Gordon Clarke Student Union/Field House, students looking to get fit no longer have an excuse not to workout. Not only does the gym offer a service for that workout junky but also gives students who can't afford the membership cost of their local gym a chance to get fit. Liberal Studies major Ashley Campbell never owned a membership to a gym and hasn't had a regular workout routine since high school. "I no longer have an excuse; now I can workout after class," Campbell said. Not only is the Field House used for recreational purposes but students can also take their mid-day siesta on the big comfy couches in See FIELD HOUSE, page 2 Interim President Enthusiastic to Work With CSUSM Students ByDIDILUND Pride Staff Writer Roy McTarnaghan has the experience of a leader so in the absence of an administrator; he took on the role as interim president at CSUSM. Located just a three-minute walk from the main campus,, the Field House is just west of the new residence halls. The Field House opened its doors for student use Monday, Sept. 8, after its groundbreaking ceremony Nov. 30,2000. The Field House offers a state-of-the-art gymnasium, fitness center, indoor and outdoor basketball and volleyball courts, conference rooms, men's and women's locker rooms equipped with showers and bathrooms, and equipment rentals. The gym/fitness center is free of charge for currently enrolled students and only a small fee for Alumni and faculty.

A new bookstore, Discount Campus Books, opened directly across Twin Oaks Valley Road, providing students with an alternative to the on-campus University Store. Joe Padilla, the store owner, opened the store in hopes of providing a better deal for students. Padilla made such a request, citing the California Public Records Act. CSUSM complied but according to Padilla the list was incomplete. The acquisition of this list may continue to be a problem for It has been a challenge for Discount Campus Books to provide lower prices due to difficulties in attaining a complete official booklist. Professors at CSUSM provide a list of required texts directly to the University Store. The University Store, an Aztec shop, is a private business and need not share that list with any other businesses. CSUSM, on the other hand, is a public organization and therefore legally must share this "They may be able to provide a lower price but they will not have all of the required texts " Discount Campus Books but at present they have many of the textbooks in stock. Padilla seems confident that next semester his store will be able to acquire a complete booklist sooner. The list will make more of the Doug Iverson, a student on campus said, "I think it's only fair that the school provide him a booklist as well as the campus store if (students) aren't going to be able to have â say in who is allowed to sell books on campus." Despite difficulties, Padilla guarantees at least a 5 percent discount on new books, better discounts on used books and better buyback prices than the University Store. A CSUSM student, Kellie Klopf said, "I bought all my books there. They h ad better prices . .. (I) saved well over a hundred dollars."

To accommodate, academic blueprints have been made for a list of degree programs that will be implemented. McTarnaghan also expects the university to have a branch campus in Temecula in the near future.As for being a student advocate, McTarnaghan said that he would like to see the graduation time reduced, a higher freshman retention rate, and more accountability in advisement. He stresses the responsibility faculty and staff members have in providing the students an education in a timely manner. "We have a legal and moral obligation to provide them with courses they need to move them through on time," McTarnaghan said. He has already sent emails to faculty and staff regarding this issue. He works closely with the Academic Senate, to emphasize the need to hear the student voice in this matter.

Addressing the Associated Students, Incorporated (ASI) Board- of Directors Friday, Sept. 5, McTarnaghan discussed degree completion, advisement accountability, flexibility in prerequisites for self-motivated students, and being an advocate for the students. Honey Folk, ASI President said that he has recognized the students' frustrations w ith. the unavailability of classes. He also keeps in mind the hard work that faculty and staff put into the construction of the current system, she said. McTarnaghan also suggested creating the class schedule based on a student survey prior to registration. Folk said, "He's the only one to publicly express the possibility of piecing the scheduling puzzle together." McTarnaghan expressed his enthusiasm for working with students here at Cal State San Marcos, saying that " I'm happy to be here, to have the privilege to work here." R.D. Williams, Director of Communications and Campus Relations for Aztec Shops, admits the University Store may loose some business to the off campus store but this isn't a concern to him. Thé contract that the University Store has with the California State University Foundation states that the University Store will provide every book required for students. He said, "They may be able to provide a Jower price but they will not have all of (thé required texts)." Students also have other options when purchasing books. Delmar Gomez, a psychology major, has been purchasing and selling used books at amazon.com. He said "I bought a one hundred dollar book for twenty five dollars and sold another hundred dollar book for seventy dollars." Other online options are: addall.com, half.com, eBay and biggerbooks.com.

They are, feelings about having more students. She said there trying to add classes, but are being turned down due is more campus life and it is more of a University than a commuter school. The problem is less space to full class size. for parking. Khoury has noticed a change in class Enrollment numbers at CSUSM have increased size, She added that CSUSM should continue to dramatically over the past decade, but the emphasize small class size for one-on-one student/ teacher communication., continuation of that trend is in question. Tracks, a weekly newsletter published for the faculty and staff by the Office of Communications stated that in 1990, the total number of students enrolled at CStJSM was 448. By 1997, enrollment was up to 4684, and on opening day of the fall 2003 semester, 7,407 students were registered—a number expected to rise to about 7,800 during the add period. This is-an increase of 2.7 percent from the fall 2002 semester. The State of California is stepping in and attempting to halt the increase of enrollment. According to Richard Riehl, Assistant Vice President of Enrollment Services, this year's fall headcount is expected to be about the same as last fall; 7,600 to 7,700. The CSU systern, as a result of statewide budget cuts has been asked to halt enrollment growth through 2004-2005. As for limiting student growth at CSUSM, Riehl said, "We're at the maximum funding level now." Jennifer Stewart, a student at CSUSM also noticed the class size. "Yeah! One of my Professors said it went from 30 to 47." Stewart likes the increase in enrollment and said, "It's good, the classrooms are (full) and there are more people tb meet." Professor Beavers, a member of the faculty, said the increase in enrollment is creating a lot more work for everybody. This includes students fighting for classes and for faculty turning people away. She added that, "There is more excitement and a whole new energy." If class ^izès increase Beavers said if class size increases too much, there could be distractions. She wants to let people in classes, but there is a cost to that, she said. Student and teacher interaction can also be affected, she said. According to Professor Beavers, "It takes more work by everyone to keep the lines of communication open. Students do have responsibility there as well." 9/11 : Observing A Day in continued from page 1 According to www.sevis.net, SEVIS is a law that "increases the reporting obligations of all schools and institutions that receive international students.

Classroom Etiquette 101 By SCOTT CARPI Pride Staff Reporter Turn your cell phone' OFF. It's the start of the school year, and one of the most important aspects of our education is the atmosphere in which we gain our knowledge. After driving around for a half hour in one of our dusty dirt parking lots and walking up 18 flights of stairs in the hot desert heat, we are forced to sit in a cramped little room on the third floor of Academic Hall f ull of sweaty students for over an hour. That's alright though, because you've come here to get an education and by golly that's what you're going to get. Your notebook is out, your pen is cocked and poised for note taking, and the teacher has just started the history lecture when it^first begins. You can feel it from your toes to the tips of your ears, the ceaseless rat-a-tat tapping on the back of your chair.

These students, who never really seem to be paying attention, feel they need to be heard to bring some sort ofshallow validity to their class attendance. The process of asking questions to get a grasp of the lecture or lending a few sound bytes to add to the learning experience of school is obviously important and definitely acceptable. However, this student interferes with the teachers prepared agenda and usually will interject personal stories, often boring, often off-subject, and often resembling the pointless rambling jabber we might hear from rocker Courtney Love after any MTV award show. annoyance by discontinuing calling on the irritant, but they can be persistent. Beware of the students who will begin talking and then put their hand up, as if they were called upon to speak. Ooh they're sneaky. Thirty minutes of my lecture, my tuition, my parking pass and my time were just wasted by Courtney Love and her inability to act like a considerate student in class. I sure miss Kurt Cobaifl.

Back to School By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Co-Editor This is not just a new semester for me here at CSUSM, but more like a new beginning. I am one of the many who have left the full-time working world to return to college and finish the bachelor degree that I started.. .ummm 8 years ago! „ I do give myself a pat on the back for choosing to complete my degree at CSUSM. Although my registration went a bit awry and I had to crash all my classes on the first day of school, other than that hiccup, the faculty and staff here at the school have been excellent in answering all my questions and helping me get situated with classes that I need. (I have heard horror stories from other classmates...so I do feel grateful that I had Such an easy time of this) So far my classes have been interesting and my professors have exuded professionalism, thereby, helping me forget the amount I just paid out of pocket for tuition fees.

We drive to school only to park miles away from campus in a dirt lot (slight exaggeration.. but doesn't it feel that way?); we sperid our day running up and down stairs; and we sit in a freezing or stifling hot classrooms (how hard is it really to regulate the temperature of a rdom?).

SCRIPPS Pride Staff Writer "Once Upon a Time in Mexico", the new film by Robert Rodriguez, is the sequel to the box office smash 'Desperado/ Rodriguez's first big film was a film called 'El Mariachi', a low budget shoot em' up in which a mariachi rebels against the drug cartel that is running his town, killing him. 'Desperado' was basically a remake of the same film for the US with a bigger budget, a sort o f'El Mariachi' on steroids. As sequels go, I've seen worse, but I've seen better too. As for an action rating, on a 1-10 scale, I'll give it an 8.5. It was actually very much like 'Bad Boyz II', which starred Will Smith. Everyone got shot and almost everyone died. In fact, it's a wonder that any of the main characters survived the film at all. But when it came to story line, I'm going to have to give this story a 2. You're probably saying to yourself, "Why does he care about the story line? Isn't an action film about action?" Wrong. An action film may have a lot of action, but it has a story line and that story line needs to be simple and fast. This one wasn't. The foundation of this film was undermined by some pretty thick subplots. Characters were : constantly shooting, killing, torturing, maiming, and two-timing each other. There were times when I was sitting in the theater and thinking to myself, "Is this film really only two hours, long?" If you don't believe me, just look at this list of contending forces; A huge drug cartel, a rebellious faction of the Mexican military, the patriotic (and rocket launcher toting) citizens of Mexico, a two timing Mexican Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek star in Colombia Pictures' action adventure, Once Upon a Time in Mexico.

It may not be South Mission or Pacific Beach, but San Marcos can now lay at least some claim to the title "College Town." Being the lone University in North County, CSUSM, - brings many diverse undergrads to the area. San Marcos should be the hub of college nightlife in North County. Alas, that is not yet the case, however, San Marcos is one of the fastest growing cities in San Diego County. College students can and should bring muchneeded spirit and economic fuel to the city. With that in mind, see where the locals head to after their studying is done. Are you gearing u p for next season's American Idol auditions? Zip and Zack's Filling Station & Pickup Joint, also in Restaurant Row, allows you to showcase your talents every Thursday and Friday with Karaoke night. If you are looking for a cold drink, a welcoming crowd, and maybe some fish and chips, then Penny Lane Pub and Grill on West San Marcos Boulevard might just be your pot of gold. You want sushi but you're on a budget? Boo and Mee Café on West San Marcos Blvd. has affordable Asian cuisine. If you are in the mood for an afternoon of sports on the television, you can check out the newly opened Boulevard Bar and Grill. If movies are your bag, San Marcos boasts Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18 Cinema Theater. Students show your school I.D for a discount. Maybe you just want to kick back and enjoy some live music and a latte after a midterm, then the Mocha Marketplace in Old Restaurant Row on Friday nights between 7:30 and 10:00pm is the place for you. There are four Starbuck's coffee houses in San Marcos, one with patio seating handy for cram sessions and study groups. It is conveniently located right across the street from the campus. So, though the nightlife of San Diego is right down the 1-15, this modest "College Town," San Marcos, just may have something for every taste. B Y KRISTIN REES Pride Staff Reporter By SHARON BAYRON Pride StaflfWriter After cruising the country all summer, promoting his second perfect bound book, Second Skin, author Terry Hertzler made a quick yet impressionable- stop at t he' Carlsbad library on a Wednesday night to share a few short stories and poems with local north county spectators. The free event to the public was hosted in the quaint community room of the Carlsbad library, decorated only with plastic chairs, an American flag, and a humble podium. As people filed in, young and old, Terry patiently took a seat among thfe crowd, quietly waiting to deliver the moving poems that this audience would later unreservedly praise. Indeed, when listening to Terry deliver his literary work it becomes instantly apparent that he has an incomparable gift to arrange words in an image-filled, unforgettable manner. He opened with a piece that he dedicates to a deceased friend entitled "A Dialogue With My Favorite Author".

Terry Hertzler, originally from Ohio, currently works as a full-time writer and currently resides in San Diego. He has been writing since the 5th grade. For him it was an expected procession to write professionally, claiming to4 have never questioned his career choice. "It seemed natural to me. I was always the kid in the corner, reading a magazine or a book. I never developed much interest in sports or anything like that." Though most of the material he writes would be considered " free verse", his narrative type p oems often border between poems and Short stories. When commenting on this, he makes sure to note, ' "you can't divide life into neat little sections. Things blend and overlap." In the collection of poems and short stories that make up his book Second Skin, Terry has chosen to often blend the two. Terry Hertzler is generous with his spare time, often guest speaking on college campuses and informing students nationwide about the challenges and benefits of writing professionally while simultaneously sharing his poetry. When students pose the question "How do you get ideas for writing?,'" Terry simply responds, "Anyone who has lived more than fifteen years and is paying attention C .N « OM«UM » A N Yfttt» VM ftMYi* Y I OT S « C« UO T Ifl O f (A I KA has material enough for a lifetime."

He speaks in a smooth, deep, and animated voice when performing his poems concerning war, while speaking in a light and cheerful tone when reciting pieces on love and married life.

