The Cougars Surf Team, in their first year of competition, was able to compete and place higher titan other local colleges such as the University of San Diego and San Diego State University. "Our performance at nationals was exceptional, considering it was our first year competing in the NSSA. Everyone did their best and ended up finishing right along side the big schools that have done well every year. The most unique thing about Dave Kinacannon, is now returning for his second season. He missed two tournaments last season due to a broken leg, but he was still able to qualify for nationals and placed tenth. "We made something out of nothing; we all worked together," said Kinacannon. San Marcos is that we have such a small amount of people to draw from.

Among its many findings, the audit asserts that certain CSUSM CoBA faculty and administrators who were responsible for the MBA program offered through Extended Studies "acted collectively in disregard of various laws, regulations, and California State University (CSU) policies and procedures." According to the audit, "over $300,000 in Continuing Education Revenue Fund (CERF) expenditures" which were insufficiently associated with the CERF program "were made as grants to CoBA faculty". In its official July 16 press release, CSUSM has maintained that it had taken action to correct the situation. The audit also highlights various ways in which leaders and prior cam|>Us administrators acted in an "economically wasteful manner" in a summary which includes the following: - CoBA faculty responsibilities were additionally decreased when it separately hired student advisors. CoBA faculty workloads were calculated in a manner that reduced student classroom contact for many CoBA tenured faculty. CoBA discretionary expenditures were often, inadequately supported and inappropriately approved. Hourly rates for faculty with consulting contracts ranged from less than $50 per hour to several hundred dollars per hour without any perceptible justification for variances in the rates charged. Jack Leu, associate professor and former director of the MBA program from 1999-2001, notes that "Cal State-business schools have had inadequate funding for decades." Professor Leu states the problems that the program faced which include the struggle in recruiting talented faculty and how their actual workload of giving up a winter or summer break for extra pay "was rewarded with sub-market compensation." According to Professor Leu, "We could have taken the conventional approach of many CSU campuses. However, we taught our students not to be limited by system constraints, not to accept status quo and to take the journey less traveled. Perhaps we must also tell our students that the lesstraveled journey can also lead to p eril" In terms of how the Extended Studies MBA has operated as an academic program, the investigation concludes that it was "improperly administered" by the CoBA and ES management. Some examples of those findings include that: - Campus standards over grades were iiot followed. ES exercised little control over the operation of the CoBA ES MBA program. In addition, it retained few official accounting or academic records for the program as it does for all other ES programs at CSU San Marcos. Campus academic leaders, the CoBA dean, and MBA program leadership failed to act with due care and attention toward Office of the University Auditor findings and recommendations presented in the Continuing Education audit in December 1999. - Concern regarding thé management of the * CoBA, more specifically how the ES MBA program is being operated, has been expressed by students. Continuing Education Revenue1 Funds are expended in accordance with Education Code requirements, and training has been scheduled for administrative staff and faculty. 5. Special consulting contracts that pay faculty for duties typically included in their teaching responsibilities have been discontinued. 6. Pay for hours worked by faculty on grants now correlate to actual pay rates. While the special investigation gives numerous recommendations "which would mitigate the recurrence of similar findings In his article, Professor Leu in the future," in its press release, also states, "Faculty must not the university has listed the fol- be discouraged.

In my capacity as your A.S.I. Secretary, over the summer I had the opportunity to interact with a lot of incoming freshmen at orientation. Oftentimes this interaction involved nothing more than simply walking by them on my way to another spot on campus. It seemed to me that almost every time I would walk through a crowd of freshmen guys talking (or whispering) amongst themselves, I heard a familiar theme repeated over and over. It went something like, "Daaamn bro, look at all the hot chicks here yo, we're outnumbered like two to one!" Indeed, I admit, I was just as excited about that ratio when I first came to this school. Unfortunately what these guys don't realize yet (but they undoubtedly will once the semester gets underway) is that that ratio offers absolutely no assurance that they will "hook up" with any girls, let alone one.

It's common knowledge that, when it comes to understanding women, most guys are about as smart as a block of concrete. Our biggest problems are that, first of all, we simply don't talk to enough girls, and since most of us aren't very perceptive or sensitive, usually we either misinterpret (or just plain, miss) the signals girls do give us that are supposed to let us know they wouldn't mind it if we talked to them more and/or asked them out on a date. When I told my 12 buddies this, they all grudgingly concede that they couldbe better about approaching more girls. But, as far as not being able to read signals that girls are supposedly sending to them, they get outright indignant and sometimes even kind of pissed off. "WHAT SIQNALS?!?!" they all retort. "Are we supposed to be like mind-readers or something man? Are they using telepathy or something?!?! See man, that's what's messed up about chicks is that they always expect you to come to them, but when you do think you've received some kind of signal and you do step to them, 99.9% of the time you either just get straight up dissed, or they're nice but didn't �W ho B e n e f i t s W hen S t u d e n t s H ave t o C rash C l a s s e s By Gail Tarantino Pride Staff Writer It's that time of year again. Between having a crappy registration time, and the fact that the school only offers two sections of a core class that you need, so you are left having to crash a class that you can't graduate without. You are desperate. You have to have this class this semester because it's either & prerequisite, or it's not offered in the spring, or you need it to graduate on time. You don't even care that it's only offered at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesdays, or 11:00 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you've got to have this class. really want anything to do with you and you start thinkin' you're crazy 'cause you were sure they were givin' you the go-ahead, but then it never works out, you never get any love, you end up pissed off at yourself, frustrated, lonely, and highly discouraged... and after a while you just stop trying to talk to them with any hope of ever hooking up or getting a date because you and all your boys are like, "man, the chicks at this school are wack!" I think whatthe guys are trying to say is that girls need to stop waiting for guys to approach them, and they need to be clearer about the signals they give. Please ladies, don't take this personally and try to see this for what it really is: A CRY FOR HELP. The guys at this school are frustrated and confused. They want to get to know you better, but they aren't having much success, and don't know how to fix this problem. Guys like to fix things. Please help usfixthis situation. I'm sure all the guys at this school would really appreciate it if one of you that read this would write an article for the Pride telling us what we're doing wrong. And if you don't feel like writing an article but would like to share your thoughts feel free to email/ call me (see below), or stop by my office in Commons 203, and then I'll turn around and write a follow up article. So you arrive early on the first day of class only to find that it's standing room only. You wait silently for the adjunct du jour to arrive, while wondering how many others will try to crash. You ponder your possibilities. Usually the instructor will either refuse all crashers (in order to keep the class size small), take all crashers (knowing in two weeks there will only be 15 students still enrolled), or just let graduating seniors crash. I'm not just talking about the occasional class everyone has had to crash, but some students have to crash multiple classes every semester. to know each other all that well. We don't hang out together outside of school enough. We don't party together enough. I repeat, WE DON'T PARTY TOGETHER ENOUGH. This needs to change. No, I'm not joking, I'm dead serious. We need to have more parties. In my experience and that of all my friends, parties are clearly the best places to meet people, and lay the foundations for sometimes long-lasting and rewarding friendships. But how many big cool parties did you get invited to and go to last year based on your connection to someone at this school? Undoubtedly there are many of you out there that could count them on one hand, ^nd probably still more that couldn't count any. This needs to change. We need to party together. We need to have fun together. We need to be able to say to ourselves after we leave this place, "My time at San Marcos was so fun, that school rocked, I made so many friends, I went out with so many girls (or guys, depending on what you go for), I had the time of my life, I have no regrets and I 'm sad to be leaving." Unfortunately, at this point, I doubt most of us would say this. So, let's party. I challenge everyone whom this article resonates with, who has access to a house that it would be cool to throw a party at, to offer to host a big kickass party. If you need help organizing it, come talk to me, I'm here to help. My roommate and I wanted to throw a big party ourselves but we can't because we just moved into a condo. But if this article resonates with you, if you're feelin' me, and if you've got that perfect house, please, do yourself and everyone else at this school a favor, call me. But folks, there's really no amount of any such suggestions that would change the situation here. Guys will be guys, and girls will be girls. What we all need to realize is that ultimately, it's not a matter of whether it's more the guys fault or more the girls fault for keeping us all single, lonely, and wishing we weren't... ultimately the problem i s that for the majority of Hie students here, the environment we interact in, this school, is fundamentally nonAlone, we'll continue to wish conducive to fostering interperthings were different.. .together sonal relationships. we could make this place rocle We drive to school, go to class, then leave right away (usually Erik Roper alone) to go to work or some other commitment. We don't get While getting the classes you need is always a challenge, one thing is for certain: the system of crashing works to the detriment of students and faculty, and to the benefit of the administration which is why the administration likes it and will continue to sit back and not do a thing to dismantle it. classes but only getting paid for two. The administration saves on payroll, collects maximum tuition fees, and can continue pretending that the existing number of classes that are offered to students is sufficient. So while frustrated students cope with inadequate class choices, the part-time instructors get less pay and have larger classes. This is a very conLet me explain.

Yes, we students are the customers, and the college would cease to exist without us. The students deserve better treatment than we have received in the past, and better than we are receiving now. So the next time you crash a class successfully, be sure to tell the teacher thank you. And for all you instructors that take crashers; thank you. Without you some of us would not be able to graduate on time. R epublican B ait a nd S witch Recently Bush has proclaimed the greatest Republican fable of them all, that all of Nixon's economic troubles were the fault of Lyndon Baines Johnson. Is this factually correct? "At the same time, [Bush] insisted upon fiscal discipline, drawing parallels between economic conditions during the Vietnam conflict and those now surrounding his war on terrorism. In the 1960s, war spending was not balanced by cuts in the rest of government spending and, as a result, the 1970s saw deep unemployment, growing deficits and spiraling inflation, [Bush] said" (Aug 18, 8:16 AM ET By SANDRA SOBIERAJ, AP). course, the executive Republicans Milton advocated tax cuts to have never balanced a budget the top wages earners as the way to stimulate the economy with since. a 'trickle down' effect.

Bigger and bigger deficits from Milton-Reagan folly resulted. COMMENTARY If you believe that today's economy is the result of Clinton's presidency, perhaps the above claim would be considered reasonable. But let 's take a stroll down memory lane to that time of strife amidst love, the 1960's> and judge events for ourselves. Johnson knew the Vietnam War was a mistake by 1966, and spent the rest of his presidency alternating peace negotiations with targeting bombing. Johnson made one of the supreme sacrifices of any president in our history by taking responsibility for his Vietnam failure and did not seek to be reelected. He spent the rest of his presidency in non-partisan peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese to bring an honorable end to the war, and allow a predecessor to negotiate freely with out the responsibility for his actions. Johnson fell on his sword, handing Nixon a way to end the conflict, reduce defense spending, and keep the balanced budget alive that Johnson handed Nixon in 1969. Of The deficit spiral could only be stopped by another modest Keynesian democrat, Bill Clinton. A slight increase on taxes paid by those whose incomes exceeded $200,000 a year allowed for a few targeted investment and research programs to blossom. In a few years, deficits gave way to surpluses and the middle class was again treated to Keynes understood the wisdom targeted tax cuts. of stimulating growth through Now here comes George Bush public works projects.

The celebration began in Chavez Plaza at 11 a.m. with the annual CSUSM student picnic and was followed by a ribbon cutting ceremony led by President Alexander Gonzalez. Former department chair Bill Bradbury took a moment to share his excitement about the new Arts building and reflect back on the beginnings of the Arts program at CSUSM and the efforts of the late Don Fuentes, who is remembered for his work early on in CSUSM's history.

VOL.X NO.II Professor Salah Moukhlis, Photo by Desmond Barca Today, Professor Salah Moukhlis will be giving an informative lecture, followed by a question and answer session, on the world of Islam. The lecture will begin at noon in Commons 206, and is scheduled to run until 1:15. Dr. Moukhlis intends to spend approximately 15 to 20 minutes discussing the historical context of Islamic culture and it's relationship with the west; afterwards he will host a question and answer session in which he will field questions and attempt to present an accurate image of Islam based on his experiences. Dr. Moukhlis is in a unique position to promote cultural awareness having spent much of his life in the predominantly Muslim country of Morocco, where he earned his B.A. degree in English.

The new Science Hall (Science II) was recently equipped with 180 new Dell computers, and 100 new Apple computers have been installed in the Arts Building. According to Bill Ward, directqr of Telecommunications and Network Operations at Caí State San Marcos, "The system adds were divided up by department except for one general student lab [stocked with PC's] that IITS manages in Science II. (The new Science Hall] has several new labs for computer science, math, physics, [and] biology.". Bill Craig, (we need his title here), was unavailable for comment as to the exact numbers of computers connected in each of the new labs. The remainder of the shipments was used to refresh the current systems on campus and to replace some of the older model computers in Academic Hall, Craven Hall, and Science I. The older systems that were replaced by the new shipments have been retired and returned to the campus materials management for storage. One of three things can happen to the old systems.

The preview for the auction started at 9:30 a.m. and the actual selling began at 11 a.m. Over 150 people gathered for the annual event where items were sold on an "as is, where is," basis. The auction took place at the v For sale at the auction were computers, desks, chairs, TVs, VCRs, and a lot more. Over all, there were 400 items for sale. At the beginning of the auction, a Pentium Processor sold for almost $180.00 reported Cal State student, Ben Arnold but he said, "Later, I saw people walk away with computers for as little as $20. There were a lot of great deals. We bought a desk chair for $30." Robert Aguilar, another auctioneer, commented that the auction had a great turn out. "We had 100 lot sheets, listing the items available for sale, ready for the people, and ran out of them right away. I believe a lot of people have walked away very happy. This is different from what I usually do. I usually do car auctions. I am here to help Emilio conduct the auction and this is more fun." He also added jokingly, "Yes, it's true... if you scratch your eye at thé wrong time, you might wind up buying something!" The auction, conducted by Abamex Auction Company, was very successful. The cashier replied, "I am too busy to know how much money has been taken in, but everything seems to be selling."

According to Dr. Moukhlis, when applying for a faculty position, CSUSM was his first choice, and that after he met with students last week he felt assured that he had made the right decision. In the future Dr. Moukhlis hopes to establish a study abroad program with Morocco, as well as seeing the Global Lit. Program here at CSUSM expand. to first few weeks of the semester. The add/drop deadline this Fall is 09/17/02. Under the new refund policy students will be given up to the 60% point in the academic term (11/07/02) to receive a prorated refund. This means that if students bomb their midterms and want tt> withdraw, they still have a chance to get back some money. If students find themselves in a situation of having to withdraw from the university and wanting to get all registration fees back, there are some exceptions to this policy. Although severe medical conditions did not make the top ten list of acceptable reasons for withdrawal without penalty, the excuses that made it to the top are: a) fees that were assessed in error b) course for which fees were assessed was cancelled by the campus c) a delayed decision made by the campus regarding student's eligibility for enrollment and d) compulsory military service. It May Not Look Different, but the Dome has Gotten Better By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer Although basically hidden to customers, many changes to the campus food court, the Dome, took place over the summer. As Aztec Shops employee Debbie Curtchianti said, "Most of [the renovation that took place] was behind the scenes/' This included an expansion that enabled renovation and upgrades. Asignificantamount of space added to the kitchen area, as well as advancements in the technological equipment systems used by the food services, makes for a better experience for customers. While things appear basically the same as they did last spring in the Dome's cafeteria and convenience store, in spite of appearances, customers may be pleasantly surprised. in the mornings and stored for the day's sales. However, now meals are cooked in small quantities throughout the day. Consequently, as Curtchianti promised, the food served in the Casa Del Sol Grille, Nana's Pizza and Subs, and the House of Tsang will be fresh, sometimes even made-to-order. Along with the positive changes, prices on some items have been raised, but only slightly - $0.25 at the most. Curtchianti says this is to accommodate ' for "increasing minimum wage rates" and any other increases in production costs. The Dome staff now claims that customers can enjoy fresher meals at what are still considered descent prices, and Curtchianti optimistically promised that more good things are yet to come to the CSUSM Dome. The selection of food items offered in the Dome has not changed or expanded greatly, but cooking methods have.

Too often in our fastfood culture we opt for the convenience and ease of watching performers on a screen rather than in person. As a result we miss out on the human connection of participating as an audience with the actual performers, and that is sad because there is something intimate and special about being present in person for this form of storytelling. w f t h valid ID a g g - • . yyyyyyyyyyyyj Lunch 11-4 Dinner from 4 pm Happy Hour M-F 4-7 Actor, Barry Pear TWIN OAKS Guaranteed Auto Service Professional Technicians Tune-up m Brakes Full Smvim Cm Care!

The proposed naming of the library honors the devotion of two kind-hearted people who care about the future of Cal State San Marcos. According to future chair, Steve Welch, the new Science building "is the Ferrari of all undergraduate science labs in the country" and features cutting-edge scientific equipment and computer technology with over 72,000 square feet of labs, classrooms, and office space. The smaller Arts building consists of almost 59,000 square feet of new learning space with room for over 1,000 students. The Arts building also features a digital audio recording studio, art studios with natural lighting, and a 250-seat lecture hall.

Goodbye to CSUSM, after 25 years of no new campuses." Since the opening of CSUSM, two new CSU campuses have been opened, but both of them, Channel Islands and Monterey Bay, have been built by refurbishing prior facilities and buildings, according to a Member of Its of 1990, Dr. Baker served as the first Chair of the Academic Senate. She recalls, "There were approximately 30 faculty here at that point and all of them came to Senate meetings which were very When CSUSM first opened testy." When asked to elaborate its doors to students in the fall about what made the meetings Rick Moore, CSUSM Director of Communications. He also said, "CSU San Marcos is the only campus to be built in recent years entirelyfromthe ground up." According to her campus homepage, Dr. Baker spent 18 years at .DePaul University in Chicago before coming to CSUSM, six of which were spent as Sociology department chair; She also worked briefly within the administration at Stanford University. Faculty unpredictable and highly-strung, she denied further comment. Baker said, "I was the only full time sociologist here until Bob Roberts joined me in 1992, but we had a number of terrific adjunct faculty who joined us early on so that by the time Bob Roberts came on board, we were teaching about 15 Sociology classes each term." In the spring of 1992, CSUSM awarded thefirstof its Sociology degrees to 13 students. By 1995, CSUSM had developed its "innovative master's degree program: Master of,Arts in Sociological Practice (MASP)," according to Baker. She said, "This program, which continues the focus Q n social problems, human service agencies [and]fieldresearch has been very successful in attracting students, having students complete the degree, and move on to relevant careers or in some cases to Ph.D. programs." In 1989, Dr. Baker came to San Marcos to help with the planning of the new University. She designed and launched the Sociology program in the fall of 1990, according to her homepage. Baker said, "I have many memories of CSUSM in its earliest days. I was very active in faculty governance at both CSUSM and the Statewide Academic Senate in the earliest years." Baker said that she is "very pleased to have been a part of [the effort to provide students of all backgrounds the access to a Sociology degree]." She added, "Joining the effort to found CSUSM, and in particular the Sociology program at this university, has given me a chance to make a difference." As a member of the Statewide Academic Senate, Baker said she "learned a lot about the CSU system, and the other senators gave me an earful about what they thought about the CSU starting a new campus, namely Cl a s Founding Dr. Terry Baker-Degler, Courtesy of her CSUSM Home Page sif ieds per week for a nine-month-old.

KRONE Pride Staff Writer and Sports Editor Cal State San Marcos men's and women's cross country teams traveled to Mammoth Lakes, CA, for a high-altitude training session from -Aug. 24 through the 31 of this year. The reason behind this type of training was to increase the lung capacity of the runners. In doing so, they increased their stamina making it easier for them to gompete at lower altitudes. "The thin air and less oxygen forces the body to produce more red blood cells, which increases the oxygen in your blood," senior Brian Sullivan explained. th st The course length that the women's team, runs for each event is five kilometers and the distance for the men's team, is eight kilometers. With half of the women's team, and nearly half of the men's team being returning runners, there is no reason for Cougars fans to think that this year will be anything out of the ordinary for this exemplary program. Returning runners for the women's team include seniors Lanele Cox and Camille Wilborn; and juniors Katherine Niblett and Felisha Mariscal; and sophomores Samantha Delagardelle and Manal Yamout. New to the team include, junior Megan Katlinger a transfer from U.S. Military Academy at West Point andfivenew freshman who include Ann Marie Byrne from University High School Yolanda Carillo from Temecula Valley r Sullivan Strides By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor Cross Country runner Brian Sullivan is a 22-year-old senior majoring in psychology. This team leader was born in Spain and has lived in New York, Virginia, Georgia and Florida. From the ages of 10 to 14, he went to school on an American military base in Rota, Spain. He tried out for the cross country team at St. Augustine High School in San Diego. Sullivan promptly made the varsity team at his high school during his freshman year. He never competitively ran before high school; however he was a natural and it showed.

With these ¡six returning women and the six new members that are added to the squad, making Nationals, which is the goal of the team according to Coach Steve Scott, will be no easy chore. This would be due to the fact that the team will be running in what is thought of as a very competitive and talented region. Last year's team did not qualify for Nationals, but in 2000 theyfinished2 0 overall. Hopes are highfora return to glory. in the nation within the preseason National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) polls. "We have a good shot at being top five and could even win the National Championship," said Sullivan. The men's team has seven returning members who include seniors, Kris Houghton, Robby McClendon, Brian Sullivan and Omar 'Zavala; and juniors Mike Shannon and Justin Lessel. Sophomore Rene Reyes rounds out the returning lettermen.

Sometimes, he will run to the top of a mountain just to witness the setting sun. Other times, he will get up really early in the morning in order to run along the beach and watch the sunrise. Running allows Sullivan to think. " Running is a mental escape from reality, no matter what is going on," he said. fdk favorite thing to do in his spare time is to have fun with friends in Pacific Beach. He works at . a shoe store called "Running Center." He is also a private tutor in all subjects for two junior high school students, with whom he has developed a great relationship.

With the experience of the returning runners and some new talent, this season promises to be both exciting and successful for the men's team. "I feel really strong about this season, we have a big group of guys with real talent. If we stay together and focused we will succeed," Sullivan insisted. Brian realizes that his cross country career will not last forever. " I just want to qualify for the Olympic trials in 2004 then get on with my life. Running will always be part of my life and I will never give it up," Sullivan explained.

Apparently the college of business and extended studies developed the hybrid in order for the university to be able to offer a competitive MBA program, as competition for graduate students in MBA programs has increased because ofnon-accredited programs and the Internet. And while some students have expressed their concern that the program problems might devalue their degree, Gonzalez has assured both students and the business community that "the quality of the program was not affected." Since May 2002, the MBA program is running on state money only. Gonzalez explained that those involved in starting up the MBA program, one of whom was Dr. Bill Stacy who was president of the university at the time, were "entrepreneurial" and "creative" and focused on trying to get an MBA program established. The report claims that the program problems were worsened by the high turnover in its administration and faculty. In the last 10 years, the college of business has sustained a loss of "at least 10 faculty members", and there have also been eight permanent and acting deans. President Gonzalez assured the media during a press conference in July, that "there was not any fraud involved" and the procedures and practices causing the problems have been corrected. The chancellor's office report did not name names and Gonzalez has suggested that the people who may responsible are no longer with the university. Former program director George Diehr said that from the beginning the auditors seemed focused on reaching conclusions that supported President Gonzalez. and act on the recommendations made in the report, and to determine if the problems in the program were caused by "errors in judgment" or if anything illegal or unethical was done and by whom. The committee was expected to present their recommendations and findings to Gonzalez within 60 days. The following CSUSM staff and faculty members make up the committee: Chair Marion Reid, Jackie Borin, Silverio Haro, G. H. "Bud" Morris, Norm Nicholson, Sandra Punch, Miriam Schustack, Laurie Stowell, and Rich Vanderhoff. George Diehr, former director of the MBA program from 1995 to 1999, and current head of the The CFA has questioned the campus chapter of California effectiveness of a committee in Faculty Association (CFA), which a few of its members rely insists there has been no misuse on Gonzalez for budget approvof funds and all the "expendi- als, promotions and pay raises. tures and activities in question Lillian Taiz, CFA vice presihad top CSUSM administrative dent, believes the committee approval."

Rancho Sante Fe Rd. �W alking: Is It R eally So H ard? By KURT B.MAYER Pride Staff Writer Why is it so hard for everyone to walk around campus? It is true that there is a parking situation underway at this university, and that there is such an abundance of vehicles that the main entryway is lined with cars from end to end. In this congested state it would seem logical to simply park wherever there was the least amount of confusion and the most available space, even if it was a further walk. Yet this does not seem to be the case.. Like many students, I myself have fallen prey to the "vultures" which scavenge our parking lots looking for the closest possible space. The feeling of being stalked is quite clear when it happens. An ominous presence overcomes you, like you are being watched. You slowly turn your head and see a blue Honda civic trailing you, pacing you. You can try to dodge the scavenger by cutting through Indeed, the campus has needlessly delayed in constructing an accommodating parking facility for both students and staff, thus allowing the vultures to multiply and run rampant through our parking lots. Perhaps the funding is simply not yet present for a five, level garage. Yet the campus still decides not to blacktop one of the neaiby vacant fields, if only for an immediate-term solution. I have paid my $62 dollars for a parking permit Yet to spite thè game and avoid the vultures, I proudly display my red token ASI and its Rules Recently, ASI asked one of the student representatives elected last spring to resign. Evidently, she did not attend a "mandatory" ASI retreat over the summer because of family obligations that required her to leave California. I understand the reason for the retreat was to provide the new officers with information they will need as student representatives. I believe, however, the ASI is not acting in the student body's best interest when it adheres to average, I find it takes less time to hike the distance than to hunt for a parking space. Despite -this simple reasoning, as I hike up Craven Road I see countless others foolishly wandering into the vultures' lair, and I shake my head in bewilderment. Once again, I ask you: why is it so hard to walk? Walking is good exercise! In addition to doing two hundred repetitions on the- built-in California State University Stair Master, the extra twenty to forty pounds of books each student carries offers a slightly more extensive workout — and that's great for your heart and lungs! Plus, we have more time to talk on our cellular phones and bask in the warm September sun. to the next aisle where your car is really parked, but the scavenger will quickly circle around the bend and be there, waiting for you. Only when you reach the safety of your car and vacate your parking space with immediacy will the vulture back off — slightly. The instant you are clear the vulture dives in and seizes the precious parking space. rigid rules instead of applying common sense when conducting business. Although she ran for a relatively minor position, the student in question received more votes than any other candidate did. If she resigns, her post will remain vacant until it can befilledby an appointee. In other words, someone who did not run for office can replace someone elected by the students, although neither attended the retreat. Where is the logic in that kind of thinking? from the parking lot of the "P" building on the far western edge of Twin Oaks Valley Road. I then proceed to hike up the And whose rule is this mandatory retreat anyway? If ASI made the rules, then our elected leaders can certainly make exceptions. If the school is making the retreat mandatory, then I believe a serious conflict of interest may be occurring. Try to follow my logic on this point. Raise your $62 dollar parking permits high, and climb the Cartoon by Desmond Barca university mountaintop. (Just be sure to watch out for the preying vultures.)

If the school foots the bill for the retreat, that would place the administration in a position of paying our student government leaders to act in a certain manner. The ASI would then lose its autonomy to the university that places restrictions on who can run for a student government office. LETTERS The school tells the students running for office that if elected they must attend a mandatory retreat. The retreat indoctrinates the students on how the school operates so that the student leaders can interface with their the student could have served in her position without attending the retreat. She and the people who voted for her deserve better. I would appreciate a response from the ASI on this point.

In fact V V last \ JMSLjustmonth Aj ^roiOK. I \X V\ \ j «k m id f ^S^W^ 3 ^/MPI wf m was m discussing this subject * with my friend, who graduated from SDSU three years ago. We both meet plenty of guys, and girls for that matter, when we go out. Yet we never really met many people at college. After reading Eric's article Male Angst I realize we are not the only ones who wonder why. My friend, Nicole and I are both fit blondes and don't have any problems picking up on guys if it is necessary, but actually it has never come to that. Even though it is 2002, girls still like it when guys make the first move. Now that doesn't mean using some lame pick-up line on the girl sitting next to you in class, college girls are too smart to fall for that. Since the guys at CSU i are also very intelligent why not use your brains to strike up an interesting conversation. Though the idea of a party always appeals to me, in fact love to throw them. But every time I do throw a party it requires some investing for drinks and appetizers and if you invite people that you don't know then you have to make sure that there is someone big enough to throw anyone out who causes a fight. Plus you have to make sure that no valuables are left out in case a thief happens to get word of the party, and we haven't even But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. gotten to the idea of thé police coming. Because even though I like to give mankind the benefit of the doubt that these things won't happen I would be ignorant to believe that the possibility isn't out there. Anyone who has thrown more than one party of 100 people or more knows what I am talking about. Now don't jump to conclusions here, I am not against anything that Eric said I am here to give suggestions from a single girl's perspective. In fact I would like this to continue on to a weekly column. But it doesn't have to be for just single people. I think that the whole school could use some help on getting to know each other better. For those 21 and up, there are great clubs that host 'college night' in which anyone with a student ID gets a discount on drinks. For those under 21, we could have a weekly posting of the best movies out and plan a CSU night starting at a local restaurant and ending at the theatre. Yet the best way to meet people from CSU is at the cafeteria, even though I have never formed a relationship with anyone there, In fact the only person who actually suggested going out was a girl from Greenpeace, who didn't even go to college. She didn't 'pick-up' on me because I'm really only attracted to men. But she did something that most people at CSU rarely attempt; she sat at my empty table and started up a conversation. Luckily we had common interests. So she invited me to meet her friends at á club downtown that weekend She even wrote down the directions and time they were going. If a guy were to make the same effort I would have been even more willing to go. Yet there are two key things that guys should remember when taking such an approach, First, it is good to find a common interest and keep a conversation going for a little while, or wait until after you have met up with the girl more than once before asking her out. Second, girls feel more comfortable in groups, or if they are at least given the option to bring a friend. So ask her and her friends to meet up with you and your friends! Anyhow the first step begins with you; yes you, whoever you are. If you want to meet more people you have to approach them with some wit or topic of conversation beyond, "hey babe, you want to go to a party with me". Believe it or not most of us girls have heard that line before, ^ ^ • P P P P ^ ^ ^ j n s u r a n c e isn't what it used to be. Our people and technology are as diverse as ever.

His roommate was the last one to see him last Wed. at 10:00 a.m. at their apartment. A junior majoring in communication and a snowboarder, Zíngaro was scheduled to attend CSUSM classes on Wed. but never showed up. In addition, he never went to work at Tony Roma's restaurant in San Marcos to what would have been his second day on the job. Before disappearing, Zingaro called his employer to let him know that he would be late because he needed to come to CSUSM. He said that he needed to make some arrangements for a class. "He called and said he was going to crash a class and he was running late," said one of Zingaro's co-workers. Although Zingaro has not been seen since last Wednesday, his belongings, which include schoolbooks, clothes, and his surfboard, are still in his apartment. Both of his parents have said that he is not the kind of person to disappear without calling and that he kept in close touch with them as well as with his younger brother. However, the police do not think there is anything unusual about his disappearance, other than that he has turned up missing. There is no suspicion of foul play. starting classes.

Student enrollment for this semester is approximately 6900*, which is the highest in CSUSM history. This is a 14% increase over last fall. While our enrollment increases each year, the number of parking spaces stays the same. Patti Hale and Robert Williams in Parking Services gave me the break down on the parking spaces. There are a total of 2414 When asked how students spaces, of which 440 are for the are handling the situation, Hale faculty.

Stella T. Clark fue seleccionada para fundar el Departamento de Idiomas Mundiales y Literaturas Hispanas de la Universidad Estatal de California en San Marcos (CSUSM). Hoy, 12 años después, Clark está en el proceso de retirarse de su carrera de maestra que ha mantenido por 38 años. Este semestre empezó su proceso de retiró cómo miembro del Programa de Retiro Temprano para la Facultad (FERP), dicho programa del sistema universitario estatal (CSU) tiene un proceso de 5 años en el cual la futura facultad jubilada empieza a adaptarse poco a poco a lo que será su nuevo estilo de vida. Este programa consta de dar clases un semestre y el siguiente no, y así sucesivamente hasta los cinco años cuando la facultad se retira totalmente de su área de trabajo. "El departamento debe irse a la dirección de la gente nueva, que llegó en los 90s, que tienen nuevas ideas porque ya hay muchas cosas que se enseñan en las universidades que no se enseñaban antes," dijo Clark. Entre uno de estps cambios mencionados por Clark está la tecnología y la alta popularidad y uso de la Internet en aulas escolares al igual que los usos profesionales del español.

A ella le gusta vivir en la ciudad en la que trabaja para poder conocer mejor a la comunidad. Por tal razón, dice disfrutar de eventos como la Guelaguetza al igual que mirar personas jugando fútbol en las canchas universitarias en los fines de semana debido al gran número que viene a la universidad. En la carrera de Clark, la fundación de un departamento de idiomas no fue el único problema que enfrentó. "Cuando yo me gradué de Kansas, todos los profesores eran hombres, hombres y americanos," dijo Clark sobre su generación. También dijo que en ese tiempo usualmente las personas pertenecientes a las minorías o de género femenino no eran maestros en universidades. Por tal motivo, ella dijo, "Me gusto servir de ejemplo para las personas que se quieren graduar y que creen que no pueden porque son Latinas, porque son mujeres o porque vienen de una sociedad que no admite este tipo pero que si se puede." jos. Por eso, Clark dice, "No se dejen vencer por los problemas que va a haber problemas pero que no son nada comparados con los problemas de la vida si uno no tiene su preparación académica." Este consejo Clark lo recibió de uno de sus alumnos que trabajaba en un servicio de limpieza por las noches y que ganaba una buena cantidad de dinero pero se sentía estancado en esa ocupación lo cual lo motivaba ir a la escuela para cambiar su estilo de vida. "Estudiar es una inversión emocional, psicológica, física, y económica pero que les va a rendir mucho cuando terminen... Es un regalo que uno se da a uno mismo," expresó Clark. Clark le tiene un gran y profundo amor a su carrera. "Creo que me pagan por algo que yo haría gratis. Los estudiantes son magníficos," comentó Clark. Clark empezó su carrera en 1964 como estudiante graduada y por primera vez enseñó clases tiempo completo en 1970. Ella obtuvo su licenciatura en la Universidad de Mississippi y su maestría eñ la Universidad de Kansas al igual que su doctorado. Fue en la Universidad <je Kansas, que conoció a su esposo de procedencia cubana con el cual tiene 35 años de casada. También fue ahí donde accidentalmente fue colocada en el programa de español en lugar de francés lo cual era su objetivo. De acuerdo con ella, así fue como encontró su verdadera vocación.

Since some of these changes were made the week before the start of the term or even the first week of the semester, it was not possible to include them in the course schedule. In addition, some classes were cancelled and others moved to different rooms to increase the size of enrollment. This administrative course of action comes after the cancellation of many classes over the summer break. The decision to cancel these courses depends on a variety of factors. "The most common is low student enrollment," said Michael McDuffie, the Associate Dean in the College of Arts and Sciences. According to McDuffie, courses like LTWR 115 or WMST 445 were closed because it "isn't cost-effective to keep it open" thereby allowing the money to be used for more popular classes that will serve more students. Other factors, such as consultations with the Department Chairs, the amount of available sections in a particular course, and General Education requirements are also taken into account when determining which classes to cancel. It is unclear if the currently enrolled students of these cancelled courses were taken into consideration as a deciding factor. one room to another" as well as changing "one time to another." This^ change is meant to benefit crashers and new students alike. Late demands for classes are resolved by moving the class into a bigger room. The academic schedule remains to be determined by a limited budget and limited space. The fees that are collected from the new enrollment is expected to be spent on increasing the "instructional budgets," therefore providing room for extra enrollment in the spring semester. A complete list of available courses is located in the College of Arts and Sciences advising McDuffie also mentioned that office or Craven 6211. in addition to terminating some sections, other modifications have also been made.

Last week, Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, gave an informative talk on the historical context of modern Islamic culture. Attendance at this event was very low ~ the audience numbered less than a dozen — probably due to lack of awareness of the event rather than disinterest Dr. Moukhlis, originally from Morocco, volunteered his time, despite the low turnout, to provide those who wished to learn more about Middle Eastern culture the opportunity to ask someone withfirsthandknowledge. The,second school of thought is that the Middle East can be modernized without loosing its cultural identity by merging with western culture to the extent that it is useful and simply not adopting western attributes that conflict with traditional values. In describing this more moderate stance Dr. Moufchlis quoted Bryan S. Turner who argues: "What makes religious faith or religious commitment problematic in a global postmodern society is that everyday life has become part of a global system of exchange of commodities which are not easily influenced by political leaders, intellectuals or religious leaders." The main theme of Dr. Moukhlis' talk concerned the strategies that the Islamic world is using in order to deal with the problems associated with modernity; namely, in trying to modernize without jeopardizing traditional identity. According to Dr. Moukhlis, there are three schools of thought on this subject. The first is radical for the Middle The third school of thought is that modernism is too secular and holds too many perils, and that the best solution is to return to the pure or ancestral ways that Islam describes as the model for social organization. To contrast this isolationist view, Dr. Moukhlis quotes Monshipouri who argues, "It is essential... to remember that secular rational By DESMOND BARCA Pri(Je besign Editor norms and Islamic social ethics are not mutually exclusive.... The Islamists'choice need not be H reduced to negation or toleration H of secularism. Rather Islamists must create an equilibrium * bet\yeen continuity and change, ( j cultural stability and universal 3 civility, indigenous development and globalization, and communal identity and internalization of human rights." Dr. Moukhlis points out that, dating as far back as Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798, which he describes as being a huge a shock of modernism to the Middle East, the Arab world has felt a pressure to catch up with the West. While Moukhlis contends that most Middle Easterners like what the west has to offer ~ technology, democracy, and humanism — the west for them also represents violence, invasion, and the dehumanizing effects of colonialism. The values that the West holds as fundamental are universally admired, however the discrepancies between the theory and the practice cause disillusionment for Westerners and Middle Easterners alike. Giving voice to Arab sentiment from when he was living in northern Africa, Dr. Moukhlis said, "I love Dr. Salah Moukhlis, Professor of Literature and Writing Studies, speaks to mostly empty seats. what you love, too.

Debate By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer Over one hundred people-ranging from grade school students to senior citizens gathered at 7 p.m., Thursday evening, at the Shadowridge Country Club Home Owners Association in Vistaf to participate and watch the annual mayoral debate. Enthusiasm was noticeably high during the introductory ceremonies, as everyone was anxious to find a chair in the crowded dining hall. With a few dozen still standing with their complementary snacks and refreshments, partly due to the large turnout and limited seating, the introductions began, and as the 3 candidates for Vista City Mayor took their seats, the forfrial dining hall grew silent in anticipation. followed by the current Mayor of Vista Ed Estes, and last but not least Morris Vance. Three candidates that were scheduled to speak but did not show were Craig Heiller, Joe Vargas, and Elvin Vega. Reasons for these three candidates not showing up were not given throughout the evening. All three candidates gave their five to ten minute presentations to either become or to continue as the mayor of Vista. While the candidates expressed their own personal goals and ideas, they also discussed similar issues they all felt needed adjustment.

Also discussed was the fact that these additional structures will boost the economy and possibly make Vista a more enjoyable city to live in.

With the audience asking more specific questions to their needs, each candidate talked for an additional three to five minutes in an attempt to answer their queries, While most in attendance were satisfied with the question and answer period, others were not. Clearly discontent grew among some members in attendance as certain candidates deployed obvious question-dodging maneuvers in an attempt to walk around questions at all costs. Sensitive or controversial subjects, such as the homeless population, homeless shelters downtown, and the building of new youth develDON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDDIES, I Upon meeting with random community businessmen and women after the event, it appeared that more thorough speeches, and addressing more specific issues and possible outcomes, might have been appreciated, while others were satisfied with what they were presented.

In a pre-9-11 world, this act would have been thought of not only as unthinkable, but more likely as a Hollywood stoiy line than an event that was to grip our nation unlike any in history. The endless news coverage assaulted us with images and stories of this horrific event and it was through these images that we identified with what happened - live video from three thousand miles away. It seemed surreal, too great to comprehend because hi our own backyard life was, for all intents and purposes.. .normal. It was easy to watch the smoldering ruins of two hundred and twenty stories and realize what an impact it would have. What would it be like to be there, to actually see first hand the destruction that has been wrought and the impact on the people of New York? Television can only show so much, it cannot accu* rately portray the feeling in th$ air, nor would it have the effect of witnessing firsthand what had really happened. For New Year's Day of 2002, a friend and I decided that we should witness first hand what had befallen our country. happened. Our hopes for seeing anything were becoming bleak as we noticed a line stretched from St. Mark's cathedral, heading north into the city. We started walking along the line looking for the end but it just kept going. It stretched for two city blocks then took an abrupt left and continued down for another four to the edge of the site then c u ^ J back up again. We got i nlii^Smewhere around here and settled down for what seemed like a long wait. This was the coldest I could ever remember being. I was growing frustrated with the howling wind, against which my scarf seemed defenseless. It was then that it hit me. One of the many Shrines created as a memorial for those who lost their lives during the terror attacks one year ago . New York in the winter is as beautiful as it is cold. There's a certain appeal from the leafless tress and frost covered grass. As in the movies, many of the buildings are dirty and old but when set upon the white winter sky, they have a romantic appeal that screams "This is New York!' Our plan was to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center site and hopefully not get chased off by 'New York's finest.' It w asn't until we \yere in Times Square on New Year's Eve that we learned a public viewing platform had been opened earlier that day. Packed in with half a million other people it was-the topic of much conversation. Some did not want to go because they felt it was sacrilegious while others could not wait for the chance to see the awesome spectacle of destruction. Most however wanted to pay their respects, like a never ending memorial service, a form of prayer, and a word of silence, remembrance. The New Year rang in with red, white and blue confetti and a personal address from Mayor Rudolph Giulianni, who said that after September 11, we were all New Yorkers. marked for September 15 but never opened for consumers to take advantage, a closed coffee shop with 9-11 specials still in the window helps serve as a reminder that this area was completely shut down. Signs of life were becoming apparent as we made our way to the observation platform; the scene transformed from a bleak, empty reminder to the bustle that New York is associated with, only this time it was different. The cab ride was easy. We simply told him that we wanted to get as close as possible to the World Trade Center as possible. He nodded, having heard this many times already, and in silence we made our way to New York's financial district. Despite the cold, the sun was shinning brightly, reflecting off of huge office windows from the buildings still left in Wall Street. We were dropped off east of the World Trade Center on the edge Cabs were busy picking people off Battery Park. up and dropping them off but for one very different reason. They From there we made our way were coming to see just what had west, walking alongside the site and catching glimpses of the destruction in between buildings. What was really catching was the numerous businesses that were closed on 9-11 and became a kind of time capsule - a shoe store with a sale in the window The wind had yet to bother me in New York but standing next to a sixteen square acre hole, it swept through the site with a fury and without the towers to buffet it, it attacked at will. After two and a half hours of eternity and a chin I knew I had but could not feel, we made it back to the main street and started our slow procession towards the viewing platform. The sunshine seemed to have faded, replaced by gloom as slowly we marched and then all the various memorials left by family and well-wishers invaded our senses. Candles were still burning around make-shift signs and computer printouts of missing friends, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. I wasn't feeling the cold from the wind anymore, just the piercing chill of these haunting images of smiling faces that would never again see the light of day. An old, rusty bicycle was chained to a light post and it seemed odd that the owner had not claimed it. Looking closer, there was no owner to claim. It too was a memorial, adorned in flowers and a rosary with a sign X anse» SSSSf**^SSSi»S ** • ' illHIS IHifB tini C I Photo Montage By DESMOND BARCA Sii. l I» i * I . aijg^ f ttflil 3:.i « t i 3 mil ;H «ï\ 3*i i *J 3 %t * » ; ' ** % t �The construction continues at ground zero of the World Trade Center attack. paying tribute to the bike messengers who had lost their lives. It was strange: the news portrayed, endlessly, the fallen heroes of the Fire and Police department but you did not hear much about the little guys. That got me thinking, what about the janitors, the cooks, and the maintenance guys? There must have been thousands of these people that were equally affected by that terrible day. St. Mark's was an active recovery center for the World Trade Center. Exhaustedfirefightersand rescue workers made their way in and out and a hand painted sign on plywood made it explicitly clear that the entrance was to remain clear of people. We were almost there and we came upon the biggest memorial yet. Hundreds of pictures of missing people and signs of encouragement of shared grief from all across the country. Every state was represented here, every American from every ethnic group and culture. It was not that the memorial was so massive; it is that the depth and scope of it was. Some looked on in shock, others buried their heads in their hands and sobbed, while still others looked visibly angry.

Most kept their heads down, it could be said to avoid the wind, but I like to think it was out of respect. Police inform you when you get to the actual viewing stage that you have three minutes and three minutes only. They were serious. I saw them usher away many loiters except for one woman who was sobbing uncontrollably. They did not have it in them to tell her that time was up. It was easy to boot someone who had just snapped off twenty seven pictures and was reload" ing yet another roll of film, but how do you tell someone who is looking wildly into the crowd, through her tears of grief that it's time to go? Standing on the edge of the makeshift platform, it's impossible to believe what happened. I was right. Watching it on T.V. makes it seem small and unconnected. One of my first thoughts was that planes didn't do this, someone dropped about a hundred bombs. It looked like a war zone. The pile of rubble was obvious and backhoes normally 50 feet tall were so deep in the site you could only see the top of their buckets. Most of the surrounding buildings had half their windows blown out except for one. It was an older building, roughly forty feet high and made of concrete. It was melted. It looked like sulfuric acid had been dumped all over it and like a candle left lit overnight had just melted away. The human mind was not designed to take in a scene like ^rn^mmmmmmthis. 1: * SS*ftJ tlfflplt S*r so horrifying was that when you looked at a picture of a missing loved one, you could almost see them in daily life and you knew it easily could have been you. *»**•*! »••«• ****** ***** ***** T**»** ***** :V " t i l " . + ***** Imagine all of Qualcom stadium and the parking lot gone, just...gone.

Walking down the exit ramp people had scrawled messages on the plywood offering hope and unity with New York. There were thousands of them, yet the platform had not been open even twenty-four hours.. .amazing.

"American Idol" took America by storm when it made its world premiere on June 11, at 9:00pm on Fox. Two nights a week, millions of viewers stayed glued to the TV to find out which potential Superstar hopeful would be ousted next. M aking The viewers called in each week to determine who gave a star-studded performance and who gave a not-so-stellar performance. Whether your favorite was RJ Helton, A.J, Gil, or the obvious sex kitten of the bunch, Ryan Starr, most viewers had their top three of who they thought would win. From an overwhelming group of surveys and public opinion, it was plain to see that Kelly Clarkson, Tamyra Gray, and Justin Guarini were the favorites who were predicted to make it to the grand finale show. of a shocking vote on Wed.

Now the process is, for the most part, beyond the student. Registration and Records enters the application information into Banner (an administrative software system), and the yellow copy of the application is sent to advising. Imagine the deflated sense of accomplishment and the disruption to one's life that this would cause. Careers may have to be put on hold or even simply impeded. Relocating back to the San Diego area is likely necessary. And, one must find the financial resources and time to devote to reenrollment. Now let us see what the graduation 'technician' is up to. She or he runs a report to determine who has applied and reapplied for graduation. Each applicant's file is pulled from advising. Banner is checked to see if the applicant has transcripts that need to be copied from Registration and Records. Along with the retrieval of any and all necessary transcripts, approved alternate course agreements, independent study contracts and incomplete agreements are also gathered into the student's folder. I am sending this letter for a couple reasons. First of all, there is erroneous information contained within the article on HALO ("The Low Down on Halo") in the Arts section of The Pride's September 10 issue. The author wrote that it is possible to play through the levels cooperatively with up to sixteen players, he is wrong. With more than two players you can only play against each other, not against the aliens. Also, he failed to mention the online capabilities of HALO. out, goes to the cashier's office to pay fees (because apparently tuition is hot sufficient to cover paper processing), then back to Registration and Records to turn in the completed application. But then they get a phone call from Registration and Records, interrupting that next phase. The student is informed that "due to an error," they must return to the university to fully complete their requirements, and their degree is invalid until having done so. Editors: One student to whom this revocation happened inquired as to why he should come back, being that the physical degree was already in his possession. He-was told that his degree is now invalid, to be considered a forged document. So he returned to CSUSM to watch an employee in the Registration office shred his diploma, and he reluctantly handed over his tuition for the upcoming semester. \v Ü ÄI Lead Editor Lead Editor Design Editor Ifews EdStw OpiiiiQO Editor Spanish Editor Feature Editor * Arts Editor Sports a litor Graduate Intern Copy Editor Msiness Manager Advisor ...I would like to challenge him.

And yet, we still cannot be sure that once that degree is in hand, it is ours to keep. So where does that leave us? It leaves us second-guessing the determinations of the people being paid to advise us because they cannot invariably be relied upon. It leaves us to be extra cautious about our own graduation planning. And, well, in some unfortunate cases it leaves us plain SOL, as the saying goes. The author of the article also mentioned that he is up for a battle with anyone who thinks they can play and that he is the HALO champion.

Last week, student Lorraine Puckett was unable to get her wheelchair out of her van because someone had parked on the blue lines of the handicap space. People who turn the blue lines of a handicap space into makeshift parking spaces are asking for a very expensive ticket. CSUSM President Gonzalez explained that our parking situation is complicated because the state does not subsidize parking services in any way. Parking services must be completely selfsupporting. Gonzalez explained that to build the six planned parking structurés, no state funds can be used. Money for construction of die structures must come from parking services through substantial increases in parking fees. Gonzalez also explained that parking structures are extremely expensive to build. It breaks down to something like 12-18 thousand dollars per space. Therefore, if a structure had 1000 spaces, at $12,000 per space, that equals 12 million dollars for one structure. And that's the low end of the money spectrum. Gonzalez assures students that there is a committee currently working on the parking issue and looking at alternative areas and solutions. Gonzalez is waiting for the committee to report back to him with their recommendations. school, they'll be able to park because it's not going to happen while we are here. That is unless we can find a philanthropist whose ego would permit having a parking garage named after him. •Enrollment statistics are not official until the census is taken at the end of September. 6900 represents the opening day enrollment.

However, he never went to either of these places.

The missile sent was an unmanned Minute Man III, and its destination was the Marshal Islands, thousands of miles away in the central Pacific Ocean. Weather experts say that the time of the launch and the clear weather conditions, played a significant role in creating the "twi- light affect" that many people saw that night. As the missile climbed to enormous altitudes, the vapor trail left behind the missile froze. Consequently, the rays coming from the still setting sun caught the frozen vapor particles, sending off a reddishwhite hue. Matty, from the Matty Show on 91X radio said that the United States Air Force (USAF) does inform the media about missile launches that are supposed to occur in the area. However, he stated that the releases regarding the launches are very vague. Apparently the USAF told 91X that there would be a launch sometime in September between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Not only is this a very broad window for a scheduled test, but it was also late, albeit only by a half an hour. Many students leaving Academic Hall noticed the event, and there was a strange mixture of emotions in the air. It was a combination of apprehension, awe, and amazement. Only after they realized that there was no apparent danger did it become apparent that the event was merely both an awesome and powerful spectacle. Official Air Force photo.

Tough Time with Skate Parks in San Marcos By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer There are no skate parks in San Marcos, leaving the entire population of extreme sports participants, including skateboarders, inline skaters, and bikers, with no legal place to practice their sport. "There are no future plans for a skate park in San Marcos," explained Mayor of San Marcos F.H. "Corky" Snitb. However, Smith alluded to a new public park being built off of the 78freeway exit at Nordahl Road that should be complete by Janu- ary 2003. At the new San Marcos park, there would be an assigned area (approximately half the size of a basketball court) for local children and teenagers to ride their equipment. In this area, there would be no ramps, rails, or ledges to ride or grind on - that leavesflatground. This new park will not be a skate park because it will lack ramps, rails, and ledges, thus leaving public property as one of the few options for extreme sports participants to use. substantial amount of vandalism on our property. Such an example of vandalism is displayed in this photograph of a ledge at CSUSM. The marks on the ledge can be from bikers, inline skaters, or skate boarders. However, the fact remains that public property is being damaged, which is a common complaint that Bill Schramm, from the city of San Marcos Community Service department, is hearing from the San Marcos community. Schramm asserted that in the future of San Marcos, as many At CSUSM, there has been a as 24 new parks could be built, that may or may not include skate parks. He also said that construction of a skate park would not be worth the hassle, because local children and teens would still practice their sports on public property, even if skate parks were built. However, Robert Levienos of San Marcos, who is a professional inline skater, feels that a new skate park in San Marcos would encourage him and other extreme sports participants to refrain from practicing on public property, because they would have a place to legally skate. If there are no plans, there Damage to wall from skate boarding in front of University Hall. Photo by Desmond Barca For any questions or informamay not be a skate park in the future of San Marcos.

Clever Cultural B y AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer CSUSM is well known for its cultural diversity, both in education and in population, and it is this unique quality that enhances the campus' cultural experience. Professors like Deborah Small, Sonia Ruiz, and David Avalos eagerly devote their time and efforts to educating students about different cultures, and in a sense, opening up the world to them. This university offers many such opportunities to explore the wide varieties of people on the planet without even leaving the campus. tures (VPA 311) introduces students to a variety of cultures from around the world through various art forms, such as film, music, dance, and writing. This unique course utilizes the talents of several instructors, with Small acting as the "cheerleader for her colleagues," as she put it. With a new instructor every week, this course is more like a fun day at the cultural arts center rather than a required course. Tessa Allen, a CSUSM junior, enjoys going to World Cultures class because "it is so diverse, and it covers all mediums of art."

The CAMP program offers academic, personal and financial support, followed by mentoring opportunities for the second year to help students complete their baccalaureate degree and a subsequent teaching credential for those who choose teaching as a career.

In 1999 the CAMP program was included as part of the Clinton administration's "Hispanic Education Action Plan." The program's funding increased significantly. "Currently, within our migrant service area there are over 1,200 migrant students who are eligible for CAMP. Additionally, there are migrant students in the Imperial Valley, Southern Riverside County, and Southern San Diego County who are not served by a current camp grant and who would be eligible to participate in the Cal State San Marcos program.

By now, most students have seen their syllabuses and have acknowledged the 10-20 page research paper due at the end of the semester and immediately put it in the back of their minds, to be thought about around week 13 or 14. Probably not the best idea, and for any new students, be prepared: the professors are looking for good papers and here's a big clue, they know the difference. Acknowledging students' tendencies toward procrastination mixed with mega fears about writing, I was determined to find out how to write a good paper. Yvonne Muelemans, the Science Librarian, and Judith Downing, the Humanitarian Librarian, explained how to find out the best ways to research papers along with the biggest challenges students encounter trying to get these papers done. Muelemans responded, "Students don't give themselves enough time, even for simple things, suqh as copying and downloading articles." All these little nitty-gritty things take time and can cause a lot of problems. Waiting for the last minute only to find out that when you arrive in the library the server is down can put students into a tailspin. This does not happen a lot, but it can happen - and it can when you wish it had not. Another thing to look out for is although Cal State San Marcos has around 200,000 volumes To Research encounter students whose topic is either too broad, too narrow, not clear or the student is not sure of the assignment. I have actually had students come in and say 'I need to write a history paper.' That would be too broad. And other students want the product, the grade, and don't want to do the process. The process is the education.... once the student is clear on the topic and they start getting the information or research needed for the Also, CSUSM is part of the paper, that's when the assign"Circuit" which includes San ment becomes interesting and Diego State University, UC San the learning takes place."

So if students are doing a search and the volume needed is in the Annex, the book needs to be ordered. The book will arrive within 24 hours on campus but there is that time issue, meaning if the deadline is the next day students might be out of luck. So try to plan ahead and start the research early.

El motivo de su visita a la clase fue para hablar de sus experiencias, retos y éxitos obtenidos a lo largo de su carrera como persona de negocios al contestar las preguntas del público asistente en ACD 102. Para Carrie Maxwell, estudiante de SSM 482D, esta clase es básicamente para ayudar a los estudiantes con licenciatura en negocios a tener más conocimiento en esa área. Figueroa obtuvo su maestría en Negocios en Ucrania. Él trabajó como contador privado y como contadorfiscalen el gobierno de México. Además, Figueroa en su trabajo como cónsul ha vivido en cuatro países diferentes incluyendo los Estados Unidos. El miedo, para Figueroa, es el peor enemigo de cualquier persona. El cual, de acuerdo con él, se debe reconocer que existe, pero al mismo tiempo manejarlo y superarlo. Esto cambiará la vida de las personas que lo hagan. mayor reto en su vida ha sido entender lo que pasaba alrededor de él y lo que pasaba en el mundo en la época de los 70s cuando la vida fácil que conocía cambio de repente. Figueroa expresó que su mayor error sería mezclar las emociones con la razón. También dijo a los estudiantes que para evitar los errores y tener éxito en la vida personal y profesional se necesita tener humildad para reconocer que se cometió un error y estar en contra de la codicia. A Figueroa se le pidió un consejo por el público asistente para balancear la vida personal con la profesional. Él contestó que él era una persona egoísta y que si tenía que trabajar en domingo lo hacía pero que le gustaba respetar su vida privada y que si lo invitaban a jugar golf, se iba. De acuerdo con Figueroa, el También dijo que siempre trataba de combinar su vida privada con su trabajo, siempre buscando la manera de estar cerca de su familia. Otro de los consejos dados por Figueroa fue que las personas deben de ser ellos mismos y escuchar pero no creer todo lo que escuchen. Él añadió que hay una razón para todo, e invitó al público a cuestionarse y a abrirse a los demás.

N o es que crea que la sentencia contra la nigeriana es injusta, porque lo considero totalmente injusto y creó que el veredicto debe de ser revocado. A continuación entenderán a lo que me refiero con la situación de las mujeres en México y en la cual Fox se necesita enfocar en lugar de criticar a otras naciones. Hace dos años que México espera un gran cambio social, político y económico con la nueva presidencia del Panista Vicente Fox. Sin embargo, este cambio parece no estar tomando lugar o va a un paso lentísimo incapaz de ser visto ni con el mayor lente magnificado. La corrupción, la pobreza, y la falta de empleo al igual que la violación a los derechos humanos siguen presentes en la sociedad mexicana. N o obstante, el presidente Fox hace alarde de Desde 1993 en Ciudad su presidencia y de los logros Juárez, Chihuahua, México, obtenidos, los cuales jamás han alrededor de 2 84 mujeres han sido vistos por los mexicanos. sido encontradas muertas y hay aproximadamente 450 La gota que derramó el vaso desaparecidas. D e las mujeres y que me impulsó a escribir encontradas muertas, algunas esta carta fue el haber visto han sido golpeadas, violadas, y escuchado a Fox decirle al mutiladas, o apuñaladas y país de Nigeria cómo tratar arrojadas en cualquier parte a las mujeres. En especial, de la ciudad, Mientras que él se estaba enfocando en la de las desaparecidas no se nigeriana que fue sentenciada sabe absolutamente nada. Sin a morir apedreada por tener un embargo, Fox no ha usado su hijo fuera del matrimonio. Fox poder como presidente para pidió a Nigeria que cambiara exigir al gobierno de la ciudad, esta sentencia. Sin embargo, lo municipal y estatal de Chihuahua que él olvida e s que en su propio y mucho menos al gobierno país hay muchas violaciones a federal para investigar estas los derechos humanos. Sobre numerosas muertes tan trágicas. todo en contra de las mujeres Muchas de estas mujeres asesinadas y desaparecidas trabajaban en maquiladoras, usualmente de noche, para poder ganar un sueldo y darles de comer a sus familias. Tristemente para muchas de ellas, debido a la falta de empleo en el país, esta era su única opción de trabajo. Esto me hace recordar otro punto por el que Fox todavía no ha cumplido, y eso que ya ha tenido dos años en la presidencia. Me refiero a la pobreza que se ha incrementado en los últimos dos años debido a la falta de empleo y salarios justos; pero no puedo profundizar en esta ocasión debido a la complejidad del caso. Sobre las promesas de Fox, como decimos en México solo me resta decir que "de lengua me como un taco." e internacional, no hay más de 30 muertes resueltas. Además, de los pocos sospechosos detenidos de cometer estos asesinatos, hay grandes dudas sobre la verdad de su culpabilidad ya que muchos los consideran chivos expiatorios que el gobierno ha usado para aparentar resolver los casos cuando en realidad esto no es cierto. En lugar de estar perdiendo el tiempo pidiéndole al presidente Bush por una amnistía para que más mexicanos puedan venir a trabajar a EE.UU., Fox debería de atender mejor la situación interna y caótica de México. Debería de establecer un mejor gobierno con una justicia verdadera al igual que abrir más fuentes de trabajo para evitar que sus conciudadanos tengan que abandonar su país y en la mayoría de las ocasiones a sus familias. Entiendo que un presidente no puede cambiar décadas de corrupción y malfunción social, política y económica; pero, el esfuerzo que un presidente haga durante su gobierno, definitivamente ayudará mucho a mejorar la situación en el futuro. Hace alrededor de dos meses, las familias de todas estas mujeres asesinadas y perdidas, pidieron justicia para encontrar a los culpables de tantas muertes, y ayuda para encontrar a aquellas todavía desaparecidas. Sin embargo, esto pareció no haber sido escuchado por la justicia mexicana y mucho menos por Fox ya que todavía son muy pocos los culpables o sospechosos acusados de tantas muertes. Mi mensaje para el presidente D e acuerdo con cifras oficiales publicadas por la prensa nacional Fox es que empiece por demandar en México, antes que en ningún otro país, las violaciones de derechos humanos al igual que los crímenes contra las mujeres, que tristemente no sólo acento o pasan en Chihuahua sino en muchos otros estados mexicanos y que sean penalizados duramente y justamente por la ley. En lugar de exigir que otros países hagan esto, ponga usted el ejemplo para entonces poder tener derecho y la desvergüenza de exigirlo en otros países. Como ciudadana mexicana preocupada por la situación en mi país y como ciudadana del mundo, exijo que estas muertes y desapariciones no queden impunes y que los culpables sean encontrados y llevados a la justicia verdadera, que también se necesita establecer en México. Si ni siquiera usted hace respetar los derechos civiles de las mujeres en su propio país, ¿qué cara tiene para exigir que otros lo hagan? Ponga un buen ejemplo ante sus colegas en lugar de exigir algo que ni siquiera usted hace por las personas de su país. N o se olvide que el buen presidente por su país empieza.

The event was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition on Hollywood Boulevard, and drew art collectors as well as thousands of fans each waiting up to five hours to meet Manson, engage in some light chitchat, and shake Manson's hand. The event entitled "The Golden Age of the Grotesque", which by the way is the title of Manson's new album in progress, ran from Thursday to Saturday. I arrived on Friday at 10 p.m., by then nearly half the painting were marked sold. The paintings ranged from $1,000 to $50,000. Over all it was quite an event, with a parade of humanity ranging from Manson and his beautiful entourage all decked out in immaculate wardrobe and make up, to art collectors to Goth rockers, punks, to regular Joes. On Thursday, actors Sean Penn and Jason Lee attended the exclusive engagement. Manson's paintings were reminiscent of 19th centuries German expressionism, many of which were similar to stylistically to the work of Egon Shiele. Among the self portraits and portraits of celebrities including his significant other Dita Von Tooco were subjects tVint were enKi^tc that wwp Teese, clearly intended as social satire. The satirical paintings included a hermaphrodite nude of Hitler, a version of Superman entitled Ubermensch and a self-portrait in which Manson depicts himself as a creepy version of Mickey Mouse. Thought the event was free, in order to meet Manson and get an autograph, fans had to purchase one of Manson's limited editions, lithographs or posters, the cheapest ones starting at $20 apiece. One of Manson's fans, Julia Velasco of Pomona, complained that she had to spend $160 in order for everyone in her party to meet Manson. Though some of the attendees were irritated by the commercialism associated with the event, most seemed appreciative. Outside, I talked to Lexa Vonn, of the rock group Ophelia Rising. Vonn was handing out CDs to promote her band and commended Manson for his loyalty to his fans. Concerning Manson's paintings, Vonn Pointed out that they look much better in person than on the web. Another fan I talked to, Naokol Matsumoto, told me that she came to the U.S. two years ago to learn English for the express purpose of communicating with Marilyn Manson. All of the images shown here are of original paintings by Marilyn Manson.

Manson keeps interested in seeing Manson's most of them can be viewed grotesque/ and updated Journal on his website. In his online journal Manson had this to say about his exhibition: "I paint scabs. Cover wounds, encased in scars. Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Imprisoned in jails that are owned by the Bourgeois who treat them like criminals...Kunsts! Talking about them and not to them." And in reference to his upcoming album under the same name Manson says, "the understanding of my art is only the sad product of journalism. Fuck art. I am art." Currently there are not show dates available for Manson's upcoming tour On his influences, Manson had this to say, "My inspiration for this record came from historic parallels to my own present position in popular culture. Most notably, I found myself fascinated with the overwhelming imaginative, sexually-depraved artistic chaos that just bled from some of history's greatest minds as Berlin reached its creative extreme peak. The unfortunate onset of rigid control and conformity that brought Berlin to its fiery end seemed to almost mirror today's less violent, but equally ignorant censorship and Manson is much more than just a shock rocker, as he is so often referred to as in the media. I've read his autobiography, listened to his albums, seen his music videos, listened to interviews, and now I've seen his paintings. Listening to Manson talk, it is evident that he is extremely intelligent and articulate. Given the range of his artist: interests and ability, the fact that he has had such a widespread influence on pop culture as well as rallied himself into a lucrative industry, isn't very surprising. The term Shock Rocker, doesn't describe him as well as "artist". Regardless of personal taste, Manson's art challenges anyone willing to put their biases away and take art for what it is worth; an intellectual stimulus that forces us to think and open our minds. People who don't understand Manson, or think his art is gratuitous or only done for shock value, are people who have judged him prematurely; people clearly have the right to dismiss art without bothering to investigate, or make an informed judgment, but in my opinion passing judgment in this way is irresponsible and relates back to what Manson is rebelling against in thefirstplace. Anyone who has the time to examine contemporary art in depth will at the very least respect Manson's accomplishments as well as his courage and determination under heavy criticism, even if they don't care for his art or music. �Gaming On-Line Style By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer First off, this is a piece of those of you who scoffed at the two previous articles concerting Halo for the Xbox. I know many students and individuals play games on the Playstation, Gamecube, and Xbox, but console games are only a small vein when it comes to tapping into the resource of true gaming. Yes, I'm talking about the PC and online gaming. Taking nothing away from console games, they are fun and will occupy the bored, but if you enjoy gaming to it's fullest, the PC is where it's at, if you don't already know. Console games are desired and are always being updated for better graphics, game play, and the new move to playing them online. However, the bottom line is, no matter how high tech these consoles become, the computer is, and will be light years ahead of them as far as performance is concerned.

