that part out, isn't it? Maybe we can learn something from Pastor Smock. We can learn that when we are confronted with people we do not agree with, we should not reduce ourselves to their level. We should try to understand them, and why they are saying what they are saying, and then we will be able to intelligently discuss with them why we disagree. We can learn that one outspoken person does not necessarily represent the larger group that they claim to be a part of. I hope that this event will not drive people farther away from the truth, but give the Christians on campus the opportunity to share with people about God's love. Eye to Eye with Pastor Jed Smock Sonia Gutierrez As I read through Adra Hallford's article, "Students Debate with Street Preacher: Mocking Pastor Smock," in last weeks newspaper edition, I disagreed with most of Smock's bible based philosophies about keeping women in their proper place and his issues on homosexuality; however, to my surprise I agreed with him on his views of fraternities. Smock's comment that infuriated me the most was a homophobic law he postulated at the scene. Pastor Smock's solution against homosexuality consisted ofpassing a law that would enforce "homo patrols or something." The fact that Smock says, "or something," goes to show that he simply rambles off on a tangent as he speaks and tries to defend his standpoint. When Hallford informs the reader about Preacher Jed Smock being a professor at University of Wisconsin, I was blown away.

I am writing this after a poor experience in the library. I approached an older gentleman that was behind the counter and asked him for a book on reserve. His response was that I would have to "look it up on the computer to see if it's in"., ok. In all my experiences at the library, I had NEVER been told this. So, I looked it up. Unfortunately, the computer said the book was "missing" (as you can guess, it wasn't). So, he told me it was missing, without even taking the nano-second to LOOK, and I went about looking for another text. During this time, another student from my class approached him about an article for another class, same problem, look it up, even though the article was on RESERVE. Again, a new experience for her at the library. With this experience in mind, I decided to make a list of "good" and "bad" customer service areas on campus (I encourage anyone to add, or even disagree - it is opinion after all. Good: 1.

I sure would not want to be sitting in his classroom listening to him preaching solutions as to how to reform the world." Hallford's quotations serve as shocking revelations of how people, from young to older students, think at CSUSM's campus. The few minutes I was able to presence his speech. It reminded me of a circus better yet a Jerry Springer show although I still do not who was entertaining who, Pastor Smock to his crowd or vice versa. Hallford provides punch lines as quotations that kept beating at me as I read through her article. Two quotations I found extremely offensive and disturbing. "[F]rat boys use philanthropy to cover their guilt for their boozing and whoremongering" replied Smock after a TKE member defended their philanthropic endeavors. Of course, I have a aberration for Smock's word choice to refer to women as whoremongers. However, I have to admit, for once, I completely agreed with Pastor Smock, as I read through his disruption of peace. After reading scholarly research on college fraternities and the strong correlation to gang rape incidents, I was disgusted with the "fiats" sexist brotherhood bond. According to studies, youngfraternitymembers, not only mix alcohol and sexual intercourse, they desensitize from female sensibility, meaning lack of respect for women's bodies. Hallford's nejct quotation shows the senility behind fraternities bravado including CSUSM's, as one TKE member "assured Smock that, 'This guy [Aguallion] never gets laid.'"Amaya's response goes to show how vulgar and how fraternity members perceive sexual intercourse, as an activity that satiates the frats sexual yearnings. Ironically, he defames his own brother and implies he is not a "whoremonger" and is not a sexual prowess. Amaya's joke only reinforces Pastor Smock's views on sexual intercourse and males. TKE member used the word "laid" as if performing sexual intercourse is a mark of male virility and solely for male gratificationwhere the female is subservient and does all the work. students a free barbeque lunch. ASI has developed a process to fund activities that clubs wish to host that does not allow for any frivolous spending of your fees. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI offers many classes such as yoga, kickboxirig, and many other extracurricular activities. ASI offers discounts on movie and theme park tickets. WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY ASI planned many concerts and activities for your entertainment. • ASI brought new video games into the study lounge to accomodate your breaks in between classes. ASI has developed a childcare facility that has made the lives of student parents easier. With the addition of our new childcare representative, our fundraising for the childcare facility is at an all time high. There are so many things that go on in ASI that go unnoticed everyday. Most students do not take the time to explore what your student government is accomplishing for you. It is those students who wait for something to go wrong and then condemn the whole organization that bring down the morale of ASI and make our jobs that much more difficult. I am a very active student here on campus as well as an executive member on the ASI board and I pride myself on the accomplishments that our ASI has done. In the future I ask that students who are a eager to criticize the actions of others had better get more information on the issue than just their own opinion.

In only 14 words, Proposition 22 states that "only a marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized." This is also termed the Knight proposition because it was written by State Senator Pete Knight. Same sex marriage is currently not allowed by California law. But the initiative will prohibit recognition of same sex marriages performed outside of California. Proponents of Proposition 22 claim that "it's simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples," according to prop22yes.com. But opponents say the'TCnight initiative is unfair, divisive and intrusive," according to noonknight.com. This has been one of the most controversial propositions in this years election. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 22 is ahead in the public opinion polls. As of February 8th, 52%of Californians would vote yes and 39% no with 9% still undecided. become worse as a result of similar bills. This leads opponents to believe that if 22 is passed they won't be able to visit a sick partner in the hospital, collect on inheritance or a partners pension, take bereavement leave, file joint bankruptcy, and will make it even more difficult to adopt children. According to no on Knight advocates, 22 "doesn't defend marriage, it attacks families." According to a commercial sponsored by no on Knight, it doesn't matter if a person is against same sex marriage, what matters is that 22 fSictlifBi YES"22 f « >* rTfly rights in n t W states havp will "add more government interference in our lives." The cast members of NBC's Will and Grace also made a commercial to protest this proposition. The actor who plays Will on the series says by voting yes or no on this proposition, the voter will be voting "either for or against basic rights." This issue is also dividing the religious community. 400 clergy members spent the weekend of February 12th and 13th in prayer and protest against 22. Reverend J. Edwin Bacon, Jr. said this issue is made from "intolerance and bigotry." But other religious leaders and churches have spoken in support for voting yes on 22. The Mormon church has strongly encouraged members in California and elsewhere to send money and work hard for the measure. Hie Catholic church has also donated large amounts of money to the cause. According to prop22yes.com, this measure is "simply about preserving the sacred institution of marriage, which by God's design is between opposite-sex couples." Proponents focus on the fact that this measure is only 14 words and that there is "no legal double talk, no hidden agenda" (taken from the Voter Information Guide). They claim that it does not take away rights to inheritance or to visit partners in the hospital. Proponents say it is just common sense and a way to keep marriage from being redefined. CSU San Marcos students are also divided on this issue. Many who will vote yes on the issue sighted religious beliefs as the origin of their decision. A 24-year-old. Communications student said that it was the "Catholicism in [him] jumping out" and that "marriage is for procreation." A24-year-old psychology student said that "having [married homosexuals] come into the state is the same as letting them do it in California." On the side of the opposition, students mostly believe as Joy Childers said, that we need to "keep our eyes on ourselves and deal with our own wrongs." It was decided that it is a person's choice what he or she wants to do. Proponents say it is a simple proposition of common sense while opponents say it is going to spread fear and intolerance. On May 7th the decision will be made. Dear fellow CSUSM students, As you know, 2000 is an election year. Unfortunately, it is a fact that the voter awareness amongst people between the ages of 18 and 24 is extremely low. Too low. Hoping to get more students involved in the political process, I would like to give my opinion about one difference Joni Miller between the two major parties in America. You can choose which party sounds best for you. The California Department of Corrections budget is $4.5 billion dollars.

The Knight Initiative is community leaders, rather than centralized in distant big government. a measure to ban same-sex marriages on the California Ballot. In a statement given by Congressman Campbell earlier last year he said "I oppose the March 2000 California Ballot initiative on same-sex marriages and urge Democrats believe in centralized power in Washington, with secondary all elected officials to do the same. No opponent of this initiative need be in favor of gay marriage. To oppose consideration for the rights of individual citizens and communities. This this initiative, one need only be in favor of not seeking division in California on this issue now.. .. On the has led to increasingly more federal controls and regimentation, often issue of civil consequences, practical issues take precedence.

The Pride, I had mixed emotions as I read Joel Montes comments in the February 14 issue about the CSUSM Mission Statement. I was quite pleased to see a student speak out after taking the time to learn about the University mission. However, I was disappointed that there were some misunderstandings in Mr. Montes' message. My response is intended to demonstrate that administrators do read The Pride, do value student opinion, and to clear up some of the inaccuracies. 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday nights, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The library expands to 76 hours per week during peak demand times such as final examinations by staying open later weekday nights and longer hours on the weekend. asked to call the individual office and try to schedule special arrangements. Most offices can accommodate students with special needs. Transfer credits - The University has agreements with all of the nearby higher education institutions to ensure that credits transfer into and out of CSUSM. However, if Mr. Montes is referring to degree requirements, there is little CSUSM alone can do to ensure that a student transferring out of the University has credits accepted at the other campus. We do all we can to work with students who bring credits to CSUSM and provide a number of options for flexibility. Most of the time, we can work it out! Computer Lab hours — The computer lab has also experimented with longer hours and had the same experience as the library. Current hours are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday Library hours ~ The library has and 12 Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. tried extending its hours, only to Hours of other services — Many find too few students taking advantage of the longer hours to make student services are open for addiUnits required to graduate ~ the cost worthwhile.

Students who are unable to proposal to reduce the number of 68.5 hours per week, which run use services during regular hours are units required to complete a degree. That change requires the approval of the CSU Trustees and is now being considered. Until a change is made, some of the degrees at CSUSM require as many as 132 units. This is difficult to change for a variety of reasons, including accreditation. Even if the Trustees approve a reduction, it will take several years to implement the change. Shifting spending away from student life ~ I think students and administrators have identified creating more student life activities as a priority for our young campus. While some money is spent on barbeques and concerts, it is not enough to remedy even a few of the concerns Mr. Montes has noted. We must maintain a balance of activities on the campus and that balance must include cultural arts events and other student activities designed to be fun. I n conclusion, I 'd like to remind all students that the administration appreciates hearing comments and suggestions. Perhaps the best way is via e-mail by using the link on the campus web page. Input can also be made to individual offices by telephone, e-mail or in person. . Recent surveys find CSUSM students to be more satisfied with their experience on this campus, in general, than the average level of satisfaction of all CSU students. While that is gratifying, we know we must always strive to improve, and we thank Mr. Montes for his comments.

Negro spirituals combine African oral tradition and music, and originate from the southern plantations. "Spirituals are Bible stories set to music," Hopkins said. Lewis challenged educators to listen and learnfromtheir students. She said, "teaching in an academic area can only be measured by what we learn" and "the responsibility of teaching is mutual" between student and teacher. She encouraged educators to teach people how to tap into the disciplines that not only provide a paycheck, but that give fulfillment and joy.

The catered event, which included poetry, song, and inspirational speeches, was sponsored by Associated Students Inc., outside at Forum Plaza at 8:00am, Feb. 28,2000. CSUSM student Roger Frazier started off the event by singing the Black National Anthem, a song about liberty and learning from the past. Then ASI President Waleed Delawari and CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez welcomed students, faculty, staff and administrators in attendance. Gonzalez stated that CSUSM is a "campus of firsts" and hopefully the event would be a continual program.

Izabel's father. The officers were looking for a suspect who had no relation to Mr. Solis. The officers coerced Solis into letting them enter the house. After the officers entered the house, they proceeded to interrogate Solis and four of his young children, asking, "Are you hiding someone under the bed?" and "Is this man your father, or are you lying?" The children are 11, 6, 5, and 2 years of age. After confirming Solis's identity, the officers took Solis into custody to deport him on the grounds of Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRAIRA). Mr. Solis has a prior conviction and served 181 days in jail and 90 days probation for attempted arson—Solis had thrown a bottle of perfume (combustable material) on to the roof of a neighbors home, and had called the fire department himself. Solis was allowed to remain in the US after serving his sentence.The 1996 law, however, requires the deportation of immigrants with criminal convictions, even those who have already served their sentence and were allowed at the time of their release law, at least 13 federal district courts have ruled that INS! has greater flexibility in implementing the law's mandatory detention requirements than we had thought. As a result, INS will conduct a case-by-case review and exercise discretion on those individuals who completed their criminal sentences prior to Oct. 9, 1998, do not pose a danger to the community, and demonstrate a strong likelihood to appear for their hearing." According to Izabel Solis, it has been extremely difficult to acquire any information about her father, either from the INS, or from Mr. Solis's Immigration attorney, Thomas A. Mix. On February 4th, immigration officer Robles claimed Solis's bail would be $7,500, and later when a friend, Dan Leonard, tried to pay the bail, he was informed that there was no information about Mr. Solis. Dan was not able to find information until February 7th when an INS judge informed him and the Solis family that Mr. Solis could not be allowed bail. Even the attorney hired by the Solis family proved ineffective at answering questions. When Izabel's sister, Patricia, requested Mix to explain her father's case, he told her that she would not be able to understand. Since Mr. Solis is a residential alien, not a citizen of the US, he was not entitled to the same rights that protect US citizens. Upon his arrest, he was not entitled to an attorney and had to find and pay for an attorney on his own in order not to be deported without a trial. In addition to this, Mr. Solis claims that he and other INS detainees are under immense pressure to choose to be deported rather than go through the lengthy and expensive trial process. According to Ricardo Favela, vice president of MEChA at CSUSM, this problem facing the Solis family is not an isolated case. "It is only US policy towards Mexican and Latin American people. . This type of Gestapo tactic is policy towards Mexican and other Latin American people here in the U.S. It is a fact that Mexican and other indigenous-looking Latin American people are the only people in this nation who have a special police force specifically working to watch over us." their knowledge and prepared- and complete college.

Sonia Gutierrez & Trevor Knudsen PRIDE STAFF WRITERS Izabel Splis withdrew from her classes at CSUSM in order to support her family in a time of need. She is currently working three parttime jobs to pay for the family's rent, utilities, and legal costs, because her father has been incarcerated since February 3. Felipe Solis Villaruel is at Camp Barrett, a county jail where Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) houses non-citizens awaiting deportation hearings. Izabel was beginning her junior year at California State University San Marcos pursuing a BS in sociology with plans to continue college for her MA in forensic psychology. She had hoped to become a profiler for the police department after she completes her studies. Now Izabel, the eldest Solis child at 20 years, works at San Marcos Middle School in the Gear-Up program, and as a tutor at two North-County high schools, to provide for the family of eight. On February 3rd, five INS officers arrested Felipe Solis Villaruel, to stay in the country. According to information on the web site for the Law Offices of Manulkin, Glaser & Bennett, Immigration Attorneys: "Immigrants convicted of a crime defined by immigration law (not by criminal law) as an 'aggravated felony' are deportable. Under IIRAIRA, crimes as minor as shoplifting now constitute aggravated felonies. Furthermore, the new expanded definition is retroactive. Thus, legal immigrants today may be placed into deportation proceedings for minor offenses they committed 25 years ago. This is true even if the offense was not defined at the time as an aggravated felony (and therefore may not have been a deportable offense), and the immigrant at that time was punished in the criminal law system." INS has apparently made an amendment to the ruling in a press release dated July 12, 1999, allowing some of those who have served their sentence by October 9, 1998 to be eligible for release.

Dear Fellow CSUSM Students: I am writing in response to ASI Executive Vice President, Robert Radovich's letter where he called my ideas "ignorant". My opinion was correct and I will show you why. ASI is now saying that the Christmas bonuses that ASI approved with our money last semester is okay because no students received the bonuses, just staff members. This makes it okright? NO! It was still our elected ASI members who voted in favor of the bonuses. Furthermore, and perhaps more importantly, ASI voted for the bonuses behind closed doors with no student access permitted. J wonder why? What did ASI fear? After having to request them two different times and waiting over three months, I finally obtained a copy of the November 12, 1999 ASI Board of Director meeting minutes. The minutes show that the board went into closed session to vote on this issue. What is this! They lock out their fellow students, discuss an important issue and then open the doors and say, we vote yes on what we talked about while you couldn't come in? This is wrong and by NO definition FOR THE STUDENTS. In addition, I feel that Robert Radovich may not be the best ASI member to address this issue because according to the minutes, Radovich failed to attend this important meeting. The students needed Radovich's moneysaving "NO" vote but, he let us down. In 1998, ASI asked the students to raise their fees so that they could better promote campus life activities. I reluctantly voted yes on the raise as I thought it would help better CSUSM. I did not vote to raise my tuition so ASI could give our money away to certain staff members for Christmas bonuses. Heck! We all work very hard all year long and we don't expect Christmas bonuses. I say to Robert Susan S.