By the end of his readings, Terry has managed to transport the audience through his comical childhood; his tragic experience as a Vietnam solider, and his adventures as a husband. Everyone in attendance has laughed, and some have been moved to tears. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Voting Registration Rates Drop to All Time Low ByDiDiLUND Pride StafifWriter Declining voting rates, especially amongst young people has sparked a movement among the student population to encourage voting. According to the 2000 Census reports, only 50.7 percent of citizens between the ages of 18 and 24 are registered to vote and of those, only 36.1 percent actually reported voting. The national trend reveals registration rates dropping to a record low. The Lobby Core, a committee run by Associated Students Incorporated, remains dedicated to educating students about issues external to the university that affect them. This year, members of the Lobby Core are fighting hard to promote both awareness for political issues and to create an effective voter registration drive. Lobby Core members are concerned with the message students are sending to politicians. A Lobby Core activist by the name of Ryan O'Connor states, "This is a vicious cycle where students feel that their voice isn't being heard so they don't vote; but [at the same time], politicians don't care about our issues because we don't vote." Students active in the voter registration drive this year are frustrated that young people are not more involved in the democratic process. Lobby Core members stress the importance of voting to resistant students. O'Connor states, "If we want our age demographics taken seriously, we need to vote because what happens in politics does affect us." Scott Greenwood, Associate Political Science professor, agrees that in order to persuade students to vote, activists need to, "Make it clear to them not only do their votes count, but policies affect them." He goes on to say that the student fee increase has had a huge affect on students' lives but that students often don't see the connection between changes in their everyday lives and politics that make these changes. members of a democracy." James Nguyen, member of Lobby Core and past intern for an assemblyman, feels that students aren't aware of issues that affect them. He states that, "Students feel alienated from the political process." Due to the efforts of the Lobby Core, the recent voter registration encouraged more than 200 students to register. Lobby Core members have been successful because, according to Nguyen, "They motivate students to participate by tailoring the message of the importance of voter registration to identify issues that directly affect students." Another reason students are not active in the political process is the individualist thinking that one vote doesn't count. Greenwood states, "The perception is that one vote doesn't matter but the problem with that is if everyone did that, no one Nguyen hopes that in the future more would vote." He uses the Florida election students will register and vote because, to illustrate the importance of each vote. "Your vote is your voice, right, and duty as "Voters have the responsibility to hold the a concerned citizen." government accountable; it's our job as �The mm hmimm^tt PrlcfeVT S taff W riters E ditorial S taff E ditor-in-Chief E lizabeth B aldwin A cacia C ollins A lex R osalino AriBavis C had S pinks J onathan D anielle B oldt ¡l|||||ll||| • Photo; M i t o r D oug l Lasater A ssistant B esigo; E ditor R oberto P elia N ews E ditor S arah C axiin Featiiirf E ditor LkaGeorge A &EEditor K atie S ammoiis O nline E ditor Robert W oerheide Oistributioja A drian C iiiidiff l&v&inkm M anager S tephanie S app .

P ARKING UPDATE By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter "It's definately a lot better compared to other schools" Students arrived on campus this semester to find a major difference in the parking situation. The addition of temporary lots X, Y, and Z has provided students with extra parking to accommodate the growing number of commuters. There has been no need to implement stack parking or curb parking which has been used in past semesters. approximately 1000-1200 new spaces. However, according to Patty Hill of parking services, the cost for the new lots will affect the budget for future parking structures. The current plan for meeting future budget needs is outlined on the parking services website (www.csusm.edu/parking). The additional parking has been successful in improving Parking services estimate upon parking problems from that the addition of the past years.

F Î tared DC ��PROP 54: Yes or No? By MELISSA RODRK5ÜEZ Pride StaffWriter What ethnic group do you identify yourself with; American Indian, African American, Mexican American, Japanese, White, Pacific Islander, or the all encompassing "other?" As students we are familiar with answering the question of our ethnic identity. It is an ever present query on college admission applications. If, on October 7th or whenever the recall electionfinallytakes place, Proposition 54 will be voted on. stated "Since we do not use race/ ethnicity for admission purposes, Prop 54, if passed will not have any effect on our office." Dr. Karen Nicholson, the Director of Student Health Services also states that "The way healthcare is provided here will not be affected." The first article of the proposition states: (a) "The State shall not classify any individual by race, ethnicity, color, or national origin in the operation of public education, public contracting or public employment." In article (c) it states that for its purposes the word "classifying" "shall be defined as the act of separating, sorting, or organizing by race, ethnicity, color or national origin..." Though Prop 54 would not extensively affect the State University system it could possibly hinder laws dealing with equal employment opportunity. Professor Stephen Nichols, Political Science Department Chair, though confident that Prop 54 will not pass, stated that if it does pass, "It would make it more difficult to implement Affirmative Action." Cases where racial information is not required by the federal government it will be illegal to collect. For Understandably this issue is very controversial and example, the ethnicity question will be removed from opinions are clearly divided with most conservatives applications to state universities because the State supporting and most liberals opposing the proposition. government, not the federal government, is responsible for gathering that data. Sean Mattingly, President of the College Republicans said "Prop 54 is a step towards being a color blind society, There are some exemptions to the law if it is passed. and that's how it should be. Quotas and Affirmative Action Situations in which this data will still be legally gathered keep qualified people out of positions because there are are; to be in compliance with federal law (to remain eligible quotas to fill, and that's not right." for federal funds), law enforcement purposes and to collect data for medical research. When asked what she thought regarding Prop 54, Cheyenne Barr, the President of the Progressive Activists Will this affect admissions or health services here at Network, answered "I am against it as is most of the PAN CSUSM? Director for Admissions, Cherine Heckman, group. I don't believe that this is a colorblind society and before we use a law we need to get society in the right mindset."

Golden By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StaffWriter As exciting as it is being part of an expanding university in an ever expanding community, we must not forget the consequences of growth that will invariably confront us as we settle in to our surroundings. A most apparent consequence of this growth is experienced by every one of us at some point during our day; that is to say that our congested roadways are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with on a daily basis. Traffic is becoming more and more prevalent to such a degree that it is not reserved only for rush hour anymore. Delays caused by vehicle saturation on our roads coupled with the stress of higher education and, for many of us, employment in either full or part-time status virtually assures the pharmacological industry that there will be a fresh supply of customers for the variety of psychoactive drugs on the market for years to come. As we stand by waiting for improvements in our county's infrastructure, what can we do to preserve the last vibrating threads of our sanity in the face of the overwhelming stress that is the politics of driving? I drive for a relatively large delivery company. Sometimes, I am on the road for up to twelve hours a day. In this experience, I have seen an awful lot of madness, chaos, frustration, and pain. Super craziness in the form of big rigs passing on the inside shoulder to full on brawls over something as stupid as someone taking an extra thirty seconds to turn into a driveway. What truly amazes me is that there is essentially no one out there on the roads that is in as much hurry as I am with my job. Like I said, I am a delivery driver, so I am held accountable to be on time and on schedule with precision that rivals the railroad industry. What I have noticed and what I believe to be the key in dealing with the frustrating interpersonal issues that are a result of Rules & Turn traffic is the need of drivers as a whole to abandon the idea of ego when they are on the road. There is no need to take things personally while driving. Also, there is no need to use your vehicle as an extension of your ego. A car is a way to identify yourself and is a reflection of the driver's personality, but it should not be used as an instrument that will mechanize the driver's inability to step back and realize that all we are doing is driving. Here is a test to determine where you are at in terms of your ego and your driving. If you are driving down an interstate at 75 mph and someone comes up on your rear bumper, what do you do? Do you slow down and throw your hands up in an attempt to agitate this person who has come up behind you? Do you later complain about the proliferation of tailgaters on our roadways and what is to be done about it? If you answered yes to those questions, can you see that you are adding to the problem rather than providing a sliver of relief? I do not see the same problem with tailgating that others tell me about. In fact, I often ask the person who is complaining about being tailgated why they did not just yield the lane and let the person behind them pass. The response is normally along the lines of the complainer not wanting the tailgater to get the better of them. Huh? Get the better of what? What is the goal of commuting? Is there a prize awaiting the driver who did not get bested in a day? The variable nature of the animal we call traffic is so convoluted that it is ludi- Signals crous to assume we are in competition with the other drivers on the road. With every different driver embarking on a different course with a different mindset, how can a conclusion be drawn that there is a code of uniformity that can be applied to our commutes? The idea that no matter what, we can not be bested by another driver must be done away with immediately. The purpose of driving is to reach a destination, not inflame our fellow drivers with rage. The emotions that are the result of mixing the ego with the auto are a dangerous combination: those are emotions spawned by two entities that should have never been brought together. We need to think more conscientiously about other drivers and the effects that our actions are having on them and the flow of traffic in general. In addition, consistently using turn signals and a little patience will provide steps in the right direction for introducing some sanity into our commutes. Because we have all been in traffic and, perhaps, even watched situations develop from something small to chaos very quickly, we all need to be thinking on the roadways. Like I have said, I have seen a lot of things on roads in the course of my job. Since we are all working to reach a destination when we drive, there is one thing I do not want see anymore of out there and that is a yellow sheet covering the body at the scene of accident. For if that is what your ego gets you when you mix it with driving, then think of how your ego looks draped in yellow. S e x In the School: AIDS Is Way Worse Than Ants In the Pants ByJONRODLEY Pride StaffWriter Here we all are students of the fall 2003 semester and maybe beyond. It's good to be back, for some reasons: all the cute girls and boys walking around. The semester is here and with it comes the parties and friends and relationships. It's hot outside and warm at night Parents, do you know where your sons and daughters are? Students, you know what's happening after those parties, even during them probably. Be careful, protect yourselves, it can be a hostile world under the covers. That person you're with, do you know who they were with before you? If you can't remember the amount of people you've been with, or even if you played safe with any of them, here's a story for you. At the end of 2001, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported there were 4,926 San Diegans that had a medical condition. What started as a virus, turned into a life threatening syndrome. Some of the people, about 79 percent of whom, got their medical problem from having sex. What can happen because of it? It starts with an H to the I, followed by a V. This in turn can be followed by acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Do you know for sure that you don't have it? AIDS spreads through sharing needles (drugs, insulin, steroids, piercing, and tattoos). It spreads through having sex, including orally. The other way is from transplants or transfusions or from birth. It affected over 362,827 people in the U.S. by December of 2001. San Diego had 3,921 infected people that got AIDS from having sex. That's not including all the people not yet listed that are possibly having sex while carrying HIV. Maybe they don't know they have it. People do have the option of checking themselves with home delivery tests. These usually cost anywhere from $30 to $60 per test. Students at CSUSM, however, have the option of finding out for $15 and anonymously whether or not they are a carrier of HIV. 2000 2001 i U.S. AIDS cases per 1009000 [ population.

The ratio of people that have it in the region is low. The CDC reported that in 2001 only 318 people in San Diego had AIDS because of hetero sex; not withstanding possible HIV cases. Students might say they are too scared to get tested. They don't want to know the truth. Others think that they can't get the disease because they are a good person and only bad people get AIDS. Others might say they don't want to be shunned or treated differently if they test positive. The biggest reason is that some people are ignorant. Still getting their facts from the 80's about how people get it, or where it's contracted. This isn't the Caribbean where one in five people have contracted the syndrome. We're an educated people with awareness. Self denial won't heal a problem if it's there. The CDC reports that keeping stats on HIV contractions will play a major role in limiting the spread of the syndrome. They assert the importance of keeping records to have a better understanding of how it spreads. The statistics will aide in prevention and care efforts. Those that do find they have HIV can still live a normal life. The sooner they find out, the better. If people don't have it, they can keep themselves and others clean by learning more. It's important. There are over 31,000 people in this country aged 13 to 24 that have AIDS. California has 14 percent of the general AIDS population. In 2001 the CDC reported there were 807,000 adults/adolescents with AIDS; of these, 462,000 (57 percent) died, It can be a scary world if you're not protected. Stay smart and get tested. �W hat H appened W hen t he S cores W ent D own T he H istory B ehind t he C SET-MS By USA GEORGE Features Editor/Staff Reporter Remember when there was a urgent need for teachers? Permits called emergency credentials were given to those who had a Bachelors degree and answered the call to teach. These teachers were a great asset for the schools, for a short time. When No Child Left Behind, a revival of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act went into affect, it provided schools around the country with a measuring stick from which to measure school and student's progress. NCLB also gave the federal government reasonable cause to push for highly qualified teachers. Students were given yearly examinations to measure their progress. If the students' test results came back in the low category, the school was examined and parents were given the option of having their children bussed to a higher performing school. Due to a lack of highly qualified teachers in low performing school districts, students and schools suffered. Watching this trend continue, the federal government placed California in the hot seat and demanded that they become NCLB compliant. This meant all schools needed to have highly qualified teachers. Colleges and universities needed to update their programs so that by the time a credential was issued that teacher would meet the state requirements within NCLB guidelines. The result of the commotion would then provide California's children with highly qualified teachers and in turn provide higher test scores. all schools in every school district will require teachers to have passed of the CSET-MS. Those who have received their multiple subject teaching credentials from July 1, 2002 and after will be required to take the exam and pass all Along with emergency credentials three sections to teach in California. going under review, credential programs around California were also examined.

Perhaps you are having difficulty concentrating in class? You could have Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or some sort of other mental, physical, or sensory challenge. The Disabled Student Services (DSS) is the place to go to get evaluated and get assistance. The university funded program offers its services free of charge to those students with a documented disability and who are determined by DSS to be eligible for services. For example, students with learning disabilities will often have gone through a psyçho-educational assessment to diagnose their disability. Such documentation is invaluable to DSS for determining manageable accommodations. determine what your functional limitations are compared to others in your same age and gender group. Too depressed to pay attention? Good news! You may qualify for DSS. Yes, depression does count as a disability if it causes you to lack concentration or affects your ability to process information.