As a Literature and Writing major at California State University San Marcos, I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity. Oftentimes, while I am sitting in these classes, I find myself wondering why the university has chosen to teach this school of thought in a way that points fingers at cultural differences. After the class lecture is over, I never feel more connected to someone else of the selected ethnic background of the day, but instead I feel further removed. Take for example a class like LTWR 450, Multiethnic American Literature. The course outline for this class says that it is a class that offers a "Comparison of various ethnic American discourses such as African American, Jewish American, Latino American, [and] Japanese American." To title this course Multiethnic American Literature is a slap in the face to all of the wonderful writers incorporated into the syllabus. Why not title this course simply American Literature? Why must the university tag this course as Multiethnic? Are they saying that all of the authors that we read in United States Literature 309A and 309B have the same ethnic background and that that those backgrounds are not ethnic? The fact that they must separate this course, and tag it as multiethnic, shows the real lack of progress in cultural diversity at this university. I grew up in New York, where nobody ever spoke of cultural diversity. It was common to have neighbors of different ethnic backgrounds, but the idea was that they were your neighbors. Not your Jewish neighbors, or your Latino neighbors, or your African American Neighbors, but simply the neighbors nextdoor. The fact that they may have come a hundred years ago from some other country did not matter and was never talked about. K. Anthony Appiah, a professor at Harvard University, said in one of his lectures that "American cultural distinctions cannot be understood in terms of the concept of race: the only race in thé United States, is the human race." He goes on to say "there is danger in making racial identities too central to our conceptions of ourselves; while there is a place for racial identities in a world that is shaped by racism, I shall argue, if we are to move beyond racism we shall have to move beyond current racial identities." Liberal It is your lucky day. You may be asking yourself, "Why, Matt?" Well it is because today you are going to hear the other side of the story. Last week's commentary "Comedy Hour on NPR" by Erik Roper contained much comedic value. First joke, he said President Bush is our "illegally appointed president." That's funny because several liberal media outlets sponsored their own recount of Florida ballots and wouldn't ya know it, Bush still won. The media, except for Fox News, said nothing! Here is a good book: Bias by Bernard Goldberg which tells about liberal media bias and how Dan Rather gives you only what he wants you to hear. Comedy and France pay 5 - 8 %. Right now you may be saying "Wow Matt that is amazing." And you're darnrightit is. A 1996 GAO report stated that we spent $6.6 billion on peacekeeping operations since 1992 and yet we have only been accredited with $1.8 billion of that money. So under the United Nations Erroneous Dept. Act, we stopped paying dues until our overpayments have been credited or reimbursed. Oh God Bless the United Nations which is also one of the leading exporters of abortion to thirdworld countries where abortion is hidden under names like "family planning" and "women'srights."The United Nations was also a key player in China's Second joke, the author did not brutal one child policy that has know why America "feels it killed small children and has should be exempt from paying created a sexual imbalance. dues." For the past 50 years, America has contributed 25% of At this point you should all the UN budget. China paid less be upset and not because I am than 1%. Russia, Great Britain, conservative but because we are paying with our taxes and with our people (military) for a world authority. Call me a crazy member of the right wing conspiracy, but a world under the control of a global government scares me and the freedom that has been preserved by my dad, grandpa, and forefathers is at risk. It is like "Ripley's Believe It Or Not," but the U N has already created a world court and has been given American soil by our previous president. So, next time you watch liberals on TV remember this - they think, "you are ignorant and possibly even stupid" because you listen to one side of the story and believe it. Matt Cotton CAUSC Student If CSUSM wants to celebrate diversity, they should do so by incorporation not by isolation. There is no reason to have a class called Multiethnic American Literature. These texts, if they are worthy of being studied, should be incorporated into the United States Literature course because they are an equal part of American Literature and not a separate part. The University's program right now is at the same place the Civil Rights movement was forty years ago when the thought was separate but equal. We have come to know that separate is never equal, why hasn't the universityfiguredthat out?

However, this semester my view is being drastically changed and it is being altered in the form of an overflow of cramped and ridiculous parking! Basically as I read the article from last week's Pride, I gathered the truth of the ugliness of our parking. There is only 2,000 parking spaces on campus and yet the school has admitted approx. 6,900 students. Each student is required to on Parkin found that the parking situation is becoming tolerable and many hope that the congestion will die down after the add/drop period. However, the numbers don't lie and class sizes are not dropping as much as they are increasing, which is another article all together! That fact is that after September 26, 2002, curb parking will no longer be allowed, as well as stack parking to soon follow. Though I understand the red curb's disallowance due to fire hazard (though overlooked in the past 3 weeks), the unmarked curbs and stack parking is desperately needed. The student's money should be seen in action pay sixty-two dollars a semes- dents that have permits park in and not with parking tickets.

Though I Illingworth, like many students, our last week in the happy place know many students that do not has to work before school and so of parking, which many consider pay for these permits and walk to the time to locate a parking spot hell. Another thought to ponder school from various near-by des- is between five tofifteenminis that the faculty also parks on tinations such as Ralph's and the utes. In that time span, students the curbs as Afton Porter pointed overflow, I chose to pay and be are lucky if they can even get out, "The faculty will now be near school.

I challenge you in the overflow. Why should stu- I'm sure many of you have, and CSUSM students to not take this lying down or walking down but to strike. The strike that I am proposing is not as shocking as it sounds. My suggestion is for the following week, the week of Sept. 30- Oct. 4., students should continue to park on curbs and in the dirt. Red curbs can be avoided due to the fire hazard, after all those areas only contain five or so spaces. When parking make sure to place this article under the windshield wipers in plain sight so when a ticket is being considered they will see the true parking permit, the student's voice. These tickets are only meaningful to those giving them and those receiving the profit. My thoughts are that the school cannot justly give tickets to everyone unless they decide to give us all refunds on the permits that they are not properly practicing. Everyone needs to participate. We have no choice. Don't let the last freedom of speech be in our parents' generation, stand up for our rights and what we've paid for! NICHOLE JESTER Senior, LTWR GSUSM T raffic: S elf-inflicted Chaos By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Could it be possible that inconveniently scheduled class times are what lie at the root of the current traffic problem? Most students have little choice as to what classes they need to take; they must complete the courses required for their major in order to graduate. With this in mind, you would think that the university would schedule similarly required classes close together during the day so that students could easily end one class and begin another and then be done for the day. Unfortunately, this is that there would be less congesnot the case at CSUSM. tion and more convenience if they could keep the similarly It seems that everywhere you required classes close together. go on campus you will hear some- Could one of the main traffic one complaining about parking problems be the absurd amount and someone else complaining of students that start early in about how long their days are the morning and leave their car at school, perhaps these two parked in the lot all day so that issues are secretly intertwined. they can catch their nighttime Classes at CSUSM are scheduled class without having to lose their haphazardly, some early while spot or even worse, risk not being others late, even when they are able to get another one later? all required of the same major. Why would you spread them out Apparently classes are offered so far apart? You would think at extreme times to facilitate the that it would be obvious to the learning of students who are people who schedule the classes working full-time while attend- Dear Editors: I found your recent edition in extremely poor taste and appallingly insensitive to the family and friends of Alex Zingaro. Why in the world would you place Mucky Mouse in Suicide in this issue? It lacks humor, subtlety, or thoughtful commentary, as well as informed spelling and punctuation-so what's the point? This is no mouse, it's a sewer rat. Actually, why would you want such tasteless inanity in our college publication at all? I sincerely hope neither the community nor the Zingaro family sees this issue; do the right thing and pull itfromthe stands. There's no pride here. Pam Horner L ETTERS This letter is in response to the letter sent by Pam Horner. I have had classes with Pam and have always admired her intellect and contributions to class discussions. Her letter to the editor was both justified and well composed. As the creator of Mucky Mouse I would like to respond to Pam's letter in this way: I would not have submitted Mucky Mouse to the Pride last week if I had learned about the Zingaro death earlier. The comic was not a response to his death, and was drawn prior to his disappearance. Mucky Mouse in Suicide preceded the news of Alex's death and was left in the paper accidentally. I myself did not imagine a connection between ing college. Is this really necessary? Should the greater student population cater to the needs of a select few? And to those people who must waste their entire days sitting around campus awaiting their next class, which may be up to nine hours later, is it fair that you must wait just so you have a guaranteed parking space? believe it is the lack of spaces as much as it is poor class scheduling. If classes were scheduled in blocks, every few hours a ton of spaces would open up for the next block of students to go to class. Maybe the real problem is being overlooked; maybe the real problem has to do with poor scheduling. There is definitely an underlying problem in the parking s ituation, and I do not the comic and the tragic death positive objectives, which I feel less.

Normally, it fronts as a small computer store, run by former Lieutenant Governor candidate, Ron J. Like. It sits on Coast Highway in Oceanside, surrounded by many other 'Ma and Pa' businesses. Walking inside, the diversity is almost as great as the different stores that make up this neighborhood. Like's software is available on the only aisle and is flanked by other computers in various stages of use. The far wall contains several paintings and if visitors look close, they will recognize a Rembrandt and a Monet but not the kind that will bring millions, but copies that have been painted by Like. The store has that 'lived in' feel that only a small business can bring and is fast disappearing from the American landscape. In this comfortable, yet quirky room, two men, Like and Byron were planning to make a run at congress under the decent and respectable ticket. against it because many of their companies were profiting from doing business with Iraq, Byron quickly said that Vice-President Dick Cheney had run Halliburton quite successfully while doing business with Iraq during the 90s even with the sanctions After we seated ourselves in and embargos in place. two easy chairs, he began to talk about politics and the first thing Spreading democracy to that came up was Iraq and the other countries especially in the president's determination to go Middle East was another topic in with force.

Byron Byron also pointed out that also mentioned that any operathe former U.S.S.R., China and tion in Iraq will cost hundreds North Korea all have nuclear of billions of dollars over the weapons or are trying to get next ten years and the budget them and the U.S. has not might not be able to come out of attacked them. He then brought a deficit. He mentioned that this up that the Europeans were not could be crippling to social secubehind us or anyone else for rity, Medicare and other social that matter besides Tony Blair, services. England's prime minister. After pointing out that Europeans were that candidates that obtain five percent of the vote in the qualifying elections will then receive a certain amount of campaign money from the state yet, there would be a limit to the amount on private funds. Byron also wants to "reempower" congress and let them do what they are supposed to do, which is debate over what i s best for this country. Byron also talked about his students telling him that they feel like their vote won't make a difference. However, he wants to let them know that for once, yes, it will. CSUSM Professor, Dr Mike Byron 1 When asked what were some of the things that could be done tofightthe war on terror and how to stop terrorism from spreading, Byron offered a profound quote. "Happy people don't make history, we need to be fostering conditions for meaningful, fair international trade. We can be setting the conditions for democracy but we can't impose it, we can only provide the model for opportunity. People in the Middle East are stuck, give them the opportunity." Given the fact that in the Middle East, 65 percent of the population is between 15 and 25 with almost no job prospects, this recipe is more fitting than sending in random troops. Many of these people are college educated yet work as street vendors because there's no employment. With regards to foreign policy, Taiwan became another topic of discussion. The current administration in Taiwan is dedicated to keeping it independent from China and is even conducting a secret deal for eight new 'Dolphin' class submarines. Byron responded that since president Truman went to China in 1971 and signed the Taiwan Relations Act, every president since him has been committed to the act, which guarantees one China and the peaceful return of Taiwan. Byron said that we should stay committed to that. "What we should be doing is facilitating the foundations of modernity and democracy with the Chinese, we do that, the problem fades," he said. Byron also added that the number one issue with regards to domestic policies was the political system. "The political system, it should be one person, one vote, now it's one dollar, one vote," he said. He pointed out that in the '96 elections had the most money spent and the most votes recorded. He quoted P.J. O'Rourke and his reference that we have turned into a 'Parliament of Whores' because we pay so much attention to special interest groups. Byron has one other huge supporter of his opinion of these groups and that is Republican Senator John McCain, who ironically belongs to his opposition party. According to Byron, we need a constitutional amendment like we had back in the 1800's, when Mark Twain called it a 'Gilded Age,' to stop the special interest groups from retaining so much hold over us. Part of that would include public control over campaign money. This means The event that made Byron decide to run for Congress was after listening to senator McCain speak in addition to talking to documentary filmmaker, Michael Moore. Moore quoted Margaret Mead as saying, "If you want something to happen, you have to get up and do it yourself." It struck a chord with Byron and he went home and talked with his wife and the rest is making history. He also added, "Stay away from special interest money, be committed!" as his own advice to keep himself honest. Byron needs roughly 36,000 votes to win. Furthermore, his name will not appear anywhere in the ballot; he is a write-in candidate because the democrats did not get a candidate in the primary. He is running for the 49th district and his opponent is the republican Dan Issa. Byron also said, "This is your chance to make a difference, together we can make history." For those who want more information on Byron and his standpoint in many issues, visit his website at www.ByronForC ongress.org. This website will also tell you how to vote using the write in method. He will also be speaking at the upcoming North County Democratic Unity dinner on Saturday, October 5th. For more info call 760-436-6348.

WARCRAFT from page 12 turns to the distant shores of Kalimdor, where the Ores vie for survival against the Night Elves to save the world from utter annihilation. Each race has its own tech-tree, which allows for the construction of diverse, multifunctional units of warfare. Players familiar with- Warcraft II or Starcraft will notice that game focus in Warcraft III has shifted to smaller numbers of individual units rather than massive quantities of expendable cannon fodder. This change renders the environment more like Diablo, and thus Blizzard successfully combines the best play elements of its previous titles into one awesome game. The standard version sells for $39.99 at Amazon or Best Buy. True diehards can pick up the special Collector's Edition for $59.99, which includes an audio CD, DVD and full-color guidebook. Both versions include previews of Blizzard's new massively- multiplayer online universe, entitled World of Warcraft, slated for release in 2003.

The most talked about issue since students returned to CSUSM, parking, is turning yet another page in its growing saga. One of the latest developments was that on Sept. 26 , curb parking was planned to be discontinued and would no longer be allowed. However, information recently released by Parking Services states that the allowance of curb parking would continue after Sept. 26 , th th Coordinator of Parking Services Patti Hale was not available for comment, but according to information obtained in the Parking Services office, "Due to the overwhelming amount of vehicles on campus, Emergency Curb Parking will continue until Parking Services explores other alternatives." However, no information was given on what or when these other alternatives will be explored. The only day curb parking will not be permitted is parking, and curb parking.

It seems that until Parking Services can develop a plan to accommodate all of the vehicles on campus, curb parking will remain an inevitable part of life at CSUSM. News Feature HME page 3-4 Arts.

CSUSM stopped highest continuation rate from its extended applications accep- the previous spring in our histance period for undergraduate tory. Last fall, for example, we th enrolled sixty-eight percent of the previous spring. I think the improved continuation rate could be seen as a positive reflection of the quality of education our students are receiving here." In addition to the large increase in the percentage of enrolled students last spring who continued in the fall, the reason for the increase in students is based on other factors as well. According to Riehl, "The additional construction of the campus and the growing public image are some of the main attractions to first time freshmen. The weakened job economy and tighter job market might be partially responsible for the improved continuation rate from last spring. All campuses in the CSU system are experiencing similar unexpected growth, so it is a statewide phenomenon." Compared to the Fall 2002, there were about 700 who applied, and now the school already has 1,200 prospective students who have applied for Spring 2003. CSUSM is currently budgeted for nearly 7,400 students on an annual average. The unofficial count on students for this semester is 7,600 and this will be either confirmed or changed with the census count that was held at the end of September and will be released in early October. Riehl did not say what they will do if the number of students admitted reaches school capacity. Although the requirements to get into CSUSM are the same, Riehl said that there is still a need to remind students interested in attending Cal State San Marcos to apply early and make sure that they have all the docu- TENURE from page 1 Brodowsky, Assistant Professor account of her many good o Marketing, and S Vourlitis and Thomas Wahlund Afssistant Professortephen Zera, qualities. of Finance, from the Biology Department; as new Associate Professors with Some awardees were not and Robert Yamashita from the tenure. able to attend due to health Liberal Studies Department. problems or because they Dean arion Reid from he From the College of Busi- Library Mnd Information Ster- were otfeaching classes at the a ness Administration, Dean vices recognized Jacqueline time the ceremony.

There are no plans for preferential enrollment at this time, and both transfer students as well as incoming freshmen will be viewed as equals in the admittance process, Riehl said. Applicants in all class levels, who meet the requirements, will be admitted as long as their application arrives before the deadline.

University officials hope this library will become the focal of the school. However, unless Proposition 47 passes this coming November, the library will have a problem with becoming fully laden with the equipment needed for this possible state-of-the-art facility. CSUSM's new Kellogg Library will be a 200,000-square-foot facility compared to the current library, which is 28,000 ft. This new library has the promise of being a focal point for the whole of the North County community.

Randy Graves, master instrumentalist of the Didjeridu, used the primal instrument to tell adventurous stories from the animal point of view.

The Scream Zone is the largest haunted attraction in San Diego, featuring 12,000 square feet of 3-D thrills. Each year the event features a new theme, and this year it is "Gothic-Frankenstein." This year the Scream Zone was designed and hand painted by former Disney 3-D expert, R.J. Ogren. The new 3-D effects take the Scream Zone production to a whole new level. Not only do the 3-D effects seem real, but also there are ghosts and Goblins that may just reach out and grab you. The Scream Zone has hired 23 actors who have spent hours rehearsing and who often put on more than fifty pounds of makeup and costumes on order to portray zombies and ghosts. As a warning to those who are fearless enough to go to the event, the Scream Zone is not intended for children under the age of ten, and is really geared towards teenagers and adults. If the little ones are screaming for a ghoulish adventure, a special Kids' Day "Fun Zone" is planned for October 27 from 1 to 4 p.m. The Fun Zone will include pumpkin carving, costume contests, candy, prizes, and of course trick-or-treating. th such successful artists is a testimony to the support for talented Asian Americans within the industry.

Transitions between these scenes are preempted by sound from the other narrative before the scene shift takes place. The effect of these segues suggests a strong emotive connection between the two characters bordering on the telepathic. By DESOMND BARCA Design Editor Usually when one goes to the movies, one expects to observe a series of dramatized situations and hopefully be entertained by the story, character development, musical score and visual stimuli. Most of us like to go to the movies to laugh, or to lose ourselves in a larger than life adventure or romance, and sometimes we just want to kill a few hours in a dark air-conditioned space with comfy seats. Das Experiment is definitely not a film for someone looking for this sort of light entertainment. Das experiment is Germany's official entry for Best Foreign Language Film; it has been nominated for the European Film Awards Best European Film 2001.

The majority of the Rush: Vapor Trails Tour By KURT MAYER Pride Staff Writer The legendary Canadian musical trio Rush performed live at the Coors Amphitheater in Chula Vista on Wednesday, September 25. The show was nearly sold out, and the fans were ecstatic to see one of the greatest performing bands of the last three decades - alive, well, and rocking out on tour once again. Rush is such an esteemed force in the music industry that no opening band was required; truthfully, no band could hope to compare! Rush came on stage at 8:15 and played until 11:30. The music was synchronized with hundreds of lights and lasers. Video cameras broadcast closeups of the musicians on three enormous projection screens, layered with custom animations and ambience effects. On these screens, fans watched, awestruck, as bassisi Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson performed intricate acoustic and electric guitar work, as well as keyboard work. Drummer Neil Peart brought fans to a standing ovation with a fifteen-minute drum solo on his 360-degree rotating drum kit. Awesome! The Coors Amphitheater is acoustically designed and padded with sound-reflective walls to accommodate full symphony orchestras, so the sound quality was perfect. New songs like "Earthshine" and "Ghost Rider" rang out into the night with the utmost clarity, as did classics like "The Trees" and "Red Sector A" and even the famous 1970's hit "Working Man". A Cal State San Marcos student who lives in Chula Vista, but did not attend the show, said he could hear the bass clearly from his yard. Indeed, the canyons and desert winds of Chula Vista probably enabled sound waves to resonate as far as Impe- talent to rival that of Ludwig von rial County and Mexico!

No matter what conflict is at hand, two wrongs do not make a right. Therefore, the only result of the argument is the escalation of the conflict that often turns into street fights. Really! Is skateboarding harder than inline skating or vice versa? I believe they are two different sports, and anyone who tries to say which sport is better than the other is clearly an idiot who is overgeneralizing. Little do these people, who create conflict, know that they are wasting their time. Instead offighting,they could be practicing, having fun, and not worrying about which sport is better. They overlook the fact that when they are skateboarding or inline skating they are free, not bound to the inline skater or skateboarder role of hating each other because their equipment is different. Actu- ally, skateboarders and inline skaters are very similar to one another. They are both involved in a new revolution of sports, and like to roll around to have fun. So why is it necessary to repeat the cycle of argument and disgust for one another? I know the answer. Skateboarders and inline skaters conflict with one another because they do not take the time to acknowledge the person behind the equipment, Many lack the perspective to see other athletes on terms that are different than the ones prescribed to them by their peers, socialization, or industry, Open your eyes, inline skaters and skateboarders, to each other and you may see there is a whole new world where skateboarders and inline skaters get along because they choose to see each other as a person as opposed to a symbol of something they have been taught to dislike, Louie Zamora Airs from e ramp to another. Photo courtesy of Steven Zamora. By STEVEN ZAMORA Pride Staff Writer I am sick and tired of being told to buy a skateboard, being verbally attacked^ or often col-"lidtng with skateboarders who mean to harm me just because I am an inline skater. I am also sick and tired of inline skaters getting so upset at skateboarders as to sink to their level and be the ones to start conflict or even contribute to it. If there is an overt discrimination to be seen in society, it is between skateboarders and inline skaters. I hate the feeling that I get when I'm skating at a street spot or at a skate park, and I see a skateboarder, purposely^ try. to fnake fun of 6r*even crash*into me. No one person likes to be in fear, however inline skaters must put up with it all the time. Not to say that skateboarders don't have the same feeling I have, but they are less likely to experience fear, because there are more skateboarders than inline skaters, which is apparent in society - ask yourself how many more skateboarders, on average, do you see as opposed to inline skaters? Insults that begin with "Our sport is harder than yours, fruitbooter" only further demonstrate how skateboarders are acting in a discriminatory manner toward inline skaters. However, the responses made in retaliation to the skateboarders by the inline skaters are the worst. These insults begin with, "keep on pushin' your wood; and by the way save the Capitalism starts and begins with laborers. Laborers, sometimes called proletariats, are the majority.

And of course, our work produces more to feed into the pool of products waiting to be bought. I will refrain from lecturing on the environmental effects of this type of consumerism and stick to the politics. My concern lies most in the notion that we do not realize we are pawns in a system that mostly benefits the miniscule percentage at the top of big-business and media - in other words, that we do not realize what capitalism is.

I know many of you feel this way too, given the tasty choices the Dome has to offer. We need a little variety in our food court selection, to say the least. Let's break it down. We've got a soup/salad bar, Casa Del Sol (Mexican/Burger joint), Nana's pizza and subs (the only food remotely worthy of consumption), and last and certainly least, House of Tsang. We've all heard about the overthe-summer renovations (fresher foods, bigger selection) that were to make the Dome more palatable for the students this fall. Student Gail Tarantino shared with me a personal account of what these "improvements" exactly entailed. "I went to Casa Del Sol to try the new baked chicken plate that they serve. The server pulled a As an expression of our care and concern, I ask each of us to think of ways we can acknowledge Alex Zingaro's life and honor his memory For my part, I will show that I value my fellow students by taking the time to smile or say Hi! as we pass each other between classes, cold baked chicken plate from the refrigerator, and proceeded to throw it into the fryer. When I asked the server what they were doing throwing the baked chicken plate into the fryer, they told me it was to warm it up." with cafeterias containing Taco Bells, McDonalds, and other well-known food stands. Why are CSUSM students subjected to sub-par food when other college students are actually enjoying their meals? We are students driven by our appetites. And what do we get between classes? Overcooked, marginal at best, Mexican and Chinese foo3. I'll give Nana's a little credit since it's pretty fresh and relatively palatable pizza and sandwiches. But when you sum it all up, that's really all there is. A person can only eat so much pizza before they begin to desire something more. Yet we all stand in line, like a bunch of Russians in a communist bread line. What else can we do? Rick Moore, Director of Communications at CSUSM, had this to say about the subject: "I know nothing about it, except that I've heard the matter was investigated and the major companies that looked into it found that there are not enough students here yet to support their minimum sales requirement." After trying all ten items that are on the menu throughout the past two semesters, I feel compelled to ask, "Where is the nearest Taco Bell?" There are other colleges in the San Diego area It looks like new and improved food is a diminutive priority thus far. Enrolling new students necessitates more parking spaces. When this is running smoothly we may finally have enough students, which would then allow us the ability to get more familiar food stands. However, this probably won't happen for quite some time, so hey! Have some pizza! sit next to each other on benches, or stand next to each other in elevators. What will you do?

Catching the Wave of Success By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Last Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at North Ponto in the north end of Carlsbad campgrounds, CSUSM held its annual Surf Team tryouts. Recognized by the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA), the surf team at CSUSM placed fourth overall last season. Under the rules of the NSSA, six shortboard men and one shortboard woman constitute a team. Making the final cuts will be difficult, due to the select nature of the team and the large pool of talent available at CSUSM. add some depth. "Last season, the team had great participation and team spirit, but generally only one or two surfers got through multiple rounds. To be a contender, they need to get more like four surfers into the quarterfinals.

She was a member of the NSSA National Team from 1985-1987. At USCD, where she majored in mathematics, she was part of their National Championship team and won an individual National Championship. In 1998, she graduated from UCLA with a PhD in mathematics, but before leaving she had accumulated two more NSSA individual national championships. Puha then came to CSUSM in the fall of 1999. Puha has stated, "I am thrilled to have been able to help in facilitating the development of a surf team here on campus." But she also gives credit to ASI and her team, "because without them this wouldn't be possible. With such an exemplary record, along with some very talented surfers, it's quite possible for the Cougars to rank even higher than last year." The surf team and other CSUSM teams like it are studentrun and managed by ASI ( Associated Students Inc.). Therefore, like any other ASI club sport, the team has three player representatives, which include Dave Kincannon, George Demarino, and Dustin Franks. The representatives have worked with ASI to officially register the team, organize the tryouts, and help raise funds. CSUSM is a part of the NSSA Southwest Conference and will begin competition on October 27th in Ventura, California. Lady Cougars Golf Begin an Impressive Fall Season By JESSICA A. KRONE Sports Editor The CSUSM women's golf team took third place overall in the third annual CSU Monterey Bay Golf Mart /Lady Otter Invitational in Seaside, California on Sept. 2 3rd- 24th. The Lady Cougars shot an overall score of 682 (341-341) at the par-73 Black Horse Golf Course with a yardage of 5957. The lady golfers' score earned them second place among the National Association of Intercollegiate Association (NAIA) affiliated schools.

Freshman Traci Tippett tied for 33rd place with a final score of 181 (90-91), and senior Jennifer Tunzi shot a 182 (95-87) tying for 35th place.

As part of his witty charm, Edmonds built an atmosphere of joviality throughout the day of rituals. Edmonds9 magnetism made the rhythm of the ceremony one of honor and fun. By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer When an eagle feather falls, a veteran dances close by and protects it from being trampled upon, according to the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). The theme of the 10th Annual Tukwut Pow Wow, held at California State University San Marcos (CSUSM), offered a glimpse of protection from the traditions of generations old and new by honoring passed heroes. The Pow Wow gave truth to the natural essence of spirituality with the ambience of ritual customs. The steady beat of drums echoed through the inner circle. The beat of the center drum circle, led by Hale and Co., pulsed with the traditional pace of honor. Honor remained the key element of the Pow Wow's tradi- Native American dancer at the Pow Wow. Photo by Tristan Nickey The Pow Wow's powerful, rhythmic procession gave life to the honoring of heroes. An amazing chorus of drums thundered under the heat of the heavy sun. American Indians and on-lookers gathered at CSUSM to commemorate two inspiring leaders who passed away, "Uncle" Henry Rodriguez and Chet Hunt. The Pow Wow honored Rodriguez and Hunt for their ever-vigilant support, exemplary leadership and teachings. Karin Giron-DeCrane said, "OurHerpes have taught us many lessons...to remember that we never do anything alone." The congregation of gatherers stood in silence for a moment of blessing led by the Pauma Mission Indian Tribe. The blessing included a prayer for the honored, gave thanks for a wondrous day, and prayed for the safety of people. Once the blessing of the inner circle concluded, only Native American Indians entered into the circle. Edmonds made light of the situation by joking, "If you are white and you enter the blessed circle you will go straight to hell." See POW WOW, page 12 Palomar Administration Drops Thousands By DESMOND BARCA Design Editor balances owed to the school were administratively dropped. Lee pointed out that some of the dropped students had owed the school money for several years -receiving an education without having paid for it.

This figure amounts to just Students received official over eight percent of the 28,000 students enrolled at Palomar this notices by mail and from teachers during class sessions to the sursemester. prise of many. However, many According to the Director of students said that the college did Enrollment Services, Herman not provide adequate notice, and Lee, students who failed to pay are outraged that Palomar would choose to take this kind of action so far into the semester rather than waiting until winter break. News of this policy change failed to reach many students. Students are complaining; they assumed that their accounts were in good standing, and many did not even know there was a problem until they were dropped. Many insist that they followed the proper procedures and their payment problems were a result of mistakes made by Palomar, "I paid my fees in person weeks ago, first they said that they owe me money, now they're saying I owe them nine dollars and I'm dropped from all my classes until I pay," said Kristian Smock. "They have been giving me the runaround for over a week and now I'm so far behind I wonder if it is even worth trying to get back in." Smock also said that he had heard of other students being dropped for owing the school less than four dollars. Though according to Lee, any AIDS Testing Available at SHS By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer SHS is a student clinic that offers a broad range of services from AIDS testing to seasonal flu shots. SHS will be giving anonymous, free,AIDS tests on Wednesdays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. beginning Sept 11th until further notice to all registered students who may be interested. Registered students may plan scheduled as well as walk-in appointments. If there is any reason in one's mind about the possibility of having the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) or known exposure to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus known to cause AIDS, students might want to take advantage of anonymous AIDS testing available at Student Health Services (SHS), located Those afraid of needles or across the camps on the corner seeing their own blood drawn of Craven and Twin Oaks in suite 100 of the San Marcos Ambula- can avoid the needle when getting their anonymous AIDS test tory Care Center. at the SHS clinic. SHS performs an oral AIDS test, known as the Orasure test. The Orasure test involves swabbing the inner cheek of the patient with a harmless instrument, commonly a swab on a stick. This breaks off cells from the inner cheek, which are then tested for HIV. For students who are not sure about how common AIDS can be or how it can be contracted, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides facts that are commonly overlooked. According to die CDC, California ranks 14th among all states in North America in percentage of people infected with the AIDS virus. Los Angeles and San Francisco lead the state as carriers of the virus, and San Diego does not rank in the top 10 cities in the United States. Overall, as of June 2001, North America has 800,000 - 900,000 people living with AIDS, which is 0.3 per cent of the United States total population. Less developed countries such as Africa have higher statistics due to lack of See TESTING, page 12 student owing more than $12 in unpaid fees was administratively dropped. Another Student, Mark Cunningham, said he was dropped along with a half dozen other students upon entering his classroom. Cunningham said he had paid for his classes by credit card through the school's automated system, which had told him his transaction was complete and See PALOMAR, page 2 i iü¡ WÊKHÊÊ page 1-2 Feature page 3-5 Arts page 6-9 Opinion....

"It angers me that my weekend was disturbed by administrative incompetence," said Cunningham, who needed a signature for his add slip, and drove out to his instructor's house on a Sunday to meet the Sept. 27th deadline (which was later pushed back indefinitely). During the past three years, Palomar College has been in the process of updating their computing and communication systems. CSUSM students who have transferred from Palomar may remember the open trenches and temporary telephone polls that littered the Palomar campus in recent years. Many students remember the system's renovations and the inconveniences associated with the admissions office during the transition. Due to the renovation, Palomar was not able to track students who failed to pay their fees. Now that Palomar can track these students, the administration is returning to its previous policy of dropping students who have a balance due. In recent years, students had been allowed to pay their fees up to two weeks into the semester.

Ideas about what happens after the food is swallowed seem to get lost in the appealing prospect of having a meal handed in through the car window for less than a buck. According to ABCnews.com, "Residents of the United States spend more on fast food a year than they do movies, books, magazines, newspapers, videos, and records combined." This amounts to over $110 billion annually. But as the nation grows more obese and unhealthy, it may be increasingly appropriate to examine Americans' propensity to support the fast food industry. And support it they do. The office of the Minnesota Attorney General noted, "There are more than 300,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S." When considering that the last official Census Bureau (www.census.gov) count for the U.S. population was 281,421,906, this means there is one fast food restaurant for about every 900 people in the country. At least one quarter of them is apt to stop in to one of these fast food establishments for a meal at least once per day, according to CBS HealthWateh. Americans Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, said, "The United States eats the most fast food in the world." While this is not the most profound statement and is unlikely, to shock the masses, it is certainly worthy of analysis. The entire world seems to recognize that in the U.S., people relish supersize, ready in under a minute, bite-swallow-and-go meals.

Most people think that a resume is a summary of their college career. If that were true, 95 percent of the resume would consist of beer drinking and partying. A resume need not include everything you did in the course of your college career. When looking for a job in the field of chemistry, a person might not want to include drinking beer out of funnels, drinking shooters out of test tubes, or micro brewing your own beer and using yourself as a guinea pig as work experience.

George Oiye had a happy childhood and grew up visiting the historic headquarters of the Missouri -River, the starting point of the Lewis and Clarke expedition. Later, in his twenties, Oiye attended Montana State College where he studied mechanical and aeronautical engineering. In college, he also participated in ROTC (Reserve Officers in Training Corps) where he was captain of the college rifle team. He fit the perfect profile for a man with a promising military future, except for the fact that this was 1941, the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor, and George Oiye is a Japanese American. and military record, Oiye was classified by the United States government as a 4C, an enemy unfit for military service. Of this time, Oiye states, "I felt like a man without a country." But then, in 1943, President Roosevelt issued an order to rescind the 4C order, thus allowing him, and some 15,000 other Japanese Americans, to reinstate their active duty military status. Oiye is a retired Staff Sergeant of the 442nd/522nd Regimental Combat Team, which happens to be the most highly decorated combat unit of its size in United States Army history. Known for being the "Go for Broke" regiment, because of their tenacity and don't-holdback attitude, the 442nd and the 522nd were comprised of mainland Japanese Americans and Japanese Hawaiians. The regiment has been credited with Despite his college academic breaking the "Gothic Line," an area of German fortified strong TESTING from page 3 points located in the mountains north of Florence Italy. This group of 'gung-ho Joes' has also been credited with helping to penetrate battle lines and securing many camps and sub-camps throughout Europe. As a forward observer, Oiye himself has been credited with spotting an enemy gun from an observation point 14,000 feet up and calling in Naval artillery support from sea to knock it out. In all, his team participated in 7 major ETO (European Theatre of Operations) campaigns throughout Italy, France and Germany, 5 of which Oiye was directly a part. His team was also instrumental in the rescue of the 'Lost Battalion,' where he and, his fellow soldiers suffered 850 casualties to save a unit of 223 Texans. Their defining victory occurred when they liberated the concentration camp survivors in Dachau, Germany (the location of Hitler's first concentration camp). The irony of this particular episode is that while these men were thousands of miles away from home, freeing complete strangers from genocide, many of their own families had been involuntarily interned in camps in the United States, due to the Pearl Harbor tragedy. On Thursday Oct. 3rd, George Oiye spoke to Professor Dreama Moon's COMM 330 Inter-cultural Communication class about his experiences as an American soldier both before and after the war. He commented on the strains of fighting with the Japanese Hawaiians - they and the soldiers from mainland Japan did not get along well due to cultural constraints. This, he said/ was worse than all the grenades and bullets, because he had to live with these men. For Oiye,. mainland return was a fate worse than battle. The problem was that many Americans simply could not accept the fact that Japanese Americans could have possibly helped in winning the war. It was so bad that even as a decorated veteran with a degree in engineering, he could not get a job for several years. But yet, after all of the mistreatment he endured by the same country whose values he risked his life to protect, when asked about his own identity as an American, Oiye remarked in a most stoic manner, "After your first bayonet fight with the enemy, you know you're an American." Now eighty years old, Oiye is a retired engineer and public speaker and can be seen in many documentaries and television interviews regarding inter-cultural experience during World War II. 1 should put the cumulative.

Poullard said that students should come to him for anything, "And I mean anything," he said. Upon getting the details of the concern or grievance, his first step is to call the appropriate office and explain the student's situation, after which Poullard directs the student to the correct office for resolution. * f"a water i | Case of 24 m IfwAAuT W W ^^^rn^mSm Cliff or Luna Assorted i Any Longs Brand Item j Bars 4 0% OFF! cents each S4J9+CIV !

Although some variation exists, "Red Dragon," directed by Brett Ratner, is for all intents and purposes a remake of Michael Mann's 1986 cult classic Manhunter. Both films have been adapted from the Thomas Harris book "Red Dragon," and accurately represent the novel, albeit in different ways. With its dark and alien cinematography and score, Manhunter grittily explores the deranged mind of a killer and the man that hunts him, whereas the more modern installment comes equipped with a star studded cast, goes into more depth about the characters and their backgrounds and offers a more true representation of the book. Actor Ralf Fiennes as Francis Dolarhyde. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. games employed are top notch and keep you on your feet. When a series of savage murders occur, FBI agent Will Graham (played by Edward Norton) is brought out of retirement by FBI section Chief, Jack Crawford (played by Harvey Keitel), to help catch the killer. The villain, Francis Dolarhyde (played by Ralph Fiennes), possesses a particularly dangerous combination of intelligence and lunacy accompanied with a rather intimidating physical demeanor. Graham realizes early on that he is going to require assistance in order to attempte a successful capture. Just like Clarice in "The Silence of the Lambs," Graham Actor Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. must also venture into the mind of Lecter in order to put an end to the killing spree. In so doing, Graham allows himself to be reciprocally probed by the renowned man-eating psychologist. For anyone with an interest in criminal psychology or pathology this film along with its predecessor and the novel are a must. The imagery is brutal, without being overly gory. The atmosphere is intense, and refuses to let you go. And the mind Actor Ed Norton as FBI Agent Will Graham. Image courtesy of Universal Studios. Although I didn't get a strong feeling of semblance among cast members, I do think that the performances by Hopkins and Fiennes were strong, to say the least. Even though the role of Will Graham is complex, I felt as if Norton's performance was somewhat uninspired. The supporting cast did, however, add a great deal of depth to this film. An especially compelling performance by Emily Watson as Dolarhyde's unassuming love interest was a breath of fresh air. Anthony Heald as Dr. Chilton, the asylum director, and bumbling antagonist to Lecter was hilarious once again. Philip Seymour Hoffman as the dirt bag tabloid journalist Freddy Lounds constituted the perfect guy you love to hate. Whatever this film lacked, as far as performances are concerned, it made up for in suspense and story line. As I consider myself somewhat of an expert on the work of Thomas Harris, I must implore you to not only see this film, but also "Manhunter," "The Silence of the Lambs," and "Hannibal." If you liked these films even a little bit, read the books, because they shed light on the formation of the character's personalities in the realest sense, the way Harris intended. �Sweet Home Alabama: More Than Just a Chick-Flick what's ironic about this situation In order to proceed with her is that the movie itself happens marriage to Andrew, she must to appeal to more than one audi- return to Alabama and finalize ence—the other being males. her divorce with Jake and also reveal to her parents her recent Reese Witherspoon as the decision to get married.

The Halloween Haunt has come a long way from where it began back in 1973, with only a few employees in costumes. Today, more than a million yards of scare cloth, 10,000 gallons of makeup, and 5,000 gallons of imitation blood have been used to decorate the cast in preparation for this annual event. performances is the Ghouls Gone Wild Magic and Dance Show, starring magician Ed Alonzo. This supercharged, sexy, and very controversial show includes a number of popular songs acted out on stage. The audience cheered on as women danced around poles and acted out the popular Nelly song, "It's Getting' Hot in Here," and if you know the words, then you can imagine what came next. This show is definitely not for children due to the adult themes, content, and humor. Nearly 52,000 people attended the opening weekend, with numbers expecting to double as the month nears Halloween. To accommodate guests for the celebration of its 30th birthday, new shows and mazes were added to the haunting line-up. Other shows include bizarre circus acts, tortuous stunts, musical numbers, and dark comedy. Zamora, the Torture King, along with his entourage, as seen in the Guiness Book of World Records and Ripley's "Believe It or Not," performs four shows a night.

Also new for 2002, the "Curse of the Spider" has taken over the area where the haunted shack once stood and offers more than meets the eye. tion of live insects, the stapling of body parts, and the insertion of metal wires through muscle tissue. Also available for guests' entertainment are personal tarot card readings, pyrotechnic and laser displays, and several freaks of nature, such as the Human Jigsaw Puzzle and giant 8-foot tall Zandrini. The Underground, Blood Bayou, Army of the Underworld, Red Moon Massacre, Horrorwood Fright Festival, Alien Attack, Lore of the Vampire, and Inquisition all offer screams and chills around every corner. Some are themed with twisted versions of fairytale characters gone bad while others thrive on the fear of more traditional characters, such as werewolves, vampires, and aliens. The most crowded attractions seem to be the Army of the Underworld and Red Moon Massacre, so if visitors plan to go, they should hit those attractions first. Furthermore, the longest lines during opening weekend did not exceed an hour and a half and some lines were short enough to walk immediately in. Although there have been more monsters in years past, the Halloween Haunt continues to get the job done. Nowhere else in Southern California are there more screams, curses, and haunts. Halloween Haunt is open every Thursday through Sunday until Nov. 2nd, and closing hours vary depending on the day. The cost is $38 for pre-sale tickets and $42 at the door.

BLT drew the audience deeper into the film with its active direction as well as the well-written characters. By RIA CUSTODIO Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Asian Film Festival (SDAFF) opened its doors to collaborative passions, desires, characters, and the inspiring direction of artistic creation. The SDAFF created a controversial buzz, making this year's festival an overall success. Lee Ann Kim, executive director, demonstrated her talents by creating a booming non-profit film festival in order to showcase Asian artistic talents. Opening night began when Kim emphatically spoke of her number one project, the SDAFF. With a slow beginning, the SDAFF opened three years ago with little notice but instead with a dream to establish an environment of support and collective collaboration of artistic creation. Kim excitedly spoke of the growing success of a film festival in a notoriously difficult locale. She expressed concern that San Diego has been a difficult venue forfilmfestivals.

Lin took a substantial risk in the making of BLT by using his credit cards as a primary source for the budget. Due to the difficult budget size, creativity and detailed planning played a large factor in the making of the movie. Lin and the crew envisioned a film for an Asian cast to break through stereotypical barriers. BLT has the potential to open a wide venue for Asians to play larger roles that do not include the stereotype in which Asians typically become characterized.

Lin also received high praise for the challenges he endured while making BLT BLT brought an audience to the point of amazement with an opening night showing of a film that is truly the first of its kind.

I was upset for several reasons to see that this section is written completely in Spanish. First of all, the Spanish Section completely defies the purpose of journalism. It is a newspaper's job to effectively communicate the news in a way that can be understood to those with an elementary level reading skill. One might assume that everyone at the university surpasses this level of reading comprehension, but it is unacceptable to assume that everyone fluently reads Spanish. It does not take a genius to realize that there is a significant population of students that do not speak or read Spanish, and I find this offensive and discriminatory. I am part of the student population that does not speak Spanish, and because of this I am unable to understand even the titles of the articles because they too are in Spanish. The content of the Spanish Section includes information concerning the Latino community. The Pride staff has alienated a portion of readers by assuming that the non-Spanish speakers or readers are not interested in the news in this section. I understand that here at CSUSM a large portion of the student population has English as a second language. These students were driven* to learn a second language so that they could have the same opportunities as English speaking students, and because of their hard work, obtained a level of competency that allowed them acceptance into the university. the English language that is commonly spoken in our academic community. I see this section as a problem because myself, as well as other students, have been excluded from reading a section of the school newspaper—a publication that should be available for all students to understand. The Spanish section of The Pride has disregarded the concept of equal opportunity, an area that the Latino community has struggled with for so long. Non-Spanish speakers are marginalized by this section, and if any group should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community. I see the same problem having a German section or Asian section strictly written in those languages in the newspaper as well. The bottom line here is that this section of the newspaper discriminates against the non-Spanish speaking students at CSUSM Amy Granite by preventing them from reading Sophomore, majoring in comthe articles. I would be interested munications in knowing what these articles I realize that we have a diverse are about, and I am sure other student body at CSUSM, but it is students feel the same way. R esponse t o S panish S ection By MARTHA SARABIA Lead Editor ¡Hola a todos! Primero que nada quisiera agradecer a todos los lectores de los artículos en español de The Pride y a todos aquellos que nos han felicitado por jesta sección. Esta sección al parecer ha creado algunas inconformidades. I*o cual me hace go back to business or to be more specific yet to respond to a recent letter received by the editorial staff. I, Martha Sarabia, currently one of two lead editors of The Pride as well as the editor of the Spanish section of our student newspaper want to clarify any misunderstandings created by having a Spanish section in The Pride. More specifically, the letter I am responding to was sent by one of our fellow students. I think it deserves to be answered. (I would also like to point out that I know this student and I really like her. Last year she was a member of The Pride staff. So, hi Amy!) Before I answer Amy's letter, I have a couple of things tp say by way of a preface: Spanish is my native language. The first understandable words I ever said in my life were pronounced in Spanish. This language is therefore a very big part of who I am today. This is why it is a privilege for me to promote my language to the CSUSM community. It is unfortunate that some are taking this as a sign of discrimination. This was never our intention. But, oh well, what can we do? We can't please everyone. But now some basic points: many non-native speakers in our school that are studying Spanish, many of them even pursuing a Spanish major or minor. Then there's the group that studied abroad in Spain during this past summer: 90% were non-native speakers. I know this because I was part of this program. It feels great to know that so many First of all, journalism is not people are open minded as well a career exclusively pursued in as interested in other cultures English; it is practiced in almost and languages^ every language in the world.

I invite sity that we have in our student you to search the Internet and body. discover this world of journalism for yourself. Fourth, you say in your letter that the Spanish section of Second, as you might have The Pride has disregarded the already seen, or at least I hope concept of equal opportunity.

Krone Tristan Niekey Leiaria Na holowaa Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall I believe that the intent of the editors who put the section together is good, but I think that the same articles can be relayed in English without taking away f rom the content or message behind the stories. It is not an unreasonable request that all students at CSUSM be able to read the articles in the school paper, and t he only resolution I can see in this situation would be to include the same articles in English side by side with those written in Spanish. the Spanish-speaking community instead of just what I have written as an individual? (When you wrote for The Pride were you representing the English-speaking community?) Whatever I do and write should be seen, criticized, and/or analyzed regardless of the group I belong to. You are denying me the right to have what I write read from an individual perspective instead of having everything that I am count before my writing. This leads to my fifth point: You mentioned, "if any group* should be sympathetic to this effect I would expect it to be this community." I have news for you. The Latino community is not in charge or in any way responsible for this section. It was the decision of The Pride editorial team. Simply because I belong to this group and I am in charge of this section does not mean that whatever I do represents the Latino community or is something that the Latino community wants me to do. To suggest this is a misrepresentation. Why? Because I am just one person and one single person cannot repreSee RESPONSE, page 12 Letters to the editors should include an address, telephone number, e-mail and identification.

Taylor also added, "It's a great opportunity for students to see the college layout." Cathy Munson, a San Marcos Middle School AVID professor, said that once these students get into college, they might be the only under-represented student in their classrooms.

According tq Kerfoot, the new technologies that Microsoft plans to release have a substantial involvement with the Internet, and building what will be known as the Digital Economy, or connecting every business together. Over 50 people showed up to Academic Hall 115 Thursday night to hear a little insight on the future of Microsoft, presented by guest speaker Scott Kerfoot. The presentation was co-hosted by Cal State San Marcos' own Alumni Association, and the Association Information Technology Professionals (AITP). The Alumni Association provided the sponsor for the event, Steamatic, who provided free beverages and desserts for those students and staff that Other new Microsoft techattended.

Veterans from all branches of the armed services are represented. With roughly 600 veterans attending school at CSUSM, the association has the potential for even further growth. Navy veteran and association member Stan Johnson described the association as being in an early formative stage. Johnson said the association is currently in the process of developing a mission statement and the association members eventually hope to be able to provide assistance to veterans and their families. Some members of the CSUSM Veterans' Association, such as Treasurer Tom Watson, are currently on active duty in the military. Watson is participating in the Marine Enlisted Com- system and phone capabilities. The Tablet PC is a slate-like computer, with wireless networking built in for Internet access; it will use a<pen instead of a mouse for navigation. More advanced gadgets coming out in the future from Microsoft include Biometrics, which are thumb print or body part authorization devices, j ust like those that are shown pn the movies. goal is extremely difficult and quite expensive, although once accomplished there will be a new virtual business world. Scott Kerfoot explained, "Compatibility and interoperability are the most important concerns business have today and understanding the technologies that address these concerns are the key skills in the industry."

At the end of the event, free shirts, books, and software were given out, courtesy of Microsoft. According to Microsoft, the overall goal of these new technologies is to make information available anytime, anywhere, and on any device. To do achieve this goal, all businesses need to be integrated into one interface, in order to boost AITP officer Aimee Friend efficiency and availability. This said, "AITP is a campus club and services have similar programs on campus. "In the aftennath of Sep 11th, security considerations have forced active duty personnel to adopt a low profile in certain situations," explained Watson, who also expressed his complete willingness tofightfor his county if he is summoned. The CSUSM Veterans' Association meets the first Tuesday of each month at 4 p.m. The association is currently holding its meetings in the Dome, though they are in the process of securing their own room. The association has no dues and students, as well as non-students, are welcome to join. Their next event will be the Veteran's Day celebration on November 11th.

Held just beyond Forum Plaza, between University Hall and the new Arts Building, the location was ideal for passing students to observe their peers laughing and having a great time. Overall, the scene was light and happy, and several people felt comfortable enough to stop and chat with sideline spectators. The competition consisted of four classic events, each a childhood favorite, yet with a contemporary spin. The first in a series of grueling feats of skill was Speed Twister. A member from each team battled with one another simultaneously onfiveseparate Twister mats. Whoever was the last one standing on each one of the mats won points for their team. This was quickly followed by the old camp favorite "Spin-'round-thebat-and-run" relay. During the event, each member from every team spun around seven times with the bat on their forehead, which was an oversized candle, and then had to slalom their way through a series of orange cones to touch a flag. Sprinting back to where they had begun was the only way to tag the next teammate inline. From there, the players moved on to a condensed Frisbee Golf match, where one member from each team took turns throwing a frisbee into a net trap about 20 yards away. Just as in regular golf, the least amount of throws won. After the adrenaline and energy from the relay before, the golf game quickly became organized chaos, with frisbees being tossed randomly like graduation caps. Thefinalportion of the contest was Speed Pumpkin Carving. As a team, everyone had 10 minutes to create something artistic from a lopsided gourd; it was not merely speed that scored points, but quality as well. Some simply hacked out their Greek symbols, while other teams such as PAN went so f ar as to use a dragon stencil to produce an eye-catching image. Winners were announced Thursday at 12 p.m. First place was awarded to APSS, who received $100 for their efforts. Second place went to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, who in turn won $50. PAN won third place and received $25. The prizes went towards the club accounts.

The hip-hop trio was brought on campus to help celebrate Cal State San Marcos' homecoming week.

O'Cain mixes visually stimulating, sensory art with an ounce of maternal flare in the pieces scheduled to exhibit with the Arts and Lecture Series.

I find that to be absolutely rediculous. When you remake a film, you're simply updating the telling of it. Like with "Psycho," they just added color to Hitchcock's masterpiece. Other remakes follow the same plotting, but update it to modern settings and the like. With "Red Dragon," Brett Ratner has made an adaptation of the novel of the same title by Thomas Harris. That's why the credits say based on the novel by Thomas Harris, not based on the film "Manhunter" by Michael Mann. Mann's film is a much looser adaptation than Ratners, and rather inferior, in my opinion. So, Mr. Thomas Harris expert, do tell me if you made a mistake in what you Said, or if you really believe that Ratner was remaking "Manhunter". I'd also like to know what you thought of the ending of the novel "Hannibal" compared to the ending of the film "Hannibal."

Se encuentra abierta al público en general la exposición "El Arte Defiende". Esta muy particular exhibición de arte organizada por el Taller de Arte Fronterizo que dirige Michael Schnorr se está presentando en la Galería de Arte del Colegio Southwestern en Chula Vista hasta finales de mes. Se presentan trabajos de niños y jóvenes de la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas en Tijuana, así como también de algunos otros artistas que muestran en sus obras las experiencias vividas dentro de la población. Para estimular la creatividad de los niños, Huato y Aguiñiga les enseñan diferentes técnicas de pintura. Aguiñiga expresó que muchos niños piensan que no son capaces de dibujar o pintar un cuadro con valor estético pero que después de enseñarles cómo y ofreciéndoles los diferentes materiales utilizados para que puedan crear algo con facilidad y de una manera divertida, los niños se entusiasman y se les enciende el pensamiento creativo. El objetivo de los instructores es el de enseñarles una manera de expresar sus emociones. "La situación en Maclovio es muy difícil. Algunos niños no tienen casa, a otros los abandonaron sus papás, no van a la escuela, andan en las calles todo el día, cargan cuchillos, se pelean entre sí, y otros venden drogas para poder comer. Entonces es importante el proporcionar a los niños una manera de expresión no verbal, ya que cuando se expresan verbalmente son censurados, y a La galería de pinturas, fotografías y figuras plásticas forma la historia de los habitantes de ese lugar. Los jóvenes y niños plasman sus vivencias en muros hechos de puertas de cocheras. En cada uno de los trabajos que se pueden apreciar en esta exposición se encuentra el alma frustrada, acongojada, sedienta, hambrienta, o dichosa de un joven, de un niño o de un adulto. Detrás de estas piezas se encuentran los seres que denuncian injusticias y carencias de todo tipo. El Taller de Arte Fronterizo puso en marcha un proyecto en Tijuana para defender a los habitantes de Maclovio Rojas. Como estrategia de ayuda surgió "El Arte Defiende", exhibición de arte que tiene como finalidad El dibujo de Jonathan. Foto por Martha Sarabia proteger a la comunidad a través del ingenio artístico. Como parte del proyecto, el Taller de Arte Fronterizo ha invitado a artistas internacionales y nacionales a convivir con la entidad de Maclovio Rojas para que plasmen sus experiencias a través de su creación artística. comunidad autónoma, que sus líderes eran mujéres y que confrontaban serios problemas con el gobierno. Poco a poco se f ue envolviendo con la comunidad y junto con otros artistas voluntarios empezaron a construir el Centro de Arte Comunitario Aguascalientes. Elizabeth Huato y Tania Aguiñiga son dos voluntarias que han estado asistiendo a impartir clases de artes plásticas y pintura a la comunidad de Maclovio Rojas. Huato es estudiante de Diseño Gráfico én el plantel de Southwestern y Aguiñiga estudia Diseño de Muebles en la Universidad Estatal de San Diego. Actualmente el centro Aguascalientes cuenta con siete voluntarios y voluntarias. Cuatro de ellos son estudiantes de arte, dos son profesores y una pintora del Taller de Arte Fronterizo. Todos ellos trabajan con la comunidad, especialmente con los jóvenes y Aguiñiga empezó a colaborar con el Taller de Arte Fronterizo hace cuatro años y medio. Ella cuenta que el proyecto se inició con la idea preliminar de realizar una pintura de Maclovio Rojas. A Aguiñiga le interesó el hecho de que Maclovio era una Maqueta de la comuñidad Maclovio Rojas. Foto por Martha Sarabia Para Huato, es muy importante que ellos se puedan expresar a través del arte, pero también es uña forma para que ellos consideren el arte como carrera futura. "El crear una forma de arte para que la vendan y se puedan sostener económicamente es muy bueno, pero más que nada es pintar para desahogarse, ellos pasan por problemas que uno nunca se imagina. Para mí el arte es expresión y para ellos debe de ser también," expresó Huato con una actitud optimista. De acuerdo con Huato, su mejor experiencia ha sido el pintar los murales con el grupo de jóvenes. "Todas las actividades eran en la noche y era muy divertido, parecía como que temamos fiesta. Es uno de los mejores recuerdos que tengo," expresó Huato. Huato también habló de la pintura de un joven, Jonathan, la cual realizó con colores de agua. "La forma en que él la pintó me dejó anonadada porque no me imaginaba las cosas que él era capaz de pintar. Es una pintura abstracta, lo que es muy difícil para un niño. Me impresionó el talento que tiene, así que le sigo dando material para que continúe pintando." El arte abstracto de Jonathan tiene las imágenes que repentinamente se le venían a la cabeza y que él quería representar en See MACLOVIO, page 11 �because during competition only to make the extra fund raising effort, perhaps it is achievable," * five can compete.

After a dazzling reverse from #21 LaDainian Tomlinson to #85 Tim Dwight the Chargers opened tip the first quarter 7-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The momentum was in favor of the Chargers, however with turnovers caused by fumbles and interceptions, the Chiefs capitalized on the errors and led at the end of the second quarter by 3, making the score 7 Chargers and 10 Chiefs. As the third quarter progressed, the Chargers would get very close to the red zone, but were never able to score due MACLOVIO from page 8 un papel. "Eso es lo que es abstracto.

Sin recibir ninguna forma de pago, los voluntarios en Maclovio Rojas se muestran entusiasmados con el resultado de la exposición y dijeron que continuarán haciendo su labor humanitaria por el beneficio de los habitantes de ese poblado. Con una sonrisa, Huato dijo que es una cosa tan hermosa lo que hace "que ha cambiado mi punto de vista de ver las cosas. Los pocos meses que he estado en Maclovio han cambiado mucho to interceptions of Quarterback #9. Drew Brees and a turnover by Charger's punt returnee #87 Vanover. The turnover resulted in seven points for the Chiefs, which left the Score in the game Chargers 7, Chiefs 17. Just when the Chargers looked as if they were going to lose the game, the Charger's defense racked up a key interception that left their offense in striking distance of the Chiefs red zone. The Chargers benefited from the interception because Tomlinson was then able to rush twice for the inzone and score another touchdown that made the score Chargers 14, Chiefs 17. Within those two rushes by Tomlinson, the amount of determination the Charger's offensive linemen had to help their running back reach the endzone. Also, these two rushes by Tomlinson were not simple runs because he had to la mentalidad que yo tema.

This determination and second efforts by the Chargers displayed their will to win. Towards the end of the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, the Chargers and Chiefs battle back to back with touchdowns. The first strike was delivered by Chiefs quarterback Trent Green who increased the Chief's score by seven, and then the Charger's battled back with a hand off to #80 Curtis Conway, which led to his running touchdown. The score now was Chargers 21, Chiefs 24. Now entering the fourth quarter the Chiefs connected with a brilliant pass from Green to Tony Gonzalez that turned into a touchdown reception.

You say we've lost some personal freedoms, like what? Are you upset because you have to arrive at the airport another 30 minutes early since 9-11-01? Wow, that's a real tragedy. But I will take your advice on speaking to our leaders. I'm going to write the President and tell him how grateful I am for his realistic stance on terrorism. I've got news for you Mr. Hi Pride people, First I want to say that the layout of this week's issue was very impressive. You're all doing an awesome job and should be proud of yourselves. I was somewhat perturbed about the Opinion pages, though. I guess it's ideal for former editors to keep their lips shut regarding current editorial decisions, but I rarely speak out against certain Pride-related issues unless I feel they are important. So I hope you don't look at this as a "former-editor-butting-in," but rather another CSUSM student expressing her opinion about her student paper. In a past issue of the paper Pam Horner wrote a letter expressing her distaste for the "Mucky Mouse" cartoon; Desmond Barca's response, however, appeared in the same issue as Horner's letter. In this week's issue, Amy Granite wrote a letter where she disagreed with the editorial staff's choice to include Spanish articles; Martha Sarabia's 10 years with Hussein and nothing has worked. It should be crystal clear to you that Mann: there are evil people in he is another Adolph Hitler in this world such as Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, Adolph the making. In addition, guys Hitler, etc... who NEVER listen to reason or negotiation. The m only way to stop them from POLITICAL doing more evil is to destroy COIMMENTARY them. Look at Saddam Husr sein; this psychopath has never acquired a weapon that he has like him are the reason that: not used (in 1988 he gassed if you want peace, you have 10,000 of his own people to stop to be willing to fight for it. a rebellion). So what do you think he will do once he has a You also think that your govfew nuclear warheads? ernment "kills civilians" and "destroys lands." Well, please As the president said last allow me to enlighten you on Monday, we've tried every dip- how our government/military lomatic approach for the past really works. As a veteran of the response, however, appeared in I know you're all busy, but if the same issue as Granite's letter. you have any responses for me regarding the editorial policy Now from what I've seen with on this subject, I'd love to hear most newspapers {and if I'm it. I hope my point made sense. wrong, please correct me) readers If it didn't, let me know and I'll and editorial staff typically don't clarify respond to letters until after they have been published; as a reader Please remember that this letter I admire this decision because doesn't come with any ill will, it gives readers like myself a especially since I have a special chance to reflect on the opinions respect for the paper and for of the writer and read his/her members of the editorial staff. perspective. When the next issue comes around I look forward to Best regards, the disagreement and debate that Vicky Segall usually follow opinion letters. With the previously mentioned letters, however, it seemed like Horner and Granite's arguments Hi Vicky, were weakened because of immediate responses from the Thank you for your letter. editorial staff. I was curious if the rest of the student body has the same privilege as the editorial staff and may review and respond to letters before they are published? It doesn't seem fair, and I just wanted to throw this opinion out there. We hadn't really considered the points that you mentioned; we all thought that it would be interesting to have a public dialogue going back and forth in the same issue as well as in consecutive issues. In our eagerness to generate debate we may have overlooked, to some degree, the connotations of our decision. US Army, I can tell you that we go out of our way - more than any other nation in world history - to avoid civilian casualties. The reason that innocent people die is because guys, like Hussein and bin Laden, prefer to hide behind women and children. Why... because they know we won't attack. If you don't believe me, go to Camp Pendleton and ask some of the marines if I'm right. rebuilt their nations for them after WWII? Do you think Hitler would have rebuilt America for us had the Nazis won? Think about it Mr. Mann. Thanks to the courage of our military, (people who voluntarily give up their constitutional rights so you can have yours), we live in the freest country on the planet. And I can't help but laugh when a GRAD STUDENT whines and complains about And how do we exploit other the very country that gives him people Mr. Mann, by spread- the right whine and complain. ing democracy and rebuilding somebody's country for them? That's ridiculous. Dp you think Briän Dobbins, senior the Germans, Italians, and Japa- communications nese felt exploited because we As we're sure you know, readers are quick to criticize the paper and the editors are always on the defensive. It is true that we have taken some advantage of our editorial positions, however we think this is balanced to some degree by the fact that the students who write in are on the offensive, and are not subject to public scrutiny on a weekly basis. Criticism is healthy and appreciated; it means that we as editors have to be able to advocate and show justification for what we are doing. However, being under constant attack takes some getting used to. readers lose interest or shift their attention to newer issues. Two weeks interest fades, both on the part of the letters' authors and on the part of the editors. You ask if the rest of the student body has the same privileges as the editorial team. We can't avoid reading the letters before everyone else; waiting to respond would be a pretense. Daily papers respond as soon as possible and that is usually the next day. However, we are a weekly paper and therefore issues of last week are too old for this week. As the old Mexican saying goes, "No dejes para mañana lo que The idea of waiting until the puedes hacer hoy." Don't put off next issue to respond is attractive until tomorrow what could be because it may create anticipation done today. for our readers, help to captivate them, and ultimately keep them Thanks again for bringing this to picking up the paper/ However, our attention. as we are a weekly paper and not a daily, the letters we receive The Pride Editorial Team are published in response to issues that are already a week We encourage people who agree old. We feel that by responding or disagree with our response to immediately to the letters, we write to us. can address these issues before Response to "Separate but not Equal" This is in response to the article "Separate But Not Equal" by Melissa Reed in the September 24th paper. Melissa, while I applaud your "utopianistic" view on American Society in regards to diversityr I have to say I think it is extremely distorted. Before you jump on the defensive side I want you to know that I truly wish that our society were indeed as tolerant of diversity as you perceive it, but unfortunately it is not. I noticed that you yourself said in your article that, "as a Literature and Writing major... I have been forced to take many classes that in one way or another involve ethnic studies and cultural diversity." If the classes were not mandatory, would you have taken them simply out of scholarly interest? Probably not which is why the University chooses to make these t roes of classes mandatory. There are many people, just like you, who instead of celebrating cultural differences look at them negatively as hindrances. Recognizing and accepting cultural differences is what diversity is about. While you may not feel more "connected" to a member of another race or ethnicity after class, you should at least feel like you have a better understanding about their experiences and perspectives. And we all need to learn about these experiences and perspectives as they are extremely different depending on one's ethnic background. We have to be realistic and admit that there is no such thing as a same "across the board" American experience in terms of ethnicity. This is what classes like LTWR 450: Multiethnic American Literature portray. To say that classes like this are a slap in the face — classes that give everyone a chance to study literature which is no doubt based upon the different experiences, good and bad, that result from us living in a diverse society — is a total disregard for diversity. Literature" could not possibly fit the course objective of LTWR 450. While this class' goal is to compare writings from various ethnic groups found here in America, it also says that it " ... examines texts through thematic and/or historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying cultural and historical circumstances." (pg. 268, CSUSM University Catalog). Imagine trying to study the American Civil War from one ethnic perspective. It's impossible because you have, the perspective of the slave owner and then that of the slave. The fact that you do not understand nor recognize cultural diversity as celebrating our differences in an equal manner, and does not necessarily constitute any separation, shows the lack of progress in cultural diversity and maybe even the failure of the classes to do what they were created to do. extent still are, diverse in terms of population, people were not always as accepting, as maybe you were, of the idea of ethnic diversity. I have yet to be made more aware of my multicultural background than when I lived* in New York. And while someone's ethnic background might not have been discussed at your family's dinner table, believe me, it was being discussed at many others. Lastly I would like to address your idea of "incorporation". Let's first get this straight. There is a huge difference between incorporation and assimilation. To just lump all literature, or even culture under the title of "American" would be a disservice and a blatant disregard to those members of the many ethnicities that have contributed to the greatness of America. You cannot expect people to simply label themselves as American especially when they I also grew up in New York have not always been treated City and while neighborhoods as such. And that is a story may have been, and to some that needs to be told from as To simply title a class "American many perspectives as possible. Instead of looking at diversity as a separatist idea, accept it as a necessary way to foster tolerance and as a means to possibly achieve real and total equality. I applaud the University f or its dedication to the idea of diversity and encourage the powers that be to do more to bring about an enthusiastic understanding and acceptance of our culturally diverse society. I also challenge CSUSM students to participate in the understanding of diversity by voluntarily taking classes that foster acceptance and celebrate our differences. By doing this, more people will see that these classes do not perpetuate separatist views but instead at best, create a sense of unity and at the very least, produce a higher level of understanding.

Photo by Desmond Barca. For the second time in homecoming history at Cal State San Marcos, the window-painting contest was a hit. The theme chosen this year was simply "Pride on the Prowl." Extravagant and creative paintings were displayed on the windows around Founder's Plaza all during homecoming week from Oct. 5th—13th. The CSUSM Veterans Association painted the window that was chosen as the winner of the 2002 window-painting contest by the Homecoming Planning Committee. Claudia Pawlowski and Justin Knott were the artistic talent that created the window painting next to the coffee cart that won the grand prize. Claudia, a Biology major CSUSM student, and member of the CSUSM Veterans Association, portrayed a cougar on the prowl beside an American Flag, as well as the theme boldly stated at the top of the window. Club, Alpha Xi Delta, Women's Studies Student Association, Asian Pacific Student Society, Alpha Chi Omega, CSUSM Veterans Association, and College Democrats were the student organizations that participated in this artistic adventure. The Homecoming Planning Committee members, who voted independently, chose the winner. Then, Wright tallied all the votes to come up with the grand-prize winner.