Some examples of "hidden disabilities" would be asthma, heart problems, back problems, and others.

Another option that should be thought about is having the University Police randomly verify disabled permits. This would effectively stop any problems of abuse. We share in Professor Von Son's hopes that this problem will be alleviated quickly. Sincerely, Rita Reynolds President The Victorious Club Stacey Helton Treasurer The Victorious Club �C I) e $ t i b t Tuesday, March 0 7,2000 5 OPINION MEChA Statement on Prop. 21 Proposition 21 is an initiative known as the "anti-gang violence" initiative which w ill be on the ballot on March 7. Many organizations throughout California, including churches, stand against this inhumane proposition due to its cruel nature. It will allow for 14 year old children to be tried as adults for certain crimes and w ill mix children as young as 14 years old into the adult penal system. These children will be Mexican, African, or any other brown youth that the police illegally label as "gang members". We know that white children will not be targeted as much by this law. If it goes into effect, Proposition 21 w ill strip many black and brown youth of their constitutional rights, including their right to privacy. The initiative will allow for wire-tapping of "gang members" phones. This initiative is another great idea from Pete Wilson. The following w ill put the Proposition into its historical context and what this law represents to the Chicano/Mexicano Movement. We must understand that Prop. 21 has nothing to do with crime and everything to do with social and population control. In the "Voter Information Guide" which contains the complete text of the initiative, the proposed law refers to the prospective increase in the population of people of color in California: "The problem o f youth and gang violence w ill, without active intervention, increase, because the juvenile population is projected to grow substantially by the next decade" (119). Legislation which incarcerates youth more easily and for longer periods of time are the State o f California's strategy in dealing with the increase of black and brown people. We must understand that the term "gang" and "gang member" are labels put on Mexican/Chicano youth as an attempt to divide our people, to criminalize and to dehumanize those of us who resist white North American culture. This label also allows the state to take away the constitutional rights of youth. The historical origin o f today's so called "gang members" are rooted in our culture of resistance to white supremacy. The first warriors who resisted U.S. colonialism such as Joaquin Murrieta and the "Pachucos" have always been outcast as bandits and gangsters by the media and the court system of California. Today, since we ate not taught our history, most of us are ignorant of these facts, and play the part of being "gang members" instead of being warriors for our people. We say we are warriors, not gangsters. We must understand that the legislation o f Proposition 21 is used to expand the Prison Indus- trial Complex. It goes hand in hand with Prop. 227, denying our youth the right to an adequate education, and Prop. 209, which limits the number of Chicano/Mexicano professionals who could defend la Raza, and Prop. 184 which makes it easier for the state of California to lock up as many Mexicans and Africans as possible. Prop. 21 is part of California's legacy of keeping brown and black people poor, uneducated, incarcerated and powerless. Just as Prop. 187 created hysteria about "illegal aliens", Prop. 21 will create more racism against Chicano/Mexicano youth and further divide our people. For example, the labeling of our brothers and sisters as "gang members" separates them from the rest of our gente and even the term itself connotes violence, drug-dealing, and criminal activity. Thus many of our own people will say that this is what these "gang members" deserve. This is an attempt by the state o f California to weaken or destroy the strong sense of carnalismo that is a part of our culture. Carnalismo is the idea that we are all brothers and sisters and we all have a responsibility to take care of each other. Thus Prop. 21 is also an attack on our culture. M.E.Ch.A. says Chale con Prop, 21, and an attack on one is an attack on all. Prop. 21 is also an attempt to blame the victim for his or her own problems. It should be well known by now that the C.I.A. and the U.S. Government are responsible for the majority of the drugs and guns in our communities. Finally, there is an important lesson to be learned from this proposition and other racist/genocidal legislative attacks that have been handed down to our people ever since we were conquered and colonized by the U.S. 152 years ago. Until we develop our organizations, there will always be Prop. 21's, Prop. 187's, Prop. 209's, and we will always be a powerless and exploited people; even i f we become the majority in our own land once again. We demand that 1. The full constitutional rights of youth to be protected and guaranteed. 2. The media and court system to stop labeling and documenting our youth as "gang members". 3. The C.I. A ./U.S. government to stop importing drugs and guns to our communities. 4. Full prosecutions of police who participate in conspiracy, drug dealing, murder, and promotion of barrio violence. We ask that Mexican/Chicano youth stop calling themselves "gang members", and to take on the responsibility of defending their gente. D ear E ditors: D ear E ditors: I was so pleased to read Mike Sanella's letter in the Feb. 21 issue of The Pride. It is great that students are speaking out about their experiences with student government here at CSUSM. The ICC meeting on Feb. 11 was indeed a very frustrating experience. The rules guiding the ICC budget ARE EXTREMELY vague and unclear. It is a pity that our student government maintains such a bureaucratic mess. At our last BOD (ASI) meeting, we discussed the possibilities o f trying to simplify/clarify the mess. I sincerely hope that there will be action behind those words. Student clubs should not have to waste time and energy trying to fight the system. I, too, was very shocked that HUNDREDS o f dollars could be spent on flyers that will be trashed, while not a single penny could be spent on T-shirts (for Student Parent Alliance club events) that were to be used over and over. A s for the experiences I've had with our student government, I'd have to say that I probably share a lot in the same feelings of frustration as Mike. That is what motivated me to speak out and write this letter. Our ASI is a bureacracy...a BUSINESS, as it is often said, and it seems that most decisions and policies are made with business sense in mind...not student needs. Students can't always come first in a business and that is what causes our ASI to be so lacking. I know that there are only a couple months left in this semester, but I really feel that changes can be made. I got into ASI and on to the BOD as the Post-Bacc. Representative. I have been in office for about a month now. The reason I got into ASI was because I was not happy with how our government was serving us. The office was vacant and so I put in my application. There is room on the board for others who want to try to change how things are done. A s o f our last BOD meeting, there were at least 2 positions open. Please come and get an application from the ASI office and start changing things for the better. If being on the BOD is not your thing, then at least come to our meetings and tell us i f we are doing things right, wrong, or whatever. Our next meeting is Friday, March 10 and there will be items on the agenda that affect ICC (inter club council). ASI is YOUR government. Our budget is over 1,000,000 dollars!!! If you don't like something, come and tell us. Leave notes in our boxes at the ASI office. Email us. Write it up and send it to the Pride so your voice can be heard! Tell us how you want that million bucks spent.

The University Student Union facility is being developed for the benefit of students, faculty, stajff and alumni to promote and assist the educational program of the In fall 1999, the University Student Union Advisory Board is in the process of designing ^ O i l - - . Phase One of the Union facility in conjunction with the Clarke Field House. The Phase One facility will be small but will provide the first conference facilities on campus and will be located adjacent to the first exercise and athletic facilities on campus. Several subcommittees of the University Student Union Advisory Board are currently seeking additional student members. If you would like more information about the Finance, Facilities, Programming and Relations, or Personnel Committees, please contact the chair of the Personnel Committee, Kara Kornher, at 750-4905 or kkomher@maiihostl xsusm.edu. I am concerned about the shabby disrespect that the ASI and the ICC board have for the Brown Act. To date, they have violated it left and right. The ASI board, on November 12, 1999, violated it by going into closed session without 24 hour written notice prior to the session. Under the Brown Act, what they discussed is not even one of the items of an agenda that is permitted to be discussed in closed session. Both of these offenses are only misdemeanors, but do we want lawbreakers to govern us? What other laws are they breaking? I do not know what the rest o f my fellow students feel, but I do not want criminals representing me on the student government. We need to elect some new and honest blood to ASI. How many of you are aware that the ICC chair is only an appointed official? In my opinion, this needs to be raised to the level o f an elected official, rather than being a puppet o f ASI. If more students were actively interested in the actions o f the ASI, change would come about more quickly in the interests of the students, rather than the ASI. If you don't feel comfortable going to the meetings, write to the paper and let your voice be heard! Don't forget that those ASI elections for next year will be held in April. This is a concrete way to let your voice be heard. Thank you for your time and patience, Rita Reynolds FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 FOR COLLEGE.

C olonialism Mexican and Latin American people's human rights are violated on a daily basis. 152 years and two days after the U.S. forced Mexico to sign away almost half of her land, her gold, her resources, and her people, the U.S. continues to violate Mexican people's human rights. On the night of February 4th, Felipe Solis respectfully allowed five Border Gestapo agents to enter his home. The agents were looking for a man by the name of "Rodriguez", an alleged "illegal" resident. Thinking all Mexicans look alike and that all Mexicans lie, the Border Pigs began to accuse CSUSM student Izabel Solis' father of being this man. These pigs even accused the children in the home of lying about their own father's identity. The Border Gestapo then kidnapped Izabel's father, and I say kidnapped because he was taken against his will, with no warrant for his arrest. Although he is a legal resident, he is considered "deportable" due to a past conviction. Thus, he and his family are now being punished for a crime for which-Felipe had already served time. Can anyone tell me if these incidents happen in a white neighborhood? By Joni Miller As many of you may know, February was Black History Month. Our campus, as well as many other organizations and institutions celebrated the contributions African-Americans have made to the world through art, music, and literature. One such event was scheduled to take place at the "101 Artists Colony" in Encinitas on Saturday, February 19. The event, a superb night of music, poetry and fellowship, and including wonderful local talent, among them CSU San Marcos Professor Sharon Elise, was abruptly cancelled the night before it was to take place. On Friday, February 18th, an article appeared in the "Preview" section of the North County Slime (oops) Times. It hailed the event as a celebration of Black History Month. The article also included interviews with local artists Jihmye Collins, Professor Elise, and Artist's Colony board member Robert Walker. The last paragraph of the article read: "This month celebrates Black History, and we are dedicating the event on Saturday to Mumia Abu-Jamal, the ex-Black Panther on death row for the 1982 slaying of a white Philadelphia police officer." (Mumia is a black man who many feel has been unjustly accused, tried, and sentenced to It was also reported a few weeks die for a crime he did not commit). ago in Fallbrook that a 17 year old MexAs soon as this news hit the street, three ican youth, labeled as a "gang member," Encinitas City Council members and the San was beaten in front of witnesses by a Diego County Sheriffs department contacted Fallbrook Sheriff (a supposed grown the Downtown Encinitas Main Street Associaman).

It should also be noted that between 1998-1999, in a period of 15 months, five males have been shot and killed by police and sheriffs throughout towns and cities in North County. Four of these males were Mexican and one was Natiye American. Yet these killings have been swept under the rug. The recent uncovering of the LAPD officers involved in drug-dealing, conspiracy, false incriminations, and frame-ups only serve to affirm African-American and Mexican people's mistrust of police in our communities. Instead of feeling protected by the law, these cases give evidence to the rumors in our communities about the role of police in keeping our people drugged-up, divided and living in fear of the law. It should be clear that these incidents are not isolated. Much like the murders, beatings and kidnappings, these criminal and terrorist acts being carried out by the state are only public policy towards Africans, Mexicans, Latinos, and Asians. The only purpose of the police is to maintain the inequality between the rich and the poor, and police will do all that is necessary (or what they are told to do) to make sure that we stay in our places as poor, exploited and powerless people. This is the reason why the police and the FBI militarily revised that directly influence Student Life and Academics. The CSUSM student body, not just the ASI should determine the need and validity of CSUSM policies before being submitted to President Gonzalez and his administrative staff for approval. In addition, the same open forum format regarding new university policies should be provided for all CSUSM Faculty and staff. The way CSUSM administrators are running this university needs to change. However, it is up to us, the students, to actively speak out to these CSUSM administrators who consistently attempt to create policies that are not beneficial to the academic success and personal growth of those who pay good money to attend California State University, San Marcos. It is very unfortunate to witness a large group of CSUSM students taking the time to debate with a street preacher. Yet, no one but myself can attend an ASI open student forum occurring at the same time to discuss concerns related to unfair university policies involving computer use, parking services, etc. It is no wonder the CSUSM administration is less concerned with current student life issues and more concerned with the physical development of campus buildings and the recruitment o f future students. Shame on you, CSUSM students, for not taking enough initiative to actively speak out more on issues that have a direct negative impact on our academic and personal experiences at this university. Sincerely, Eddie Goan attacked the Black Power and Chicano Power movements. These movements were aimed at eliminating the gap between the rich and the poor, which is a direct threat to the rich. Thus, it should be clear that the brutality, drug-dealing, kidnappings, frame-ups and promotion of gang-violence on the part of the police and I.N.S. is only policy towards Mexicans, Latinos, and African-Americans, and are not isolated incidents. On top of all this, racist laws and legislation legalize and institutionalize these inhumane policies. The case of Izabel's father is a result of stricter immigration laws, which only allows for the Border Gestapo to enter into people's homes and kidnap family members with no justified reason at all. Also, 3-Strikes and Prop. 21, which will be on your ballot this week, allow for the state to fill California's prisons with black and brown people. The state of California has reinstated slavery through the 13th amendment by allowing for the privatization of California's prisons. This literally means that private businesses and corporations can literally buy or build prisons, which will be used as a source of cheap labor and massive profits. This is California's response to the projected increase of people of color. Lock them up and throw away the key. is carried out in our public schools and universities and is the teaching of individualistic and capitalistic ethics and values. These principles teach us to cafe more about our individual selves and our bank accounts than our people, our neighbors, our brothers, and sisters here and across the world. They teach us how to fit in this corrupt and rotten society instead of teaching us how to transform it. Education should be more than job skills. A true education will teach people how to take control of their own lives and how to create their own destiny (Keep in mind, Manifest Destiny was once an idea in some white supremacist's head). Colonialism has stolen our people's dreams of creating a just and equal society and has told us to get-in where wefit-in.A true education will teach us how to have respect for our people and ourselves. A true education will instill a sense of dignity in our people so we know when to say, "enough is enough." A true education will allow us to figure out how to end poverty, how to end police brutality, and will teach us to respect each other as human beings. A true education will take away all of our fears of standing up for what is right, because if you are afraid of dying, then you are afraid of living. A true education will liberate us once and for all. Despite all that I have mentioned, there still remains the worst crime that Ricardo Favela probably affects us most and is carried MEChA Vice-President out on a daily basis as well. This crime Dear fellow CSUSM students: chapter, and where the member intends to deprive the public of information to which the member knows or has reason to know the public is entitled under this chapter, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

An average of 90 students and faculty ride in the regular gasoline powered, full-sized shuttle van each day, and Parking Services is investigating the practicality ofpurchasing an eight-passenger electric cart to supplement the wheelchair accessible van. Fuel costs for Parking Services' vehicles amount to over $1,000 each month, and the decrease in operating costs for the electric cart are expected to offset its $10,000 price tag. Afinaldecision on the purchase of the Club Car cart won't be made "for quite some time," according to Dora Knoblock, Director ofParking Services.