Directed by Louis Spisto, the play is brought to life by a brilliant cast, namely Billy Campbell as Benedict, Dana Delany as Beatrice, Adam Ludwig as Claudio, and Erica Tazel as Hero, to name a few. Set in Italy, just after World War I, the play encompasses themes of love, deceit, redemption, and forgiveness, while simultaneously maintaining a humorous and clever tone throughout. Though the script remains true to Shakespeare's original Elizabethan style, the characters do not speak with the thick, old English accent like you may be dreading. In fact, the characters speak normally, while sticking to the original script. This ensures that your time will be spent enjoying the dialogue, rather than trying to decipher what exactly is being said. Every cast member performed wonderfully, but, without a doubt Delany and Campbell brought extra life to their roles and to the play's overall plotline. By adding hilarious mannerisms and ticks to their characters, Campbell and Delany were able to engage the audience completely. Campbell makes his first entrance on stage by tumbling through the crowd, spreading a lot of energy throughout the theater making the audience feel like active participants in the play rather than distant observers. Campbell's animated facial expressions left the audience roaring with laughter, while Delany's sarcastic witticisms had the crowd hanging on her every word. With the completion of each scene, the crowd responded with enthusiastic applause. These two alone make this play worth watching. "Much Ado about Nothing" will continue to run throughout September until October 12th. The play is performed Tuesday through Sunday, and tickets may be reserved online, over the phone, or at the box office at the Old Globe Theater in Balboa Park. If you plan to buy tickets in person on the night of the performance, be sure to call a few hours early to make sure that seating is available, and also to check out the A dam L udwig, P ichard Poe a nd J eff W oodman, w ith B illy C ampbell c rouching b elow in T he O ld G lobe's f estival 2 003 p roduction of M UCH A DO A BOUT N OTHING, b y W illiam S hakespeare, d irected by B rendon F ox, p laying in t he L owell D avies F estival T heatre S ept 5 t hrough O ct 12.

An Interview with artist Margaret Nee I ndustrial T ake O ver: A b rief g limpse of o ur l ocal d isappearing g reenhouses By LISA GEORGE Pride Features Editor/Reporter Have you noticed the faded wood panels in the library hallway? What about the discolored greenhouse door? Both of these relics serve as mounts for a photographic collection from CSUSM alumna Margarat Nee. Nee is a visual artist who opts for a unique close encounter with the local and devastated greenhouses which are disappearing from North County. Many of us have noticed the scarcity of greenery in San Diego. This is an unfortunate result of the industrialization which started in the 1950s, determined to encourage the growth and development of a nationally known city. However, there are always two sides to every coin. Nee illustrates this through her exhibit, "Light Architecture Southern California Greenhouse Vernacular" located in our campus library September 1 7-November 30,2003. Take a close look at the faded pictures nailed into the old wood. Notice how the images take on a ghost-like quality, an aura of antiquity. Then reflect upon Nee's efforts and message; these greenhouses have a determinable fate, as Nee puts it, an "inevitable disappearance". Nee is an artist in both her vision and her production of an issue which is very close to many who have laid their roots in San Diego. The quality of her interpretive documentary is intentionally representative of the current issues facing local residents. If you look closer into the photographs or take a gander at the references provided for more information, you might notice a few oddities about greenhouses. Besides their fading presence in southern California, greenhouses are part of an industry as well. Take a close look at the various draping of material over the greenhouse walls. Nee is inviting you to challenge your ideas about the very concept of greenhouses; industry is everywhere; factories are becoming our visual wonder in the metropolitan jungle. Nee has been a resident of North County for 25 years, an artist for 15 years. She continues in her artistic exploration of contemporary issues by altering the unconventional media which calls out to her. At http: //margaratnee.com/index.html you will find her various collections, each with a poignant statement, depicted through her alteration of photography in her personal style. Margarat Nee is driven by her quest for highlighting what is all too easily overlooked. She urges CSUSM students, faculty, and staff to "be aware of where things come from". By bringing about awareness of where raw materials and products originate, we will catch glimpses of the native light dwindling in the shadow of development.

Interim President Roy McTarnaghan, student leaders and faculty administrators were among the speakers who took part in thanking architects, faculty, private contributors, and students from past and present, for making the Field House/Student Union a reality. Assistant Manager of the Field House/ Student Union Tim Bills thanked Colleen Clarke for speeding up the project with her donation of over one million dollars. The late Helene Clarke donated $1.2 million to honor her husband M. Gordon Clarke who died in 1968. Not only did Helene Clarke contribute to the Field House/Student Union but she also contributed in other divisions of the athletic department, which totaled nearly $4 Million. Bills also said that the Field House/ Student Union should be the center for wellness at Cal State San Marcos. However, he described wellness a little different than what is known by the average person. According to Bills, "Wellness is more than just the absence of disease." Wellness is " ... the appreciation that everything you do that you think that you feel and that you believe has an impact of your state of health and well being." ASI President Honee Folk also paid gratitude towards the contributors and placed an emphasis on the students who paid their Field House/Student Union fees. According Folk, "We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to the many students who have paid the Student Union fees and invested in improving the quality of the university for the generations to come. "We (students) deserve a place that makes us the number one priority, and it's finally here." Good luck to all participants.

"On a campus that prides itself on diversity, it's important that we students broaden our educational experience through these types of cultural awareness events," he said. Members of the Jewish community hoped that this celebration would encourage other Jews to come together to celebrate.

However, as a Trustee, Cruz Bustamante was not present for the vote which passed in July. and his Inner-City Games Foundation and lead the campaign to pass California's Proposition 49 to increase funding for after school programs. In 1991, Schwarzenegger served as executive commissioner of the Hollenbeck Youth Center Inner-City Games in Los Angeles. This gave kids education, opportunities and encouragement. He was given the Muhammad Ali Award by Ali himself in 2002. The California Faculty Association (CFA), which strives to fight for issues regarding faculty rights and support for CSU funding, has taken a firm "No on recall" stance/ According to the CFA website (www.calfac.org) they have yet to make an official endorsement for a particular candidate. According to the Lieutenant Governor's website, Bustamante has been credited, with launching the College Opportunity Outreach Program (COOP) aimed at promoting the new $1.2 billion Gal Grant opportunities to prospective college students. ByŒADSPINKS Pride StaffWriter With the future of Democrats in Sacramento under scrutiny with the recall of Governor Gray Davis, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante is campaigning with a "No on recall, yes on Bustamante" approach. As the top running candidate for the Democratic Party, students speculate how Bustamante will affect education. Bustamante is currently a member of the University of California board of regents and is acting chairman for the Trustees of the California State University (CSU) system. An important issue which affected CSU students Cruz supported the AB 16, K-12 & Higher Education Bond, which passed on the November 2002 ballot. The $12 billion bond focuses on the building and repairs of schools from high school to universities. The California-Mexico Scholars program, another college program established by Bustamante, offers postgraduate students opportunities to study at Mexican universities and opportunities for Mexican graduate students to study at California universities. Now, running for the Governor of California, Schwarzenegger has some plans with education in the state. Though not yet specified, Schwarzenegger's campaign website, http://www.joinarnoldxom/en/, said he will promote opportunities for students and work to make California's educational system stronger. He will make sure California schools contain the tools necessary to serve the students. He wants to invest more in teachers, the website said. By TIM JOHNSON Pride StaffWriter He's been on the big screen starring in many action packed movies such as all three "Terminator's" and "True Lies." He is also known for his bulging muscles giving him the look of a tough guy. Now Arnold Schwarzenegger is flexing his muscles through politics running for Governor of California. Schwarzenegger was born in Graz, Austria and came to the United States at the age of 21with only $20. He became a successful businessman before becoming an actor as an action-hero. He helped children through the Special Olympics Schwarzenegger supports Proposition 98 and his website said that he will protect California's commitment to education funding. He plans on letting schools make the decisions and building more of them. The website said he will send more funding into education for teachers, materials, and better schools. In his campaign website it said Schwarzenegger has big plans for the future of California and will work to make this state better. He thrives on the importance of education to give students a better opportunity in their lives.

Unfortunately, my email address was cut off my column in our first issue, thus making the feedback received somewhat limited to observations I have made on campus. I am encouraged by these observations. I see "The Pride" in the hands of students in the classroom or walking around campus.

Educators in the state, including the California Teachers Association, argue that accountability in schools would be undermined due to the inability to collect data such as graduation and high school drop out rates. Programs designated to help improve schools would be significantly at risk if Proposition 54 passes. The Coalition for an Informed California, comprised of hundreds o f health, educational and civil rights groups, argues that Prop. 54 would undermine educational accountability, effectively block the collection of vital information needed to identify, track and address health disparities and cripple the state's ability to protect civil rights. Another major criticism of Proposition 54 deals with the protection of civil rights. Although data identifying race and ethnicity would no longer be collected, we understand that discrimination would undoubtedly still exist. Without racial and ethnic data, however, cases involving racial discrimination and racial profiling would be nearly impossible to Though often cited as a response to successfully prosecute. the health criticisms of the initiative, The arguments in favor of Proposition the health exemption on "medical 54 are deceptive, misleading and do research and patients" would still ban the collection of data needed to identify and not take into account the negative critically analyze disease and illnesses in implications affecting health, education and civil rights.

President of the North County National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Rob Howard, Associate Professor of Communication Dr. Dreama Moon, and Associate Professor of Sociology Dr. Garry Rolison took part in speaking, answering questions, and addressing students concerns regarding Prop. 54. Prop. 54, which is scheduled to be on the special election October 7, ban the use and collection of ethnic and racial data in California. This ethnic and racial data is widely used by many different companies including: healthcare organizations, Police departments, schools, businesses, government agencies, etc. Dr. Moon said, "White women are diagnosed with breast cancer at a higher rate than any other group of women. Asian Americans are at a higher risk for hepatitis B. Latinos are more likely to die from complications of diabetes and African Americans die from heart disease than any other group." She also said that healthcare professionals use ethnic and racial data to find put why certain groups suffer from certain types of illnesses. Without the information these agencies will not be able find a solution. Dr. Moon also brought up the issue that she has been involved with the San Diego Police Department of racial profiling. She said that Hispanics and Blacks are more likely to be stopped by police officers in proportion to the population and that the San Diego Police Department acknowledges that police officers often engage in racial profiling and have developed programs to teach officers how to cease this practice.

A Masters degree could provide the status and recognition it may take to achieve your dreams. * Here is afinalword of warning. Make sure references are approached far in advance so that they will write the very important letter of recommendation within the time constraints important to the applicant. It is wise to tell the reference that their letter will remain confidential: the candidate will not b e reading it. This will allow the reference to be more expressive in their response. The reference should be a faculty member or distinguished person who knows you well and will write glowing praises. It is important to provide each of your references with a list of your strengths, accomplishments, and goals from which they will draw when writing the letter. Above all else, make sure that you "enjoy every minute of it. You'll never be there again" said Hayton. The time spent in graduate school will be two very important years to develop your writing skills, your professional goals, and yourself.

The job fair, hosted by the California Center for the Arts of Escondido on October 2, provided an opportunity for job seekers to look for work in one concentrated location. CSUSM did not host the job fair this year, but was one of the sponsors. CSUSM Job Fair Coordinator, Pam Wells, said, "We are not hosting the job fair on campus this year due to budget cuts, but we will have an on campus job fair scheduled for April 15, next year." Many employers expressed an interest in offering undergraduate and postgraduate students opportunities such as internships and basic field experience. Kathleen Bloomfield of Community Interface Services (CIS) said, "We do like seeing students. I was a student myself when I was hired here." She added, "We haveflexiblejobs, many where you set your own schedule." Robyn Heckler, Human Resources Manager of TRI-AD, said, "We are involved in the senior experience project and we offer internships for students/We currently have about ten student employees and we try to beflexiblewith scheduling around school." The event attracted all types of individuals looking for work. Erick Emms, a CSUSM senior, said, "It's pretty 1>ig, and it has a diverse selection of employers, from retail to professional. I'm just looking to see what's out there. • Students who missed the event can look forward to future job fairs currently in the works. The Rancho Bernardo and Poway Chambers of Commerce will host a career fair on Oct. 21.Last year the fair attracted over 1200 job seekers. In regards to seniors who are graduating this» December, Pam Wells urges students to bring resumes to the Career and Transfer Students Services (CATSS), adding "The RISE (Resuine/Interview Services for Employment) program submits student resumes to over 40 companies. The deadline f6r December graduates to submit resumes is Oct. 10." Provided by the job fair committee were complimentary bagels and coffee, along with handouts from the Employment Development Department (EDD) on jobfindingtips. Attendants were also given access to a booth reserved for resume critiques.

We, as a group, are excited with the response we are getting from the readers. Personally, I share this enthusiasm with the others because I am seeing empty newsstands and students with The Pride around campus. Also, I think the enthusiasm we have for the paper comes through in our reporting. The interactions I have had on campus with students and faculty are pro- ductive. Quite honestly, I have yet to hear any harsh criticism of The Pride and our stories. Be that as it may, if there are any harsh critics out there go ahead and email as well. On the topic of emails, I have received some emails that do concern me. The primary concern I have is that we are reporting on topics that encompass the entire campus, not just to specific groups. In this case, it is graduate students that have voiced interest in our workings at The Pride. As I perused the three issues up to this point, I noticed that THE PRIDE Corrections there were not articles specifically addressing the concerns of graduate students. Our articles cover stories that affect the campus as a total community from faculty to both undergraduate and graduate students. However, if there is something that we are missing in regards to our coverage of graduate activities^ please let me know and we will work on those ideas. That is it for this week. My email address is d o lan005@c s usm. e d u . Please contact me and voice your thoughts on The Pride.