The game is supposed to be played as best of three, not just win one and run. Another awkward moment that left the audience in awe was when CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez got the decade wrong when asked when the school was founded. The crowd expected the president of the university to know this information. CSUSM was founded in 1989, however Gonzalez said know if they meant largest in that it was founded sometime in terms of population, or square the 1990s. footage, but was answered with a shrug from Speers.

In Moore's press release he stated that the uni-. versity used to set aside roughly 0f they are more discrete about it. According to Kozol, Martin Luther King had a dream that white and black children would go to the same schools. He did not have a dream that involved a child having to meet certain criteria in order to attend the school. National Book Award-winning author Jonathan Kozol spoke out against what he calls "Modernized legal apartheid," in the United States' public schools system last Thursday at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido (CCAE). It was a packed house last Thursday at the CCAE when Kozol opened his speech, praising school teachers on their continued efforts on working with kids, yet not speaking too highly about politicians who think otherwise. Kozol does not believe our politicians are doing enough to educate the young children in the inner cities. According to his research, 1/4 of the children in South Bronx do not go to preschool because their local government won't spend the money for Head Start programs, which help children of low-income families to better develop their comprehensive skills before they start school. Kozol drills the government on its education bill that was passed, which will in turn hold an eight-year-old accountable for not passing his/her exams. He feels that these tests are discriminatory against children that go to inner city schools, because some of these children did not have any proper preschooling, and many did not go to pre-school at all. Kozol also thinks that teachers will lose some of their creativity, because they would be under the watchful eye of the government. Jonathan Kozol.

He Kozol doesn't believe that parents from the inner city have the resources to do this. That is where his "Modernized legal apartheid" comes into play. Kozol believes that the modern day American public school system is as segregated as it was in Martin Luther King's time; people just don't notice it because Daniel Murphy, a CSUSM senior, said "Instead of having the students pick up the entire fee, the university could have charged the students the difference between what was set aside, and the fees that were being absorbed (roughly $50,000) and reduce this new 2,9% surcharge by 70 percent!"

Activist Jonathan Kozol Speaks to CSUSM Community By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer a choice as to where the previously set aside money should be used. The $124,091 will now be distributed to other Student Life Programs and to hiring another staff police officer. CSUSM's President Alexander Gonzalez said, "Both will support student needs as we move to a 24/7 campus with the opening of student housing in Fall 2003." "Teachers are not drill sergeants for the state," Kozol expressed. A teacher should have "Loyalty first to the kids," and second to the government, Kozol said. He does not feel that it is necessary for the government to test children because of the negative impact it will have on whoever implements it. PAN Hosts War Forum By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer On Thursday, O ct 17th, Cal State San Marcos hosted a forum concerning the pending war against Iraq in the Mezzanine Plaza at 12 p.m. Sponsored by the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), the panel consisted of three CSUSM professors and two North County activists. According to PAN Vice President Drew Niedenthal, the forum provided an opportunity to "hear from people who are educated about the situation, and to let them speak their mind? The discussion began with introductions of the panel by PAN President Manal Yamout. Fellow members Steven Sehnte and Erick Roper gave qtiick aad concise Öibemtions thereafter Eiden,.: • feöyist and director of the Nortih County Forum, was thefirstto answer a series of PAN directed questions. His passionate and liberal beliefs came blazing through his outspoken manner. Sitting next to him was a Cal State San Marcos See WAR, page 2 �WAR f rom page 1 communication alumnus, Bob Nanninga, currently a journalist for the Coast News. Both Nanninga and Eiden proved to be very adamant about avoiding war with Iraq. Eiden thinks a great deal is missing from media coverage, more specifically, whatever the government does not want people to know. "If the government tells the truth, it is a coincidence", said Eiden. Nanninga explained that the "federal government is completely out of control", believing that the History Professor Lawrence "Bush dynasty" is rampant and Rockwood provided a military misguided in its attempts to use point of view.

Questions made by PAN President Yamout were direct and succinct. These included "Is the media coverage on the situation with Iraq accurate?", "Should President Bush be more concerned about domestic issues such as a faltering economy?" and "What are the implications if America decides to go to war without U.N. approval?" The only clear answer was from Eiden. If the U.S. goes to war without the consent of the U.N., it could be the catalyst that "ignites a world confrontation between 'Islam' and 'the West'. The U.S. could become a world pariah," said Eiden. Professor of History Patricia Seleski answered these questions of PAN verbosely. Currently teaching a class on the history of modern warfare, her insights were most enlightening. As she so eloquently said, "The right has to understand it is not the 1930's. The left has to understand it is not the 1960's." Women's Studies Kicks Off New Leadership Series By HONEE J. FOLK Pride Staff Writer Three professional women discussed the importance of balancing family and business life, the glass ceiling encasing women in government, and the challenges that lay ahead for women on their career paths during a Women's Studies Leadership Series, The panel discussion took place at Cal State San Marcos in Commons 206 on Oct. 10, complete with light afternoon hors. d'oeuvres of fine cheese with crackers and exotic fruit juices.

Holt-Pfeiler devotedly described the obstacles that she herself faced on her political ascension on the public service ladder. She reiterated the many difficulties specific to women who must burrow through a system filled with challenges, and are often not shown any benevolence from their male counterparts. When questioned by an audience participant about her commitment to ensuring that the voices of other underrepresented populations, specifically women of color, be heard, Holt-Pfeiler responded, "If you don't share power, it's going to be taken from you, so you have to make a place at the table for everyone to sit." Holt-Pfeiler, the soft-spoken Mayor of Escondido, appeared stronger than a locomotive in a calm, underlying might, as she recounted her daily challenges of holding a public office and balancing her family responsibilities. She invited the audience on a twist-and-turn journey of one day in Lori's life, where Case, Economic Development the juggling act did not consist Division Manager of Escondido, of colorful balls being thrust in had to be faster than a speeding several directions by a circus bullet to make a place at the table By HONEE J.

With just a high school education and $2,000 in her billfold, Case whisked past the blockades and two husbands in her way, up the ladder of managerial success. Now that she has accomplished that, there is little room for advancement because the top 5 Director positions in city management are all held by men and have remained stagnant. Case cautiously talked about the ever-present glass ceiling looming overhead for women. She said of Escondido city government, "You find a lot of women get to the management level and that's where they tend to stop. They don't tend to get to the director level." Case outlined the pros and cons of engaging the city in employment. She maintained that among the most attractive advantages to government work is an individual's ability to directly affect change in other people's lives. "You touch a lot of people," she said, "you touch the public a lot." She continued by saying that although the pay is not creat, "The henefit p art. is not grrpat "TV»p bpnpfit «ackage is well worth it." Her candid disposition permitted her to be completely frank and honest with her audience, being truthful in her advice, "I would say there are more opportunities for women to advance, at least in this state, today, in the private sector," Case asserted, "If you're looking for an accelerated career path to the top, government is not for you, at least not now." Strassburger, CEO of the Downtown Business Association of Escondido, connected with the audience by sharing her professional progression towards the position she holds now. Strassburger previously held employment with organizations from the San Diego Blood Bank to the Zoological Society, publishing articles in regional and national publications. Her experience reinforces the age-old cliché that it's not what you know, it's who you know as she openly divulged, "I have never received a job that I have applied for.

According to her, this preparation empowered her to move beyond obstacles in her path as if leaping over tall buildings in a single bound. To illustrate this analogy, Strassburger provided an example that she, like other women, had often encountered. "There will be times when you're in a meeting and make a comment, and 5 minutes later a man will say the same thing and be recognized for it when you weren't." She used this opportunity to engage the audience by releasing the tension that had built up from such a frustrating reality. Strassburger asked someone to help her understand why this scenario often occurred and Jonathan Pouliard, CSUSM's Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students, blurted out, "That's easy, it's called sexism!" The audience rose and fell a in an eruption of laughter and _ before they were able to j fll gain their composure, Strassburger threw her arm up in the air and breathed a sigh of relief while exclaiming, "Oh, thanks for clearing that up!"

The killing spree, which has resulted in nine deaths and has wounded three others, began on O ct 2nd. On Monday an arrest was made, although at the time that this article went to print, there was no known connection to the sniper attacks that have haunted the greater Washington D.C are for over two weeks. Experts originally believed that the "Sniper", had had at least To say that the assailant or some degree of military trainassailants have drastically dis- ing.

Phoenix, also states that trained The "Sniper" struck eleven times in the first two weeks, remained in seclusion from Monday the 14th, and struck again last Saturday night, this time more than 80 miles from Washington, D.C. The latest victim is in critical but stable condition at a local area hospital. snipers aim for the head. And although the Washington area sniper has hit some in the head, others were hit in the upper body. Graves maintains that, given the distances of the shootings (up to 100 yards) and kill ratio (9 of 11) this seems unlikely to be the work of a professionally trained sniper. "I can take someone out in the morning and by lunch have them shooting as well as this guy," says Graves. The second assumption made about the "Sniper" that has recently been questioned is the idea that this is the work of a lone gunman. Former FBI agent and one of the pioneers of modern profiling techniques, Robert Ressler, suggests that the shooter's ability to hit with a single shot and escape police dragnets within minutes gives credence to the notion that this might be the work of more than one man. It's been implied that the second man would act as a "wheel man" and/or victim spotter. "These are complex crimes," says Ressler. "You can't just pull up and shoot out the window unless you're an exceptional marksman. I think he's getting out of his seat and shooting with a scope and a bipod or a rest. Someone else is driving." Ressler also suspects that by the time the victim falls, the vehicle is already moving. This may be partly due to the United States government's approval to use Army spy planes (Airborne Reconnaissance Low planes) equipped with a range of special sensors and detection capabilities for an overhead, round the clock hunt for the notorious marksman. Furthermore, criminologists have suggested that, these killings may stop for months at a time, or even entirely. This may be just another of this unseemly character's/characters' methods employed that make him/them virtually impossible to profile. Whatever the case, this methodical madman/madmen has used intelligence to evade capture thus far and officials have even granted that it may require either luck, or an improbable mistake on his/their part to apprehend this killer/killers.

Throughout the California State University system there is a requirement that says that in order to obtain a degree all students must show a proficiency in writing. Students at CSUSM meet this requirement through what is known as "Writing Across the Curriculum" The 2002-2003 General Catalogue explains, "At CSUSM, students complete the graduation writing assessment through the All-University Writing Requirement" This requires that every course must have, "a writing component of a least 2,500 words " The requirement does not state specifically how this is to be done, just that the "writing requirement can be achieved in a variety of ways, depending on the course." an upper division writing class and pass the Examination in Writing Proficiency (EWP). Students attending the Long Beach campus have to pass a Writing Proficiency Examination/ In all cases, if the students fail to pass the writing exams and additional courses, they will not be able to graduate. There are also limits as to how many times the exams can be taken. The requirement for CSUSM is much different from other universities in the CSU system. At CSU Bakersfield, students must show writing competency by either passing the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) examination or It is not just the CSU system by taking an additional writing that has a writing requirement. class. While at Cal State Ful- For example, at UCSD all stulerton, students have to take dents must pass writing exams known as Challenge Exams, and at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo students must either pass a writing proficiency exam or take another English class in order to graduate. CSUSM's writing requirement is a legacy of the founding faculty. Dr. Patricia Worden, a member of the founding faculty in Psychology who is now the Dean of Graduate Studies, explained that Dr. Ken Seib is the "father of the writing requirement." Worden said that the founding faculty was concerned Worden told how Seib, who left the university before it opened, felt that "if you want to learn how to write you have to write a lot." In order to achieve this goal, the founding faculty decided on a requirement that would call for writing in every single class, or "writing across the curriculum." Worden said they knew it would require more work for the faculty, so they .made the requirement flexible mandating only a word minimum and not any specifics for how it should be accomplished. Worden added, "[the] university's writing requirement has had nothing but good publicity." * Dr. Bud Morris, Immediate Past Chair of the Academic Senate and Communication professor, said that, "CSUSM chooses to [use the writing requirement] and we do it well." Morris added how the writing requirement "is a distinction and one that emphasizes the personal development of the students." To confirm how successful CSUSM's writing requirement really is, Dr. Bettina Huber, Director of Analytic Studies, provided statistics and data gathered from several different surveys. According to Huber, "Our writing requirement makes us distinctive." She also said that it highlights the importance of writing in every course over a general essay like the GWAR. Huber discussed the results of the Fall 2001 Annual In-Class Survey, which showed how 80% of the 1,156 respondents believed that, "their writing ability had been enhanced moderately or a great deal." In the Spring 1999 Alumni Survey, in which there were 1,468 respondents, four in five alumni said "the writing skills they acquired at CSUSM have proved particularly useful in the years since they received their bachelor's degrees." Alumni comments were a testimony to both the dislike and the importance of the requirement. A few typical examples were, "the horrible writing requirement has proven to be very valuable," "all writing proved to be a must," and «jI IT See WRITING, page 5 ! ?

One respondent stressed how "the CSUSM writing requirements were key in preparing me for my professional day to day tasks." Huber added, "Only in retrospect can you judge the value of your college education." The GWAR is a CSU system requirement that has been replaced at this campus with the writing across the curriculum policy. When asked about the circumvention of the GWAR, Dr. Sharon Hamill,. Associate Professor of Psychology and General Education Committee chair, reassured that the writing done through the university's writing requirement satisfies the GWAR, and that because of it, CSUSM students do not have to Alpha Chi Omega Hosts Womens Resource Event take an exit exam. Hamill also said that this year, "The General Education Committee would be looking into the GWAR issue and how writing is addressed at CSUSM." By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Showing a proficiency in writing is mandatory for graduating college students in the state of California. CSUSM has the unique system of the "writing across the curriculum" requirement, while other colleges, regardless if they are in the CSU system or not, have exit exams like the GWAR, or additional classes, or both. It is extremely doubtful that the writing requirement will ever be eliminated, but it could be replaced. However, this would be up to the General Education Committee and the Academic Senate to decide. JCoiutâ current goals and strategies of the United Nations, visit their website: www.UN.org.

Or so it should be in the university press. "The Constitution has established as the supreme law of the land the guarantees of free speech and a free press with a prohibition against the government at any level of any branch infringing thereon," wrote Louis Ingelhart. The question that remains is if this protection of verbal and written freedom of expression extends to the nation's 3500 plus colleges and universities. So begins the debate. "Wanted: Teacher willing to advise student publications Must not allow students to write about controversial issues, damage the school's reputation with quality reporting or upset students, parents or the community with the truth. Must realize that a school publication is a publicrelations device. Potential advisers who emphasize First Amendment rights need not apply" The fact that very few campus newspapers are completely independent of the college overseeing them complicates the issues over how much freedom they are entitled to. Cal State San Marcos' student paper, The Pride, for example, receives rent-free office space on campus and approximately half of its funding from the university Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding. The other half credence to student publications is self-sufficient, coming from being entitled to funding - which cannot be reduced or eliminated advertisement revenue. due to content-related issues, as Francine Martinez, CSUSM described by journalism profesVice President for Student sor Louis Ingelhart. Affairs, explains IRA funding as a, "fee revenue that is paid by students each semester. The current fee is $5 per student per term." Martinez added that the IRA Fee "is designated for activities that support the academic/ instructional programs of the University. Student newspapers [are] an example of the type of activities supported by this fee on our campus" There is a proposal submission process, which The Pride goes through each year in order to receive this funding. The ASI president is the chair of the IRA committee, which reviews all proposals and makes recommendations to the university president. The president makes the final recommendations as to who receives IRA allocations for the following year. Fiscal support, such as that received by The Pride, is not unique to CSUSM. According to journalist Eric Campbell, only 22 student newspapers in the country are completely independent. In fact, courts give formal At CSUSM, even Rick Moore, Director of Communications, whose job it is to create a positive reputation for the university, said, "I would be proud of our campus student newspaper if it [was] fair and balanced. I do not expect it to be consistently positive about the campus." press, or prefer to ignore these restrictions." Thereby, the freedom to which student journalists are entitled is not always taken advantage of. Nor is this a staunch freedom that goes unchallenged. New cases are perpetually brought to court where a party believes their constitutional right to freedom of the written word has somehow been thwarted at a campus newspaper. Currently, the editors of a student publication at Governors State University in Illinois have filed a lawsuit in federal court. The two editors complain that their paper was literally shut down after they printed attacks on professors and administrators for being "antagonistic to student concerns" This case is being closely watched by student-press and professional-journalism organizations for the impact it may have upon future policies. Despite the lack of complete autonomy from the university, many campus newspapers are free from the control of their faculty or administration. This makes student newspapers peerlessly unique, as no other publications are free from the censorship of their publisher, which is the university in this case. In these circumstances, though, immunity is seen as necessary for publications to function as credible sources of information instead of extensions of university advertising. The United States judicial system has upheld this necessity with Numerous court rulings granting that public colleges have more power to regulate what is taught in the classrooms than what is printed Not all cases of infringement in the campus newspaper, as upon student journalists' rights reported by political activist have the luxury of becoming so John K.

A former staff writer for The Babbler, the student newspaper at Lipscomb University in Tennessee, commented on experi-. ences with the newspaper's faculty advisor. "When talking about story ideas, I was repeatedly told not to be disappointed if something negative [about Lipscomb] didn't get printed... That's just the way it was," said the former writer. (Student's name is withheld in a protection of privacy.) Jonathan Poullard, CSUSM Dean of Students, said he wants to hear the truth reported about the campus workings, but he wants to hear all the truth. "Don't give me half the story," said Poullard. Poullard expounded that at the' multiple universities for which he has worked, administrators, faculty, and students criticize the lack of angles provided in student newspapers. One-sidedness or lack of multiple sources used in news stories is a common criticism of student newspapers across the nation. Student reporters are often inexperienced and are always working under impeding deadlines that compete Fortunately, the circumstances with other coursework.

In a parody of what some See PRESS, page 16 �Mastering the Job Interview By TERESA MCNULTY Pride Staff Writer On Oct. 15 at 8 p.m., the Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity hosted an Interview workshop with Bank of America recruiter Maria Pancotti. Pancotti gave insights and suggestions for settling the nerves that all of the students will eventually encounter when looking for a job. Pancotti's first -suggestion was to be ready to relax/ She explained most interviewers or recruiters understand nerves and try to put individuals at ease, so she insisted, "Go ahead and relax!" One way to help the relaxation part is to be prepared. Pancotti recommends making sure that applicants know ahead of time exactly what job people are applying for and the qualifications needed for that job. Also, people should try to find out what kind of interview they will be having: whether it is a panel interview, a oneon-one interview or a phone interview makes a difference in the process. Pancotti also suggested calling beforehand to do research on the position that applicants are applying for and investigating in advance as to whether the position is a service oriented job or a data entry position. Going to an interview unaware of these things may damage an applicant's chances for getting the job, said Pancotti. Also, many companies have websites now, where people might be able to get a better knowledge about the culture of the company. Pancotti feels it is most important that when applicants arrive to the interview they show energy and dignity and exude confidence. Wear appropriate clothing; conservative and professional over trendy is usually best. She recommended wearing a very light fragrance, nothing overwhelming because some individuals have allergies. Pancotti also offers a reminder, "The interview starts the moment you walk in the door." She also recommended being courteous to everyone, which means the receptionist, too. Recruiters sometimes ask the receptionist about their opinion. Furthermore, recruiters will be looking at the overall presentation that applicants' offer, and everything counts. Pancotti suggests "bringing a copy of the resume in a folder or a briefcase." She also added, "Bring your day timer or a calendar with you. Occasionally, a second interview is required and applicants will need to make the appointment at that time. Also, bringing the exact phone numbers of professional references helps. Sometimes people will go directly to the second interview, so that second resume helps. The resume does not have to look fancy; it just has to have your skills and be easy to read. The simpler the better is usually best," said Pancotti. If possible, applicants are encouraged to do some roleplaying before the interview. Ask a friend to help. Be prepared to answer "Behavioral Based Interview" questions such as; tell me about a time... or a specific experience when you came up with an idea that improved a situation. The answers should be based on actual experiences. Other questions might be "Describe your most significant accomplishment for which your received recognition?" Answers might start like, "A week ago, I helped my boss.. " Pancotti insisted never to lie about the answers given in the interview. She said, "Liars stop looking at the interviewer and tend to loose focus. We can always tell." So she insisted, "Always, be honest and tell the truth" In addition, people should be prepared to answer questions regarding their weaknesses. This is why Pancotti suggested turning the question into a positive answer, for instance, "I work too hard or I am overly organized." Some other common questions include: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Why are you leaving your current position? Good answers to the last question would be lack of growth or seeing better opportunities in the job applicants are applying for. When answering questions, the interviewee should be sure to communicate clearly and completely, and if they are not sure how they sound, they are recommended to tape themselves or go over their answers with a friend. Having questions for the interviewer shows that applicants are prepared. If possible, the interviewee should go ahead and write the questions down and bring them to the interview. Pancotti's suggestions for good questions would be asking "What characteristics would make the applicant more successful in this position," in which applicants should highlight their qualities and say what they can do to follow the suggestions given by the interviewers. Asking for more information about the actual duties of the hiring position is also helpful; the last question should always be to ask for the next step. This question implies asking if they will call or if they will write. Also, writing a thank you letter is a good thing to do. According to Pancotti, if there are many applicants, people will want to stand out and writing a thank you letter can help. Some individuals might write in the letter "Remember I was number one on my sales team in my previous position." Maintaining eye contact during the interview; connecting with the interviewer; taking time to answer questions; not offering too much personal information; and avoid talking about your husband or children were other suggestions made by Pancotti. Pancotti added that recruiters want to talk about the applicants' skills and qualifications and that this should be kept simple. Pancotti concluded, "At the end of the interview people should feel comfortable and relaxed but without forgetting to bring the most important thing to the interview, a great smile!"

(ASI) Programming Board braved the day's dark clouds and harsh air on their mission to entertain CSUSM students during "Take a Break Tuesday" activity held on Oct. 15, between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. For this event, seven Cal State §an Marcos students, John Gehris, Rhawnie Gauthier, Julie Kroeger, Angi Hardin, Brett Gladys and Briza Juarez enticed, bribed, begged and harassed anyone standing on Founder's Plaza to increase their batting average in the huge inflatable batting cage. The enormous playpen was set up between Academic and Science Halls and provided many college students an opportunity to retreat to their adolescent memories of recess on the jungle gym. The ominous gray sky, chilling wind, and the precipitous rain clouds were no match for the programming board members' sunny dispositions. Armed with big smiles, enthusiastic energy, and musical bullhorns, several members of the programming team went to the corners of the quad to pull in prospective players. Gehris often stopped random passersby and challenged them to "swing batter batter, swing batter batter." Some CSUSM students were not lured onto the playful atmosphere, Maria Schroeder, ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative remembered ducking and dodging the ball instead of sending it into the outfield the last time she entered the cages. With a smile on her face, she tugged her arm away from the persistent John Gehris, as she exclaimed, "No way, I almost broke my ankle and lost my shoe the last time I got in that thing!" ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, Valerie Cuevas, offered her opinion of the. day's activities saying, "It went very well, over 70 students participated... it provided a great escape from papers and projects for students to just have fun." Cuevas encouraged everyone to participate in the fun activities scheduled in this series on the third Tuesday of every month. The cold California weather had students standing in line with blue lips and shivering torsos jumping from side to side in an effort to keep warm (in the miserably cold weather that never got below 65 degrees). Many were anxious to strut their stuff for fantasy bragging rights about how many balls they "smacked out of the park," joked one student before he pounded away at the ball. �W^MSMmm S u b s Then Jook to your good neighbor State Farnf agent.

The Ring, originally titled Ring, was adopted form a highly regarded Japanese thriller originally by Hideo Nakata. The English version of The Ring, directed by Gore Verbinski (The Mexican), stars Naomi Watts (Mulholland Drive), Martin Henderson (Windtalkers), and David Dorfman (Panic). While not all the cast are mainstream popular actors and actresses, the characters portrayed come together to make an entertaining shock movie about an urban legend focusing around a videotape. However, when watching this movie, which I suggest you do, please don't meddle on what is not believable, it will ruin the experience. The main gist of this movie is based on the "what i f ' factor, so just go with it. This movie revolves around a videotape but manages to be fairly entertaining, I would suggest this movie to anyone who likes a fairly scary movie that makes you think. and a little bit on the lame side, you are right. But, since when does a Hollywood movie need a believable plot? Especially when dealing with a movie that's based upon a fictional urban legend. Dark imagery foreshadow events. Image courtesy of Dreamworks. The urban legend in The Ring is about a mysterious videotape, whose mystery is only exceeded by its power because the movie will kill you after viewing it. When this video is watched, the viewers will not only be scared, but receive a phone call immediately afterwards explaining that they will have 7 days left to live. This movie received a rating of PG-13, but deals with fairly mature subject matter. Similar movies include the Blair Witch, or the Sixth Sense. The Ring will leave you with a little more on your mind to digest/ The Concept of something as simple as a video causing your death is really something to think about, especially after breaking down all the moments of the movie that tie into the tape. This is what The Ring exactly portrays.' Overall, this is the type of movie that leaves you thinking the moment you see the first credit rolling, not to mention the variety of different actions from person to person about the numerous intellectual and emotional experiences developed throughout the movie. The afterlife and fascination with death has got us all thinking once or twice, and The Ring will expand, and maybe even broaden your horizons on the issue. take it upon herself to get to the bottom of what exactly this tape is about and how it causes the unknown deaths. Dragging other friends and family into the mix, Rachel is sent through a hectic journey to solve the mystery of the tape. As all good movies shock you and make you jump out of your seat, The Ring is no exception. Through out the movie numerous men and women found themselves either jolting around in their chairs or giving a girly scream out of fright. Starting with a series of unknown deaths, Rachel, a Seattle news writer, played by Naomi Watts, gets the scoop of the deadly tape and cannot resist the temptation to watch. After viewing the tape, and receiving Now, if you're thinking this the call of death, Rachel must plot sounds somewhat stretched Before you die, you see the ring. Image courtesy of Dreamworks.

I would describe Jack's music as soulful, lazy, Saturday guitar tunes that occasionally are hinted with a touch of blues, hip-hop, and reggae inflections. From what I have gathered from many websites dedicated to Jack and his music, he is Jack, 27 years old, who was born and raised in Hawaii started surfing pretty much as soon as he began to walk. He surfed competitively as a teenager with a Quicksilver contract and a reputation as an up and coming pro surfer, but he was not the type who enjoyed major competition. After a near fatal surfing accident, Jack turned his back on his surfing career and moved to the mainland to study film at UCSB. most of his songs from his album and tried out some new ones on At one point in the concert, the crowd. I noticed people talkJack said, "I love playing in San ing, laughing, drinking, and just Diego. I love the fact that all of enjoying each other's company. you sing along with me. This is As a musician, filmmaker, the reason I started to write in the first place, so people would sing and pro surfer, Jack Johnson has along with me." I feel that he is proven to follow through with his definitely not letting the fame go interests and loves. He definitely straight to his head. It was like is a musician for the people. I the whole crowd was sitting on truly enjoyed his concert and did his front porch just enjoying the not feel like just another dollar. day and listening and singing His music is the kind of music some great songs. you can commute with, party with, or just relax with. If you are He took requests for songs to interested in knowing more about sing and then also played some his music, go to his website at covers of Bob Dylan and Bob www.jackjohnsonmusic.com. Marley songs. He also played soothed by the tunes. ! 1 Jack's musical talent was discovered here in San Diego. He started off playing $2.00 shows in Encinitas, before he started to get more recognition. Jack is just another person who enjoyed playing the guitar and jamming with friends after a good day of surfing. Jack is definitely a laid back kind of guy who really just plays music, because he loves it and not for the money. Rumor has it that he avoided the big wig recording studios in regards to his second album and is heading back to his brother's garage in Oahu, Hawaii to compile it. His first album, Brushfire Fairytales, has been a huge hit. It has sold over 200,000 copies since its release in 2001.1 also have noticed great popularity and definitely big playtime on local radio stations as well as nationwide recognition on Billboards.com. I was surprised to see such a laid back gathering of people at the concert. It was more like a party gathering than a concert. There was no certain demographic at the concert. I saw fans as young as gradeschool age and all the way up to people that looked to be my parent's age. There were definitely many college students .from all sorts of local colleges and universities. My group consisted of CSUSM students as well as SDSU students. We all enjoyed the intimate setting where we felt relaxed and "CALIFORNIA J D/PMD - H istory o r P o l i t i c a l S c i e n c e t l M - T rial A d v o c a c y M CL/LLM - C omparative L a w OF CONCENTRATION C hild, F amily, E lder L a w K y s tic e l u a !

I was not suggesting that we just eliminate these "ethnic" literature pieces from being studied; I was saying that these pieces should be included in the American Literature class because the authors are just as American as any of the other authors that are currently included. For instance, Thomas Paine, the author of "Common Sense", was born and raised in England, but his work is commonly found in the "Regular" American Literature class. What makes him more American than let's say Hamden Connecticut born and raised Ruth Ozeki, who wrote "My Year of Meats," a book often read in the Multiethnic American Literature 450 class. Why should she be considered a Multi-Ethnic American individual and Paine By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer As the November 5th election rapidly approaches, we need to educate ourselves about the candidates and issues. That is the major problem: we need to educate ourselves. No professors to lecture us. No mandatory readings to pump information into our heads. Self-education pushes us out of our comfort zone. It takes discipline. Ultimately, whom we vote for (or don't vote for) could be the deciding vote in an important legislation such as Congress's recent debate on war in Iraq. not? It is similar to implying that Paine, a man from England, has no ethnicity. It is asinine to have a class that separates "EthnicAmerican" pieces from "American" pieces, because what the university is saying by doing this is, that the authors in the plain old American Literature class have no ethnicities. In addition to this oversight, the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal, something we learned back in the Civil Rights movement is simply wrong. Also, why did you point out that the university catalog says that, "Literature 450 examines texts through thematic and historical frameworks in order to view them as products of varying culture and historical circumstances?" Are you suggesting that in American Literature 309A and 309B that the university disregards the varying historical and cultural changes that were occurring during the American Revolution, the treatment of the Native Americans, contemporary politics are not youth-oriented. True, politicians intentionally gear their ad campaigns and discussions towards the older generation of voters, knowing full well that only 32 percent of voters aged 18 to 24 turned out to vote in the 1996 presidential election. Which one should come first: politicians directing issues towards young voters, or young voters making an appearance on voting day? As soon as students take a more proactive approach to voting, and simultaneously assuming the burden of a massive amount of votes, then the politicians will listen. and the narratives of the slaves? to connect their writing to one Have you ever taken any of these nation, they are, and should be classes? considered American.

Take taxes for example: Taxes are a fundamental part of America and will affect how the youth of this nation votes in the future. Why, then, should taxes not effect how much we vote presently? Another popular point of contention is that a single vote will not influence the outcome of an election. Contrary to this accepted notion, a single vote has more impact due to the Electoral College. Instead of mixing with 100 million votes across the country, the vote cast stays in the state of its voter. Each ballot compares exclusively with other Many young voters do not ballots from that state.

Fraternities and sororities didn't serve any purpose to me, and my reaction to those students who were in them was laughable. All of that changed this semester when an active fraternity member, who explained and help me to understand the purpose and meaning of a fraternity, befriended me. During the first couple weeks of school, you can't but help notice the huge signs of our fraternity and sorority's letters decorating the campus along with their members behind tables encouraging new students to join.

How many of us can actually name off at least six people (excluding family) that would have our backs as friends, no matter what! Most of us could only name off three if we are lucky. Therefore, after you have looked a little deeper behind the stereotype imposed upon fraternities you will start to understand the actual extent of them. I encourage anyone who is still wondering or is just curious to seek out your answers and quit believing in the same stereotypes that have been circulating for years. �W ar P anel W ay T oo S ubjective By TRAVIS OLP Pride Staff Writer Last Thursday, I attended the Progressive Activist Network (PAN) war forum held here on campus. I showed up expecting a stimulating and interactive discussion. Instead, I was subjected to a panel that said the same thing, just in different terms. If it was PAN's intention to educate the student body and raise the level of awareness as they claimed, they should have done it from an impartial viewpoint. Instead, the afternoon was nothing but a reflection of their liberal stance as a student union. debate is that mainstream media does not provide objectivity Overall, the forum was not and factual information in their open whatsoever. Several of broadcasts. Why, then, presthis reporter's questions remain ent a discussion that is simply unanswered due to the fact that slanted from a different angle? there was not a true opportunity Just as PAN member Steven to ask them. Although there was Schultz touted, "This here is the a favorable student response, the essence of democracy, starting afternoon was not audience-ori- with awareness." Really, it was ented whatsoever. I was not able an avenue for PAN to push their to collect so much as a single agenda, not for a round-table quote from a member of the lis- debate. teners. They never had a chance to ask questions, either. Several questions remain unrequited. If Iraq does have This was fine. However, one weapons of mass destruction, of the underlying themes of the and does ultimately decide to use them, how will history look at us if we sit back idly and do nothing? If Saddam gassed 10,000 of his own people to quell an uprising, are we justified in ousting him from power? After an attack on our own soil, are we warranted in retaliating with such force? None of these issues were remotely addressed. Especially at the collegiate level, we as Americans need to take pride in a democratic system that even allows for debates like this to take place. True democracy incorporates the voice of every- one. Clearly, this was not the case on Thursday. Don't misunderstand me. I believe the beauty of politics lies in its innate nature of contention. No one ever said democracy wouldn't be messy. However, if one side cries out that they are being treated unjustly, the answer is not to create a meeting of the minds where all the minds think alike. At the next student union sponsored debate, more attention and respect should be. granted to others' viewpoints. " Cal S tate S quares" R esponse In regard to the article in The Pride regarding Cal State Squares, it should be noted that the writer failed to complete her research on the questions posed during the game. Had she asked ASI what the source of their questions was, she would have found that all of our questions pertaining to the University came from the University Library Archives. As ASI believes that source to be reliable, we accept their informa- tion as accurate. In addition, in a conversation with Rick Moore, University Communications Director, and Barbara Bashein, VP for External Affairs, it was agreed that the official mascot of the University is the Cougar, not the Tukwut.

Finally, I am sure you realize that in the original Hollywood Squares game, the individuals in the squares sometimes intentionally provide wrong answers to the questions, attempting to throw the contestants off. It is clear that the President of the University was doing this when he answered the question. To suggest otherwise is really unfounded and a stretch. In response to the second issue you raised, ASI is cognizant of how the Hollywood Squares game is played. Our original intent was to have only one round i n each game, and yes, we do realize that is a deviation from the original game. Our first game went much quicker than anticipated, so we decided to play three rounds in the second game to extend the time duration; thus, there was a difference You certainly have the right between the two games. to print whatever you choose. I am simply disappointed that your writer chose not to do the research on the article and then offered information to your readers that was inaccurate. I thought the integrity of the Pride writers was higher. Sincerely, Keith B. Keith Speers Executive Director Associate Students, Inc. Cal State San Marcos 760.750.4990 A Response to Keith Speers Letter This letter is a response to the letter that was sent to the pride by Keith Speers, regarding the article that written on Cal State Squares. I am the author of the article and sat in the crowd the day of the event. I wanted to respond to your concerns in the following way: In response to your comment about me not doing the research, I have no need to find out where you specifically got the answers to your questions. Just as you believed that you were lookiiig to a reliable source when finding your answers, I believed I was doing the same when asking Rick Moore, who is public relations for the university, who the mascot was of the university. He said himself that the Tukwut was the mascot. I asked specifically if the, the TUkwut, was the same thing as the cougar and was given the response of yes. Rick Moore now claims that he made a mistake and said that he was unaware that the two things were different. The fact that he did not know what the mascot of PS: I agree with Martha Sarabia. There are tons of Spanish speakSincerely, ers on this community and pubErman Gokcimen lishing articles in Spanish is not wrong for the sake of diversity. If there were over couple hundred the university was seems unacceptable to me being that he is in the position he is. In my article I quoted his response to my question. That is what he said, even if he is now saying that he was mistaken. My quote was accurate. Furthermore, the contestant answered the question with the response: "The Tukwut, the cougar," implying that the two were the same. You made no distinction to him to imply that they were different. Although it may not be in the rules of Hollywood Squares to clarify, when even Rick Moore answers the question wrong, you must know that you have asked a bad question. In regards to the first round being played wrong, I called your office and was told that it was supposed to be three rounds, but that you had made a mistake. otherwise. President Gonzalez had no business answering the question wrong that the university was founded. It looks bad on the part of the university for him to not answer that correctly, and he should have enough business sense to know that, regardless of the fact that it is occasionally done on Hollywood squares. It is absolutely not a stretch to state the fact of what happened at the game, and that's what I did. I never gave my opinion on the matter, but stated the fact that it occurred. I did plenty of research, and left out many other mistakes that were made, including multiple names being pulled out of the box at one time when the contestants were being drawn. I would appreciate if the next time you feel that the Pride misrepresents something, that you do YOUR research and find That is the exact thing I was out that your own office gave that told and I can not be responsible information to me! if I am given the wrong information by the source. If it was your S i n c e r e T 1y , initial intent to have only one Melissa Reed round in each game, your office was unaware of that and told me students on this campus who spoke Serbian, I would say, yeah go ahead and publish something Civan Erman Gokcimen in Serbian, but please, let's not President, International Club come up with ridiculous ideas just to oppose articles in Spanish. �Response to Crystal Rodriguez Critique In response to Crystal J. Rodriguez on the "Separate but Not Equal" article: I think you are missing the point. I don't think Melissa Reed has a "Utopianistic" view of American diversity. I think we can all agree that tolerance of diversity in America is not what it should be. However, one way off getting one step closer is to stop alienating certain cultures by lumping them together under the heading of "Ethnic". That says that cultures of African, Mexican or Japanese origin are different than "real" or "normal" (read: white) American culture. Literature and Writing majors should not be forced to take classes on Ethnic Literature; they should be forced to take classes on American Literature, which by definition should already include different backgrounds. Another option would be to not call any class "American" and give them all descriptive names such as I don't think the objective of an ethnic studies course is wrong. We should all have the opportunity to learn about knowledge piece of paper is probably valued more than the education itself.

Pride is correct, errors occurred Therefore, my conclusion is that during the "Cal State Squares" this was a comedy of errors. The conclusion leads to another question. How does ASI or the CSUSM administration remedy the errors? First, the ASI or administration admits the errors occurred and publicly apologizes to those adversely affected by those errors. Second, the ASI or administration awards those adversely affected the equivalent award then those previously awarded without adversely affecting those students already awarded. Third, when having future competitions, the ASI or administration selects individuals that are competent and can maintain the integrity of the competitions. I write to point out some misunderstandings in your story about "Cal State Squares." The initial question was "Is the Tukwut the official mascot of Cal State San Marcos?" The correct answer is no, because the Cougar is the mascot. paper won't mean very much. On the other hand what one has really learned the knowledge one has achieved on the road to the B.A. is what is of fundamental importance. The message here is learn for the sake of learning. Al-Salam Carol Stern that CSUSM talks the talk and walks the walk when it comes to values articulated by CSUSM. If CSUSM ASI and CSUSM administration do not act to remedy the errors, it colors the perception of whether CSUSM really believes in the values of integrity and inclusiveness Therefore, I hope that the CSUSM ASI and administration will take action that maintains the institution's integrity and is congruent with the values articulated at www.csusm.edu/ mission statement030700.htm Submitted By, Rob Christensen If the CSUSM ASI and admin- CSUSM Founding Student and istration acts as previously Alumnus suggested, it demonstrates Critique of Cal State Squares Article Editors and Melissa Reed, different cultures.

Andrea McPhaul CSUSM student My name is Alex McKeirnan and i am a junior. I grew up speaking one language only, english, I live in the United States of America and the language of this country is english. I personally think that there should be no spanish section in the school newspaper, and to be fair there should be no other sections in different languages. I understand that some people grew up speaking spanish, but we are not in those countries, spanish is not the primary language in the USA. If the staff decides to put in a spanish section, then there should be a section in every other language represented at this school including, but not limited to: spanish, Serbian, german, french, japanese, tagalag, arabic, Chinese, etc... There has to be equality in all areas.

Some of the highlights included versions of both the United States and Filipino national anthems. The APSS also showcased two different forms of Filipino folk dancing. The Binasuan, performed by Cheryl Arbitria, involves balancing three glasses of rice wine (substituted on campus by kiwistrawberry Shasta) while moving through a sequence of exotic and difficult contortions. The Tiniklin, performed by members of the APSS, is a choreographed dance that requires perfect synchronization of the dancers, and incorporates the tapping of poles which are laidflaton the ground and tapped to the beat by fellow performers.

Along with Dimaandal, this tribute to Filipino-American culture featured a number of musical groups/artists ranging from alternative rock to rap to techno. One of the crowd favorites was the "Squids of Fury," who are a San Diego based break-dancing crew who performed on the very unforgiving medium of concrete. When asked about the long term goals of the APSS, Joy Francisco (Director of Publicity/ Historian for the APSS) responded by saying that the immediate goal of the fledgling organization (established in the Spring of 2002) was simply to inform the public of the existence and relevance of Asian Pacific society in San Diego.

SDCHCC is a non-profit organization that provides many different programs and services for the Hispanic entrepreneur. It also has a scholarship program for graduating high school students and has approved scholarships for some college students, according to Roberto Villareal, which can earn them up to $1000. According to SDCHCC, they helped raise over $350,000 in scholarships for the future of the Hispanic youth, and they are focusing on building a solid foundation for the community, starting with the Hispanic youth and business community. SDCHCC also offers internships for students majoring in International Business. Villareal says that they have a program with San Diego State University (SDSU) but sees no problem with students of Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) enlisting in the program if they are willing to take the time and follow through. The organization was established in 1989, primarily to access the $10 billion Hispanic buying power. The new organization is now the fastest growing Hispanic Chamber out of six states in the western United States. "Our role as a Hispanic Chamber is to advocate small businesses particularly Hispanic businesses," Villareal says. Membership in the organization entitles small business owners to collaborate with each other, creating business ventures amongst themselves. Membership also entitles the business owners to an exclusive mailing list, which gives the Hispanic business owner an edge.

While clouds covered the sky and frigid breezes filtered through Founders' Plaza, the crowds were minimal. "Maybe it could be held inside next year," suggested many Southern Californian fairweather-fans. With a reportedly high percentage of Cal State San Marcos students going on to graduate school, the fact that the weather could have significantly marginalized the utility of the fair came as a surprise. Bettina HSber, CSUSM Director of Analytic Studies reported from a survey taken in the Spring of 1999 that 45 percent of Cal State San Marcos students, having received their bachelors degree, enrolled in a graduate studies program within one year. See GRAD FAIR, page 3 The Career and Assessment Center hosts the event annually to provide a forum for students to informally meet with a variety of graduate school representatives, to ask questions about schools and programs, and to collect informative materials. This year, the fair was extended an extra hour to last from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., due to student requests made "after last year's fair.

Sack and Mauldin also explained that medical Schools suggest that it is a necessity to have at least one letter of recommendation from a professor that a student knew well. They need to know personal information about the applicant that conveys a willingness to persevere. A student may have multiple letters from professors of classes that he/she aced, but that do not explain anything about his/her personality. It is better to have a letter from a professor of a class in which the student received a C+ especially if it means the professor can vouch for that student's character. Sack also commented about CSUSM, "It's smaller and more intimate, you really get to know your professors, and there are labs for each science class.

The list of schools to be invited comes primarily from recommendations made by faculty and students. that, "as a small campus, we don't get as much attendance as other schools do." But that is starting to change as"many schools are now taking notice of CSUSM," continued Buck-Allen. Last year; 52 graduate school programs attended the fair. This year the number rose to 72.

As chess players know, lowed by immediate approval, this opening is quite passive, and i t was clear, everyone knew who the king of chess would be. As Kemper explained, "In a game like this, I had to go down with my guns blazing." It was a truly fitting ending to such a match; these competitors brought out the best in each other. William Kemper, now fifty dollars richer with hisfirstprize cougar card, walks away to battle another day.

Previamente el centro estaba en SDSU and in its beginnings, The National Institute of Health gave funding to the center. Dr. Fernando I. Soriano, CSUSM associate professor and program director of Human Development, was just named one of the 100 Most Influential Hispanics in the U.S by the Hispanic Business Magazine. % Soriano, founder of the NLRC (National Latino Research Center) in 1997, fue sorprendido por el reconocimiento ya que no tenía conocimiento alguno sobre su nominación. Soriano received the news by an email that was sent by an acquaintance congratulating him for the recognition, and since then has received many more. "I was very shocked and kind of humbled," said Soriano. According to Soriano, knowing many Latinos in the nation who are doing so much for the Latino community, and who are deserving of this recognition, it is both gratifying and shocking. "Me siento muy afortunado de tener este conocimiento y ojala que la comunidad Latina tengan orgullo en esto, igual que los que no son Latinos sepan que los Latinos pueden lograr igual éxito a los que no son Latinos," dijo Soriano. Compiled by AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer The Great Bridal Expo Anaheim Convention Center Saturday, November 2 Dr. Fernando I. Soriano. Photo by Tristan Nickey. Sobre el efecto de su reconocimiento en su vida, Soriano said, "It [the recognition] gives me an opportunity to serve as a role model especially to children and adolescents, and I think that role modeling for kids is very special." He also added jokingly, "I wish I had the money that went with that." La página de Internet del Hispanic Business magazine listed la fundación del NLRC as well as the participation of Soriano in the Census Bureau's Advisory Committee on the Hispanic population como sus cualidades principales. The recipients ofthis recognition were determined by survey results conducted by the magazine. However, Soriano never received anything from the magazine's editor or publishers, saying anything of his nomination or his recognition. La razón principal por la cual Soriano decidió venir a Cal State San Marcos fue debido al gran apoyo que la universidad demostró para apoyar el NLRC. "I wanted to make sure that the center had a good home, that it would have strong institutional support for the center; it looked like Cal State San Marcos seemed to be very interested in Latino research and Latino issues so it seemed like a good home for the center." Soriano said that since then, "the center has been doing very well." He added, "We Calend Los temas investigados en el NLRC, de acuerdo con Soriano, Sobre su persona Soriano son muy diversos pero la mayoría mencionó, "I see myself son temas sociales que incluyen primarily as a professor, I don't la demografía, delincuencia e see myself as an administrator... información sobre los niños I see myself primarily as a latinos preescolares.

Sin embargo, este About the interest of other mismo equipo logro convocar people in learning other su primera conferencia donde languages, Soriano said, "It's más de 75 researchers and good to promote another aspiring new researchers de toda language because as the world la nación pudieron conocerse is shrinking, we need to become e intercambiar ideas sobre los a lot more involved with other Latinos and drug use, "When cultures and other countries. you are a Latino and you've Even apart from whether you are gone to school and youv'e Hispanic or Latino, it is going to gotten your Ph.D., you often become increasingly important are isolated and not with others that you learn a second language, who both validate you as an and what better language to learn than Spanish? We not only have a Spanish speaking country right next to us, but we have an entire Hispanic continent that is very large and that is right next to us as well. Promoting the use of language I think is very important." "We, as a country and as a region, should become much more multilingual and should promote the use of languages," added Soriano. De acuerdo con Soriano, the future of the U.S. is that it is going to become much more interdependent on other countries, as the current situation in Europe, where most Europeans speak more than one language due to their interdependence on other countries. "More and more people who are going out to the job market willfindthat some of the better opportunities for jobs are going to be given to those who are able to navigate through different cultures," he said. Soriano said that unfortunately, there are not many Latinos who hold Ph.D's, as well as there is a very low percentage of Latinos who go into 4-year colleges. Soriano mencionó algunos de los factores influyendo a este bajo porcentaje que incluyen la falta de role models; falta de apoyo y conocimiento de las escuelas, profesores y directores, al igual que la falta de confianza que estos ponen en los estudiantes latinos; los exámenes subjetivos aplicados temprano en la vida académica que afectan la motivación y el auto estima de estos niños; y el pertenecer a familias de bajos recursos donde los padres no tienen la educación y el tiempo para guiar a sus hijos y sobre todo donde hay un stress económico. "Todo esto constituye una barrera muy grande," dijo Soriano. También añadió que hay muchos otros factores que afectan este porcentaje. una responsabilidad muy grande y como nuestra población tiene muchos problemas económicos y educacionales especialmente los latinos que tienen educación o los que están ahorita en la escuela tienen una gran responsabilidad de terminar la escuela de hacer bien en la escuela y luego después demostrar la habilidad y los éxitos que pueden logran por el bien de ellos como también de la comunidad Latina," añadió Soriano motivando a los Latinos a seguir adelante. Soriano obtuvo su Bachelor's Degree in Psychology at UC Riverside and his Master's as well as Ph.D. at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Soriano is currently teaching three classes at CSUSM: two sections of HD 495 "Fieldwork Exposure In Human Development" and HD 497 "Research in Human Development" Nacido en Guadalajara, México, pero traído a los EE.UU. a la edad de un año, Soriano mandó un mensaje a los latinos. El dijo, "Cada Latino debe de tomar [la] oportunidad de lograr un nivel de éxito más grande de lo que sus padres han logrado y NOTE: This is a languageque lo hagan no solamente por contact journal article; ellos mismos pero también por it's intended to be in both la población en general Latina, languages. que están viendo en ellos las esperanzas de ellos mismos."

By DESMOND BARCA Pride Design Editor On Oct. 29th 1997, five years ago today, Anton Szander LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, was found dead by his family in his Los Angeles home. His death at age 67 was the result of heart failure. Halloween 1997 marked the end of LaVey's life, but to the annoyance of Christians everywhere, it did not mark the end of his legacy. The Church of Satan is still going strong, admitting new members every day from all over the world. Satanism has long been a frightening and mysterious concept in western culture. While there is little evidence that the hundreds of thousands of people who were tortured and executed throughout history for being Satanist were anything more than social misfits or radicals, the perception of a secret devil worshipping society has long been perceived to exist. Thanks to LaVey, this concept has become a reality, though not exactly according to a Christian understanding. Most people do not have a clue about what Satanism is today. The historical understanding of the satanic creates so strong a picture that it is difficult to approach the Church of Satan objectively. When most people think of Satanists, images of human sacrifice, blood rituals, and infant theft instantly come to mind. However, modern day Satanism, of the variety practiced by members of the Church of Satan, has little to do with these stereotypes. The church of Satan, aside from its name and being the result of a rebellion against Judeo-Christian values, has very little to do with Christianity.

KRONE Sports Editor The Cal State San Marcos women's golf team shot a two-day, 36 hole total of 655 (320-335), their best score as a team for this fall season. This earned the Lady Cougars an 8th place finish at the Oct. 2 2 - 23 Matador Fall Classic. Hosted by Cal State University Northridge, 11 teams participated at Olivas Park in Ventura, with an exact yardage total of 6,017 within the 72-par golf course.

I respect Amy's passion for her belief in the mistake of the Pride. I wds born in San Diego and I am notfluentin Spanish. Seeing the Spanish Sec* tion actually inspired me, the fact that it had no English translation made me even more curious to find out what it said. It also made me think about how those at our school who do speak and read Spanish, what about their view? What a joy for them to open the school paper and be able to read an article in their native language, maybe even the language the learned first I think it is reasonable for Amy to request English side-by-side with the Spanish article. Although, the editor, Maria Sarabia brings up that space and time make it impossible. My suggestion as a fellow English speaking student is to FIGURE IT OUT! We are at CSUSM to learn and to grow. There are resources out there we can use as students to understand the world. This includes Spanish, if necessaiy...to read the school paper. If you have Internet access (tiy using the school lab) log onto a website suchaswww.fieetranslation.com. Here you can translate words or entire passages in multiple languages. I believe you can go to www.csusm.edu/pride/ highlight the Spanish article copy it and have it translated for you on the website. We need to be more accepting of the changes happening around us. There is Spanish written on almpst all store products and their directions. Even songs on the radio use both English and Spanish in the same song. [i.e. Angie Martinez"If I can go...contigo (with you)]. I could go on with examples but I think we can all start looking for these occurances in our own surroundings. Fm sorry to those who are\were offended by the Spanish section, I hope that in the future we as students can pull together all possible resources to better understand the Pride as well as the world around us. Nicole Capatanos Senior, Liberal Studies This is letter is in response to Oct 8th's "Opinion About The Pride Spanish Section" I wasfranklysurprised that Ms. Granite took such offense with the article written in Spanish in our school's newspaper. This university was founded oh the ideal of multiculturalism and social justice. That a school newspaper would be broadminded enough to publish a small section where Spanish speakers can read in their native language would seem to be a positive rather than a negative. I would venture to guess that there are many, many students on this campus who, while maybe not fluent Spanish speakers, have yet studied Spanish at some point in their educational career, as I have. I personally enjoyed the challenge of putting my hardearned Spanish skills to practical use in trying to read the passage. It's not like the article was written in Croatian or some obscure language. This is a language that is so prevalent in our area that if hearing it or reading it offends us; we may be living in the wrong area.

Copeland argues for separation of school and state, by replacing our arcane educational system, rooted in the nineteenth century industrial America, with a private educational system that encourages innovation, creativity and effective choices for parents in teaching all our children. The state shall pass no law that interferes with an individual's right to self-determination, unless said individual violates the right of another. The government shall not conduct business nor be the entity of a business operation which otherwise can be provided by the private sector. Copeland calls for an end to the state income tax.

T H E PRIDE TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2002 w ww.csusm.edu/pride/ VOL.X NO.X CSUSM Celebrates Eighth Día de los actor, Pedro Infante. The altar was beautifully decorated with a guitar, tequila bottle, and "pan de muerto," or bread of the dead, which is used ceremonially. It is believed that biting into skullshaped candy hidden inside the bread will bring good luck. Upon being asked which one of the team members slaved over a hot oven and baked the "pan de muerto," humanities student Efrain Carrillo replied, "One of the guys in the group bought it." By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer In the Americas about 3,000 years ago, many indigenous civilizations, including the Aztecs, celebrated the dead by having month-long festivities in the hopes that the dead would return and pay them a short visit. For CSUSM that day was last Tuesday at Palm Court with the main celebration from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Although the sacrificing of virgins did not take place, celebrations took place with Veracruzan music, courtesy of the band "Suaveson," and the setting up of altars in honor of great people from the past. Although many students forced into volunteering time by a requirement of humanities classes, many were their their also Cathy Nguyen, Student Health Services Health Educator, along with Cathy Gremett, Student Health Services Medical Receptionist, and Tim Bills, Assistant Altars are erected on Dia de los Muertos in remembrance of Dean of Students, built an alter the dead.

As of today there are 2,947 people confirmed dead, 27 reported dead, and 25 reported missing, which brings the total to 2,999 people." Their alter displayed a model of the twin towers, a fireman's cap, and a binder which had a list, consisting of many pages, of the victims. Although the majority of people in today's society mourns death and sees it as a bad thing, the Aztecs saw it as part of life and it was celebrated. The Day of the Dead, which is one of the longest celebrated rituals in the Americas, was originally celebrated at the end of July and beginning of August by the Aztecs and other MesoAmerican civilizations between 500 and 3,000 years ago.

Gonzalez said the problems were, "a collective action over time, but eventually the buck has to stop somewhere. Since I'm president it stops in my office." The problems were first made public in a Chancellor's Office audit this past July. The chancellor's audit charged that by combining state and private funds the CSUSM MBA program was in violation of CSU policy. According to Gonzalez, "the institution has to shoulder some responsibility for inadequate management" and "while there were procedures and practices that were violated by faculty and by administrators, it was an administrative error that allowed the program to develop as it did." In response to the chancellor's audit findings, Gonzalez appointed an internal investigation committee to investigate the audit's charges and to report back to him with their recommendations.

By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer The American Language and Culture Institute (ALCI) sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest for its students last Thursday in Founder's Plaza from 12: 00-1:00 p.m. "For most of the students, this will be their first time celebrating Halloween in the United States," said ALCI Student Services Coordinator Dulce Dorado.

This meeting took place on Thursday, Oct. 27th at 6:30 p.m. Larry Olsen, Event Coordinator of the Friends, offered his knowledge on overdevelopment of the ridgeline. Dr. Kimberly Knowles-Yanez, Cal State San Marcos' Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, spoke of her expertise in sustain^ able development. Incumbents and their opposition voiced campaign promises about visions of the future of San Marcos, and people of San Marcos came together in order to voice their opinions concerning matters of development. Olsen began the meeting with the agenda of opening remarks about the future of the ridgeline above Cal State San Marcos. The concerns expressed an emphatic urgency to curb the destruction of a natural piece of the community environment. The goals of the Friends is to establish awareness about decisive planning , issues, as well as to implement and increase natural areas for the community of San Marcos and to expand unity within a structurally developing community. Another goal is to establish a community that promotes healthy, sustainable growth, while maintaining a strong economy that contributes to an enjoyable "livability" in San Marcos, The Friends of Cerro de Las Posas understand the complexities about the smart growth of a community. Olsen expressed that smart growth is vital to the overall development of a growing city. He also implied that fast growth would endanger the native habitat of ridgeline. The proposition of a 150-acre golf course angers many citizens who are concerned with the calculated development of San Marcos' nature preserves. Previously, the community developed a long-standing plan to build -Griffith Jenkins Griffith, Park Commission, civic philanthropist, advocate of parklands, and fervent speaker of recreation for the health of Los Angeles." equity within the approach of a sustainable environment. She described the positive equity San Marcos obtained by sustaining and building a university. Double Peak boasts a moderate 5-mile terrain above Cal State San Marcos suitable for all forms of outdoor activity with an elevation gain of 1000 feet. The environment poses a spectacular view of surrounding North County and is the second highest peak in San Marcos. Olsen expressed, "Double The surrounding view shows the Peak Regional Park was the orig- community of San Marcos.

Olsen's concerns grew as San Elijo Hills applied for a Conditional Use permit in order to construct a professional golf course. Construction of a golf course would eliminate the prospect of Double Peak Regional Park. The design of Double Peaks Park would include numerous trails, a substantial park for the community, open fields, nature sits and possibly an area to include entertainment venues. The Town Hall meeting proceeded to construct a vision of San Marcos by allowing candidates to speak about their views. Some candidates chose to speak about other issues concerning their campaigns. Candidate's promised to improve the future of San Marcos. San Marcos citizens and students remain key elements of smart growth. Citizens are the reason for the creation of nature preserves. San Marcos needs development with the implemental understanding of the environment, economics and equity. Knowles-Yanez said, "[you are] not born a citizen, you learn how to become a citizen...

Moore's attempt to connect the area's largest employer and the number one weapons manufacturer in the United States, Lockheed Martin, with the violent condition is pure irony at its best. It is also coincidental that the day of the Columbine killings was also the largest single-day barrage of American-financed bombs raining down on Kosovo. By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer This movie is a must see for everyone. Bowling for Columbine is a documentary that takes a provocative look at guns and violence in America. It looks inside the minds of America and asks the question, "why?" I highly recommend that everyone see this movie, as it affects moviegoers and makes them above all THINK! Due to the complexity of the documentary, viewers may find themselves thinking about something totally different than the person sitting next to them. Startling facts were presented in this film regarding the following countries reporting their annual death tolls by gunfire being: Germany (381), France (255), Canada (165), the United Kingdom (68), Australia (65), Japan (39), and the USA leading the group by reporting a shocking 11,127 people. Another notable fact is that there are 10 million families in Canada, 7 million guns owned, and yet it has one of the lowest death rates caused by guns. Bowling for Columbine opened October 18th at Landmark theaters in Hillcrest and struck a chord within millions of people, beginning at opening night. This film offers satire, thoughtprovoking statements, and it is also a film that will not please everyone. Filmmaker Michael Moore is an investigative reporter, who presents, his findings through documentaries. He is credited with making pragmatic films such as Roger and Me, The Big One, and now, Bowling for Columbine, where he examines the social paradigms inherent in different sects of society. His directing tactics have been labeled as guerrillafilmmaking,because he does not censor his convictions or attempt to hide the truth from his audiences. CSUSM student Phuong Nguyen, a Communications major, commented on Michael Moore, saying, "Mike's smart, f un, witty, and whimsical. He has the uncanny ability to present issues relevant to all Americans in a way that doesn't alienate them." The title c omes-from the fact that the two individuals responsible for the tragedy at Columbine High School went bowling on the morning before Other notable interviews throughout the film include Marilyn Manson, Dick Clark, Michael Moore, writer, producer and director of Bowling for and a surprising interview with Columbine.

CSUSM student Nguyen also said, "I was really frightened by the fact that we have such an obsession with guns and how easy it is for us to access them in America. I didn't want to piss off anyone in the theater for fear that they would pull out a gun and point it at me. I want to move to Canada!" This film is definitely a controversial look into America's fixation with fear, violence, and guns. It will make some people angry. The main messages that Moore attempts to share is that the 2nd Amendment of the "right to bear arms," does not mean that we have the right to use them on others. It conveyed an observation that Americans tend to rely on themselves to resolve conflicts instead of the government. He also suggests that fear, enhanced by the media's obsession with death and violent crime, may be the root cause of America's death-by-gun problem. Whether you agree with the director's conclusions after seeing this film isn't the issue - it is that you recognize the problem. This documented investigation surely will encourage people to really think about tough issues that America faces during this day in age. Go see this film with others, because you will want someone with whom to discuss this film, right alter you see it. Seeing the film should be mandatory for Americans. When interviewed at the Cannes Film Festival, Moore stated, "I thought it would be interesting to take a journey through this culture of fear. Most journalism does | be who, what, when; where, andhow questions, but very few people in the media a& why does this happen! Why do we have 250 million guns in our homes especially when thei^'s been a huge decrease in crime?" �Radical Approach to Self-Defense By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer Students who have taken the R.A.D. more than once say that it only gets better with time. Malorie Acevedo, 14, has taken R. A.D. classes since the age of 9 and delights in the fact that "there is always something new." On a dark and stormy night, a stranger approaches his victim in an alleyway. A struggle ensues but the woman being attacked successfully defends herself and manages to safely escape. This woman, along with thousands of other women nationwide, was ready to defend herself thanks to R.A.D. Patti Kinney, a CSUSM employee for Student Residential Life, has taken the R.A.D. class and was very satisfied with what she learned. "I leave each class session feeling excited; I give this course 100%++! I am so happy with what I have learned so far that I plan on continuing the R.A.D. training to the advanced level," she commented. R.A.D. (Rape Aggression Defense) was developed by Larry Nadeau in 1989. To ensure that women of all ages would be capable of performing these methods, he tested all techniques on his mother perform prior to holding classes. Once he was sure that they worked, he compiled them into a 50-page self-defense handbook, which is used widely in classes today. R.A.D. students during simulation. Photo by Amber Rossland. This 12-hour basic self-defense course offers women instruction and practice in ways to fend off an attacker without the use of weapons, according to CSUSM R.A.D. instructor, Barbara Sainz. "This class shows you the more practical side of life; you will enjoy it, but you will also walk away with the skills needed to survive an attack," she added. It is now available at over 400 universities nationwide and is instructed by a select few law enforcement officers who are specially trained to teach these defense techniques. Sainz is one of three volunteers who teach the CSUSM R.A.D. class, along with her husband, Mario Sainz and Marlon Estepa, both CSUSM police officers. All three instructors freely give much of their time and efforts to educate women - young and old alike - in the art of self-defense. "Our goal is to teach realistic techniques to empower women," added Officer Sainz. When the instructors were asked why they enjoy doing this, Sainz remarked, "We love it Life Director, Bridget Blanshan, because we get to meet wonder- has been a R.A.D. enthusiast, as ful people." well as an instructor, for years.

Kinney was so satisfied with the training she received in the R.A.D. class that she plans to join the newest club on campus, C.A.S.A. Founded by CSUSM student, Carey Moya, This club was established to encourage more female students to join in on protecting themselves. C.A.S.A. is an acronym for Cougars Active Self-Defense Association, which is scheduled to start weekly club meetings on campus in ACD 301 beginning Nov. 12 at 3 p.m. This CSUSM club will encourage women to defend themselves and promote the usage of safety techniques. The next scheduled R.A.D. classes begin in early November. Due to lack of space on campus, CSUSM's R.A.D. classes are presently offered across the 78 freeway at the Regional Emergency Training Center in San Marcos. The cost for lifetime training is $20, which goes to fund maintenance of equipment and training materials. For more information on R.A.D. classes, visit: www.csusm.edu/rad/ or call 760-750-4567.

Due to the intense nature of the simulation exercise, students are debriefed and given a wellness check before being allowed to leave. The debriefing period is also used to point out to students how well they did, and to cheer for their performance and enhanced skills.

CSUSM Student Residential S Y S T E M S �" Latinologues" l lega a S an D iego Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal La obra de teatro "Latino logues" llega a San Diego. En su primer día de estreno, el viernes nov. 25, los actores latinos Rick Nájera, René Lavan y Lina Acosta recibieron una ovación de pie al final de dicha presentación. Najera es nativo de San Diego, Lavan es cubano y Acosta es colombiana creando así un mosaico latino. "Latinologues" es una obra cómica de teatro donde los actores usan las experiencias de los latinos en los Estados Unidos para crear una noche de entretenimiento total. Los actores representan a personajes de diferentes países latinos y recrean las vidas de ellos en Estados Unidos en diferentes escenas. Estas escenas son en mayor parte monólogos con algunas excepciones en donde más de un actor actúa. La comedia tiene alrededor de 10 monólogos y dura un poco menos de dos horas. Algunos de los temas representados en la obra incluyen la inmigración de los latinos a EE.UU. y sus experiencias con "la migra", al igual que la versión del pasaje P I C o m e d y W i t h o u t B orders Courtesy Illustration / The Pride de la Biblia donde Moisés es conLos actores hacen un excelente siderado el líder del pueblo judío, trabajo al representar sus perque en este caso es el "Mexican sonajes tan humorísticamente y Moses" interpretado por Nájera. en la mayoría de los casos tan El popular y controversial realísticamente.

Cabe destacar que además de haber escrito esta comedia, de dirigirla y estelarizarla, Nájera tiene una calidad humorística innata ya que su interpretación no es solamente excelente pero es súper divertida. Nájera escribió que no hay una experiencia latina como no hay una experiencia americana. Él escribió que en ningún otro lugar la experiencia latina es más relevante que en San Diego y que un solo monólogo no puede contar la historia de la experiencia latina. "Entretenimiento es mi primer prioridad para una audiencia," dijo Nájera. Sin embargo, cabe destacar que algunos de los personajes femeninos interpretados por Acosta son muy estereotípicos. Este es el caso de las jóvenes embarazadas a temprana edad, al igual que la presentación de las latinas como personas pasionales representadas en un monólogo. Desafortunadamente, como lo demuestran las estadísticas, el caso de las adolescentes embarazadas es la triste realidad, ya que hay muchas latinas jóvenes en esta situación, pero en el caso de la ardiente mujer latina no deja de ser estereotípico y muy machista ya que no todas las latinas son tan sensuales.