Addi- The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community I Amanda Bergara PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM has established itself as the hub for nationwide research on Latino populations. The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) is a research facility established at CSUSM in August 1999. Currently, the NLRC is conducting a program evaluation for the Logan Heights Community Health Center, evaluating its Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Program. The NLRC's main purposes are to increase awareness of what are both known and unknown about Latino populations in the U.S., and to help increase the training and competence of researchers working within these fields. One of the NLRC's projects is the piloting of a Youth Research Institute, which studies the precise issues and barriers preventing students from completing high school. An intervention program will be implemented for high school students at risk of dropping out. Initially, this research will focus on Latino youth, and later expand to other minority and non-minority groups. The NLRC is also developing a proposal to conduct a national study on the health and well being of Latino populations. The NLRC's mission is "to promote valid and reliable data fHP | T™ £ | New Parking Cart tionally, their duties have changed from patrolling for "enforcement" to patrolling for "compliance." "We're not out to give citations," said Cindi Peters, Parking Services Field Supervisor. All written material referring to Parking Services will reflect these changes by late summer. The change towards becomregarding Latinos. Data collection, translation [services] and our other services increase our understanding of this numerically significant population," stated Soriano. The NLRC also provides services for the research community such as needs-assessment, surveys, web page creation for conferences, technical assistance, data analysis, and program evaluations. The NLRC benefits CSUSM students and faculty specifically by providing internships, service learning opportunities, research training programs, and jobs. Students can either work as research and program assistants or propose their own research efforts supervised by NLRC staff. Both students and faculty can obtain referrals from the NLRC for assistance in conducting their own research. Faculty may obtain assistance in securing funding for their research if it has relevance to Latino populations, as well as head research projects for the NLRC. Soriano said that a CSUSM faculty member is currently heading a research effort on Hispanics and mental health. NLRC research activities span the country, with current projects in New Haven, Conn., Miami, Fla. and Washington DC with local projects that include program evaluations of communitybased agencies like the teenage pregnancy prevention program in Logan Heights. The NLRC is located offcampus at 1 Civic Center Drive, Suite 150, San Marcos. For further information, contact the NLRC at (760) 750-3500 or nlrc@csusm.edu.

MIKE SPANGLER/rffis PRIDE ing a more approachable campus entity began last summer when the department changed from wearing stark uniforms to light blue polo shirts. Last semester's opening of the Parking/Services Information Booth also reflects a dedication to customer service. The information booth is often the first person-toperson contact visitors make with the university, and the booth is frequently stocked with maps and fliers on events. The booth does not handle money or have change, but Parking Services Representatives are there to explain the most efficient and compliant parking options available to visitors, students, and faculty/staff, said Peters. P residential Primary ally fair and civil. McCain said on Thursday that he was "no longer an active candidate for [his] party's nomination for president," but he would not endorse Bush as the Republican party nominee. The campaign between Bush and McCain was often heated. McCain had called for a clean campaign after advertisements were run in New York that alleged McCain opposed funds for breast cancer research. McCain also wanted Bush to endorse campaign finance reform, but Bush would not. Gore wants to ban "soft money" from the campaign and has challenged Bush to do the same. Gore wants them both to refuse any "soft money" and commit to two debates a week. Bush has not accepted the challenge to refuse "soft money", and so both candidates continue to accept excess money.

Results of the May 7 election showed A1 Gore sweeping all of the states for his party's nomination. George W. Bush took nine out of the 13 states voting, and McCain won four New England states.

Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER Although the presidential primary was the main attraction, California's propositions generated most of the controversies after Tuesday's primary election. Of the propositions on the ballot, Prop 21, which strengthened California juvenile justice statutes, and Prop 22, which prohibits gay majriages in the state, were of particular concern on campus. Prop 21 was strongly opposed by the CSUSM MEChA chapter, while the gay and lesbian club, the Pride Alliance, opposed Prop 22 Ricardo Favela, Vice President of MEChA, stated, "The passage of 21 was expected." When asked why the group opposed a bill that stiffens penalties for juvenile offenders, Favela stated, "There is absolutely no justification to increase penalties for only black and brown youth, especially after the crime rate has dropped for the seventh year in a row." The other controversial proposition, Prop 22, was also passed by a large margin. Professor Don Barrett, who on Monday passed out flyers urging students to vote "No on Knight", was not surprised by Prop 22 passing. Barrett stated, "The election overall was depressing. The strong passage of 22 was depressing since it was a pointless measure." Although Professor Barrett was opposed to Prop 22, he stated, "Gay marriages may not be in our best interests, but we should have the rights and privileges of married couples." Mike Sanella of the CSUSM College Republicans was pleased Sarah Smith overall by the elections. He said that by passing Propositions 21 PRIDE STAFF WRITER and 22, it proves that "California Imagine voting in your is in a middle point that can go in ajamas a any direction."

Instead, Arizona Democrats could register to vote online early or at the polls on Election Day. Early voting started on March 7 at 12:01am and ended on March 10 at 11:59pm. Online voters must enter their personal identification number and a few questions to verify their identity before being able to vote. Once they enter the voting portion, they just point and click on the candidate's name they want to vote for, or "yes" or "no" on propositions. When they are done voting they can print out an election certificate to commemorate the historic moment of voting online. The Voting Integrity Project based in Virginia filed a lawsuit against Arizona's online voting. The suit cited that voting online would "harm voting rights of the poor and minorities who have less computer access than wealthier whites." A judge refused to stop the Arizona online portion of the primary, and the Project plans to challenge the results of the Arizona election. will also give Americans who are overseas, or simply out of town on Election Day, the opportunity to vote without having to request an absentee ballot.

When Ken Nwadakie called up his high school rival, Marcus Chandler to find out where he planned to continue his running, Nwadakie was surprised to hear Chandler's answer, "California State University, San Marcos." Initially Nwadakie was uninterested in attending such a new and small campus, like CSUSM. Instead he had gained interest in USC, UCLA and Azusa Pacific, campuses with distinguished track andfieldprograms. However Nwadakie considered that if Marcus Chandler, a California State High Eighteen-year-old Ken's road to CSUSM School Mile champion, was attending was long and tenuous.

Is it fake? Is it a sport? Is it entertainment?" These questions can be asked of Beyond the Mat (Lions Gate Films), a movie that capitalizes on professional wrestling's growing appeal. Yes, I said appeal. I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I enjoyed the f ilm. No, I am not a fan of professional wrestling. In the opening sequence, the f ilm's writer, director, and narrator, Barry Blaustein (co-writer of The Nutty Professor and Coming to America), asks these four questions that drive the film through its 1-hour 43-minutes, ultimately a behind-the-scenes look into the personal and professional lives of several wrestlers. Shot over three years as a doc- % \)t $ r t b e umentary, Beyond the Mat reveals the wrestler's lives as defined by opposing forces. They are loving fathers and masochistic showmen; idolized role models and crack addicts; virile warriors and broken-down old men. scalp. Foley is shown the video of his children's cries, leading him t o speak of retirement. I am left with no question about the sincerity of the footage, the reactions of Foley's children, and the reactions of Foley himself. At a low point in the movie, one segment shows melodramatic, overacting promoter Roland Alexander guiding struggling wrestlerwannabes (Mike Modest and Tony Jones) towards the big time of the WWF (World Wrestling. Federation). Alexander's desire to see his face on screen obviously motivates him to sob crocodile tears into the camera, saying, "These guys deserve a chance." Beyond the Mat is an immensely entertaining documentary for its glimpses of reality. It actually exposes the looming doubt that hangs over many of the details that stem from professional wrestling's scripted antics. This f ilm also rewards those who don't wait for the video to come out. The movie-going audience's participation is almost guaranteed, as die-hard fans alternately "pop" (wrestling jargon for an audience's explosive reaction) and heckle at the screen whenever a particularly motivating monologue or stunt is performed. There are some slowmoving parts, like when Jake "The Snake" reunites with his daughter, but on a 5-point scale I rate it a solid 4. Fortunately, the f ilm explores more believable territory when it follows the lives of Mick Foley, a.k.a. "Mankind," a.k.a "Cactus Jack," and his family. The (arguably) most clever and heartwrenching footage comes just over an hour into the movie when scenes of Foley being pummeled by "The Rock" are mixed with Rated R for violence and scenes of Foley's wife (Collette), strong language. and two children (both under the age of 5) cringing, crying, and eventually fleeing the arena.

Drown Mona ing Sarah Smith PRIDE STAFF WRITER White trash, inane one-liners, and stupid people entwine the dull plot ofDrowning Mona. This movie is rated PG-13 for some bad language, a small amount of sex, and unbelievable violence^ The movie opens with the drowning of Mona (played by Bette Midler) and leaves the viewer with nothing to look forward to. The chase to find the murderer begins; and of course the plot isn't simple, otherwise the viewer would be lucky enough to have the movie end in 20 minutes. The tangled plot contains flashbacks, too many Yugos, and irritating sub plots, one that exposes the mental neurosis of Rona (played by Jamie Lee Curtis). Casey Affleck (Ben Affleck's little brother) is one of the main stars of the movie, and one of the more stupid characters. His annoying baby voice made me cringe throughout the entire movie, and when off-screen, I dreaded the moment right when he came back on. Casey Affleck has also played in 200 Cigarettes, Chasing Amy and Good Will Hunting, among others. He will also be seen in Committed, a film scheduled for release later this year. The large well-known cast is die only reason this movie has any potential for success. Danny DeVito and Neve Campbell join Curtis, Affleck and Midler in a troupe with bad southern accents. This is thefirstproduced screenplay that Peter L. Steinfeld has written and hopefully his last. Director Nick Gomez has produced three other movies, none of which were well known and probably for good reason. Hopefully this movie will drown out of my memory, but this is unlikely since myfianceeloved it and collected several "I love my Yugo" stickers after the show.

Prop 1 A: Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. It's none of California's business. Indian gaming is a complicated issue. It brings both prosperity and problems to Native American communities. Prop 1A has one fatalflawthough. Whether you think that Indian gaming is good or bad, whether you're a capitalistic extremist who believes that the poor and oppressed are that way because they are lazy or you're an ideological communist who wants fair distribution of capital, IT'S NONE OF CALIFORNIA'S BUSINESS. Dictating what Native Americans can do and what they must do on their own land (or at least the scraps of land the government has given back to them) is continuing the rape of the Native American people. Even if it is within the law, it is no excuse. Much ofthe mountain of injustices European Americans has dumped on Native Americans was done within the law. We have already slaughtered them, taken their homeland, destroyed much of their culture, and attempted to strip them of their dignity. The VERY least that the non-Native Americans can do is to respect the remaining Native Americans and their dignity by acknowledgeing their autonomy on their own land. A no vote on 1A would have hurt the Native Americans, but anyone who walked away from the ballot box after voting yes feeling that they had done a good deed are fooling themselves and were tricked into supporting the ongoing exploitation. Onefinalthought to my brother and sister European Americans: since the Native Americans are 'Native', that makes u s'Alien' Americans. It's something to keep in mind when judging other more recent aliens. -Trevor Knudsen FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: $20,000 CASH BONUS PLUS $50,000 ** t til* § 1 f i What else would yoaexpect from the world's toughest graduate school-walls ?

BE ALL YOII CAN B E vwww.goarmy.com �Dear Editors: I had to write regarding the recent remarks made by ASI Vice President Robert Radovich. I am really not sure where he gets off calling anyone ignorant with the ASI's BLATANT disregard for the governing rules. Last year, case in point, when I asked a member, "why did you give Christmas bonuses?" he replied that "it's a job, everyone gets a Christmas bonus." I am wondering in which fairy tale THAT exists! Let me point out a few things that may interest anyone who may care: -In the winter session, ASI fees are $45 or roughly 14% of the total fees for taking one class. -For Spring 2000, you paid $35 in "recreation fees"(I mean, aren't video games recreation, why is ASI paying for that??), $50 in ASI fees, and another $20 in student union fees...contrast that to local community colleges where paying for the "ASI savings" only costs you $10-20 (voluntarily) per semester and you get discounts on things you USE, like the BOOKSTORE (5-10% in fact). Student Representation at these colleges is $1 (Mesa) -How many people really benefit from free BBQ lunches?? Personally, I'd rather have some of my money back and go to the Dome as I don't eat hot dogs. -How many people would rather have a new video game over having some of these fees back? I don't have time to play games.. -I work so I can't take kickboxing or yoga or attend these concerts, other things I don't use... I don't want to criticize those students who serve on the ASI who really do care, but let's not lose sight of the fact WE ALL ARE FORCED to pay the fees while FEW reap the benefits.. Honestly, if you really want to make an impact, drop some of your fees and let people buy ASI stickers for discounts if they WANT them, then you'll be forced to work with a REAL budget rather than 1 million dollars to use as you see fit. "WE ARE SAVING YOU MONEY" is not what is happening for most students, it's "WE ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AND BLOWING IT." - Stephanie Dexter A United Germany?

And since m arriage is only for b reeding, I guess that leaves out the whole idea that two people are u nited as one in the eyes of God, etc. The advertising campaign for Prop 22 set a new standard of contemptibility. To have a teacher say she wants to send a message to her students that m arriage is only between a man and woman is asinine. A teacher's r esponsibility is to teach acceptance and to celebrate d ifferences, not to segregate and dehumanize c ertain members of the population. If you were a student in that t eacher's class and she told you homosexuality is wrong and your mother or uncle was gay, how would you feel? If you voted yes on Proposition 22 you are not protecting the sacred i nstitution of m arriage. All you are proving is t hat you are a bigot. Jesus loves everyone. That means gay people, too. - Tyson Newman I remember reading an article The writer goes on to say, Dear Editors: "Today, since we are not taught our on General Colin Powell, the man history, most of us are ignorant of I most admire, and the NAACP I want to extend my best wishes to Mike Sanella Who is really prejudiced? these facts, and play the part of asked him why he hadn't done more for sticking up for the students of CSUSM.

Carolina Cardenas is the Director of ACCESS, the academic program which oversees GEAR UP, SASOP & Upward Bound. In the March 13, 2000 issue of The Pride, the edi tors would like to clarify information in Pride Staff Writer Amanda Bergara's article "The National Latino Research Center Benefits CSUSM Students, Faculty and Community". Concerning thefirstsentence ofthe article, the NLRC can only be considered "a major institution concerned with disseminating research throughout the country,'* according to Dr. Soriano, i.e. the NLRC could be considered a "hub" for providing information regarding nationwide research on Latino populations, but not for actual "nationwide research." In the first sentence of the second paragraph, the NLRC is piloting the Youth Research Center, and one of its projects is to study "the precise issues and barriers preventing studentsfromcompleting high school," but is not the Youth Research Center's sole purpose. ; Thomas Jefferson School of Law A Qreat Legal Education... and sSo Miuch We provide More We care about our tudents and t shows. an outstanding legal education in a supportive, collegial atmosphere with innovative academic programs.

"Gas prices have affected my driving habits," says Accounting majorAmy Joyce Hernandez, a Junior. "I now have to think before I go anywhere. I try to stay in town and get everything done in one trip... I'm hot going back ... that's two dollars!" Amy explains. "It cost me $34 to get gas and a car wash. I plan onflyingto Vegas now for Spring Break instead of driving. It's cheaper for me to fly," says Kurt Bussche, a Junior Computer Science major. Kurt was one of many students to alter or scale down their plans for Spring Break as students looked for ways to cope with rising gas prices. Student Kevin Lavin settled for a Friday of margaritas in an Old Town restaurant instead of his usual Spring Break vacation in Puerto Nuevo, Mexico because of gas prices. Kevin explains, "I live in Nothing Gets in the Way of Orange County and commute [to Spring Break? CSUSM] for work and school. No way could I have gone.

Eric Mahan who has only managed the station for three months, expresses some frustration that their customers think they have a lot of control over gas prices, "Our mark-up is only $.05 to $. 10 per gallon of gas." Mahan is concerned that efforts intended to send a message to the big corporations, like "Gas Out" and not buying gas on Fridays, will hurt the smaller stations, like the one he manages, that serve smaller local markets. He stresses^"On top of what our suppliers charge us, we prices at the pump right now than have to pay 37.8 cents per gallon in OPEC's price per barrel. state and federal taxes. That's added to the cost of gas to the customer. Gas and Learn Then they pay .075 cents in sales Higher gas prices may have taxes on top of that. It's a tax on a tax."

Their prices start at $1.79 more closely. High gas prices have affected for Unleaded and go to $2.03 for more than Amy's habits, it h&s her Premium.