The SUV and truck show sure was neat, I would also like to thank the College Republicans for clearing up my misconceptions about the Republican Party. I was under the false impression that Republicans stood for things like fiscal responsibility, individual freedoms, economic opportunity, family values, accountability, and common sense. I'm sure glad to be informed that . the new crux of the conservative agenda is SUVs. I was under the misimpression that the root of "conservative" is "conserve". SUVs don't conserve anything, so I guess I was wrong about that. So what does being Republican have to do with driving a wasteful vehicle? This question puzzled me as I walked through the protestors in Chavez Plaza. I thought to myself, perhaps the College Republicans are just celebrating our freedom to purchase any vehicle we want. That seems noble enough, but as Americans we have many freedoms. Are our CSUSM Republicans going to celebrate our freedom to purchase pornography? What about guns or booze? If we're going to celebrate our freedoms on campus we might as well have a giant porn display, get liquored up, and showcase the latest firearms in Chavez Plaza. I'll make sure to show; up wearing my finest f ur coat and baby otter loafers. Such an event would surely attract the masses to the College Republican cause. The more I think about it the more confused I get. Republicans promote individual freedom, but our College Republicans showcase the irresponsible excess resulting from this freedom. By aligning conservatives and SUVs the message is clear: Republicans at Cal State San Marcos really are the selfish and uncompassionate people you thought they might be. Once again I want to thank the College Republicans for setting the record straight. Republicans are not here to defend small business, encourage economic growth or lower your taxes. R e p u b l i - cans are not here to create jobs, pro- mote moral responsibility, or to ensure equality of opportunity. We 're here to sell you a bigger car.

You can pay 99 cents for a crunchy bowl of day old rice or grab a pocket full of fortune cookies for free. Do not mistake free for good; the fortune cookies are by no standard worth bragging about. Free, however, is always noteworthy. Most students who eat at The Dome fail to notice there is no price tag posted for fortune cookies. Students walk in thé food arena and walk out five dollars poorer when they could have satisfied that undeniable urge for proteins, carbohydrates and sugars for free with a fortune cookie. The history of the fortune cookie dates back to the 13th and 14th century when the Mongols occupied China. The Chinese needed a way to communicate dates of uprisings without being caught. Lotus nut paste moon cakes werefilledwith important SWIM Eatm information and then distributed in safety knowing Mongols had not acquired a taste for the recipe. This strategy eventually led to the formation of the Ming Dynasty and the freedom of China. Furthering the tradition, Chinese 69'ers put messages of good fortune into a cookie, instead of a cake, and exchanged them at the Moon Festival. Since then, the tradition of the fortune cookie has been extended to a complimentary desert provided on behalf of Chinese restaurants. On numerous occasions I have used fortune cookies as a means of survival. As a freshman at CSUSM, my friends and J would take platefuls of fortune cookies and share them amongst ourselves to substitute a five-dollar meal. During my sophomore year the act of sitting around a fortune cookie covered table underwent a transformation similar to that of the moon cake- survival strategy to tradition. Two or three of us would walk in the exit of the food per What are hour!

After twenty to thirty cookies were on the plate, head for the exit and return to the designated table. My junior year represented a stage of rebellion. The goal, make a clear statement about food in The Dome. Instead of walking in the exit, we entered through the entrance. As a group we glanced over the different options of food (as though interested) and after utter disgust, walked to the beverage machine,filleda cup with ice water, turned to the fortune cookies andfilledour pockets with enough to imitate a full meal. Then we would wait in line, along with other paying students, pay the fifteen cents due for the cup of ice water and snicker as though fifteen cents was too much to charge for ice water. Fortune cookies have a lot to offer a person: A meal, a snack, a messaging system, a history, a tradition, a word of encouragement, even a business. It is INSTRUCTORS $1"(|®|-$16.00 Vm : had: this conversation, I wondered just how the law has instilled a mentality to only think of ourselves as drug users if we are using drugs deemed illegal, regardless of their health risks. When I pointed out the contradictory nature of her argument, I was treated the traditional response for someone in her position, "I know, but..." Is that an acceptable response for someone who has just been enlightened to the normalcy that permeates within drug use? It must be since that is the answer one will most likely receive in this situation. However, that answer does not poke at the heart of the matter which is drugs are drugs regardless of how they are defined by law and 1 , really? society; A perfect example of how the law defines and shapes our acceptability of certain drugs can be found in alcohol. While popular in use and acceptability, alcohol has not always been the social fixture it is today. During Prohibition, the law would have the public believe that alcohol was a bad drug. White that did not deter everyone from drinking, it did change the perception society has of alcohol and its consumption. When Prohibition ended, alcohol's negative stigma also ended, making the prevalent drug it is today. Alcohol is not alone in being defined in terms that are dictated by the law. All of our controlled substances are defined as such. I now refer back to my friend who was drinking coffee and smoking while explaining her choice not to use illegal drugs. She is readily using drugs in the nicotine and caffeine she consumes on a regular basis, but she does not perceive this consumption as dangerous or problematic since this usage is legal. Also, society, while increasingly discouraging smoking, openly encourages coffee drinking. Think about how many of those green circles with the lady in the middle you see as you drive around. Is there something fundamentally wrong with our society encouraging one kind of drug use while punishing others who use another type of drug? Yes. There is a problem with a double standard in our social fabric. I think we can start to move in the right direction by realizing that they are only drugs regardless of legality. These drugs are defined by laws which are not absolute and are subject to repeal/ These laws shape how society views certain drugs and their usage. When thinking about drugs and reasons behind "why" and "how" for our own usage, we should be thinking of the driSgs we take and how our perception of them is shaped by the forces of law and society. This column is not intended to insinuate a free for all drug bender, it is intended to bring to light the complex and contradictory nature of our society. I should remind my friend that the next time she is enjoying her cup of coffee while reading a. newspaper article about a police raid on a drug house to look around her coffee house and ask herself, what is the difference and why won't this place be next? �ARTS 8 Tuesday, October 07,2003 T HE P ftlDE A nything E lse ByKRISTENREES Pride StaflfWriter This quirky yet romantic comedy should have been rated N for nuts. Thisfilmis unique because the main character, Jerry Falk (Jason Biggs) narrates each scenario for the audience. Thefilmis full of off-beat and hilarious antidotes, Jerry, a young up and coming comedy writer, is trying to figure out why his eccentric girlfriend Amanda played by Christina Ricci won't sleep with him anymore. Jerry's new friend, school teacher and aged comedian David Dobel (Woody Allen) gives Jerry all sorts of advice about Amanda throughout the film. He fires Jerry's lousy manager and teaches Jerry how to survive in New York City. Unfortunately Jerry has a weakness when it comes to ending relationships with anyone. He can't bring himself to break up with Amanda even though he believes that she is cheating on him. Jerry's situation quickly worsens when Amanda's alcoholic mother, Paula played by Stockard Channing, moves in with them. This film is unique and funny. It isiTt your typical romantic comedy. The neurotic girlfriend, and the over analytical Jerry, are amusing but not so much as Allen's character. Woody Allen does a masterful job at playing Dobel and was probably the reason why I enjoyed this film so much. Having the main character narrate throughout seems a little odd at first but the casting was done so well that the story is very believable and very entertaining; Anything Else is a young and funny. I would recommend it to anyone.

X I N 0.5 v CSUSM Students Speak On Schwarzenegger CFA By MELISSA RODRTGT1F7. By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter Ever since voters decided to hold California's first ever recall election everyone has been talking, debating, predicting and being entertained by all the media chatter. The whole nation was watching. Would Gray Davis retain his j ob as Governor? Or would voters choose one of the 135 candidates running against him? Now the election is over, when the official results are announced, Davis will hand the reigns of the state over to Gov.-elect, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Now, election buzz is dying down and CSUSM students hope that Gov. Schwarzenegger will do right by them. "I really hope that he does well, not because I like the guy, but because I'd like to see the conditions in California improve," said James Nguyen, a third year political science and economics major. Nguyen was against the recall and did not support Schwarzenegger as a candidate. " I hope things will change, I hope .. ... Am^ „ — schools get funding and that they don't cut classes because education is important." said Angela Morgan a business major who voted for Schwarzenegger. CSUSM students had differing reactions to the results of the r^irjSBf!^' m election. Some students are confident that voters have made the right decision in voting for Schwarzenegger. "I think he's well qualified to govern. I think he can step up and battle the issues, he has the charisma, he is forceful and able to do what he wants." said student Mike Markarian. "I'm glad he won because California is so f ar to the left any movement towards the right is a positive" saidMandy Schatzinger, a communications major in her junior year. "I don't think he's the sharpest tool in the shed but he's what California needs."

FEATim mmm Urges Change, Budget Management By JONATHAN RODLEY Editor in Cheif While budget cuts gouge the California State University (CSU) system, students and teachers are on the lookout to make sure their needs are met. Classroom instruction, class size, and funding are now protected by provisions made by the California Faculty Association (CFA). The CFA created a document in July 2003 to direct how the brunt of the budget should b e assigned at campus facilities. Along with the 2003-404 budget, the CSU chancellor sent the document to campus |$ administrators before the fall semester started. If need be, the chancellor said he would investigate and correct administrators that didn't follow the guidelines. At CSUSM some teachers think that administration isn't doing enough. "They George Diehr really haven't come to grips with the severity of the cuts " said George Diehr, CSUSM chapter president for the CFA. The CFA's document, called the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), protects undergraduate and graduate instruction. It w as adopted by the legislative budget committees and promotes cooperation between the CFA and the CSU. See B UDGET M ANAGEMENT, p age 2 Clubs Hindered By Copy Right Laws By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter Various clubs show documentaries on campus in order to attract and inform students of issues that they represent, however, because of Copy Right Laws and budget cuts these film showings have been impacted. The documentaries are vital to the livelihood of these organizations on campus. "It cost an estimated $400 to buy public ownership of a given film. The question becomes which clubs will receive money, and how much?" said Jonathon Poullard, dean of student affairs. Because of the cost of distribution rights and Student Residential Life's (SRL) indecision to allocate funds, campus organizations have not yet shown a film this semester.

Due t o t he e ffects of California's budget crisis, there is a continual impact on student involvement at Cai State San Marcos. With t he large cut backs to California State Universities, there is not enough money to p ay for the distribution f ights of these films. Pollard added that SRL can only supply a limited amount of money t o f und these films. Erik Roper, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) vice president and external vice president f or the Progressive Activist Network (PAN), mentioned t hree ways t o get approval of a film's copy rights. Roper said, " SRL told u s that we can do one of t hree things: —Pay each company the $400 t o show a movie; —Get a letter of approval f rom each company; —Have professors list films as p art of their syllabi. Poullard, however, says t he films would (legally) only b e made available t o the students of Budget Management continuedfrompage 1 "It puts primacy on education and requires administration t o report on these issues," Diehr said. The SRL gives priority t o the needs of classroom instruction while requiring reduction in administrative costs. I n California, the general f und f or the CSU decreased 11 percent f or the 2003-2004 budget, according to the CSU website. " There's going t o have t o b e t rimming," said Interim President Roy McTarnaghan. " The needs of student courses are our number one priority - getting t hem t o graduate on £ime is number one." McTarnaghan said that despite limitations on enrollment, CSUSM has more students and less money. "None of u s are thrilled the states e cono my is in t he situation i t's in, but we're all working e ffectively. «ür=F . P said.e h r McTarnaghan Di however, reckoned the e ffects of budget cuts and t hinks changes need to b e made in handling the budget. The CFA urges s taff and students to monitor their campus to ensure that the CSU complies with t he SRL. They provide a " to d o" list on how to monitor budget compliance at the CFA website. At CSUSM, among other things, the budget forced student f ee increases, class size increases, and also p art time lecturers were laid o ff. The CFA is very concerned about the e ffect on lecturers Diehr said. "Many of these teachers need to pay the rent and pay for food." Although t he budget h as had numerous impacts on students and s taff, the CFA recognized e fforts made by administration. "We're pleased with some steps, but we believe much more needs t o b e done," Diehr said. Diehr is also a professor of management science f or t he college of business administration. He said he sees t he potential f or improvement in how the college of business manages their estimated expenses. He said that officers those classes, not t o t he entire campus." These measures will cost students ample time, energy and money. Roper said that Swank Motion Pictures sells distribution rights of movies t o various institutions and colleges f or a m inimal cost. Roper and others would like t o see Cal State San Marcos get an institution p ass with Swank t o show films at a reduced price. Poullard agrees that there m ay b e a better solution that will help t o eliminate the tedious phone calls, large bake sells and car "have not touched the administrative p art of the budget." Regina Eisenbach, associate dean for the college o f business administration said, " It's premature t o draw that conclusion at this point. We have j ust received our fall 2003 budget so no prior decisions have been made." The SRL states that prior t o reducing classes, student services and library f unding, colleges must reduce administrative costs. " The college of business is sticking t o the supplemental language report to the best of our knowledge," Eisenbach said. She added that the college of business may or may not b e representative of other colleges. At this point however, Diehr said that there is "need f or real substantial changes." H e said that administration I R HRBVl • HB K k I f* it If i H II h asn't realized t he severity of the cuts and that t he s tructure and size of management must b e changed. " San Marcos h as t oo many mid level m anagers," D iehr said. " They're still t rying to m ake changes at t he margin -- increasing class sizes and terminating lectures." Diehr also said t he foundation could b e doing more f undraising t o address the budget crisis. Another goal of the SRL is to u se alternative f unding to help lessen t he impact of budget reductions. Diehr said that the foundation should be borrowing f unds and looking for more people to donate to CSUSM. " There is no magic bullet for this budget situation and we can expect increasing costs if not more budget cuts," Diehr said. "This is not going to be over at the end of this academic year." ^ f ^ ^ v ppyp|||||r ^ M j p p i j¡¡¡S| •• • ito b - washes.

A vaccination works by injecting a healthy subject with antigens, who in response develop antibodies to battle the foreign threat. Thereby, your body produces immunities to the more dangerous version of the antigen, the pathogen itself. Usually vaccinations are constructed to take care of A or B strains of the sickness. But as the Influenza virus mutates or alters over time, it is necessary to get a new vaccination every year. To contact the Student Health Services, please call (760) 750-4915.

Nguyen said, "Arnold lacks political experience.. .his moderate politics made him electable. I expect Arnold to be asking for a lot of consultation because he has no idea what he's getting himself into." Another student, Erin Sullivan said about Schwarzenegger, "I don't know if I can take him seriously because he's an actor, we'll see what kind of committee he comes up with." Student's concerns regarding budget cuts and rising tuition costs are not yet being directly handled by the governor. Although the eighth step of Gov. Schwarzenegger's "100 Day Agenda" listed on his website www.joinarnold.com is to "Streamline the bureaucracy and send more money to the classroom." there is no way to know exactly how the governor will address funding issues facing the California State University system. The Young Voters for Arnold website, www.arnold4gov.comdoes does contain a quote f rom the new governor regarding this situation, he says, "There is currently a leadership vacuum in Sacramento. With college tuition fees skyrocketing and classes being cut, young voters are paying the price for career politicians' mistakes. I intend to change all that."