La gran parte del guión es en inglés; sin embargo, los actores usan palabras en español desde el principio hasta el final de la obra. Sin el sabor y significado de estas palabras, definitivamente la obra no sería igual de divertida y mucho menos realista. La luz y el sonido tanto como la escenografía son de buen gusto. Las paredes móviles permiten que el escenario se ajuste a la escena; el piso es una representación del calendario azteca; y el vestuario es una buena representación de los personajes y va de acuerdo con lo satírico y en ocasiones exagerado de la obra. Además, hay una pequeña pantalla que refleja fotos e información de la siguiente escena a la audiencia. "Latinologues" sé ha presentado en toda la nación en varias formas. La comedia también tuvo una presentación especial donde más actores latinos participaron y los fondos recaudados en esta presentación serán donados a Project Concern International, que es una organización de beneficencia dedicada a proveer el tan necesitado cuidado de salud a los niños de Tijuana y San Diego. Este fue el caso de la presentación del 26 de octubre donde Jacob Vargas, de la película Trafile; el actor venezolano Fernando Carrillo, de la telenovela mexicana Rosalinda; Roselyn Sánchez, d eRushHour2 y otros actores latinos participaron. Recuerden que hay que apoyar al verdadero talento latino. Así que si tienen la oportunidad de asistir a esta comedia, no dejen de hacerlo. La comedia estará en San Diego hasta el domingo 24 de noviembre en el Teatro Lyceum del San Diego Repertory Theatre localizado en Downtown San Diego en Horton Plaza. Interesados pueden visitar sandiegorep.com para mayor información. El costo de los boletos varía dependiendo el día y la hora de la presentación.

We visited all the local hot spots like "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball," Club " Curve" "Studio 54," and the after-hours club, "Seven." In actuality, Anderson was my friend Theresa, and Rock was her boyfriend, Mike, but after putting back a couple of drinks at the table, Vegas vacationers couldn't tell the difference. And we didn't t ell Angels, S&M lovers, and monsters. One man had a costume completely made out of peacock feathers glued directly to his body. One of the girls had a costume made in a similar fashion with rose petals. Another beautiful and daring woman had a costume that was made out of "CAUTION" tape wrapped around lier three times in thé right spots to cover what she had to. Some of the more a m u sin g couples were a Priest and an altar boy, Pebbles and Bam-Bam all grown up, and Adam and Eve. "The Fetish and Fantasy Ball" is an annual party held on the last Saturday before Halloween. The party calls for scantily dressed females and monstrous males to dress in the most exotic I went as Little Red Riding clothes they can find and attend a Hood, but my costume failed costume party in the Las Vegas in comparison to these really Sports Arena. fabulous get-ups.

Although there were 5,000 partygoers at the event, it wasn't the jampacked atmosphere that one may expect at a club. The Sports Arena was cooled to 65 degrees, far too cold for Little Red Riding Hood, and so we left to go to club C urve.. ting people into the unused portion of the VIP section. Drinks at this club were about $9 a piece, reasonable for Vegas, and so we stayed and danced for a few hours. By 3 am the club was emptying out and so we went to the after-hours club, Seven.

This was a far better club than I expected it to be with a lot of f un people. The cover in this club is $20 for men on the weekends and always free for women. The Go-Go Dancing Girls and Boys on pedestals i n the club were great dancers and very attractive. The music was a mix of top forty and old school from the seventies and eighties. About every hour they had a performer twirling down from the ceiling, or something like bubbles falling from above. The club was three levels with two large dance floors and plenty of sitting room, VIP or not. Drinks were $9-10 dollars a piece but the bartenders do buybacks if you tip them. The club is open from 104 but was mostly empty by 3 am when we left. Halloween in Vegas is definitely a great time, but book far in advance, otherwise the rooms and the airfare can be a bit pricey.

She shows a typical lack of understanding of both the history and mechanics of prejudice and discrimination in America and twists the usage of words out of their historical context. On the one hand, she says ethnic literature pieces should be included in American Literature and not put into sepa- rate courses. On the other, she ignores the pervasive belief by Whites that they are not raced and that "ethnicity" is reserved for people of color. While she is correct that those of British and other European origins are also "ethnic", this is not how this term is used by the vast majority of White Americans. To imply that putting ethnic literature in a separate course is "asinine" reflects her underlying attitudes and beliefs and ignorance of past struggles to incorporate them in traditional American Literature classes.

In keeping with Ms. Sarabia's previously published and herein quoted article, The Pride is obligated to publish articles and/or letters in languages other than English. Let's truly celebrate diversity! it clear to me that many parents and teachers from the dominant group in our society (e.g., those of European descent or "White ethnics" in Ms. Reed's terms) continually resist attempts to broaden the American Literature curriculum to include the works of so-called "non-traditional" (read People of Color) authors in a majority of the middle and high schools and many colleges across America. The scarcity of truly "American" (as Ms. Reed puts it) Literature and History courses has resulted in the creation of Ethnic Studies Programs across America, because people of color often had no other avenues to achieve these goals. drawing attention to certain ethnicities at the expense of others ("discrimination" she calls it), this assumes that the dominant European culture would pay much attention to these "ethnicities" if this were not done. The history of the struggles for such reform in the past has demonstrated how difficult it is. The day it will be possible to have truly "American" literature classes throughout the land without the need for separate multiethnic classes will be a major milestone, but it is not at all clear that we have reached that point. It is sad and disheartening to see people, who apparently know little about the Civil Rights Era and what it meant to people at that time, turn the language of this important period against the very people íwho have been seeking equal opportunity for all in America (e.g,"the university is promoting the idea of separate but equal." ). My experiences as an educator involved in cultural and race relations both inside and outside the United States (e.g., Peace Corps teacher in Africa, director of student exchange programs, chair of the multicultural committee at Palomar College, ombudsman for the Poway Unified School District) have made Sincerely, Rebecca Lagger Junior Philip de Barros Adjunct Professor CSUSM If Ms. Reed believes that one is Take the Class!

Actually, I bet most of you who are reading this article have not seen these movies, if any of them. Why is that? Is it that most o f these movies have almost a complete black cast? Is it that promotion of these movies was inadequate? Or could it be that these movies were targeted for a specific audience? Or could it be that most of these movies make E schew O bfuscation Eschew - To avoid; shun Obfuscate - To make so confused or opaque as to be difficult to perceive or understand; for instance: "A great effort was made to obfuscate the truth." Travis Olp's recent articles in The Pride regarding the Progressive Activists Network's (PAN) recent War Forum were misrepresentative and misleading. The point of this forum was to give student? a chance to hear a side of the discourse regarding the proposed war on Iraq that is typically obscured by our national media. The two articles, a "news" piece entitled, "PAN Hosts War Forum" and White America take an introspective look about the past and the present of how Blacks have been mistreated and are continually mistreated on a more covert level. And, yet no one wants to take any responsibility. What paints an even clearer picture is when you take a look around the movie theaters and see who attends a movie such as the recently released comedy Barber Shop, or the overlooked shocking epic of a whole town being burned to ashes in the movie "Rosewood". From my own observation more times than not it is more probable to see a more diverse group of people in the theater where blacks are portrayed in comical situations than in dramatic social conscious roles. It is much easier viewing a film where black actors are making f un of themselves or cracking jokes about each others mama than to watch the innocent be wrongly accused, discriminated against, beaten, and/or killed. Anytime we go see a movie we would love to walk out of a movie feeling light-hearted happy and giddy, but life isn't that way and never has been. To explore this further, did you ever stop to think why Halle Berry and Denzil Washington with their long list of credits, accolades, and in depth his opinion piece entitled, "War Panel Way Too Subjective" were both replete with symptoms of a larger problem inherent in both The Pride and mainstream media in general. The problem is that contemporary "news" coverage in our society has become little more than a collection of sound bytes with typically very little explanation of the sound bytes. When there is explanation given, it's usually as brief and lacking in substance as the sound byte that was given. Contemporary media is not entirely to blame for this problem: As consumers of this "news", we validate this shoddy reporting every time we see stories like those written by Olp and his national media counterparts when we don't speak up, clarify their misrepresentations, and demand substantiate this quote, "..innate that they do a better job. nature of contention." Innate nature is redundant, "[quoting Here are some quotes from panelist Prof. Seleski] The right Olp's articles that are either false, has to understand it is not the misrepresentative, or examples of '30's. The left has to understand it shoddy reporting: "...Erick Roper is not the '60's." Olp assumes we gave...concise dissertations..." all know what she meant, "..the Concise dissertation, is an forum was not open whatsoever." oxymoron; if _ "They [students] never you aren't sure L , t , l l U K d had a chance to ask how to spell someone's name, questions, either." FALSE. PAN ask someone who does. "His President Manal Yamout, more [panelist Dick Eiden] passionate than once told the audience if and liberal beliefs came blazing they wanted to ask questions that through..." What is meant by, they could step up to the mic, "liberal beliefs"? Are we to which a couple students, most assume everyone defines that the notably a Canadian student, did. same? " 'If the government tells "I was not able to collect so much the truth, it is a coincidence', as a single quote from a member said Eiden." Olp doesn't see fit of the listeners." Don't blame to tell his readers even one of PAN for your inadequacies as a the many examples Eiden gave to reporter Olp. character portrayals, why each of them finally won an Oscar for portraying some of the most life, troubled, shady, trashy, characters in their careers? Hundreds of movies are released each year, but what is more interesting is to recognize which and what films get the most publicity and who goes to see them. I cannot force a person to watch and pay for something they refuse to deal with or refuse to believe exists. In our media driven society, we have been programmed to think that if a situation or a problem has no direct effect on me, then I don't have to deal with it. But I am making you think about why you have overlooked these films and what your rational or more importantly your excuse was for not seeing them. I challenge you to come out from your comfort zone for just one evening and see one of the films that I mentioned regardless of how uncomfortable or squeamish they may make you feel. If you have a hard time watching these films and are left wondering how could anyone have endured such injustice, then most likely you got the point of the movie. Olp got one thing right, "..it [the forum] was an avenue for PAN to push their agenda.." One item on that agenda is to expose students to perspectives they are not normally exposed to. PAN didn't include pro-war speakers on the panel because that's all anyone ever hears on this subject in the mainstream media anyways. I could continue to clarify other inadequacies from Olp's articles but I've already exceeded my sound byte limit: Students wanting further clarifications should contact me at roper004@csusm.edu.

Not only is Coffman a bodybuilding champion and a former manager of the Gold's Gym Nutritionalysis Program, but she is also a graduate of Northwestern Instructor Training in anatomy. She took first place in many national bodybuilding events, including the 1998 Los Angeles Bodybuilding Championship, the 1996 Vancouver Natural Bodybuilding Championship, and first place and best poser in the 1996 Ft.

SDPD Wages War on Racial Profiling By CHRIS MARTIN Pride Staff Writer Sergeant Robert Lewis of the San Diego Police Department gave a symposium on the problems surrounding racial profiling in San Diego County at 1:00 p.m. last Thursday in Academic Hall, room 402. Lewis, who has been on the force for 17 years, is the department's expert on racial profiling and works as a community relations officer liaison to Chief of Police David Bejarano. According to Lewis and the SDPD, "Any officer who targets a citizen based solely on their race and for no other reason, that officer is guilty of racial profiling." Even during a time in this nation's history when people have seen a dramatic reduction in crime in virtually every major city in America over the last 10 years, the subject of racial profiling has remained a veritable hotbed of controversy. What makes this issue so controversial is not only the fact that it is almost impossible to prove that a person has been a victim of racial profiling, but that it is, at times, even more difficult to discern whether or not people have actually been racially profiled in the first place. From Jan. to Dec. 2000, the SDPD participated in a "vehicle stop study" in order to provide the community with a comprehensive view of vehicle stops conducted by its officers. According to Lewis, the desired outcome of this study was to help the police and the surrounding communities achieve a better understanding of police practices and to ensure fairness. The SDPD believes that by instituting the study, they can allay public perception of racial profiling by officers, strengthen police/community partnership, and retain trust and credibility with citizens. The department was also confident that the results of the data would prove that they honor their claim that they do not practice racial profiling. . Contrary to department claims, the results of the study showed that Hispanics and African Americans were overrepresented in vehicle stops in comparison to San Diego's driving-age resident population. Hispanics represent 20.2 percent of the population in San Diego, but they represented 29 percent of all vehicle stops. Similarly, African Americans represent 8 percent of the population of San Diego, but they represented 11.7 percent of two-pronged attack. First, they vehicle stops in 2000. intend to participate in more in-depth analyses to clarify and Furthermore, the study shows explain apparent patterns in that once stopped, Hispanics and the vehicle stop data.

Faces of America Confronts Race Relations By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Fran de Leon performed in the play Faces of America Friday, October 25, at Miramar College in San Diego. The unorthodox one-performer show is a commentary on race relations and racial and ethnic stereotypes in the United States. Faces of America was coproduced by Colin Cox and Fran de Leon. Cox wrote the script based on interviews with approximately 100 individuals from different racial and ethnic backgrounds. In addition t a de Leon, four other actors perform the show at alternate times as it tours the country. De Leon gave an amazing performance, portraying seven different characters from seven different racial/ethnic groups during the one-hour show. Using facial expressions, gestures, accents, posture, various idioms, and superficial costume changes de Leon presented the audience with seven vivid char- acters and seven different angles on race relations in the United States. Co-producer Cox's script is bursting with nuance and insightfulness. The characters dialogue captures their feelings and internal thought processes with a precision and economy that is startling, and de Leon executes the script so effortlessly that the show appears almost improvised. generation American. Along the same lines, a PhilippineAmerican doctor recounts her experiences with the tenacious assumption that as a female of Philippine ancestry she must be a nurse. Significantly, many of the characters are of mixed racial and ethnic backgrounds and their struggles to come up with precise linear definitions of their race and ethnicity provides both an element of humor and a key to The structure of Faces of one of the themes of the show.

An African-American man who has earned a PhD and achieved economic prosperity reflects that, in spite of his hard work, many Caucasians assume that he has stolen his BMW and is using his cell phone to conduct drug deals. The message of the show is built into its very structure. As mentioned earlier, many of the characters are of mixed ancestry and strain at identifying themselves along racial or ethnic lines. This situation makes clear that defining individuals in terms of race and ethnicity is intrinsically racist and unworkable. Modern changes in demographics will ultimately render such distinctions obsolete. The inexorable tide of travel, immigration, and intermarriage will sweep away the older views of race and ethnicity. The fact that one Asian woman can so deftly portray people from several different racial and ethnic groups is a credit to Fran de Leon's acting ability; however, it is also and indication of how superficial the perceived differences between these groups really are. Some of the characters in Faces of America dwell on their disadvantages almost to the point of becoming caricatures. The melancholic descriptions they give of their wounded lives border on masochism. Yet, this overstatement is not merely an incidental flaw in the show. By taking stereotypes to the breaking point of credibility the show damages the validity of those Faces of America receives its same stereotypes. funding from the colleges and other organizations who sponsor Faces of America works its performance for their students because it shows rather than tells and other members. the audience the inaccuracy and futility of racial stereotyping. �Treasure Today, Trash Tomorrow the design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age." Mierlè Laderman Ukeles is the first artist in residence at the New York Landfill on Stanton Island. By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer As the saying goes, one person's trash is another person's treasure. This is definitely true when it comes to environmental artist, Mierle Laderman Ukeles. She is the only artist in residence at the New York City Fresh Kills Landfill on Staten Island. About 100 people showed up last Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2002, for Ukeles' fascinating presentation on Maintenance Art. She began with her work in the 1970s, where she struggled to make known to the public the importance of maintenance workers from housewives to sanitation workers. One of Ukeles' earliest works involved the need for appreciation of security guards. Her point of view was that these security guards are in effect gatekeepers; they decide who gets in and who gets locked out. To prove her point to the public, she took over an art museum by selectively locking the doors, entrances, and exits to the different exhibits and the building itself. This re-enactment, on her part, of what security guards performed on a daily basis provided a strong connection between freedom and maintenance workers. Autumn in New York Perhaps one of the best-known displays of her artistry began on Nov. 7, 1974, on an east coast college campus. The exhibit was broken up into three installments as she took on the duties of a lawn maintenance worker. As this performance took place during autumn in New York, the changing of color and consequent death of leaves occurred all around throughout the display on the lawn. Her first challenge was to rake and keep clear a perfect rectangle on the lawn, without allowing a leaf to fall within the rectangle; this rectangle was the chosen portion of the lawn that would be saved from the suffocation by falling and dying leaves. Her next installment consisted of engineering a 50-foot long sanitary napkin for the 100- year old tree, which she metaphorically saw as being on its period. appreciation. California in a Jar In California, Ukeles is known for her work in providing closure for Los Angeles area residents after the riots of 1992. Since the riots involved so much fire and rage, Ukeles worked with the sanitation department to set up an exhibit of unburnings. People were invited to create unburnings in glass jars. Although, they were never told what an unburning was to look like, it was very much a process art in which the creation of the piece allowed for each person to release emotions brought on by the riots After the giant sanitary napkin and put them in a jar. was built at the base of the tree, she read aloud to the passing people, One high school boy built a small "O Tree, you are having your bed within his unburning jar, his period, everyone is saying how point being that now everyone in beautiful it is." the world can have a bed to dream in, even if it is only within a jar.

Her work with the New York sanitation department allowed more freedom for its employees.

The design of garbage should become the great public design of our age. I am talking about the whole picture: recycling facilities, transfer stations, trucks, landfills, receptacles, water treatment plants, and rivers. They will be the giant clocks and thermometers of our age that tell the time and the health of the air, the earth, and the water. They will be utterly ambitious - our public cathedrals. For if we are to survive, they will be our symbols for survival." After her presentation, she allowed for questions from the audience and offered advice to students. "Pile all of your dreams into here and mangle the boundaries while you are at it! As Chavez is a symbol for this university, this is the university of a chance for everyone. And if you believe in what you are doing, hang in there. When you get turned down, you keep trying because the jury will be different next time and they may love you. You keep going until they realize that you aren't going to leave," urged Ukeles. She ended her discussion with a photo of a gas field in the Fresh Kills Landfill, the final resting place of the World Trade Center that was destroyed nearly a year ago; making the truth well-known, what is considered a treasure today, may be considered trash tomorrow. Ukeles dedicated her presentation to her father, Rabbi Laderman of Denver, Co., as her presentation took place on the anniversary of his death. �ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Colors - an intrinsic, phenomenal, plethora of colors. Seussical the Musical toasts an acid trip specifically geared towards children and adults that revel in the sweet, seduction of childhood innocence. The loosely based, Seussical the Musical offered the message Dr. Seuss conveys in his books. Dr. Seuss directed messages to adults about political injustices and the simple fairness of treating people the way you want to be treated, if not better. The musical, conceived by Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flahery and Eric Idle, opened with an interpretation of people's situations and how these situations in turn affect other people. Seussical the Musical opened at the San Diego Concourse on Tuesday, Oct. 29 to an audience of whimsical children and adults alike. Magic filled the air as the curtain opened to past gymnast and actress, Cathy Rigby, as "the Cat in the Hat." Children stood mesmerized by the multitude of colors and the rhythm and rhyme of the musical. Seussical the Musical told a tale of simplicity.

It was raining last Saturday, the dirt bike trip was cancelled and the suggestion of wanting to go to a movie seemed appropriate. We went to the movie Ghost Ship, which was okay but definitely not as scary as Stephen King would have made it, but before leaving the theatre came the question, "Want to try and sneak into Jackass: The MovieV' I had no intention of paying to see this movie but the idea of sneaking in sounded like a good proposal. Please acknowledge that I am not suggesting anyone should sneak in. The problem is I am in my forties and so is my date and the idea of sneaking into movies should have ended a long time ago. We headed down the hall to the other side of the theatre and there was a manager checking tickets outside the entrance! I had never seen this before. The movie was sold out and there were kids under age trying to sneak in. "Can I help you, folks?" he asked politely. "Uhh, theatre 8?" "Down the other side of the theatre?" he says. "Thanks!" we say politely back and head back the other way. Darn are plans has been smashed. We decide to try for Barber Shop but we had to wait till the theatre was cleaned.

While waiting in line my date scoped out the situation. I noticed that we were not the only individuals trying to sneak into the movie. There were lots of disappointed, t-shirted guys in their twenties walking through the hallways saying, "Well, which movie do you want to go to then?" While waiting in line for the coke, my date said, "Okay he's moving away from the door, he's coming this way. Are you ready? Come on, come on, lets go!" We briskly start walking avoiding eye contact as we pass by the manager. Soon as we passed the manager we brpke into a full-blown sprint, at exactly the same time, two adolescent kids jump off the bench and break out into a run in front of us.

A P CUM SurfTeam Straggles jhraighlMWater SS SS By Joy Whitman For The Pride The ASI CSUSM surf team has been having a more difficult time earning points this season to become a top ten competitor in the national standings. Although the depth of the entire team has thickened, in comparison to their first season the new depth does not seem to be immediately paying off in their end results. Volunteer coach, Amber Puha, attributes these struggles to a lack of improvement from last season and levels of misfortune. In each of the past two events, there have been three out of six players that have advanced out of round one. Newcomer Grayson Adams was the sole survivor in round three at a Ventura event: The special teams unit seemed to be the teams' survival guide for these past two events. Longboarder Dustin Franks took one win at the first event in Ventura and a second place at event two, held at Blacks Beach on Nov. 2 and 3. Bodyboarder George Demarino and women shortboarder each helped keep the team afloat by clinching points and earning a second and fifth place at Blacks upon rebounding from the rough spots in the first few rounds. in thefinalround. In comparison to last years Ponto event held in Carlsbad, the team is down from 74 points with 6 out of 9 competitors and a sixth place finish. In Huntington last year, the team had scored 68 points with a 7th place finish gained by its 7 out of 9 competitors. Puha also recognizes the improvement by returning players, especially The team earned a total of 60 in the men's shortboard division points at Ventura and 69 points specifically from UCSD, SDSU at Blacks and earned a 10th place and USD. The question now remains a matter of how the CSUSM team will respond to this increased talent pool. They have two or more events remaining, not including state championships that will be their final chances to qualify them for nationals and to also prove themselves worthy of a shot at the national title.

KRONE Sports Editor California State University San Marcos won the men's cross country competition and the women's team came in as the runners-up at the Titan Invitational at Carbon Canyon Park in Brea on Friday Oct. 25th. The Cougar men were led by sophomore Rene Reyes, who dominated the men's individual 8K race with his first place finish. The CSUSM women were once again paced by the fabulous frosh, Anne Marie Byrne, who finished seventh in the women's 5K. The CSUSM men's team won the team championship with 24 points, ahead of second-place UCLA. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) ranked the men's team 4th nationwide. There were 76 runners and seven teams who participated in the tournament. "Overall, the whole group ran personal best times for the season. The course was prettyflat,but the grass was pretty mushy and slippery, which made it a bit difficult to run in," described Camille Wilborn, a CSUSM senior from Rancho Buena Vista High School in Oceanside. Reyes finished first overall with impressive time of 25: 36.1. Junior Robby McClendon improved his personal best by about 28 seconds with his third place time of 25:56.6. "I am hoping to PR (personal record) at regionals by at least another 20 seconds," McClendon, a business major out of Truckee, CA, insisted. He was followed by fifth place runner, junior Mike Shannon who earned a new personal record time of 26:03.7. Senior Brian Sullivan came in with a sixth place finish and time of 26:08.7.

This will allow them to be well-rested and to have fresh, strong legs when it matters most. "We run about 75 miles per week, but will soon be cutting it down to 40. We will pretty much be peaking for nationals," McClendon explained. The NAIA Regionals took place Saturday, November 9th, at Woodward Park in Fresno.

I used to say I would never leave the area but when it hit me that the average price of a house in San Diego is over $500, 000, I realized I must do something. Did you know that along the coast in North County, the average home cost up to $900,000 plus? Along the 78 freeway in North County, the average price for a house is close to $400,000's. With some variations depending on the area or city within the county, houses range from semi-low $300,000's to the low $400,000's.

X-Country Team Forms Blockade, Refuses Parking for Students By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer . In light of the recent discontinuation of curb parking, and despite the temporary lot, parking is still a major issue at CSUSM. Even if you decide that you will park in the temporary lot, as there are no other spaces, your car must be moved prior to 4 pm. Whoever thought of this brilliant plan was just a genius, because you know, here at CSUSM we only hold classes until 3:45 pm just like elementary schools, right? Wrong! Some people attend class from 9am until 7pm, so this means that students have-to take their breaks, assuming they have one long enough to walk to the lot and try to find another parking space in a paved lot. Plus, did this genius think of what is going to happen to the dirt parking lot when it starts raining? What about that dirt walkway on the slope to get out of the lot? As we enter our wettest time of the year, this may be something that the administration should have considered. then quickly gathered back up to make it impossible to drive down the row. They rudely shouted at passing cars that "this row is closed" and "no parking here." I decided that they were wrong; this was a parking lot, not a workout facility and I pulled into As if it weren't bad enough the spot despite their actions to that there are more cars than try keeping me out of it. suitable parking spaces as it is, the Cross Country team decided When I exited my vehicle, to hold their morning stretch in I inquired the team, coach the parking lot during rush hour included, as to why they were oh campus.

Then another After stalking my prey for member replied that the field parking, he told me that he was was in use by a physical educaparked right where the team tion class and thus they were was blocking his spot. They unable to stretch there. allowed for him to pull out but I decided that this was definitely a problem, not just for me, but also for the numerous vehicles stuck in the traffic jam caused by the obnoxious bunch. As I walked down to the field, I saw not a single person on the field or track, meaning no class was there at all. In response to their lie, I speculated that the cause for the Cross Country team's takeover in the parking lot was not due to a crowded field, which let's face it wouldn't be crowded if the school population stood on it, but due to the fact that the grass was cold and wet that morning and they didn't H opf want to get their shorts wet. Unfortunately, I think this is a horrible excuse for causing an early morning traffic jam, and I believe that disciplinary action should have been taken. Rather than an apology from the team, I received a sarcastic note on my windshield when I returned from class. The note stated, "Hope you have a better day." In response to the note, I would like to say on behalf of the student population, get out of our parking spaces and go where you belong and we would all have a much better day! y 0 u WAye A P.ETT ETL DAY . �Rock Your Own Vote Don't get me wrong.

Tristan Nickey The Pride / Photographer Fragmentation and the Cries of the Coyote By JAMES J. SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer V * Do you hear the cries of the coyotes as you leave your last class of the night? Or do you see them in the morning as they scatter across Twin Oaks? These top predators that dominate the coastal sage shrub and the chaparral ecosystems of Southern California are being pushed from their natural habitats due to fragmentation. The urban development rips free spaces from natural inhabitants like the coyote and other creatures. The recent real estate boom has put a big demand for new housing. Acre after acre animals like the coyote are driven closer to suburbia. Many domestic cats and dogs are found missing and yes it is possible that a coyote is responsible. But do you blame them? Not only are they affected by fragmentation but also so are many other animals like skunks, . squirrels, opossums and raccoons. Smaller creatures like reptiles suffer, too. Governing predators like the coyote, who dramatically change the consistency of the ecological communities will cause the decline in one species and the incline in another or vice-a-versa. Are humans so selfish that they have no regard for nature?

Ceremony Events Taylor spoke briefly about the origin of Veterans' Day including how, in 1921, it was originally called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of WWI arid to pay tribute to the Unknown Soldier. In 1954, in order to honor all those whov served in American wars, then-President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a bill proclaiming November 11th as Veterans' Day. Throughout the ceremony, two protestors sat off to one side. CSUSM student and army veteran Shawn Harris was protesting the ceremony and had upset some audience members, Harris was holding a sign that said, "rebuild America, not the military'^on one side and "read the foreign press" on the other side. When asked Harris said, "this university should not be allowed to become a forum to promote military activities." "This is a campus," he said, "not a military base."

More than 800 veterans attend classes at CSUSM and there are approximately 30 veterans on the faculty and staff.

The MBA chapter of the association is a separate sec- tion within the broader CSTTSM Mativ of the alumni pointed out SUSM tion any n Alumni Association. that press coverage was especially important in lieu of recent Overman explained that the negative press the CSUSM MBA previous attempt at an MBA program has received, regarding alumni association had fallen to an unauthorized commingling inertia and disinterest until it was of state and private funds in the revamped with the institution of program's management. new by-laws and committees in late 2001. More importantly, Alumni reactions about their the association is now geared association towards staging events and actively seeking recognition for Overman said that the alumni the association and the MBA association was "working hard program. to get new members for both the MBA alumni association and Overman's use of the power the MBA students association" word "revitalized" proved to be and this event was intended as a very appropriate, as vitality and first step in gaining recognition enthusiasm seemed to be the for the association. According unspoken themes of this event. to Overman, the association has o ™oi oil« a goal of eventually staging one event per month. After saying that the MBA chapter of the Alumni Association "allowed alumni to stay in touch with each other and Cal State San Marcos", Heather Manley, CSUSM's Director of Alumni Relations explained that CSUSM's MBA program produced itsfirstgraduate in 1996 and has been growing ever since. Manley further said that CSUSM's undergraduate business program has the largest enrollment of any program on campus and that these factors bode well for the future of both CSUSM's MBA program and the corresponding alumni associa- tion. President Ken Green, who was also the founding member of CSUSM's MBA Students Association, spoke earnestly about the goals of the alumni association. These goals included "serving as a conduit between MBA alumni and the university, and facilitating career growth for the alumni" Green, like all the association's officers, eagerly emphasized the association's desire to recruit new members. Vice-President Brick Longford said "We would like to get current MBA program students involved in the MBA student's association in anticipation of See MBA, page 2 �Free H igher E ducation Free higher education modeled after the G.I. Bill higher education. ByRIA CUSTODIO Arts Editor Dr. Reed began his presentation by emphasizing, "Every resident should have access to higher education with out financial constraint...It's a basic social right." On Wednesday, Nov. 13, at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) Dr. Adolph Reed Jr., professor of political science at New School University and award winner of the "Scholar of Vision," spoke of a call to action that could provide no-cost access to higher education for eligible students. This was a call to ignite the grassroots campaign sponsored by the Labor Party at the Labor Party Convention and Conference in Washington, DC in July 2002. Spring 2003 enrollment opened this November, and large student loans and debt accumulate within each class credit. A college degree can offer stability by securing more choices. Government education statistics prove that higher education gives people a chance to build a better life for themselves^ Therefore by following the Labor Party's guidelines, higher education at no-cost greatly increases social opportunities. CSUSM is one of many campuses that Dr. Reed will visit in his attempts to spark enthusiasm for developing a significant consensus for the Labor Party issues on "Free Higher Education." He wants students, faculty, and the community to gain an increased awareness of the need for no-cost mere pennies at over $23 billion compared to the massive annual federal budget. Allocation of government funds, without the increase of taxes, allows the government to divert corporate tax breaks to support the growing need for free post-secondary institutions. Dr. Reed implied that the free tuition policy covers two percent of the annual federal budget and is easily incorporated into the trillions of dollars going to corporations, airline bailouts, and government spending. As a staunch supporter of the Labor Party, Dr. Reed spoke of the imperativeness for residents to access higher education while revitalizing public institutions with marginal, implemental costs. "Free higher education doesn't cost a lot of money and The campaign on "Free you get a big bang for your Higher Education" assessed a buck!" proclaimed Dr. Reed. higher economic return leading to increased skills and income Within the statement of the gains. Nominal cost of tuition Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute could be consolidated into the (DJDI), the design for free higher government's largefiscalbudget. education starts with a plan modThe total cost of tuition, as eled by the United States G.I. explained by Dr. Reed, remains Bill. The G.I. Bill supported v eterans w ith full tuition. The DJDI quoted, "...report also found that each dollar spent educating that 40 percent alone produced a $6.90 return in national output due to extra education and increased Federal tax revenues for the extra income the beneficiaries earned." The free tuition campaign applies similar, progressive strategies as the military G.I. Bill, also known as the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944. After World War I, the G.I. Bill allowed veterans coming back from the war to attend college. The Federal Veteran's Administration (VA) said that this bill has had more impact on the American way of life than any law. The VA also said that President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill in order to motivate a desire to "spare the veteran and the nation the economic hardships that accompanied the return." The free higher education campaign is similar to the G.I. Bill because it establishes the same fundamental principle in a broader sense. Free higher education allocates funds to the larger population rather than small segment. Free higher education provides access to post-secondary institutions and affects the need for a higher level of education offered. The campaign stresses people taking local initiative to build solidarity for success through word of mouth and understanding the urgency to create a system for social reform of the polarization of higher education. By slowly building relationships with action, a diverse activism is created by revealing the need to depolarize colleges and Universities said Reed. To close the campaign, Dr. Reed, who heads Debs-JonesDouglass Institute in New York, implored, "Nothing is more effective than building personal relationships.. .building fundamental solidarities...Like you say.. .share the vision."

Pfeiler's speech centered around the effectiveness of applying basic business and economic principles to the conduct of local government, with explicit references to various aspects of the MBA program at CSUSM recognized and praised accomplishments include the forty films he produced on historical, social, and political issues and worldwide human rights. He won the Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award, the George Polk Award for Investigative Reporting, the First Amendment Award as well as an Emmy for Paul Jacobs and the Nuclear Gang. Born in New York City, Landau grew up in the southwest Bronx, near Yankee Stadium. His accreditations include a bachelors and masters in history, with a minor in sociology at the University of Wisconsin.

This is the chance for students to recognize faculty and staff for their Local School District Searching for Mentors Mentoring: A Possitive Experience for College Students By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor To be a mentor is to have an opportunity to impact various students who are neèd of academic help. Joan Helms, associate under the Wellness Department within the Poway Unified School District, along with the Poway Unified School District itself, will argue for more mentors, in order to positively impact their students as much as possible. They are looking for college students to be the mentors for their students. General Colin L. Powell (Ret.), Chairman of America's Promise and Secretary of State, talks about "Commitment makers," which are some individuals or organizations trying to make a difference by pledging their time, treasures, and resources towards helping our youth, is referencing, through Helm's interpretation, the role that mentors plays in the education process. Mentors are "commitment makers," says Helms. They pledge their time, treasures, being their education, and resources, college and experience, to help the nation's youth succeed in school. Helms is offering college students who can spend an hour every week throughout the remainder of the school year a chance to be "commitment makers." Mentoring is a positive process that allows the mentors, as well as their protégés, a chance to gain from their experience together. Helms commented, "Over 98 percent of mentored students said they have benefitedfromthe program by increased academic achievement, improved self- confidence, increased attendance at school, improved attitudes and improved self-control. In addition, mentors are sometimes credited with helping students to stay away from drugs and alcohol."

This American tradition is filled with family, pictures, memories, prayers, gratitude, and hope. Holiday spirit fills the air as we all long to make precious memories that will stay with us for our entire lives. Christmas is right around the corner and the New Year is following close in second. But everything starts with a lavish spread of Thanksgiving food including: mashed potatoes, yams, turkey, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. Lastly, we eat dessert. Dessert ia the final food that we enjoy on this holiday. I challenge you to* make it special and try out this recipe for "Impossible Pumpkin Pie." My mother discovered this recipe years ago on a Bisquick box. It has become a cherished favorite of our family for years and it can be yours, too. Many people enjoy the holiday rich foods, but also worry about the pounds it tends to add. With this recipe, you can enjoy the food and your trim body all at the same time. Just follow these simple instructions and be prepared to take a savory bite launching you into the holiday spirit. 1ngredients: 7) Bake at 350 degrees for 5055 minutes. 3 A cups sugar, 54 cup Bisquick, 8) Can be served with whipped 2 Tablespoons butter, 2 Vz cream. teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.), 13 oz Are you ready to fly into the can evaporated milk, 2 eggs, 16 holidays with ease?

That makes the pie not only less filling, but also lower in fat than a typical pumpkin pie. You know what that means, ladies? No more post holiday starving and binge workouts! My mother comments: "You will not believe how simple it is to make this pumpkin pie. It is less costly, lower in fat, and most importantly, it tastes great." Take my mother's advice and try out this recipe. You will not regret it and neither will your waist line. Happy holidays and enjoy our family's piece of pie. A Tastey Appetizer: Artichoke Heart Dip By MELISSA BUTTRELL For The Pride As everyone knows, Thanksgiving is a time to spend with your family but it is also a time for food. Everyone always stresses over what they are going to make for Thanksgiving dinner, but this is the trick. Here is a recipe for an appetizer to start your day off right. It is for Artichoke Heart Dip; it is simple and tastes great. And no one has all the time in the world to cook so this is good for everyone. But before you can start you will first need to get some ingredients from the store. 2 Large jars of marinated artichoke hearts 1 cup grated parmesan cheese 1 cup mayonnaise After you # have collected all your ingredients you are ready to begin. The first thing you will need to do is set your oven to 350 degrees. Drain and chop all artichoke hearts. Then put all your ingredients in a 9" by 13" glass pan and mix. Bake at 350 degrees for a good 20 to 25 minutes. Pull the pan out and allow it to cool. Do not forget to turn your oven off. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. If you are taking it on the road or to a house nearby, store it in something that will keep it warm. A nice carrying bag with a heating pad will work just fine. Your guests will be so impressed by the dish that they will think you slaved over the stove for hours, but I guess what they don't know won't kill them. Andrew's Apple Pumpkin Pie By ANDREW BEHNEMAN Vox The Pride The Best of Both Worlds here we are, the holiday season is on its way whether we like it or not. Thanksgiving is going to be here in aflashand then Christmas will be here before we know it. Before we get too far ahead of ourselves with the joy of Christmas let's not skip over all the incredible food that comes along with Thanksgiving. The aroma of the turkey is overwhelming. The moist stuffing and the buttery mashed potatoes sit heaped up in bowls on the table filled with cranberry sauce, biscuits, yams, and countless other sides. A must have for everyone's Thanksgiving is a pie of some sort. The most popular pies seem to be apple and pumpkin. Wouldn't it be great to combine both of those flavors into one pie? Well, we are going to do just that, and for all you cheap in Valley Center that makes the skates out there, we won't spend spread.

It will serve 7 to 8 people and is the final touch to any Thanksgiving Day dinner. The left over apple pumpkin spread has countless other uses. It tastes great on toast in the morning. It also goes well over oatmeal. My personal favorite is to pour it over a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream. �Get 2 FREE music C Ds and a $ 25 Bill Credit! J fepm togejfter.-^ Rock fogtìrtier.

Each competitor was given 45 seconds to prove him or herself as the most clever and wittiest rapper. Curtis Hansen, the genius behind the critically acclaimed LA Confidential, directed this film. Last Friday, Nov. 9, the controversial rapper, Eminem debuted in hisfirstcinematic role. Marshall Mathers plays Jimmy, a young white rapper living on "the other side" of 8 Mile in Chicago. 8 Mile is a reference Kim Basinger portrayed to a street that divides the social Rabbit's mom who lived in a classes in the city. "Rabbit," as trailer home with her daughter Jimmy is more casually called, and a man that Rabbit happened to go to the same high school with. Rabbit's mom takes him "I found it hard to get past back into her home after he and my own adoration and lust his girlfriend break up. However, her character is not emotionally for the star, Eminem" stable and finds means to shoot herself and Rabbit down. Mekhi and his friends, a group of young black men, frequent a particular Pfiefer plays Proof who is club in the less upscale area of Rabbit's closest confidant and town offering "battles," rapping Master of Ceremonies (MC) of competitions between two these battles. Another known people. The objective is to rap name would be Britney Murphey more eloquently than the other who plays Rabbit's love interest by means of mocking the other's Alex throughout the film. Although she is a background character, her role is essential in that she encourages Rabbit to go for his dreams and offers her beliefs that he has all the skill and talent to make those dreams a possibility. The audience later learns Alex has dreams of her own and does whatever she feels necessary to open a door to these dreams. Basinger, Pfiefer and Murphey offer solid co-star performances that complement the talent offered by Eminem. Personally, I thought the transition Eminem makes from a white rapper that many people hate, love or love to hate was smooth and honest He offers a character that struggles to get by working somewhere he would rather not be just to make ends meet, but also struggled with his own insecurities about whether or not he is good enough to make it in the competitive world of the music industry.

I think the movie is over acclaimed by critics and I honestly have to assess that I would give the film anywhere from two-and-a-half stars to three stars for its attempts to meet the requirements of a satisfactory and complete film.

For fact, some of the later scenes those who have seen What Lies of the film are comical and not Beneath or The Others, a similar fitted for the die-hard scary eerie effect awaits viewers in movie fans of America. Origi- The Ring Plainly stating, the plot of the film alone is strange enough make you lean back in your chair and hug your stomach. Even after watching the American release, it was still interesting to see the differences in the original. The Japanese version uses much more spiritual and religious imagery than its renewal. Variant plot elements and an infusion of Japanese culture redeem the lack of horror accumulated in the original. Now you ask, is the original subtitled? Yes, and it does not distract the reader enough to make the movie unlikable. So yes, it is worth a look if you don't plan on being scared. If the opposite is true, you might want to check out The Ring showing in a theater near you.

Pero dicha aerolínea se quedo sin 4 fieles pasajeros y con muchos trabajadores ineptos que laboran en ella.

Si viajan por Aerocalifornia o por cualquier otra aerolínea, tengan mucho cuidado por que desgraciadamente esto les puede pasar a ustedes también/Y debido a tanta burocracia en México y a la falta de justicia, es imposible hacer algo para evitar que esto siga sucediendo.

These are just a few of some viewer's reactions likely to be generated by watching the film Dreamworlds: Gender/Sex/Power in Rock Video. The effects of viewing this 55 -minute film are far-reaching and long lasting. Dreamworlds, a 'simple' media criticism focusing on music videos, promises to be the most disturbing film you have ever seen. MTV actually threatened to sue the producer and narrator of the film, Sut Jhally. A letter was sent to Jhally ordering him to 'cease and desist' promoting and using the video. In a crafty altercation, Jhally was able to frame the matter such that MTV received bad press on the issue, and so immediately ceased all pressure from MTV.

Martínez se preocupó por motivar a la gente que estaba formada a que compraran los libros de la escritora, diciéndoles, "gracias por venir y por comprar los libros, la línea va a avanzar rápido porque nosotros ya sabemos como hacerlo." Esto sólo me hace pensar que Martínez planeó todo junto con la escritora para que soíamente se realizaran las ventas. Me parece una manera muy astuta y sucia de hacer negocio, pues abusan de la buena voluntad de los lectores.

The college did recognize Veteran's Day. The Veteran's Club and ASI sponsored an event outside the Dome. The Marine Band was here playing wonderful patriotic music. They also had the color guard and presentations for the oldest and youngest Marines that attend CSUSM. The club served cake, punch and water. Because of the Veteran's Club and ASI, I was able to observe Veteran's Day, especially when they handed out small American flags we could wave. After the Marines were done performing, I was able to meet and speak to some of thè Marines that attend our campus. So you cannot say CSUSM did not observe the holiday, the tears in my eyes say yes and thank you. Dorothy Bruno LTWR Senior Today's Freshman, Tomorrow's Leaders: CSUSM's ELP Program How many times have we heard the phrase "Get Involved"? The Associate Vice-President and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard and Coordinator for New Student Programs and Greek Affairs Julie Wright head the Emerging Leaders Program. According to the syllabus, the objective of the group is to explore, better understand, define and/or articulate the personal leadership process while increasing knowledge of University resources and how to [flippy Well John, , ~ Bfly^ it looks like the deadline for W^submissions to The Pride's L iterary S upplement' ' (the PLS) is almost upon us.

It's simple, all that students have to do is email The Pride at pride@csusm.edu. The Subject box should message say PLS, and the message box should contain the work's title Land the student's, name as well as his or her major and grade. The A ctualj work should be in the form of an a ttachment. The attachment should include the work's title but not the student's name, that way the judging will be fair. and beyond. Emerging Leaders is aimed at first year students to take part in a small, leadershiporiented class. It is very simple to join, sign up at orientation and show up at the first class. The class is voluntary and will hopefully be offered for credits in years to come. It consists of meeting one night a week for two hours and a weekly typed journal on a suggested topic. Poullard refers to this years group as the "dynamic dozen" and feels that "it is at the GORE of what they do in Student Affairs which is to 'empower students and to help them find their own voice. The program offers unique opportunities such as having a student/professor panel come and share their leadership experiences, joining private receptions like Jonathan Kozol's before his informative lecture at the California Center for the Arts of Escondido, and serving as a "base of support with other members," said Matt Curran. When talking with the group members about what ELP is, Colleen Lee quickly replied: "ELP is an awesome program that builds great leadership skills in freshmen. It helps us to learn who we are an^ how effective we can be as leaders." In addition to learning leadership skills, Caroline Rizk makes the point that "ELP is a way f or freshmen to get involved and build new friendships but it is also a means of discovering who we are and how the way we believe affects the way we live," Purpose, Controversy with Civility, and Citizenship. Students challenge each other in a highly supportive class that culminates with students developing their own Leadership Action Plan." People must be congruent with themselves before they can lead others. This class takes self-definition seriously by participating in many activities, journals, discussions and analyzing real life situations. The students involved will be much more aware of who they are and what they believe in by the time this class is over. "Most importantly though, the ELP is about helping students learn how they lead, and about assisting students in making positive s ociar change within their community," said Poullard. These youiig adults have had much experience on the basics of how to become a leader. The next step is to take action and make a difference on campus such as Orientation Team as many of these young leaders have applied and been accepted to. As freshmen, these students are given the opportunity to meet other freshmen and make the transition to college easier by meeting others with the same interests. The advantage of having a small group is that everyone knows each other by name, Stephanie Gaul jokingly added that "it's group therapy, when you need it" because there is mutual trust and respect at all times. Emerging Leaders Program is a positive atmosphere for students to further their leadership abilities and learn about different leadership roles on campus. Although it is fairly small this year, it will hopefully continue to expand in years to come. Jennifer Hauser enthusiastically stated: "This program is definitely an invaluable vehicle to obtain my future goals and endeavors. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone." This group appears close-knit and is "the beginning to a great circle of friendships and relationships. I learned a great deal of respect and love for people. It has strengthened my morals and self-realization," said Tiffany To.

Registratm And A d m i n i s ^ ^ Major questions surface on campus as students rush to register for Spring 2003 classes. fair to other students. Why don't they open school for winter and summer sessions for the classes that are harder to get during the regular semester?" By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State University San Marcos is a growing school. The projected growth for the future is to be as big a campus as UCLA. This idea is very feasible, considering the fact that CSUSM has more land than SDSU, which houses over 33,000 students to date. CSUSM currently has just fewer than 7,000 students enrolled for the Fall 2002 semester and the expected enrollment for Spring 2003 is even more; one of the reasons is because SDSU is not accepting any new students for Spring 2003. Many argue that CSUSM does not offer enough classes for the current students, yet they expect to eventually enroll upwards of a prospective 35,000 students. Students preparing for next semester by registering on-line or on campus are encountering many difficulties when they attempt to design a schedule that will fit their needs, due t o their appointment date or lack of class availability. Priority registration for continuing matriculated students began Nov. 4th and will continue until Dec. 6th for Spring 2003, via SMART Web or by phone. Ca!

No matter what their class status or major is, students are having great difficulty being able to get the classes they need semester after semester. There are not enough classes available for students to pick from in order to fill their major and even minor requirements. Classes are either at opposite times of the day, on opposite days of the week, or Major problems regarding overlapping in scheduled times. registration of classes The majority of the student body at CSUSM works part or One reason that CSUSM is experiencing this problem is f ull time jobs as well as going the lack of scheduling for the to school part or full time. Thus, required classes in each major. their schedules are strategically Class availability is the major planned to be able to juggle both issue as students prepare for next responsibilities. Many students ¡g ¡g 11 -w-tfF ¡ complain that the classes they need to graduate are only offered during the day when they are at work. Mona Kadah, a junior and high technology managementbusiness administration major, said, "This is my third semester here at CSUSM and I have been going full time. The school is trying to focus more on students who are working f ull time who only want classes at night, which is good, but this is not flexible to students who work part time and want to be f ull time students. We need more convenient scheduling with flexibility set around student's realistic schedules. I don't feel that my needs are being met and I don't think it is James Chesterton, a junior finance major, commented on his registration experience saying, "I work f ull time and Finance 321 is only offered during the middle of the day." Then when asked how he felt administration would help him he expressed that he had not contacted them and that, "I figured they don't care. Take it or leave it. I would like to see more classes offered for the evening students." Others comment that there are just not enough sections available for the required classes to be able to fit them in their schedule. Putheary Sin, a junior communication major, expressed, "Not being able to get needed classes at the time planned postpones graduation and it's not fair. CSUSM has to figure out a way to tone down or even eliminate this problem if at all possible. Of course, I realize that no solution can satisfy every student, but if improvements are made students would be a lot happier on campus around registration period." Jeff Bottger, a senior as of spring 2003 and communication major, commented, "I think there definitely needs to be a lot more sections of communication classes added. It's hard on those students who work to take the classes they need which are offered at random hours throughSee ADMIN, page 2 V OL.XNO.XIII Fall Grad Reception By MELISSA REED Pride Staff Writer In honor of all the students who will be graduating this semester, there will be a Fall Graduation Reception held on Friday, December 13. The ceremony will take place in a tented area from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. outside in Chavez Plaza, which is in front of the new Visual and Performing Arts Building. Speakers at the reception will include CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez, Dr. Francine Martinez and ASI president Jocelyn Brown. Although there is no dress code for this event, attendees are encouraged to dress smart-casual. Last year was the first year that this event took place, and it was said to have been very nice. There will also be refreshments to aid in the festivities. Because seating is limited, if graduates are planning on attending they should let the Office of Student Affairs office know as soon as possible. Guests of graduates should be limited to no more than four people. Because the specific names of the graduates will not be called at this ceremony, graduates are encouraged to come participate in the traditional May 17th graduation at the Del Mar Fairgrounds For students having any additional questions, please call the Office of Student A ffairs at 750-4056. Coffee With A Conscience ASI Programming Board Gives Coffee To Students That Is Also Fair To Farmers By GAIL TARANTINO Pride Staff Writer The Associated Students Inc. (ASI) Programming Board, in an effort to reach out and acknowledge students, is giving out hot coffee outside the Dome Plaza on Monday mornings from 7 a.m.-9 a.m. The programming board, "is a group of students hired by the ASI to plan and execute events to contribute to the development of campus life and community," said Valerie and in a hurry in the mornings."

Brett Gladys, a member of the programming board and one of the students handing out coffee explained that, "Fair Trade guarantees that coffee growers and farmers were paid a fair price regardless of the market." Gladys added that, "Fair Trade coffee is also produced without pesticides and forests aren't slashed and burned to grow it." Noah Smith, also a programming board member, explained the coffee is purchased from "People's Co-op in Ocean Beach." An organization that according to Smith "promotes both organically grown and vegetarian products."

I fortunately do not work; next semester I was hoping to get an internship, but with my class schedule across the board time wise, it may not be an option." Starting with registration for Spring 2003 semester, a new policy by the administration notifies students of their registration date by campus email only. Many students are frustrated with the priority registration dates, because they do not really give them priority service. Kadah added, "For example, HTM 426 is a popular class among Business majors and there is only one section being offered for the Spring 2003 semester. The class was filled and closed long before my priority registration date came, thus, giving me no chance i t getting into the class with no other sections offered. This class is very important for my major and the other electives do not fill my needs. By the time my priority registration time came, it was useless, because there were only two electives classes available." Kadah is still trying to get a response from administration, but does not have much hope of getting registered and will try crashing the classes at the beginAccording to an article in the ning of the semester.

Working full-time, going to school and raising her two daughters leaves her little f ree time, but she believes in the promise of a better life. Her story, listed in the Soroptimist Foundation scholarship packet, shows how every year this foundation has been helping women like Narumi all over the world themselves and their families through its Women's Opportunity Award. The award, which was established in 1972, has been established in order to benefit women who are trying to achieve their personal and professional goals through education and employment. The program was designed to assist women who are providing the primary source of financial support for their families. The award can be used to offset the cost of tuition, books, childcare and transportation. The amounts of the award do vary Coffee With A Conscience On each cup of coffee that is given away is a label, explaining the concerns surrounding the production of coffee and why the Fair Trade coffee co-op is a welcomed solution. Cuevas explained that the statistics used on the labels were taken f rom the Global Exchange website (www.globalexchange.org/ coffee.) According to the website, "coffee farmers receive and every year, three awards are granted. The first place winner receives $5,000 and the second and third place winners receive $3,000.

By JENNIFER ACEE Pride Staff Writer High attendance numbers at informational. meetings signify Cal State San Marcos students' peaked interest in studying abroad. The global affairs office provided a series of informational sessions throughout this fall semester, each of which yielded a relatively large audience of students who were interested in study abroad programs. MM mm mm ter abroad, but the majority was interested in summer programs. In spite of disparate needs and interests, everyone attended with an open mind in order to embrace opportunity and insert her/himself into a new cultural context. Cal State San Marcos students' heightened interest follows a national trend. The number of American college students receiving academic units for study abroad in 2000/01 increased 7.4% from the previous year, reaching a record total of 154,168 students, according to "Open Doors 2002," the annual report on international education that is published by the Institute of International Education. The most recent meeting, and the last of the semester, was held in University Hall 449 on Monday Nov. 18 from 1-2 p.m. for a crowd of over a dozen. Fortuitously kicking off America's third annual International Education Week, a diverse group of students gathered at the meeting Dulce Dorado, CSUSM study to have their potential travel abroad advisor, approximates, appeal sowed into reality. that 100 CSUSM students per year attend an academic proSome attending students gram abroad.

Plus, like program duration and destination, price is highly variable and can range from tens of thousands of dollars to mere hundreds. Associate Director of the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office Gerrie Hatten gave this advice to potential study abroad candidates: "Students need to take responsibility for making sure that all the needed paperwork and processes are completed. in a timely manner. They need to plan ahead and be realistic about the cost of the programs, the types and amounts of financial aid that can be used and how much of their own resources are available and to make decisions based on all those components." Vicky Segall, a CSUSM senior double majoring in Literature and Spanish, spent last summer studying and traveling in Spain. Segall used her "Cal-Vet aid" to help cover tuition costs, and so found herself with only the plane ticket and spending money as what she recalls were "the big things I had to worry about." Davis interprets the overall costs as fairly insignificant. She claims, "It doesn't cost that much more to study abroad for a year compared to living in San Diego and going to CSUSM for one year." If students missed the informational meetings this semester and are interested in what sorts of programs are available in international education, they can visit the global affairs office in Craven Hall 5211, or call their office at (760) 750-4090. However, one should prepare her/himself because, as students who have done it claim, s/he may launch "the experience of a lifetime." �T HE PRIDE NEWS Tuesday, December 3,2002 5 ^ a n a computer teach physics/ ^ "Computers - - don't A really know By M ARTHA S ARABIA L ead Editor can teach physics t o the audience, Oberem asked "And even if it could, would we want it t o?"

First Annual Frisbee Competition Student groups compete for cash and a trophy in an interesting frisbee game By JASON PADILLA Pride Staff Writer nized by the Associated Stu- There is also no contact between dent Inc. Programming Board, players at all. Friday Nov. 22nd marked the First Annual Frisbee competition from 1 to 3 p.m. at Forum Field in the Chavez Plaza. The competition, which was open for all clubs who wished to sign up, involved only four teams, consisting of: APSS (Asian Pacific Student Society), PAN (Progressive Activist Network), Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Alpha Chi Omega. The games were hosted and refereed by CSUSM student John Gehris and orga- For those interested in playing, it does look like a bit of work and physical exhaustion. The rules of the game involve the two teams of five getting an unlimited number of throws, but the teammate with the frisbee can only hold the frisbee for 10 seconds at a time. If the frisbee is dropped or a pass is incomplete, the frisbee changes sides, and a player cannot run with the frisbee. A goal is scored when a catch is made in the end zone. The first match of the day involved APSS vs. PAN, where PAN came out with a devastating victory of 6 to 3. Skilled passes and absolute confidence in teammates seemed to be the deciding factor in the match. The second match was a blowout, with Sigma Alpha Epsilon destroying Alpha Chi Omega 6-0. Alpha Chi Omega's strong point certainly is not head to head frisbee, as they struggled to even put a single point on the board. With only a brief intermission for the teams to catch their breath, the final match was underway. Jumping to an early lead in the final game, Sigma Alpha Epsilon went up early with a series of scores giving them a 5-0 lead. In the fashion of all great athletes and teams, PAN refused to give in. Really pulling themselves together, PAN jumped back into the game quickly scoring a remarkable 4 points in under 6 minutes. Even though it was a great attempt at a comeback, it just was not enough, as they lost 8-4. Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the first annual frisbee competition. Each member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon team won five $20 cougar cards and a handsome 22" tall trophy that read "Superior Disc Handlers". Even with a small t urn out, the event seemed to be a success, and the audience enjoyed themselves.

(ASI) knocked around Founders' Plaza on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:00 a.m. to 3: 00 p.m. for its continuing "Take a Break Tuesday" events. For this month's entertainment, big glove boxing was available for students .on a break or walking to their next class who were willing to take punches from some giant boxing gloves. Valerie Cuevas, ASI Coordinator of Student Programs and Services, CSUSM student John Gehris, and ASI President Jocelyn Brown encouraged students to take their turn in the inflatable ring. Many of the students walking by decided to kick off their shoes and wait in line to jump in the ring. The enormous inflated boxing ring was set right next to Academic Hall and offered many students who were walking by a chance to release some of the stress caused by their exams and research papers. The clear blue skies and warm weather brought many students outside to watch fellow students bounce around like Sugar Ray Leonard while throwing punches at each other. With music blaring and bullhorn calls summoning the next victims, the ASI team enthusiastically haggled students to hop in the ring and throw a few blows. Some students were seen tossing the giant gloves aside and performing their favorite WWF moves on one another. "Let's get our professors in the ring," a student yelled while being tossed to the other side of the ring. Another student waiting for his turn also said, "I like how ASI brings f un to campus, it helps make being on campus all day a little more interesting." Approximately every third Tuesday of the month, ASI brings entertainment to Founder's Plaza. For last month's f un, ASI featured a giant inflatable batting cage. "With activities like the big glove boxing, inflatable batting cage, and human bowling, which is next month, we try to bring some f un to campus," said Cuevas. If students are curious about the details of the next event or where it will be held, they are encouraged to keep an eye on their e-mail and on Founder's Plaza for upcoming activities. �Sfedrina y los estudiantes de CSUSIVI Medicamento n atural que afecta al cerebro y al corazón Por ROSALLYN CELLE Y que la consumen tienen el riesgo de sufrir infartos y apoplejías.

National Latino Research Center Receives Funding to Help Children with Ashtma A $352,297 award will provide assistance to improve the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma By MARTHA SARABIA Lead Editor The National Latino Research Center (NLRC) received funding from The California Endowment to fight asthma in school-aged children. The $352,297 award is designed to provide technical assistance to asthma coalitions in San Diego and Imperial Counties that are working as part of the statewide Community Action to Fight (CAFA) Asthma initiative as well as improving the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. nity-based partnerships, which include Imperial Valley Asthma Partnership and San Diego Allies Against Asthma, by helping to stimulate and build coalitions, design and implement interventions, collect and analyze data, and advance policies that reduce The NLRC will provide tech- the risks of asthma in the envinical support to local commu- ronments where school-aged D o y ou o r y our c hild s uffer f r o m children live, learn and play. Gerardo Gonzalez, director of the NLRC and CSUSM professor of psychology, said, "This is an excellent opportunity for the NLRC and Cal State San Marcos to strengthen partnerships in the San Diego and Imperial Valley regions." He added, "In collaboration with community coalitions and the California Endowment, we hope to contribute to the prevention of community-wide health problems, such as asthma in children." CAFA supports 12 community-based partnerships across California and is the second phase of The California Endowment's asthma programs. It is also a $12 million, threeyear statewide program that addresses the multiple environmental triggers of asthma among school-aged children with asthma.

Also, nearly 3 million Californians suffer from asthma symptoms. Asthma is a chronic disease that often begins in childhood and is the number one cause of disability, hospital admissions and school absenteeism among children. The overarching goal of the California Endowment's asthma initiative is to reduce health disparities and improve the quality of life for school-aged children with asthma. CAFA aims to reduce the environmental risk factors that trigger asthma, particularly in rural and urban areas with high rates of the disease. The California Endowment works with organizations and institutions that directly benefit the health and well-being of Californians. Their mission is to expand access to affordable, quality healthcare for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. As listed in its website, The California Endowment is a private, statewide health foundation with approximately $3 billion in assets. Created in 1996 as a result of Blue Cross of California's creation of WellPoint Health Networks, a for-profit corporation, and since its inception, the endowment has awarded more than 3,400 grants totaling over $988,000,000 as of October 2002 According to the 2001 Cali- to community-based organizafornia Health Interview Survey, tions throughout California. asthma rates in California have �A (Not So) Funny Thing Happened to Me in the Computer Lab... By JENNIFER JARRELL Pride Staff Writer For the past three semesters, I've been an avid user of the computers in the computer lab here at San Marcos. When I load "My Personal Settings," I've been saving the work I do in places like: My Documents, H: drive, and the desktop with no problems whatsoever. So when the- computer loads "My Personal Settings," I feel safe to save my work in places that are labeled "My Documents." Why else would it be labeled "My Documents" if I couldn't save work there? Well... one day about two weeks ago, I saved somei work to "My Documents," logged off the computer, and went to the Dome for lunch. When I returned, my work had mysteriously vanished. I frantically searched and searched for it everywhere oil the computer, but there were no traces of it. I began to secondguess myself that maybe I didn't log off correctly, and someone else had accidentally erased it. So I went home to retype all my work (thank God I had written my essays by hand first on notebook paper). fluke, I typed another paper in the lab, but this time I was going to save it to my zip disk. When I looked in my bag for my disk, I realized that I had forgotten it at home. I saved my paper to the desktop (again, like I have been for three semesters now,) logged off the computer, and went to the student store to buy a new disk. When I came back to the lab and logged back on, my paper was GONE! I asked the lab people (student computer helpers) how this could've happened since I've been saving on the desktop all semester. One of the lab people told me that there was a new policy implemented where, as of two weeks ago, students cannot save on the desktop or to "My Documents" anymore or their work will be erased with no possibility of retrieval. The logical, pragmatic side of me wanted to ask, "Why wouldn't the lab people put signs up EVERYWHERE letting students know about this "new thing?" Instead, I walked swiftly out of the lab and went straight home to redo my assignment, this time starting from scratch because I had not pre-written my work in my notebook. in charge" of what goes on in the labs. Instructional Computing Labs Coordinator Mary Atkins had this to say about the computer lab. "In the Instructional Computing labs, because these are public machines, we only allow students to save on their own space: the H: space, a ZIP diskette, or a floppy diskette. This has been our policy for the last 10 years. It would be impossible to maintain the machines, if we allowed the students to save to the C: drive." She continued to say, "I am sorry that there has been some misunderstanding about where you can save a file. Once you log off any machine, it reverts back to a standard "clean" slate for the next student. The ONLY safe place to save a file is the H: space, a floppy diskette, a ZIP diskette, or a CD." But that's not what Systems Integration Specialist William D. Craig told me. He stated, "Each student at CSUSM is allowed 50MB of storage space on a fileserver that is automatically connected at login. The only reason a student should run into a problem saving a file to the desktop or anywhere else on the h: drive is when the student is near or over his or her quota. In those instances, a popup mesA fter thinking that the whole After that second incident, I sage should appear alerting thefrustrating incident was just a decided to email some "people student that the file cannot be saved because the quota has been reached." He added helpfully, "If you lost a file that you had saved to your desktop, I'd really like to work with you to find out what went wrong, because it certainly shouldn't happen. There may be an incorrect setting in your account profile. Please call or stop by at your convenience so we can look into this problemi" So what I want to know is, basically, where am I allowed to save my work? I feel that the second half of the semester is a bad time for students' work to be disappearing. I'm not thè only one this has happened to. There's been a buzz around campus that students have been losing their files in circumstances similar to mine. Because of this episode, I will be especially safe to make two copies of everything I do, and I guess I've learned that the hard way. But I still feel that It would be best for students to know what's going on before they feel safe to save files just anywhere on the computer. unless absolutely critical. We certainly do everything we can to minimize the risk t o students' data. If we did rn^ke a change regarding something that would impact most students, like making the desktop "off-limits," we would certainly do so in a way that would not result in the loss of files, and only after giving ample notice to the campus community beforehand." Mr. Craig told me that this whole incident was a glitch, and will be dealt with. I certainly .hope so, because this is the most critical point in the semester, and students should feel safe when using the computer lab. Since it seems there are two very different opinions regarding saving files in the lab, I would just like to know which one Cal State students can trust to be true. Lastly, Mr. Craig stated, "I want to say that our department tries very hard to keep changes to the student environment to a minimum.

If we go back a little bit, in the past years, GEW instructors, many of whom are graduate students in the LTWR program, were allowed to park in the faculty lot, but they got their privileges revoked because they were easy targets for Parking Services to cut out of the picture: they were STUDENTS, but they were/are also exploited teachers. to read this book to understand what this man did for society.

There has been an average, over the last several weeks, of anywhere from 2-4 cars left in the dirt lot after 4:15 with green parking tickets attached to their windows. Two out of three of us have gotten them already. What about you guys? Our main contention about the fines in the dirt lot is that they are unjusti- The Sociology Club fied, and above all, they exploit the students who are on campus for the most hours every day. Students who get here after 11 a.m. or students who leave before 4 p.m. anyway, are probably not the ones who are getting these atrocious tickets. It is understandable that, due to liability and safety concerns, it isn't safe for students' cars to be parked in an unlit lot after the sun has set. However, $100 per ticket?!? What a racket! CORRECTION Two of the comparative price graphs titled "Snacks" and "Drinks", printed in the November 19 issue of The Pride, were mistakenly constructed with the comparative scales stacked on top of one another rather than side by side as in the "Nutritional bars" graph.