She spent her Spring for the higher gas prices everyone Break doing research, specifically pays at the pump right now. He looking for a correlation between gas prices and auto purchasing decisions. HTM major Kenneth Ooi, a Senior, says, "We have made ourselves so dependent on gas. However much they raise the prices, we'll pay it. I 'm paying for my gas habit by thinking twice about where I go, it has forced me to carpool, and I give up luxuries because I'm spending all my money on gas." Ken Ooi explains how he copes, "I shop around for the lowest prices and by at the closest station. The Arco by Sycamore has it for $1.73." Junior Carissa Morales, a History major says gas prices benefited her scholastically during Spring Break, "I'm a commuter. Ten bucks in my tank Saturday, ten more on Sunday.

A style she describes as a "general arrangement of collaboration and partnership between students and myself that we create in a learning space together" also helped students value one another's input and develop relationships with one another. Professor Crowdes says that each teacher has his or her own unique Style that works in the classroom. She credits the Sociology and Social Sciences Departments with what she describes as "a very supportive faculty and administration that are an important blessing for me." "Support counts a lot for me," says Professor Crowdes, "It makes me less scared to try stuff." She says this award has encouraged her to use her same techniques in the classroom and to include E. more student participation to make her teaching even better. Professor Crowdes stated, "I really love and appreciate students who did this. I'm really there for them." The President's award recognizes and rewards faculty members who "introduce new and innovative techniques, methodologies, exercises, methods of delivery or use of technology in teaching, that engage students and produce a significant impact on their ability to learn and retain knowledge." All current faculty are eligible and only currently enrolled students are eligible to nominate faculty members. Students submit a letter of nomination that discusses the innovation in teaching (i.e. What was new or different about the teaching, methodology, techniques, etc.?) and how the innovation helped the student learn and retain the lesson. A nomination committee (consisting of two current students from ASI, one faculty member chosen by the Academic Senate, and an individual appointed by the President) reviews the nominations. The nomination committee will choose at least two candidates and give their recommendations to the President, who will make thefinalselection. The deadline for students to turn in their nominations i s set for April 17,2000, and the award announcement is set for May 19,2000, during commencement.

Chavez is most commonly remembered for leadingihe battle for better working conditions for migrant farm workers. Chavez and Dolores Huerta founded the first successful farm workers union in U.S. history, the United Farm Workers Union (UFW). His leadership and organizing accomplishments reach far beyond this. Chavez was born March 31, 1927 on a small farm, homesteaded by his grandfather in the 1880s, near :Yuma, Arizona. The family lost their •land during the Depression years and as a result, Chavez began work as a migrant farm worker at the age of ten. He eventually left school after the eighth grade to help support his family. Chavez lived with thousands of displaced families, migrating throughout the southwestern workers.

When he learns of his brother Po's murder (played by Jon Kit Lee), it is only a matter of time before he reaches the coastlfne of America. The film also stars DMX (Silk), Russel Wong (Kai Sing), Isaiah Washington (Mac), and Aaliyah (Trish O'day). Romeo Must Die, directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, is entirely structured around an exchange of revenge, deception and betrayal.

( DeeCtna CJ Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER At the Thursday, March 9,2000 premiere of the Meeting Grace concert house in Golden Hills, forty fans enjoyed coffee and homemade desserts while they listened to the music of Dead Rock West, Berkley Hart (last year's winner of the New Folk Songwriter Competition in Texas), and Gregory Page. Softly lit candles scattered throughout the room provided ample light. Chairs gently set on the woodenfloorsprovided a perfect view to the corner of the room that was set aside as the stage. Atfirsttensionfilledthe room because, for many, a concert in someone's home was a new experience. Lizzie Wann, creator of Meeting Grace and owner of the home, warmly welcomed the guests. Laughter f rom the audience was common throughout the evening; Angelou states that her "poetry is actually touching people and making a difference." She told a touching story about her son having surgery after going into organ failure. Angelou received a call from her son after visiting him in the hospital. He asked her to read "Recovery," which Angelou often read to her son when he was a child, and that she in turn read for the audience. When she finished reading it to her son over the phone, he told her she "forgot a verse," so they recited the poem together. When they f inished, her son thanked her because he had j ust had 190 stitches taken out as they recited the poem together. Angelou 'ended the evening with a poem about women being phenomenal. Again she made the audience laugh as she gave a short rant on how wonderful women are, "not to discount that men are phenomenal, but you men have to write your own poem." Angelou gave a dignified bow as she left the stage and carefully walked off the steps of the stage. The audience gave her a standing ovation and an audience member said, "I wish this was a concert so she would come back for an encore." On the Meeting Grace T-shirts, Lizzie Wann quotes Woodie Guthrie, an infamous folk singer, to try and explain the reason for house concerts. Guthrie says, "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think you've not any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves... are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow." Playing a mix of covers and his own works, Gregory Page easily slipped into the storyteller role as each song unfolded a different part of his musical genius. With songs like, Jimmy Page's "Going to California," the crowd swayed in time with the guitar. "Buffalo Hunters," sang with Frank Drennen, was upbeat but the words stabbed at the heart of our nation's darker history. Page's soft, soulful voice filled the room with passionate longing—I was mesmerized by its beauty, and yet imperfection as well. Afterwards, sipping coffefe and buying Music for Mortals, the new Page cd, I asked him where he gets his ideas. He said that they don't come often enough but justfrom"ya know" as he shrugged with the humility of a true artist. As other writers before me have said, this is one star destined to light up the sky with his brilliance. Berkley Hart's songs were primarily country, but their use of a Djembe (African) drum was beautiful and hit right into my heart. Their final song came with fair warning to "grab tissues now!" "Barrel of Rain" is the most beautiful melody about sorrow and despair of true, everlasting love. It touched all of us as we silently stared in anguish as they played on. At the beginning of the night, the crowd was able to relax and enjoy the harmonization of Dead Rock West. Their highlight was a song titled "Lust, Flesh and Pride/' in the style of Indigo Girls. Wasserman sang the lead in a strong but timid voice. Themes of love, sex, and all the metaphors in between provided this song with quite a bit of heart. Dead Rock West are poignant, American folks and their music follows suit. Somehow every slight technical mistake made the entire show down to earth. Lights and smoke and electric everything has become so commonplace that to be able to sit down with a small crowd and just relax to some quiet acoustic music refreshed my spirit. In between songs, the banter between musicians was light and easy going butfilledwith enough dry humor that the crowd roared with laughter. Another fan, David Randle stated, "I am going to be telling everyone I know about your wonderful venue. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality and generous spirit to do all of this for the music community." Meeting Grace will continually run concerts every six weeks. Eve Selis performs next on April 27th. Tickets are ten dollars and include coffee and dessert. If great music in a relaxing atmosphere is your idea of a great night, you can contact Lizzie Wann for tickets.

We bitch therefore we are! We endure 78 east from San Marcos Blvd to Nordhal, we have suffered through the 15 south connector and the 78, we are chastened by the 15 north and the 78 west connector in the mornings, tormented by the "triangle", browbeaten on the way to the airport during any holiday, assaulted by poor parking spaces everywhere but specifically at CSUSM, incensed by the Dome food, outraged by textbook prices, flabbergasted by long lines, shocked and appalled with bad haircuts, enraged by dirty dishes in the sink, disgruntled with unresponsive lovers, bewildered by lack of monetary stability, hateful of Republicans and Democrats, shell-shocked about gas prices, pissed off about promptness of food and beverage delivery at eating establishments. We bitch about how much we bitch, how slow the Internet is moving, about apathetic students, apathetic professors, apathetic administrators, walking up stairs, library services, proposition you name it! I am a Jedi knight of bitching, I have trained diligently, spent hours upon hours practicing with one of the most prolific bitchers known to man; my mother. I am primed, tuned and ready to bitch. So when I read fellow bitchers' comments about the Cashiers Office I came to the stark realization; bitchers of today are bitching just to bitch. My fellow bitcher, do you think Paula Cameron, Tanya Calienta, Teressa Romero and Alma McFarland have anything to do with the price of parking pennits, YOUR late fee or any other frivolous bitch? These individuals are respectful, efficient, and friendly, considering they deal with you on a daily basis. I wonder how much bitching you or your bitching cohort would do if you worked on this campus and had to deal with asinine UNINFORMED bitchers like yourself? So as you BITCH about the Cashiers office ask yourself these questions: are you involved with voting in all arenas: School, Local, State, Federal? Also ask yourself: what are you doing to change things? Or are you running your mouth and needlessly wasting air just to hear yourself bitch? My suggestion to anyone who has any great ideas how to run a department at CSUSM, go work or intern there and see if your attitude doesn't change. Some things suck in life: traffic, lovers, gas prices etc... These things can be dealt with on a more positive note. Plus I am sick of hearing you bitch and I am sick of tolerating my own bitching because no one wants to hear it. OPINION a rose/By any other name would smell as the rules) . What good would that be?

Just a few hundred years ago, the author, her books, and the audience all would have been burned for even considering her ideas. Although things have changed considerably, she said, our society is still modeled on a "dominator model," one in which everything is based on "superiority or inferiority, controlling or being controlled/' Dr. Eisler, a noted author, speaker, and cultural historian, presented "Our Story: The World From a Partnership Perspective" at CSUSM on Thursday* March 23 as part of Women's Herstory Month. The author of Sacred Pleasures and The Chalice and the Blade shared observations based on three decades of "reexamining our past, our present, and the possibility for our future." We dismiss earlier, equitable societies as primitive, she said, and insist on applying the dominator model to everything else. "Ifit wasn't patriarchy it must be matriarchy," she said. "Aren't these just two sides of the same dominator model?" .

Eisler founded the Center for Partnership Studies (CPS) to promote "a way of life based on harmony with nature, nonviolence, and gender, racial, and economic equity," according to the CPS web site, at www.partnershipwav.org. The Partnership Center supports a new model for education based on the partnership model, one that teaches about "caring for life, caring for self, caring for others, caring for Mother Earth," Eisler said.

Orfalea voiced his desire to donate a child care center to California State University San Marcos in visits with campus dignitaries and reporters. "That's my cause," Orfalea stated, and also noted that he has donated child care centers to other colleges and universities, Orfalea likes to think that it was his ability to notice what others overlooked, or not bothered to understand, that has given him the edge in business. Orfalea has built a small student-service copy center into a chain of more than one thousand stores located around the world. After years of heading Kinko's, Paul Orfalea says he is ready to hang up his CEO hat, and share his hard won success with others.

Some teach at as many as four institutions in a single week. They are sometimes called "freewayflyers"because they spend so much time traveling between jobs. Many have no contract, no benefits, no security, and, some say, no respect. They are adjunct faculty, and public colleges and universities are increasingly relying on them as inexpensive providers ofhigher education. Belinda Peters is one adjunct faculty member who has had enough ofwhat she calls the "deprofessionalization" of university teaching. She is leaving academia at the end ofthe semester after teaching history parttime at CSUSM for more than three years. Peters said she has no other choice but to seek work in another field because she has been unable tofinda full-time position as a history professor. "It was a hard decision, because I like teaching," Peters said. Many of Peter's students are upset that she is leaving.

In the near future, sporadic daytime closures can be expected at the east-bound on ramp for paving. Also the east-bound off ramp is subject to closures from 8:30am 3:00pm to allow for underground activity. These closures should not pose a major inconvenience, and dates for closures are always posted on the CSUSM web site. According to John Tiersman ofWier Construction they are only closing roads as the contract calls for it. "It is a city The Twin Oaks Valley Bridge of San Marcos contract and Cal Trans manages it." The demolition of the old bridge will be done only when phase one of the new bridge is fully functional. Phase one of the bridge is being built with a complete system ofpower lines (water, gas, telephone, and cable) so there will be no disruption in the power supply. It is all a matter of "San Diego Gas & Electric throwing a switch" according to Nichols. The demolition of the old bridge is a night job so thefreewaywill only be closed at night when the old bridge is destroyed. The old bridge will be taken apart, safely, piece by piece. It is a "fairly quick process," according to Nichols. Cathy Wier, the President of Wier Construction, urges all drivers to be patient with the current construction. "It is a construction sight, so be safe. Any cooperation from drivers is appreciated." PAUL BLANCHARD/raE PRIDE �Harry E.

Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER �C f) e $ ribe ORFALEA Cont. From pg. 1 ness; and Valorie Ashley, Director ASI was not notified of Orfalea's it's the people that turn you on. of Development in the College of He claims, "The predilection is the busy work. People forget to see what the hell is going on. They're working too hard... There's something about sleep you know... People should lighten up and look around. Busy people see today and yesterday, not tomorrow." Orfalea has been looking around the CSUSM campus for several years. Bemoaning the absence of a child care center on campus, Orfalea said, "I can't image how a big institution can't afford child care." Although it is not clear at this time if a child care center will actually become a reality, during an informal interview prior to his seminar; Orfalea stated "I'm really with you on having day care here. I'm thinking about donating a child care center here." Others at the informal interview included local reporters; Regina Eisenbach, Interim Associate Dean of the College of Busi- Business. Upon learning that the campus had developed an off-campus child care program since his last visit, Orfalea wanted to know more about theASI Early Learning Center. Orfalea was excited to learn about the CSUSM students' consensus to support the campus child care center. "Maybe we can match the fees," he said with a smile. It has long been the hope and dream of Associated Students and the University community to have an on campus facility that could grow with student needs for quality child care services. The Office of University Development handles most fund raising for campus building projects. Negotiating for large donations is typically not the realm of Associated Students, though they have the charge offunding and operating campus child care. Indeed, rekindled interest in the university, or an on-campus child care facility. While ASI has made significant progress towards the goal of an oncampus center, Director of Development, Linda Fogerson says, "We are totally supportive ofhelping ASI bring a child care center to campus. We will do whatever we can to help make this dream a reality." Associated Students operates the ASI Early Learning Center, an off-campus facility for the children of students, faculty and staff. The Center is licensed for 48 children, most of which are children of Cal State San Marcos students. Funding for the center comesfroma mixture of student fees, tuition at the Early Learning Center, and some donation funds. Student fees collected for child care are processed through the Associated Students' budget. I like the feel of the campus, smiled Orfalea. "I like the people; They'refriendly.It's a brand new culture." As he toured the campus, he noted that people walking on the track, walking to classes, and walking through the halls tend to walk in pairs or small groups intent on discussion. Orfalea has taught at numerous colleges and universities like Harvard, Yale, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal Poly. He noted that on his last trip to Stanford that most of the students there tend to walk alone. It is not yet clear if Orfalea intends to follow up on his desire to help CSUSM bring a child care center on campus. He'll have more time now to consider it. Orfalea wanted to tour the existing off-campus Early Learning Center, but his tight schedule prevented him His private jet was scheduled to take off on March 24 at 1:30pm Tuesday, April 11,2000 5 W o r d s rc> L ive B y June Hodges Always do your best.

Whatever reaction you feel determines Greekfraternities/sororitiesfor Blacks and Latinos would be student-led outreach and retention organizations that would give minorities an opportunity to bond while engaging in community service. More importantly, it would give many minorities the motivation to stay in college and not drop out. A Black sorority can be a cultural oasis, according to a graduate student who was in a Black sorority at another university. She said she sometimes felt isolated, alone, or different in a classroom where she was sometimes the only black female student. There are also certain manifes- tations of cultural affirmation that cannot be providedfroman individual of another culture. It is idealistic to think that everyone who is willing to bond through "brotherhood/ sisterhood" would do so in a cultural melting pot organization. I am in afraternitysuch as this: the Brotherhood of the Highest Order, the EJand of Brothers, Leathernecks, the United States Marine Corp. But, in reality, individuals in minority cultural groups who have grown up with their own kind can only bond in this matter or are forced to due to economic circumstances. For President Gonzales to block the expan- sion of the Greek System because of his cultural experience or his unwillingness to acknowledge this reality demonstrates a total disregard for the experience of other cultural groups growing up in the United States. Most CSU and UC schools have black and Latino fraternities/ sororities. Expanding the system would more than likely attract and retain these groups at CSUSM.