Unfortunately, the turnout was poor and the students who did Like so many other young females show their faces were the same ones you before me, I discovered the complete lack see at every on-campus event. of campus life at Cal State San Marcos These students acknowledge the lack of during my first semester here. a social scene on campus. They see this That was after the first several men I not as a problem with the atmosphere here approached told me about the significance at Cal State, but rather within the student body. "I look out and see people sitting in their cars during breaks on campus and that is ridiculous... This is a time to meet people and make lifelong friends; this isn't accomplished by removing yourself f rom the campus community" said Brett Gladys, student coordinator of the Programming Board. Gladys mentioned that it is essential to build a community on campus, but that students r efuse to involve themselves in the activities and programs here. Besides a lack of activities on campus, women have noticed that many of the single men here are unapproachable. Men on this campus often objectify women and go for those who are pretty, shallow, and generally subtract f rom the bank of human knowledge when they speak. This dynamic of male personality influences women to act the part of the easy superficial girl in order to get the guys. It's a never-ending circle with the result being that the singles here develop shallow relationships with equally shallow partners. Many singles on campus worry about pretensions, styles, impressions, and putting on fronts. What we really need to be concerned about is constructing a campus community and opening ourselves up to meet new people. Our goal should be creating a sense of belonging here at Cal State San Marcos. Albeit disappointing in attendance, the speed dating event did o ffer a solution to the crisis. Through more activities that promote relationships we will have life on this campus. Through more effort from the students we can create a campus spirit which encourages interaction. As Gladys said, "be the spirit you wish to see on campus."

When asked about the class he said "It's cool and it's easy for me and it's fascinating sometimes because it opens up my mind to new i deas" A fter that, he met up with new friends and went on to his calculus class, where his lack of sleep was beginning to catch up with him. "She (his teacher) writes fast and I was falling asleep. I didn't get any sleep in the last week," he said. Back in his dorm, Ronnie made chicken quesadillas, worked on homework with his friend Mike and watched "Porky's" with his roommate Aaron Koop. He walked to his last class of the day with his friend Mike, turned in his homework and went to the ASI Homecoming celebration outside. He saw his academic advisor and went back to his dorm room. Gratefully Ronnie slept for twenty minutes and went to work. Ronnie works at a convenience store on campus. At work, he danced to the music in the store and made his fellow Have you ever been sitting next to people in class and stopped to wonder about their lives? Who are they? Do they share the same interests as you? What is college like for them? For the next few issues, I plan on interviewing random students here at CSUSM and asking them those very same questions. You will get a chance to see what a normal day is like for other college students and how they cope with their .own home and college lives. Ronnie Swaim is an eighteen-year-old freshman here at CSUSM and one of the pioneer dorm residents on campus. He has many hobbies, including snowboarding, wakeboarding, motorcycling, and go-cart racing. One of his favorite hobbies is making new friends. "I love to talk," he explained to me, " I used to be really shy, but I 'm not as shy right now, because I don't know anybody at school, but I 'm still shy around girls at first." It was Monday night and Ronnie had agreed to his interview in my dorm room on the floor below his. Already an acquaintance of my roommates Erin and Ashley, he and his own roommates were on their way down to hang out with them. With a room f ull of noisy roommates, we agreed to grab some chairs, and sit on the f ar side of the kitchen, a little out of the range of noise. I asked him about his day and this is how he began. Ronnie woke up at 8:30 Monday morning and was really tired. He stayed up late with other dorm residents and was finding it very difficult to wake up. He had been up since 1 a.m. dancing with his roommates and friends. Ronnie talked about it: "I was hyper and really in a dancing mood because I 'm excited about the (Masquerade Ball). We started listening to music and two girls came over, so I started dancing and they were dancing and everyone was laughing because we were moving to the beat and I started dancing with them. "A couple of my favorite dance songs came up and we had a contest about who could dance the smuttiest. Michael Jackson came on and I started doing my Michael Jackson impression and we ended up getting three noise complaints. J uris D octor "We stopped playing the music so loud, but we began running around because we were all on a triple dose of coffee. A fter that JD/PhD - History or Political S cience we settled down and watched L IM - Trial A dvocacy "The Recruit". Around 1 p.m. I MZlfllM - Comparative Law went to bed and everyone left."

"I was Labor and Employment Law going to wear a collard shirt, but chose a t-shirt i nstead" he said. He went on to explain MISSION-FOCUSED CENTERS that he likes his collard shirts, but they're not as comfortable as his t-shirts and when he's tired, he feels more relaxed in a t-shirt. In a hurry, he grabbed a Gatorade and a nutra-grain employees laugh. A fter work, he went to Home Depot with his roommate Aaron and bought plants and appliances to decorate the float that was being designed for the Dorms. He worked on homework and then came to my dorm to visit my roommates, where he began his interview with me. A fter the rundown of his day, I felt like I was in a whirlwind.

CALIFORNIA WESTERN : Hi Bit If IIW S N DIGO A A 8A 1982 A AtS 1867 WWWX9lifornisWest0rn.edu �Hail To The OMBUDSMAN By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman One of the interesting aspects of the position of Ombudsman is that I am not required to necessarily agree with what our paper is doing. As such, I am not terribly distraught over our content or the direction our paper is heading; rather, there are minor problems that we overcome weekly and improve with each issue. One such problem I see is the manner in which we are handling corrections - all of them are not making it into The Pride each week. Therefore, I will be including the corrections at the end of my column from now on. The corrections that will be submitted will come from my own critique, the editors' observations and f rom reader inquiry. From the onset of the paper's distribution this semester, I am aware of two corrections that were overlooked last week that will be included this week. As always, I would like to encourage everybody to keep reading The Pride and sending me your feedback. Also, take The Pride home with you and share it with friends and family so they can get a sense of what is happening at your school. A fter all, if we are doing our j ob of providing a newspaper that is indicative of the campus as a whole then The Pride should be an accurate reflection of the campus worthy enough to share.

In this issue, in the caption accompanying the photograph with the article "Coffee Hour," the country of Colombia was misspelled Columbia. The Pride apologizes for the spelling error. Vol. XINo.4. On the front page and on page two in the article "Meet the Dean, Or Not," Vicki Golich is incorrectly identified as the dean of students. Jonathan Poullard holds that position. Ms. Golich's position is interim dean of the college of arts and sciences. Note to the Editor By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWiiier I believe that it was stupid for the powers that be to increase the student fees. That is a very direct statement and may seem harsh, but I feel there is no other way to state it. Other people and I registered in late June for this fall of 2003, but learned that we had been dropped due to a sudden student fee increase. They could have warned all the students about what they were going to do by sending out e-mails. My friend received a little card in the mail stating the financial change and said "I barely noticed it." When I did go to there office to ask why, they claimed they did send out e-mails. I wish I would have got one. Did you? Luckily I was able to re-register for classes. By Chris Martin CSUSM Student As the writer of the article in question, 78 magazine's "Get It On In The D orm" and a current student at CSUSM, I feel it pertinent to inform readers that the so-called "opposition" to the article, or rather the violators of our civil rights, failed to confront 78 magazine directly about their apparent concerns pertaining to the magazine's content and still remain anonymous. The premier issue of 78 was summarily rounded up and exiled to the bowels of the circular file for what could be construed as a protest to my evident lack of morality. This act strengthens our view point that we must all be vigilant if we are to maintain our civil rights on our college campuses. To Cathy Nguyen of Student Health Services I ask - what article were you reading? Like it or not, it is legal for the majority of University students to drink and have sex. Having a drink with a member of the opposite sex to blow off steam and possibly engage in an act of protected consensual sex is quite different f rom "taking advantage of inebriated girls (which) could lead to sexual assault." Contrary to your opinion, the message of "Get It On In The Dorm" was the following. Here are some stereotypes, lets laugh at them, and by the way, if you're going to have sex, be responsible. This was primarily a humor piece with a few crassly presented common sense pointers. For those of you who recognized it as such, congratulations. [mu.cmmwki cmm- Furthermore I find it offensive that you assume our student body is incapable of making rational decisions regarding their sexuality and that a few sarcastic remarks will lead educated adults to commit sexual assaults. Your objections make sense only if we blatantly r efuse to acknowledge the use of irony and take items out of context. Those trained to read critically can clearly see that the article was carefully constructed to address both genders. Any perceived "gender biases" are a result of careless reading and the injection of the readers' own preconceptions. I suggest you read the article again - this time analytically. 78 is alternative media - meaning we don't have to be for everyone. It also means we don't care if we r uffle a few feathers with the ultra-PC crowd. A fter all, t hat's the point of f ree speech: - To have f ree and open exchanges of ideas regardless of their popularity - The freedom to have a voice, to disagree, be disagreed with, and to trust people's competency to make up their own minds based on all the arguments. Deciding what information others can access is best left to fascist regimes. To produce media in any other manner would be considered a journalistic travesty not only by the publication I represent but by me as well. Finally, though we disagree, I want to thank Cathy Nguyen for participating and offering her opinion publicly and I hope more people will lend their voices to the forum - that's what 78 and The Pride are here for. �THE PRIDE A&E May I Take Your Order? By JOHNP. SCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Where do we go to eat? Whether out on that first date, hanging out with friends, or that special occasion, it's a question that plagues us all. It is a question that begs an answer. I took upon myself to find one. I picked what I thought were the best restaurants in the area t o fill out three basic categories: 1) a place to go with friends to socialize, 2) a place for a first date, and 3) the five-star anniversary special. If you are looking for a social atmosphere that allows for your underage friends to sit with you, you'd probably choose a place like TGI Friday's. Unfortunately there are no TGIF's in San Marcos. The closest one is in Oceanside. Most of us do not want the hassle of another long commute but, luck is just around the corner. There is a place that serves alcohol, but still allows for your underage friends to sit with you. They have great meals and delicious finger foods. The social setting will allow for you to get a little loud without offending other patrons. Drum rollplease. The answer to all your problems is the San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They have a whole selection of home brewed, non-pasteurized ales, such as: honey ale, a rich oatmeal stout, Premium Gold and a Weizenbock. T he possibilities are limitless. Fortunately, the brewery is only one exit West of Twin Oaks. All less than two minutes from the dorms! They have the typical finger foods like nachos,-potato skins, and chicken fingers, but also some more interesting items such as calamari stripsr and a sausage sampler. Entrees tend to be American, but there are a few things that stand out as being different like the Cajun chicken bow tie pasta and the ale battered shrimp (fantastic!). The prices are comparable to TGIF, with an average amount of $7 to $9 a plate. If you ever find yourself hungry while sitting around and watching television head over to San Marcos Brewery & Grill. They even have a take out menu. You can contact the brewery at (760) 471- 0050. If you're looking for a place to go on the ever important first date, look no f urther than The Old California Mining Company. They nicely blend sheik with affordability, which is great considering you'll need to purchase a parking pass next semester. The décor is reminiscent of an Old Mine. The inside consists chiefly of mining paraphernalia with wooden beams, mining carts, lanterns and shovels. The ambiance is quiet enough for you to talk. There are enough conversation pieces on the wall to help when there's nothing left to say. Just think; where else could you say things like, "Wow. Look at that ax!" or "Look at that lantern. By the way, can Î light your way home?" There is a really good selection of steaks. The food, aptly put is American. If you decide against the consumption of meat there is a selection of salads and pastas. The servings are not too big. The Old California Mining Company is a great place for a first date. It's not too loud, not too bold, and it has pretty darn good food at a price that will still let you pay for your books. You also have the option of ordering your food for take-out. Photo by John P Scripps/The Pride San Marcos Bar & Grill is a popular dinning hot spot on Restaurant Row. Unfortunately, there are not ' 5-star restaurants in San Marcos. However, there is one located in Old Town off Interstate 5 south, just before you get downtown. It is a bit of a hike, but a worthwhile trip especially when celebrating an anniversary or the like. The restaurant in question is called El Agave. It is an unsurpassed holein-the-wall Mexican restaurant. I have taken many friends there to prove my point and have yet to take one that disagreed with me once they'd finished their meal. The International Wine & Food Society, La Jolla Chapter (of which I am Tuesday, October 1 4,2003 7 RestaumntRow a member) awarded it their blue ribbon in your parents to pay for parking and books. 1998, which is no small achievement.

Whether you decide for a place to In regards to the f ood... there are n a dine with friends, a place to take that words. The sauces, which make or break special someone or a place to celebrate any five-star meal, are incredible in their variety and depth of flavor. Thè food is strictly Mexican. Some of the dishes have a unique twist imparted by the chef. For example, the filet mignon is smothered in a traditional peanut sauce and filled with goat cheese. It is a sort of Mexico meets the 21st century steak. It is extremely delicious. This restaurant lacks one of equal comparison. So for that big anniversary, show your loved one that you care.

NOPE By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter United Food and Commercial Workers, UFCW, members organized a strike against Kroger, Albertsons, and Safeway chain grocery stores that began October 13. According to the UFWC website, the strike is an effort to protect employee benefits which are being cut under a new provision. The new provisions would decrease medical benefits by half and jeopardize long term employee's pension plans. A lawsuit has been filed by UFCW Unions against Albertsons and Ralph's, who have locked out employées, for violating the California Mass Layoff Notification Law (California Labor Code: Section 1400). The law requires all employees to be given 60 days notice prior to a mass layoff. Andrea Conner stands at the entrance of the Ralph's shopping center holding a picket sign reading, "Ralph's Employees On Strike."