It has been speculated that the lack of availability is due to the statewide budget crisis, but there is another sieve that the California Faculty Association (CFA) claims is draining the CSU system, not funded by state allowances. It is being implemented at all CSU campuses by direction of the Chancellor's Office, and it's a computer program called PeopleSoft. So far, CSUSM is remaining on budget and not showing any signs of trouble with the implementation, but the project is still far from finished. CFA response to the implementation of PeopleSoft According to the homepage of the California State University at calstate.edu, the entire system is made up of 407,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff. The primary representative of the faculty in the CSU is the CFA. In an email circulated to its members on Nov. 20, the CFA has issued an "urgent request" to all CFA members, asking for any kind of information and/or evidence about misappropriation of funding of the PeopleSoft project. It says that in a few months, the "California State Auditor is scheduled to complete its comprehensive audit of the CSU's Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft) computer data project." The message also reports that the "software has demonstrated poor performance history at other U.S. campuses, and that the project is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars more than its original $400 million estimate." While the $400 million approximation is system-wide, there are only 23 CSU campuses, which means that if each university were the same size, there would be a roughly $17 million average for each school to pay out of its own funding - and each campus is expected to surpass that estimate. Held at San Jose State University, hearings for a CFA project, entitled "The Future of CSU, Reclaiming the University for the People of California," involved speeches by powerful union representatives from around the state. Pauline Robinson, the director of the CSU division of the California State Employees Association (CSEA) staff union, expressed her concern about the PeopleSoft changeover. "What I think the CSU is missing here is they don't value the talent that they have in the system...They now have another partnership going.. .It's called CMS or PeopleSoft... We have Silicon talented techs in our system, but their talents aren't recognized. [The CSU seems] to think that these people are not economically viable, that they need to bring in another whole group, they need to outsource all the work, or insource our people, whichever way they're planning on going...So when you say where is the future of this CSU, I really couldn't say, because there's nothing that we can do to stop progress, but I still think that peoples' needs should be looked at and measured before you just jump into something," Robinson said. What is PeopleSoft? According to Bill Welch, an independent PeopleSoft consultant, "a PeopleSoft project going way over budget happens about as often as a Catholic priest getting lucky." PeopleSoft is a computer software company that created a multi function software package that was meant to be 'all things to all people,' according to Welch. He said, "It is a very large system and has many components, depending on [why a company needs it]." The PeopleSoft programs for higher education use basically three products. The first is a Human Resources/ Payroll Financials package, which tracks income, expenses, and assets. The second is a Student Administration package that includes student financial inforSee PEOPLESOFT, page 5 Disorganization or Fraud? ASI Movie Night: A Disaster for Edwards Cinema Management Each Student's $50 Semester Fee for ASI Being Spent in Part on Questionable Activities By AMBER ROSSLAND Pride Staff Writer On Nov. 21, ASI sponsored its first free movie night for students at Edwards Cinemas in San Marcos, the 9:45 p.m. showing of Eminem's film debut in 8 Mile. Students began to arrive at 6 p.m. and were shocked to find out that the theater personnel were unaware of the free ticket offer for CSUSM students on that evening. Problems in Planning and Organization San Marcos Edwards Cinema manager, David Landfield, was furious to find the entryway to the theater bombarded and blocked off by CSUSM students who were demanding free tickets. "This promotion was not authorized nor were we notified of this event," said Landfield. He further commented that for an event this size by an organization, it would be necessary for the organization (ASI) to rent the theater at a cost of $2,400. Worried students lined up outside the doors watching and listening to the cinema management complain about the situation. The students explained to theater management that they had learned of this free movie promotion through flyers and e-mail. Grace, an Edwards employee who was stationed at the door, pointed out the illegali- ties of the advertisement that ASI had produced. Theflyerfeatured not only a copyrighted film advertisement that was reprinted without permission, but the name of the cinema was printed without notification and permission as well. At 8:50 p.m., members of ASI and their programming board, who were hired to create community at CSUSM, arrived with over 100 group activity passes to purchase tickets at the box office. The tickets were bought at this time, and the programming board members who were buying the tickets were not even aware of the exact showtime. Furthermore, the flyers distributed at CSUSM said that only 50 tickets were going to be given out to CSUSM students, however this was not the case, as there were 100 tickets purchased. When questioned as to why the programming board members were purchasing the extra 50 tickets, they expressed concerns about riots breaking out if they denied entrance to anyone. Cinema management confronted ASI programming board members about the chaotic situation. Landfield informed ASI that he would not exercise the law and press charges against the university at this time, however he indicated that this type of event was never to occur again without permission of the theater. He further declared that the theater would be more than happy to accommodate future university-sponsored activities with proper notice and planning. ASI Programming Board Representative Brett Gladys defended their actions by saying that they had called the theater during the previous week and spoken with an employee, who had told them that there would be no problem with holding the event on the day and time requested. It was later determined that the employee was not a member of theater management and did not have the authority to permit the event, thus Gladys had been given incorrect information. Student Money for NonStudents While about 18 students said to have received aflyeror e-mail for the event, many admitted to being close friends of ASI members who had invited them to the showing. Many students who had attended in response toflyersor e-mails made comments regarding the huge amount of people who showed up with the ASI programming board members. Programming Board and ASI members began checking school IDs and handing out tickets around 8:55 p.m. to students, yet several students were seen going See ASI MOVIE, page 4 �News Update: CSUSM Staff Responds to Registration and Administration Troubles By JULIE MYRES & ALYSSA classes because they obtained FINKELSTEIN poor attendance in the past." Pride Staff Writer & Lead Editor Wiener also indicated that, "There is a Catch 22 here in Last week, The Pride ran an some departments: If lecturers, article about the difficulties that who teach most evening and both students and faculty are Saturday classes (as they teach encountering with new registra- most classes at GSUSM), are not tion policies and administrative allowed to teach upper division changes.

Wiener (see table at right). Wiener added that, for the classrooms accompanied by asterisks, "the realistic maximum occupancy is much lower; student in back rows can see and hear poorly. These statistics are based on Academic Scheduling's chart for the second week of the term. More classes might have been added." This information is based from statistics taken from this Fall 2002 semester.

He said, "a basic foreign language class [was scheduled during] the first few weeks in ACD 102, a large lecture hall. At least a few classes are dangerously overcrowded; one even had a wheelchair-bound student. If you are in such an unsafe classroom, you should report it to Regina Frasca, Director of Risk Management and Safety." In light of this corrected information, there is a newfound concern among The Pride and many students regarding the decision-making of the use of these classrooms. CSUSM administrator response to statistics previously reported The Pride also heard from Richard Riehl, Executive Director of Enrollment Services. In an email sent to Staff Writer Julie Myres (the author of last week's article), Riehl said that, "Your article pointed out the challenges we face as a rapidly growing university." Riehl also pointed out a few Capacity Building / Room # ARTS 101 (VPA classes only) 60 200 ARTS 240 145 ACD 102 80* ACD 104 90* ACD 305 65 UH 100 56 UH 360 60 UH 370 66 UH 373 clarifications about the information printed last week. He said that, "Our enrollment this fall was 7,627, not "just fewer than 7,000," and he also clarified that SDSU is continuing to accepting applications for spring of 2003. The original information reported last week was based on various estimated numbers that were reported by members of the administration and the CSUSM website. The SDSU information was originally gathered from the Union Tribune, however an article published in the San Diego Union Tribune on Friday December 6,2002 also corrected the SDSU statistic. It also turns out that the FTES numbers were reported incorrectly. Riehl said that, "These numbers make no sense at all, although I think I know where you got them. The 5,066 was the actual FTES count for last spring. The 6,627 number was the headcount for last spring. We project this spring's FTES count to be 5,608, with a headcount of 7,337. That represents a decline from 5,810 FTES and 7,627 in the fall. We stopped taking admissions applications for spring earlier than ever in our history to attempt to bring enrollment down closer to our funding level." The information published earlier was gathered originally from a member of Usage 39% 36% 32% 40% 45% 40% 55% 53% 51% personnel at the College of Art and Sciences. Editor's Note: This article is definitely covering a controversial subject that has brought attention to students, faculty, and administration. Many of the quotes and statements made by lecturers and faculty members were granted with complete anonymity in the original article. One reason there were errors in actual numbers andfacts is due to the lack of information openly published for student use. The Pride found many sources of information that contradicted each other and did its best to get the correct information for the article. It is apparent that Pride staff writers are frequently given incorrect information by staff and faculty who do not realize the implications of the information they are distributing. This has happened several times during this semester when writers have approached sources for stories. Correct information could be more easily reporteddn the future if faculty and staff as well as students, try to remember that The Pride is also growing (alongside the university) albeit with only one journalism course and no program to support it.

The rule applies only to first-time freshman and to lower division transfer students with fewer than 60 units. On Thursday, Dec. 5 at 11:59 p.m., applications for these two prospective groups were closed, however applications from upper-division transfer students with 60 units or more and graduate students are still being accepted. ASI ment within our funding." Despite the closing of the admission process, Richard Reihl, executive director of enrollment services, said that CSUSM allowed a few extra days for students wanting to enroll in this university. "The deadline allowed for some flexibility for last-minute applicants," said Riehl, "The open enrollment period established by the California State University ended November 30, 2002. We've allowed a few extra days as a grace period for those whose applications might have been delayed for one reason or another, but we now must stop accepting applications because of our need to manage enroll- students due to the budget deficit. "Because of budget uncertainties, we can't predict how much longer undergraduate applications will be accepted from transfer students," expressed Riehl. According to Riehl, since Dec. 5 more than 4,300 applications had been received from potential freshman students. This equals the number of applications received from freshman for the entire 2002-2003 academic Because of the increasing popyear, and this time the applica- ularity of CSUSM, Riehl said, tions were accepted all the way "We recommend that students through July. file their applications materials as soon as possible."

He added, "To do that, we may have to slow down the number of new students entering the university until we have more resources available." Cal State San Marcos experienced a 17 percent increase in enrollment for the 2002-03 academic year, and it is currently struggling to balance its funding with its teaching and service obligations. Furthermore, with the prospect of reductions in state allocations for the 20032004 academic year, the campus has started to adopt a cautious approach to admissions, which might leave many prospective students out of the university.

The CSU web page for Frequently Asked Questions about PeopleSoft says that, "everyone who uses the new system will be required to receive training before access is granted to the system."

He said, "It's very beneficial to have all campuses using the same administrative system." He also added that in May of2000, the CSUSM President's Cabinet approved a 6-year project plan, which began during the fiscal year 2000/2001 (sometime between July 1, 2000 and June 30, 2001). Cal State San Marcos has chosen a phased implementation approach, meaning that, "as modules [of the program] are phased in, we are training our staff." According to Veres, all campuses of the CSU are aiming to "complete implementation of the [Human Resources], Finance, and Student modules of PeopleSoft by 2006. We are on schedule to meet that commitment." Contrary to CFA accusations that the CSU campuses are outsourcing talent, Veres has been an employee of CSUSM since 1992, and he says that all members of the CSUSM CMS/ PeopleSoft implementation team are employees of the university. However, he admitted that "we do contract with some consultants but only for very short periods of time - 1-3 days at a time - and only when we need help through some functional or technical detail." The CSUSM website has a link for the invoicing of PeopleSoft trainingathttp://cms.calstate.edu/ T4tiSanMarcos.asp, but it cannot be opened by anyone without a password. Employees are not issued passwords until they have completed the training required by the program. Needless to say, very few people on the CSUSM campus actually have access to this information.

By BRIAN FISHER Pride Staff Writer Dr. Norm Nicholson, dean of instructional and information technology services, spends his last weeks at CSUSM after nine years of campus technology achievements. Dr. Nicholson immigrated to America from Scotland at age 18. His constant interest in engineering got him jobs in aerospace technology. After his career in aerospace, his interests shifted to working for the Santa Ana School District as a teacher, and then moved to a community college. in California. CSUSM has even become the email service provider for the new Channel Islands campus. With over 2,000 computers networked together at CSUSM, wireless access and new computers, it has become one of the leading technology schools in Southern California. Norm says he is confident in his staff and believes the school will be in good hands. He explains, "I'm leaving the university in very good shape!' Nicholson described why he decided to leave CSUSM. "I've worked long enough. I've spent 9 years here, and a whole career of 30 some years before that in other places. I just decided now it's time I can afford to. Its time to find out if there's life after work! I've worked really hard almost all my life and I'd like to see what else there is. I'd like to spend more time playing golf and spending time with family." His interest in Cal State San Marcos sparked after he discovered that many older schools were shutting doors on innovative thinkers and ideas. Norm wanted a fresh start with people "who were willing to push the envelope of instructional technology."

However, Desjean's job is somewhat different than most. Desjean has a talent with the bass guitar and explores that talent with his band 'No Knife,' which can be heard if people listen to 92.1 or 91X fm. Their latest album, entitled "Riot for Romance," has had quit a bit of success, landing them their last tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' back in October. "No Knife's" latest tour with 'Jimmy Eat World' gave the band a chance to play some songs from their new album, and also gave Desjean a chance to not attend school for a few weeks. About the challenge of going on a tour and attending school at the same time, he said, "I was a parttime student at Palomar when we toured extensively. Now that I am at Cal State it's all about touring during the summer, or doing short runs here and there so I don't miss too much work. It can be a bit stressful, and sometimes I feel I could be doing a album. Last Halloween, Desjean left his class in a hurry to get down to the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach where all band members dressed up and played the Halloween party. They also Desjean has been playing recently did a tour in Japan and bass for about 12 years now, will go back again this January. and has been with the band for Desjean plans on graduating in about 10 years.

Our Neighbors Show Support: They Too th Remember September 11 By JAMES SIMMONDS Pride Staff Writer To this day, America still sits and waits to see if the current administration will decide whether or not to take this country into a full-scale war. Meanwhile, Mexico and Canada's people say to support America, although they would not want to see any harm come to this country. A war on this land could very well cause harm to their borders, especially if the United States is dealing with an enemy that is capable of using chemical warfare - warfare that will not only take out the soldiers fighting but also the innocent people at home who fight to keep their country going.

He said that he does not want there to be war, but if there be one he would support America. "What happened last year was not right that day or any other day. Terrorists hurt your country, other countries and my home country. It is not an American war. It is the world's war against terrorists." Further east, in the mall of the town of Kelowna, people expressed feelings about the possible war that faces America. One person stood out in her answer, Bianca Hughes. Hughes said, "I am Canadian and proud, but if for some reason I had to say I was something else I would say an American. I mean we are like Americans but on the other side of the border. If America goes to war I hope they win. If the war comes to American soil then I hope that the Canadian army helps with whatever." In a town called Hope a women working the cashier at the highway gas station responded, " You Americans should bomb the terrorists, they should pay for what they did. I know someone who died in the twin towers." Even farther east, in the small town of Vernon, the last stop before heading back to Vancouver, Canadians were also very supportive of the Americans. They answered with passion as if their own country, was attacked. Heidi Lee, a 19-year-old nursing student, said, "When I saw the news and watched those planes crash my heart dropped. I was so sad when I could see people falling from the tops of the buildings. It is not fair, terrorists are cowardly people, there is no combat in terrorism." �Chimpanzees Progression in the World Ruben Science Fleet Center: J ane Goodwall's Wild Chimpanzees By STEVEN ZAMORA Opinion Editor through the film as the dominator of his companions, showing force in order to establish his Jane Goodwall's Wild Chim- rule over the group. panzees, an IMAX film featured at Ruben H.

Then she counterparts, and is depicted presents a couple of questions to the audience. One question that Goodwall makes is "why don't we consider chimpanzees human beings?" Another question is "what differences are there really between human beings and chimpanzees?" There is no doubt that chimpanzees walk on their hands as opposed to humans, showing a difference between the two. However, Goodwall points out that the differences among humans and chimps are minimal. In the past, the true distinguishing point between humans and chimps has been the notion that human beings can reason and pass down knowledge to their children—this assumption no longer exists in the realm of understanding. Goodwall discovered that chimpanzees have learned to make tools with which to hunt their prey, such as ants. This knowledge of hunting, chimpanzees have passed down from their mothers during the seven years where baby chimps need emotional and physical nurture from their parents, similar to children's development with their mothers. This reasoning and passage of knowledge therefore disqualifies the main assertion that chimpanzees cannot reason or teach baby chimps. With regard to whether people should consider chimpanzees a species of human beings, Goodwall stands firm in saying that chimps are closely related to, or even actually are, human beings. The research can be used to study the evolution of human beings, because the chimps may be the best example of how human beings in fact evolved from chimpanzees. gallery experience.

These organizations seek assistance from the student body, faculty and staff in the form of donations of toys, non-perishable food items, blankets and clothing. These three holiday drives and one fund raising campaign will all be held on campus and the specifics and contact information are listed in the paragraphs to follow. Angel Tree Toy Drive Circle K International, sponsored by the San Marcos Kiwanis, is an international student community service organization that helps to foster leadership skills and provide community services to children. For the 11th year this organization has sponsored the Angel Tree Toy Drive. With organizational help from the Black Student Union and the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity, Circle K International plans to provide toys for local non-profit organizations. Organizers of the drive intend to make Christmas a little merrier for a San Marcos home for boys.

Saturday, Dec. 7th, marked the 9th annual City of San Marcos' Christmas celebration, known as Santa's Magical Village, which lasted between 4:00 p.m. - 9: 00 p.m. at the San Marcos Civic Center. With the celebration geared toward younger children, who always seem to have a double dose, of the Christmas spirit, events were there to keep adults occupied as well.

With everyone leaving the village in order to gather around the tree, positioned in a grassy park just shy of the parking lot, all awaited to see the spectacle. When the crowd was large enough, the firemen flipped the switch and the tree came to life with a mediocre display of a few strands of Christmas lights. Nonetheless, the children who were still energetic from all the caroling and sweets were thrilled at the tall tree. all items displayed were for sale carols.

On Thursday and Friday the presentation took place at 8: 00 pm, on Saturday there were two performances at 2:00 and 8: 00 pm. Directed by Dora Arreola and adapted by Ursula Tania, this traditional Mexican performance is a religious story that was first introduced to Mexico in the sixteenth century to teach native people about Christianity. The central idea in this adaptation is that no matter how hard the devil and his wife Luciferina try to impede the shepherds from going to Bethlehem to adore the way it shows the temptations that child Jesus, the shepherds tri- Satan offers the good people who want to follow God's purposes. umph over evil.

The enjoyable, entertaining These two artistic interventions The cast included CSUSM students and people from the community. Professor Marcos Martinez, Associate Professor of Theater from CSUSM was in charge of the stage production. Martinez invited the public in general to participate in the next year presentation, since they are planning to perform it every year. He also gave special thanks to the Bravo Foundation, the Escondido Swap Meet and the CECUT (Centro Cultural Tijuana/Tijuana Cultural Center) for their support. The play was worth the $10.00 cost per person. Well done and congratulations to all the artists and all the people that participated in the creation of this lovely, yet hilarious play! Can I Stay up to See Santa? By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer child question whether Santa is real or not? Is it that they did not like the presents they got the year before "Is Santa Clause real?" or is it that the stories of St. Nick have been so radically transformed This question has been asked to during the years that it is difficult to almost every parent at least once in believe in them anymore? his or her lifetime. Many parents are not ready to look straight into a The history about St. Nick dates child's face and tell them that Santa as far back as the fourth century, is not real. Yet who are parents to when a wealthy Christian bishop judge what is real and what is not made a name for himself by giving real? Many parents of today are too many gifts to poor children. A fter wrapped into working all the time his death, the Christian church that they don't rejoice and see the named Dec. 6 a day of remembrance world around them, let alone figure for the bishop. He then became known as Father Christmas and was out if a Santa really exists. from that point forever linked with In today's day and age, parents the holiday. Like his name, Santa have stopped believing in something Clause, his attire was not always in which they have believed for all the standard red and white suit that of their childhood. What makes a we know of today; it changed from story to story. Some stories had him wearing a purple or blue suit, and other stories called him an elf. In the 1930's, Coca Cola officially hired Santa Clause as one of their spokespersons. Coca Cola standardized Santa Clause as the Santa that we know today, sporting the traditional red and white company colors. Many of the stories that came about from this bishop were based on legends and mythical creatures. One legend, which is known, is that he carried around a bag-full of toys and rode on a flying sled that was pulled by reindeer. In 1822 Clemente Moore wrote a series of poems and named all the reindeer that pulled the sled. Although Rudolph was not one of the eight original reindeer that Moore described, he was the most popular. Rudolph was merely a byproduct of the advertising genius of Montgomery Wards, which was in turn created by Robert May. Advertising plays a major role in our life by shaping our beliefs and traditions. Many times it is hard to tell whether an event from the past really happened or not, because of the fact that second hand information can be twisted around so much. So next time when a child looks at you with their big brown eyes and asks you the question I asked in the beginning of the article, think about the ramifications it could have if a child does not have hope.

Porpoise pens and other porpoise memorabilia started showing up around the office but he didn't. His arrogant behavior was trying to cover up the fact he had poor writing skills and in the long run was fired. This is just one incident that shows how High School English is important. Not all jobs need college but in most jobs, reading and writing are needed. So here are the facts: US History of Literature I & II and English Literature I & II are required courses that have not been offered in the evening at all since I have been attending CSUSM. I can understand that there are not a lot of electives offered but it would really help if the required courses were offered in the evening. Not all of them, but a series offered on some sort of yearly rotating basis would be nice. teaching where my starting salary will be $36,000 since I can't really leave the San Diego area.

I have been attending CSUSM Starting my day at around 6:00am and ending it at around 9:00pm, as I walked across Palomar's parking lot, I found myself thinking on a regular basis, Long Day's Journey Into Night. It felt okay, though, because somehow I thought I would be rewarded, and I passed on all the weekend events that I was invited to because studying needed to be done. question. Plus, if you are attending classes in the evening, it's really hard to just stop off on your way in because evening traffic is tough and it's usually a sprint from the parking lot to get to class on time. Let's try some other departments. The Career and Assessment Center has the same hours asfinancialaid office. The parking permit office hours are 9:00-5:00, Monday through Thursday and closes early on Friday. Everything closes early on Friday, which makes me think: couldn't they stay open later one night to compensate for leaving at 2:00 or 3:00 on Friday? The Community Service Learning Center hours are also 8:00-5:00. Here is another really important department especially for me, the Writing Center; this also closes at 6: 00. I have never been there and my professors are concerned that I can't write a formal argumentative paper. Actually, I am concerned too, unfortunately I can't get any help! I feel that something's lacking regarding the importance relating to the power of the written word. That and evening students are not wanted at CSUSM.

It was one of the hardest things I ever did in my life. When I was a smoker we were able to still smoke everywhere. I did. I didn't blow smoke in people's faces but I did smoke in buildings. I quit smoking while attending a junior college. Our college was putting into effect a smoke free campus. I was even on the committee. I fought hard for smoker's rights. One thing did come out of it, designated smoking areas. These areas were away from the people traffic, most of them were in parking areas. Smokers complained at first, but were great after a while. The only problem we were having was who was going to be the 'cops'. I know they have solved the problem by now though. But now for CSUSM, the smokers definitely need to get away from the doors and hall ways. The smoke is quite disturbing. I also hold by breath when walking by these students. I am an asthmatic and the smoke does irritate my lungs. BUT, CSUSM needs to put the ashtrays away from the buildings. They need to be in open areas. When it rains, we all have umbrellas. To smokers: Please stay away from the buildings and the enclosed walkways. Smoke in open areas and try to quit. It will save your life. I watched my mother and her husband die because of smoking and it was a very ugly sight. I was not ready to quit at the time but it wasn't much longer before I did. Our campus has many resources when you are ready to quit. Dorothy Bruno Senior-LTWR The Smoke i nthe Air Forget about finals, midterms, papers, or cramming for surprise quizzes; my biggest struggle is breathing. Every morning I struggle to make it up the numerous flights of stairs leading to the campus, only to face the clouds of cigarette smoke that hang in the air morning, noon, and night. Which is why I was so pleased to see Steven Zamora's article "Cigarette Smoking: A School Problem" in the last issue of the Pride. This article addressed the problem... I feel that I must strenuously address the problem of smoking on campus. Aside from the issi^e of second hand smoke which I do feel is a pressing concern, the issue of students with respiratory problems (myself included) are at risk to dangerous toxins that have severe negative effects. in order to get a small amount of oxygen into my lungs.

You are shutting out parents who have been heavily involved in volunteering their time and making donations to the school. Do you realize that the tuition increase for non-funded community parents who have their children in three days a week part-time will be from $216 a month to $640 a month? And even if a family could afford it, not everyone wants their children in preschool full-time. A large number of children at the ELC attend two or three days a week, half day. The availability of this schedule is part of the reason the ELC is such a terrific program. Many parents use the ELC as a quality preschool experience for their children, not as a full-time day care setting. What is disturbing is that these changes were made without soliciting any input from the non-funded families. We were not invited to the grant meeting where the reasons for the ELC dropping the CDE Preschool Grant were discussed. These changes came as a total shock to many, and it is upsetting to think that our children may not be able to finish out their The ELC is, hands-down, the best preschool last semester at the ELC. program in North County.

Thanks, Alison Sayer Freshmen La Pastorela According to Rick Moore's latest "In the Loop" electronic campus news wire, he states that our publicly funded university is going to play host to Pastorela: a traditional Mexican holiday. This original Spanish production brings together Cal State San Marcos students and community members in a festive presentation of a traditional Mexican nativity story. I have a hard time understanding why and how this religious "production" that has its roots in Christianity, can actually be allowed to be presented on campus. Is it because its organizers thought that it is harmless? A fter all, aren't they just "getting in the spirit of Christmas?" Doesn't this _ production promote a religious myth that without publicly funded facilities, would hopefully be relegated or limited to being shown in a church rather than the academy??

The preschool has run into fiscal difficulty, and as a result, drastic changes in the childrens' class schedules are being implemented next semester. I am forwarding you a copy of a petition that I am currently circulating at the preschool, protesting these changes. I will be delivering the petition to Keith Speers, Executive Director of ASI, at 10 am on December 12. While the majority of students at CSUSM are not parents, these changes at the preschool are of major concern to the students and staff members who are. Starting March 1, all student parents will be required to have their children The result of these changes is that the preschool will become inaccessible to most parents due to scheduling and monetary constraints. It undoubtedly will spell the end of the program in the long run, which will mean student parents will not have a campus preschool option for their children. This issue may be a deciding factor of where to attend school for many student parents. I wanted to share the information with you. Thank you for your time and attention.

By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer addition, both ASI and parking services are trying to create a direct left-hand turn into the lot in the near future, which would facilitate accessibility. "We want to show the students that they are getting something out of this [parking] fee increase," explained Brown. Curb parking, which was available last semester to relieve tense parking conditions, is now prohibited. Parking services claims that curb parking is no longer necessary since Lot X, a dirt lot located at the corner of Twin Oaks and Craven Dr., is currently available. Each semester, the need for parking spaces relatively close to the campus increases. When questioned about the absence of curb parking, Robert Williams, CSUSM parking services coordinator, explained that curb parking was an emergency measure last semester, which first needs city approval for long-term use because it uses the space allottedforbike lanes and emergency vehicles. Williams said that curb parking was a short-term solution that "allowed [parking services] the time needed to open inconvenience for students who liberal studies major.

Williams added that the next "general surface lot is slated for the area behind the faculty/staff lot," and that this lot will have the capacity for about 600 vehicles. The new general surface lot is tentatively scheduled for the spring of2004, but its availability may not fully rectify the growing need for parking spaces; so there may be a need for Lot X even after the completion of the new lot. services and ASI are concerned about the potential for theft and personal assault after it gets dark. Currently, ASI is working on establishing temporary lighting, which would extend the lot's availability to 10 p.m. In By the academic year 2011/12, parking services plans to complete two parking structures that will house approximately 1,200 parking spaces each. As reported on the parking services website, in an effort to accumulate funds for this project, parking services will again implement a parking fee increase upwards of $300 beginning next fall. P ower s hut o ff a t C SUSM By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Electrical workers turned off CSUSM's electrical service on Monday, Jan. 20. The installation of a new emergency generator necessitated the shutdown. Even though the period without electricity was brief and during the early morning hours of a holiday, some students questioned why the entire system needed to be shut down and whether this is a reflection of possible deficiencies in*CSUSM's electrical service system. These concerns appear to be unwarranted. Ken Collier, a journeyman electrician and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers local 569, as well as an instructor on electrical theory at the Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee in San Diego, answered questions about the installation of emergency generators for industrial applications. According to Collier, generators such as the one installed at CSUSM require the use of an automatic transfer switch or ATS. The ATS senses a lack of power in an established electrical distribution system and switches over to a generator usually driven by a gasoline or diesel engine. The ATS is more than a simple switch, as it also starts the emergency generator and performs electronic motor control operations regulating the generators output. Through the use of the ATS, an electrical system can be functioning again within seconds of a power failure. When electrical service is reestablished the ATS automatically switches back to the main switchgear providing power from the electrical utility, to new construction, such an emergency generator would be built into the electrical distribution system before power from the utility had been established, eliminating the need for any interruption of power. The ATS and generator at CSUSM had to be spliced into the existing distribution system. To avoid working on the high voltages present at the main switchgear, which is neither safe nor practical, the power was temporarily interrupted. installed primarily in hospitals and in industrial operations where uninterrupted power was considered critical. The growing dependence of almost all businesses and services on computers and other digital equipment requiring uninterrupted power Heretofore, emergency power has made the use of emergency generation systems had been power generators more ubiqui- tous. The emergency generator installed at CSUSM is meant to ensure that a constant and reliable supply of electricity is always available for students and faculty.

The parameters Kaplan was referring to was the 1.7-mile long protest route, which began at the intersection of Embarcadero and Market St., continued down Market St. and ended in front of San Francisco City Hall. On Saturday, Jan. 18 in San Francisco, there was an antiwar protest. Organized by the International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, the protest was widely deemed the largest anti-war ¡protest seen in San Francisco since the Vietnam era. At various points along the route, CSUSM student and first-time protester Justin Lessel climbed on top of things like trash cans to get a better view of things. His frank assessment of the scene was that he ".. .couldn't see an end to the people in either CNN.com reported that tens of thousands of people crowded the streets of downtown San Francisco. MSNBC.com was a little more specific in their attendance estimate, reporting that the San Francisco protest drew approximately 80,000 "It's just s o n ice to k now people.

Yamout said, "This isn't the first time I've heard of the news underreporting the attendance at peace rallies. Just last fall A.N.S.W.E.R held a rally in DC and the Washington Post reported that only like 10,000 people had been there when in fact there'd been closer to 100,000. Eventually due to public pressure for them to come clean, they printed a correct article, which reported the actual attendance as being around 100,000. It's stuff like that that makes me skeptical of what I hear in [the] news." Recently, a website was created in an attempt to accurately tabulate the actual number of anti-war protesters throughout the U.S. John Kromko, former Arizona state legislator and cocreator of peacedemo.org, said that the reason he helped create this site is because he felt that, "...the national media typically reports only the number of protesters in protests in a few large cities, which shields pur elected officials from seeing the true depth of opposition to the war." Martin Eder, longtime organizer for Activist San Diego, concurred with that assessment, stating in an email that, "...onJanuary 18th we saw around 1,200 people marching with us in the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice contingent of the Martin Luther King Day parade, but unless you were there you probably would've never heard because it just wasn't reported accurately in the news."

In an effort to move toward a remedy and a better future, several options need to be examined and considered for widespread implementation. An easy avoidance method has been to pass the buck onto future generations. But now, it may be that a generation with the past on its shoulders chooses to role up its sleeves instead of turn its nose. As environmental damages, become more difficult to ignore, as the national population continues to grow exponentially, and as the world is once again facing political turmoil in the Middle East, a region economically crucial for its vast oil reserves, now may be the time to make more meaningful efforts to find alternative energy sources and step toward alternative living styles. the average miles per gallon figure of new cars and trucks deteriorated by nearly 8 percent, from 22.1 in 1988 to 20.4 in 2001, says Consumer Reports. Ideally, efficiency would be apportioned to improve emissions, miles per gallon (mpg), and horsepower. Overall, cars are only using about 15% of the energy in fuel; 75% of gasoline's energy is lost in the process of running the car. Because of this, the potential to improve fuel economy with advanced technologies is enormous. Motor vehicles need energy Here are the main options to accelerate (overcome inertia), currently being proposed by to push air out of their way experts: (aerodynamic drag), to overcome the friction from tires, wheels, More-efficient technology and axles (rolling resistance), as well as to run accessories Technology today, with like air conditioning and power all of its advancements and steering. When engine friction, breakthroughs, is primarily waste heat, and other various funneled into boosting losses such as these are eating horsepower.

Smoother vehicle shapes have already reduced [aerodynamic] drag significantly, but further reductions of 2030% are possible. Advanced tire designs can cut rolling resistance." I by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), an independent research organization created by Congress, "If fuel economy had not improved, gasoline consumption would be about 2.8 million barrels per day (or 14 percent) greater than it is." CAFE standards, however, have remained frozen at the 1985 level for cars and the 1996 level of 20.7 mpg for light trucks, and the auto industry has fought against further increases. Higher fuel taxes While this is not the most appealing option to consumers, it cannot be denied that high fuel prices result in greater fuel conservation. In Europe and Japan, for instance, high fuel taxes have resulted in gasoline prices of $4 (US) per gallon or more, which in turn has created a large demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. In the U.S., however, high fuel taxes are unpopular and politically forlorn. It is unlikely that significant increases in gasoline taxes would pass anytime soon. Lisa Dufresne, a senior and an accounting major, captured popular American sentiment with her statement, "I would prefer to keep [gas prices and consumption rates] the Way they are out of personal convenience, even though it is pretty selfserving." "Even if I knew it was better for the environment, I would keep things the same," echoed senior Graham Smorzewski. "I can barely afford gas as it is now," he said.

According to a recent study "Government regulation is necessary," voiced Kate Irwin, a senior and sociology major. "It's important to have the government watching over to ensure that we're taking measures to protect our environment." While CAFE has been helpful, the standards have serious loopholes and have not been increased in years. Significant improvements won't happen without governmental pressure, and to that end, it seems the standards should be allowed to maintain gradual improvements. Consumers9 Role People often attempt to make a personal statement through the car they drive - whether it is a statement of status, power, or strength. But the latest car-asstatement, says Alexander's Gas and Oil Connections, a website providing an overview of global oil news, "is an unornamented Japanese subcompact driven by people who want to poke a finger in the eye of Saddam Hussein, the oil sheiks and the neighbors who jump into gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles for a drive to the grocery store." Along with the potential statement that smarter cars can make, their purchase functions as a vote cast for better fuel economy.

Achieving particularly high gas mileage, new electric, hybrid-electric, and diesel engine technologies have hit the marketplace in the last decade. The numbers of these cars actually on the road, however, are trifling, and the detriment of the popular vehicles surrounding them in the marketplace overshadows their efforts toward positive change. The new, greener technology also tends to give Americans the impression that the overall marketplace is more conscious than it is in actuality^ Buying a more fuel-efficient vehicle, no matter what class, saves money on gas, may help reduce U.S. petroleum dependence, and sends a signal to carmakers to use advanced technology for increased energy efficiency.

They are off in masses, but not to the little red planet that is our neighbor. Instead they are going to the Mars located in Utah, one of the Mars Analog Research Stations created by the Mars Society. The Mars Society is an international organization that was founded in August 1998. The society is currently about 5,000 members strong, including the 50 to 60 members in San Diego. The society is both a scientific and social organization that combines experimentation with social activities. The society has created two Mars Analog Research stations, one in Devon Island in the Arctic that operated for two months and the other in the midst of Utah's deserts. On February 28, 2001, San Diego created is own chapter of the society and has since played an important role in the research stations, which serve as their mission support and control center. The Mars Analog Research Station in Utah is comprised of "the Hab." "The Hab'Vis a two-deck cylindrical structure with an eight-meter diameter that serves as the habitat for the crewmembers, as well as several peripheral external structures; some are inflatable and some may be attached to "the Hab". The crew is comprised of six members* of different chapters of the society; each crew stays at the habitat for two weeks. The crewmembers drive ATV's, which are vehicles that are similar to ones that have been used on the moon, in their space suits, explore their environment, perform geological experiments, and are attempting to grow plants in a "greenhab" with various soil samples in an atmosphere similar to what might be found on Mars. Currently/ the Mars Society is in complete control of these experiments. NASA has made its priority the Mir Space Station. The internationally manned station that is currently in orbit around earth has taken the bulk of NASA's funding. Due fo this lack of focus on Mars, it is unknown what NASA will do with the Mars Society's findings. The crew at the Research Station in Utah communicates with the San Diego based Mission Control via the Internet. They send typed reports that are filtered through a director to various members who specialize in different scientific fields. The communication is taken very seriously and is performed as realistically as possible, including invoking a five to ten minute time delay that would be realistic in the actual scenario. This allows for the researchers to realize any problems that might arise due to time delays or to be able to rectify any glitches in the system, in order to prevent M embers c onduct s imulation s cenarios to t ry a nd a nticiactual emergencies if astronauts pate p roblems f uture e xplorers may encounter, c ourtesy Photo/Marssociety.org. were to go to Mars. about difficulties due to language contributions to both the field In addition to fulfilling barriers that may arise in the of science and the San Diego scientific interests, the society future. community have not gone offers many of its members the unnoticed.

Confused and distraught, you are contemplating what you have just read in the title. Trust me, this trick is much more difficult to perform than it would ever be to read! Surfing may possibly be one of the greatest spectator sports. Some people agree that it is even better when you are out there in the water doing it yourself, trying to be one of the 'big boys.' learned this trick from a magazine called Transworld Surf. The issue is entitled, "Emision de Santa Cruz." I can't even do this trick yet, nor do I think that I ever will be able to; however I'm improving with practice. This trick, according to the magazine, ranks very high on the difficulty meter. My best advice would be to stretch really well and do a lot of practice heats before attempting this. First, start off by "hauling ass," meaning you should begin paddling as fast as you can to gather up enough speed before you come barreling down the wave. When you reach the bottom of the wave, whip off Here is a trick to try the next time you are out in the water. I the lip and keep your weight as light as possible while keeping centered on the board. As you whip off your lip, your board should now be freely flying through the air. Your back foot should be placed firmly on the tail of the board while the front foot places itself on the nose and at the same time prepare yourself for landing. When you land, pound the nose of the board with your front foot into the water, keeping your weight centered so the whole' board hits the water. If your front foot is not centered, the tail will shake, causing you to lose all balance and inevitably you will crash horribly as the wave rolls over you. The last step for this trick is to stand on the nose of your board and ride backward for a little bit, only so you look cool while you're riding in the wave, actually proving that you have just pulled something off. The feeling of accomplishment will soon override your whole body, allowing you to feel like you can do anything. doing airs. Don't get me wrong though, doing airs can be every surfer's dream, at the same time every surfer's nightmare. Nowa-days, doing airs are required in any professional surfing competition because almost every pro is able to perform them; and when they do, they do it really well, with complete accuracy I know this trick sounds really and perfection. hard to perform, but it almost Therefore, competition like doing a snap (or cutback), amongst individual surfers are only you're in the air. One of the first and foremost constantly rising because new things is to gather, up enough tricks are invented almost everyspeed. Without the right amount day and it is hard for an amateur of speed, it will be difficult for like, you and I to keep track with you to rise your board out of the this fast paced world of surfing water, and if you can't do that, expedition. So, let me be the first then you might as well learn a to wish you good luck, and may new trick that does not involve the force be with you! �THE PRIDE OPTNTON Stop 'Spinning' And Just Say Thank-You By GAIL TARANTINO News Editor While checking out the school's homepage before the semester started, I came across a temporary link* regarding the parking fee increase. Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I decided to read it. That was a big mistake because I'm still mad. > This piece of propaganda from parking services starts out explaining the parking fee increases by saying how "we've had it pretty good," because, before 1999, parking was either free or 12-14 dollars a month. The article actually refers to our dismal parking condition as "our happy, low-cost parking situation." First of all I don't consider parking services (or the adminis- ment increases, a lack of space tration for that matter) a part of and how our "individual deci"we."

I guess it's easier to imply that parking fees increased because students services are not in this together. don't carpool or ride the bus. Secondly, it infuriates me to be told how good I've got it because Another interesting statement years ago students didn't have to was that "while parking fees at pay for plentiful parking. other CSU campuses have been in the general range of those at The author of this piece goes Cal State San Marcos, 11 of the on to explain that the parking other campuses have proposed fee increases are necessary to increases". This suggests to me raise money for future parking that even with the increase, our structures because of enroll- 155 percent fee increase we all enjoyed this semester made Cal State San Marcos the highest in the CSU system. I understand about budgets, building funds and bonds. I understand that we have to step up and pay more for less, so that the next generation of students won't have it worse. But I am sick to death of the spin and propaganda put out by parking services and pubic relations and I don't want to hear it anymore. It's an insult to my intelligence. Instead of telling us "how good we've had it" acknowledge our parking fees are in line with the efforts and sacrifices and just tell other CSU schools. .However us thank-you. Bruce Kauffman of the North County Times, reported in an • www.csusm.edu/parking/ article dated 1/19/03 that the parking_fee_increase.htm PSTTQM ctii/Wit ciihmiccirm Anti-War Movement Fo p g 2 rm ae entire procession of protesters to reach the rallying point of city hall. Contrary to Vietnam era stereotypes of anti-war protesters, the protesters were largely representative of a multi-racial spcio-economically diverse mainstream America. There were soccer moms pushing strollers covered in peace signs, grandparents hoisting signs proclaiming "No War - Not In Our Name " kids of all ages beating all kinds of makeshift drums giving the march a sort of heartbeat, a small elderly marching band playing John Lennon's Imagine, working class types holding pro-union signs and shouting "¡Si Se Puede!" conservatively attired protesters holding signs saying things like "No Blood For Oil" and "Disarm Bush," and there were hippies protesting too. During the protest, Lessel remarked on more than one occasion that he was, "...surprised that most of the protesters looked like ordinary Americans.. .because [he] was kind of expecting to see nothing but your stereotypical hippies." In the Jan. 13 issue of the San Francisco Chronicle, Ruth Rosen wrote, "Never before in human history has an anti-war movement grown so fast and spread so quickly. It is even more remarkable because the war has yet to begin. Publicized throughout cyberspace, the antiwar movement has left behind its sectarian roots and entered mainstream culture." Jan. 18 was a day of both national, and global antiwar protesting with protests simultaneously occurring in various major metropolitan areas around the U.S. and in over 30 nations. CNN.com reported that the week before the protest, the FBI sent a bulletin to over 18,000 law enforcement organizations around the nation warning them to be ready for the possibility of violent protests. CNN.com reported after the protest, "There were no reports of such incidents, or of any violence or confrontations." In Washington DC, three dozen people protesting the anti-war protests gathered at the Vietnam War Memorial to offer their support to the Bush administration's policy on Iraq. One of these protesters was *55 year-old Scott Johnson, a Navy veteran from Minneapolis who asserted that, "The protesters don't understand the threat of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein... k's a war of liberation for people." This past weekend, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell told European political and business leaders at a conference in Switzerland that the U.S. remains willing to attack Iraq alone. CNN.com reported that, "In a 30-minute address that broke no new ground but attempted to enlist world support for U.S. military action against Iraq, Powell rejected criticism from delegates that the United States has not provided enough evidence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein retains weapons of mass destruction." Powell went on to say, "The more we wait, the more chance there i s,for this dictator with clear ties to terrorist groups including al Qaeda— to pass a weapon, share a technology or use these weapons again. The nexus of tyrants and terror, of terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, is the greatest danger of our age." Judging by the language of the signs and chants at the San Francisco protest, it would be safe to say that the protesters reject the Bush administration's pro-war arguments. CSUSM student and first-time protester Tasha Iglesias said she was glad she'd driven herself and three other CSUSM students to San Francisco for the protest. She Photo c ourtesy o f w ww.internationalanswer.org. remarked that, "It's just so nice to know that I'm not really crazy, that I'm not alone, that there are -actually TONS of people who feel the way I do about this issue. I mean, before I came to this protest, from watching the news I actually thought that there weren't many other Americans who were against a war with Iraq. But I'm glad I came here because now I know I was wrong to think that." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Photo courtesy of NASA By ALYSSA FINKELSTEIN L ead Editor For the second time in the last 30 years, the National Aeronautics and Space A dministration (NASA) has lost a space shuttle with astronauts aboard. The explosion of the space shuttle Columbia early last Saturday m orning is the first time in NASA's 42-year history that a shuttle has been lost upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere. Within the last week, NASA has observed the anniversary of its only two other space tragedies, the Challenger explosion, which killed all seven astronauts on board on Jan. 28, 1986, and Apollo I s pacecraft fire that killed three on Jan. 27, 1967. T his was the 88th space flight since the Challenger mission. - Like the Challenger mission, there were seven astronauts aboard Columbia, which had been aiming for 9:16 a.m. landing on Saturday in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Comprised of four US Navy, two US Air Force, and one Israeli Air Force personnel, the crew members lost to the tragedy were Shuttle Commander Rick Husband, Michael Anderson, Kalpana Chawla, William McCool, David Brown, Laurel Clark and Ilan Ramon, who were on their way home f rom a 16-day mission to space when their c raft broke apart. Mission Control in Houston immediately warned residents of the Dallas and Ft. Worth areas in Texas to stay away f rom any falling debris f rom the shuttle "due to the toxic nature of the propellants used aboard the shuttle." The shuttle was 207,000 feet above the E arth's s urface when it disintegrated, ruling out any possibility of a s urface to air missile impact, according to White House press secretary A ri Fleischer. The shuttle was also estimated to have been traveling upwards of 12,000 miles per hour j ust before it broke up and disappeared. spokesperson. A debris field was found in north central Texas. The flag in f ront of the countdown clock at Mission Control in Houston, TX, and in Cape Canaveral, FL, were lowered to half-mast by mid morning Saturday, unofficially acknowledging that the astronauts of the shuttle Columbia had lost their lives. Security had been tight for the 16-day scientific research mission because of the prèsenee of Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut. landing. Space agency officials feared his presence might make the shuttle more of a térrorist target, On Jan. 16, during Coiumbia's l ift o ff, a piece of insulating f oam f rom its external rocket b oosters came o ff and was believed to have struck the l eft w ing of the shuttle L eroy Cain, the lead flight director in Mission Control, assured r eporters Friday that engineers had concluded that any d amage to the wing was considered minor and posed no s afety hazard.

The increase in temperature and recorded wind resistance caused the shuttle's automatic pilot mechanism to change the course of the shuttle during reentry, which should not have caused the shuttle to disintegrate, but may have been an attempt by the ship's computers to avert the inevitable explosion. Another speculation about the demise of Columbia's reentry is that it was first scheduled for l iftoff in July of last year, when the mission was delayed due to a leak in oxygen lines. Columbia had been given all new equipment and instrumentation since that fuel tank, and the spacecraft soon a fter burst into flames. There were no space missions for a f ull two years a fter the Challenger tragedy. The next scheduled NASA mission was for the shuttle Atlantis to leave the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 1, 2003, in order to deliver more supplies and equipment to the international space station. Immediate word is that the mission will be postponed until f urther notice, however the Atlantis mission was supposed to deliver a relief crew to the members currently aboard the space station, and bring the current members home.

CaI State San Bernardino Student Charged With Murder CSU college student and his half-brother were arrested and charged for the grizzly murder of their mother By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff-Writer Local law "enforcement arrested Jason V. Bautista, 20, and Matthew B. Montejo, 15, for .the murder of their mother, Jane Marie Bautista. Jane Bautista's dismembered head and hands were found in a duffel bag in an apartment in Riverside; the remains of her body were located down a ravine off of Ortega Highway in Orange County. Police stated that the two defendants allegedly, dismembered their mother's body after her death to conceal her identity. One of the defendants told investigators that the idea to dismember the body came from an episode of "The Sopranos," which is a series about New Jersey mobsters on HBO.

See MURDER, page 3 Bone Marrow Recruitment Drive Coming To Campus By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer The San Diego Blood Bank Stem Cell Donor Center brings "Faces of Hope 2003" to Cal State San Marcos, on Feb. 11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Founders' Plaza. "Faces of Hope 2003" is a bone marrow and stem cell recruitment campaign that is attempting to recruit a larger and more diverse pool of volunteer donors by targeting members of minority groups. Every year thousands of African Americans, American Indian/Alaska Natives, Asian/ Pacific Islanders and Hispanics are diagnosed with leukemia, aplastic anemia or other lifethreatening blood diseases. The only hope for a cure is finding a donor for a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. However, there are not enough members of these communities donating bone marrow or stem cells. These transplants require matching certain tissue traits of the donor and patient. Because these traits are inherited, the most likely match would be a family member. The problem therein lies due to the fact that 70 percent of the people diagnosed cannot find a match within their own families. Although it is possiblefor a patient to match a donor from any racial or ethnic group, the most common match is someone from his or her own ethnic group. Although many minority patients are finding donors for their transplants, they are still less likely than Caucasians to identify a matched donor. More donors from these ethnic minority groups are still needed, so patients of every racial and ethnic background will have a chance of finding a matched donor. The key qualifications that must be met by possible donors are for her/him to be between the ages of 18 and 60, have no medical history of asthma, cancer, diabetes, heart or circulatory disease, be willing to be a donor for anyone who needs a transplant, and be within 20 percent of her/his ideal weight for her/his height and age. The North County Times, local radio stations, and other media outlets will cover the event.

By MEG EPPEL Pride Staff Writer Last November, California voters passed Propositions 47 and 49, in* part to provide the necessary funds to build new classrooms and provide after school care. However,, since California is now facing a multi-billion dollar deficit, the money allocated for these propositions no longer exists. The loss of these funds will adversely affect the California schools system and its students. According to Ray Sotero, the press secretary for the Budget Department of the Assembly of California, the state budget has an overall deficit of 26 billion dollars. However, Sotero says that Governor Gray Davis has estimated the deficit to be approximately 36 billon dollars. In order to offset the largest deficit in California history, DaVis plans to make cuts throughout all state funded agencies. A onecent increase in sales tax is also planned. The public education system, including K-12, community colleges, UC and CSU schools, will see a loss of approximately 5.4 billion dollars. The CSU system alone will sustain a loss of 59.6 million dollars. The reduction is unallocated to allow the CSU the flexibility to determine where to make the cuts in order to minimize the effects at the schools, according to the Mid-Year Spending Reduction Proposal released by the Governor's office last December. The CSU system has also experienced an influx of 24,000 new students, requiring the schools to maintain the standards expected by the applicants despite the decreasing funds. CSUSM has dealt with the deficit this semester- by increasing tuition fees by Editorial H Staff Alyssa Finkelstein Lead Editor Staff Writers Lead Editor Design Editor News Editor Feature Editor Arts Bàtter Opinion Editor Spanish Editor Sports :pÉor ' tìmoWMm Graduate Intern Jared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jason Padilla, Jeanne Raupp Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel Martin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie My res, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Cundiff.DianaKQ, Caboto, Honee Folk, Araceli Catalan Advisor ', : Martha S arabia Desmond Barca Gail Tarantino Jennifer Acee Chris Martin Chris Martin Martha Sarabia Jessica Krone Desmond Barca Leiana Naholowaa Alyssa Finkelstein i-1 Madeleine Marshall 10 percent. Unfortunately, this will not be the only fee increase that students will experience, because the state has approved a 25 percent increase in tuition fees for the 2003-04 academic year. open in the spring 2003 semester. Spencer McWilliams, dean of the college of arts and sciences, commented that the school would make every effort to provide the classes that students need in order to fulfill their requirements, but may not be able to offer the courses that students want. McWilliams also added that students would have fewer ways to fulfill their course requirements and fewer electives. CSUSM, as well as other state schools, will be receiving more money than in previous years, due to the tuition increase, but it will not be state funded, as explained by CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore. Moore stressed that He explained that the uses of CSUSM will try to maintain this money might not be visible its high academic standards, to the student body, since it is particularly the writing difficult for the school to allot requirement.

She has received a grant from the National Institute of Aging to study families who are caring for an Alzheimer's patient. "I have always been interested in how family members respond to one another's development," said Dr. Hamill. The Alzheimer's Association web site, www.alz.org, features educational information about the disease and provides contact information, but does not mention teens, or the special needs or challenges they face when their families are confronted with caring for an AD patient. As Americans are living longer and the average age of the population increases, Dr. Hamill states that the fastest growing segment of the population is people who are 85 years and older. The risk for developing Alzheimer's is expected to increase by between 30 and 50 percent. According to Hamill, the care for these people will fall on the families, "contrary to the Dr. Sharon Hamill, who myth that Americans abandon received her Ph.D. in social ecol- their elderly." ogy from UC Irvine, is a develop- ested in adolescence because it is a period of intense change and growth. "In the case of looking at how Alzheimer's impacts the family, it is important to look at how young people in the family view the disease. Those young people are the future caregivers," she said. Another Alzheimer web site, the National Institute of Aging at www.alzheimers.org, under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, makes a brief mention of teenagers as "secondary caregivers." The site acknowledges that the teens do suffer as a result of their parents' caregiving activities, but gives no specific suggestions about how to help teens cope with the stress. By JEANNE RAUPP SAPP Pride Staff Writer It's hard to think of anything more devastating than looking into the eyes of a loved one and seeing a lack of recognition, or even fear. That is what the families of later stage victims of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) face every day. Much research has been done on the stress faced by primary caretakers, typically the adult children and spouses, who are called the "sandwich generation." Little research, however, has been done on the effects that this caretaking has on the next generation, adolescents between 10 and 22 years old, living in the homes of the caretakers. the_project.htm. Hamill will use the information gathered in the study to create "interventions" for helping multi-generational caregivers. Although there is much to be learned by studying the difficulties in caregiving situations, the study goes beyond that. Hamill said, "By identifying those aspects that are rewarding - and there are some, believe me - we will be able to teach families how they can increase the positive experiences that they have." Along with a staff of graduate students and research assistants, Hamill will conduct phone interviews with the primary adult caregiver, the spouse, and one teen in the family. The family will be paid $15 for participating in a 30-minute phone interview.

For some students, adaptation to the university culture can be difficult and may result in the student dropping out to avoid ambiguous situations. Conversely, students who are integrated into their campus culture are more likely to have a positive college experience. At CSUSM, the Faculty Mentoring Program (FMP) has courageously and successfully created a common and shared community for students who are at risk of having a negative college experience. The primary goal of FMP is to increase retention and graduation rates among these students. The program features mentor-protégé relationships, multiple support services, and sociocultural opportunities. Since its inception in academic year 1991-1992, the FMP has acted as a bridge between students and the educational system. Cd-Directors Vicki Qolich and Edward Pohlert uniquely manage the program with a conscious blend of academic and student service support organizations. At the heart of the program is the mentor-protégé relationship. Mentors consist .of volunteer faculty members who are partnered with student protégés on an individual basis. According to Anna Fleming, FMP support assistant and CSUSM student, the mentor-protégé ratio càn be 1:3 but overwhelmingly is 1: 1 with approximately 80 mentors and 85 protégés. The mentors and protégés meet at an orientation breakfast at the start UÊSW "MMM** COAST GUARD AMD COAST 60ARD RÉSERVE of the school year, where they receive handbooks that explain their respective roles and responsibilities. Thereafter, they are encouraged to meet or make contact monthly and to participate and interact in various FMP-sponsored social and cultural activities. Mentors offer protégés wisdom, guidance, and support in such a way that facilitates adjustment to college life and bolsters the returns that the protégés derive from their college experience. The mentor, as trusted advisor, provides guidance for both baccalaureate and post-baccâlaureate objectives. FMP protégé Michelle Demont is a senior with a major in sociology and minor in criminology. She-explained how the FMP program and her mentor, professor Donna Goyer of the sociology department, have been very influential and important to Jier college career. "They just give you moral support and help find ways to motivate you," Demont said. In fact, she explained how she was motivated in part by her mentor to help organize the Sociology Club and was subsequently elected as the sociology club president by her peers. "Donna really encouraged me to become involved," said Demont. Demont is planning to attend law school as well as earn a doctorate degree after her graduation from CSUSM. Demont articulates her career goals with enviable clarity and confidence. In an effort to expand post-graduate opportunities, the program offers the FMP Post-Grad Test Registration* Scholarship which will pay for four test fees per Academic Year, i.e. LSAT, GRE, GMAT, CBEST, RICA, etc. The program also provides books and software on select exams. Fleming explained "not only does the program increase graduation rates but it also increases the number of students who go o n : to graduate schools These students really never believed before that they could." ^ .\ V Another goal of FMP is to raise socio-cultural awareness and provide opportunities for mentors arid protégés to foster their relationships. Toward this* end, FMP sponsors two major social events per academic year, which include the Holiday Dialogue Gathering in December and the Year-End Graduate Awards ceremony in honor of graduating students. At the Holiday Dialogue Gathering, the participants enjoy food, games, and a gift exchange. The YearEnd Graduate Awards ceremony is the highlight of the academic year as the protégés have an opportunity to share how important the program was for them to reach their goals. Both Golich and Fleming expressed how compelling the end-of-year stories are. Fleming says, "At the graduation ceremony, we see tears of joy and appreciation." FMP also purchases a limited number of tickets to a diverse amount of cultural events at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, and offers them to mentors and protégés on a first response basis. Goyer says of her experience, "It's great to know students on a personal level outside of the classroom." She adds that the process is rewarding for her in that she To be eligible for the program, students is able to experiencefirsthand the success must be enrolled at CSUSM, be a junior of a once "at-risk" student.

I assume the editors of The Pride A Response to Vincent Williams Mr. Williams, first of all thank you for taking the time to write to The Pride with your views, and for taking part in this public forum regarding last week's illustration depicting Hitler in front of a "No Parking" sign. The "Stop 'spinning' and Just Say Thank You" opinion, article with which the illustration was printed was not a complaint about having to pay high parking fees. The article and the Hitler graphic were both intended to address issues of propaganda and being disrespected. Hitler has become an icon and in the context in which his image was employed, it represents a reprimand and a cautioning to the institution with regard to propaganda. It was intended to be offensive, and to retaliate for the offense the author of the article took when presented The freedom of the press allows The Pride to print whatever they wish; good taste should have kept them from printing this picture. The "spinning" of fee increases is in no way comparable to Hitler's propaganda of war and genocide. If the editors of The Pride continue to feel the connection is accurate, I urge them to visit the Holocaust Memorial Museum. You can go online and visit http: //www.ushmm.org/. Look at a picture of someone who either lived through the time or did not make it. Then tell me if losing your life is the same as spending an extra $98 to park your car. Vincent Williams Student, Liberal Studies with propaganda. A full life is lived in many human contexts, and Peggy Adams' life was indeed a full one. I know that it was, even though I knew her only in the limited context of the classroom and the campus, because of the kind of person she was. * At the beginning of the fall semester in 2001, I began teaching a new class on gender and sexuality in American history. I was worried about the class, because it would raise questions that students might find difficult to talk about. I needn't have worried, for a marvelous group of students had enrolled. On the second day, one brought a friend —Peggy Adams, an articulate, pleasant looking woman of about 50. A woman of extraordinary intelligence, humanity, and a Obviously, PR is important and necessary to the university in order to attract new students, but when the university addresses current students, it should talk straight to us and not insult us with a spun version of the situation. The article and the illustration were intended to strongly express our dissatisfaction with the handling of this issue. great, self-deprecating sense of humor, she quickly became a class leader. Her emotional maturity and verbal gifts gave her a remarkable ability to talk about experiences of love, human bonding, parenthood, and loss. When it came, time to talk about the sixties, seventies, and eighties, she shared her experiences with a (mostly) younger group of students. Students gravitated to her, and the class was a great success. We had wonderful conversations outside of class. She was more like a colleague than a student. It was a great pleasure for all of us to get to know Peggy. I admired her, and I will miss her. A lot. Anne Lombard Faculty response. Taste is subjective. Our nation is founded on the idea that unpopular ideas or beliefs, which are often described as "in bad taste," can and must be voiced for the free exchange of ideas to occur. The illustration I created using these images could be injected with any number of meanings (as can anything symbolic), but the intended meaning can only be properly understood based on its context, in this case, the article. Desmond Barca Nothing -in the context of the Design Editor article suggests that "losing your life is the same thing as spending an extra $98 to park your car." I also feel that your comments concerning good taste require Unreasonable Searches at the Alports Well, another winter break has gone by, and I'm wondering just hdw many other students here at CSUSM traveled by air during the break? Did anyone notice the new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees at the airport? I did. Did anyone else find the man with the rubber glove to be surprisingly gentle?

Similar searches are performed each time we apply for a job or loan. Why couldn't we administrate this system to monitor travelers? I project that on a long-term basis, it would reduce government spending (mostly on thousands of unnecessary and redundant TSA employee jobs) and greatly reduce the amount of unwarranted and unreasonable searches performed everyday by TSA employees. On my way back from Alaska, I was again subjected to a search of my person. As I walked through the metal detector at Anchorage International Airport, I had unknowingly put my hand in my pocket. Wow! Immediately I was treated as a suspect that was about to commit acts of terror that the world had not yet seen! The lady who 'apprehended' me for putting my hand in my pocket yelled to another TSA employee (a man) to come over and give me a 'full inspection'. He proceeded to take me behind a partition, which really wasn't a partition at all as it was made from see thru plexi-glass, and wand me furiously. My shoes beeped. He then commanded I remove my shoes for further inspection. Again he passes the wand over my entire body and socked feet. This time my metal belt buckle beeped. Now I had to unbuckle my pants in front of numerous other travelers and allow the inspector to take a peek at what I had behind my belt buckle. After he determined I carried no weapons or bombs and that I wore boxers from the GAP, he let me go. As I sat down to put my shoes back on (they had been submitted to a bomb testing device) the man voluntarily explained the processes and procedures of the TSA and in an almost apologetic tone he stated that he was just doing his job. Well good for him. I 'm glad that my taxes are paying for my inconvenient searches. Attention CSUSM students! Next time you fly, be aware of the new and 'improved' airport security. You may be patted, wanded, and probed, but I guarantee you will feel completely free of any violation. Until it happens again. And again. And again. Then you too will begin to wonder how the TSA has improved airport security, if not only to irritate, violate, and harass thousands of innocent Americans everyday.

Professor Patty Seleski, chair of the history department, compared it to juggling, as the needs of students and the budget that has been allocated by the dean have to be balanced. "It's the curse of middle management," she said. The course scheduling process is much more complex than most people realize, and thè upcoming budget crisis has only made it more complicated than before. Several factors must be juggled when the department chairs determine when, where, and how many sections of a course will be offered. The needs of both the major and of general education (GE) requirements are considered. Every department offers several GE courses, which must be taken by all students. Enough classes for the department's major also have to be offered, but these classrooms can be hard tofilldue to their specialized nature. An attempt is made to offer major courses at a variety of times, but usually only one section of a particular course is. offered per semester or year. Attempts are made to offer courses in "a consistent, predictable way," said the chair of the mathematics department, professor Linda Holt. If several classes are only available once per year, schedulers will attempt to consistently offer courses during the same semesters. Class A is always available in the spring, class B is always in the fall. These major classes are arranged like this to avoid conflict. See SCHEDULE, page 5 TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 2003 STATE OF THE CAMPUS ADDRESS Tempers Flared as the State of the Campus Address, turned into a State of the Parking Address By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer A As President /\ Alex Gonzalez took i V . the stage, students started to gather around the microphone, like lions stalking their prey, as they anxiously waited their turns to ask questions of the panelists last Monday, Feb. 3. , " About 50 students gathered at the Mezzanine Plaza, with the unforgiving sun beating on panelists' heads, in order to find out what the school president and the panelists had to say about the current situation at Cal State/ San. Marcos. Gonzalez began by talking about the budget, and he said that the increase in parking fees is not related to the tuition hike. According to Gonzalez, the California state government does not fund parking facilities; money that is used to finance a parking structure must come directly through parking fees, therefore the increase in parking fees was needed and fees will continue and ASI Corporate Secretary to increase.

Local news has focused on troops leaving for the Gulf and the nationwide news has been focused on the words of President George Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell. It is obvious that important decisions are being made during this and the last few months. These decisions are important to CSUSM students because they directly involve the young citizens, a large percentage of whom are members of the military. This is especially true with the large numberof CSUSM students who are currently enlisted in the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and service reserves. There are also approximately 600 CSUSM students who aire Veterans, according to Corkie Lee, veterans affairs representative at CSUSM.

What most students do not know is that the popular brand name of the school has been changed from CSUSM to Cal State San Marcos. Cal State San Marcos is the trademark that students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and off-campus community members see on official letterhead, business cards, and banners along Craven Drive and Campus View Way. Markings on university vehicles as of a year and a half ago have also been changed, based on a decision made by the Academic Program Committee and by recommendation of the Academic Program Marketing Task Force.

Iraqi Conflict f rom page 1 explained that knowing the definite number of students on active duty is difficult because they may not always inform the school about their military status. He did, however, explain th#t during this semester, the school is experiencing the largest number of students than ever before in CSUSM history who have not enrolled or dropped their classes due to deployment notices. Bills noted that many of the students who are still attending are getting forms to withdraw from classes for the same reason. largely based in Miramar and Camp Pendleton received deployment orders. Recently, 17,000 reservists were called into duty, bringing the total number of National Guard and reservists to over 110,000. With so many young people leaving on duty and San Diego's large military role, it brings the conflict close to home at CSUSM.

Roost remains active duty enlisted, but due to his involvement in MCEP, he is unable to be deployed until he graduates. He said that he doesn't feel that the Iraq conflict is affecting his current experience at CSUSM. As final decisions about the conflict draw near, it is unavoidable that CSUSM students will be affected along with the rest of the nation. As students make decisions about their feelings about the possible war, friends and classmates are preparing to be involved directly, in the conflict, reminding this campus that war is never as far as the battlefield. the question about the curb parking Williams said that, "Parking services knew there would b e a tight crunch last semester therefore curb parking was allowed. Curb parking was ultimately suspended because " the risk outweighed the benefit." According to Williams, " This semester there is ample parking, even during the busiest times." Shuttles Parking and Curb A manda Davenport, Liberal Studies, asked about t he shuttles that ran last spring and were cancelled last semester, that she did not know about at the time because of improper advertising according t o Davenport, and why the shuttles were done away with.

One such person was a former Cal State San Marcos employee and recycling program coordinator, Nancy Quinn. Quinn had been working diligently toward improving the program, but when the state of California announced budget cuts to the CSU system last semester, Quinn was let go.

E-mail: pride@rcsusm.edu http://www.csusm.edu/pride The Pride �and other obstacles some students face By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer "At the beginning of last semester I was excited to start college. I had chosen my classes and I thought that it was going to be easy. Unfortunately within* the first couple of weeks I noticed that I was having more trouble in my classes that the average student." This is a typical struggle for students with learning disabilities, especially once they reach the college level. It is difficult for many to admit they are experiencing academic difficulties, but once they do, they no longer have to fight the battle alone. " I kept trying to brush off what was going on.

Rubella, Measles, and Mumps: Oh My! Student Health Services offers free M MR vaccinations By JASON PADILLA Opinion Editor There is still time to clear the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) immunization that is required by CSUSM. Students who are unsure about the current status of their immunization need to contact their physician or doctor in order to clarify the uncertainties. For students sure of their need, the Student Health Services (SHS) clinic will be offering free MMR vaccination shots on Friday Feb. 21, Mar 7 and March 21. MMR vaccines will be held at the SHS clinic located on the corner of corner of Craven and Twin Oaks and are available to all registered students. Those who cannot make the scheduled dates for vaccinations may schedule an appointment for another time. Able to spread from person to person through the air, Measles, Mumps and Rubella are serious diseases. Not only are they serious, but they can also be very annoying to students who find a MMR hold on their registration. The CSU system requires that all students be immunized to MMR prior to their first semester of being enrolled £t a CSU campus. Junior communication major Paul Anderson experienced this first hand. "I didn't even know that measles mumps or rubella was an issue, but apparently I needed the vaccine before I could register for my first semester at CSUSM a few years back," Anderson said. Anderson later went to the SHS clinic and received his vaccine. Many students may not be of the testicles or ovaries, and aware of their MMR vaccine status on occasion, death. The rubella because the shots are usually given (German measles) virus can cause at a very young age - one at 12 to rashes, mild fever, and arthritis 15 months old and the second at 4 (mostly in women).

The waiver includes a contractual agreement on behalf of the student, which states that in the event of an outbreak on campus, the student will not be allowed on campus until the outbreak is under control. It is also possible to get an MMR titer from a doctor or physician that establishes immunity to the diseases, and removes the requirement from a student's record at SHS. However, getting a simple immunization from the SHS clinic can be beneficial to avoid future registration conflicts, and for overall health and wellness; For more information or to double check mentioned facts, visit the SHS clinic at www.csusm.edu/ shs.

Major classes shouldn't conflict with each other. The idea is to let students have access, at some time of the day, to the classes they need. This is even further complicated by the fact that some departments provide prerequisite courses for other majors, or offer classes that are eligible for upper division GE credit. The departments try to work with each other in order to coordinate their schedules. The dean's office is responsible for making sure the schedule is "well balanced" , between GE and majors' courses, said Arts and Sciences Dean Spencer McWiUiams. FEATURE can only hold 35 students. The department chairs have very little control over when a classroom will be available. So, a popular class may be forced to use a smaller classroom. The department chairs interviewed also said that the concerns of instructors are another consideration. The appropriate teacher has to be matched to classes in which they have a certain degree of expertise; a teacher who specializes in vertebrate physiology is not the best choice to lead a microbiology class. Instructors also can't be scheduled at unreasonable hours. A teacher shouldn't have to teach one class at seven in the morning and one at five in the evening, or teach According to Cassel, the four classes in a row. According number of available classes is to Cassel, they need to be at their also a "huge issue." Cal State best performance level.