Based on the true story of an educated man living as a bohemian on the streets of New York City in the 1940's, the story focuses on the relationship that develops when Joseph Mitchell, a writer for the New Yorker Magazine, does a story about Joseph Gould. Gould, better known as Professor Seagull because he is said to know the language of the birds, is an eccentric man who chooses to live on the streets. He has given up his life as a scholar so that he may record the conversations of ordinary people. His life's obsession, the record of common dialogue is what Gould considers the "true history" of people, "The Oral History of Our Time." In a state between madness and genius, and surviving on money given to him by friends and strangers, Joe Gould takes Mr. Mitchell (and the viewer) on a whirlwind tour of New York society. From overcrowdedflophousesto high society parties, every moment of thisfilmis genuine and well done. Ian Holm, spectacular in his display of emotion, is both captivating and convincing as Joe Gould. Stanley Tucci, who also stars as Joe Mitchell, directed thisfilmwith an artful eye, paying attention to the minutest details. From voyeuristic cinematography to splendid costumes, thisfilmhit every mark. There was not one poor performance in this two-hour movie. Although Susan Sarandon and Steve Martin make short guest performances, this is not a mainstream movie and will probably not appear in theaters for long. So go to theaters while you can and pay the outrageous price to see Joe Gould's Secret-it is worth every single cent.

A slate is a group of like-minded candidates who run together with similar positions and goals; they are not necessarily official. Anyone interested in recognizing who these slates represent need go no further than spotting the clustering of signs on campus. Thefirstdispute was over a mistake concerning the time signs could be posted to start the campaign. The Dean Manship slate posted signs on the quad and in front of Craven Hall before the Stacey Helton slate had a chance to do the same. The Helton slate claimed the Manship slate received special privileges, alleging that the slate was allowed to skip a mandatory meeting that was required of all participants in the election.

Large companies, like Target, were present at the Fair, but so were smaller companies, like Modern Postcard.

On April 25 and 26 students will have the option to vote yes or no on increasing the semester fee for Health Servicesfrom$20 to $35. Health Services hasn't increased the semester fee since the fee was established in 1994. The average yearly fee for student health services in the CSU system is $108. Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director ofHealth Services, believes that students did not attend the forum because they are not aware that these Health Services exist So instead'of conducting an open forum, Nicholson passed out free bottles of water and pens to any student who walked by. Reactions to the fee increase vary across campus. A student, who prefers not to be named, stated, "No way. It's just another fee. I never use Health Services." Elena Medina, another student, stated that she would support it as long as the increase was gradual and services would be provided with the increase. She stated, "Students are here awayfromhome. They need these services. If the students live at home, these services are much cheaper."

"They shouldn't just take the first job open to them," said Punch. In addition to the fair, the Career and Assessment Center offered free workshops throughout the day, including one aimed to help prospective employees "dress for success," and another to help students draft an effective resume. All of the workshops were well attended, some to the point of overflowing. Perhaps the only folks unhappy with the success of Job Fair 2000 were campus regulars Jed Smock and his family. At the height of the event, and unable to compete with the noise from the job fair, the confrontational reverend was observed sitting at his usual post, quietly sipping water. agreed that action must be taken immediately. Some ICC members are fed up with their peers. Several clubs on campus will be unable to obtain their needed funding for events they have been planning, because the council has been unable to vote on anything for over a month. Other groups, like the Odyssey Club, are waiting for the council to reach quorum so they can be officially recognized as a club. They have been waiting for weeks and were visibly agitated at the realization that they would again be denied club status. Rita Reynolds and Reanna Wertz, who are both running for Executive vice-president of ASI, felt that clubs do not take ICC seriously enough. Wertz, president and co-founder of the Future Educators Club, sighted rapid growth in ICC as part of the problem. "The jump from 9 to 52 clubs has taken a dramatic toll on ICC. The policies are going to have to change." "I am disappointed with the presidents of the clubs who do not attend," said Penny Lanese, Anime Project Alliance. "If you don't care about your club,, you shouldn't have chartered it." Lanese went on to acknowledge ' those in regular attendance, "The ones who do go display praiseworthy dedication." Reynolds and Wertz both * felt that some clubs see ICC as simply a place to go when they need money. Reynolds, president and co-founder of the Victorious Club, insisted that ICC is "not just for funding. It is a place for clubs to exchange ideas, to support each other." �)e iPribe 2 (Tuesday, April 18, 2000 SIGNS Cont. FromPg. 1 Teacher Fair a Success Cynthia C.

According to ASI Presidential candidate Stacey Helton, all prospective candidates had to attend a mandatory meeting on Tuesday, April 4, at 1:30pm that covered election rules or else they would not be allowed to run in the election. According to sources familiar with the meeting, all of the candidates on the Stacey's slate attended the meeting while an only a few of Dean Manship's slate showed up to the meeting. Although candidates were prohibitedfromposting campaign signs until they attended the meeting, Dean Manship's slate posters were posted in the morning before the actual meeting took place. In an e-mail, Bobby Radovich states that, "In fairness to all candidates, we the elections committee must enforce the rules at all times. Ignorance of the rules will not be an excuse so this meeting is crucial." Asked why he did not ask them to take the signs down he said, "That it would be a waste of time. I asked for forgiveness. I just want to keep the election positive." the team has quickly made a name for itself. With 20 women,fromas close as San Diego and as far away as Sweden, on the roster, the Lady Cougars track team is well into an impressive inaugural season. With over half the meets competed, the women have qualifiedfiveindividuals and one relay team, with more individuals nearing the standard of their respective event every week. In the program'sfirstyear, San Marcos competes in the NAIA Division. They have proven their ability to hold their own against bigger schools such as Cal State Long Beach, UC Irvine and UCSB.

The talent W omen's Track at C SUSM Dean Manship for his part denies that any special treatment was given to him saying that, "We have done everything right We haven't got anything against the other slate." When asked if the large number of complaints against them were due to other factors he added, "They think we are a bunch of incumbents. It has nothing to do with ICC or club matters. We have good ideas. I want to have a positive campaign." Another dispute between the groups involves the enforcement of sign rules. "You are allowed four mistakes. If you go over the amount you are not allowed to run," said Penny Lanese, a candidate on Stacey Helton's slate. She also stated that rules are not being enforced to the fullest extent. She claimed that Dean Manship's slate had violated the rules twice while she claimed her slate had not. Dean said that these charges were unfounded and said, "I don't want to say anything negative." The person in charge of sign postings and citing violations is Gezai Beihane, Student Involvement Coordinator for the Center for Student Involvement. He contradicts the charges made by Helton's slate by saying, "I have heard complaints but no rules have been violated." He explained that there are strict rules for posting signs, but during election season the rules are relaxed. Despite this and other inside disputes both Dean Manship and Stacey Helton said that they wanted a positive campaign focusing on issues. does not stop at these women either. Renee MacDonald is a top challenger for the Half Marathon, Jackie Campos recently qualified in the 3000 meter walk by nearly two minutes and Mirna Hernandez is ranked in the topfivein the discus. Heather Garritson is currently under the provisional mark for the 3000-meter run-which almost guarantees her a seat on the plane to Nationals-and is expected to hit the standard qualifying time in the near future. In a meet at UCSD on April 8, the womenfinishedfifthout of eleven teams-an outstanding feat considering they were missing Downey in the 200 and 400, Laura Wilson in the 400 hurdles, and sprinter Jessica Walker in the 100 and 200 due to injuries and sickness. Thisfinishonly proves the strength of the team. It is a sign that they can look forward to an exciting second half of the season.

As a recent addition to the student body at CSUSM, I feel that I can present a fresh view to ASI. I believe that my diverse working experience, including management and customer service, has prepared me for the rigorous demands of ASI President. I am currently the President of the German Club, as well as Treasurer for both the History Club and the Victorious Club, and Secretary for the American Indian Student Alliance (formerly AISES). As ASI President, one of my goals will be to make sure that information is readily accessible to all students. This will help students to know what is going on and to voice their opinions before action is taken, not after the fact. I will also work to improve the Dome, with a wider variety of foods and extended hours. In addition, I am in daily communication with Rita, candidate for Exec VP. I will also hold weekly meetings with each of the executive officers to continue the vision of ASI Team 2000. To ensure that ASI is serving each and every one of the students at CSUSM! You, the students, will always be uppermost in our minds. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Dean Manship and I am running for the office of President of Associated Students Incorporated. I have been involved in ASI for two years and am currently the Inter-Club-Council Chairman. I have been dedicated to promoting student life on this campus, which will continue to be my top priority for both day and evening students. As your President, I will be committed to building lasting partnerships between the local business community and the campus community to enhance ASI's services to you, the students. I am committed to representing the concerns of students, and promise to keep your best interests in mind in every decision ASI makes. Associated Students is a tool for all students to have their voices heard at all levels of the university and make our careers as students more enjoyable and productive. I WILL BE YOUR VOICE!!! My passion as a student advocate will only enhance ASI and the student life at California State University San Marcos. My name is.Raeanna Wertz and I am running for the position of Executive Vice President of ASI. I came to this university in the Fall 1999 with experience in student government. I was the Interim Student Body President at Mira Costa College during 1998 and was elected as the Executive Vice President. I was also the president of the Future Educators Club and a peer educator in the HIV/ AIDS Peer Educator Program. Currently, I am the president of the Future Educators Club at CSUSM, and the ASI representative for the College of Education. I belong to the Student California Teachers Association, the International Reading Association, the League of Women Voters and I Volunteer at a local grade school. As your Executive Vice President, I will build communication between the students and ASI through committee participation. I will work closely with the ASI President to enhance communication with the campus community. I will use technology to reach as many students as possible with information about what your student government is doing and what issues we are addressing. I bring the experience of a re-entry student, and I bring enthusiasm as I am new to this campus and look forward to a great senior year. Rita Reynolds Major - History Executive Vice President I have been a student at CSUSM since Fall 1998, and I have a passion for this campus and seeing all of the students here meet or exceed their goals, as well as having a memorable experience at CSUSM. I believe my experience working as a manager for many years has been excellent preparation for the position of Executive Vice President. Additionally, I am the cofounder and seated president of CSUSM's Victorious Club, Treasurer for American Indian Student Alliance* and a member of the History Club. While at Palomar Community College, I was the first president of the Undefeated Club to serve for three consecutive terms. During my tenure as president, t he Undefeated Club was considered the most successful club on campus. If elected Executive Vice President, one of my goals is to bring a greater sense of community to our great $chool, so that when other CSU's look at us, they know who we are, we are CSUSM. We will not be considered just a commuter school or a group of students that use the same buildings on the same ground for our education. We will be CSUSM, in a united voice and mind. http://change.to/asiteam2000 My name is Penny Lanese, and I know I will be an excellent Vice President of External Affairs because I have pride in this University, love to travel, and I love to learn from other people. As Vice President of External a ffairs I hope to help rid the University of the "Commuter Campus" label. Many people attending this University choose to attend, and have the right to feel proud of their education. Conferences and social gatherings do help the overall system, and it is a valuable tool to travel to other campuses to learn how to fine-tune our own University. Because the job of the Vice President of External Affairs is to travel to other California State University campuses, I aspire to talk and learn how the other campuses dealt with similar problems that we currently have, namely: parking issues, fee increases, and lack of courses and majors. My nalne is Robin Milch and I am running for the office of External Vice President of Associated Students Incorporated. I transferred to this university from Mira Costa College in the fall of 1999. At Mira Costa, I was the Administrative Vice President as well as the Vice President of Programming. Through each of these positions I was able to acquire leadership skills along with a vast knowledge of how student organizations operate. On this campus I am currently the representative of College of Arts and Sciences. Through this position I have been dedicated to promoting student involvement on this campus, as well as representing the concerns of students. If I am elected External Vice President, I will be committed to building communication between ASI and students. I want to be your voice and to represent you and your needs on and off the campus with respect to the external community, locally and nationwide. Not only will I be able to bring experience to this position, but also I will be bringing my enthusiasm and dedication to student government. Together we can make a difference. My name is NeWsha Digius and I am running for the position of Vice President of External Affairs. I am a Communications major and I am planning to go to law school. I feel I would be an asset to the ASI for several reasons: my exp rience with ASI, my leadership nability, and my enthusiasm for student government. My experience with ASI began last year as the College of Business Representative. My second semester in ASI, I was^ elected interim Vice President of External Affairs The knowledge and experience I have gained as the VP of External Affairs makes me the best candidate for this position. I am knowledgeable about current legislation that directly affects CSUSM students. I am also familiar with the California State Student Association (CSSA), the CSU Board of Trustees, and the CSU system. I am an active member of Alpha Chi Omega, holding several positions including social chair, sophomore standards board representative, and the vice president of intellectual development. I am the president of the Peer Education and Support Club. Getting involved with ASI has enriched my enthusiasm for student government. I will endeavor to represent my constituents as the Vice President of External Affairs. Value-driven leadership is something that is difficult to instill, and I, Scott Crossman, would like to continue the changes that are being offered by the Associated Student Incorporated. I have been attending San Marcos for over three years now. My major is business administration - service sector management. I feel the position of Vice President of Finance is one that offers "real world" experience that will lead to nothing less than an enhancement of this campus. I feel that successful changes do not take place overnight and the position for which I am applying for will be challenging. My leadership roles began in high school with various student body positions as well as core roles in sports. Continuing on in work, my determination, enthusiasm, and perseverance led to promotions and eventually to departmental leadership roles. The curriculum in my major, Business Management, is based on sustaining a successful service sector business. The service is attending to the student body here at California State University San Marcos. The dedication and knowledge of this position, I feel, is in my horizon of success and education. The assets that come from this university are the same core values that I will take with me into office. My name is Samantha Beltram, and I am running for Vice President of Finance. I will be an asset to the Associated Students because I have experience as a leader on this campus. I bring experience as the chair of two clubs- AISES and Student-Parent Alliance (which is a club that myself and another single mother founded to promote campus awareness of the existence and needs of this portion of our student population.) I am experienced in how student government works as I have sat on the ICC representing AISES and served on the ASI's bylaws committee. Additionally, as I am raising a family while obtaining my education I have acquired life experience managing money via projecting and maintaining my family's annual budget, keeping accurate records, and maintaining a positive account status. On a final note, I am a highly motivated individual who is very customer service oriented, money management minded, team oriented and dedicated to addressing diverse needs and issues of a diverse student population. My name is Jocelyn Brown and I am running for the office of Corporate Secretary. I am a Biology major, and next year will be my third year at California State University San Marcos. Because of the experience, ideas, enthusiasm and goals that I have, I feel I would be a great asset to you, the students, as your ASI Corporate Secretary. I joined ASI late Fall of last year and currently serve as the Undergraduate Representative. I have been active in promoting forums for students to voice concerns, and I also serve on the Bylaws committee. I am familiar with minute taking and the duties and responsibilities of the Corporate Secretary. As your elected representative, I will strive to do my best to represent the student voice of CSUSM. I love being involved in student government and working towards student involvement and the enrichment of campus life. My name is Ron Hawkins and I am running for C orporate Secretary because I believe I can bring Honesty, Integrity, Knowledge and Experience to a position that i s in extreme need of all those things. I have numerous years as an administrator; I 'm mature enough not to play childish games with your money; I am a dedicated and determined individual by nature that will pursue excellence in all areas affecting student life. I will ensure that all information affecting students is available and is published in an efficient and timely manner. I will ensure that Agendas for all regular meetings will be published ahead of time. I will foster an attitude of service and openness that has heretofore been noticeably lacking. I will ensure that my vote will always be for what is best for the students, not for the ASI officers. I will ensure professionalism in all publications that are the responsibility of ASI, thereby ensuring all outside agencies perceive CSUSM as an outstanding university. Please Vote for Ron Hawkins for Corporate Secretary, and the slate of ASI Team 2000. My name is Tammy Conley and I am a liberal studies major applying for the position of ASI Childcare Rep. As a mother of a student as CSUSM, I hope to bring awareness to my fellow colleagues and surrounding community about the importance of student-parent support needed for those students who desire quality childcare. Along with raising awareness, I hope to work closely with the ASI Childcare Center to provide as many parenting resources for both the parents and the staff who �(Tuesday, April 18,2000 5 ®fje $ r t b e are associated with the program. Because my daughter attends the Early Learning Center, I have a special interest in making sure that my child and every child that attends the ELC is involved in a f un, safe, educational, enriching, and nurturing environment. I am currently the Vice President of the Parent and teachers Club and have participated in the ICC meetings and feel that the experience has and will help me achieve greatness in this position. My name is Roderick Frazier. I am a Communications and Literature and Writing Major, and I am your candidate for ASI Undergraduate Representative. I realize the changes that are so desperately needed at our school. There is a need for better student life on campus. If elected as Undergraduate Representative I plan to dedicate most of my time to bringing more student activities on campus. Ralph Ellison said, "It takes a deep commitment to change and an even deeper commitment to grow." As Undergraduate Representative I will commit to student life, and reach out to the incoming students. I plan to invest the time that it takes in order to make this campus grow. I am currently the president of the yearbook club, a member of the ICC Board, a member of the programming committee, a member of the president's council as well as working at the University Store. I am involved on campus on a daily basis. I will be an asset to ASI because of my deep passion for improving CSUSM for the students. I feel the it is my duty to improve the lives of every individual on campus, and to tirelessly improve the reputation of this school. My name is Wendy Meeks and I am currently a junior, majoring in Communication at CSUSM. I am applying for ASI Representative of Arts and Sciences. As an ASI Representative I would work toward increasing and enhancing , communication between the department and the students. I believe that it is crucial to encourage students to get involved in campus issues. As a student who is focused and committed to performing at the highest level, I understand the struggles and concerns facing students. Over the past four years I have volunteered for CSUSM's Annual "Celebration of Service," and over the past three years have acted as a group facilitator during the selection process. As a Study Abroad student in France, I learned how to adapt to new environments and still accomplish my goals. Finally, last semester I interned for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, in Washington D.C., where I faced new and exciting challenges. While there, I had the opportunity to learn about the legislative process through my research of bills, attending committee meetings and responding to the concerns of constituents and contributing to the newsletter. It is my goal to bring my experience and commitment to strengthen communication, thereby- improving student and faculty relations. My name is Michael J. Miller and I am a Visual and Performing Arts Major. I'm running for the ASI representative for Arts and Sciences position on the ASI Board of Directors. Currently, I'm Vice Chair and co-founder of the Pride Alliance and I'm also the founder and president of Student Artists Association. Using my knowledge of student government, on and off campus connections and the skills that I have learned through various positions, I will commit myself to improving relations between faculty, staff, and students of the College of Arts and Sciences. I will use this position to bring the concerns of the students to ASI and to support the College of Arts and Sciences in every way that I possibly can. If given this opportunity, I will do my best to bring prestige and respect to our campus and to our student government. My name is Edward "Tad" Goddard and I want to be your College of Business Representative. I am currently active within the ASI Board Meetings and have more insight than most into how things are done. I've served on the Student Affairs Committee this semester. I've been a student here for four semesters now and have seen how our campus is changing. Some of these changes concern me. Are they taking our best interest into consideration? I want to make sure that they do. I don't want to see any needed programs bogged down in political filibustering or bad ones passed along without some thought. We need someone who will look out for student opportunities and make sure we can take advantage of them. I can make sure this is done. Jennifer Carroll I am a twenty four year old transfer student from Mesa College. I am a business major, with an emphasis on high technology management. I am a junior and am currently in my second semester attending CSU San Marcos. I am a member of Sigma Iota Epsilon, an honor society for business students. I desire to take an active role working with the administration for the benefit of students. I see ASI as a good vehicle for me to hone my leadership shills. As a College of Business Representative, I will conduct more open forums, establish direct communication between the College of Business Dean and its students, focusing on their needs and concerns. I will also offer more literature and information about the College of Business to students enabling them to "get the most" out of their experience here at CSU San Marcos. I am a hard worker, dedicated to achieving excellence.