As the most common cancer found in women after Lung Cancer, it has been predicted that 211,300 women will develop Breast Cancer in 2003 and 44,000 American women will die this year. Because of the high mortality rate and risk for Breast Cancer, October 17 is National Mammography Day. Throughout the month of October, radiologists offer free or discounted screening mammograms. With various "pass the word' campaigns, encouragement of early detection plans, and sponsored walks such as the San Diego Stride Against Breast Cancer Walk, people have joined together to create awareness and help battle this disease. There are some risk factors that put you at a higher risk for developing Breast Cancer: 1. If you are a woman (occurs in men also, but it is very rare) 2. If you are over age 50 you have a higher chance. 3. A close family history of breast cancer (although there are a higher number of cases found in women without a history).

Nichole Hollick is a twenty-one year old student at GSUSM who is majoring in English. She sits in my Tuesday, Thursday Literature class, and like me, is originally from Temecula Valley High School. We even graduated the same year. When asked about High School, she told me that she used to want to become a veterinarian. She joined a medical academy program in High School, but soon realized that it wasn't for her. "I was like why am I doing this? I wanted to be a veterinarian!" It was by the end of high school when she realized that she didn't want to be a veterinarian anymore. She was approached by a teacher, who suggested the idea of becoming a lawyer. She was intrigued by that. " I love to argue," she explained to me, "So I was like why not become a lawyer!" When asked why she is majoring in English when she wants to study law, she explained that one has to have a bachelor's degree first, then after that, they can go to law school. «c \Tir>V»rvlo nidipH in a• orner. Nichole rushed by, apologizing, and explaining how she Was trying to change, but she had gotten locked out of the women's employee bathroom. She suspected the guys who worked there of using it, because it was cleaner. Dressed warmer, and ready to do the interview, she began by telling me about her day. Hollick nti liAr wav in to Kor on her way in t/v her biology class, she looked around for her crush. "I try to sit by the person that I like in Biology, but it never works!" Nichole laughed and said "Sometimes people sit by him, and I'm like don't sit there!" She feels like this class never participates enough, but she likes it because she enjoys group discussions. In the middle of class that day, Nichole began to feel sick. "I have an herbalist that we (her family) go to, and I realized that I hadn't taken my anti-stress pills. I had to leave and go home and take the pills." When asked why she takes herbal stress pills, she told me that the stress could sometimes be too much. "Sometimes I just want to be a fly on the wall," she explained. Nichole's Love Life: Nichole told me that she had read the articles in The Pride about speed dating, and people's f rustrations with the dating scene at CSUSM, and agreed. "People are either married, or I can't talk to them because this school's not social, but then again, I haven't been going to most events. It would be great to meet someone at school, but my main concern Nichole went home, tried going is getting good grades. I was online to check her credit card reading the articles, and was like statement again, but still couldn't god yes! I want there to be more get the information. She took events like that".

It's true, innocent car buyers often don't know where to start when buying a new car and are consequently talked into buying a car that doesn't satisfy them. An informed customer knows what he/she wants and what to expect when negotiating. ^ Know what you want. Many people buy cars before they have taken the X time to do the research on what type of car is for them. If you plan on getting married and starting a family within the next few years, that new sporty convertible probably isn't the car for you. Likewise, that used V-8 pickup might not be a good choice if your gas consumption is on a limited budget. ^ ^ ^ Know the worth of your W old car. To estimate the / value of your vehicle, J m ^ look up prices on websites such as KellyBlueBook.com or the classifieds in the local newspaper. Remember that one of the biggest profits for car dealers is their used car lot. Although it may take longer, selling your car directly makes you more money than trading it in. ^^ I Know whether new or used works best for you. Santiago Sierra, a salesperson for Hoehn Audi said, "Are you willing to take a risk buying a used car from a private individual or play it safer by buying from a dealer or do ^ younot want to have any trouble whatsoever and buy a new car?" Althougfe\used cars are more affordable, oftentimes the condition of the vehicle is unknown and the car is\ no longer under warranty. With cars that have a high retail value, it may even be cheaper to buy a/iiew car. A Know whether leasing or / I buying is best for you. ^ X i If you plan on turning in l y o u r car in 2 or 3 years, leasing would definitely be more practical than buying a car. However, commuters find the mileage limitations a burden and people who enjoy adding modifications to their car are either penalized or unable to receive extra monetary value when they return the car. M ^ Know what you want to ^ ^ ^ pay for the car. Negotiat| ing is the most important part of buying or leasing a car. Be assertive and realistic in the price you want to pay. Get bids from several different dealers, including internet sales sites such as CarsDirect.com. Hussain Mahrous, President of the San Diego chapter of Wild Horses Mustang Club said, "Pick a car that you want that's within your price range and don't let dealers push you around. Set a goal on how much you're willing to pay and don't let a dealer screw you over." to know your credit so you have an idea when the dealer discuses APR rates and the down payment of the fairness of the rates you're offered."

Also, look into the performance and safety and rate it in terms of what's important to you." According to Talebi, it is essential that consumers understand what qualities are valuable to them. The New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) rates cars in terms of safety while magazines such as Car and Driver contain numerous articles on performance. Know the best time to buy f a car. Clark Overstreet, a / car salesmen veteran of / 15 years, said, "One of the best times to buy a car is the end of the year because generally that's the time dealers are getting rid of cars and offering discounts."

Dealers typically make money in three ways: from the trade in, the new car, and the after-market sales such as extended warranties and body kits. Car dealerships receive rank and rewards based on volume and annual increase in sales; they want to sell their cars. By researching the type of car and deciding on how much to pay for it, you should be prepared to stand your ground and haggle with the best of them. Knowledge of the car and of what you want is the key to being a satisfied consumer. �S ports Editorial: David Bofiton Ombudsman's Notes By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman There is quite a bit of news happening right now in California from the recall of Governor Davis and the election of Arnold Schwarzenegger t o- the labor dispute between the United Food Commercial Workers and their management at local grocery stores. These are hot topics that which people have strong opinions particularly because they are politically and ideologically charged. With that being said, The Pride is resolved to provide a balance on these and other important issues. These are issues that should encourage, if not demand, reader feedback. In doing some research into other ombudsman columns in major papers, it is obvious that it is quite difficult to keep everyone content with coverage that is provided. This is an unfortunate consequence of news reporting on issues that are divisive. Some readers go as far as to dig out an undertone in articles which they believe proves a bias favoring one side or the other. I have not received any complaints accusing The Pride of political alliances or choos- By TIM JOHNSON Pride StaffWriter ing favorites, but it is possible. We, of course, do not have the reader base of a major city newspaper. Therefore, the number of responses I receive is limited, but all the while crucial since The Pride is here to provide information to the readers. Since there are many issues that affect us all if for no other reason than geographic proximity, I want to know your thoughts on them and your comments on our coverage. The email, as always, is dolan005@csusm.edu. San Diego Chargers wide receiver David Boston made an impressive showing on Sunday's 21-27 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with 181 receiving yards, 12 catches and two touchdowns. He also apologized to the team, coaches, fans, and franchise about his behavior since he signed with The Chargers on a -seven year contract. This does not mean that Boston won't strike at the bolts again. He has already been suspended for simply not showing respect or dedication to the team. He missed important team meetings that players were required to attend. He lost his temper and yelled at members of Corrections forVol. XI No. 5 In the article "Adventure Center has f un . ..

He did not learn from his first experience and got a second, meaning he may get more D.U.I.'s in the future. The Chargers will not let that slide and take disciplinary action. This may take him out of more games, practices and helping the bolts get into the winners bracket. Boston has plenty of talent and muscles to be a great football player, however, has an attitude and hard head to be another Ryan Leaf. Let's hope that Boston is not compared to the unsatisfying quarterback when all is said and done and just helps the Chargers get a few wins this season.

I am in upper division classes and it seems that almost every other woman is married. Then the ones that don't have a ring on, you have no idea whether or not they have a boyfriend. For a lot of guys they don't want to be disrespectful and just start hitting on a girl without knowing if she has a boyfriend or not. Then I have heard a lot of women say that all they want is a nice guy, but usually it is not the nice guy that is going to walk up and hit on you. He is going to be the BfcPN u e t y DID m d w r r LAimp SAX Editor one that sits in class and just talks to you and asks you how your weekend was. What guys are looking for varies between guys but most guys are not looking for a supermodel. They might be nice to look at but men do want someone who is an equal and just someone they can have f un with. I am a 22 year old single male on campus and I am not looking for the superficial girl. I am looking for someone to go out dancing with or watch a movie with or just go out to dinner and talk. I think women expect too much out of the men on campus and if they are frustrated about not meeting good guys the> should start approaching men Most of the men I have talked think it is much easier when woman approaches them. So if you ladies are really looking foi someone, start going up to the guys and talk to them. You jusl might be surprised.

G houls & s keletons r eady to s care all w ho are brave e nough to v enture d owntown By SHARON BAYRON Pride StaffWriter Those looking for a truly thrilling evening need look no further than Frightmare on Market Street in downtown San Diego. Located in the heart of the Gas Lamp District, Frightmare on Market Street is as chilling as its name implies. People of all ages are lining up, anxiously awaiting to be scared, and indeed, Frightmare delivers. A ghostly, emaciated gatekeeper wishes its participants "good luck" as they descend into a dungeon like hole. The screams of the brave group already navigating the maze can be heard at the entrance, adding to the suspense in the air. A mixture of dim lighting, bloody figures, and denSe fog all feed the apprehension of the unsuspecting crowds. Around each corner lies a frightening surprise, and each step leads into a different horrific scene. The groups of people that enter this haunted labyrinth may enter individually. Most groups exit the maze intertwined and linked at the arms, gripping their unknown neighbor with a panicked clutch. As the maze progresses, the scenes become increasingly intense, and by the time the maze ends, thrill seekers are literally running up the exit stairs and into the safety of the well lit street above. Frightmare on Market Street will run for the remainder of October until November 1. Tickets for the haunted maze are $12.99 and may be purchased directly at the box office on Market Street, or online at www .frightmareonmarketstreet.com, and group rates are available at the online site. Frightmare runs Friday and Saturday, from 6:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. and Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. During the weekends, this attraction becomes fairly crowded, so those planning to buy tickets at the box office should plan to get there early. If the line to get in looks discouraging, don't worry. Music is provided by local radio stations outside while you wait. Also beware of the occasional bloody ghoul who has been known to come up from "underground" to startle unsuspicious guests.

The dance troop combines dance, music, and storytelling with the sacred traditions, cultural heritage, and immense history of African Americans, and African people worldwide. Choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, founded Urban Bush Women in 1980. Since then, she has created almost 40 dances, including her choreography for Urban bush Women, and her creation of HairStories. According to the Urban Bush Women website, HairStories is a production which.. "explores the concept of nappy hair and itsr relationship to images of beauty, social position, heritage and self-esteem." The production also focuses on the intense debate in the African American community about the politics of hair. HairStories was inspired by moments in the choreographer's own life, as she herself battled with these very same issues.

ByJOHNSCRIPPS Pride StaffWriter Educated Bean, the coffee kiosk in Founder's Plaza, has been forced to stop selling espresso because Starbucks is coming to the new library. Starbucks, the international coffee chain, has negotiated a contract with CSUSM to setup in the ground floor of the new Kellogg Library, due to open next semester, to sell espresso exclusively. It was also agreed that Starbucks would have the espresso market to itself. "I was a little apprehensive to continue selling espresso," said Steve Mcintosh, the primary owner of the Educated Bean. Ever since the Starbucks opened up in the shopping center across the way, he had noticed a significant drop in espresso sales at his own booth. Because Starbucks will be moving on campus, Mcintosh is happy to let the espresso line go, as the profit level from those sales was becoming smaller and smaller. There are other benefits too, like reduced labor costs, since there had to be a minimum of two people in the booth when they were selling espresso in the past. According to Mcintosh, while the Educated Bean will no longer be selling espresso, it has been allowed to expand its line of wares. It will be selling a number of things that Starbucks will not be selling, such as an expanding line of cookies, chips, and a variety of fruit smoothies. They will continue to sell fair trade coffees, along with their chi latte's and chocolate drinks. With this vastly extended line of products comes a new multi-year contract and rates that have actually been lowered. Starbucks PR executive Nick Davis said, "Starbucks builds alliances with companies and organizations, such as California State University, San Marcos, that understand the value of Starbucks and are able to successfully deliver-the Starbucks experience to our customers. Starbucks does not provide information on the terms of its agreements, but we are very excited to be working with CSUSM to bring Starbucks store to the campus community." Biochemistry junior, Evan Delatorre said, "Starbucks will cost more. Students don't have that much money." Literature and. Writing professor Dr. Susan Fellows said, "I think they should be able to sell espresso. I find it absurd that there are not enough students to buy espresso from both places." Mcintosh also wanted to express his gratitude to the Foundation for their generosity. "I want people to know this was a good thing," Mcintosh said. "I think this is going to be a win-win situation. We've greatly appreciated the support we've received (from students and faculty) and hope it continues after Starbucks opens."

Poullard added, "It is probable that this location may need to change in the future if the area interferes with the normal conducting of university business." Greg Lukianoff of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) said, "Free speech zones should be the rule, not the exception. The university should have the courage to treat the entire campus as a free speech zone, not just a particular area." Lukianoff explained that the legal rationale behind the policy of the university is that they are able to authorize freedom of assembly in regard to time, place and manner, however, that it is morally wrong not to foster free speech on campus, especially in terms of a peaceful demonstration. "A lot of this is determined in collaboration with risk management and university police personnel," said Poullard.

"Moore offers a different perspective that is not offered in the mainstream media," Roper said. Moore's latest book that came out earlier this month titled, "Dude, Where's My Country?" already has a record breaking amount of orders nationwide, and within its first printing are one million copies. The book was written not only to reveal the truths about the Bush administration, but to also unseat President Bush, or "George of Arabia" according to Moore's book, indefinitely. In the book Moore speaks out against the war on Iraq, how Bush got elected, and his administration's policy in general. According to Roper, "He is leading by e xample...