Each department also has to make certain that Full Time Equivalent Student (FTES) targets are met each semester. These targets are determined by the chancellor of the CSU, and are based on past enrollment. The dean's office then allocates the FTES to each department. There is some negotiation of FTES numbers between departments, but it is a finite number. Each department as a target enrollment uses the numbers, and it determines the budget for that particular department. A majority of the budget goes to f ull time employee salaries, with much of the remainder going toward operating expenses such as labs and equipment. The ambunt of money that each department receives is determined by how well they meet their FTES targets, so classes are scheduled at popular enrollment times. This is one reason there are not as many night sections; night sections don't enroll as heavily as night programs, due primarily day sections. to constraints such as expensive labs. Some departments know The budget crisis will impact that graduate students tend to scheduling in "a really negative work during the day, and may way" said Seleski.

Also, the group felt that 'Cal State San Marcos seemed less formal, friendlier, and more welcoming to incoming students, who were our highest priority target group." The decision to make Cal State San Marcos the brand name trademark of the university was made in September 2000 by the Academic Program Marketing Task Force. This change was announced to the campus at the Fall Convocation a year and a half ago and put into effect at the start of the fall 2001 semester. An email was sent out to all the task force members to ask if they would comment on this meeting and the decision that was made, but few responded and the ones who did only referred The Pride to Rick Moore for the group's official statement. When asked if students were officially notified of this change and how, Moore stated, "Students were represented on the committee. I do not know if their representative 'officially' notified ASI or students. The change in the university mark did not affect the Cougar mark that is used by student groups." Why are students not in the know? Most students were unaware of this change to the brand name and were not sure why it took place. According to Moore, there was no known form of notification for the student body, because at the time there was no "in the loop" email and the Cougar Channel did not exist. Since the change took place a year and a half ago, there has not been a lot of discussion about it among the student body. Brodowsky added, "I wonder why, at this time, this is being followed up on as a high priority issue as if it were breaking news." In answer to his question, The Pride did not report on this issue at the time because it was not a public pertinent announcement that had been made to the student body, and now as the brand name is used, the focus on the correct term is at hand. According to Moore, the response to the change was stated as, "Enthusiastic acceptance. Some faculty were concerned that we had taken the word 'university' out of the mark, so we developed an academic mark for them to use in certain circumstances, such as when submitting papers or research findings and when conducting academic business outside of the northern San Diego region. Albie Hewlett, a senior communication major, also commented to the name brand change. "We as students are the ones who use this title to acknowledge our university. It is something as simple as a name that can help build an individual's school pride and this can be particularly important for a university like CSUSM!" Hewlett said. �Ü Campus B eat Question: INTO HIGH GEAR! "What does Valentine's Day mean to you?'

Por DIANA K. CABUTO Redactora de The Pride Llegué a pensar que la prensa y los medios mexicanos estaban exagerando, que se le envidiaba a la pobre actriz por haberse ido a Estados Unidos a buscar nuevas fronteras, que por "traicionar a México" se le tenía resentimiento, que se le tenía coraje por estar dejando dinero al cine americano y por haber logrado en menos de 10 años lo que muchos no han logrado en 20. Tal vez de esta manera es como ella lo mira, o como ella lo quiere v er Sin embargo, ahora me doy cuenta qüe otras celebridades mexicanas o de otra nacionalidad latina que han triunfado en el extranjero son igualmente criticadas al momento de no responder a la prensa mexicana, como es el caso del cantante mexicano Luis Miguel.

La diferencia con Luis Miguel es que él no se queja, tomando en cuenta que así es la vida del espectáculo. dicen algunas cuantas personas. Que comprenda que no por que algunos mexicanos critiquen su película por coraje a su actitud, esto quiera decir que todo México la este atacando y que ella ataque a todos por igual y comience con su actitud arrogante a cambio. Como ya mencioné, a Salma Hayek se le han reconocido sus éxitos y se ha hablado muy bien de sus proyectos y de su talento. Tal parece que nada más busca pretextos para alejarse más de su país y divagar sólo las cosas negativas de la prensa mexicana. Si es la actriz que dice ser, debería de saber que no siempre se le van a dar halagos y aplausos. Sólo espero que antes de tener esa actitud tan negativa con México y la prensa, que trate de entender que su abandono es la causa de las persecuciones por parte de la prensa, que necesita ser un poco más accesible, y que todo actor profesional pasa por estas cosas, que ella no es la única.

Basically, marketing exploits those in relationships so pathetic and shallow that the opposite sex feels the need to give their "loved one" a gift; usually in a sad attempt to convince them they don't actually suck. Unfortunately, if you fell victim to buying that special someone a gift, you probably do suck. Thank god February is the shortest month of the year. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about adult relationships that are more or less built on convenience, are nonfunctional, and end up lasting a short while due to inadequacy and the need for attachment. With only the intentions of getting in each other's pants, the simple minds of these relationships are the same simple minds responsible for fueling the evil fires of Valentine's Day. Maybe someday these fires might burn so evil and hot, they w ilt burn the 14th right off the calendar.

Removed Then Reinstated from page 1 The BOD met on Jan. 31 to discuss and vote on the issue o f Patel's reinstatement. Patel, in a brief statement to the BOD, admitted missing the retreat due to an unexpected family emergency and asked to be reinstated. The vote to reinstate Patel was unammous. Last spring, Shannon Tweed, a human development major, was elected to the BOD as the College o f A rts and Sciences representative, also missed a retreat due to a death in her family, and she was removed from her position on the BOD. Unlike Patel, Tweed was not reinstated. During the discussion portion o f Patel's appeal, Alan Smith, College o f Education representative, questioned why Patel should be reinstated for missing a retreat due to a family emergency when Tweed was denied reinstatement for the same reason. Erik Roper, ASI vice president o f communications, said his decision to vote against reinstating Tweed was based on his understanding that Tweed was not going to attend the retreat originally because she was going to attend a wedding. Although Roper admitted that his information could be considered hearsay, he felt that Tweed's subsequent family emergency didn't justify [Tweed's] reinstatement because she was going to miss the retreat anyway. When asked what she thought o f Roper's statements at the BOD meeting, Tweed, who was in attendance at the recent BOD meeting, replied that she was "shocked," and added that even though Roper admitted his information was hearsay, " It bothers [her] that no one has asked [her] to tell [her side o f the story]." After the elections in the spring o f 2002, a three-day ASI retreat was scheduled for June, immediately following final exams. According to Patel, the purpose o f the " summer" retreat is for the new BOD members to get to know each other, to set goals, and to learn about their jobs and the ASI organization. Tweed said that she advised Brown that she would miss the retreat because o f an out o f town wedding, and that Brown changed the dates o f the retreat to accommodate Tweed. because the only body that meets over the summer is the executive committee. Brown added that the executive committee makes all o f the decisions until the BOD begins to meet in the fall. Tweed explained she missed the retreat anyway because her grandmother died right before Tweed claims she didn't get a finals. According to Tweed, chance to appeal for reinstateshe left town right after finals. ment, and that Brown agreed to Tweed said she knew she would notify Tweed when she could be removed from the BOD and appeal.

Brown also said that Tweed's appeal was done verbally and that the executive committee voted to reject the appeal and selected a replacement for her last fall. When asked why only the executive committee decided on Tweed's appeal, when Patel's appeal was voted on by the entire BOD, Brown explained it was Brown was asked i f Tweed was treated differently than Patel because the executive committee thought she was lying about the reason she missed the retreat. Brown said, "No, I t hink they were each treated fairly." Brown added, " Their situations were different."

Brown added that she was hesitant to discuss Shannon's case because a lot o f the discussion between them was done privately in closed sessions. Brown did reiterate that the situations o f Tweed and Patel were unrelated. When Tweed was asked i f Patel should have been denied reinstatement, she said, "No. I 'm glad they kept Arti. [Patel] works hard and deserves her position." Tweed explained that she felt she was treated differently from Patel, in part because she " wasn't a part o f [the executive committee] group," because she had run on a different slate than Patel and Brown. However, Brown said, " half o f the voting executive members [did not run] on my slate [either]." Tweed pointed out that " they replaced me with someone who didn't go to the retreat either." Tweed ended by saying, " My teachers were understanding during [the death o f a family member], couldn't the executive committee have been, too?'' p age 1 After acknowledging students' request for a storage area, ASI arranged for the delivery and installation o f 40 pay-to-use lockers.

For this reason he founded the Association for the Study o f Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study o f Afro-American Life and History) in 1915 to promote the integration o f blacks into history books. Then, in 1916, he founded the widely respected Journal ofNegro History. Already known for his work in the black community, Woodson was far from done. His crowning achievement came in 1926 with the inception o f Negro History Week, the second week in February. The week was chosen because Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln share birthdays during that week. Since this remembrance has been adapted and lengthened to Black History Month, there has been a long running joke that February was selected because it is the shortest month o f the year. The fact remains that there are a number o f significant reasons as to why February remains the month to celebrate AfricanAmerican history: • On Feb. 23, 1868, W.E.B. Dubois, a civil rights leader and co-founder o f the National Association for the Advancement o f Colored People (NAACP), was born. • O n Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment was passed. This granted black people the right to vote. • On Feb. 25, 1870, Hiram R. Revels took office as the first black Senator in United States History. • On Feb. 12, 1909, the NAACP was founded. • O n Feb. 1, 1960, a group o f black Greensboro, N.C. college students began a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter in what would become a civilrights movement milestone. • O n Feb. 21, 1965, three black Muslims shot the militant black leader who promoted Black Nationalism, Malcolm X, to death. Although Woodson and others like him have helped in the effort to bring neutral, balanced and unbiased records to academia there is still much work to be done. Only with similar continued efforts can the U.S. history be interpreted accurately.

By 1880, Edison had developed the basic technology to record and play back sound. The first phonograph was a device comprised o f a cylinder, wrapped in a sheet o f foil. As Edison spoke a child's poem into a mouthpiece attached to the cylinder, sound waves caused a needle to make dents in the foil. Playback involved merely reversing the operation - and " Mary Had a Little Lamb" became part of the U.S. sound history. In 1885, scientists improved on the design by creating a cardboard cylinder coated in wax. Three o f these wax cylinders contain sounds that have been included in the registry.

McConnell, S ee S OUNDS, page 12 �FEATURE THE.PRIDE er a e By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer There is a special group o f people at Cal State San Marcos. They are international students. These students come from all over the world, in search o f higher education and in hope o f unlimited opportunities. There are approximately 100 full time international students enrolled this semester at CSUSM. Countries as far away as Yemen, Oman, and Greece are represented, along with countries as close as Canada and Mexico. - order to breathe their first fresh breath o f air in America. This feeling o f euphoria dies quickly, and panic sets in when all o f the pre-departure preparations are put to the test. Will there be a place to live? Will I get all my classes? Questions such as these may plague the students' minds for weeks. Although a scenario like this may not be the case for every international student, it gives some insight into what obstacles must be overcome when traveling around the world to receive higher education. Traveling over these great distances to vacation is comprehendible to most students, but imagine what it would be like to travel half way around the world to attend school for an extended period o f time. Takashi Sasaki, who has participated in several international student programs in the U.S., shares many o f the same feelings o f frustration and stress expressed in this fictional portrayal. "The language and everyday life are the most difficult," said Sasaki. Upon getting off o f the airplane, after a twenty hour flight, many international students may feel that their eyes have gotten so blurry that they can barely read the signs directing them where to go. I t may don upon her/him that, although they have a fairly good grasp on the English language, the option to speak in their native language is no longer available. The reality o f the situation is that international students now have to eat, sleep, and speak English every minute o f every day. "The most simple tasks such as setting up a bank account, or going grocery shopping, sometimes end up to be the most difficult thing to do," said Sasaki. He also remarked that everyday life was only a portion o f the problems that international students face. In many instances, financial matters and immigration regulations can be the biggest bump in the road for international students. They can most likely expect a wonderful greeting from the infamously unfriendly U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (I.N.S.). An intense interrogation, in English, with an inspector usually leads to a frenzy o f stamping, stapling, folding, and more stamping of immigration documents. On most occasions, it is to the delight o f the international student that they are informed o f the processing fees, and a secondary inspection, where the student's bags will be t om open and searched vigorously. Usually, after spending a considerable amount o f time repacking all o f their extremely personal items, international students finally will get the chance to step out of the front doors o f the terminal, in When asked why he chooses to continue to stay in the U.S., Sasaki said that the experience was a once in a lifetime chance, and the people and opportunities available are unlike anywhere else in the world. I t is this uniquely positive attitude that often keeps international students from being deterred b y the ofistacles that often come up while working toward a degree in a foreign country. Danielle McMartin, who has been the international advisor for CSUSM's Global Affairs Office for two and h alf years, is all too familiar with the problems that an international student will inevitably face. Me Martin has been working in the field o f student affairs for a total o f 15 years. Tuesday, February 1 8,2003 5 a • I She remarked that like American students, international students face the same worries o f getting all o f their classes, achieving good grades, and graduating as quickly as possible. However, she also notes the differences that set international students in a league o f their own. Since the events o f 9/11, rules and regulations have become even more strict. The I.N.S. now operates a computer-based system called SEVIS, which requires educational institutions to report the status o f all o f their foreign students. Additionally, the I.N.S. implemented tighter restrictions "There is a lot o f family pressure on on foreign students studying within the international students," said Me Martin.

For most international students, a major challenge can be to live within the rules and regulations set forth by the I.N.S. Most intematioJ_?.al students in the U.S. are permitted to study and live here, based on the fact that they obtain an F-1 Visa. This visa requires that students must keep a full time status at their school, which is 12 units or more, complete their course o f study i n a given amount o f time, and at no time work off o f the school campus. As San Marcos grows, the Global Affairs department and the international student population will also grow. When asked what some o f the hopes and goals were for the International Program at CSUSM, McMartin responded, "We are always hoping for more international students, and now that we have th<: ,housing, somewhere down the line l would like t o see a n International Center, a place that international students could call their own."

Is There Liberal Bias At Cal State San Marcos? By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride StaffWriter says, "Liberal bias on campus has always been a problem. Liberal bias blurs the values and morals that our parents taught us as they raised us. Liberal bias descends under the guise o f 'tolerance' for all, except those who disagree with it. Instead o f being givep. an education, we are indoctrinated. CSUSM senior communication major, Anna Hall, expressed a similar sentiment stating, " The problem [with] liberal bias is that no one sees the conservative side o f things, only the liberal." In the past weeks, parents and students alike have leveled charges o f liberal bias at UCSD and some o f its faculty members. These charges include the claim that UCSD is indoctrinating the students with a liberal ideology, and telling them what to think, act, and feel about certain legislation. Closer to home, investigation into the subject o f liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos has uncovered a predictable difference in opinSome students say they have ion, with some students claiming they are told what to think, while never experienced liberal bias in the classroom, but still feel that it others see no bias at all. exists. Jennifer Cox, a business Liberal bias has been defined major, was asked i f she has peras a position that leans toward sonally experienced liberal bias those who favor greater freedoms on campus.

Some feel that biased President o f the College Repub- professors prohibit free thought. licans at CSUSM Sean Mattingly Mattingly asked, "[why are we] fooling students into thinking that in order to be a 'free thinker' that they must be indoctrinated by liberalism? One question though. .. what were students before they entered college? I mean, i f they are "free thinkers" only after they graduate college, what were they when they were not in college? Were they ''un-free thinkers?" How do I know that the professors have not graded me down simply because I don't agree with their 'free thought'?'~ I n a Jan. 21 San Diego Union Tribune article, UCSD student Brandon Woodward claimed that he has learned to reflect his professor's views after a paper he wrote against abortion, for a required ethics course, was picked apart b y his professor. Woodward claimed that he rewrote it with a pro-choice stance and received an A, and added, "With school and papers, you learn to write what the teachers want to hear." There are 9ther students who disagree with this position. CSUSM Sociology m~jor Drew members o f its faculty, students, and staff in both curricular and cocurricular activities." Niedenthal, a member o f the Progressive Activist Network said, "There is a lack o f interest in the liberal position and a leaning toward the conservative." Sociology major Kunta Jones agreed and stated that it was " a contradictory question, [considering] that we call ourselves a 'democratic' society." While many students believe that liberal bias on college campuses is a threat to their academic freedom, one o f the core values found in the CSUSM catalogue is academic freedom. Professors and students alike are entitled to full freedom in their research, but professors have to give an acceptable performance in the classroom, according to university standards. CSUSM believes that, "education depends upon the free expression and exchange o f ideas in the search for truth. Academic freedom is the freedom to express any view, popular or unpopular, and to defend that point o f view in open exchange. The university supports freedom o f speech, in~ ru;td ~x~~~si?D f or ·.all . .. . ~ The question o f liberal bias has professors apprehensive about answering the question o f liberal bias. Communication professor Michael Huspek commented, "The question 'is there liberal bias on campus at CSU San Marcos?' itself was biased and what should be asked is, 'What counts as academic freedom?"' Arts and Sciences professor David Avalos gave a similar response by stressing the importance o f academic freedom. Avalos said, "Academic freedom is dependent upon free speech and its free exposition and is not limited to any personal agenda." Mark Appelbaum, a professor at UCSD, explained his position by saying he wanted to "make sure students understand that faculty members have opinions. The fine line between fact and opinion is not always clear." .. •.;...• I • • • + 1o &. t. �ARTS 6 Tuesday, February 1 8,2003 THE P RIDE Glassner's a reporter from the St. Petersburg Times.

Glassner proposes that Americans, unable to face up to German aggression and anti-Semitism, Japanese imperialism and domestic economic -problems, projected these fears onto anonymous alien invaders. Likewise, Glassner believes that modern Americans, seemingly unable to resolve issues such as child poverty, inadequate healthcare, unsafe conditions for workers, flagrant disparities i n income between rich and poor, and a myriad o f o ther real problems, project their fears onto murdering pre-teens, sadistic co-workers, dangerous minorities and other chimeras. This sublimation and projection o f real fears is not harmless. As a result o f focusing on specters, the aforementioned real problems go largely unaddressed. People die from preventable and treatable illnesses, children are raised in squalor, and young men with the wrong skin color languish in prison. The tragic events o f9/ll perhaps make Glassner's book even more apropos. As horrible as 9/11 was, the fact is ten times as many people are killed every year i n automobile accidents, and calls for more racial profiling and fewer restrictions o n government law enforcement agencies with a n esta~lished h istory o f indifference to civil liberties gives one pause.

Photos by Diana Cabuto and M ilton R odriguez. By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer From traditional Korean dance to modem to ballet, 40 dancers, both male and female o f the Korean National University o f A rts (KNUA), demonstrated to be an appropriate opener for the new theatre at the Arts Building o f Cal State San Marcos on Wednesday Feb. 12 at 6 p.m. Beginning with a Korean scarf dance, Salpuri, (free from "sal") which literally means to free one from all calamitous events like death and illnesses. The performers captured the audience's attention with a peaceful traditional Korean Dance with delicate hand and feet movements - an introduction to more and more delightful surprises that were about to come. The second piece on the program was La Esmeralda, a ballet based on a novel written by Victor Hugo in 1831, and directed for KNUA by Kim Hae Shik. The third piece, called What's going on? is a modem dance piece choreographed by Joun Mi Sook. This piece was described as an interpretation o f "love, wrath, envy, pleasure and hatred" where all these emotions are "vanishing in vain." Starting with an empty stage and one man trying to stand still with dozens o f baseballs, the setting turned into a platform o f passing, rolling and biting between men, women, and the baseballs. The KNUA describes this piece as, "There is unknown tension. There is an unknown festival; about the height, about the depth, about the breadth." ballerinas presented five solo pieces from the total o f 14 ballet dancers and showed the audience their personal talent. The students o f KNUA performed not only that night for the school, but they had also visited one o f the dance classes offered at school in the morning. They shared some o f their personal experiences, as well as some basic movements they practice every day. The class had the opportunity to interact more closely with the dancers, and not just as dancers but also as students. The class shared their talents with the students o f the KNUA, as well as their enthusiasm and interest for a Ballet dancers came back to the possible minor in dance here at stage to show a different ballet Cal State San Marcos. piece called Paquita, a ballet in " I enjoyed coming to Cal State two acts, which tells the story o f a child rescued by gypsies, and San Marcos.

They also received a silver medal at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition, and third place at a New York Competition. When questioned about why he had decided to bring the KNUA to Cal State San Marcos, he responded, " I know Mr. Gonzalez for years, and I see he is working hard for this school as a wonderful president. He invited me here, which I happily accepted." "These are the most talented young dancers in South Korea, who come to KNUA to train for a professional career, and I wanted to share their talents. I would have loved the entire school to see our performance, I hope we are coming back next year, but I Students in the KNUA have will tell Mr. Gonzalez to build a been successful throughout the bigger theatre," Sejum Kim added world.

W hat t he F **k a1-e y ou d oin P epsi?: B y GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer W elcome t o A tlanta Simmons and the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network urged the community to join the "Campaign for Respect" to cliallenge the unfair cultural disrespect on Ludacris and the Hip-Hop community as a whole. The boycott was to begin February 12 and would continue until three specific demands had been met: that Pepsi issues an apology to Ludacris and to the hip-hop culture, that the soda company donates 5 million to the Ludacris Foundation, a non-profit organization, .and that the commercial be reinstated. One day before the beginning o f the boycott Pepsi announced that they would donate five million dollars to Ludacris's non-profit organization. Pepsi is currently looking into meeting the rest o f their demands. On Wed. February 61h Hip-Hop mogul Russell Simmons was steaming mad after Pepsi's most recent ad which featured "The Fowl Mouth Family o f Darkness." The outspoken conservative Bill O'Reilly caused uproar over Pepsi's partnering with Atlanta's hip-hop Superstar Ludacris. O'Reilly blasted Pepsi for doing business with what he calls, " a thug rapper who espouses violence, intoxication and degrading conduct toward women." No more than twenty-four hours later Pepsi announced that Ludacris would be dropped from the ad as a spokesperson and apologized to anyone who was offended by the company's association· with him. Despite Pepsi's research findings that teens connected with the rap Superstar as much as any other celebrity that had been associated with Pepsi in the past, the With rap on the lips o f almost every teenad was still shelved. ager today, it is understandable how this children who cannot even make it past ' the eleventh grade, and a father whose speech is arguably by some considered English.

Raper, Ludacris. Courtesy photo incident had caused animosity in the HipHop community. It makes you wonder that Ludacris's fowl lyrics was Pepsi's motivation for dropping him. Pepsi endorses the Osborne family who seemingly can't say a sentence without using a four letter word, I t almost makes you wonder what Pepsi is thinking? d r are they purposely trying to shoot themselves in the foot? There is porn, a father who will be infamous for biting a bat's head off, a family who puts the " D" in dysfunctional, and a rapper, like so many other chart-topping entertainers, with questionable lyrics.

God thwarted their plans by confounding their language: that is, He gave them different languages, so they would not understand each other. No common language, no clear communication, no understanding- no tower. According to Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.), Michigan offers its driving test i n 2 0 different languages; and there are dozens o f languages spoken i n t he Chicago school system. Immigrants are flooding into the U.S., seeking a better life, asylum from political turmoil, a place to hide, or frighteningly, i n some cases, a p lace from which to base terrorist activities.

But when the kids come she caught up to her classmates i n a s hort time. I f English is spoken consistently at home and at school, the entire family will benefit. This is not to say that the original language should never b e spoken. O n t he contrary, I've spoken with people who are first generation Americans, and they remember clearly that their parents' native language was never spoken at home. The parents wanted to encourage assimilation, and often never spoke o f t he " Old Country." I t d oesn't have t o b e t hat way. I know a woman from Colombia who is married to a Native American. Their two-year-old is bi-lingual. He has a terrific head start i n o ur international country. Finally, a working knowledge o f English is imperative for new citizens to b e educated "consumers" o f o ur democratic way oflife. America is a representative government, and certainly the Kurds and French and Viet Namese are n ot represented well i f they can't understand what's going on. They have earned the right to vote by becoming citizens, and i n order to exercise that right thoughtfully and intelligently, they must be able to read for themselves about the issues and the candidates. It would b e fairly easy for them to b e misled by b ad translations, or unethical translators. O ne language unites. Good, clear communication doesn't deny diversity. Fluency doesn't mean acculturation, although that may be inevitable i n successive generations. Common language invites discussion and dissention. O ur c ountry was founded on the often-heated exchange o f ideas. I n o rder for new citizens to become active, responsible participants, we mush share a common language. To legislate for a legal common language is not to divide, but to unite. T he B achelorette: V Vhc:> I !S B y J ULIE MYRES Pride S taff Writer What 4o you. wa!ch o n Wednesday nights?

" The Bachelorette" is a followup show to " The Bachelor," <:;~tti.-.g which was created b y ABC. The show consists o f seven episodes viewed one episode every week, with a cast o f 25 males and one female, Trista (the bachelorette). During this time, there are many opportunities, activities, a nd special dates where the bachelorette gets the chance to get up close and personal with the bachelors. Then, at the end o f e ach episode, she picks a pre-determined number o f the bachelors to move onto the next round by offering them a rose as a token o f h er choice. I would never go o n national television and think that I would find someone that I would m arry after knowing them for a few weekS. The idea o f " The Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" was a novel idea that many thought of, but few dared to take love to this level until a year ago when the first season o f " The Bachelor" was aired.

I think I've found most o f them. My next project was to 5 nd a suitable place to study. First, I went to the Dome. The oppressive odor o f b urritos and cheese pizza was unavoidable because o f the food court, but at least I knew where to find the Dome, and I knew I could probably get a seat. Have you sat i n those chairs? The bistro-style may b e visually appealing, and they must have been cheap to buy i n large quantities, but they are a chiropractor's dream. Only supermodels and ten-year-olds could sit comfortably for any length o f time. The glare from the white walls and the strobe effect o f t he fluorescent overhead lighting gave me a headache. After giving it the old college t ry for over an hour, I gave up and took o ff i n search o f more comfortable digs. I have a Tuesday morning class and a Tuesday evening class, so being the high-intensity overachiever I am, I decided to stay on campus for the almost five hours i n b etween classes. M y p lan was t o do homework and catch up on reading for other classes, both o f M y next stop was the library. which require comfortable chairs. I hauled my bag down the stairs, which I paid for later i n shoul- der and back pain, and looked for a place to sit. There were a few chairs at a rectangular table and several computer stations. I settled at a computer and tended to some on-line work. I was done in a short while and had no interest i n monopolizing a computer to s urf or check e-mail. I could have tried to navigate the stairs, but with the load o f books I pull behind me, I couldn't have made it. Besides, I didn't want to explain to the student at the desk why I needed the special card to access the handicap elevator. So, I moved on. I saw the signs last semester for the Associated Students, Inc. lounge, so I stepped inside. I pushed through the choking stench from the microwaved Hot Pockets to explore. The furniture looked ratty and not clean, but my Bachelorette" show to b e entertained? A nd the real question on everyone's mind, " Who is going to get the rose, Ryan o r C harlie?" Out o f all the reality television relationship shows, " The Bachelorette" and " The Bachelor" s eem to b e the most entertaining. I guess the show is harmless as long as it is not my heart that is being toyed with. Still, a fter watching " The Bachelor" and " The Bachelorette," I prefer to stay on this side o f the television screen. Even i f I d on't have 25 guys to pick from, I know I will meet Mr. Right when the time comes, j ust like everyone else. " The Bachelorette" final episode airs this Wednesday night on ABC at 8 :00p.m. Da1~11~1it! screaming back was begging me to sit down. I t was a small room with lots o f h andmade posters on the walls and a sign on the pool table indicating it was out o f order. There are no moving parts o n a pool table, so how it could be out o f order? However, since I was looking for a seat and not a game, I moved on. I went to chat with one o f m y professors and found the chair in her small office the most comfortable by far. O f course, she was happy to talk with me, but she had things to do and I couldn't stay forever. Has Starbucks co-opted attractive lounge areas fragrant with the heady, energizing scent o f freshly brewed coffee? Was white paint on sale the day CSU decided to paint? I f CSUSM has provided a comfQrtable, clean, attractive place for students to congregate and study and relax, please let me know. Who wants to give up their hard-won parking place to go down to Starbucks? With all the brand-sharing going on i n the world, I 'm surprised the University didn't make some arrangement with an outside entity to provide the students with a comfortable common area in exchange for some discreetly placed advertising. I f the Administration wants students in a commuter school to hang out and become more o f a community, i f they want us to join clubs and get involved i n student activities and ASI, it is incumbent upon them to provide us with clean comfortable areas to congregate. �___ ;....:., __ '- - --- - -··-- -· --- . - -..- ---- - .- - - -- -· ·- - ~ - - OPINION THE PRIDE Tuesday, February 18, 2003 11 Discrepancy in Treatment of Two ASI Representatives is Challenged By HONEE J. FOLK Pride StaffWriter I f memory serves me correctly, within the pages o f The Pride, there were several extremely critical opinion submissions from ASI president, Jocelyn Brown, explaining the importance and necessity o f attending all required ASI retreats. Her submission outlined in detail the weight attached to such retreats and described an elected representatives' lackofattendance as negligent and detrimental to the entire student body. Her letters were in response to an opinion piece from fellow student Steve Compian, who directed frustrations at the ASI board for denying Shannon Tweed the opportunity to carry out her duties as the elected College o f Arts and Sciences Representative. Shannon missed the weeklong summer retreat due to the death o f a close relative and had to attend to her family responsibilities.

The United States will be going to war with Iraq, against the wishes o f the U N and o f millions o f American people. An unprecedented peace movement is beginning, one which is mobilizing before the war even starts. This is a little heartening to me. The protests aren't going to do anything, and the protestors have to know it. But, people are still trying to make their voices heard. That's one good thing that might come o f it, a return to dissent and the refusal to just go along with public policy. The government is likely asking itself why such a peace movement is starting. The war isn't going to be fought here. No occupying army will march through our streets. Our system o f government and way o f life won't b e changed when it's over. O ur cities won't be bombed - at least not by the Iraqi government, though terrorist actions will almost certainly increase as a result o f this war and the increased American presence in the Middle East. There will likely not be a military draft, and there won't even be any new taxes to help pay for this war. At least not right away. The Bush administration seems to be going out o f its way to make sure that we won't have to unduly suffer for a war our country will be involved in. This seems to be as much to build support as anything else, but the war still has no support. destroyed, whose country will be razed, who will be left orphaned, I've been trying to ignore the widowed, homeless and without ~ upcoming war, because I knew I country by the political games o f would end up writing something their leaders. like this and risk alienating myself from people, some close How many future doctors, to me, who believe war is the teachers, engineers, diplomats answer.

This is not an anti-American be dispossessed by our bombs or pro-Iraq screed. They just and armies.

I mourn That's why it's not easy for most for those whose lives will be o f us to imagine it. We tend to People are still opposed to it. think o f every Arab as a jihad crazed fanatic, eager for a chance to kill Americans. They can't be; anymore than every American is a fat, complacent cowboy. They have families, homes, a way o f life that will b e t om apart by this war. And i f you can't have any sympathy for the losses they are soon to endure, at least fear the retribution they and their allies will harbor towards us. They say that Iraq will be rebuilt, much the way that Germany and Japan were after World War II. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel that the puppet government that will b e controlled by the oil hungry Americans will be seen by the rest o f the world as neo-colonialism, not democracy. Military enforced democracy is not democracy. Again, this doesn't have to be about Iraq. I would feel this way were we at war with North Korea or Afghanistan. I wonder how the people i n Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and Kosovo managed to pick up and start over after the damage done to them. I feel for the wrecked landscape o f India and Pakistan as they fight each other, for the Russians and the Chechnians. And I feel sorrow for the American families that have and will suffer losses, in this war and in others. This is really about all the wars that have been fought before and those that peace movements will fail to stop in the future. The thing I hate about warfare is the way that it disrupts ordinary life. We - all o f us, not just Americans - deserve a chance to live in our homelands free o f the destruction that war brings. Do innocents in so-called enemy countries have to be victims to our political games? I want to end this with a quote I first read in high school, that seemed then and now to sum up my feelings on war. The words are from the peace activist Reverend Harry Emerson, from 1937, and they didn't stop the coming second world war. " I renounce war for its consequences, for the lies it lives on and propagates, for the undying hatred it arouses, for ' the dictatorships it puts in place o f democracy, for the starvation that stalks after it. There are things worse than war, and war brings all o fthem." E am $ 1,000 • A ,OOO for y our S tudent Group in just 3 hours! College fundra1smg made S imple, S afe and F ree .

Dear Editors: My heart goes out to the families and friends o f those lost in the Columbia tragedy. The PLS publishes student w ntmg from all academic disciplines pursued at CSUSM and gives students a chance to publish critical and theoretical writing, creative writing, as well as a wide variety o f visual art. I n reading the February I I th edition o f The Pride, I was disappointed by a letter written in regards to the dangers o f the Space Shuttle program. My response to his question is: YES, I T IS WORTH IT! The author does not seem to understand the adventurous spirit behind exploration. The astronauts knew the risks and accepted them. I nstructions/ Submission G uidelines The PLS considers manuscripts o f up to 3 000 words that exemplify both excellent inquiry and research i n t heir discipline(s) and that enable readers from outside that discipline to read with pleasure and understanding. Authors should avoid highly technical language, critical jargon, foreign, or mathematical language. When technical terms are essential, they should b e explained to the reader. References to critical literature, where necessary, should b e parenthetical. APA, MLA, Chicago, and all other formats are welcome as long as the paper represents the appropriate academic discipline. I f we travel back through time, we find many explorers who took enormous risks such as Columbus and Lewis & Clark and many others. Where would we be as a world society i f mankind did not explore? Every person on this earth explores in their own way, it may be through school, it may be on trekking through Europe, and it may be taking a journey into space, whatever the voyage is, it is worth every bit o f the expenditure i f i t is for the right reasons. Granted no loss o f life is acceptable, but w e also cannot hide in our homes because something might happen to us as we walk down the street let alone to our car or any other means o f transportation we might be using. Taking risks is an integral part ofliving, and unfortunately so is dying. We have to LIVE while we have the opportunity!

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos has its own police department, which patrols the campus and has concurrent jurisdiction with the San Marcos Police Department within a one-mile perimeter around the campus. Their patrolling services are 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and have been in the service of CSUSM for approximately 10 years. For more information about financial aid and scholarships that are available through CSUSM, visit their web site at http://www.csusm.edu/finaid. Application forms are available in the Financial Aid and Scholarship Office. You may also request information by calling (760) 750-4850, or by e-mail at finaid@csusm.edu. However, many CSUSM students do not know about the existence of this department. Such is the case of Miranda Romero.

The CSUSM women's golf team opened their spring season by finishing in 12th place with a score of 670 (334-336) in the Lady Aztec Spring Invitational, hosted by San Diego State University. The two-day tournament, which started on February 17,2003 at the Lake San Marcos Country Club, consisted of 15 teams competing on the on the 5, 885 yard par 72 course. On the final day, Seguro moved up from the first round to finish in 39th with a second round total of 164 (85-79). Thys finished 50th with a score of 167 (83-84), Shaft shot 169 (84-85) to finish 55th, while Goss placed 63rd with 172 (84-88), and Tunzi shot 176 (83-93) to finish 72nd. This particular tournament was held in a "shotgun" format. Instead of having different tee times to begin their game, these golfers were assigned different holes to start at, enabling the competing teams to begin swinging simultaneously at the signal of an actual shotgun. After the opening day of the tournament, the lady Cougar golfers placed 13th with junior Erin Thys leading the way with a score of 83 a (43-40), senior Jennifer Tunzi equaled her teammate's score of 83 (41-42). Creeping close-behind was sophomore Stephanie Goss who shot 84 (42-42) along with senior Robin Shaft's 84 (41-43). Merely two strokes behind her was junior Stephanie Seguro, who shot a score of 85 (43-42). When commenting on the challenges of the course, Seguro explained, "Lake San Marcos [Country Club] is a very difficult course in many ways. The greens for the tournament were very unforgiving and the pin placements were very difficult, as for the overall conditions it was very wet and mushy out there due to the rain, so many times the girls and I had to get relief from wet muddy places." She explained that in order to find relief, "you have to find the nearest point where you can drop your ball in a dry area that is no closer to the hole. You have to make sure with your group whether it is an okay spot. Also, you can use the rule called Photo by M ary S chiefelbein / The When asked how he felt about how the team did in the Aztec Invite, head coach Fred Hanover commented, "The team did okay but each of the 5 who played is capable of doing great things on the golf course." When inquiring about requirements for the team to make Nationals, Hanover explained that our women's golf needs to be in the top 25 in golf stat rankings in order to qualify for Nationals. Though it was University of Kansas who placed first on the first day of the tournament, Texas Tech pulled ahead with a top team score of 609 (307-302) pushing University of Kansas to second place with a finishing of 613 (304-302). In third place was a two-way tie between host SDSU finishing at 620 (305-315) and Cal State Northridge shooting 620 (310-310). Finishing in fifth was Colorado State University with 622 (311-311). Thys commented on her goals for season. "My personal goals for the season are to attend every tournament. I am focused on keeping my game as steady as it has been and was at the Aztec Invite...looking at what I would like to see happen for the team, I know we can place in the top three at nationals in Florida, and I want us all to focus on that. We have a strong team, as well as two great girls who are about to graduate, and who I know would love to see us go out with a huge boom." The next tournament for the women's golf team will be a two-day event hosted by Cal State San Marcos at the San Luis Rey Downs Golf Club through March 3rd and 4th.

Scheduled to be completed by the end of this summer, the facility is the brainchild of ASI, along with many other intimate partners. According to the campus website, its purpose is to serve "as the center of the campus community, by developing and maintaining facilities which enhance the quality of campus life, and [by supporting] the educational mission of the University through social, recreational, cultural and educational programs." It will also be the base camp for the future physical education program. Conception of Gordon's achievements in the past," Helene donated what would be the largest single donation from a living person in CSUSM's, at that point, 10-year history, totaling $1.2 million. "Athletics was Gordon's life in so many ways," Helene reminisced in an interview with Coast News, "The field house is a fine way to honor him and to help so many young adults." In addition to the $1.2 million donation, Helene's endowment was instrumental in obtaining a matching grant from the Kresge Foundation. With just under a third of the estimated $7.1 million cost accounted for, CSUSM students voted in October 1998 to increase student union fees for full-time and part-time students to $50 each semester, in order to raise additional support for the field house. The plan is to raise approximately $4.7 million over the next four to five years. The rest of the money has come from private donations, approximately $2.5 million at last count, according to Arlene Ruiz, assistant to the vice president of External Affairs. Above: The scaffold encased field house structure steadily marches towards completion. Right: Computer generated architectural models show what thefinishedfieldhouse will look like. Courtesy images. Although the creation of the field house included the input of many, the deceased Mr. and Mrs. Helene Clarke provided most of the financial backing for the project. Clarke's husband Gordon, who died in 1968, had the opportunity to pursue a professional baseball career after an extremely successful college stint at the University of Oklahoma. Instead, Mr. Clarke took an executive position with the Hughes Tool Co., based in Dallas, Texas, but he never lost his love and enthusiasm for sports. After her husband's death, Mrs. Clarke came to live in Oceanside, where she lived independently until she was disabled by an injury and a bout with cancer that would prove fatal on Dec. 4,2000. 900-person capacity, however, is not set in stone.

De izquierda a d erecha, S in Fin, el Papa Felipe y J uana S ánchez a ctuando en Nuevo C alifornia. F otografía d e R andy R ovang. Por MARTHA SARABIA Editora Principal Pocas son las personas que se imaginan las ciudades de San Diego y Tijuana juntas, unidas formando una sola ciudad, sin una cerca metálica ni diferencias ideológicas dividiéndolas. Sin embargo, la imaginación del colombiano Bernardo Solano y de Alian Havis es tan futurística y progresista que este sueño se convierte en una realidad en Nuevo California. Esta obra dirigida por Sam Woodhouse, se sitúa en el año de 2008 en el cual un gran terremoto destruye la ciudad de Los Ángeles y las ciudades fronterizas de San Diego y Tijuana pronto serán unidas. No obstante, la obra demuestra que más que una cerca inquebrantable separando estas dos ciudades, existen muchos prejuicios entre unos y otros. Estos mismos prejuicios y estereotipos son los que no permiten que los habitantes se den cuenta que entre los dos países hay más similitudes que diferencias. Vega, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Steve Lipinsky, Catalina Maynard, Gino Montesinos, Raquel Presa y Sylvia M'lafi Thompson son los actores que conforman esta obra. Este grupo actoral de San Diego y Tijuana representa la gran variedad y diversidad de las comunidades que viven en esta región fronteriza donde no solamente hay mexicanos y norteamericanos sino también asiáticos, afroamericanos e indios americanos añadiéndole así una realidad muy esencial a la historia. Algunos de los personajes en la obra dramática musical son Sin Fin, la cual habla un idioma futurístico donde el spanglish y la rima son elementos importantes, el Papa Felipe que trata de unir a las dos ciudades, y a Juana Sánchez que al igual que Maggie Flackett se niega a acabar con los prejuicios contra los americanos y mexicanos respectivamente. Para la realización de esta gran e interesante obra, hubo una investigación de tres años Dora Arreóla, John Campion, donde se les preguntó a alredJennifer Chu, Fernando Flores edor de 200 personas de ambos Sociopolitical Indoctrination In the Classroom?

Los entrevistados incluyeron políticos, periodistas, amas de casa, adolescentes y peatones entre otros más lo cual permitió que la producción no solamente tuviera una variedad de opiniones sino que también una perspectiva más representativa. Nuevo California, actuado mayormente en inglés pero con algunas palabras en español y spanglish, se estará presentando hasta el 3 de marzo en el Lyceum Theatre del San Diego Repertory Theatre. La obra además de ser interesante posee un gran despliegue de talento y expone temas que muy pocos se han atrevido a explorar como lo es el derrumbe del cerco fronterizo y el prejuicio entre los dos países.

By ERIK ROPER Pride Staff Writer Last Monday, February 17, at 7pm in ARTS 240, Cal State San Marcos community members came to hear Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton and her biographer, Joan Lester, speak about the life and times of Norton. Their visit to Cal State San Marcos was scheduled as part of a multi-campus tour throughout the US. The tour is meant to promote the recently completed biography by Lester of Norton's life and times, Fire In My Soul The book came out about a month ago and is already in its second printing. Unfortunately, due to an historic blizzard that was swirling about the east coast at that time last week, Norton was not able to attend since all flights in her area had been grounded. As ASI President Jocelyn Brown welcomed those in attendance and gave them the standard, "We've got good news and bad news..." line, an audible sigh could be heard from the crowd of approximately fifty people. But even the bad news was not as bad as it could have been, because shortly after Brown's introductory remarks, audience members were treated to the disembodied voice of Norton piped in via speaker phone. Norton apologized profusely for not being able to attend, adding that, "I've been snowed out of California - and the loss is all mine." Fortunately though, her biographer, Lester, was able to attend and speak very eloquently about the extraordinary life of Norton. Lester began her remarks by speaking about how she had known Norton for many years and that when shefirstdecided to write a biography about a strong and accomplished woman Norton was not the first woman who came to mind. But one day while lunching together in DC, Lester floated the idea of writing Norton's biography and Norton instantly liked the idea. Lester said Norton told her, "Girl, come on down to Washington and let's get to work!" So approximately four years ago Lester started working with iNorton, ".. .one chapter at a time." She described the former civil rights activist and currently tenured law professor at Georgetown University as a challenging subject, "in a number of ways. She's very argumentative, which is quintessential Eleanor. She's so quick, so fast, so forthright and her mind is so broad. When working with her I often felt like my mind was still stuck in the sixties - she brought me into the twentyfirst century."

By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer Since the end of WWII, one of the most consister^ and generous benefactors of international drug traffickers has been the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Beginning with the defeat of the Nationalist Chinese by Mao Tse Tung's communists' in 1949, trade in opium and heroin played a major role in financing the CIA's efforts to fight the menace of communism. Nationalist forces driven out of southern China into northern Burma in 1949 sought to regroup and rearm for an invasion of the now communist controlled China. These nationalist forces were trained, and their subsequent incursion into communist China was largely planned by the CIA. Nationalist forces financed the operation almost entirely through the cultivation and sale of opium that was in turn refined into heroin for sale in the United States and other western nations. Nationalist forces invaded China from their Burmese sanctuaries in 1952 and were defeated and repelled by the communists. In 1961, military operations by the Burmese army and Chinese communists largely eliminated the Nationalists forces in northern Burma as a viablefightingforce; however, the opium syndicate established by the nationalist mercenaries remains to this day. Prior to 1949, northern Burma and Thailand produced very little opium. Today, thanks in great part to the activities of the CIA, this area is the largest opiumproducing region in the world. In Burma the CIA was ^largely guilty of a sin of omission. They simply turned a blind eye to the activities of their nationalist allies. Later, In Laos, the CIA participated in the narcotics trade in a more direct and deliberate fashion. Like Burma, prior to the end of WWII, Laos produced little opium. Beginning in the 1950s the CIA began to récruit Hmong tribesman, a Laotian ethnic subgroup, to fight against the communist Pathet Lao and North Vietnamese. The Hmong had long grown opium for local drug traffickers and with the CIA's encouragement they began growing it in ever-larger quantities in order to subsidize an increasingly bloody war against the communists. In this case, CIA aircraft actually transported raw opium from rural mountain areas in northern Laos to heroin labs in Laotian cities. The resultant heroin found its way onto American streets and to American servicemen in Vietnam. The CIA was not directly involved in moving the processed heroin, but they were well aware of where it was going. In fact, South Vietnamese vice-president Nguyen Cao Ky was personally involved in importing heroin from Laos to South Vietnam. These are not thé paranoid assertions of a disturbed conspiracy theorist. Historian Alfred McCoy meticulously documented all of these facts in his book "The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia." A corporate lawyer at the publishing firm Harper & Row called upon McCoy to justify every sentence in his book. The CIA actually obtained a copy and tried to have certain passages expurgated. In the aftermath of 9/11/01 many have called for an easing of restrictions on the CIA's conduct in order increase the intelligence agencies' effectiveness in combating international terrorism. These calls come in spite of the fact that the CIA in its unrestricted cold war incarnation played a major role in furthering international drug traffic while largely failing to stop communism in Southeast Asia. One is led to uneasy speculation as to what will be the nature of the next plague this "intelligence" agency will visit upon us during an unrestricted war on international terrorism. �About CSUSM Disabled Parking Dear Editors: I am both a disabled person (registered with the Disabled Students Office) and a Disabled Veteran (60% service connected disabilities). Per V.C. 22511.5, using my placard properly displayed and my student parking permit properly displayed, I am allowed to park, pursuant to the California public policy stated in VC 22511.5(a)(1), et seq., in any zone restricted for time or otherwise restricted per 21458(a)(5) or 22507 and any zone restricted by local ordinance. VC 21113 allows California State University (i.e., the Board of Regents, not local San Marcos parking authority) to enact regulations to establish rules regarding parking. However, the law of this state does NOT allow CSU to FURTHER restrict the parking rights of disabled persons and veterans. In fact, California public policy specifically states that disabled parking MUST be provided in locations NEAREST entrances and exits. When I started this semester, CSU placed 5 green signs in 5 otherwise unmarked parking slots just south of the dome and the signs state CSUSM, Special Medical Permit SOLE Vehicle Code section that specifically allows CSU (Board of Regents - not local Required. parking service employees or administration) The signs DO NOT state the spaces are to further restrict parking applies to skatereserved for CSUSM employees or faculty. boarding, cycles, etc. The ONLY Special Medical Permit permitted Case law has confirmed that persons recognition by State law is the disabled perwith a valid disabled persons placard MAY sons and disabled veterans disabled placard.

In fact, the Response to anti-war article Mr. (Gabriel) Martin: I gotta hand it to you, your article really tugged on my heartstrings. It's just to bad your position is based on little more than emotions and naivety, rather than logic and fact. The reality of the coming war is simple: Saddam has left us no other option but to use force. And it amazes me that so many people like you (in the ostrich brigade), continue to have your heads in the sand. Since the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein has broken every treaty, UN resolu- tion, and term of surrender that he agreed to. He's also tried to shoot down and KILL our pilots who patrol the no-fly zones over 700 times. In addition, he has-at some point-used every weapon in his arsenal including chemical weapons. In Bush's last speech, he listed a number of chemical and biological weapons he has yet to get rid of. We also know that he has brought in scientists to build nuclear warheads, which he would love to use against our allies, or us, or sell them to a terrorist group that would C LASSIFIEDS TUTOR/TEACHER (MA98) Specializing in tutoring ESL students in advanced language skills, vocabulary, research, reports, projects, presentations, test prep, etc. Free consultation.

And it would only be a matter of time before he did get nukes if people like you were in charge, who would probably try to play the appeasement/ negotiation game (which NEVER works with lawless dictators). You have got to realize that there are evil people in this world who only listen to one thing: The language of force. Do you think the British would have just got up and left back in 1776 without being forced out? Did Hitler listen to peace talks Mr. Martin? Do you really think 100 UN weapons inspectors in a country the size of California are enough disarm this guy? That is ridiculous! You also wasted a lot of paper spilling your guts about how much pity you feel for all the innocent people who may die. Well guess what; I can tell as a former US Army soldier that we go out of our way — more than any other country on Earth-to avoid killing innocent people. The reason people do get killed is because our third-world enemies usually hide among civilians and use them as shields, hoping we won't come after them. In addition, a lot more innocent people are will die as a result of Saddam's quest for nukes if we don't get rid of him. Listen, nobody likes war. Not even the toughest Army Rangers and Navy Seals enjoy getting shot at. But sometimes you do have to fight for peace in order to protect your way of life, and that is a reality you need to realize. So when the removal of Saddam begins, are you going to support our troops like the many Americans that rallied behind our sailors and Marines last Weekend? I hope you and every anti-war protester will think about this: the cost of freedom. Guess what, freedom is not free. If you doubt that, go ask a WW2 veteran. Freedom has a price Mr. Martin. It costs a lot more than your bleeding heart is willing to realize. Brian Dobbins Senior, Communication R esponse t o c omment o n " State o f t he C ampus A d d r e s s " I would like to respond to Robert Williams' comments in the article dated 2/11/03 "State of the Campus Address." In this article he states! "this semester there is ample parking, even during the busiest times." I was incredulous when I read this. Obviously, Mr. Williams hasn't spent hours driving around the various parking lots looking for a parking place. Nor, has he been 'stalked' by students wanting a parking space. I applauded the curb-parking put in place last semester, and although there was a "tight crunch" for parking last semester, it appears just as bad, if not worse this semester! Williams? Although I don't agree with increased parking fees I do understand the need. But, I do feel as though I've been slapped in the face when the parking fees have increased dramatically, yet finding parking when you need it is very dismal. Personally, I had planned on arriving to school this semester in time for my 11: 30 a.m. classes. I have had to rearrange my schedule to arrive at school by 8:30 a.m. in order to obtain a parking space without having to drive around forever! Please tell me where this "ample" parking is, especially during the busiest hours. Thank you, So what risks outweigh the Louise J. Tweed benefits for curb parking Mr. Junior, Liberal Studies Response: Is There Liberal Bias at Cal State San Marcos? Regarding, Jamal Scarlett's Feb.18 article, I find it amusing how anyone would question liberal bias from an educational perspective when conservative ideologies have been constantly shoved down our throats from the time of infancy. In order for this society to succeed with its capitalistic, elite way of thought, the conservatives would like to have America believe their standards, including correct "moral" thinking, religious beliefs and systems of oppression, should be mainstream thought. In a time where inequalities are more prevalent than ever, to cry conservative is to condone suppression, stray from an egalitarian model and keep society at status quo. Sean Mattingly asks, "(why are we) fooling students into thinking that in order to be a 'free thinker' that they must be indoctrinated by liberalism?" The answer is that we're not. By providing students with the opportunity to explore creatively and utilize what C. Wright Mills called a "sociological imagination," educational institutions are simply suggesting that society explore other ways of thinking. Liberalism implies that we do not have to conform to conservative ways of thought and potentially risk appearing as mechanical, docile, assembly line like robots. We do not have to accept everything the media feeds us at face value or submit to authoritarian hierarchies. Furthermore, if the push for liberalism is becoming an issue through so-called "indoctrination" via faculty then I applaud their misconstrued achievements at "brain-washing" conservatives into more liberal ways of thinking. Obviously, advocating progressive reformation is not biased, only the deconstruction of the biased realities that already exist within our society.

North answered the question, "Why are some nations wealthier than others?" as part of the CSUSM Arts & Lecture Series. According to the official website of the Nobel Foundation, in 1993, North and fellow Economist Robert W. Fogle were co-recipients for the Nobel Prize. They won it "for having renewed research in economic history by applying economic theory and quantitative methods in order to explain economic and institutional change." Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, North was accepted to go to Harvard but opted to attend the University of California at Berkeley because his family had moved to San Francisco. In his college years he was actively involved in student liberal activities and was opposed to US involvement in World War II, until Hitler invaded the communist Soviet Union. His acceptance of Marxism in his college years helped North to build the argument about the importance of legal institutions, but he saw flaws in the ideology itself. Ideologies and belief systems can significantly slow down economies, according to North. He also reasons that governments don't always think rationally, and that many times their way of thinking affects the decisions they make about economic policy. North compared an economy to a football game. For example, in a football game there are formal and informal rules and the referees serve as enforcers of these rules, said North.

Following the movie, Rolison, using data obtained from the website of the American Civil Liberties Union, gave a brief overview of the 2000 election, explaining that 14.4 percent of the votes that were rejected came from African American voters, while only 1.6 percent were nonBlack. Byron added that according to www.gregpalast.com, voting precincts in Black areas were lacking in high quality voting technology, while in many white communities the technology was available and untouched. Advanced voting equipment ranges from the form of the voting ballot itself to new machines that are used to interpret or read/count the votes. from lectures, the floor was opened to questions. There were many questions from students, ranging in topic from the voting procedures, African Americans, and the current political situation in America, particularly with the ensuing war in Iraq. Rolison and Byron, as well as PAN member Erik Roper, were happy to give their opinions. This event was a unique opportunity to have two campus clubs join together, and to inform CSUSM students about an important aspect of recent American history.

The reference to yelling and rowdiness is not an accidental interpolation. This is a quote from Nichole Jester, student leader for the IVCF, describing the fellowship's projected activities during their upcoming trip to Catalina. Jester took care to create an image of the IVCF and their mostly evangelical Christian members as friendly and outgoing and to deliberately smash the stereotype of Christians as dour and repressed zealots. to Jester, the IVCF is a vehicle through which Christians can socialize and support one another. IVCF student leader Darlene Rodriguez described the IVCF as a "place to be noticed," then went on to detail an informal grapevine that has grown up within the fellowship. "If a member has a problem, other members know and respond with help and encouragement". Rodriguez was* quick to distinguish this network from and ordinary gossip pipeline saying "members care about each other like a family." The concert will feature the wellknown Christian rock band Eso. The event is entitled "The Edge" and will also feature popular evangelist Ryan Pfeiffer and an unnamed opening act for Eso. During the upcoming spring break, the IVCF is sponsoring the aforementioned "rowdy" trip to Catalina. According to Jester and Rodriguez, the IVCF has their own private section of the island where they will stage, a week of activities centered on a study of the Gospel of Mark. Jester made it clear that the IVCF's activities are open to non-members and non-Christians. The IVCF wants to provide a drug and alcohol free environment in which all students can socialize. To the end of providing members with opportunities to socialize, the IVCF supports many activities. Last semester the fellowship sponsored a game night bonfire and a movie night, among other activities. On The upcoming Billy Graham March 7, the IVCF will sponsor crusade on May 8, 9, and 10 is Friendship and accessibility are recurrent themes within the a Christian music concert at another focus of the IVCF. The IVCF. At its core, according Calvary Chapel, San Marcos. IVCF is providing evangelism training for members in order to coincide with the event, as well as helping with event publicity and set-up. During the summer months some IVCF members will participate in mission trips that can take them to foreign nations such as China and Ethiopia. These mission trips also can include service in urban areas of the United States. Though theologically committed to Orthodox Pauline Christianity, the IVCF encourages anyone interested in the Bible and Christianity to attend their meetings and Bible studies. Jester welcomed members of other faiths to check out the IVCF. Both Jester and Rodriguez emphasized that the IVCF is an egalitarian organization where all members are encouraged to participate in leadership. The IVCF's membership contains both those who were raised in religious households and new converts. The group also cultivates ethnic and racial diversity. The IVCF fellowship meets on the Cal State San Marcos campus Mondays l-2pm, Tuesdays both 12-lpm and l-2pm. These meetings are held on the grass triangle between Craven Hall and University Hall on thefirstfloor. Wednesday meetings are held in University Hall 442 l-2pm. Meetings start with an informal social period, followed by a Bible study in which eveiyone present is encouraged to participate.

Red Cross Performs Emergency Services for Armed Forces By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The recent deployment of service personnel from San Diegobased military bases has resulted in the simultaneous mobilization of another service, the Armed Forces Emergency' " Services" (AFES) at the San Diego/Imperial Counties chapter of the American Red Cross. Life goes on at home for the families of service people - spouses, sons, daughters, and other relatives - while they are stationed ¡overseas or in parts of the United States remote from their families. Life at home sometimes involves emergencies such as births, deaths, and other medical and legal emergencies, when it is critical that a family member in the armed services be notified.

The apartments are scheduled to open their doors in September, when 460 resident students will be invited to transform a once small commuter college into a 24-hour campus community. "The campus community will change greatly as a result of having students on campus all day and all year/' stated the director of Student Residential Life (SRL), Bridget Blansnshan. The University Village staff is working in connection with SRL and other departments of CSUSM, such as The Dome and parking services, J n order to prepare for this transition. When completed, the new student-housing complex will consist of three apartment buildings. Each building will house approximately 52 students on each of its three floors. Students will have the choice to live in either a two or four bedroom home, which they will share with three other roommates. Each apartment includes its own kitchen, two bathrooms, and a dining/living area. There are also laundry facilities located on each floor. eminent of campus housing will be responsible for looking out for the well being of the student residents at University Villages. In continued efforts to create a strong community among the residents, University Village plans to have specific programs that target new residents, which aim to ease their transition into college life and to living on their own. "We'll have a lot of incoming freshmen," explained Singer, as she discussed the programs that are planned for giving students instruction on simple things, such as laundry and cooking In conjunction with the three a nutritious meal.

The tedious act of leaving your home and paying $15 for a compact disk has been replaced by a few simple clicks of the mouse. File-sharing programs such as the infamous Napster and user-friendly Kazaa are currently entertaining over a million users. Along with this, virtually all PC's shipped in the last 12 months have come equipped with CD burners and burner software.

Full-Figured Diva Gets Booted in American Idol 2 By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer Just before the airing of the Feb. 11 show, Fox Television announced Franchelle "Frenchie" Davis was being kicked off of the contestant's list for American Idol 2. It had been revealed that the woman, now 23 years old, had posed nude at the age of 18 for an interactive childpornography website. From FrenchieY initial audition, she was said to be one of America's favorites and had a very good chance of being crowned "American Idol," despite not having the 'American Idol' look. th Before she was selected as a participant, she told the producers of the show about her past and made no secret about what she had been involved in. When background checks were done on each of the contestants, her short-lived career in pornography never showed up. At the time, the producers warned her that if media became aware of this, they would deal with it accordingly. Never did they make any mention of eliminating her from the show. No information was given on how they were going to deal with the issue if it was made public. Ms. Davis, who is currently a senior theater arts student at Howard University, stated, "I was 18 years old at the time and 3,000 miles away from home. But I simply refused to go back home without a college degree, and at the time it seemed like the best way to earn the money. I needed to continue my one of last year's finalists, education.

Many men and women define themselves by the definitions of one political ideal or another, and yet when the day of reckoning comes for their beliefs, they so quickly and radically change them. I'll be honest. I usually vote Republican. I also believe that affirmative action, in principle, is a good thing. I believe strongly in the importance and significance of the women's movement, and no, I did not vote for Bill Simon in the last election. So don't try to label me. It won't work. I lean far left of center on some issues, but I also have guns in my house. Maybe this allows me the freedom to be reasonable about politics. I recently asked someone (a liberal by most definitions) whose opinions I respect why there was so much opposition to President Bush's policy about Iraq. When Former President Clinton sent troops storming into Kosovo to take down Milosevic, no one complained. When Clinton ordered troops deployed to Somalia to try and end the oppression by vicious warlords, no one objected. So why is it that now there is so much resistance? Saddam Hussein slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people when he invaded Iran and Kuwait. He murdered a hundred thousand of his own people in order tofieldtest his chemical weapons. He destroyed his own ecosystem when he set the oil fields ablaze ten years ago, and he openly admits to wanting to occupy the entire gulf region and hold, single handedly, the world's largest supply of oil. We know he's a tyrant. Who cares about propaganda from either side at this point? Does the past mean nothing? Are Hussein's own words meaningless? Surely the global community did not give so much consideration to Milosevic and the Somali warlords! Her answer to me was that there is a certain level of anxiety, because of the current administration, that this proposed war with Iraq could be because of the oil. There is a suspicion about holdings in oil companies and ulterior motives on behalf of our current leaders. That doesn't necessarily mean that the left thinks it IS over the oil, but that it might be. I honestly don't under- So how is Hussein different stand the militant scrutiny and from Milosevic? For that matter, suspicion, but I can accept that. ' how is he different from a young Hitler? Before I came to CSUSM, I served in the US Navy. I didn't Why is it that the loudest like Clinton.

The solidarity of our nation and its people were more important to me. T heism in a n E volutionary S ociety By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer In another period, the belief that humans naturally evolved from a puddle of primordial ooze would have been absurd. The mere notion that once immaterial and purposeless ooze becoming a material and purpose-driven person would have been incongruous. However, in previous years the notion has survived and 'evolved' into the primary view of science. Science by definition is the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanations of phenomena. Science excludes everything but the material and the natural. You cannot study anything that is outside of natural processes. By means of science, you cannot study spirits or God because they are outside of the material and the natural. One would then objectively presume that through the venue of science alone, we could not know everything. According to the dominant view of science, this statement would be uneducated and short of thought. What is outside of science is outside of reality. The scientific processes are the only way we can really know anything. With this view, so engrained into the realm of Academia, it almost seems impossible to look at it any other way. Yet "more thari 47% of Americans believe in a Creator as well as 40% of Americans believing in God-Guided Evolutionary science," according to a January 1993 First Things article. You might ask: how is it that so many believe in a theistic evolution? Is it hard to distinguish between evolution and what it accepts to be fully naturalistic and outside the reach of a Creator? How are words used to transform the way we see the subject at hand? I believe much of it has to do with our unfamiliarity of the subject matter and the ambiguity of the terms' implication to society. Evolution: According to modern science, Natural Evolution is the random sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group of organisms; it fundamentally assumes that the foires , I of nature alone are adequate to explain everything that exists. It does not accept creation in a theistic sense. It only involves blind and purposeless processes. It cannot be a process in which God employed, due to employed purposeless matter. Random mutation and natural selection produce everything. Creation is an effort to give scientific support for the truth of the account of creation given in the Book of Genesis. It is the divine act, which, according to various religious and philosophical traditions, brought the world into existence. Theistic Evolution is an attempt to bridge the gap of Evolution and Creation; Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially the belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world and interpreting "scientific" discovery as God's pre-determiriing process. Why would this be so disturbing to the theist? Well, because it rules them out of the circle of the Intelligentsia since science can't explain God. What is inadequate evidence becomes evolutionary fact. So it is not that God does not exist, but that we wouldn't be able to know throughout scientific investigation. Following the guidelines of scientific investigation, God might as well not exist. Now that we have ruled God out of the question of origin, it can only be through random genetic changes and natural selection that we have come to exist. It is not because anybody has seen these changes, but that there is no other option available to science. God then becomes a cultural and moral icon. God becomes a subjective idea based on our personal feelings and not an objective authority based on the way God created human nature. One of the leading proponents, of evolution; Stephen J. Gould writes in Science magazine: "I regard the both religion and evolution as of equal dignity and limitless contracts. They don't conflict because science treats the factual reality while religion struggles with human morality." He quotes science and religion as SEPARATE but EQUAL. Yet the undeniable fact is: someone is left sitting in the back of the bus. I MTO H IGH G EAR!

A quick check on the US Department of Justice website reveals that, contrary to what is indicated in the article, "...an ability to read, write, and speak English" is, in fact, a prerequisite for becoming a naturalized citizen. Here are links to relevant websites: http://www.ins.usdoj .gov/graphics/ services/natz/ http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/ services/natz/general.htm The U.S. has also subsidized the war efforts of Israeli terrorists who commit atrocious acts against Palestinians. The U.S. supplies Columbian paramilitary forces that have subsequently eliminated thirty thousand dissidents. Supporting terrorism in the name of democracy is reprehensible. Furthermore, Saddam never kicked the U.N. inspectors out of Iraq, as it was actually the U.S. who asked the inspectors to leave Iraq in 1998 when our extensive bombing raids , eradicated a schoolhouse full of 400 children. screwing over veterans like Mr. Dobbins on their "guaranteed" benefits, and an administration full of chicken-hawks clamoring for war that are intent on world domination, he has convinced the people to support his unnecessary, unjustifiable, unprecedented "war on terrorism," which magically shifts its boundaries to encompass all those he deems terrorists. Containment has worked thus far and worked to topple the Soviet Union, a far more dangerous enemy. We need to step up the inspection process and lift some of the economic and medical sanctions that have already caused half a million deaths in Iraq. Is a war that will surely destabilize the region, increasing the likelihood of more wars and terrorist attacks upon our nation really the best option? I think not. In a sense we as a nation are as guilty of terrorism as any other. So much for going out of our way to avoid killing innocent people. Bush has duped the American people.

Since we are doing our best to become a legitimate source of news to the students, faculty, staff, and surrounding community at CSUSM, our efforts to teach our staff writers about the folkways of journalism must be respected. Don't put pressure on them to print your picture or run your story, just because you have them in class, or because they are your friends. And don't ask to see things before they are printed. It's unprofessional. We are doing the very best we can, with what we have, to be professional to the best of our capacity, and when members of the faculty and staff undermine that professionalism with favoritism, it messes with the whole process. So next time you think that The Pride doesn't cover things that are relevant to the campus, or you have a complaint that something is not being covered, why not send us a letter and tell us? Or better yet, join the staff and help to institute a change? Or if you have sent letters to our advisor or to the CSUSM director of communications, complaining about what's published in The Pride, you should send it to us, because after all, we are the editors. There are too many people on this campus —as in life— who like to complain about the 'way things are,' who are also unwilling to step up and accept the challenge to become part of the solution. Don't be one of them. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MARCH 11. 200.1 Results of Survey show CSUSM leads in Writing, Technology, Number of Commuting Students By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The results of the 2002 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) have been released and Cal State San Marcos has received high marks from students for the third year in a row. The survey compares the responses of incoming freshmen and graduating seniors to those in master's level institutions across the country, as well as other schools in the CSU system. The NSSE survey has been conducted every spring since 2000. The survey items examine the extent to which students exhibit "good educational practices" as determined by a consortium of national educators. The questions ask students to estimate how much time they spend on such activities as writing and group work. College staff is not involved with the survey. The Center for Survey Research at Indiana University compiles the questions and randomly selects which new freshmen and graduating seniors receive it. 367 San Marcos students were chosen to take part in the survey, which was distributed to around 80,500 students nationally. More than half of polled students even tually returned a complete* survey, a better response rat< than average.

The CFA is also worried about the proposed cuts in student service funding, which will reduce the extent of cultural, social and developmental programs that are accessible to CSU students. The CFA has declared that "Unfortunately, CSU administrators view the Governor's proposal as a 'best case scenario' and many policy makers believe the CSU's exposure to additional cuts is significant." As avowed in the conference, the Chancellor considers himself to be an optimist. Accordingly, he went into depth about some of the strong points within the CSU system.