This is written in response to that piece, and to provide CSUSM students with additional information. The development of Greek life at CSUSM has been ongoing since 1992. At that time students indicated an interest in beginning to develop Greek opportunities to enhance the student experience. Through 1994/95 a selection process was undertaken, underscoring to interested national affiliates that the campus wanted to slowly begin developing a Greek community that would model and embrace a strong commitment to the cultural, ethnic, age, and lifestyle diversity of our student body. Invitations to submit letter of interest were sent to all NPC, IFC, and NPHC nationally recognized social sororities and fraternal organizations, nineteen responded positively. Eight national organizations were interviewed and 4 were selected; 2 fraternities and 2 sororities. At a recent student meeting held on March 23rd with the Vice President for Student Affairs, a concern was raised regarding "promises" made to earlier organizations that would preclude any addition of ethnic based chapters. This meeting prompted additional research and review of archival materials. A decision has been made by the Vice President for Student Affairs to review the level of current interest and to more assertively promote the process to grow our Greek community. A meeting with appropriate campus personnel to oversee this process has already been scheduled. What developed were very strong service-based organizations, participating in a variety of campus and community projects. As our campus has changed in the number of students, differing needs for campus life and in a more diverse need base for develThe opinion piece very oping a sense of community, so strongly asserts that the adminishave the expectations for Greek tration is "blocking" the expanlife. sion of the Greek system.

OK, so Parking Services is not w asting my t uition. But you have given me the opportunity t o begin another l ist: "Top Ten Ways i'o Waste my $62 (or will it be $66 next s emester?) P arking F ee". I will concede that I have not f ollowed the shuttle (only 1 eight s eater not two, a lie I must have made up to d eliberately deceive the student body, and i ncite a r iot) around, but since I have been a ttending school the most p eople that I have seen on the s huttle has been f ive.

In fact, over the past 2-3 years several meetings were held with interested students and the Center for Student Involvement staff (now known as Student & Residential Life) to assist them in understanding the process to bring new organizations to campus. Additionally, no proposal/plan for expansion has been presented to President Gonzalez for his consideration. In the absence of a proposal he has not communicated any disinterest or lack of support for expansion. Quite the contrary, he has sent a clear message to Student Affairs that the campus life/ student life opportunities for CSUSM students must be increased. l ots, nor room to put t hem. v ices.

URL: http://www.csusm.edu/pride/ The Pride �Spring Festival 2000 Giovanni Ferrer PRIDE STAFF WRITER On April 15,2000, Associated Students, Inc. held the first annual "Spring Fest 2000 at CSUSM's Mangrum track andfield.Although held to promote student and community interaction, the event was sparsely attended. All proceeds from Spring Fest 2000 will support ehildcare services on campus. Novelty games, such as trampoline jumping, sumo wrestling, and a blow-up obstacle course, provided f un for both children and adults. One favorite was "Cameron the Caterpillar," a huge plastic chute for kids to crawl through. Other activities for children included a human bowling game and a 26foot inflatable slide. The youngsters were given balloons and could have their faces painted. Two local bands named Klownfish and Handful provided live entertainment for the event. Campus clubs held refreshment booths to try help raise money for their perspectiye clubs. Circle K International sold lemonade and snow cones. Mr. Taco sold Mexican food for approximately $3-5 per plate. The San Marcos fire department had a fire truck on display and CSUSM campus police showed off their vehicles as well. The Mapapa Acrobats capped off the day with an exciting performance of leaps, flips, and tumbles. Originally from Kenya, the group began performing in Europe, and currently travel the U.S. performing their acrobatics. The event ended with a hat contest where contestants won gift certificates to local businesses and free passes to Knott's Berry Farm. TRACK Cont. From Pg. 2 Every day from 3:00pm - 5:30pm, you can find women sweating it out as they do workouts designed by head coach Steve Scott and assistant coach Wes Williams-all in anticipation of stepping off the plane in Vancouver, British Colombia, Canada to participate at the NAIA Nationals May 2 4-May 27. So as you stress out aboutfinals,think of these women and the prestige they are bringing to Cal State San Marcos. The women who round off the team are: Leslie Akers (800), Nicole Feehan (sprints, pole vault), Tara Hardee (throws), Denaye' Lakotich (hurdles, pole vault), Lorena Reyes (distance), Amanda Poniktera (throws) and Camille Wilborn (distance). Keep up with the women and men track teams on their web page, http://www.csusm.edu/track, where results and pictures are posted weekly. 1 ?

Earth Day is about people taking action in thenown communities for a cleaner, healthier environment. Earlier Earth Days lead to a push on such causes as recycling, but this year organizers hope their energy agenda will lead consumers, government agencies, and businesses to expand conservation efforts and the use of cleaner forms of energy, such as solar and wind power. The agenda also includes tougher pollution standards for cars, appliances, and lactones. III? Here are two local events to check out:. Powav 2000 Earth Arbor Dav, April 22-23.

Segall PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to the Saturday, April 22, 2000 issue of the North County Times, former Lieutenant of Campus Public Safety, Alicia Smith has filed a lawsuit against CSUSM. In the article by Bruce Kauffman, Smith alleges she was fired because she was "female, single, and black, and because she filed a complaint against her supervisor" former Chief Arnold Trujillo. Smith received notice of her The North County Times furjob termination on November 2, ther stated that Smith alleges that 1998. during her tenure at CSUSM, her sexual orientation was questioned and that her pay was not equal to officers of the same ranking throughout the CSU system. She also charges that term "monkey" was used in conversations about race, a term that offended Smith. Roy L. Landers, Smith's attorney, could not be reached for comment. According to the article, Landers notes that racial politics could be one explanation for the firing of Smith. Smith began her position as Lieutenant for CSUSM's Public Safety in November 1995. At the time, Smith had twenty-three years of experience in law enforcement. She was president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, Patrol Officer in Los Angeles and San Bernardino County, Line-Sargeant for Southern Pacific Railroad's Police Force. Currently, there are no women on the CSUSM police force, but according to Chief Tom Schultheis, "If all goes well, we will be hiring two women officers in the near future." In their need for full-time officers "around the clock," the University Police Department was unable tofindavailable female candidates tofillthe positions. Of the eight officers in the force, which includes Chief Schultheis and Lieutenant Will Glen, two officers are African-American, two are Hispanic, one is Asian, and three are Caucasian. Chief Schultheis responded to the North County Times article by noting that the events took place before his time at CSUSM. He hopes for more positive feelings towards the department and noted that currently, there are increased RAD training, the relocation of photo I.D.'s to on campus, things to make the roadways safer, and in the near future with better weather, officers on bike transport. CSUSM Awarded $1 Million from Qualcomm Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITER CSUSM will receive $1 million over a twoyear period to support the College of Business Administration. Although m process, it has not been determined how the funds will be distributed. These funds may be used to help develop training programs for professionals seeking middle-management positions in high-tech and biotech firms. CSUSM was included among a group of educational institutions to receive part of some $25 million that Qualcomm generously donated. Qualcomm agreed to donate the money to four universities including San Marcos. University of California, San Diego, San Diego State and the foundation for the improvement of Mathematics and Science Education in the San Diego Unified School District were also among the select group to receive the money. "We're thrilled to have the support from Qualcomm," said Kathleen Watson, Interim Dean of the College of Business Admin- Bad weather on Tuesday discouraged student turnout to only a handful of students. However, sunny weather on Wednesday increased the turnout to around 35 students for the forum. Most candidate issues focused on ways to increase student participation in student government and addressed the need to lobby the administration, local and state government for student issues. Supporters ofthe two competing slates in the crowd used the forum as an opportunity to ask difficult questions of the many candidates. Dean was not asked any questions regarding his issues, but defended his election slate's composition. The high number of fraternity Victor Mireles and sorority members on Dean ManPRDIE STAFF WRITER ship's slate was at issue. When asked why this was the case, he said, "I At the ASI Election Forum on personally have been wanting to run Tuesday and Wednesday, April since last year.

This money is expected to help expand the College of Business Administration. Although Qualcomm did not state specifically how the money should be spent, the University has discussed a need for training individuals involved in high-tech companies for middle management positions. "The idea would be to design the program based on the business community's needs," Watson stated. The program would benefit people who are fully employed and moving into management positions and seeking a MBA (masters degree) in biotech, high-tech, or business majors. The donation was part of a commitment connected to the "Digital Opportunity" tour by President Clinton. "Digital Opportunity" is designed to close the gap between those who can afford to access computer technology and those who cannot. Because this donation is so new, definite plans for the money have not been determined. However, the overall attitude of the University and College of Business appears to be extremely excited and grateful for such a charitable gift. dent government for years. ASI after the election.

As Peters points out, "...she is disappointed with a system that..treats both faculty and students as products." One cannot helpfeelingdisheartened knowing that the 'University' has become a business for PROFIT! Think about it Isn't it scary to think ofourselvesas 'products'? What kind ofan institution is this anyway? I thought that the educational institution was for the welfare of the people (students and faculty). One knows that when an educational system tends to worry more about 'saving a dollar,' it has less concerns about saving the 'future' of a wonderful mind I, too, am disappointed to see a well-respected professor leave the university. If she has been well liked and respected for her teaching andrelationshipswith her students, then let the students decide what FLEXIBILITY is! This so called 'flexibility' (The Cal State Thrift Plan) hurts the students, and as Peters stated, "...it does not provide better service." We areindividualswith serious goals:We arewhatmake this University work. We don't want to be products! It breaks my heart too, Professor Peters. Juniata RM Greenlee Gina M.

Although built in 1992, the greenhouse has been non-operational until this semester due to funding problems. Now fully operational and being used by Ecology classes,finally,the greenhouse has been put to use for growing life. The corn and beans study will show how the plants compete against each other for limited soil nutrients and light. The students have dried and weighed the plants, and are currently compiling their data in order to write up the results of this research activity. Continually, more Ecology classes are being offered at CSUSM. But the greenhouse is not solely for Ecology students' use. It provides research opportunities for all students and faculty. "The greenhouse offers a new dimension for students [concerning] instruction and research aspects," says Dr. George Vourlitis, Terrestrial Plant Ecologist and CSUSM professor. Undeveloped hillsides of chaparral adjacent to CSUSM are ideal for study - natural landscapes with native vegetation and ecosystems. The new Science Hall, currently under construction, is predicted to be complete in fall 2002, according to Bella Newberg, Financial and The Biological Sciences Department has within it the Ecology concentratioh where students work in the greenhouse under the class Biology 354, "Principles of Ecology". Various fields of study fall under ecology, which is the science of the relationships between organisms and their environments. In fall 2000, a Terrestrial Ecology class will be offered that is ecosystem-focused, and studies soil and the interaction between carbon, nutrients and water cycles. Terrestrial Plant Ecology studies the plant as a main unit, focusing on its growth and nutrient synthesis, according to Vourlitis. Currently CSUSM only focuses on general and "Terrestrial Plant" ecology, although there are plans to develop an Environmental Sciences program in the future. Graduate students can use the greenhouse to conduct research to fulfill their theses and under graduates can use it to conduct research for Independent Study course credit. For further information on research opportunities utilizing the greenhouse, contact Dr. George Vourlitis at (760) 750-4119 or georgev@csusm.edu. Some really good performances help.

'This is just one employee" who feels he has been treated unfairly, he said. Concerns about unequal treatment for African American staff members have grown because of a perceived lack of responsefromthe administration, according to African American Advisory Council Chair Reginald Owens. 'These issues have gained in strength because they have not been addressed," he said. Gonzalez has made several proposals in response to the perceived inequity among staff members. The administration has approached a consulting group to discuss ways to improve the situation. Gonzalez has agred with the council's call for increased training for managers, and said there needs to be more accountability in enforcing and upholding policies that require equal treatment of all employees. 'It's my responsibility to try and ferret out [disparities] and make this a place where people want to be," Gonzalez said. Owens also had some suggestions to increase diversity on campus. "Look at the hiring process," he said. The university needs to devise ways to increase the diversity of the applicant pool, according to Owens.