Growth expectations for enrollment "Over the next 20 years our enrollment is expected to grow to be about 20,000." By T M JOHNSON Pride StafFWriter Over the past few years CSUSM has experienced an exuberant amount of growth. A growing campus means more applicants hoping to be accepted for f uture semesters. Classrooms will inevitably increase in size and registering will require a fight. Fortunately, this increase will not take place for a while. "Next year there will be no growth. During the y ^, ? 7; : , : * r month of November the Chancellors office will be revising growth expectations of all campuses for future years," said Richard Riehl, assistant vice president of Enrollment Services.

So what does Halloween mean to us, and how do we celebrate it? The word Halloween has its origin in the Catholic Church. It originated from "All Hollows Day" (or "All Saints Day") November 1, which is a Catholic day of observance to honor the saints. During the fifth century in Celtic Ireland, Oct. 31 was the offi cial day that summer ended. This holiday was known as Sam Hain (sow-en) -— the Celtic new year. On this day the spirits of all those who had died throughout the year come back in search of living bodies to possess for the next year. The Celtics believed that during this time, the laws of space an time were suspended allowing the spirit world to intermingle with the living. The living didn't want to be possessed therefore they extinguished the fires in their homes on the night of Oct. 31, making their home undesirable. They then dressed up in all sorts of ghoulish costumes parading around their neighborhood making noise and being as destructive as possible, attempting to frighten away spirits. Irish immigrants fleeing the Irish potato famine brought the Halloween custom to America around 1840.

Here are some words of wisdom from CSU San Marcos University Police Department for you and your children to have a safe Halloween. Please use common sense. To help you we have some safety tips. Costume Safety: • Use make-up or face paint instead of masks. If masks are used, make sure that they fit properly and have holes large enough for mouth and eyes. • Choose costumes that are marked flame retardant. • Wear light-colored clothing at night. Add reflective tape or reflectors to dark colored costumes. • Make props such as magic wands and swords out of cardboard, rather than metal or wood. • Be sure your costume is not too long to avoid tripping over it. • Carry a Flash Light. Before Trick-or-Treating: • Obtain flashlights with fresh batteries for all children and their escorts. • Plan to use only battery powered lanterns or chemical light-sticks in place of candles in decorations and costumes. • Review with your children the principle of "Stop-Drop-Roll", should their clothes catch on fire. • Openly discuss appropriate and inappropriate behavior at Halloween time. • Do not permit children to bicycle, roller-blade or skateboard. • Agree on a specific time when revelers must return home. • Take extra effort to eliminate tripping hazards on your porch and walkway. Check around your property for hazards to young children rushing from house to house. • Consider the safety of household pets during an evening of frightful sights and sounds. • Remind all household drivers to remain cautious and drive slowly throughout the community. While Trick-or-Treating: Never trick-or-treat alone. Older children should go in groups. Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult. Stay within the neighborhood and visit homes you know. Visit only houses where the lights are on. Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go into the house. Only accept wrapped or packaged candy. Be sure and say thank you for your treats. Never eat unwrapped candy, opened candy, fruit, or open beverages that are offered. Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it. Use sidewalks and do not run. Be very cautious of strangers. Never enter a stranger's home or car for a treat. After Trick-or-Treating: Wait until children are home to sort and check treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should closely examine all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped, or suspicious items. • No treats are to be eaten until they are thoroughly checked by an adult at home. All of the members of the University Police Department and The Pride wish you a Safe and Happy Halloween. FREE CHECKING Tell your bank the Jig is up.

I want to hear deep, soulful, victorious breaths," said Christina Allen as she coached the breathing techniques to a group of young women during an Ashtanga yoga class at the Clarke Field House. The group dwindled to a lean 15 students from the original 42 who began the free ASI Leisure/ Group Fitness class Sept. 29 for the fall semester. The remaining students, showing their resolve, have improved dramatically from the awkward giggly bunch they once were. Poses that previously seemed nearly impossible are now performed with ease and transitions that were absolutely impossible are now being attempted and sometimes actually achieved by the students. "I think (the class) is really progressing; everyone is really there and really present," Allen said. She has her own studio in San Marcos called Ashtanga Yoga East. Ashtanga yoga is one of the most active and physically Ashtanga students stretch their muscles while their instructor, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, watches. demanding forms of yoga. The aim of this practice is to generate heat in the body for the purpose of burning toxins, burning calories and becoming stronger and moreflexible.This is achieved by transitioning quickly from pose to pose in fluid motions. Practitioners also learn how to channel their energy and lower their stress levels by quieting their minds, breathing deeply and looking inward. "I think (yoga) is very relaxing and it helps to get circulation to all those areas we ignore. It is a total time-out," said Michelle Jules, a third year communications major. "It helps me stretch out and it is very relaxing," said junior HuangMei Chiang. One of the obstacles the students have faced is letting go of image concerns and allowing themselves to really immerse in the practice without worrying about what others may think. Poses can be tricky and often embarrassing and egos can stand in the way of progress. "Your ego exists to ensure that you protect yourself and it is important, but it is only a small part of who you are. You shouldn't tell yourself you can't do something without trying it first. Do what you can and next time it will be easier," says Allen. * Allen's advice seems to be working. There were only a few quiet chuckles before everyone tried a new pose they were asked to perform called the "Lion's Roar." In this pose, while down on all fours facing each other, students stuck out their tongues like Maori warriors and let out their breath in the form of a quiet roar. It may seem a little silly, but the students were willing to try the pose and not let it be an embarrassment. This Ashtanga yoga class provides students a time to get in shape while at the same time they can let go of the stresses in their lives. It is a positive experience for both the students and their instructor. Allen is enjoying teaching the class. She said, "I like it, its fun, its turning people on to something that maybe they have never tried before, it's like planting seeds." �ByMOIAELDOLAN Pride Ombudsman This week I have received some very good feedback from readers who voice legitimate concerns about "The Pride." The crux of these concerns is based on a problem that I have noticed as well when reading through "The Pride" which is, namely, typos. The general perception that I get from the readers' complaints is that these errors tend t > < disinterest the reader. I agree with that reasoning. I recall reading "The Pride" before I was writing for it and having that same sense of disinterest because of simple spelling errors or incorrect attributions. Now, I come from a perspective to where I am more disappointed when these errors occur and focused onfindinga resolution to reduce the amount of errors that get into thefinalprint, hi particular, I received one email that really echoed the frustration that some readers have towards these mistakes. CSUSM student, Ryan Beraal, emailed me about a correction for Vol. XI No. 5. It was in the article "Tips for those living single: Student Survey" where Ryan found an error regarding the reference to David Beckham. Our writer referenced Beckham as "David Beckingham:" an error that should have never made it to the press. Ryan suggested and asked me if I agreed that when one of our writers reference "one of the most hailed football players.. .they should at least get the spelling of the name right" I would have to say I agree with Ryan on this one. Beckham is a popular football player and known by football fans all over the world. In addition, Beckham is referenced in the recent movie, "Bend it Like Beckham/' Couple these reasons with the fact that this misspelling was overlooked in editing and I can understand the frustration that was shared with me this week. This type of sloppiness could discourage readersfromreading "The Pride" who then could dissuadefriendsfromreading "The Pride" and suddenly, "The Pride" has lost its credibility. From this, I will include this correction at the end of this column. Moreover, I appreciate the critical feedback this week from all who emailed me. And once again, my email address is dolan005@csusm.edu. Please keep theflowsof criticisms coming. Correctioiis Vol. XI No. 5 In the article "Tips for living single: Student Survey," David Beckham's name is misspelled David Beckingham. The Pride apologizes for this misspelling and any inconvenience that it might have caused. Vol. XI No. 6 In the article "Urban Bush Woman: Hair Stories to be Performed at CSUSM," the title should have read Women, not Woman. Also, in this article, Women should have been capitalized in thefirstsentence of the article. And finally, Michelle Wills who wrote this article wanted to thank Kristine Diekman and Karen Schaffinan for their help. Karen Schaffinan is also the contact for those who want to attend this event. Her email address is karenschaff man@csusm.edu. HALLOWEEN CONSUMER By MICHAEL DOLAN Pr^StaffWriter I was walking up the steps*roNfStorenamed* Bate's Bros. Nut Farm when the comment came bellowing from behind me. "This is a perfect place for a picture." It echoed through my mind as I turned to see an oveijoyed mother dragging her reluctant son to a corner in front of the store arranged with pumpkins and bales of hay to represent a perfect manifestation of a Hallmark Halloween. This was supposed to be the yearly outing to Bate's Nut Farm to collect traditional autumn ornamentation: and take in the crisp andfreshValley Center air, but this year was something askew. Yes, this year the rising trend of residential and commercial development has caught up with the simple quest of pumpkin hunting and turned what for the past 25 years had been something enjoyable into a miserable melodrama. This is the new reality of a North County Halloween. I should have known there ^ would be trouble on this trip beginning with the car ride up the gradefromEscondido. East Valley Parkway was consumed with chaos with traffic backed up in both directions up to Lake Wohlford Road. Similarly, the west bound lanes of Valley Center Road, the grade that leads into the hills, were backed up for over half the distance of the grade. The right turn on to Woods Valley Road provided no relief to those who were on their way away from the Farm with a back up of over two miles, a substantial distance on two lane country black top. Approaching the Farm, I was confronted with what at first appeared to be the makings of a carnival. There were incomprehensible amounts of people wandering through fields stacked with recently imported pumpkins just steps away from tents of vendors and a simulated mountain for the purpose of practicing mountain climbing, should that need ever occur. In the parking lot* a field with delineations haphazardly made with bales of hay and orange cones, there were advertisements for the "Smoke Out" tour coming to town soon. My sense of nostalgia was rapidly diminishing as I walked out of the parking lot and into the pumpkinfields.There was trouble in trying to locate a wheelbarrow to carry the pumpkins. At $3.50 a piece, the motivation to walk around with pumpkins in your arms quickly evaporates. This scene was getting uglier and uglier as men and boys stalked the checkout area waiting for a wheelbarrow to be returned. When there was á wheelbarrow returned, the collected predators sprinted with furious determination to claim their prey, leaving one man excited and many a boy and man bitter and crying. The pumpkins themselves were nothing to be thrilled about. A few years back, Bate's stopped growing their own pumpkins and began importing them from Mexico. This act could be considered thefirstflood of water that began the erosion of the Bate's mystique. Instead of going out to afieldand cutting your pumpkin right from a vine and quickly paying without much trouble, one is now left to select theirjpumpkin from a several piles of pumpkins dumped in field with a hundred other people scrounging for the elusive perfect pumpkin. In addition, after the hunt, I found myself passing through a chaotic tent to pay for my selections only to be harassed on the other side by high school student employees with questions as to whether or not I have paid for my pumpkins. All these events lead back up to the front door at the store. After buying a $1 can of soda and a $2 ice cream cone from conveniently placed vendors, I stood dazed staring at the circus I had just experienced. It has never been like this here at Bate's. One employee I asked about the madness said that this bedlam was relatively calmer than the previous weekend when the crafts fair was going on. In the long run, Valley Center is changing with an increase in residential development despite the best efforts of the long time residents. For that matter, all of San Diego County is booming significantly and apparently all these newcomers want a taste of a country fall at Bate's Nut Farm. The unfortunate consequence is the roadways are not suited for the increase in traffic volume in this general area making this trek frustrating at best. Furthermore, the once reserved tradition for local residents to escape to Bate's once or twice a year is forever gone clouded in the chaos of what has now become a stressed filled novelty rather than a chance to envision nostalgia.

Director Olivier Assayas' stunningly done "Demonlover" can be grouped into the category "high tech thriller." I thought that with Halloween approaching this film would have been some gory horror flick, but what I found Connie Neilson stands before a flame in the provocative Palm Pictures thriller. was a sadistic, ugly, fast paced, insane yet amazing piece of filmmaking. Demonlover will leave a funny taste in your mouth and I bet you will like it. The only problem with this film is that it may be hard to follow if you are not somewhat Internet or technology savvy. The storyline basically follows a corporate executive who discovers an interactive torture Internet site called "The Hellfire Club." Slowly the film uncovers more horrors about the modern movie life than any of us have ever wanted to know. With its almost uncomfortable use of sex and fantasy in some very common states of affairs, "Demonlover" reminds me of a lengthy music video. It depicts the corrupt side of an industry that is often assumed to be glamorous. If you're a film buff at all, this film is definitely for you. It is breathtakingly shot and that is reason alone to see it — definitely worth the seven dollars. Elevated : more than just a band By DIANAK. CABUTO Pride StaffWriter Semi-acoustic sounds, incorporated hip-hop, rap, spoken word, and rock vocals accompanied by live guitars and other assorted percussion instruments come together in fusion to form the unique and all CSUSM students band of Elevated. If you have be ve heard this band play their unique sound. The sound that calls for a new genre of music that anyone can en to the Fyre Zone Cyber Cafe on San Marcos Boulevard, Bubble Tea or Panorama Center, maybe you ha enjoy regardless of his or her own personal style. Elevated originates from the idea of poetry and music coming together for a different way of expression and fusion between spoken word, hip-hop and rock. Elevated offers its listeners an interesting and original blend of musical genres. Elevated is becoming an essential part of almost any event at CSUSM and some of the local places in San Marcos. Elevated is a group of enthusiastic and hard working musicians. "Our big goals are to sell our own CD's, stickers, T-shirts, and to have more people come to our shows and express their talents with us as well," said percussionist and performer Nimitz Bagtas. The band is finishing its first demo — the first step for the band's dream. "Big plans are to finish our demo so we can give it to clubs and places for more gigs, play bigger shows and open up for other groups," Nimitz said. The band consists of seven core members: Lyricist Phillip Jerge; poet Anthony Blacksher; percussionist and poet Richard Hunt; poet Lameeka Ingrham; guitarists Ian Skolnik and Robert Smith; and percussionist Nimitz Bagtas. The band began as a duo with Jerge and Balcksher, but other members joined to form the new heterogeneous band they named Elevated. Some of the band's original works include various poetry: "Elevated,*" "Be here Now" and "Life Alone." A current CSUSM student, Nadia Lopez, said, "Elevated is a new concept in music and poetry. I like it a lot and I think it will grow- and leave an impor- Anthony B lacksher w oos the crowd with v ocals a t the Fyre Z one tant mark for this school where it originated, and we should be proud of it." The band played for the first time in the campus dorms Thursday, Oct. 2, were CSUSM students like Lopez enjoyed listening. For those who missed the event, the band will be playing on campus again Friday Nov. 7.