Cal State University San Marcos does not have plans to hold a fall commencement ceremony similar to the spring commencement. The fall 2003 graduates will be included with the spring 2004 graduates in May 2004 at whichever venue the commencement committee decides upon. Fall 2003 graduates will be given a small reception in their honor at the end of the fall semester in December 2003. The commencement ceremony is the usual pomp and circumstance walk-through ceremony like high school and university graduations. The graduates wear robes, walk up to the stage in front of friends, family, and all other graduates in order to receive their diplomas for the completion of their degrees. The Fall Recognition Recep- tion, which will be held in the fall graduates' honor after the fall semester, consists of a small reception with refreshments, speeches from members of the administration, and takes place in a casual atmosphere. The graduates' names are not read, they do not wear a robe, and they do not receive their diplomas up on stage. In years past, President Gonzalez, Dr. Martinez, and the ASI President have spoken at the reception. Historically, this gathering has been held on campus. Is there a possibility of holding a real commencement ceremony in the fall? "At this time, no," According to the vice president of student affairs, Dr. Francine Martinez, "The costs associated with planning and holding a full commencement ceremony are prohibitive. Additionally, extensive research in the CSU has shown that there are no campuses that hold a fall commencement ceremony. In response to student requests we instituted a Fall Recognition Reception in Fall 01, continued in Fall 02 and are already making plans for Fall 03."

And third, f rom p age 1 CSUSM Survey writing requirement is much more stringent here than at other schools, particularly in composition of short and medium length papers. The learning of a second language is not a requirement at many schools, and graduating seniors are much more likely to learn a second language before they graduate. Students at San Marcos report a slightly larger emphasis on analysis and incorporation of abstract theory than at other master's level schools, particularly at the freshmen level. Seniors at San Marcos are slightly less likely to learn through repetition of memorized material than other CSU students, though nationwide and at the freshman level there is an equal emphasis on memorization. Editorial Staff Lead Editor Lead Editor News Editor Feature Editor Arts Editor Opimo» Editor Spanish Editor Sports Editor Graduate Intern Business Manager Advisor Martinez estimated costs involved to hold a commencement ceremony at approximately $38,000.

Past commencement ceremonies for CSUSM have been held on campus at Forum Plaza, but because of construction projects in that area of campus, the ceremony was moved to the Del Mar Fairgrounds where it was held last year, and where it will be held again this spring. What can students do to voice their opinion on this topic? "Over the next few months elected ASI representatives will be going to students and asking for comments/thoughts on these opinions; students should take the time and respond. Additionally, we will plan to have information tables set up on Forum Plaza and an information session where students can also share their thoughts," said Martinez.

They are more likely to make presentations and work in groups on class projects. Compared to other CSU schools, they are more likely to ask questions in class. Despite the heavy workload, CSUSM students say they are happy with their education and would enroll in this school again. More CSUSM students reported that their class work makes them better writers and more technologically capable than did students at other schools. San Marcos students are also happier with their faculty than other CSU students, though nationally the response to faculty is similar. Alyssa Fi n kelstei n Martha Sarabia Gail Tarantino Jennifer Acee Chris Martin Jason Padilla Martha Sarabia Jessica Krone Leiana Naholowaa Alyssa Finkelstein Madeleine Marshall said to be similar to the fall of 2002 numbers, but data is still being gathered. The deadline for spring 2004 graduation is in late September, so the figures for spring 2004 commencement will not be available until sometime after the deadline. Marcos is only slightly different from the other CSU schools in this regard, but much more so than national schools, especially among freshmen. Also, students at San Marcos are less likely to work in internships or apply what they learn in school to their current jobs, and less likely to interact with faculty outside of class. San Marcos students, seniors especially, reported that there is little support on campus for non-academic needs, such as family or social issues. The commuter nature of the campus is another distinctive feature of CSUSM, a trait shared with all CSU schools.

Commenting on San Marcos' first place position, Axlund said, "As soon as we start getting too comfortable with where we are in the standings and stop putting forth the effort I know we can, the other schools out there will pass us." When asked if he felt that would happen, he replied "Not at all. We are all good players, and we will just keep playing." The men's next golf tournament will be on Mar. 17, hosted by Drake University at the Diablo Grande Golf Club.

Weather was on the compliable side for opening day, and the women's golf team gave a respectable performance by finishing in first. The second day weather conditions were not so forgiving because of the rain.

By MARY SCHIEFELBEIN Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos had the pleasure of hosting the Guerrilla Girls last Tuesday, and the sold out show began at 6 p.m. in the Arts building. Born in New York City in 1985, Guerrilla Girls started as a public educational campaign, fighting against the devaluation of women in art and science culture. Guerrilla Girls have produced over 100 humorous, sarcastic, in your face and, to some, offensive posters, stickers, books, printed objects, and billboards as their voice. Over the year they have been a part of events that have exposed sexism and racism in politics, the art world,film,and the culture at large. Monkeying Around The show opened with the infamous Guerrilla Girls coming down the aisles, adorned in true jungle drag fashion (mammoth size gorilla masks and black attire) and throwing bananas out to the audience. The Guerrilla Girls both agreed later on in the show that this is part of the fun, performing anonymously, taking on pseudonyms of dead women artists.

CATALAN Pride Staff Writer Learning and thinking about societal norms will be the emphasis of Women's History Month at CSUSM - cultural life, political life, and social life. The societal realization and coming of age of the strong, intelligent, and hardworking woman is the reality of what a woman is today. The events this year on campus will consist of various events that will be held on campus from Mar. 4 through Mar. 27. One of the scheduled events for Women's History Month at CSUSM is "The Feminism Is For Everybody Panel, which will be on Mar: 19, 2003,Sfid the host of the panel will ?? be Dr. Maribel Garcia, professor of Women's Studies, along with guest lecturer, Professor Denise MacNeil. Dr Garcia stated, "This student panel is intended to answer the question, 'What is feminism?' by addressing critical issues ranging from feminism, welfare reform to feminism, and the Father's Right's debate. The objective is to both educate and empower young men and women by discussing contemporary issues of race and gender. It will address the importance of our role as women and men in today's society by introducing the audience to women's studies." Tuesday, March 11,2003 5 programming/publicity committee for the Women's Leadership Conference that was held on Mar. 7. Jennings commented, "Most of our students, who have grown up in the 1980s and 1990s, and know the women's rights movement as a part of history; they weren't there to experience it. But they, both men and women, are also products of that history, of all the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment it has taken to empower women and move closer to equality."

One of the show's highlights was when a student from the crowd, junior liberal studies student Nimitz Bagtas, volunteered to be a part of the Guerrilla Girl's grand finale. He was to dress up as a woman, donning a skirt and pink ribbon tiara. Hamming it up for the crowd, Nimitz asked ARTS Another show highlight that received a round of applause was when junior communication major Honee Folk stood up to say she did not realize how underrepresented women were in the art realm and that she could identify being a black woman. She said she really appreciated the Guerrilla Girls for bringing that to her attention. Folk also said that there's a significant chance for the women at Cal State San Marcos to be underrepresented with the ASI Elections coming up. Though the ratio of women to men at San Marcos is 60 to 40, only three women are running in the elections, so there is great potential for the student government representatives to be all male. One of the Guerrilla Girls asked her if she was running and just as Folk replied with a "yes!" the crowd broke out into applause, whistles and "Women's History Month is a time to celebrate women and their accomplishments. Women have always made a difference and significance in our society, along with men, but have never been acknowledged due to being a woman, in our male dominant society." Women from Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM) will share their experiences, knowledge, and adversities from all lines of work. From women artists, authors, elected officials, scholars, CSUSM, and community women from all over - will reveal their experiences of what being a woman in our society today has meant to themselves and to fellow Linda Pershing, director and women. professor of CSUSM's Women's Studies program stated, A whole series of events, performances, panels, and workshops are entailed for this very, big event of Women's History Month at CSUSM. Women's suppression, subordination, achievements, and accomplishments of the past and present are going to finally be recognized. The contributions of women have been overlooked for so long from a historical point of view. Women are still struggling to find themselves, fighting for equality, genderism, racism, sexism, and not finding total equality, but equitability in our patriarchal society. shout outs. The show closed with questions from the audience. "How many Guerrilla's are there and does the group consist of many ethnicities?" asked a member of the audience. One of the Guerrilla Girls replied that there are many women of different ethnic groups, different sexual orientations. Another response from the Guerrilla Girls regarding their diversity was that "some of us want a piece of the pie, some of us want to blow up the whole system."

Jewish migration into Eastern Europe. The Jewish religion forbade playing music except on holidays or at weddings, and only acapella singing was permitted in the Temple. Klezmorim, the musicians who played klezmer music, were often traveling musicians.

The musicians faced each other and played as if they were having a conversation, one instrument speaking, then the other responding. The contrapuntal effect of the two lines of music moved the piece forward, and kept the audience involved. All the musicians were on stage for the two final pieces of klezmer music. The first was a traditional wedding piece, often played as an improvisation. Imara and Goldberg played the sax, each taking turns making their instruments cry and wail, perhaps mimicking the mother of the bride. The musicians laughed as they enjoyed the improv, and the audience began to clap in time to the music. "Broiges Tanz," or The Dance of the In-Laws, was thefinalpiece. This group of musicians clearly enjoyed playing together as much as the audience enjoyed listening to them. The hour passed too quickly, and then the audience was on its feet clapping and whistling in appreciation for an all-too-short evening of klezmer. �THE PRIDE Dear Editors, Regarding Jamal Scarlett's Feb. 18 article, there is no doubt in my mind that there is a liberal bias at Cal State San Marcos. The faculty being liberal is a small problem. The big problem that I have is the fact that the Cal State system is liberal in general, and tends to tilt towards the left. Here is what I mean. 1) The majority of the Cal State Schools have done something I find to be unpatriotic, especially during this period in which the U.S is getting ready to defend and preserve freedom around the world. We no longer celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington on President's day, or Columbus Day, to name just a few. Those holidays have been moved to December, a month during which school is out for three of the four weeks. Instead, we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. . Day, and Caesar Chavez' birthday. I find that an insult to our founding fathers. Lincoln and Washington are two importantfiguresin our history. To me it sounds like the liberals that made this decision are trying to be "Politically Correct," and not offend anyone, that is unless they are 'Dead White Guys'. People have often accused liberals of being Un-American, well this is just one example to show that the facts are there. 2) Inviting a leftist liberal like Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton to speak at our school, with no balance of inviting someone on the other side of the political spectrum shows liberal bias. Where were Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Pat Buchanan, and Bernard Goldberg when they were doing their book tours? Not here. I can go on and on, but I am sure that we all get the point by now. Nash Summers Tang Junior, Business POIJTTCAT, VOTflF: Dear Editors: one side of the coin, they own, produce, and monopolize the coin In his March 4 letter Sean trade.

By refusing to believe the truth that he is presented with everyday by his "biased" professors, Sean takes it upon himself to fight the liberal oppressors here at this campus. It seems the intolerance conservatives preach has not run out, and that is sad. Mr. Mattingly pitifully follows the dictums of the white male conservative capitalist elite and is hardlyfitto be the president of ASI. Matthew Black Junior, History Dear Editors: As our nation faces war with Iraq, I notice many anti-war protests taking place throughout our nation. Although I do not like to see our country divided, I know it is our right to do so, and feel happy we have this right to exercise.

Amber De La Torre Junior, Sociology In response to Matthew Black: You're a good mouth piece for the "Blame -America-First- Club," but you take things way out of context, and have serious flaws in your arguments Mr. Black. You first rambled about how the U.S. backed Saddam in the 1980s and even Osama bin Laden for a while, and yes, both of them did share a common interest at one point with the U.S. But you fail to mention, that we backed him as part of the containment policy against the former Soviet Union's attempted expansion into the region. The Soviets at that time were backing Iran during their 8-year war with Iraq. And let's not forget that Iran had taken hundreds of Americans hostage in the early ages as well. You also said that we encouraged Saddam to use chemical weapons on Kurds and Iranians. Did you ever stop to think that maybe those with you, then you help them. Then to hide among civilians. And that's very Kurds and Iranians got gassed if they stab you in the back, (for the why innocent people get caught in because they werefightingwith the safety of all Americans) you punish the crossfire.

An EOP student profile te/fi/ig the story of success Vox The Pride The CSUSM Career and Assessment Center presents the fair every spring. Sandy Punch, director of the Career and Assessment Center said, "I think considering the current state of the economy, this fair was a big success. [Job seekers] got quality time with the districts, and overall, districts seemed positive about hiring our candidates." 56 school districts and teacher recruitment centers throughout California and Nevada came to talk to the 412 candidates looking for jobs as teachers. These districts all had jobs for graduating students; they did not just have promises of jobs, but j obs that are available now. Sheldon Kelman will graduate this May from the CSUSM credential program, and he reported that it was a "Great job fair, [but he was] a little disappointed there wasn't more out of state school districts." Natalie Metras, also graduating in May, said that the overall fair was a "Great presentation; [recruiters] were all so helpful." She went on to say the teacher prep program was very helpful and that the College of Education taught her just what she needs to know about looking for a job. Local school districts that participated in the event included Fallbrook Union Elementary, Lake Elsinore Unified School District (USD), Murrieta Valley USD, Temecula Valley USD, and Vista USD.

Following the two-day meeting, the BOT announced their decision Thursday, March 13 at Cal State Fullerton. It seemed from an early start that Gonzalez was favored to be the new president at Sacramento. Gonzalez was the only finalist who had worked in the CSU system and he had been personally asked by Chancellor Charles B. Reed to apply for the presidency. There was further speculation that Gonzalez would not have applied if Reed would not support his candidacy. Gonzalez has denied this and believes that the other two finalists, law professor J. Clark Kelso and University of Houston President Karen Haynes, had equal opportunities for the position. Marcos.

The broken water pipes and flooded classrooms provided CSUSM an ideal opportunity for this very thing. "We handle electrical [outages] every once in a while and make contingency plans for them...but this is the first time we have had a flooding problem." The difference between an electrical problem and a flooding problem in terms of class locations is that in a power outage, the only classes truly affected are those which rely partially or entire on computers. In that case, Barsky directs classes that use computers to a number of other computer lab sites on campus with preprinted signs, while the other classes that do not rely on computers have to option to meet at the teacher's discretion.

The advisors* current CSUSM students, are nervous, anxious, and excited to set the bar for future RA's, and to blaze a trail for the future of CSUSM's 24-hour campus community. Although the residence hall will not be ready until next September, the RA's are already working in full swing to prepare for what they feel is a very exciting event. They are currently giving tours of the housing facilities, assisting the University Villages staff, and training together to create what they feel is a very important sense of community for themselves and their residents. The nine RA's for next fall will be Jimmy Barbour, Shannon Barnett, Jasen Braginton, Denise Caroj Bree Daniels, Jennifer Hauser, Chrisitina Polowsky, Carlos Quichocho, and Jesse Taylor. Being one of the first RA's at CSUSM is seen as a great honor for these nine students.

Hell's Angels also drove their motorcycles indiscriminately through the throng, injuring several people, and used full beer cans as projectiles to hurl at the gathered mass. The situation developed into a deadly crescendo when the Grateful Dead refused to go on stage due to the violence and the Rolling Stones delayed their set because they wanted to be filmed as the Sun was setting. The long delay coupled with the 30-degree temperatures in the Altamont pass seemed to ratchet up the fear and anger already present in the crowd. At this point both the concert and the documentary take on a weird surrealistic quality. As soon as the Rolling Stones take the stage and begin the intro to "Sympathy for the Devil" skirmishes begin breaking out at the edge of the stage. The band stops and starts playing several times as both Mick Jagger and Keith Richards plead with the crowd to stop fighting. The Hell's Angels beat a member of the audience unconscious and dragged him onto the Dance S tudents Portray Maids stage. A naked young woman, obviously in an advanced state of intoxication, attempts to climb onto the stage and receives similar treatment. Then, most horribly, 18-yearold Meredith Hunter is stabbed several times in full view of the documentary cameras. In spite of the hallucinatory combination of evening haze and blinding strobe lights one can clearly see the Hell's Angels identifying "colors" and the sinister glint of the knife as it enters the doomed Hunter's neck. Hunter died from the stab wounds and the horrific beating he received, as he lay helpless-on the ground. The film shows that Hunter may have been holding a gun, and the Hell's Angels have always claimed that they acted to prevent Hunter from shooting at the stage. Others say that several members of the Hell's Angels had been assaulting Hunter, an African-American, because he was with a White girl" and. that Hunter drew a pistol in self defense. To this day, no one knows exactly what happened. What everyone knows is that the youth culture of the 1960s lost its innocence, and the Rolling Stones inane Marvel Comics image of darkness came to chilling fruition while the cameras rolled in "Gimme Shelter."

Out of State & Out of Luck By AMBER ROSSLAND For The Pride As a productive member of the CSUSM student community, I reached for the stars and strived for excellence. I was on the dean's list of academic excellence during every semester of my college career. Taking five classes a semester, maxing out on credits, and putting in a 40-hour workweek, I managed to complete every course I thought I needed for graduation. Apparently, however, hone of these achievements served as a measure of my success in the jumbled graduation advisement and evaluation process at CSUSM.

When we are given more notice, we are more able to-accommodate the busy schedule of a university president and other important sources for the article. CSUSM's external affairs department, headed by Rick Moore, failed to include The Pride when "courtesy notices" were sent out to the other papers on Feb 26. Moore finally notified us on the morning of Feb. 28. But perhaps that's the point. This isn't thefirsttime that The Pride has been 'unintentionally' left out ofimportant events that are occurring on campus. Many of you may remember last fall when one of CSUSM's own students had disappeared and tragically committed suicide. Moore's office and the local media had a press conference with Alex Zingaro's parents while the search for him was still on, but The Pride was once again left out of the loop - we found out about that press conference from the local papers as well. Moore would have us believe that the reason for the delay is because, as he put it, the daily papers need more notice than The Pride, which is a weekly paper. We argue that we, the only student-run press of CSUSM, need as much notice as possible — specifically because we are a weekly paper. We don't have the luxury of a staff of full-time (paid) reporters that can drop everything and cover aritory. Furthermore, as students we are less able to arrange our schedules in order to accommodate the availability of President Gonzalez - if we are ever to hope for an You are told to trust advisors, ask them what classes to take, ask them to evaluate your graduation requirements, but when it comes down to it, you are left alone to deal with the consequences of their errors. What kind of system is CSUSM running where it takes so long for them tofigureout that you are missing a class that there is no way you can even register for it until a year after the fact? This is a small university right now, but looking into the future, what are they going to do as it grows? Will it take them a year after you're gone tofigureout you need one more class? Do they expect you to drop your entire life and move back to take one class because of their mistake? I wish I knew. Moore's actions speak louder than his words. Without allowing us access to the story, we fall behind the local papers in covering the events on our own campus. How can we ever hope to establish a successful journalism program at CSUSM i f the student newspaper is neglected so blatantly in the face of real news? We're not asking for an exclusive, but we do expect equality. Our question then to the administration is this - i f we are to prove ourselves in any capacity to be a legitimate news medium indeed the only free student press at CSUSM, how are we supposed to do so without university support? The administration tells us that we are customers of this institution of higher learning, and yet they leave us in the dark and fail to notify us when something important happens. This i s incredibly bad customer service. EDITORIAL In the past, Moore and other members of his office have been quick to tell the editors and staff writers that he is "one of us." We have listened to him tell us all about his stint with other college newspapers, and what a supporter he is of student journalism. Moore's oversight in not notifying The Pride staff of this important story, and others like it - whether it was intentional or nót - is inexcusable. We are tired of being ignored Mr. Moore, and we expect to be notified in the same way and at the same time as airy other newspaper. �C AMPUS LIFE (for 24-hour permits) will resemble the current rate of the general permits that are offered to all CSUSM students." First of all, how is the term "current rate" defined? The current rate of spring passes is less money than the raised price fall passes will be, and the residence halls are scheduled to open in the fall. So what price will the residents be paying? No matter how much the cost, student residents will have a "reserved" parking spot for the semester. At least campus residents, in all fairness, will have the privilege to park on pavement for 24 hours while many of us continue to park in the mud and be out of the lot by 5:30 or fined. Dear editors: Many students complain that there is never anything to do on campus, that we don't have an active campus life. But considering the fact that we are a commuter campus, I believe we have an active campus life; you just have to look around to see all the wonderful events that are hosted.

With much appreciation, Karin Giron Senior, Business PARKING ISSUES Dear Editors: After reading The Pride article, "CSUSM is becoming a 24-hour campus," I was relieved to find out that the university is indeed concerned with the parking issue here on campus, that is, only for the fall residents of the University Village apartments. According to the article, a 24-hour parking lot is currently under construction to accommodate the 460 students that will occupy the buildings scheduled to open in fall '03. I have yet to hear of any near future solutions to the current parking crisis on campus, but at least the University Village residents will be taken care of. According to the article, "Prices I have no doubt that fall admissions will once again exceed the parking availabilities for commuter students, but does this lack of spaces for Village residents mean that regular parking will be even more impacted during class times? During the 2002-2003 school year, Cal State San Marcos admitted more students than parking accommodations were available for. We are dreamers if we believe this will change any time soon, especially because the more students the university lets in, the more funding it will have toward the parking structure that our children who attend the university will get to use. Why didn't the University plan for population growth and facility expansion long ago? It is easy for administration to decide that parking rates will go up due to their lapse in logic while the number of available spaces will stay the same. And now, the concern of the university goes to the village residents and their parking facilities. It must be a coincidence that the students who will be contributing more to CSUSM's profit will be likewise rewarded with benefits. It is clear that Cal State is an institution for the capitalists and by the capitalists, and it is tragic that money and not education is the driving force behind the school. If I am going to be treated like a consumer at this university, then at least give me some consumer rights.

So now that you've got that money what can you do with it? Let's see, going to the movies will run you about nine bucks, add some popcorn and soda and you've pretty much spent the entire fifteen dollars. How about a concert? Well, if you wanted to see any big name band $15 might get you a toe inside the venue, but that's it. Perhaps there's a famous author speaking at an event, While the cost might befreeat the rate gas prices are going it would probably cost you your entire $15 to drive there and park. Hmmm, not much $15 can really get you nowadays, right? Hold on now folks, there's A LOT your $15 can get you at Cal State San Marcos!!! Free movies, free worldrenowned speakers, free concerts, free art events.. all brought to you through the Arts & Lectures series which is funded directly through the IRA fee (Instructionally Related Activities fee) which you pay as part of your student fees each semester. If you're like me you probably don't pay much attention to what the heck it is that our semester fees cover, but this is one time you really should. In a nutshell, some of the major programs the IRA fee helps fund are; the Arts and Lectures Series, the Pride Newspaper, Intercollegiate Athletics, the Pow Wow, and the Intercultural Speaker Series. The IRA fee has been $5 per semester for the past 12 years and as we all know, the cost of everything has gone up. In order to bring our campus in line with the average for all CSU campuses (range is $4-$ 111 per semester), there is a referendum up for a vote March 17-20, asking for small increases over the next 3 years. The first increase would be from $5 to $20 starting this summer with subsequent $5 increases through 2006, bringing the total to $35. I realize that all of us were hit with some pretty big increases this semester (parking ring a bell?), but this is one time that I beg you to not scoff at the idea of forking over a bit more money. When you think of all the good that a measly $15 can bring to your university experience, doesn't it seem worth it to skip . a few Starbucks trips or pass up that next meal out and instead put that $15 to better use? The week of March 17-20 each and every one of you has the opportunity to H OW THE WAR IS AFFECTING M Y P OCKETBOOK Consumers, When I first arrived in Germany in September of 2002, before war with Iraq was imminent, the exchange rate between the Euro and the dollar was slightly in my favor. In general it was about a 1 to 1 ratio. This meant that I easily avoided the task of converting amounts in my head when making purchases or having to carry a pocket calculator with me at all times. A shirt costing 5 Euro was 5 dollars to me, and taking out 300 Euro was 300 Dollars. With the US on the brink of war I have watched the Euro grow to become stronger than my buck. The 10cent difference since September may not seem like a lot, but 10 cents on ever dollar means 30 lost when I take 300 out of the ATM, and it adds up. Since then, my fellow American students and I are constantly watching the rates stray from our favor. One student, enraged when she found a few hundred dollars to be missing from her bank account, realized she hadn't been calculating the exchange rate difference since it had so drastically changed. This war is affecting my pocketbook. It hasn't even begun (officially) yet, and the speculation has weakend the American dollar. My current Professor who is from Australia even remarked that the Australian dollar is the strongest its been all year in comparison to the American dollar. This is new tome. I grew up in Detroit, on the US Canadian border and fully took advantage of the great exchange rates to go shopping or go on a short vacation. When I moved to San Diego, I found the same luxuries in Mexico. As an American, I always thought exchanges would be in my favor. This is a metaphor for how I thought about cultural relationships as well. In the past, I believed that being an American meant that people around the world looked up to me. That I had the better lifestyle and cultural values. I didn't go around flaunting it or anything, but the bias existed within me, and I didn't even realize it until I ventured off US soil for more than some cross cultural shopping or a vacation. how much they love America and would like to live there, but that I have met just as many people who aren't at all thrilled with the American way. This is perfectly ok with me, in fact its wonderful. In the same way I appreciate so many things that my American lifestyle affords me, others should bask in the sunlight of their cultural values too. It is what makes the world worth experiencing. Adaptability is the key, not letting your cultural norms blind you from seeing another way and view on doing things. I only wish that I could get my 10 cents back for every time I have realized this. By Emily Commer Senior Global Business Management IP Germany POLITICS Dear Editors: A recent exchange of editorials in The Pride newspaper regarding a liberal bias on campus has deeply troubled me. The latest response, written by Sean Mattingly (junior, Business) was particularly specious. In it, he calls for liberals to "have a little respect for your country, its history, its founders, and your freedom." Although no one would argue with the ideals his statement embraces, such words do little to address the real issues that endanger freedom in our world today—nor do they encourage the kind of constructive analysis that is essential to any thinking individual. When we do take the time to study our nation's history, we learn that the struggles that have defined this country are far from simple—they can't be easily couched into a neat little package and stamped "freedom." The story of America is, in fact, the story of the struggle between classes. This is not, as Mr. Mattingly suggests, "only in (our) mind(s)." There is no liberal or conservative here, no right or wrong—just facts inherent to capitalism. Higher education is a place for questioning and reasoning, not a place for parroting half-truths and clichés. The fact that this nation was born from—and developed alongside— the class struggle is not something to ignore in the name of some larger sense of nationalism. What we get then is only an ideology of ignorance, and that is certainly not what we all agree makes America great. Today exposure to the real issues and perspectives from both sides is very hard to come by. The media system is controlled by a handful of international corporations and real investigative journalism is fast becoming a casualty of bottom-line profits. Although it is difficult to gain exposure to "both sides of the coin," this is exactly what we must strive for: a true understanding of Living in Germany I see how the motives behind the policies much the Germans appreciate which shape our country and their rules, systems, and ways of doing things. Not to say that See POLITICS, page 12 I don't meet people who tell me �POLITICS from page 1 1 determine our freedoms. We must remember that money is a very powerful motivator in the contemporary world. We must, especially as scholars, pursue all avenues of thought and make assessments of those perspectives based upon knowledge. What I am talking about here is intellectual responsibility. There is nothing more patriotic than this. It is time to start demanding of each other—and most importantly, of ourselves—a greater commitment to civic responsibility. This means we must move outside the boxes of thought that are imposed upon us when we turn on the television. We must remain skeptical—all thinking people do. Today it is more important than ever to do so, as our country prepares to engage in war, and likely without the support of the United Nations—a body politic that stands for the collective voice of the civilized world. Only through careful consideration can we become constructive participants in the noble struggle to achieve "a new birth of freedom—(so) that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth" (Abraham Lincoln, 1863). Robert Woerheide Junior, LTWR MEDIA POLITICS ment of life...for all minorities..." Okay then, why not go to another country just for a few years, then come back, look us in the eye, tell us life is better somewhere else, and prove us wrong? You do that, and we'll shut up about it. In addition, you praised Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine, which showed Canada to be a "progressive, egalitarian society..." Funny I don't see Michael Moore packing up and leaving either. I did not mean to go on such a long tangent, but I felt those issues had to be addressed. In closing: this is a public institution. And therefore it is wrong to use people's tax dollars in support of one set of beliefs over another. As my father likes to say, "the only place where communism still thrives is the American University system." And you two - along with some teachers here - are living proof. Brian Dobbins Senior, Communication INALIENABLE RIGHTS Dear Editors: I am responding to the editorials in the 03.11.03 issue of the Pride. I would first like to point out that not all conservatives think like Mr.Mattingly. Mr. Mason put it succinctly that Mr. Mattingly's views "were perhaps branded at a young age." I agree that his verbiage comes across a bit terse and offensive at times and it may be due to his limited exposure to differing opinions from his own. out a way to assist Mr. Mattingly without alienating his ideas. He, too, must make an effort not to alienate the opinions that are different from his own. He should have afforded all of you the same courtesy! Everyone involved has therightto express an opinion and it is interesting to see the flow of dialogue, but it has turned into a "bash fest" more than the free exchange of ideas. regard each others as equals. So why are we living under a constitution that declares this inborn right? If we all believed we were truly equal, we would treat everyone with the respect and compassion that we desire to be treated with. We would look at a situation that places inconveniences in our 24-hour day and take it for what it is: a passing, fleeting instance. "This too will pass." Sometimes, it takes a bigger person to stand up and do what is right instead of continuing this cycle of negative debate. At some point, we need to allow "bygones to be bygones" and start over on a clean slate. In doing this, respect must be extended to everyone on both sides of the coin in order to facilitate this free exchange of ideas. We live in a very populated world. People are not going to disappear. So, why not enjoy them while we are alive. Treat the situation that stalls your day for a mere 10th of a second as a tiny instance in the large scale of your life. Smile more, whine less.

I was calmly waiting for the light to turn green. As I heard a horn honk, I glanced to my right to be faced with a woman, in a red sports car, screaming obscenities, waving her hands in the air, implying that she demanded I move my vehicle forward so that she could make a right turn. On another note I have noticed while driving to school as well that trees along interstate 15 are being cut down. While at the same time landscaping is being done at CSUSM. Why some effort can't be made to relocate these trees to CSUSM so that students can enjoy them for years to come. Even though it may not be cost effective the beautification of CSUSM is priceless!

About 75 students learned which fork to use, to keep their napkin on their lap during the entire meal and how the salt and pepper are treated as a married couple. The Career and Assessment Center (CAC) and Associated Students Inc. (ASI) joined together to put on the "First Annual Business Etiquette Dinner" at the Lake San Marcos Country Club.

"Many people thought I wasn't tough enough to be a D.A because I am a woman," said Dumanis. She continued to comment on the nature of men and women in law enforcement, noting that men and women simply respond differently, but provided no examples. Professor Garcia of the Women's Studies department disagreed slightly with Dumanis' assumptions of the innate differences between men and women. Garcia asserts that gender "is socially constructed, not biologically determined." Women respond differently than men because "this is how they were socialized to 'do gender' and not because it is something biologically innate." Fortunately for Dumanis' campaign, she is an experienced county clerk, assistant D.A, felony prosecutor, criminal trial judge, and seasoned law enforcement manager. "My whole career has been in law enforcement," states Dumanis. She admitted to have gone through some changes because of her gender to make her more palatable to the masses. She got a haircut, began to wear make-up and obtained a consultant to help with her wardrobe. This issue of needing to look feminine and fulfill a stereotype in f rom p age i community, but to no avail. "I believe in personal freedom, fiscal responsibility and accountability. These are the corner stones of the Republican party...I have to be true to myself," Dumanis said. are women," Tierney said, "and I think it worked to our advantage...and people just love Bonnie." Dumanis and Tierney also attribute the victory to San Diego's changing demographics and a series of defeated obstacles, such as negative perceptions of her gender and personal lifestyle. Historically, as maintained by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters since 1991, San Diego County is a more conservative region, meaning that the majority of its populous votes conservatively, so it was a big deal when voters designated a gay Republican woman as their new D.A by a margin of only 3,500 votes in the closest election in Southern California history. "We were very underestimated because we Because of the obstacles relating to gender and sexual orientation, Dumanis and Tierney had to change the nature of the campaign so that it, according to Tierney, focused not only on "why to choose Bonnie, but why not the other guy;" this in reference to the borderline smear campaign necessary to win the election.

"I thought things had changed," said Farmer in reference to feminine acceptance based on a compliance with an imposed cultural standard, "but obviously they haven't." Besides the negative cultural perception of her gender, Dumanis didn't get the support of her own political party because of her gay lifestyle, according to her close friend and political consultant Jennifer Tierney. Many friends and colleagues tried to get Dumanis to switch political parties because Democrats are perceived as being more friendly to the homosexual Keith Speers from page 1 Speers was responsible for working with the ASI board of directors and overseeing that ASI staff implements the board's goals. The executive director serves as a member on the division of student affairs senior management team and directs the financial, risk management and developmental aspects of ASI. ASI staff has refused to disclose Speers' salary. However, in a copy of the Fall 2002 ASI budget obtained by The Pride, it was acknowledged that $201,517 was allotted for the salaries of the part-time and fulltime professional staff, who included Speers as executive director; Poggi, who was then the assistant executive director; Marilyn McWilliams as administrative assistant; and Helen Hinton, program director for the Early Learning Center. Hinton is no longer on staff with ASI. The board appointed Poggi as Interim Executive Director at the Mar. 14 meeting. This position, as determined by the board, will last for one year. Poggi has been with ASI since Mar. 11, 2002. She said that she "wants to become the ASI attorney Richard Bromley refused to comment on the Speers' situation, explaining that because he is counsel for ASI, it is "inappropriate" for him to discuss any aspect of it. Brown wanted to clarify that the departure of Speers Union Tribune," Dumanis said, then Tierney added, "but he didn't have the support of San Diego lawyers, and that helped a lot." Paul Pfingst, the incumbent, earned a vote of no confidence from the county prosecutors' union after a series of events that called Pfingst's ethics into question. Dumanis capitalized on the scandals, which according to the North County Times included two "gender discrimination lawsuits that cost the county more than 1.25 million dollars," as well as a history of marijuana use. "Everything was truthful," Tierney said, "but we just didn't show the incumbent in the best light." and installment of Poggi as interim should be a smooth one, which should not result in any "break of business." Both Brown and Poggi believe that the student population will not notice the change in leadership. The approval of the official copy of the minutes from the Mar. 14 meeting is on the agenda of the next meeting of the ASI board, which is scheduled for Mar. 28, in Commons 206 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Once approved, these minutes are available upon request. However, it is possible that the released minutes will continue to questions unanswered about Speers' sudden departure. bl By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The 75th annual Academy Awards were held on schedule this year, but it was a slightly more subdued, and shorter,, c eremony than in previous years. Chicago won the most awards, a total of six, and the Holocaust drama, The Pianist, won three. S The increased likelihood of ^ war led many to believe that the ceremony would be altered in some way. While there were cutaways to news updates once every hour, the ceremony largely went without any mention of the war until the last two hours. Attending stars were heavily conflicted as to appropriate behavior. Stars had reportedly asked their designers to set aside a dark suit in addition to the gowns they had already chosen. Some decided to go ahead with * traditional glamour, including Halle Berry, who claimed her gown would inspire the troops. Nicole Kidman said in Entertainment Weekly that she was "in two minds" about attending the event during a war. "There are two arguments, aren't there, where they say you need to continue on with things and not be stopped, and then there's the other thing where you just say, of course, it would feel very strange to show up," she said. A few stars eventually decided not to attend, including presenter Will Smith, whose publicist said he "felt uncomfortable attending." Many of the stars felt it inappropriate to speak out directly against the war, instead silently protesting by wearing small golden dove pins, symbolizing a desire for world peace. away by the LAPD. When they tried to approach the venue, police pushed them back, and eventually twelve were arrested.

A few winners and presenters used the stage to speak about the war. The first person to speak out on the stage was presenter Gael Garcia, who mentioned that if Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, the subject of a film nominated for several awards, was alive she would be protesting against the war. Michael Moore, the winner for best documentary, proclaimed during his speech, "We live in fictional times. We live in a time when we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Shame on you, Mr. Bush!" His remarks led to scattered applause and some boos. Later, best actor winner Adrien Brody received a standing ovation for his "prayer for a peaceful and swift resolution." He dedicated his award to a friend serving overseas. After the show, he was reported as saying it was difficult "to celebrate when there is sadness and conflict in the world, but our achievements are valid and we deserve to celebrate that." Nicole Kidman defended the decision to hold the Oscars during wartime in her best actress acceptance speech, saying, "Art is important, because you believe in what you do, and there's a tradition that needs to be upheld." When asked his views about whether holding the awards on Sunday was appropriate, Honorary Oscar winner Peter O'Toole said, "If we civilians can't go on properly, what are they fighting for?" Best original screenplay winner Pedro Almodovar dedicated his award to the peace movement.

While traditional pain treatments may no longer be effective, some have found one that is. The problem is that its use is against the law. People suffering from illnesses as varied as anorexia, migraines, chronic pain, AIDS, and cancer have found relief by smoking marijuana, and the federal government is taking action against them. The Proposition Proposition 215, The Compassionate Use Act of 1996, passed by a small majority of California voters, provides for the growing and possession of small quantities of marijuana. State police have been instructed about how to handle citizens who are found with small amounts of marijuana for medical use, since patients and their caregivers may grow and possess marijuana any amount of marijuana. for medical purposes in the This conflict among State of California. governmental agencies, and the question of state Prop. 215 added a section sovereignty versus federal to the California Health and jurisdiction, is more than Safety code providing that academic.

These guidelines went into effect The guidelines adopted immediately, and will be by the San Diego City reviewed after two years. Council seem generous, since marijuana is still Federal law, on the other- considered an illegal drug hand, forbids possession of by the federal government. However, McWilliams considers them restrictive, unnecessary, and in violation of the will of the voters as expressed in the passage of Prop. 215. McWilliams smokes marijuana in order to alleviate the pain he suffers from a motorcycle accident. He and his housemate cultivate the drug for their own medical use. "We considered ourselves an information resource center," said McWilliams, and clarifies that they never sell or distribute marijuana. "We are very strict," he says. He continues that "for protection under the law," he requires the patients who approached him to have a letter from their physician, stating that the patient would be helped by using marijuana. McWilliams would then teach the patient how to cultivate their own plants. McWilliams uses his home garden as a model for how to successfully cultivate the plants, which The Church of the SubGenius Making no pretense to sincerity, the church of the SubGenius claims that by using their techniques of "BULLDADA" and "MOREALISM" and, perhaps most importantly, sending in money, one ; can "MIRACULOUSLY !

These claims and many others may be found in SubGenius pamphlet No.l: The World Ends Tomorrow and You May Die.

McWilliams now faces a possible prison term of six months. After his case is resolved and he has served any possible sentence, he will be leaving the area. "San Diego is a police state," he said. He plans to move to northern California, where medical marijuana laws are more liberal. "I believe in democracy. I believe in America," said McWilliams, but he added, "today, sick and dying people have the right to this medication." According to McWilliams, there are a number of countries investigating therapeutic marijuana, including New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain. Locally, UCSD is conducting a similar study on marijuana.

U.S. have determined Battling Pinky Boys and Promoting Sacred Slack By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer The Church of the SubGenius is an unabashed cult. It is among a group of "new" religions that many may not be familiar with. The movement was conceived and designed using academic studies of cults and cult phenomena. Religious cults typically provide their members with an all-consuming imperative goal to pursue, which if examined rationally will often make no logical sense at all. For the sub genii, this goal is the pursuit of slack. are notoriously difficult, time-consuming to grow, and plagued with problems, including pests. According to McWilliams, it takes about four months for a plant to fully mature from seedlings. He has invited patients, police officers, and city council members to his home to view the garden. Although it is behind a protective fence, he says that he has been very open about his activities. Another ubiquitous characteristic of religious cults is the veneration of a leader whom followers view as having a special connection to the divine. J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, "The Living Slack Master and High Eptot," fulfills this role for the altered state Church of the SubGenius. of consciousness. The church of the The actual theology of the SubGenius is happy to church of the SubGenius is embrace this interpretabased on the writings of J.R. tion as well as almost Dobbs, which are contained any other that might be in various tracts and books. offered. The sub genii will be happy to sell these publications to Distilling a cohesive anyone with the cash and theology from sub genii litthe will to buy. Some sug- organization is genuine in the beliefs they do espouse. Nonetheless, a careful and repeated reading of their l iterature reveals some consistent ideas. They believe that the planet Earth is under the control of an immensely powerful extra terrestrial being, Jehovah 1, who is an essentially selfish entity but one that can be placated in order to achieve "slack" for humanity. "Slack" can be defined as getting something for nothing, or as having more than enough time to do everything one wants to do. Slack is a state of being very similar to the Christian notion of living under Grace. The sub genii have been involved in working with Jehovah 1 for millennia, with the goal of creating a paradise on Earth. These sub genii have been consistently thwarted by sinister "Pink Boys" who insist on perpetuating false notions such as economic scarcity and the law of preservation of energy. The pink boys seem to be some kind of malignant cabal dedicated to keeping humanity enslaved to capitalism and conventional morality. They are responsible for our modern systems of ethics, religion, and economics that deprive individuals of their Jehovah 1-given right to slack. Year in and year out, the sub genii predict a cataclysmic apocalypse to occur on July 5, and the church celebrates accordingly each year on that date. The failure of such an apocalypse to actually occur has led some to suggest that sub genii merely use this supposed day of reckoning as an excuse to hold riotous parties, though the church denies this. Those interested in a religion that can be used to justify almost any kind of hedonistic excess and not opposed to exposing themselves to further spiritual confusion as well as to possible police surveillance can contact the church of the SubGenius at www.subgenius.com.

Women Performers Dance the Middle East and Mexico UCLA shows world cultures through dance By DIANA K. CABUTO Pride Staff Writer In celebration of Women's History month, culture, dance, and tradition was what the Cal State San Marcos audience, students, and teachers experienced with the UCLA performers on Tuesday, March 18th in the Arts Building. The audience learned about two different traditional dances, watched performers from UCLA dance on stage, and practiced some moves with the performers as well. Women dancers and performers demonstrated two of the dance styles and traditions of the World Art and Culture program at UCLA. Jayne Rabb, graduate researcher of world art and culture Throughout her dance, Adriat UCLA, performed a Middle ana illustrated how the people Eastern dance.

The audience was also invited by the dancers from UCLA to come down to the stage and learn some of the basic steps from each of the dances performed. They danced some Middle Eastern moves like the rump 'shaking shimmy' that characterizes Middle Eastern folk dance. They also enjoyed dancing with partners in some of the traditional dances that have originated in Oaxaca. Both the audience and the performers were happy to interact with each other. When Rabb was asked about her experience with the students at Cal State San Marcos, she responded, "Speaking for my entire group I can say that interacting with the students at CSUSM was an absolute pleasure, and most of us in the folklore graduate program at UCLA hope to become teachers one day and Maria Gonzalez, a sophomore so the classroom experience for pre-business student at CSUSM, us is invaluable." said, "I am happy to see this type of presentation, in which the The presentation and perforaudience interacts more with the mance lasted two hours, and the performers, and actually learns audience was delighted.

Although each of the members holds a day job, they agree that getting their music career up and running is their number one priority. This month has been especially busy for them. The band is also currently in production with Black Farm Records with a $6,000 contract, and they are working on a fivesong demo CD, which they hope to release within the next two months. The show that had been scheduled at Pounders last Thursday night was cancelled due to a scheduling conflict for Crist, but they opened for The Innocents at Longshots the following night.

In its first year and a half the site has seen some 335,940 visitors and is now celebrating its 25,000th individual evaluation and its 10,000th different professor evaluated. The site's traffic rating has made them one of the largest college sites in the world. Upon browsing the site I found it to be informative as well as entertaining. First, at the top of every page is the Quote of the Moment, in which amusing quotes from Homer Simpson to George Carlin to Dan Quayle are shown. Then in the evaluation section is the A+ Club where the best-rated professors are showcased. Another section is titled Q&A with Ross, where questions are posed and Ross attempts to respond in a humorous manner, and is oftentimes successful. Kasey on College is yet another section of the site that attempts to offer advice to issues of college life in general. OOF Courtesy Illustration where visitors are given a question to ponder and then can vote for the response they find the most fitting, and the statistical data is up to the moment. But by f ar my favorite part of the site is the Hilarious Posts segment. This is a section where peoples' funniest quotes on prof evals are selected for viewers to read. Some of them are absolutely ingenious, and I recommend at least visiting that particular part of the site. Out of simple curiosity I decided to check and see if any of my professors had been evaluated and was disappointed to find out that although one of my instructors was evaluated, there was only one other evaluation of a professor f rom CSUSM. My hope is that with this article, this trend will change, so log on and offer an evaluation for a professor that you feel strongly about, whether it is positive or negative.

Looking at the history of America, civil liberties are often a victim of war. To better understand the threat that war poses to civil liberties, it is important to review civil liberties in the past wartimes of America. In 1798, only, 10 years after the ratification of the Constitution, America entered the Quasi War with France and passed the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. Among other laws, the acts made it illegal to protest a^ains| the a<&riînistîïtion's policy, a direct violation of the f irst Amendment.

The Espiona|e Act of 1917, which was passed during World War I, allowed for the prosecution of 2,000 people, convicting 1,000 of them. When ratified in 1918, it forbade opposition to the war by banning "disloyal utterances Such utterances included "unpatriotic" conversation.

Yet swelling enrollments among low-income and working class families, massive state budget cuts, and rising tuition continue to strain our ability to ensure access to a college education for all Americans," said Representative George Miller, the Senior Democrat on the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Miller, a Democrat from California, introduced two higher education bills to the House Committee in Washington on Mar. 18, 2003, known as the College Affordability and Lifetime Savings Act and the College Opportunity for a Better America Act. According to the official remarks made by Miller at the presentation to the House of Representatives, the College Affordability and Lifetime Savings Act proposes to help ease the burden of student loan debt for millions of Americans. The act will possibly change the current student loan tax deduction benefit to a tax credit - which will deliver a larger rebate on the interest paid on student loans to borrowers. The savings for the typical borrower who is earning $20,000 a year will more than triple to $347 in theirfirstyear of repayment. The Department of Education has reported that 7 million students are expected to take out federal student loans to cover the costs of their education this year alone.

She also added, "I wish [suicide] didn't exist. But it does and it's a growing problem." Rivera said that the actual statistics for suicide are much higher than reported because police won't label a death a suicide unless there's clear evidence, such as a suicide note, that the death was intentional. But other statistics about suicide are clear and alarming. Eleven young people, between the ages of 15 and 24, die by suicide every day in this country. Since 1990, there has been a 120 percent increase in suicides in students between the ages of 10 and 14 years old. "Suicide is an equal opportunity killer," said Rivera. It is not particular to one race or socio-economic group. But, Rivera said, "Suicide is not about death and not about dying - it's about ending the pain." Some signs that someone may be considering suicide are: Depression or withdrawal Changes in sleeping or eating habits Giving away possessions Acute perfectionism Listening to music about death Hostile or reckless behavior fall, which will train Peer Education and If someone is exhibiting Support (PEAS) counselors these behaviors, Rivera says, and Resident Assistants a friend can help by listening, (RAs) in the new dorms. offering empathy, and giving CSUSM will be thefirstcola friend the hope that alterna- lege in the area to introduce tives to suicide are available. and implement the program.

The National Center for Education statistics reported that the estimated need for teachers in the United States will be more than 2 million new teachers over the next 10 years. In a recent report, the American Hospital Association found that there is a national shortage of 126,000 nurses; just as the number of nursing school graduates decreased by 29 percent between 1995 and 2001. In addition, the number of unfilled child welfare specialists is rising; while the nation's childcare programs are suffer high staff turnover, driven by poor compensation. With the combination of higher tuition, state budget cuts, and secondary education being the minimum education needed for higher income careers, the two bills that have been presented stand to offer a break for students who need a little extra help to complete their goals of a college education or a career in public service. Shems performed a piece entitled "Role Reputations. Resistance. Being Wonder Woman in Today's Society" as she approached issues of a woman's identity in U.S. society by matching images of herself, as daughter, child, and friend, with related terms such as submissive, witch, and skank. She also used music as another way to express her dissatisfaction about the way women are represented or treated in our society, by describing the likes of Wendy 0 . Williams, Blondie and Gwen Stefani with terms like "twat," "slut" and "goody goody." The evening's last performance, "Monster Grrrl," was performed by a brilliantly blue haired Schaffman as she flailed energetically about the classroom, flopping on tabletops like a fish out of water, and flashing the "Women Rights" manual to her audience. This and many other unique and interesting events were held on campus this month. "It is a wonderful opportunity to honor all those women before us and today (including those fictitious characters!) who have worked and continue to pave the way for equal rights," said Schaffman. A panel made up of the three performers gave closure to the evening, as the audience was encouraged to ask questions and engage with the current discussion of Women's History Month and Women's rights. The topics addressed included the role models of the three women, which included mothers, grandmothers, female artists, and earlier "girl power" movements in history as well as the reasons each woman gave for being active in such an ambitious cause. When rapper Goldstein was asked about her f uture goals as an artist she responded, "Being Miss Liberty is all about creating change and I plan on doing it one rap at a time."

Woosley has commented that the U.S. is not as intrusive as it could be. He believes that Americans "are going to have to make some other hard choices, as time goes on, about reconciling civil liberties and security, and realizing that, while we wish they didn't conflict in a war, they do."

Estos soldados han dado la vida por un país que muchas veces se les ha negado como propio por no haber nacido aquí o por ser hijo de Los "mojados", los que vienen a quitarnos los trabajos, inmigrantes. los "welfereros", los que no hablan inglés, los high-school dropouts. Estas son algunas de las maneras que muchas Dos de estos latinos han recibido la ciudadanía personas en este país usan para referirse a los latinos y estadounidense póstuma a su muerte ya que ambos estalatinas, o como ellos dicen a los hispanos.

Sin embargo, lo que muchas conflicto entre Irak y Estados Unidos ha demostrado todo personas no terminan de entender es que para estos sollo contrario a estas creencias o mitos pero sobre todo ha dados la ciudadanía ya se había alcanzado en el corazón, puesto en descubierto la realidad de muchos de los latinos aunque tal vez no para aquellos que necesitan verificar la que vivimos en este país, que es ante todo también nuestro validez de algo en un pedazo de papel. país. De acuerdo con el San Diego Union-Tribune, los latinos Soldados en el ejército estadounidense como Aarón J. están sobrerepresentados en las líneas de combate en la Contreras, Rubén Estrella Soto, George A.

También cabe mencionar que entre los prisionedados que hasta el día de hoy han fallecido representando ros de guerra se encuentra una soldado panameña. Pese a a este país. La única diferencia entre ellos y otros solda- esto, muchas personas en esta nación siguen pensando que dos es que muchos de ellos ni siquiera son ciudadanos los latinos solo vienen a este país a tomar algo, a llevarse americanos. Un simple certificado de papel verificando algo, pero como ya se ha demostrado esto no es cierto. su ciudadanía estadounidense no fue requerido por ellos Se ha demostrado que es todo lo contrario. Los latinos a ga ns también dan su vida como cualquier ciudadano americano por representar a los Estados Unidos. Es tanto el amor y dedicación que muchos inmigrantes le tienen a este país que sin importar si son ciudadanos legalmente o no, están dispuestos a darlo todo por recibir tan poco a cambio. Digo tan poco a cambio porque las fuerzas armadas ni siquiera pueden ayudar a algunos de los familiares de estos héroes latinos á pagar por su funeral. El dinero dedicado a pagar por los funerales de los caídos es tan solo una parte de los gastos del funeral, es un poco más de la mitad de lo que se necesita. Dicha medida ha forzado a algunos familiares de los soldados fallecidos a verse en una situación difícil por la falta de dinero para pagar por un funeral. ¿Acaso el valor de sus vidas es tan poco que ni siquiera se ha destinado un fondo monetario para enterrarlos decentemente? ¿Acaso se necesita dar algo más que la propia vida para que el gobierno y sus instituciones del ejército puedan reconocer la gran labor de estos muchachos que han muerto luchando por representar a su país? En lo personal, no puedo encontrar una respuesta para justificar esto que está pasando. Mientras tanto la lucha sigue y la lista de latinos y de soldados en general fallecidos en combate sigue y seguirá aumentando. Entre más destrucción se haga en Irak, más reparaciones tendrán que hacerse. Así que Estados Unidos tendrá mucho trabajo que hacer los meses siguientes después delfinde la guerra y por supuesto muchos millones de dólares que gastar para reparar lo que sus bombas y armas hayan destruido en el lejano país. Ya que después del daño hecho entraran a reparar lo destruido. Irónicamente, mientras se gastarán miles de dólares haciendo reparaciones a los daños hechos por este mismo, Estados Unidos no tendrá suficiente dinero para enterrar a los que murieron luchando en la tierra de las reparaciones. Ni siquiera de esta manera tan insignificante se les puede agradecer a aquellos soldados caídos que fueron ordenados a luchar por algo que quizás muchos de ellos nunca entendieron. Mientras tanto, los familiares de los soldados muertos seguirán no sólo buscando una explicación a la muerte de sus seres queridos pero preguntándose si tan enorme sacrificio valió la pena. Que en paz descansen todos los soldados que han muerto en la guerra. Su valentía, amor, y sacrificio siempre serán admirados y recordados. ¡Gracias de todo corazón! ¡Gracias a los soldados ciudadanos de corazón!

Seeing The Pride student newspaper first hand suffer the effects of the lack of advertising and funding, many questions entered my head, but one overshadowed the others. Is it the university's alcohol policy not to let The Pride student newspaper advertise happy hours at restaurants and bars, drink specials on college nights at dance clubs, and alcohol in general? If this is so, why is it that Rick Moore, Director of the Office of Communications which puts out "In the Loop" every week, allows student organizations to advertise their social events at restaurant bars? According to Rick Moore, he does not want students at Cal State San Marcos to be perceived in this light (As barflies),so why does put out these social gatherings which encourage students to stay after 8 P.M. for karaoke. Are these student organizations getting special permission from the president's office to do this? What about Cougar night at Zip & Zack's? I am not against having social gatherings at restaurant bars, on the contraiy, I am all for it. But I am against university administration giving The Pride rules on what kind of advertisements they should have when they are not following it themselves.

Audiences have been bombarded with images of destruction congruent with the American view of military superiority over those we hunt, thus providing viewers a sense of continuity and leaving them with a sentiment of pride for their homeland. Not taking into account issues of morality or public opinion, the combination of first-rate technology and the "real" element of this war appear to have captured America's attention. The cast of the most extravagant show in television history also proves to be rather impressive, as they have given life to an otherwise run-of-the-mill example of a military shellacking. The hero, our not so articulate Commander in Chief, has utilized his speech writers to their utmost potential by offering a stream of mouth watering one-liners worthy of Emmy nominations (if there were such a category), to the thousands of journalists worldwide who hang on his every word. In contrast, the villain, Saddam Hussein, has slithered away into the dark underbelly of his outwardly malevolent regime, again awaiting his chance to resurface and claim more blameless souls. The ever-steely Donald Rumsfeld plays the Secretary of Defense, and is giving the performance of his career, while Ollie North, most commonly known for his role as the victimized pawn in the Iran Contra Hearings, has returned to the stage in a supporting but nonetheless stirring role as the stoic Colonel in thefield.Even the media itself has taken part in the global melodrama by providing mediators like the antagonistic Bill O'Reilly, hunky Shepard Smith, and the always-steamy Greta Van Susteren.

Many stories have been held back from staff writers because of the lack of funding. Why can't the same rules apply for The Pride newspaper and "In the Loop" when it comes to advertising? Going this route would give some power to The Pride over what is published and what is not. There are many bars and restaurants in San Marcos and The Pride student newspaper, along with the bars themselves, could definitely benefit from having their business; especially next fall when Cai State San Marcos transforms itselffroma commuter school into a 24-hour campus. I believe with the changing environment going on at Cai State San Marcos there should also be a change in the university's primitive alcohol policies.

They have been very helpful and hopefully we will see a change in the Pride's restrictions sometime in the near future. Stay tuned for further updates. So the war has action, intrigue and an extraordinary plot, complete with effects that would give George Lucas wet dreams. Add this to the fact that it is brought to life by a gifted cast, and by Hollywood standards, you've got a winner. In almost every respect it's the perfect show. That's right, I said almost. There are two key criticisms that any true fan of high drama could unearth with without much difficulty. First of all the name of the war itself is somewhat lackluster. George Bush Sr.'s war was called Operation Desert Storm. Now that was a powerful name for a military campaign. Operation Iraqi Freedom is uninspired and just doesn't do it for me. How about Operation Finish What We Started Twelve Years Ago? That I could get behind. And the second criticism is that it's just not sexy enough. Every show on television that is "all the rage" is centered around sex. Let's face it. Sex sells, and without it how is the war supposed to compete with shows like Blind Date, The Fifth Wheel and VIP1 Yes, we all have a right to our opinions, and we have a right to speak those opinions freely.

By all traditional definitions, conservatism means cautious, moderate, or disposed to preexisting establishments, institutions and norms. Simply put, being a conservative means not wanting to "rock the boat" for the sake of stability. Understanding this, all media, except for independent media (both left and right), is conservative. ABC, NBC, FOX, CNN, etc. all broadcast to vast segments of the American public — to people with extremely diverse backgrounds and opinions. Because of sponsorship, advertisements, and for the sake of ratings* these companies very shrewdly avoid pressing any extreme opinion (right or left), as they do not want to alienate viewers. In this sense, the media is neither left nor right, but strategically moderate because they do not want to "rock the boat." This is the argument of a conservative media: the industry chooses not to side with any particular cause; therefore, by definition the media is very conservative. Labeling the media as conservative is not necessarily a pejorative term though. It is simply stating that the industry is limiting the scope of discussion and the facts or viewpoints presented (left or right). Media bias is a two-way street. My second point I wanted to raise is your fear of liberalism of which I will try to assuage. As opposed to conservatism (favoring the status quo), liberalism seeks to press the frontiers of social progress. I assure you, liberals are not "Pinko Commie Socialists," they are people just like you and me. However, rather than embracing the status quo, they challenge it in hopes of a more positive future. The history of the United States is rife with such examples. The. American Revolution: a small minority of the colonial population decided that they had had enough and it was time to part with England. Their defiance gave us our independence. In the early 1800s, a pestering group of liberals waged a 30+-year campaign to end the horrid practice of slavery. In the late 1800s, the working man demanded his rights against the evils of unrestrained business; they gave us labor unions, eighthour days, overtime, workman's compensation, etc. After nearly an entire century of agitation and civil disobedience, women procured suffrage with the 19th Amendment. In the 1960s we witnessed the Civil Rights movement for racial equality, feminism, and anti-Vietnam protests. Now it's a struggle for gay rights. Even larger is the movement against war with Iraq. None of these movements were AntiAmerican, even though every single one of them was labeled as such. Without & doubt, the men and women overseas risk their lives to defend our freedom, but we cannot forget, or simply ignore, where these freedoms came from in thè first place. We need each other. That is the beauty of democracy: we may not see eye to eye, but together we make it work. liberalism for communism, and conservatism for fascism. Your level of fanaticism against progress rivals that,of the Middle Eastern Fundamentalism and is quite disturbing. There is a large difference from being a conservative and being right wing, and frankly, fascism at home scares me more than terrorism from abroad. If you are so concerned about PAN, you should stop by a meeting; the door is always open. Until then, stop with the witty clichés and clever quips and pretend to be an educated student. It is quite sad when Communication majors cannot conduct a civil discussion. Stephen Schultz Senior, History In sum, you have mistaken M edical M arijuana R esponse Dear Editors, Dear FHitrwc Recently, I read your article on Medical Marijuana. I found it interesting that California passed a proposition for the growing of marijuana for patients that need it for medical purposes. I think this is wonderful because of all of the sick people that can really use something to make them feel better. However, this adds "to my concern as to whether or not these sick patients may be adding to the growing population of young Americans using marijuana T « today. I can't «elp but, wonder h« « whether or not the reason why children are using marijuana today is because they have such easy access to it. This access is either through a loved one or someone they know that is growing it or using it on a daily basis. I am not saying that since terminally ill patients are able to grow this product, then they are going to give it out to everyone that they know. However, I qannot help but wonder why it is so easy for young Americans to get this product. "* . ... .. are others around that can easily get a hold of it and use it for their own purposes, that's when things need to change. I care very much about those that are going through great amounts of pain and suffering, however I don't think that they should be able to grow this plant in their own house. I think that doctors should set up labs where patients can go and smoke as much marijuana as they think they need in the doctor's presence. This in turn would probably cut down on the amount of kids and teenagers getting a hold of Growing marijuana for medical marijuana make it easier on adults reasons is okay, but when there to help these children get away from this problem: the best treatment that they can get. It only seems logical that if marijuana is the answer, then that is what they would want. Giving them the right to grow marijuana in their own homes is putting a lot of trust not only to the patients, but to others as well. I think that these patients should be allowed to smoke this plant of their own free will, however I believe that it should be done in the presence of doctors. Even though patients are allowed to grow small amounts of marijuana in their homes, it seems logical that they would want to keep this product out of reach for someone they either know or love very deeply. The number of kids that are addicted to this drug is outrageous and by allowing patients to grow their own marijuana, we are pretty much allowing these children to become addicted. Jennifer Fry Freshman, Biology In conclusion, I would just like t a say that these patients deserve Another Response to Commie Slackjaws Dear Editors: we want it to or not. It's human nature.

Everything any of us says is her undergrad work at a much going to have a bias to it, whether larger university, I cannot speak In this time of uncertainty for the United States, .it seems almost frivolous to be discussing sports. However* as a prominent American institution, ^sports are profoundly affected by major international events, such as the war with Iraq. Interesting questions have arisen, not about the content of the games, but about whether the games should even be played. The leaders of all the sports currently in-season, which include college basketball, professional basketball, hockey, and baseball, have given serious and well-publicized thought to this issue, but thus far have all decided to let the games be played as scheduled. First and foremost, if sporting events were to be cancelled, we would be letting the enemy further affect our way of life. Whether or not you personally are a sports fan, there is no doubt that sports play an intricate role in the lives of many Americans. By changing our traditions, whether it is through postponing sports or anything else, we essentially bring the war home. That's not to say we shouldn't show our support (or opposition) for the war, nor does it mean we should avoid tributes to the soldiers who fight for us; we simply need to draw the line between proper and unnecesIn my opinion, this is the right sary.

Kyle Trembley Freshman, Prebusiness �Things You Need to Know About NAFTA Dear Editors: I am a freshman at the university who is very concerned with how little students know about the insulting fiasco that is NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Students should know about the oppression that NAFTA causes. The area that the agreement affects most is Latin America. Albeit trade is way up from seven years ago, there are many problems that result from this. In no way does the lowered prices of goods from increased competition make up for all the job losses that emerged from NAFTA, not to mention all the environmental damages and social dislocation. NAFTA supporters believe that the agreement assists Mexico's economy drasti- cally, but they do not know that the nation was already liberalizing its economy for the better before the United States unnecessarily stepped in. They did this by beginning to invest in foreign goods and dropping tariffs. It's hard to tell whether the Mexican economy would be any better or worse today if NAFTA had not been agreed upon. During the United States debate over whether or not to pass NAFTA, pro-NAFTA economists proposed that there would be thousands of new jobs per 1$ billion in trade surplus, obviously assuming that the United States' exports would explode with a huge increase. However, when the peso crisis launched Mexico into a recession, bringing the U.S. trade into deficit with it (the nation's exports surpassed that of its imports), U.S. job losses nearly reached the hundred thousand mark. It turns out that Clinton's and Bush's proposed numbers about x number of jobs being created by x number of billion dollars was based upon guesses rather than proof The massive amount of layoffs caused by NAFTA is indisputable. In the U.S., nearly 150,000 laborers were eligible for NAFTA's Transitional Adjustment Assistance Program in 1997, yet only five percent of them actually received any assistance or benefits from the program. Generally speaking, laid off U.S. workers earn a much lower average commission after they find a new job. While the loss of jobs in the U.S. is easy to recognize, Mexico's workers have also been losing jobs significantly under NAFTA. This is because it became much more difficult for laborers to unionize after NAFTA was passed. Companies usually threaten to close down part of their business after attempts at unionizing occur in their facilities, andfifteenperated agricultural competicent of businesses did in tion with the U.S. has crefact close down at least part ated a disturbing amount of of their company after their poverty and suffering for employees unionized.

John Clayton Freshman, A Response From a "Pinko Commie Socialist" As a member of PAN, I could not resist the urge of responding to a letter, which is full of insults and slurs (pinko commie socialist, pothead, brainwashed, uneducated, shut your slack jawed mouths), written by someone who actually does not deserve to be taken into account. However, for the sake of clarifying a few things for those who read the opinion titled "Slack Jawed" written by Anna Hall, I decided to write this letter. First of all, I cannot understand why you are so angry with PAN? Why is it so hard for you to accept the fact there are people out there do think different than you do? What happened to democracy, free speech and freedom to have different opinions? Did you come and try to talk to one of us? I have a solution though. I challenge you to a political debate. We can talk about any ideology, any thinker, or any writer. It would be a pleasure for me to hear your criticisms of Karl Marx and his works since you sound like you know what you are talking about in regards to Marx and Marxist theories. I would be delighted to hear your disagreements of the Communist Manifesto or The Capital. If you wish, we can discuss conservatives and conservative ideologies: Adam Smith, Francis Fukuyama, William Saffire, Paul Wolfowitz? You pick. How about Islamic fundamentalism and Sayyid Qutb? Would you prefer to talk about Jerry Falwell and Christian Reconstruction theories? We can go way back and discuss Plato, Aristotle, St. Augustin. How about we discuss the emergence of contemporary political ideologies since the enlightenment from Weber to Kant, Sartre to Rousseau, Hobbes to Locke, Mussolini to Lenin? If your argument is that PAN members are illiterate about politics and political ideologies and brainwashed by only reading Karl Marx, I challenge you to come and have a political debate with me, serious offer. A person who is capable of insulting, should also be capable of putting out an argument to back those insults. Maybe after that you will learn your lesson about not judging and insulting people you don't even know. Forget about Marx, I bet you don't even know the difference between Communism and Socialism. Since elementary school we're pushed to succeed, to go to college, and succeed there. And we're told that we need a degree to succeed. I've been attending CSUSM since the fall of 2002. Since then, tuition has gone up and parking fees have more than doubled. And they continue to increase. Society looks at the lower class and blames their financial problem is due to the lack of education. How are they supposed to attend a higher education system without the money? Sure now there are scholarships, but now the middle class is the ones who see higher education as a financial burden. They're too rich to qualify for most scholarships yet too poor to be able to pay for the cost themselves without starching a penny here and there. To get rich we must study, but to study we must be rich. In no way am I completely blaming CSUSM for the tuition increase, but for the parking fee increase and the ones yet to come, those words will be left unsaid. Sure I can write the governor or any other government official and wait months, if at that, for a response, but one voice is never as strong as hundreds or thousands. As for the parking increase, it was said that there was a window of opportunity to discuss the matter. I remember hearing about the meeting an hour before it was supposed to start. Great notice. Some of us have class that can't be missed, exams, or even work. The majority of students can't just drop everything in an hour. If something this important is up in the air for discussion a good amount of notice (say a week or more) should be given, as well as notification of the discussion throughout campus. Because of the outrageous parking fees, students are taking risk by packing in the shopping area, and soon in near by neighborhoods (that are nearly a mile away from campus). At least than we won't have to worry about students not getting enough exercise! Concerning the tuition, I'm not fighting for no fees, but at least a sensible one. For students there's three possible ways of dealing with tuition: pay it yourself, scholarships, or student loans. I can see how paying it yourself at a community college, but at a four-year it's stress. Do I have enough, what other bills will I not be able to pay, how many extra hours must I work? Scholarships, to me personally seem to be confusing. For the vast majority, just to qualify we have to be Have a nice day and do not miss Bill O'Reilly tonight. With most sincere regards Civan Erman Gokcimen Senior, Political Science One last point: I know this is Higher Education is Not Cheap Dear Editors: going to disappoint you but your letter did not offend me or upset me at all. I just had a big smile on my face when I read it. Obviously, 3 years of college is not enough for some people to get out of Junior High behavior poor, of a minority, have good grades, be involved in school some how, and have racked up community service hours. And loans! It's the easiest at the ftioment thing to do, but jafter that it seems that you're getting your pay back for years after. The rates of tuition should be the same always, increasing discourages future students from applying to a four-year school. Our society stresses students to achieve high education, yet makes it a great expense that can't be obtained, and on top of that continues to raise the cost. If the governor or a government official builds his campaign on what society values essential - education - he or she should increase the quality, not the price.