Smith African American faculty member has requested a jury trial. accused then CSUSM President, Bill Stacy, of avoiding the issue of institutionalized racism at an Executive Board Meeting of the Academic Senate. At this same meeting, Stacy recognized that CSUSM had failed to achieve the goals of the campus mission in regard to diversity. At an African American Advisory Committee meeting, both faculty and students stated they felt endangered because of the racial tension on campus, according to a Union Tribune article dated Oct. 11,1996, written by Lisa Petrillo and L. Erik Bratt. Faculty members felt racial problems had been escalating at CSUSM for two years. According to Stacy, campus police had investigated reports of a white supremacist group on campus but did not turn up evidence. For the next two years, more racist incidents occurred. Swastikas were painted on campus, one with a threatening message directed specifically toward a female African American professor. Security measures were taken to ensure her safety. In Feb. 1997, hate leaflets with threats of shooting African Americans and hanging their white associates were placed on car windshields. A juvenile was apprehended by university police for distributing the leaflets who claimed that he was a member of Tom Metzger's White Aryan Resistance (WAR). Metzger applauded the distribution, according to an article written by Michael Miller for the Feb. 13, 1997 issue of The Pride. According to Miller, Metzger had been held accountable in a civil judgement in 1990 after the beating death of an Ethiopian student in Portland, OR, Metzger was tentatively scheduled for distributing hate messages at CSUSM. At Curtis' arraignment, Metzger acknowledged that he and Curtis had communicated via the Internet and through e-mail, according to a Sept. 4, 1997 editorial in the Union Tribune. Curtis was not a CSUSM student. Consistently, more racist flyers were found on campus. In the Feb. 27, 1997 issue of The Pride, the president and vice president of the Aryan Student Union wrote a letter to the editor announcing the swastika as their symbol and professing their desire to "show pride and solidarity . .. affecting their race and culture." In Apr. 1997, there were bomb threats sent anonymously by white supremacists via e-mail threatening a unity celebration on campus. According to a former African American student who attended CSUSM from 1996-1997, the situation on campus "was somewhat tense, but for the most part, business went on as usual. [As an African American on campus] You paid attention to what was going on around you." These are some of the events behind Smith's allegation in her complaint that CSUSM did not respond appropriately to stop the distribution and dissemination of racist posters, signs and caricatures of bigoted illustrations prevalent on campus, thus creating a hostile working environment. After the 1834 Emancipation, the French, who were the colonizers at the time, lost control of the carnival and so former slaves rushed to the streets by the thousands bringing African ideas to the festivities. Today, all citizens of Trinidad venture out of their houses three days before Lent to celebrate carnival. All the nationalities that populate Trinidad come together and intermingle. The carnival helps combat the racial, social, and political hostilities that exist in the country. For the CSUSM student, the carnival is a great break before the dreaded week of finals, which start two weeks after this big and entertaining event. There will be food and drinks to go along with the music, prizes, and performances. All the students performing in the carnival will be wearing elaboorate costumes made with their own hands. A great deal of money has been donated to make sure this carnival is a success. According to John McKay, a student in the class, "With the help of ASI and the Pride Alliance we have already received $2000, plus an additional $2000 has been raised by the students in our class."

Cloning cuts down on the time spent t roubleshooting p roblem machines and hardware issues. Essentially, all the PC Computers in Academic Hall are exactly the same, made directly f rom one machine, which is copied, to each computer over our school network. Students were unable to use the Academic Computer Lab that Tuesday because of a small problem during the cloning process. A few of the machines had a problem " understanding" that they were to be cloned. Since all the machines are cloned over the school network, only a few machines can clone at one time. Some machines had slow or bad network cablefs, which caused the computers to download the cloned image more slowly than others did. Since it took more time for some machines to download the image, the rest of the computers in the Academic Computer Lab were waiting to accept the new image. This process can take several hours, which is why it is done at night. The slower machines took upwards of 2 to 3 hours each, which delayed the process /of cloning the entire Academic Computer Lab.

Nothin' but Love for the ILOVEYOU Worm Attack: ...8 Though the infamous ILOVEYOU "worm" spread like the plague throughout computer systems around the world, shutting down government agencies, corporate networks, and even entire nations early Thursday morning, May 4, 2000, CSUSM contained the attack on campus computers by noon the same day. ILOVEYOU was the subject line on e-mails containing an attachment that opened what some reports mistakenly called a "virus". According to the Symantec Antivirus Research Center viruses and worms differ in how they spread. Symantec is the provider of Norton Anti Virus software. Worms are designed to propagate cyber violence throughout a network with little or no help from humans (i.e. grabbing addresses and mailing itself). Alternatively, a virus is designed to hide out and allow itself to be sent to a recipient where it can wreck havoc on a machine. The ILOVEYOU attachment contained a Visual Basic Script (.vbs file) that, once opened, would mail itself to everyone listed in the address book, then begin corrupting specific files number of projects I hope to pursue and through them, I intend to continue contributing to the campus and the communities we serve/ Thanks for the support and commitment you've shown over the past four years. Together, we've made a lot of progress. In a memorandum to the Cal State San Marcos Campus Community dated May 3,2000 and released following the Academic Senate meeting, CSUSM's President Dr. Alexander Gonzalez notes that "[o]n Monday, May 1, Dr. Richard Karas resigned his position as Vice President for Academic Affairs. I respect his decision as well as his request for reassignment to a faculty position in the College of Arts and Sciences. With the fall semester, Dr. Karas will become a Professor of Physics at Cal on the local machine. "It's impressive code.. Clean...

The worm created what an Information Technology Consultant in HelpDesk Support, Carlos Arciniega, called a "panic" among campus computer users. When David Medeiros, Operating Systems Analyst for the campus Computing and Telecommunications department opened his e-mail at about 7:15am to more than 50 expressions of affection, he realized he was either more popular than he ever imagined or that a cyber attack had been unleashed on the campus e-mail system. "I opened the first arjd saw that the file extension on the attachment was .vbs," Medeiros stated. Knowing that most attachments are more common file types like .txt, .doc, or .jpg, Medeiros went to look for the latest updates for the Virus Scan program that catches and cleans Infected files. Medeiros said that they employed a 3-tiered defense, "Stop it, contain it, and fix it." Medeiros said that CSUSM faired better than many other organizations in the face of the worm because Computing and Telecommunications were prepared to react to the threat quickly. "When something like this happens, it's a big team effort," Medeiros said in praise of his coworkers. Computing shut down the campus e-mail servers almost immediately to quarantine the worm and began the process of cleaning the attachments for the campus e-mail servers.

"Its all pretty straight forward, we are drilling to find the depth of the granite layer underneath the compacted e arth," stated Paul Dunster, Project Geologist of Geocon, who headed the p roject. Paul also states, "The granite layer will serve as a foundation for the new library." Due to previous blasting and grading, some of the granite was found in large fragments. The fragments are not capable of supporting heavy structures such as the library. Granite stability was the m ajor problem Geocon "drilled i nto" while determining the granite depth.

He also served as Chair of Sonoma State's physics and astronomy department, and as a manager in a computer company doing business in China.

The recognized club organization moves to a provisional status, and finally becomes an o fficially recognized chapter. Currently, there are two Greek social organization f raternities and two sororities on campus. The two Greek f raternities are Tau Kappa Epsilon and Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

One major problem of MDMA is that users may start having intense memories f rom the past that they are not able to deal with psychologically. MDMA takes anywhere f rom 30 minutes to two hours b efore it begins to work. When it does begin to work, the user reaches the peak e ffect in only a few minutes and the user may start to f eel out of control until the plateau. The e ffects of the drug last f rom three to six hours. Unfavorable side e ffects that may occur include, dehydration ( from dancing f or long hours and not drinking enough water), nausea, vomiting, j aw clenching, eye twitching, and dizziness. It is also possible for the user to have an altered state in their mood for up to two weeks a fter taking MDMA. MDMA is in such high demand at Rave parties that the MDMA may produce "strong supply w on't last through the feelings of c omfort, empathy, evening, leaving sellers to pedand connection to o thers," dling Ecstasy pills that do not have the contents of MDMA.

For example there may be a sun engraved on the top or a smiley face. The pills also range in color. Mike Spangler PRIDE STAFF WRITER According to N BC's Dateline, MDMA is the most popular drug at Raves. However, there are several other drugs that are being used increasingly in the club scene. Examples include GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, and LSD. All of these drugs are even more dangerous when combined with alcohol use. Raves are usually held on the weekends in San Diego County and most commonly will feature " techno" music with plenty of dancing. Students of Professor Loni B erry's Theatre Arts class (TA 300) will perform in a play of their own creation. Tentatively titled "Decisions, D ecisions,"the theatre experience will take place in the CSUSM Visual and Performing Arts Annex on Tuesday, May 16, 2000. The crew and 11-member cast are made up entirely of CSUSM students* many of whom have never b efore been involved with a theatre production. Some actors a re nervously calling the production " Off-off Broadway... Way-off Broadway." " It's not about the production, "said Professor Berry, " it's about the m aterial." The play f ollows San Diego television reporter, Mike Anderson as he p ieces together the events s urrounding a fictitious Proposition 33, a proposition that bans same-sex marriages in C alifornia. Mike uncovers startling evidence on election night about the p roposition's author, a never-seen Senator Bob Daye. Students researched topics relevant to C alifornia society, and then write and produce a play based on the research results. The p erformances are the culmination of the semesterlong assignment f or the class. The general public is invited, but the production does entail adult language and content. Admission is f ree and seating will be on a first-come, first-served b asis. Those wishing to attend should plan to arrive at the VPAA on La Moree Road at 7 :30pm. �Heading East: Asian Pacific American History Melanie Addington PRIDE STAFF WRITER " Heading E ast," t he t raveling e xhibit t hat w as o n d isplay i n t he C SUSM L ibrary, g raced t he c ampus c ommunity w ith i mages a nd h istory of A sian-Americans.

BE ALL YOU CAN B E www.goarmy.com �Dear Editors, better yet, Dear Students who voted NO on the Health Services Referendum: (Fallbrook, CA). Dear Editors: I wanted to thank all the students who attended the child development workshops. Your registration benefited the ASI Early Learning Center. For those who do not know about the child development workshops, let me fill you in. Every month this semester, speakers from t}ie San Diego County Family Child Care Association have been giving workshops on child issues and education. The I would like to think that your Student Health Services is important to you and is taking sessions included: care of your needs. Dr. Nicholson did say, regarding the compromising of staffing because "Storytelling" by Cheron Yusko - co-sponof the NO vote, they "will not be able to accommodate students..." and it will be "...difficult sored by John C. Paget, CPA (Fallbrook, CA). to provide for twice as many students." Is this the kind of health care you wantfromYOUR Student Health Services? Just take a good look at the health care system in this country! (I Yusko gave a wide range of ideas on how to would love to see it on the ballot; vote no on HMO's and go back to the old way—I'd never tell stories to children of all ages. leave the voting booth). "Stress ant the Young Child" by Bobby Kilbourne - co-sponsored by Fallbrook PharThe Student Health Services has had a positive impact on this campus in taking care of the student's health care needs. It has been a one-on-one healthcare practice, including the macy. Kilbourne reminded us that so many pharmacy department, which is extremely important to any individual. I am not only speak- behaviors of a child can relate to stress, which ing from my own positive experiences that I have had at the Student Health Services, but can stem from indirect events at the home. come on now, I know that I am never alone in my experiences. Surely there are others out With the workshops, refreshments and there who feel as I do. As far as my experience goes, I have had to struggle for my own door prizes were included. The door prizes health care (on the outside). So believe me, students who voted NO on the referendum, it was poor judgment on your part, because the last thing you want here is an understaffed were great and all donated by local businesses. Be sure to thank the following contributors healthcare facility. Understaffing means less or poor quality care. when you see them: Pizza Hut for donating pizza certificates; Someone once told me, "Because of the advancement of the medical technology in these changing times, we have to change with it and welcome these new practices of healthcare" Angel's Landing Resort - A free night; Solid (this was their way to describe poor quality care and understaffing). I replied, "Tell that to Rock Gym Indoor Rock Climbing - Free your heart patients and your AIDS patients, and your sexually transmitted disease patients, passes; North County Gymnastics & The the elderly, the small children who are told they have a 24 hour bug, but die a few days later, Gyminny Kids - Certificate; Hair Attitudes and those who find Out at the last minute that their cancer is too far gone, and last but not - a certificate for the works; Albertson's & least, your everyday patient who just wants that check-up because he or she needs to know Edwards - Certificates; Bobbi Kilbourne Gifts; Kaitlynn Miller - Gift certificate for that the body is functioning okay!"

I wish you could vote again saying that thefirstone did not count --it was just for practice. I am very curious to know why you students who voted NO did so. I realize that you all can't possibly just tell me, and probably do not want to be bothered in doing so, but please, I urge you to respond to this little write up of mine and offer your input, your insights, your reasons behind the negative vote. I almost want to dare you. I can't help to wonder why you would not want more and better services from Student Health Services. Was the vote an issue of money; say, $35.00? I bet you spend way more on junk food all semester! Soda and candy is not cheap. All supported child development and the CSU San Marcos ASI Early Learning Center by giving incentives for people to attend these educational workshops. It's not too late to win one of these exciting door prizes! We still have one more workshop this semester - Thursday, May 11, 2000 at 7:15pm, with Ruthie Hewitt - "Math and Science Can Be Fun". Join us, learn and win! Also, after talking with many, it has been decided that scheduling the trainings for the afternoon rather than evenings is best. Therefore, the workshops next semester will be once a month, on a weekday afternoon, for your convenience. Keep in mind that Ellen Flanagan will visit next semester and talk about "Sensitivity to Child Rearing Values": The date is not yet decided, so watch for announcements in the Pride Calendar of Events and campus posting. Again, thank you to all that have supported and attended the ASI Early Learning Center trainings. Together we're making our community a more knowledgeable place about our developing children! Hope to see you in May! Sincerely, Debbie Nation ASI Childcare Representative Violence Against Women Act Needs Five More Years Darcy Walker Cesar Chavez Day Victor Mireles In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), a landmark piece of legislation that works at the federal, state and community levels to protect women and childrenfromdomestic violence and sexual assault. Funding provided under this law allowed five years of federal support for programs such as the National Domestic Violence Hotline, which receives more than 8,000 calls per month. Shelters for battered women and rape crisis centers are among the many services made possible by this legislation. I attended the Cesar Chavez and Cinco de Mayo event put on by the CSUSM MEChA club. The event took place at the bottom of the stairs that lead up to the free speech area, and had the support of ASI and the University. Both the ASI and university presidents spoke briefly on the importance of having diversity on campus. Yet, after they left, the event showed its true colors and became a hybrid political and cultural rally. With training also granted by the VAWA, police, judges and court personnel are learning how best to respond to the unique dynamics of domestic and sexually violent crimes. Countless lives have been improved and saved by the programs supported by this legislation. But five years is not enough time to end violence against women, and lives are at risk daily. We cannot afford to close down shelters and hotlines. Thefirstspeaker talked about the suffering that Chicanos have faced for centuries. He said that the defacement of the Che Guevara banner last year was a hate crime because "he was a greatfigurein the struggle forfreedom."The speaker also made a thinly disguised accusation of racism saying that the people complaining about the volume of the music might be doing so because, "they don't like Chicanos expressing themselves." He finally said that his views spoke for all Hispanics. I quickly left the event and wondered what this all meant. Congress is considering a bill to extend funding for the Violence Against Women Act for anotherfiveyears. Since its introduction last year, 171 members of the House have cosponsored H.R. 1248, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Bill. Locally, Representative Brian Bilbray of the 49th district has shown his support by signing on as a cosponsor in October of last year. However, Reps. Randy Cunningham (51st district) and Ron Packard of the 48th district have yet to make this important commitment. As residents of North County, we rely on these men to speak for us in Congress. Call on them to stand up for women, children, and families. Ask your representative to sponsor and support HR 1248. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, 51st District: Phone: 760-737-8438 Fax: 737-9132 613 W, Valley Pkwy. Ste. 320 Escondidio, 92025 Ron Packard, 48th District: Phone:760-631-1364 Fax:631-1367 22l E.Vista Way Ste. 205 Vista, 92084 Additional district and representative information is located in the blue government section in the yellow pages. Complete information about HR 1248 and any legislation, current or otherwise, can be found on the Internet at http://thomas.loc.gov The sad reality is that MEChA and other groups that proclaim themselves to be victims are worthless organizations. I am a Mexican-American but I am also one who knows that living in the past isfruitless.MEChA claims to support and speak for Chicano views, but I am one Mexican-American who would like to say that they don't speak for me. My family has been living in the United States for over a century. My ancestors came to the U.S. legally around the 1890s and have been productive members of the nation since. My late grandfather fought in the Second World War. We have always regarded ourselves as loyal and proud Americans. Although I respect where I came from I am American first. Mexico happens to be the place where my ethnic group came from. MEChA and other organizations that dwell on past injustices from the U.S. and Europe are doomed because they cannot see that those who move on do succeed/It is easy to complain, but have you done anything tangible to improve the lives of Mexican-Americans? MEChA would be well advised to celebrate Cesar Chayez but not to praise people like Che Guevara. How can a group that wants justice support a man who helped turn Cuba into a repressive, terrorist-sponsoring state? I probably will be called a Twinkie because I do not support MEChA, and I accept that. It will only show how intolerant and shallow they truly are. I hope that when the next Cesar Chavez day rolls around we make it a truly diverse event with dances of all races and ethnic groups and keep the politics out. I think Cesar would have wanted it that way.