There have been days when I am so tired of driving around looking for a parking spot, that I just want to leave but it seems every time that happens, I end up seeing someone leave so I find a parking spot.

The debate was held to discuss the different aspects of the war, f rom both a conservative and a liberal perspective. The event was mediated by each of the College Republicans and PAN presidents, Sean Mattingly and Manal Yamout respectively. Each organization supplied one speaker to debate the war. Shawn Steel, a lawyer and former chairman of the California Republican Party represented the sentiments of the College Republicans. Sean Bell, veterans advocate and vice president of the San Diego Veterans for Peace, chapter 91, spoke on the behalf of PAN. Bell is also a former marine who served actively in 1990-1994, including time in Iraq. shouting and name-calling at both speakers. Steel commented that the protestors had a "complete separation from reality" and a "hatred of America." Several students yelled back "Who hates America?" In response to the question, "Why has this war inspired the biggest anti-war movement?" Steel responded that is was not anti-war but "pro-tyranny." A student yelled that the debate was a "travesty, [that] students should be speaking, [and that] there [was] too much control." Both Mattingly and Yamout repeatedly asked the audience to be respectful, but it was often out of their control. The speakers did not always disagree. Bell commented on anti-war speeches given by former Presidents James Madison and Dwight Eisenhower, to which Steel conceded that they were appropriate references. They also agreed that questioning the government was not anti-patriotic. Bell said that a "government left unquestioned is not a The audience, which democracy," and that it is the numbered well over 100 and duty of an American citizen to at times grew to 300, was question. Steel agreed, saying, invited to submit questions "I've questioned authority my to the mediators. Over half whole life; I'm a Republican." of the questions asked during He also commented that he the debate were from the cherished the rights given by audience. the First Amendment of the Constitution. There was an obvious division within the audience. Bell repeatedly urged Throughout the debate there the audience to question was often booing in the everything, including both midst of applause as well as See WAR DEBATE, page 2 By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer During the 1930's, Nazis burned the works of famous intellectuals in an attempt to keep their words and thoughts from corrupting the citizenry. It has been 70 years since this infamous book-burning, but book burnings still occur in this country on rare occasions, one of the most recent taking place in January of 2002 when the Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico, burned Harry Potter books and some of Shakespeare's works, claiming that they were "satanic depictions." Book burning was more effective before the days of mass printing, and is currently used primarily as a shock tactic. In the age of mass media, suppression of the actual text has been much more common. Using legal means to suppress a book began with the Comstock Act of 1873. Local and state censorship boards had their own obscenity laws, regulating their own punishments and standards, which applied to books, devices, and films. » —•• | In 1957, the Supreme Court declared that if a work of art had significant social value, it was not obscene. The case was revisited in 1960, when the Court added that it was necessary to censor material "lacking in social value" or that was "no essential part of the exposition of ideas." This vague language has allowed censors to declare texts obscene and not defensible by the First Amendment. Schools and public libraries often ban books with questionable content that they consider obscene. In the interest of protecting minors, local school boards have authority in deciding whether or not a work is obscene in their district. In the decentralized educational system, small but vocal groups are able to influence boards and administrators. After the implication of the Pico standard in 1975, where a high school student took his school board to court for banning a book, school boards are allowed to ban works based on vulgar content, but not for subversive ideas. When presenting the case for banning a book, pressure groups have to be careful to attack the work's content, not its ideas.

There are a total of 2,781 cases of SARS worldwide, with 170 possible cases reported currently in the United States and 37 suspected cases in California. Currently the virus has claimed 111 lives worldwide, but no deaths have been reported in the United States. In San Diego there has been one possible case of SA«B. The San Diego County Public Health Services (PHS) announced on April 7 that they were investigating a possible case of SARS in a woman who had been in China recently, and whose name remains anonymous in order to protect her privacy, is now isolated until her symptoms subside and the test results are confirmed. As of April 9, the PHS reported that the woman's condition has improved and that there are no signs of a fever at this point.

Symptoms and signs Book Burners Two of the most recent attempts to ban a book show the struggle against the Pico standard. In 2002, Parents Against Bad Books (PABBIS) in Fairfax, Virginia, attempted to ban the historical novel Gates ofFire. The book was attacked as having violence, profanity and sadism. It is set during the war between Greece and Troy and aimed at older teenagers. The Fairfax County school board voted to retain the book as an accurate depiction of ancient warfare. Early in 2003, the Harry Potter books were banned in school libraries in Cedarville, Arkansas. The review board claimed the books promoted magic and witches and taught that "parents/teachers/rules are stupid and something to be ignored." The case is currently in court, with the defense arguing that the board banned the book for promotion of different ideas. S tu dent s can get information on Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) at the Student Health Service website, www.csusm.edu/shs.

When asked if a special interest group, such as a student organization or a major donor, had ever asked that a book be banned, Stengel said he was unaware of any such request. "We would take any such request seriously as an opportunity to discuss what we do and why," he added, "Which is not to say we would agree to remove the book." Another recent challenge to the Pico standard was the Children's Internet Protection Act. The law, which was proposed at the federal level, required all libraries receiving federal funding to install Internet filters, devices made by private companies which block access to certain sites. Proponents of the law claimed it would prevent children from viewing obscene material in schools and libraries. Opponents stressed that filtering software was notoriously unreliable, blocking adult's access to constitutionally protected material. They also argued that the act would force adults to read at a child's level. The law passed in Congress in December of 2000. Currently, the ALA and the American Civil Liberties Union are challenging the law. Among the most frequently banned books in public school libraries as of early 2003 are The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling, for their focus on magic and their anti-authoritarianism; the Alice series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual content; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou for racism, sexual content and language; and the Captain Article Three of the ALA's Bill of Rights says that librarUnderpants series by David Pilkey for "encouraging children ies should work with other groups to challenge censorship.

The American Comparative Literature Association (ACLA) annual meeting on April 4-6 was the largest conference that Cal State San Marcos has ever hosted. Approximately 700 scholars from various academic disciplines across the world met at San Marcos to present and hear each other's papers surrounding the ACLA theme for 2003, "Crossing Over." CSUSM scholars included seven graduate students from three different departments and eleven faculty members from four different departments.

Comparative Literature is interdisciplinary study throughout a mixture of different academic disciplines, which includes literatures,film,histories, politics, psychology, and philosophy, where texts are studied in their original languages. Comparative Literature as an institutional discipline is about David Damrosch spoke on Saturday evening, April 5, at VSAR 240 in a lecture entitled "The Road of Excess: Comparative Literature at a Double Crossroad" about the ways in which translations of texts into English in the U.S. politicize and reveal attitudes towards people from other countries. Damrosch also noted that three-fifths of the conference papers this year had focused on the last 50 years of the 20th century and reminded the audience that older subject matter departments called "Literature" - be it Dante or Chaucer - i n the original language. In the Late 19th Century, universities changed and English-only departments began to pop up. According to CSUSM Professor Heather Richardson Hayton, the important benefits of ACLA at Cal State San Marcos is that it offers national recognition, See COMPARATISTS, page 4 Sponsored by: Cal State San Marcos Career and Assessment Center, Enterprise Rent~A~Car, GEICO Direct, North County Inland and Coastal Career Centers, and San Marcos Chamber of Commerce J OB & R E S O U R C E FM 2Q0&\ Tuesday, A p r & M W 12 h 4 : 0 0 f n i In the past, the conference took place on the likes of such campuses as Notre Dame and Yale, but in the late Fall 2000, a bid was placed for San Marcos and the association had agreed. This past ACLA meeting was the first time this event had ever taken place at a California State University. The keynote speakers for the event were Mark Poster from UC Irvine and David Damrosch, a Columbia professor and the ACLA's outgoing president.

In Europe, the studies of literature were known as "Philology" and only done in literature departments.

Part 2: The Administration By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer The quest for knowledge as to the history and idea of a potential pub at CSUSM continues. A small percentage of a powerful and growing student voice has been expressed thus far, and now the issue becomes clearer as the administration of CSUSM answers the question: Where's The Booze? CSUSM Senior Director for Health, Counseling, and Disability Services Susan Mitchell was more than delighted to help answer this question. She noted that the San Marcos campus is by no means a dry campus. In fact, with proper approval, beer and wine may be served on campus. In addition, the new student housing will not have a prohibition on alcohol. There is, however, a long list of rules that accompany these allowances. Policy states that alcohol consumption is allowed in student housing, as long as the person is at least 21 years old. In addition, large quantities of alcohol may not be brought into the housing. These large quantities pertain mostly to kegs of beer. How the school plans make a judgment on large quantities of hard alcohol and wine is somewhat of a mystery. The school policy for alcohol consumption on campus differs dramatically from the student housing policy. Alcohol consumption by anyone on the CSUSM campus is prohibited, even if the person is 21 years of age. The exception to this rule is if alcohol is being served at a social, cultural, or educational related, that is a school sponsored function, and with approval from the president's office. Approval for consumption of alcohol at such an event must be requested at least four weeks in advance. There also must be approval for the use of facilities, along with approval from several different administrative offices. Even then, only beer and wine may be served, and it must be served by a properly licensed distributor or catering service. Although Mitchell provided excellent information on issues relating to alcohol within educational institutions, she also found herself stumped as to why there is no pub on the San Marcos campus. She offered the suggestion that a pub may have never been suggested by anyone, up to this point. A fter a lengthy interview with Mitchell, she summed up her feelings on the topic by saying, "It's not so much However, the main point that I am against a pub, but remains that CSUSM is not it would take some cona dry campus.

He did, however, express confidence when saying that he believed that the idea of a pub has never been formally suggested. Instead he believed that it has been a topic that has been surfacing in conversations around the campus from time to time, but never taken beyond that. Community perceptions of CSUSM, campus safety, drunken driving, and the learning environment that may be affected by a pub, have all been suggested as reasons why Cal State San Marcos has no pub. However, the best answer that could be provided was that the idea of a pub has never been formally suggested. Whether or not a pub is something that students would like to see at CSUSM is debatable. What is clear, is that formally suggesting the idea is the first step, and may be the only way to fully answer the question: "Where's The Booze?"

Thus not every one wanted to go to Iraq and MILITARY fight. C ONCERN D ON'T ABUSE YOUR F REEDOMS I was pleased at the overwhelming turnout of students at the April 9th war debate sponsored by the College Republicans and PAN. The event was very well organized and for the most part ran smoothly. Unfortunately, there were some people who chose to disrupt the assembly by inappropriately shouting out rude, personal, and unfair comments, as well as obscene gestures to Mr. Steel. As Americans, we have the right to speak freely, but this does not mean that we have the right to use abusive speech or encroach and trample on other people's rights. While I must commend the majority of the liberals attending the event for not participating in such immature tactics, I also find it interesting that the only individuals who chose to act in such a manner were the very same people who advocated for "peace." But then it was just last week that Sen. Kerry, a Democrat advocator of peace, said that the U.S. also needs a "regime change," which by definition involves forcibly removing a dictator from power. While the "corporate media" is quick to show protesters in the streets of New York or San Francisco, the truth is that 78 percent of Americans support the war with Iraq, and 69 percent of Americans approve of the way Bush is conducting the war (4/03/03, Opinion Dynamics Poll). Since these abusive words of treason came from a Democratic presidential candidate, it really is no surprise that liberals on campus would follow the example of this country's left wing leadership, and encroach on Mr. Steel's rights. Your words and actions spoke louder than the "peaceful" protest signs of your movement, and you truly showed the true character of the bleeding heart liberal. Today, Iraqi's rejoiced in the streets of Baghdad at the toppling of Saddam's statue, and the end of Saddam's evil, tyrannical regime. May God bless the now free people of Iraq, as much as He has Dear Editors: that the Iraqi regime might hold against us? What are our soldiers dying for? Sure 82 casualties doesn't compare to the previous wars Americans have fought in, but that is still 82 dead people and counting, and thousands more lives of friends and family that have been drastically affected. I know that many people join the military for lots of reasons, many of which don't include protecting the country, like benefits, a stable pay check, to make something out of their lives, to travel, to get financial help to go to school through the G.L Bill, and as a way out from any pressure at home. Soldiers are owned, which is why they're called military property; their job comes first no matter what, and they don't have much of a say in it either. One can argue that even if our first motive for the war wasn't to disarm Saddam, it is still our motive to free the people from Saddam's tyranny and oppression. We have the ability and so it is our responsibility. That is a valid point. The people of Iraq have been oppressed by their own ruler and have the right to be free. Many Iraqis would want to live free and not under Saddam's regime. If we never find WMD then of course our motive is to free Iraq, but it wasn't like that in the first place. It' just funny how later on in the war the ideal of freeing Iraq was emphasized more than finding and destroying weapons of mass destruction. Dear Editors, Furthermore I can't help to feel bad for all the people I don't want to get into a who are going through whole discussion about troubles and upsets in Iraq. whether Americans should I do however have friends be supporting the war in in the military.

What not even as reporters or if the government was maintenance mechanics, wrong the whole time in that who have suffered more there was no present danger If this is the case, and our troops are not dying solely to defend national security, but to liberate the people of Iraq then what do we do with the rest of the world? If we liberate Iraq, then we must do the same for the countries if tyranny or dictatorship crops up. And evidently we are not. There are many places, like in Africa (specifically Congo), where the people have been oppressed by their government for decades. I would like to express my concern for those who have friends, family or some one special in Iraq. I'm sure every one has mixed feelings or opinions about the war itself as well as those who have their loved ones fighting the war. I myself don't have any family members in Iraq nor in the military but I can't help to think about those who do. I worry about the troops because I know they aren't all coming back safely, many families and Cynthia Tirado friends will mourn a loss. I Freshman, Undeclared particularly can sympathize with many people who feel afflicted by the war because NATIONAL I have mourned a loss, the SECURITY loss of my sister. So after this war, if we don't help other countries that are in a similar state like Iraq, then we would be hypocrites. And if we decide to be global police officers, then it would be hypocritical in a sense that are problems within our own country that are not being dealt with as best they could. These are just some of my views as an irrelevant civilian. Jordan Boone Freshman, Undeclared victim's mouth and asks, " How do you feel?" I give you ten guesses how the victim felt. I look forward to the change around the campus. I think the new on campus housing will bring a different atmosphere to the campus, making it become more alive. Having students on campus around the clock will also bring it to another level to make it feel more like a "real" Cal State campus. I sincerely believe that the news media is like any other business. It is in the business of making news to make money. It cannot function without the big time ads and subscription. The news media in general attempts to tell the truth and tell it like it is, but this is not necessary.

The Pride is currently operating as a class known as LTWR/COMM 316, and is staffed by students enrolled in the class, three paid student editors, and one paid graduate student intern. The graduate student intern position has been terminated, as the help supervise the larger student affairs budget can numbers of writers.. .bolster an editorial staff that often no longer support it. lacks experience with AP or journalist protocol, etc." Without the graduate intern position, The Pride Desmond Barca, design will not be able to operate in and photo editor for The the fall o f2003 at its current level, and the future for The Pride, also responded, Pride beyond that time "One of two things would is in question.

Additionally, without the graduate student intern position, the newspaper will have to operate without regular office hours.

For those who ask about the location of this place this is on the fourth floor of Craven Hall. It is the Career Assessment Center - a place that students may do well to know more about. The sign next to the door explicates that employment can be found within the walls of the Craven 4201 office. That is just the beginning. There are resources to the Career Assessment Center (CAC) that apply to every student, from freshman to senior. One helpful trait for students is that there is no charge for services. If employment is desired, students may check out the binders labeled OnCampus, Off-Campus, Non-Degree and Internships for several job opportunities. If contemplating graduate school, there is a library of information to read through. Some of the services the CAC offers are mock interviewing to prepare students for the real interview experience. Also in the center are handouts that deal with preparing cover letters, thank you letters, questions that can be asked during the interview, how to dress for a job interview, what to do if the interview goes well, and how to write an acceptance letter. Using the center's website at www.csusm.edu/ cac, students may select the Salary Survey link that shows how much of an income will be necessary in order to sustain a living in any state of the U.S. There is even information on how to handle the more difficult side of employment, that of being laid off or downsized. Seniors planning on moving to another state after graduation may utilize what is called "Relocation Resources" where a relocating graduate student can find "east coast jobs" or "southern jobs" depending on their destination. There is even an apartment rental relocation guide in order to three to four more critiques help find a place to live. on the resume if needed.

If paying a outside mined. professional for the same Since there is a deadline to having the resume ready for distribution, it is highly recommended and cannot be stressed enough that ample time is given to do resume critiquing services, the costs run anywhere from $50 to $85 an hour. If students did not use the center's service of distributing the resumes to some 50 companies that have signed up to be a part of the program and instead chose to use an agency, they would have the possibility of getting a lower income. Their future employer may pay off the agency out of their salary. For companies to be a part of the distribution, they have to sign up with the center. The CAC also offers a variety of workshops, such as "Get Registered and Get a Job," which teaches how to become a member to the Cougar Trak and gain access to online job listings, local and nationwide. There are also links such as Effective Interviewing, Resume Writing, How to Network, and Hot Tips for Job Fair Success to help students find employment. these types of interviews. There are also self-help computerized tests to show what type of personality a student has, which could help them figure out what type of work they would most enjoy. There is also literature on what type of job a student could get according to their major, so students interested in finding more about their majors or interested field can visit the center to obtain more information. The vast resources the Career Assessment Center holds are at the fingertips of all Cal State San Marcos students. They are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities.

Before The Pride, there was The Pioneer. As with many things in life, Cal State San Marcos's student newspaper had a predecessor. Now, after 10 years of The Pride's establishment, it's time to take a look back and see how all of this started. During the second year of CSUSM in 1990, the students got together to create their own student newspaper. The Pioneer was published for the first time in Sept. 4,1990. The first editor-in-chief was Larry Boisjolie. Boisjoilie together with Jonathan Young, assistant editor, were in charge of the paper until fall of 1992 and for the first time ever on May 14, 1991, the student's voice was published in color. The 11x13inch paper was published every two weeks on Tuesdays with an average of 16 pages. In the spring of 1993, Roman S. Koenig became the editor. Then during the next fall, Mary Zyterpakiewicz became the new editor in chief. The newspaper continued to be published every two weeks and had an average of 16 pages, but was published on Fridays. It was during that time that The Pioneer looked for a new name, in the You Name It issue, and a call was made to all the students to submit their suggestions. On the November 5 edition in 1993, The Pioneer became The Pride. The Pride was the winning name submitted by Koenig. According to the editorial published in that same edition, this name was chosen because it conveyed the pride in oneself, one's school, and one's community, as well as meaning a group of lions, which was appropriate because the campus location was the former home of the mountain lion. At the same time the new name was adopted, The Pride obtained an office in ACD 208 and their first phone number, which is the same of one of the two current offices, extension 4998. After that, Koenig shared the editorship with Zyterpakiewicz in the spring and fall of 1994. During this period, the paper was published every other Wednesday, and ranged from 8-12 pages. In the spring of 1995, Derek O. Smith became the editor-inchief. The paper was then published every Monday. However, in the fall of the same year, Koenig became once again the lead editor and the paper went back to being published every Wednesday. Nevertheless, some new things happened. The offices were moved to Academic Hall, room 14-324, the first fax number was given, an online-version of the paper was created, and there was an advisory panel of faculty and a staff of 6 people. Tony Barton, the editorin-chief during the following spring semester in 1996, had an advisory panel of 8 members. However, from the fall of 1996 until the spring of 1997, The Pride became an 11x17 inch tabloid size with 8 pages, and Tom Nolan, a professional journalist, became The Pride's only advisor. Then, in the spring of 1997 and the fall of 1998, the paper went back to its old 10xl2-inch size. David Johnson became the editor-in-chief and Nolan continued as the advisor. However, The Pride website went dormant. In the spring of 1999, The Pride essentially died, because no newspaper course was offered and therefore no support was given for the production of the paper that semester. However, because of the dedication and commitment of a few individuals, The Pride was reborn in the fall of 1999. The lead editors, Leiana Naholowaa and Samantha Cahill, together with literature and writing studies (LTWR) and women's studies professor Madeleine Marshall, who became the second advisor, reorganized the newspaper. The newspaper went back to its llxl7-inch size paper, and was published on Mondays. It was also basically put together in the Commons 201 office, which still is The Pride office today. A class listed as both LTWR 316 and communication (COMM) 316 was also created for writers who would help out with the production of the paper. This is how The Pride still works today. Also, the position of graduate intern was established, which allowed the requirement of the professor's signature to be became the advisor, she describes that, "In consultaeliminated. ; tion with each year's editors, Marshall mentioned the I select the editors for the reasons why she decided to following year - and bear get involved with the news- the responsibility for these paper.

Since May of last year, Naholowaa and Cahill also started The PLS (The Pride Literary Supplement) as a way to give the students an opportunity to publish their academic writing for the entire student community. The Pride has been under the leadership of Alyssa Finkelstein and Martha Sarabia. The paper has at times increased to 16 pages, and some editions have been in color. A Spanish section has been added, which spurred some controversy at the beginning, but nevertheless it is still part of the paper. Also, during this academic year, Design Editor Desmond Barca changed The PLS to more of a magazine-format with smaller, color pages, as opposed to the same size of the newspaper, as it was published before.

Student newspapers are one such tool. Students are interested in what their peers think, and The Pride is a good source for that information.

Even if writers don't plan to be journalists, there are many careers that require skills like writing persuasively, the ability to gather appropriate information on a deadline, the ability to ask good questions and know how to package answers, etc." Chambers also commented, "As a school in California, where student activism was born, Cal State San Marcos should have a strong commitment to free expression. On the surface, the excuse that the school needs to save money appears specious. It doesn't cost that much to publish a school newspaper, and the administration - if it is committed to the First Amendment - should support the paper every step of the way. I understand some administrators have been upset about the content of The Pride, and have tried to restrict what can and cannot be printed. They should read the law - the students make those decisions. If this 'budget cut' scheme winds up looking anything like retaliation for what The Pride printed, Cal State will be opening itself up to lawsuits to reinstate the paper."

The actions of the student affairs office, led by Vice President Francine Martinez and Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, have raised this fundamental question. Their answer should be troubling to everyone who values the free and open exchange of information, for the simple fact that a press is not free if it is expected to follow the agenda of those who hold its purse strings. Because of their decisions, the current state of The Pride is in serious question. Firstly, the higher ups have prohibited The Pride from selling ads to businesses that want to advertise any kind of alcoholic drink specials. Poullard stated that the words "happy" and "hour" should not be seen next to each other in any ad sold. Then Martinez said that using the phrase "happy hour" was acceptable as long as drinks weren't specifically mentioned, and that we are free to sell ads to companies that are in the business of exploitation i.e. strip clubs. work against promotion of alcoholism and under age drinking. This attitude is a farce. If the administration cares so much about protecting students from ourselves, why do they have an assortment of shot glasses for sale right on campus in our own bookstore? Cal State San Marcos is not a dry campus. Even the incoming dorm students will be permitted to drink in their homes, if of age. Explain the logic behind this policy. Regardless of the merits of attempting to limit underage drinking, it is not the administration's job to censor the primary student publication. If they want to launch an anti-drinking campaign, they should do like everyone else and purchase ad space. This action seriously cripples our abilities as a newspaper to grow and determine our own content. It is because of The Pride's reliance on the CSU system for financial funding that the administration thinks it can dictate what is printed on these pages. However, legally they cannot punish The Pride when the content does not meet their approval - this includes ALL Like most student newspapers, The CONTENT. Their policy of restricting a Pride was founded with the desire to bring significant portion of the papers revenue stream will retard its growth -perhaps this the campus population a publication by the students, for the students, and free is their goal. from the heavy-handed or self-serving pressures often exerted by administrators. We are in an institute of higher learning, not a daycare center! They claim to have a In the early days, admission to the class moral responsibility to the student body to required instructor permission, which aga It s resulted in having a small class size, which in turn suppressed productivity. There was little structure to the publication, sometimes going two to three weeks before turning out a new issue. Problems with generating ad revenue made reliance on the administration for financial assistance all the more crucial. We have come a long way since then. The Pride is now open to anybody who wants to take the course (communication 316 or literature and writing 316). We are a regular paper that turns out 2,500 copies per week and continues to increase our readership. The ability to generate and maintain enough ad revenue to move off campus and work independently of the CSU system would be the ideal way to ensure journalistic freedom. Though The Pride is not entirely self-sufficient, it is and has been the common goal to become so. Following the disagreement concerning The Pride's alcohol policy, the administrators decided to cut the graduate intern position. Though the events may be unrelated, this may prove to be the most devastating blow to The Pride yet. Leiana Naholowaa, the current graduate intern makes $3,500 per semester, which is paid for out of the office of Student Affairs. What makes the matter worse is that administrators have cut the position 'after the advisor for The Pride applied for the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) funding, which might have been able to compensate for the loss. This means that there is no way to subsidize lost funds. Administrators made this decision after the budget for next year was set in stone. This means that there is no way to subsidize the graduate intern position. The graduate intern offers support in the actual production of the paper, provides an office presence for interested members of the community and as a backup for possible advertisers, and offers assistance to an inexperienced group of journalists and editorial team. This "by the students, for the students" dynamic is crucial for this publication to work, and for this publication to work the presence of non-faculty veteran leadership is essential. Putting aside the ideological implications of losing the graduate intern, the simple fact that this would require the advisor to work the extra 20 hours per with no increase in pay. This is both unreasonable and unacceptable. a t r e m e n d o u s l y f i n n y look at t h e a b s u r d i t i e s and contradictions of g r o w i n g u p m a l e i n A m e r i c a a s o l o p e r f o r m a n c e p i e c e w r i t t e n by Kilmartin an d f e a t u r i n g Chris Gregg Stull direetel by FREE performance on Tuesday.

Administrators say the position must go because of state-wide budget cuts, but it seems peculiar that the university would cut such an important position days after Martinez and Poullard disputed The Pride's advertising decisions. The school is not going to save very much money on the graduate intern. It seems possible that the real reason is that Martinez and Poullard are not committed to a free press, and this may be a haunting specter of things to come. These decisions made by the administration seriously undercut our ability to function properly and have forced our hand. We have chosen to respond in the only way we know how — by reporting it. Throughout his term, President Gonzalez knew the importance of having a campus paper and was one of our biggest supporters, but in this time of uncertainty, no one seems to want to even hear the case presented. An institution without a newspaper that strives to get bigger and better cannot be considered a top quality university. Times are tough, especially in regards to the California budget, but do we risk taking a giant step backward as a college press for such a meager monetary amount? We have to ask ourselves, what is the future of the First Amendment on this campus? �The Rride the paper has gone a long way since it was started, it has room for more improvements. For Naholowaa, who is now The Pride graduate intern, this can be done in all aspects such as "production, online collaboration, and working with other departments on campus besides LTWR and COMM, which include the College of Business and the world languages department." Segall would like to see the paper be more than once a week, have more pages, have more writers, tackle more issues and have more investigative articles. P RO-WAR RHETORIC Response to Brian Dobbins Mr. Brian Dobbins, the poster-boy for the "praise America first" club, fails to understand my contention that the U.S. supports terrorism in the name of democracy. America facilitated the Iraqi acquisition of chemical and biological weapons; A very unique aspect for The Pride is that since its conception, the editors have exercised full freedom on the things they choose to print. "I believe so strongly in a free student press that I never interfere with the voice of the paper," said Marshall. Since the first editions of the CSUSM student newspaper, there has been a disclaimer saying that the freedom of expression is exercised during the paper's production. History from page 2 supported by the administration at a level in terms of operations, but I have never felt their support, nor their interest, in terms of growth for the newspaper and class," said Naholowaa, "The administration, including the LTWR and COMM departments, which The Pride class is listed under, [have] never shown a great interest in helping us grow in substantial ways and nor have they made any concrete plans for its future." The relationship between administrators and The For the future, present Pride editorial staff has and past editorial staff have not changed much from the many predictions. "The beginning. "Today, we are Pride has a very bright America encouraged Saddam's use of these weapons against the Iranians and Kurds. Regardless of what side these groups were fighting for, the use of chemical weapons is terrorism, plain and simple. The example of the Iraqi schoolhouse bombing was on Saul Landau's documentary entitled "Iraq: Voices from future of being noi just THE campus paper, tjut the most prominent newspaper in the San Marcos community," said Naholowaa. Marshall also has repeatedly said that she envisions seeing The Pride as the San Marcos city paper. Segall expressed, "Now that The Pride has come so far, I couldn't imagine the university without a student newspaper. If we lost the student newspaper, it would be like th$ university taking a step back, rather than a step forward towards enhancing student l ife" Segall also took the opportunity to remind LETTERS the Street" which was part of his anti-war seminar here on campus. U.S. support of tyrannical despots, repressive regimes, and terrorism did not stop with Saddam.

The C olumbian-paramilitary forces receive U.S. aid in the form of ¿¿arms; commit atrocities upon all dissidents, most of whom actually have nothing to do with drug cartels, as you claim.

It is indisputable that The Pride has covered many issues at CSUSM. It covered racism issues during the early years of the university being founded, involving state Senator William Craven, the beginning of the parking problem, Alexander Gonzalez being named the president, the errors made by the construction company hired to increase the The Pride, with the help of The Pioneer, little by little has become CSUSM's public diary and sometimes the eyes that many school administrators wish were not present. However, there is nothing to be done; The Pride is and hopefully will continue to be the Cal State San Marcos student newspaper for many years to come. Furthermore, well over 30 times the U.S. has vetoed U.N. resolutions to stop the unlawful occupation of Palestinian territories by Israeli terrorists. Therefore, when the U.N. does try to enforce resolutions that run contrary to U.S. policy, the U.S. does not hesitate to use its veto power as a sitting member on the Security Council. Whether the attacks come from suicide bombers or through unlawful occupation through superior armament (U.S. subsidized), it is terrorism.

We know that promotion and availability are the major factors that influence a person's decision to drink, so why would The Pride suggest our school start down this path? Apparently, Cundiff believes alcohol advertising would solve some funding issues. On the contrary, how many ads would the university have to sell to cover the cost of dealing with a problematic drinking culture on campus?

He called such predictions "wild guesses." He explained that the state legislature has not yet pieced together the budget, saying that it is not usually formally drafted until July. Hollingsworth added that sometimes, such as last year, the budget was not finished until September. v Nominations Due for Outstanding Professor AwardARTIN By GABRIEL M By MEG EPPEL Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM College Republicans welcomed California State Senator Dennis Hollingsworth to campus- last Thursday in order to discuss the state's current budget deficit and some possible solutions. Hollingsworth, a Republican who is in his first term of office, represents the 36 district, an area that spans from Temecula to El Cajon. An audience of 15 to 20 club members listened to Hollingsworth's speech, which touched on how the budget will affect CSUSM and how California found itself in this position on the fourth floor of Academic Hall on Thursday afternoon. He also explained the plans that Republicans have for fixing the current budget situation. € S tudents talking to Special A gent Foxworth at her FBI c areer booth.

The rest of his explanation rested on the belief that spending has created this deficit and that cutting both spending and taxes will rectify the debt. Davis was subtlety blamed for the deficit at times, but Hollingsworth's speech mostly was focused on the Democrats' favoring of tax increases, which he believes are not a solution to the problem. Hollingsworth handed out the "Budget Briefs" of the was looking forward to coming back again. Also, David Fogelson, Peace Corps regional recruiter, said jokingly, "Maybe if you guys can turn the temperature down a little bit," there would be more people at the fair.

This award is named after a founding member of the Cal State San Marcos foundation board and former CSU executive vice chancellor, Harry E. Brakebill. The award has been handed out since 1993, and has replaced the outstanding professor award. Eight professors have been nominated so far this year. The award is given every October to a faculty member who has made exceptional contributions to their students, discipline, and community. The teacher's record as an educator is considered above anything else, but the creative quality of their teaching, their service to the campus and outside communities, and the quality of their outside research is also taken into consideration. Typically, around 11 professors compete for the award. The nominees will spend the summer compiling a dossier, which is reviewed by the selection committee before a winner is announced in October.

But Diehr y Concern Faculty says that once a program, which increases the faculty's workload, is established, the administration would be reluctant to have it discontinued. Diehr explained that changing courses from three units to four would decrease the number of classes required for some degrees, but it does not decrease the total number of units required to graduate. The increase in class units would come from the elimination of the upper division general education (UDGE) courses. The nine UDGE units would shift to the major courses. Diehr also said that this suggestion is not meant to be applied uniformly because the CoBA already has four unit classes, so there is some question as to which colleges and departments would adapt this model. compensation, Montanari said that each department would make their own decisions and adjust its curriculum so courses would retain their value. *He repeated that increasing classes to four units and eliminating the UDGE were just suggestions, and that unless proposed by the task force, they are only topics for discussion. Montanari added, "Since this is an academic institution, most of the things to make it distinctive have to do with education," and the "changes could be pedagogical and not necessarily have to involve increasing units or changing content." ~ Montanari believes that innovative and distinctive programs would help the university recruit students and faculty as well as attract funding.

They also should help the nominated teacher gather the letters of support they need, as it can be awkward for the nominee to solicit these on their own. Occasionally, a teacher decides not to participate, due to the amount of work involved in compiling a dossier. The dossier, due by the first week of September, is the only thing the selection committee looks at while making its selection. It contains the nomination letter, a statement of the nominees' teaching philosophy, their curriculum, letters of support from colleagues and students, and evidence of their contributions as educators, professionals, and members of the community. The selection committee was chosen through election in the academic senate this spring and is composed of one teacher from each CSUSM college, one part-time professor, one former winner of the Brakebill award, one librarian, one student representative from ASI, and one administrator. The members of the committee are not allowed to nominate anyone. They review the dossiers and make their recommendation to the president, who announces the winner to the campus community during the first week of October. The university provides funds to award the winner. The amount has changed over the years; last year it was $1500. The winner will also receive a wall plaque. All Brakebill recipients' portraits are hung in the first floor of Craven Hall. The portrait unveiling and presentation of the award are held at an official ceremony on campus. By JARED THOMP- staff.

Just as hard to miss has been the large amount of support seen around the community. From yellow ribbons to entertainment venues, and even here at CSUSM, North County has been making an effort to support those who have put their lives on the line. When the war began, a few patriots were at the gates of Camp Pendleton to offer their support daily. Dressed in red, white and blue, these citizens were at the gates of the base as early as dawn. They were there for about a week - an innovative method of time and place." now 4 Here at CSUSM, there has also been a noticeable change. In many classes, at least one student has either had to . withdraw because of deployment or has had a lovedone overseas. Last month, the campus veteran's association set up a table in order to send letters to the troops to show CSUSM's support. This community has used a variety of ways to support the troops.

In the assembly, which is made up of 32 Republicans and 48 democrats, 57 votes are required to pass a bill. After his speech, the senator opened the floor to questions. The questions ranged in subject from the Indian gaming revenue "to the idea that Davis' re-election platform was based on a surplus that was later proven to not exist, and the effect of President George W. Bush's tax cuts 30-minute on California. Hollingsworth explained that federal laws prohibits the taxation of tribes without their consent, and that the tribes could not produce the 1.5 million dollars that Davis attributed to the Indian gaming revenue. Hollingsworth also said, "Davis went into office in 1999 with a record surplus and has turned it into a record deficit." He clarified that Davis did not claim to have a surplus in his reelection campaign, but that the state has had a surplus while he has been governor. Finally, Hollingsworth said, when discussing Bush's taxcuts, that California would have to follow the same movement and commented, "People will avoid tax increases, [and] a tax cut will generate jobs and spending revenues." , The "Budget Briefs" can be obtained at www.republi can.sen.ca.gov U niversity P olice H elp O n-Line a nd O n C ampus By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer find out more about the university police by talking to the on-duty officers as they patrol the campus, stopping by the police department building located The CSUSM university police department offers just off of La Moree road at the very east end of emergency information and reference material on- campus property, or contacting them through their line.

KAPLAN EOE / Drug Test, Physical, Credit and Background Checks required �American Idol or America's Most inWanted connection with a bar fight in By GERALD JONES Pride Staff Writer And then there were eight, after American Idol finalist Corey Clark was kicked off the shoW Monday, March 31. Clark is allegedly being accused of attacking his 15 year old sister in October 2002 and resisting arrest. When producers learned of his misdemeanor charge of battery and resisting arrest they made the decision to remove him from the show. The 22 year old Kansas native, "withheld information about a prior arrest, which had it been known, might have affected his participation in the show," Fox stated. "The producers and the network feel that Corey's behavior warrants his disqualification." The news was leaked to the press by a website called "The Smoking Gun," which stated that Clark was facing trial April 15, 2003 for assault and resisting arrest. The smoking gun website also released the not-so-pretty mug shots of American Idol final- ist Trenyce who was arrested in 1999 for theft charges. However, Trenyce revealed her past charges with the producers of the show so it was not a big shock when the photos were released. Each one of the finalists goes through an in-depth background check in order to alleviate this type of situation from happening. The finalists are required to disclose everything about their past - good or bad. Clark slipped through the cracks because of a typo. The police report that was filed had misspelled his name, so when American Idol did the background check, nothing was discovered about his pending charges. Clark is the third contestant to be removed from the show. American Idol favorite Frenchie Davis was given the boot for posing topless on a porno site that had photographs of underage girls. Jaered Andrews, one of the former 32 semifinalists, was kicked off when FOX learned of his arrest on assault charges Music Lyrics aWs is ba transmittedediumhis M to the masses through t hat eing By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Neil Young wrote a song once about the true meaning of rock and roll. It went like this: "Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die! There is more to the picture than meets the eye." This song rings so clearly in the ears of our world, considering that many find their identity in the music they listen to. Whether it is hip hop, rock, country or metal, blatantly obvious or hidden behind a beat, music lyrics as a medium to our social condition has had an undeniable effect on the way we live today. However, what comes to the surface when the lyrics that we hold so dear become dangerous and acted out? When violent lyrical content's relationship to violent behavior creates such uproar, why do we put defunct laws in place and think we have done everything in our power? Yet, kids as young as 5 and 6 years old are showing up to school with guns in their lunch pails. Many rant and rave, not knowing where this type of behavior comes from. It is unabashedly clear that the lyrical content in many of the songs we listen to puts our society at risk. Furthermore, radio stations are keen to understand this concept and to capitalize on the vulnerability of young listeners. Guitar guru Jimmy Hendrix once stated in a Life magazine article, "You hypnotize people and when you get them at their weakest point, we can preach into their subconscious what we want to say." medium gives witness to why much of everything is falling apart. The social construction of the family, our relationships, meanings of love, moral reasoning... where has it all gone? Since the 1960's, we have seen violence, teen pregnancy, and drug use escalate in the United States. Currently there are over 190,000 teen pregnancies each year. Over 10 million teens have tried cocaine, and there has been a 1,740 percent increase in knife or gun wound treatment at hospitals among teens. With the assistance of media, music, and its lyrical content, these factors are not reviled, but accepted and practiced. Videos have become more and more deadly because they are created for you^h and for the appetites of youth. They are produced with the most advanced technological eye-grabbers that weave in the current motifs of sex, anger, and rebellion against schools, parents and police. The events at Columbine High School are a great example of how the lyrics of music affect listeners. Police reports show us Dylan Kliebold, before opening fire, was listening to a song by Ramstein that described going into a schoolyard and killing'students. The song, "Weisses Fleisch (White Flesh) goes as follows: "You in the schoolyard I'm ready to kill I hurt you and you cry out loud Now you're afraid and I'm ready My black blood soils your dress I'm getting more and more excited by your screams .. .hails into my sick brain now you're afraid and now I'm ready! My sick being screams for redemption Your whitefleshbecomes my scaffold There's no god in my heaven!" This being said, the effect of music lyrics are the medium for our actions as the brain is to the mind. Like the brain, lyrics are a physical apparatus. And like the mind, a medium is a use to which a physical apparatus is applied. In addition, the lyrical content becomes a medium as it employs a certain symbol or code (money, power, respect), as itfindsits place in a particular social When asked about their song having such of an effect on Kliebold, Ramstein stated, "There is no lyrical setting. content that could possibly cause this behavior."

Plato once wrote about this, stating, "through foolishness they, the people, deceived themselves into thinking that there was no right or wrong in music, that it was to be judged good or bad by the pleasure it gave... a spirit of lawbreaking!"

We Don't Care Who Men Are, We Care What They Do By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer his mother telling him to "join the army" because "it will make a man out of you." Kilmartin chooses to use this rhetorical device because he believes that "story telling is one way to make sense of our lives...I cannot tell your story for you, but maybe if I tell mine in a certain way, it helps you to tell yours in a different, perhaps more meaningful way." Among a homey sofa, padded chair, and modest end table stood a solitary man with something to say.

The protestors have claimed that peace is the route to be taken. They have done this a variety of ways including the traditional peace walks and demOTistrations but also through emailing Congress representatives and spreading the word about peace through concerts, flyers and emails. Many of these actions have stressed supporting peace. However, protestors have constantly been stereotyped as hating America and being against the troops. Each protestor has his or her own motivation for wanting peace and many have other interests, such as being active in other groups that are not necessarily peace motivated. Some may not like America and may not support the troops. But a large majority of protestors, especially in San Diego, do not share that opinion. The protestors believe that peace is the best possible way to support the troops, but those who are pro war believe that the protestors are against the troops. We all have friends and family who are serving and many us know of someone fighting in Iraq. Claiming that protestors do not support the military is ignorance. * America is privileged because it is protected by an armed force that consists of volunteers, not draftees. Therefore our troops have chosen Jto protect our nation. Protestors understand that, and they also support a country that does not invoke a draft. It is also understood that a military is needed in order to protect our country, and In the San Diego area, at the right time, to fight it is difficult not to know wars. Protestors do not a person in the military. want the troops to suffer, therefore they support the recognized that veterans troops when they protest receive little aid and it diminishes as time goes by. a war. There are ample examples It is as though the country of this limited aid. One is is sufferingfromthe opinion that veterans, for the past held during Vietnam.

What those in the service during kind of reward is that for Vietnam were drafted and men and women who were not able to make the volunteer to risk their lives decision to join the military, for this country? and yet were still treated inhumanely. However, we The protestors have tried are not fighting in Vietnam to show that they support and it is thirty years later. the troops while they oppose the war itself. In an article It also should be published in Alternet.org, author David Lynch writes, "Both pro- and anti-war activists seem to agree that we need to support our soldiers. However, the two sides disagree on the best way to do it." It is unfair for the protestors to accuse the administration and pro-war activists of false behaviors and actions and it is equally wrong to accuse protestors of not supporting their troops. Protesting the war does not equate hating this country. A large number of protestors realize that this country enables them to protest. Protesting the war also does not equate a lack of support for the troops. Where's The Booze?: Part 3 The Opinion ByDAVEWERTH Pride Staff Writer It provides me with much needed relief to finally have the chance to voice my opinion on the topic of CSUSM lacking a pub. After going to great lengths to report my findings in a fair, and balanced manner, I felt that it would only be fair to express my own feelings on the subject. It is my opinion that there most certainly should be a pub or alcohol licensed restaurant at CSUSM. I believe that there is a growing desire among the student body to make San Marcos a more social and desirable place to obtain a degree. With the By JOY WHITMAN Vox The Pride I have had a huge lesson in humility and introspection over the past few weeks. Also, with Earth Day having just passed, I have been thinking about a way in which I can help make a difference for the health of the environment. I have been using the public transportation system to get to and from school and walking to work. My car took its last plummet into total despair recently, and since I am independent from any financial support from parents and am not exactly tight with my wealthier friends, it may be a while before taking the big leap into buying or leasing another one. In the meantime, the bus, walking, and getting rides emergence of fraternities, sororities, clubs, and now with the completion of the new student housing, it is obvious that CSUSM is blossoming into a prepubescent social being. CSUSM is slowly straying away from being classified as a commuter school, and is taking its place along side other established schools. Through this metamorphosis, I feel that there needs to be changes that cater to the desires of the student body, and not solely to the infrastructure of the institution. Many students are likely to argue that a pub would not foster a positive tradition, nor promote a hçalthy social environment. For some, a negative impression that a pub may make on the community, is of concern, while others simply just don't want a pub. It would be ignorant for me not to take these opinions into consideration, but ultimately, I would have to argue that I see it quite differently. Growing up in Canada, for the better half of nineteen years, it is remarkable to me that alcohol provokes such a grand level of uneasiness among many Americans. Respectively, it is understandable that many people have had unpleasant experiences with it, on a number of different levels. However, at almost every university from friends have been my I have found this desperation to be rather disgusting alternative options. actually. For example, I As a result of this, I have consider myself and most experienced these bursts people, fairly level headed of inspiration to turn my but I never knew I had such misfortune into something a temper until I discovered positive.

In no such terrible people on the way am I complaining; my road and then get behind life is cake compared to the wheel of such heavy others who don't even have machinery. Oh- and then these options. Although it there's TRAFFIC issues, has been an inconvenience which you do not even for me, what has struck me want to get me rampaging the most about being in this on because I won't shut up situation is my realization about it. of how dependent southern However, my argument California is on vehicles. lies more so in the economic Being a native of this area sense of the matter. In order myself, I know that driving to make it more effective, a car is the number one I have chosen to highlight method of transportation to the realities of driving a get where we all need to go. car. First and foremost, it's campus that I have visited in Canada, there is at least one pub, or place, where the students can get an alcoholic beverage. These pubs and restaurants are great places that promote a wonderful degree of student and faculty interaction. Quite often these pubs are historic, and are home to the traditions of the school. In direct contrast, CSUSM has The Dome - a fairly stark haven for weary students that serves mediocre food and supplies a miniscule level of comfort. I have a lot of pride in being a student here at CSUSM, and I believe that this is a great school with great potential. However, even with the incredible expensive. Right now, I think it's safe to say that the average price of gasoline is $2.00 per gallon for 87octane fuel, which is the lowest fevel you can put into your car. For a 12gallon tank, you're looking at paying about $24 to fill it up. For all of you SUV owners out there, you are going to be paying more like $60 for a 30-gallon tank. Now, I am not knocking SUV's because I think they are really hot looking rides but that HAS to hurt when you pull out that hard earned cash or credit card that has you paying more interest than the actual gas. Also, you have to take into account that driving without insurance is against the law. For all you guys out there who have to pay more simply because of growth rate of this school, I feel that there is a certain level of apprehension to move forward, and a sheltering of the student body. At 23 years Qf age, I am not looking to be sheltered or made aware of the dangers of drinking by the school. I understand that the school is committed to helping students make healthy choices, and does not want to promote alcohol abuse to its students. In a previous interview, Jonathan Poullard made it explicitly clear that revenue from a pub would not aid in the lowering of tuition, parking fees, or book prices. However, I feel that is not unreasonable to suggest that the financial infrastructure the statistics that work against you, like getting more tickets and into more accidents than women; that sucks for you. of a future pub could be built with the intention that a percentage of the pub's profit be put toward the building of a parking structure, or toward offering students a larger amount of money for thek buyback books. Although it has been made clear to me that this is not how financial matters of CSUSM work currently, I rebut and say, if the pub isn't built yet, then why not make it that way? A pub would not become a "cash cow" for the school, but more so a way for the school to make money at the will of students, instead of in protest. "chrome" out your cars and do all that body work to keep that ever popular southern California "image" in check, you're spending even more money-whether you can do it yourself or whether you have someone to do it for you. Again, I'm not knocking any of you who do; it's simply a statement. Then you have registration • and maintenance. Registration in California also happens to be one of the most expensive around. In order to keep cars in good and safe working condition, one must maintain them, every 3 months or 3, 000 miles, then you have your 30, 60 and 90K maintenance, tire rotations, new tires, if necessary, making small or large repairs because machinery goes wrong from time to time, despite regular maintenance, smog checks every year, and then everything in between. Now, I realize that many of you have very taxing schedules that require you to be extremely mobile and you cannot rely on something like the bus schedule to get you where you need to be on time. Also, I know that many of your commutes are longer than mine, which do not allow you to take a bus, walk, skate or bike to Then for all of you that See THOUGHT, page 8 �newsletter—how insulting! And I am displeased that I am supposed to accept my powerless position, indeed that we all are; that there is little to nothing we can do about it. POSSIBILITY O F L OSING THE PRIDE Dear Pride Editors and Staff: I am deeply upset about the possibility of losing The Pride. It disgusts me that The Pride is being oppressed and stifled—and may even be forced out of publication—under the guise of "budget cuts." It is time we, the students, start having a voice in the priorities of Cal State San Marcos. Imagine, a student body impacting policy? One might think I was crazy just for suggesting it. The sad reality is that the administration of CSUSM has no interest in the student body, except as customers to be coddled. I am here to get an education and to be exposed to ideas and free thinking ^ and a student newspaper is the very lifeblood of such a campus-wide exchange of ideas. A student newspaper should be able to operate with impunity. The concept of a free press was easy for our forefathers to understand, why does the administration feel they have a duty to impose their narrow perspective and questionable ideals on the only outlet for free expression on this campus? You can't even post flyers at CSUSM without approval. I will stand for such repression no longer, not when it threatens a student run newspaper. So I here pledge to The Pride and to the administration of CSUSM that I will respond to the termination of this vital, necessary student newspaper with all my power. Should The Pride be forced out of print, I will organize a walk-out and/or a protest on school property, and I will advertise such actions and encourage other students to participate. I will contact all local news media and tell them of our struggle, and I will invite them to report on our protest—it will make a story I am sure will hold the interest of the residents of San Marcos and indeed the San Diego community at large. I will write letters to the editors of all the major newspapers in the San Diego area. If such actions fail due to the summer break, I will reengage them in the fall. So I say shame on the administration of CSUSM! To put it in language they might understand: this customer is most displeased. I am displeased that the last vestige of written communication on this campus is being bureaucratized to death. I am displeased that the administration considers I came to this school eager The Pride no better than a to participate in a meaning- ful way. It is a shame I may be forced to create such a stink over something that should never be considered in the first place: ending a school published newspaper. I feel a great deal of loyalty to both CSUSM and my fellow students, and it is for this reason that I am determined to SAVE THE PRIDE!

"I thought it went very well," commented Kilmartin, "especially considering that it's a commuter school and people had to come back in the evening to see it." Commuter school or not, the mass of people cluttered around the display of cookies, brownies, and coffee at the entrance of the theater suggested much appreciation and engagement with the subject. "It was a very responsive audience," said Kilmartin. Although the majority of the audience seemed overly joyful and accepting of Kilmartin's performance, he warns that this is not always the case. People "sometimes say it's male bashing and disrespectful to them," but to such comments Kilmartin's general response is "I don't want to take your choices awayfromyou, but I do want California's Republican party? His persona reminds me of David Duke and his intellect of Rush Limbaugh. His selection to speak at our campus does a disservice to College Republicans and brings shame to our campus. your choices to be conscious ones rather then merely going with the program." Overall, the evening was a success. Kilmartin mentioned that, "Despite the fact that I was very tiredfromtraveling all day, I felt very energized by the audience." The constant uproar of laughter and utter hysteria on the audience's part suggested that they felt the same about Kilmartin's performance. Heads shook in personal testament and hands covered blushing cheeks, all in unison and all in recognition of the honesty in which Kilmartin made his point. "I was leery at first when my girlfriend asked me to attend, especially as it was later in the evening," said Moses, "but I left feeling refreshed and informed, he made some really valid and funny points about growing up as a guy." too, that he had 12 years and -17 UN resolutions to do this...and you still think peace never had a chance?

Furthermore, Saddam is gone now, and it makes me sad that you don't celebrate that.

You must understand the huge difference between terror victims and collateral damage victims. When Israel targets INDIVIDUALS who orchestrate suicide bombings, a problem arises that you fail to acknowledge: The way puppet masters of terrorist groups deliberately use civilians as human shields in hopes that we Israelis (and the U.S) won't come after them.

I might have an internship over the summer in downtown San Diego that might require me to rethink my entire systemrightnow, but, until then, I will do what I can. Therefore, I am simply asking you to think about just what you need your car for. Think about if it's all that necessary to drive your car to the store up the street if you only need a few items. Can you wait until the following day when you have more time to do all you errands in one trip? Can you walk to the beach, to work, or to get your Starbucks fix? Do you know somebody that you can carpool with or that can carpool with you? For all of us (myself included) that have griped and complained about that parking fee increase, which will not be decreasing in the near future: think of the money you could save if you could use another method of transportation, or if there was someone helping you out with the cost. Walking is going to keep me in great shape and since a huge criticism of the U.S. is our growing obesity problem, compared to that of Europe, you might think twice about getting in that car to go to the next corner where Burger King, McDonald's, Taeo Bell and KFC and more all wait for your return. I am also put at a little more at ease knowing that I am doing what I can to help eliminate extra carbon monoxide and other dangerous pollutants into the atmosphere by being one less vehicle on the road. I am in no way intending to preach and if I have made any untrue statements or judgments, by all means, let me know. These are just some things that I have noticed and that I wanted to make a social comment on. So since Earth Day was on the 2 2 of April this year and you are all reading this after the fact, let this be a reinforcement that awareness begins eveiy morning you wake up and try to do what you can everyday. * nd � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Senior By JAMAL SCARLETT Pride Staff Writer Executives Charged With From gas-guzzling SUV's to penny-pinching economy cars, CSU San Marcos students journey from far off places in an attempt to receive their college education. Many mothers, fathers, sons and daughters struggle to get to campus in hopes that their education will one day increase their status on the economic ladder. With this in view, many students have wondered why San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool for students. Unethical Activities A large sample of the academic leaders in the community of Cal State San Marcos were asked what social issue they care about most. The following are the responses of those professors interested enough to formulate a reply. By JARED THOMPSON Pride Staff Writer In March 2003, the California State Auditor: Bureau of State Audits, released an audit report on the California State University system's procurement of Common Management System (CMS/PeopleSoft). Among the findings of the report are potential conflicts-of-interest and criminal activities, security issues that could possibly lead to the electronic identity theft of CSU staff, faculty and students, as well as an inappropriate handling of funds that may have negative effects on the CSUSM students and faculty. "I am most concerned about the narrow focus on the individual - to the detriment of the community - in the United States these days. Too many people who enjoy the benefits of living in the US — the standard and quality of living, the civil liberties, the wide open opportunities - appear to be interested only in getting more for themselves, without recognizing that in doing so, they may be depriving others in this country - and certainly many folks in other countries - of access to the fundamental needs for survival We do not \get it' that our lives are inextricably linked to the lives of people in virtually every country in the world - we need them as much as they need us (it's called complex interdependence) - and we should be civil and considerate of their needs" -Vicki L. Golich, Department of Political Science Conflict of Interest The report, initiated last spring by State Senator Richard Alarcon (D-Campbell) and State Assembly member Manny Diaz (D-San Jose) at the request of the California Faculty Association (CFA), asserts that the CSU "did not do enough to prevent conflicts of interest by decision makers for CMSrelated procurements." The report states that the lack of effort to prevent conflicts of interest resulted in two CSU system senior executives, involved with the decision making process in acquiring technological supplies and services for the entire CSU system, engaging in potentially unethical behavior, some of which is unlawful. ees to disclose their personal assets and income. According to the report, the CSU system and some CMS management personnel did not disclose their personal information, casting a duplicitous shadow over the relationship between CMS and the CSU system. California State Auditor Elaine Howie, discovered that two CSU system executives in particular engaged in incompatible activities as defined by the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC)'s eight-step analysis to determine whether an individual has a conflict of interest under the Political Reform Act of 1974. According to the eight-step analysis, any public official, including all employees of the CSU system, may not make, participate in making, use or attempt to use their position in order to influence a government decision, such as the procurement of CMS/ PeopleSoft, in which "they know, or have reason to know, that the decision will have a reasonably foreseeable material, financial effect on their economic interests." One senior executive, Vice-Chancellor David Ernst, who participated in the CMS procurement, which occurred in April of 1997, received income and compensation from CMS of up to $11,000 per month from years 1996 through 1998 for facilitating meetings prior to the procurement, and for consultation fees after the procurement.

Vanpools leave and arrive at various times allowing students to get to class early and leave as late as 5 or 6 p.m. Although none of the university vanpools are f ree of charge ($50 a month), they provide students with economical and practical alternative methods of transportation. A high percentage of CSU San Marcos students are commuters. Traveling from as far as Temecula and Costa Mesa, Chula Vista and San Ysidro can be a strenuous process. Sociology senior Shana Lewis said, "It is an atrocity that CSU San Marcos doesn't have a vanpool. They probably aren't doing it because it would affect parking sales." Liberal Studies major and Temecula resident Matt Mestas expressed this same frustration with the J&e RIDE SHARING, page 5 �P eopleSoft E ditorial Staff E ditors-in-chief Alyssa Finkelstein 8c M artha Sarabia D esign 8c P hoto E ditor Desmond Barca N ews E ditor Gail Tarantino F eature E ditor Jennifer Acee A rts E ditor Chris Martin O pinion 8c A ssistant D esign E ditor Jason Padilla S panish E ditor ^ M artha Sarabia S ports E ditor Jessica G raduate I ntern 1 S taff W riters J ared Thompson, Jeff Brownlee, Jeanne ft« Sapp, Jennifer Rhodus, Gabriel M artin, Dave Werth, Erik Roper, Gerald Jones, Meg Eppel, Julie Myres, Jamal Scarlett, Adrian Ciindifi; Diana K.

By SARA COLBRESE Pride Staff Writer What Students Are Saying After years of hard work, stress, and mind throbbing yet gratifying accomplishments, many graduating seniors are required one last tedious duty: the graduation portfolio. Faculty and students have different opinions; both are left with the same question regarding how both the administration's expectations for the portfolio, as well as the expectations of students, can be successfully achieVed. The graduate portfolio is required for six different majors at CSUSM, including the multiple subject, liberal arts, and single subject waiver program in social science, history, literature and writing studies. (LTWR), math, and science. These are the degrees a student would obtain if s/he chooses to apply to a credential program. A portfolio consists of four original papers, complete with faculty comments from various semesters throughout CSUSM studies, as well as a 3-4-page reflection for each of the four entries. The final bound product is required to be turned in no less then one month before graduation. A flurry of chit-chat regarding this portfolio can be heard in many upper division classes on campus. These are the voices of angry seniors who feel that the portfolio requirement is just one more set of hoops they must jump through in order to satisfy the administration. Many feel that they were not warned about the graduation portfolio, and therefore had not felt the need to save their original papers. LTWR senior Nichole Jester said, "I just found out about them last semester and have not saved nearly enough work to represent my true challenges and intellect. Liberal studies major Gail Tarantino shares this concern as she "found out about the portfolio by word of mouth and by the liberal Studies blue sheet." Tarantino says that not once had any counselor or advisor mentioned it to her. The lack of communication between the faculty portfolio advisors and the students does not stop there; students are also expressing their frustration with its overall effectiveness. "I think it's pointless - the papers we turn in are already According to Susie Cassel, graded. If I turn in papers the original purpose if of that received an 'A' from my this portfolio was to act as an professor, whoever looks at the evaluative and reflective tool portfolio isn't going to fail my from which a student may portfolio," argued Tarantino. track their growth.

With an audience of approximately twenty students, faculty and administrators, Paige Jennings from the CSUSM office of communications mediated a panel of three in a discussion about the embedded journalists who were used in the recent war with Iraq. The panel included Kent Davy, editor in chief of The North County Times, Dr. Sam Hamod, an Arab and Islam expert and editor of Alteraativenews.org, and Major General Claude Rienke, a retired officer and publisher of The Californian, the Riverside counterpart to The North County Times. In his opening statement, Davy referred to the embedded rules that journalists were expected to follow. Only two journalists violated these rules and were asked to leave; one being Geraldo Rivera. An audience member questioned, "[After] Vietnam, the military learned to control the media, to have certain agendas put forth. Was there a plan to spyfold information? Were correspondents taken out of line if they didn't act correctly?" Rienke answered, "Reporters did not have the time to think of other messages unlike in Vietnam."

By JULIE MYRES Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM university police department is offering new student identification cards to students who currently have their social security on their school ID. This change was made by administration in the middle of the fall 2003 semester. Thus, any student who has gotten an ID after that time should have a randomly selected number in place of the social security number. This change is in response to only one known person's request, made by a student with concern for the privacy of students' social security numbers.

According to an article published in The Pride during the fall 2003 semester, Jonathan Poullard, dean of students at CSUSM, was quoted as saying, "We are working to immediately phase out the use of SSNs on student IDs." Students can stop by parking services during their regular business hours in order to be issued a new student ID with a randomly selected student number, which will be printed on the card instead of the student's social security number.

C ourtesy Photo. Danny " Slapjazz" Barber and Leland "Spoonful" Collings. Photo by Adrian Cundiff. By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride Staff Writer By GABRIEL MARTIN Pride Staff Writer The X-men sequel is one of the best adventure movies of recent years, better than the first, if not quite as much fun as last years' Spiderman. As an action movie, it delivers the requisite effects and action sequences, which are very impressive. Fine acting and attention to character make the movie unique and more memorable than most comic book movies. The characters are all greatly expanded from both their comic counterparts and the first movie, actually giving an emotional feeling to the action. It is definitely worth seeing, but possibly a little confusing to non-fans. While the first movie suffered from a pretty threadbare plot, this one may have a little too much. The film does an outstanding job of juggling the several storylines, even managing to tie them all together in a logical way. However, there are an awful lot of characters here- nearly everyone from the first movie returns, and every one of them evolves in some way. There are also several new characters, whom are also given an awful lot of plot and character burden. The best moments are of character interaction. Unfortunately, these moments are too often lost in the big action set pieces. material condescendingly. Not here. Nearly every returning character improves. On a particular note, the X-women- Berry, Famke Janssen and Rebecca Romijn Stamos all have a lot more screen time, and all make the most of it. However, Hugh Jackman makes the deepest impression as Wolverine. He is a natural at showing all sides of Wolverine's personality and it's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart both bring classical acting skills to elder mutants Magneto and Professor X respectively. Among the new actors, Cummings has a very bad German accent, but he is good when it counts, as in his scenes with Storm. Brian Cox, as the hammy villain Stryker, was pretty annoying, though. The special effects and set pieces don't disappoint. From the opening scene of Nightcrawler attacking the White House to the duel between Wolverine and the similarly clawed Yuriko, the action is exciting and very well directed. The mutant's powers look realistic most of the time. The familiar settings that the mutants move through make their powers both unreal and strangely believable. Also impressive is the movie's depiction of telepathy, which is sorely underused as a superpower in film. The cacophony of voices Jean Grey is forced to hear give Jannsen one of her best moments. The It's not that you lose track of anyone. makeup on some characters is jarring, but But- well, take one of the new characters, impressive, and helps visualize the themes Alan Cummings' Nightcrawler.

This provides very betrayals of the human world.

MacDonald's "Travis McGee" Series Is Still A Landmark in Popular Fiction By JEFF BROWNLEE Pride Staff Writer In 1964 author John D. MacDonald brought one of fiction's most imposing characters into existence. MacDonald's "Travis McGee" to this day represents perhaps the most interesting and compelling character to inhabit the world of paperbacks. McGee first makes his appearance in MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Goodbye." MacDonald describes his creation as, "That big loose-jointed boat bum, that slayer of small savage fish, that beachwalker, gin-drinker, quip-maker-that man named Travis McGee." Throughout the Travis McGee series MacDonald does a wonderful job with his descriptions of McGee as well as the other characters and situations that populate McGee's world. McGee is a harmless rogue who lives At one level McGee is the ultimate male aboard a large houseboat the "Busted fantasy character, a competent and indeFlush", which he won in a poker game. pendent non-conformist who lives entirely Our hero earns his living by retriev- by his wits and answers to no one.

The novels themselves are fast-paced and compelling. John D. MacDonald brought a wealth of experience to the Travis McGee series, having been a writer of suspense and science fiction for many years. MacDonald had earned his chops in both the short story and novel mediums, and it shows. His writing is tight and economical and he can bring startling plot twists seemingly out of nowhere without the appearance of their being forced or contrived. During and immediately after WWII MacDonald served as an officer in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) the precursor agency to the CIA. This may be the source of the detail and realism that pervades the "Travis McGee" series. The "Travis McGee" series is a classic in the detective novel genre and proof that the late John D. MacDonald was one of the twentieth century's master novelists. o CLASSIFIEDS 760-724-9423 EGG DONORS NEEDED Ages 19-29, $4,000 Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families 800-790-7633 PILLOWTOP MATTRESS SETS - BRAND NEW Orthopedic Mattress+Box.

While the efforts of The Pride may seem disjointed to some, the fact remains that students are free to write, rant, vent, or criticize anything that they choose. It's th^t freedom that the administration has sought to squelch. They cut the funding for the graduate intern, without whom the class cannot run. They cut it after the instructor applied for the funding for next year. That round goes to the administration. Without a free press, the game is lost. There is no question that our institution of higher education has ecome an institution of higher Ifees. Larger classes with fewer lass offerings are promised for the all semester. Educators are quiting, and presumably, moving on to niversities and colleges that place 'a higher value on the quality of education than does our own CSUSM. Apparently the CSU system has $668 million for a computer system that never worked, but it doesn't have enough money to support a The word on the street, or in sufficient number of educators to Founders Plaza» is that there is a meet the requirements of over 7000 plan to value each class at four full- and part-time studeiits. credits instead of three.

Jorge Riquelme, a Liberal Studies Department teacher at CSUSM said, "Unfortunately, much of the emphasis in education reform efforts is narrowly placed in improving schooling practices (e.g., instruction and curriculum) and not in addressing simultaneously the social context of education (e.g., poverty and exclusion)." I disagree. Unfortunately, not enough emphasis is placed on the educational fundamentals of instruction and curriculum. Too much emphasis is placed on tolerance, diversity, and a host of other social and political issues which become irrelevant in a society that can't read, write, add, or think critically. Comments like Mr. Riquelme's cause me to despair for this generation of high school and college students. They are becoming less and less qualified to compete in the world because they have been shortchanged in their education. The teachers and professors who love learning and teaching are leaving the public school system. They'll make less money in the private school system, but they will be free t o teach academic subjects to* students who want to be there, and be paid by parents who appreciate their talents. The disintegration of the grounds, the poor planning displayed by the administration in where l o hold which class, the lack of interest in what the students need, and the devaluation of the diploma, indicate a deep chasm in the academic ideology of CSUSM. Without a strong teaching staff, respect for students' time and money, and a newspaper that is free to print whatever is news, diversity and social issues are moot. It's too bad we can't all just take a semester off, and let the administration deal with that cash flow problem. 2003 CSVSM graduation May tT, 2003 May t?, 2006 Consolidation* At&l ! !