The Rancho Bernardo Inn graciously hosted approximately 200 CSUSM students, faculty, and staff—serving them a dinner of chicken and poached salmon. Students were encouraged to attend the extravagant "suit and tie" affair at a cost of $15 dollars per student. Many of the club members in attendance were also given invitations for friends and family to attend the event. University President Alexander Gonzalez; Executive Vice President, Dr. Ernie Zomalt; Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Richard Karas; and ASI Executive Director, Darlene Willis, were also in attendance. Waleed Delawari, ASI President, master of ceremonies, commented that the awards event was "truly for the students." The first hour of the event awarded members of the Board of Trustees, members of the current administration, and past ASI presidents who also gave speeches that evening. Delawari honored the former ASI Presidents, Charles Ragland and David Alimi, Joseph Faultous, and President Elect, Dean Manship. Numerous plaques and statuettes were also handed out in honor of student government leadership. The keynote speaker, Dr. Ernie Zomalt, was among the honorees that received awards for his role in establishing CSUSM student government. The last half-hour of the event honored a majority of campus clubs, including Greek institutions, Dance and Arts, MEChA, and the Victorious Club. The event seemed to go off without a hitch, until ASI went to award a member of the Victorious Club--a student organization that works to achieve equal rights and privileges for the physically challenged. However, it appeared that ASI overlooked wheelchair access to the stage, unknowingly preventing Penny Lanese from receiving her award in a timely manner. Prior to this incident, Delawari had jokingly remarked to the audience, "If you don't claim your awards, we get to scratch the names out and keep them." After the award ceremony ended, congratulations and photo opportunities began. Students were able to shake hands with President Gonzalez, Dr. Zomalt, Dr. Karas, and Darlene Willis. Students also danced to the music provided by a DJ and guests mingled as the event drew to a close around midnight.

Cal State San Marcos Goes Caribbean Victor Mireles PRIDE STAFF WRITER The end of the spring semester was given a rousing sendoff with the 1st Annual Caribbean Carnival that took place Wednesday, May 10 outside the Dome. 95 students and volunteers dressed in elaborate costumes in the style of a Trinidad Carnival, and danced and paraded to the beat of a number of Caribbean style tunes in two groups, "Ecstasy" and "Fantasy." Murray Moran a member of the Ecstasy group said, "We tried to recreate the celebration on a miniature scale. The real one has thousands of people."

SCVLPTVRE TRIGGERS CJLMPVS CURIOSITY PRIDE STAFF WRITER Sonia Gutierrez ''Nobu in a Dream" is expected to be on display until the end of this semester. On Wednesday, May 10, an anonymous plastered sculpture magically appeared overnight on Founder's Plaza Courtyard. The physical anatomy of the nude piece suggests it is male. The faceless figure stands in a rigid position with clenched fists and is approximately 5'9" in height. Although the sculpture may not resemble a Rodin or a Michaelangelo, it definitely captivated the attention of many CSUSM students. On Thursday night, from afar, an unidentified student screamed, "Look! It's the naked white man!" It turns out that the "naked white man" is a creation by CSUSM student, Hironobu Shimomura. The piece, titled "Nobu in a Dream," is a project for VSAR 320: Public Expression in the Arts. Hironobu bases his project on his unforgettable recurring dreams. "This dream was situated at public places, such as school ground, classroom, and town streets," recounts Hironobu. Even though he wore clothing in the beginning of his dreams, by the end of them, he was naked and feeling intense emotion. "I would like to make this dream sequence come alive at this campus" writes Hironobu. Nails, newspaper, plaster, wire, and wood hold the piece together and a wooden skeleeton lies underneath the plaster. However, based on Hironobu's sketches, the piece remains incomplete. Hironobu's project proposal and sketches are on display in the hallway on the second floor of ACD. In his proposal, Hironobu explains he will use sandpaper and a wood carving tool for the sculpture's detail. Plastered clothing, such as pants, shirt, and shoes, will also accompany the piece. Hironobu will also use a slide projector to project images onto the statue for his class presentation. The VSAR 320 course, taught by Professor Kristine Diekman, examines public art, government funding for the arts, First Amendment and censorship, and historical and social context through various case studies. "Nobu in a Dream" By Hironobu Shimomura Here Comes The Sun: Be Informed about Skin Protection for the Upcoming Summer Months Kimberly Valentini and Shanna Skidmore PRIDE STAFF WRITERS The sun has peeked through the clouds during the last few weeks of classes and many students have taken the opportunity to sit outside the Dome and absorb the rays. Stephanie Dail, a CSUSM junior and sunbather commented, "I know I'm at risk for skin cancer, but I just love being in the sun." It is evident from the great amount of sunbathers outside the Dome, that Stephanie is not alone in her opinion. May is Skin Cancer Awareness month. However, many students may be unaware of the damaging effects the sun can have on their skin and unaware of how to protect themselves. Skin cancer appears in the form of moles on the skin. Moles that change in size, shape, and/or color should be checked by a doctor right away. The American Cancer Society suggests to check for any changes in mole patterns, freckles, and other marks on your skin. Signs of skin cancer include: a difference in the edges of mole possibly ragged or notched,, one half of the mole may look different than the other, also watch out for mixed colors in moles such as shades of black, tan, or brown, and sometimes spots of white, red, or blue. Protection from the Sun Rays What is Skin Cancer? According to Heath Net, one out of every seven Americans will develop skin cancer during his or her lifetime. The American Cancer Society reports that basal cell cancers account for 75% of skin cancers and melanoma accounts for 4%. According to the American Cancer Society there are two types of skin cancer: nonmelanoma and melanoma. Nonmelanoma skin cancer is broken up into two classifications: basal cell cancer, which can be found on the head and neck, and squamous cell cancer which can found on the face, ear, neck, lips, and backs of the hands. Melanoma mainly appears on t he upper body of fairskin men and on fair-skin women's lower legs. However, melanoma can appear in other places of the body. Melanoma cancer is much less common than the basal cell cancer, and is almost always curable in its early stages. running to the tanning salon is not the solution. The best defense against skin cancer is to protect yourself and know the facts on cancer. Listed below are some guidelines from Health Net for protecting yourself from skin cancer: •Avoid being in the sun during peak time, between 10:00am and 2:00pm. •Be sure to use sunscreen or sunblock with a SPF of 15 or greater every time you're outdoors; even when it is cloudy outside, the sun's UV rays can pass through the clouds. •Cover every part of your exposed body with sunscreen, reapplying every two hours and each time you get out of the water. •Take a break from the sun every 20 minutes if it is possible. •Stay in the shade or wear protective clothing when you're not physically active. For more information on skin cancer, contact The American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 orwww.cancer.org; the American Academy of Dermatology at 1-847-330-0230, 888-462-DERM (3376), or www.aad.org; the National Cancer Institute at 1-800-4-CANCER or www.nci.nih.gov; or the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship at 1-888650-9127 or www.cansearch.org. Malignant Melanoma UV radiation from sunlight and tanning booths is the source that puts people at a greater risk for all types of skin cancer. Being exposed to the sun without protection puts everyone at risk for getting skin cancer. Cathy Grenett, Clinic Aid II, from CSUSM Student Health Services said, "We encourage all of our students to use sunscreen and to have dermatology test done frequently." The American Cancer Society predicts that in the year So when you are out in the sun the rule of thumb should 2000, there will be 47,700 new cases of melanoma in the always be to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the United States and about 7,700 people will die of this cancer. sun.

CSUSM held its f irst public recognition of Yom HaShoa'h last Tuesday, when Dr. Andrea Liss discussed her book Trespassing Through Shadows: Memory, Photography, and the Holocaust. and artistic representations of the Holocaust. In her lecture, she discussed the graphic and disturbing images of the camps seen in photographs, and noted in an interview that the "direct documentary approach is not that respectful of the people being pictured." Liss, who will teach a class entitled "Holocaust Art, Photography, and Film" in Spring 2001, said she hopes that by learning more about the events of the Holocaust, people will be more willing to confront intolerance when it occurs around them. "We need to be concerned about racism at a local level and not be afraid to Liss does not argue that graphic documentary pho- speak out," Liss said. tographs don't have a place in our understanding of the Holocaust.

"It's a matter of how they can work together," she said. "It was considered an extreme imperative to set aside a day of remembrance," Liss said. "There can't be static remembering" of the Holocaust, she said. "That's called forgetting." Yom HaShoa'h, which began in 1951, was set to coincide with the 1943 uprising of Jews in the Warsaw ghetto, Liss said, in an attempt "to wed this commemorative day with those events." Artistic representations such as comics draw in the "post-Auschwitz" generation, Liss said. In her book and in her lecture, she discussed Art Spiegelman's Maus books as one example of nontraditional media that seeks to bridge the gap between those who experienced the Holocaust and those who seek to understand it. Spiegelman serves as a "liaison between the world of the presLiss described Yom HaShoa'h as it occurs in Israel, ent and the world of the trauma," Liss said. where it is a national day of remembrance.

The scenery was split in two sections of the apartment to account for outside and inside scenes. Once I adjusted to hearing the familiar lines repeated so often in Tennessee William's play, sung, I relaxed into the moment and enjoyed Streetcar for all it was worth. In act one, Blanche Dubois has come to New Orleans to visit her sister, Stella. Stella's husband, Stanley, "infuriated by Blanche's artificial airs, her suggestive behavior, and what he regards as her loss of his wife's birthright, is determined to expose the lies about her past," according to the San Diego Performing Arts magazine. That night, Blanche meets Stanley's poker buddy, Mitch. Flirtation ensues between the two, and Stanley angrily breaks up the party. Streetcar Named Desire is the sixth opera to be part of the North American Voices Program, which is intended to showcase a series of operas with subjects relevant to North American experience. North American Voices project continues the 2000-01 season with the premiere of Carlisle Floyd's Cold Sassy Tree. A bittersweet love story based on the novel by Olive Ann Season. Academy award winner and film director Bruce Beresford will direct. The San Diego Opera runs yearly from January through May at the San Diego Civic Center in downtown San Diego. Ticket prices range from $31 to $118. Rush tickets are available the day of the performance for $20. To purchase tickets or find out more about rush tickets, contact San Diego Opera online at: www.sdopera.com or call (619) 232-7636. Unfortunately, the first ninety minutes of the first act were abysmal. The songs were drawn out, overdramatic, and senseless. "It made me wish I had stayed home," commented an audience member during the first intermission. In act two, Stanley tells Stella of the tragic rumors circulating about Blanche. On a date with Mitch, Blanche reveals her innermost secrets. In act three, Stanley cruelly ruins Blanche by revealing her secrets to Mitch and buying her a one way ticket back to where she came from. This begins the deterioration of Blanche's mind. After a whirlwind of catastrophe, Stella is forced to send Blanche to an asylum. Thinking she is leaving to visit an old admirer, Blanche unwittingly takes the doctors hand, informing him she, "has always relied on the kindness of strangers." The score was still jarring at times but would instantly come together beautifully in a heart rending operatic duet. Anthony Dean Griffey, portraying the insecure but Mitch, a moralistic suitor, brings new depth to his character when he and Sheryl Woods, as Blanche, reveal the depths of their characters souls in the act's final song. As a fan of Tennessee Williams, I was pleasantly surprised at how s uitable Streetcar Named Desire w as f or o pera.

Also, while we are on the subj ect ofChe and Cuba (and I hope this doesn't start another debatefrompeople who have learned everything they know on Cuba from the corporate media), you need to get your facts straight. Che helped turn Cuba into the Latin American country that has the highest literacy rate, free health care for all (Cuba's health system serves as an example for most underdeveloped nations and even some developed countries) and one of the most, if not the most industrialized Latin American nation. Though it may be true that Cuba's government may be repressive (this is a law of political science: states in all their forms, capitalist or socialist, are repressive), Cuba is not sponsoring terrorism within its borders or anywhere else. The main state or government that sponsors terrorism in Cuba and throughout the majority ofcountries throughout the world is the United States. TheU.S. sponsored the Bay ofPigs invasion as well as many assassination attempts of Fidel Castro (no government has the right to assassinate a nation's leader). Also the U.S. is responsible for a 30 year trade embargo on Cuba which has been condemned repeatedly by the United Nations and does not allow food and medical supplies into Cuba (how much more inhumane can you get?). ?). Plus I could add the fact that the U.S. is currently selling arms to a 70 year old illegitimate, terrorist Mexican government that is keeping its people living in poverty and misery. I could go on and on to prove my point of the U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist states throughout the world, but I won't.1 could go on and on to prove my point ofthe U.S.'s role in sponsoring terrorism and terrorist states throughout the world, but I won't. I'll just mention a few, and hope you'll take the time to do some studying. Try studying Chile's history, specifically Pinochet and the overthrow of Allende, plus Guatemala. the school president decides to leave and can not or does not stay for the day. Hector Muro criticized President Gonzalez's weak stance on the Che issue while he was there. Like I said, it may hurt you to be reminded of your history (when you mentioned that you "happen" to have roots in Mexico, you say it as if it is a curse or afreakaccident of nature), but we are not about to let Cinco de Mayo be just another day to party. We are not about to let Budweiser, Marlboro, Doritos, or Taco Bell pimp off our history and culture. As Mexicans/ Chicanas/os in the United States, Cinco de Mayo is especially important to us today for many reasons. Cinco de Mayo for us is the David and Goliath story of Mexican history.

Finally, you have every right to say that MEChA does not speak for you, because we do not try to speak for all Mexicans or Mexican-Americans. As Hector Muro said, those of us in the universities represent a small percentage of our people. "Less than 1% of our people graduate from a university". Thus, as students, we try not to be selfish and speak for only 1% of our people. At the beginning of the year, we made a conscious decision to address the issues that affect the masses of our people. We understood that there are more of us in prisons than in the universities and we understand that most of our people are working class people. Most of us are being exploited somewhere i n' afield,in a factory, or in hotels and Country clubs. And we understand that it is our right and responsibility to be proud of where we come from so that we may have the dignity and courage to struggle for a just and brighter future for all. Keep in mind, you called yourself a "Twinkie", don't criticize us for something we never said. Ricardo Favela; MEChA Vice-President considered by White society to be 'Mexican first'. 4. Finally, [Cuba is a] "repressive terrorist-sponsoring state"? This is the pot calling the kettle black, which everyone would understand if we paid more attention to history and brought the criminals deeds into the light for everyone to see). Are our sanctions on Cuba not 'repressive' to Cuba? Does the Bay of Pigs ring any bells? Terrorist is a relative term, the British considered George Washing ton a terrorist and the Nazis considered the French resistance terrorists. Che Guevara fought for the liberation of his people from the foreign oppressors and their internal collaborators.