University Village students dinedly affected by widfires Massive Campus Clean Up By ADRIAN OJNDIFF Pride StaflfWriter Fires devastate San Diego County sending a snowstorm of ashes and smoke into the air that consumed everything. The fires directly or indirectly affected all students living on campus. Many students who live on campus complained about problems relating to breathing due to the large cloud of smoke that hovered over the campus all week. Others got sick and complained about havingflu-likesymptoms. Not only was the campus closed for students who live off campus but also for students who live on campus as well. Students who live on campus were not able to use the computer lab, study or do research in the library, or workout in the gym for one week. The air quality around campus caused one student to have an asthma attack that sent her to the emergency room last Monday. Olivia Roldan, Liberal Studies major, said that her limbs got numb and as she waited in the emergency room her hand got paralyzed as she checked in. Roldan lives on campus and according to her the smoke was unbearable. The smoke around campus caused her asthma to act up even though her seasonal See STUDENTS, page 2 By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Editor in Chief Last week the San Diego County wildfires engulfed Cal State San Marcos with unhealthy air and spread soot and ash all over the campus. Although President McTarnaghan closed the campus to students, faculty and administrators, Facility Services were on hand cleaning up the campus and replacing air filters in all the buildings to ensure the campus would be safe for classes to resume on Nov. 3. In response to the hazardous atmosphere surrounding the campus, Facility Services spent Friday changing all the airfiltersin each building. "We're taking preventative measures by changing all the airfiltersin the buildings," said Chuck Walden, Director of Facility Services. Although there was no testing done inside each building to determine how much unhealthy pollution there was, new filters were ordered and replaced as preventative maintenance. Steve Holbrook of Facility Services said, "We're staying ahead of the game before people become affected." The buildings on campus each have an air-handling room where outside air is sucked in and distributed through the air conditioning system. Filters are used on the outside See CLEAN UP, page 2 V OL.XI N O. 8 Photo By Adrian Cundiff/The Pride McTarnaghan closes CSUSM for a week By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaflfWriter Students and faculty at CSUSM spent time away from school last week after Interim President Roy McTarnaghan cancelled classes due to thefiresraging through San Diego County. McTarnaghan closed the campus last week after emergency services requested roads be kept clear and because of poor air quality at CSUSM. As a result of the polluted air, more time was needed to replace airfiltersfor air conditioning systems. The call to close the campus came after Chancellor Charles Reed of the California . State University (CSU) system advised McTarnaghan last week. Faculty and staff are determining the effects of the closure and how to fix any problems. Except for essential personnel such as police and facilities crew, the closure barred students and stafffromentering the campus. "The major effect is how we will make up a week—that is the big question," said Rick Moore, CSUSM director of communications. On Sunday night McTarnaghan decided to close the campus and planned Monday to assess reopening the See CLOSURE, page 2 �Editorial S taff \ S taff W riters Bditor-inHChksf K Alex Rosalino Chad Spinks Danielle Boldt Elizabeth Baldwin Co-Editor Jonathan Rodley Design Be Photo Editor PIDi Pf- iapr l l y p - x; l*unû F Scripps Doug ILasater Kristin Rees Assistant Design Mark Ferrera Editor Roberto Fella >: RMelissa ; odriguez News Editor Michael Dolan Sarah Carlia ; Features Editor Michelle Wills Lisa Qeorgife Nicole Sullivan A&E Editor Katie Sammons j R ^an l^fecifc g!

We never expected what was to come of the day. My parents and I woke up early to wrap gifts, decorate and set up the tables in the back yard for the lunch mom was preparing for our guests. It was a hot day, outside the air smelled of smoke, and ashes were falling on our tables like snow. Every television channel was broadcasting the destruction wildfires were causing all over San Diego County. Guests would be arriving from all over Southern California and we worried that we had invited them to Hell. Hopefully no one would put themselves in danger to come to our house. Hopefully everyone we knew would be safe. Hopefully this was all a bad dream. Hopefully it would all be over soon. Everyone we were expecting showed up. I turned off the TV and for the next few hours focused on family and friends and the celebration for my yet unborn niece. At lunch we joked that the ash falling into our sodas was good for us. Doesn't carbon absorb toxins in the body? Once most of the guests were gone I went upstairs to my room and looked out the window. It was dark and I could clearly seeflamesburning over the second hillside to our east. I learned later this was the Valley Center fire which was less than th m eight miles away from us. "Papi, ven aca," I called my dad upstairs, but my anxious voice alerted my mom that she should come too. The fires we had spent all day ignoring were now very real. Quickly we decided it was time to get packing. Important papers, pictures, heirlooms, treasured gifts, clothes, essential toiletries, my dog's food and leash, the computer tower, anything we could think of that we considered irreplaceable or essential was thrown in laundry baskets and suitcases and piled in the living room. Finally, exhausted and mesmerized by the news reports, we went to sleep, thinking we would need all the rest we could get in case we had to evacuate at some time during the night. I woke up often to look out the window, but theflamesnever came closer No fireman ever came to knock on our door. No evacuation notice was announced for our street. We were safe. We were lucky, during the night the winds shifted to the east and away from us. Some of our things still sit on the living room floor as we are a little afraid to put them away. However, these things no longer seem as important as they did that night. They are just things. It is the people who are suffering from great losses that are in my heart now. They are important, essential and irreplaceable unlike the things on the living room floor. You and me and everyone we know, everyone that lives here in San Diego, everyone that lives in our world. They are what really matters. G EICO is seeking a new generation of top management professionals to maintain our c ompany's f orward m omentum.

M l « TteUrnv^^ — i Support available for students By LISA GEORGE Pride Features Editor The aftermath of an unexpected tragedy brings many needs and concerns. In the midst of the chaos it is important to discuss personal reactions, strengthen friendships we have and reach out to those in need. One psychological side effect of tragedies is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. PTSD is a psychological disorder affecting those who have experienced or witnessed a major trauma. The symptoms of PTSD include nightmares, irritability, anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, and social withdrawal. If you experience feelings of anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal CAPS is here to help. CAPS is the Counseling and Psychological Services at Cal State San Marcos. They are a group of professionals and pre-doctoral students from Alliant University majoring in clinical psychology. CAPS is located at Suite 102 in the San Marcos Ambulatory Care Center, they are open Monday through Friday, 8-5 pm, and can be reached at (760) 750-4910 According to Dr. Kreisler, the full time psychiatrist with CAPS, the most important service they offer is one-on-one counseling. Dr. Kreisler suggests that victims of the fire confide in a close friend or a clergy member. Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard, has also responded to the needs of CSUSM students by opening his door to those who want to discuss concerns about the devastating effects of the San Diego County Fires. Poullard's office is located in Craven Hall 4935. It is recommended to call first and make an appointment, (760) 750-4056 Air quality is also a health concern. The American Lung Association recommends southern California residents to monitor breathing and exposure to airborne contaminants. The Air Pollution Control District of San Diego reported that the air quality is good, with the exception of the areas that are still burning or downwind of fires. To maintain good health, drink plenty of liquids that will aid in flushing the air particles out of the body and avoid hard labor as much as possible. Children should be monitored more closely due to their developing respiratory systems that take in more air than adults do, which means more air pollution. Dr. Nicholson from Student Health Services warned that air borne particles will continue to affect air quality for the next one to two weeks. She advised students to minimize time spent outside and to breathe through the nose.

Due to the North County fires, the structured activities for Equity Week were postponed. A campus lunch rally is scheduled Wednesday, Nov. 12 from 11: 30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Equity Week is an international movement led by The Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor (COCAL), California, a multicampus coalition of California State University lecturers, faculty, and community. From rallies to regional hearings, equity film festivals and public testimonies, more than 400 schools speak out across the United States, Canada and Mexico, including 23 CSU schools. In support of "equity for contingent faculty" Elizabeth Hoffman, the California Faculty Associa- President of the University of HoustonVictoria (UHV) Karen Haynes, who once managed an institute for national planning in Cairo, broke the ice with CSUSM students and faculty last Wednesday.

"Actually, almost everyone I know calls me Cali." At 6'4" he towers above nearly everyone who walks by, but his hazel eyes are inviting, his tone is friendly. It becomes hard to imagine this person in the midst of the recent war. Louis Caliendo, a third semester business major, transferred from Palomar Community College to CSUSM in the spring semester of2002. More recently however, he's just transferred back to the United States after spending six months serving as Sergeant Caliendo in the dusty deserts of northern and southern Iraq. A Brooklyn native, Cali moved to California when he joined the Marines in 1993. "I like it here. It's something new," he says. After spending four years on active duty in the Marines, Cali decided to serve part time in the reserves in order to attend college and pursue a career in business. As a reserve Marine, Louis' chances of serving in a war seemed slim. That was until Sat.

I felt so behind when I got back," he says. Fortunately Cali made it home in one piece. However, he returned on September 13, 2003, just after this fall semester had begun. Unable to start the semester so late, Cali was forced to postpone his schooling until the Spring "I knew war was inevitable, and I of 2004.

Many students breathe with a sigh of relief, but are shocked at the degrading value given to their work. Unfortunately, even for students with a genuine argument for receiving an unfair grade, the grade appeal procedure seems to be a lengthy, tedious, and frightening path, an avenue in which few venture down. Students at Cal State San Marcos hold the right to file an appeal for their grade. Confidential hearings take place in front of a small board within the Academic Senate named the Student Grade Appeals Committee. "The committee is a right (for) students to have recourse when they feel they've been wronged," said Iain Gould, a graduate student serving on this board. As currently written, the grade appeal process begins with a student seeking to resolve the issue informally, through discussion between the professor and the student. If no agreement is reached, the student consults various administrative officials from the department and eventually the dean or another director. If the student cannot resolve the conflict, he or she mustfilea formal appeal. This process begins March 15 for courses from the previous fall or Oct. 15 for summer of spring courses. Last year, the Student Grade Appeals Committee received 10 appeals. All were rejected. According to the annual report, three cases were discarded on technical grounds, the committee did not find the evidence to be adequate enough for a grade change with the other seven cases. In past years, the success rate for grade appeals has rarely been over 25 percent. Various difficulties cause the low success rate. The Student Grade Appeal Procedures states that "the burden of proof is on the student." "A difficult task," said Richard Karas, Chair of the Grade Appeals Committee. Another obstacle students face is that they often do not understand the policy and their appeals are rejected because they do not effectively argue and document their claims. "Traditionally students that have a strong case have not had their appeal granted because of procedural flaws on their part," Gould argued. According to Gould, students have been unable to change their grades because of their lack of knowledge of the specific steps needed to take for the grade appeal. Students overlook two essential components: for what reason an appeal can be granted and the deadline in which to file. Students are often skeptical of Administration committees due to the lack of student voice in those groups. For the Grade Appeals Committee, it is not a question of fairness because three students and four faculty members serve on the committee, an almost balanced ratio. Associated Students, Inc. Executive Vice President John Gehris, who is in charge of finding students to work on committees, recalled that having the student influence and vote is essential, especially for grade appeals. "The student voice and concerns are heard because students sit on the committee," Gehris said. "Students who want to change their grade feel much more comfortable appealing in front of a committee that has student members." Another obstacle with the process is the policy language is vague creating difficulties for students. "Certain language in the procedures can be written so as to be clearer and more compelling.. .the forms used to appeal a grade can be amended so that they guide students through the process of writing an effective appeal," Karas said. With the burden of the proof lying on the student and ambiguous language discouraging efforts^ students find it difficult to appeal a grade. A proposal is currently being submitted to the Academic Senate to review the language of the documents. The committee is continuing its efforts to improve the effectiveness of the policy. 83% U J /U EGG DONORS NEEDED Age 19 - 29 Excellent Compensation Call Melissa @ Building Families (800)790-7633 eggdonation@bldgfams.com ^ MfANTEDiS || $1Ö|00-$16.00 per hour call ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W I M / * o f C al S t a t e S an M arcos S tudents D O N OT b elieve t h a t d rinking a lcohol w ill m ake w omen s exier. > § r%m 89% U Zt /U o f C al S t a t e S an M arcos S tudents D O N OT b elieve t h a t d rinking a lcohol w ill m ake m en s exier.

Administration's excuse for this unforgivable disregard to free speech is that they want the campus to continue looking clean and tidy. The infamous Posting Informational Material Policy "provides an avenue... (in which students can) publicize events, activities, and services while retaining an environment of order and cleanliness on the campus." This necessity for cleanliness includes restrictions on everything from the leafleting of cars to the material of banners. This anal policy goes so far as to dictate what type of tape to use when posting - masking tape only, of course. Basically if an innocent student wishes to post wisdom from a fortune cookie without approving the fortune with administration, he or she has some bad luck coming. The student risks having the posting removed, a fine imposed, posting privileges denied (whatever those are), and disciplinary action initiated - all this just for trying tô improve the karma on campus. The Pride exists as the only medium in which students may exercise their First Amendment rights without penalty or censorship by the administration. Even in this setting, student editors reserve the right to place or not to place letters in the opinion section. With administration censoring flyers posted on campus and the lack of free speech areas, students are unable to truly immerse themselves in the exchange of ideas that defines a university.

O mbudsman's N otes By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StaffWriter This week, we try to return to normalcy on campus. After a disaster closely intertwined with our community and our campus, is it possible to return to a normal school life at this point in the semester? As I walked around campus over the past week, there was a prevalent feeling of exhaustion. Although a feeling of exhaustion is common at week 11, it seemed that perhaps this feeling was more than usual mental fatigue. After all, in the relative scheme of things at this particular time, it is hard to focus on education when there is still so much activity on the periphery. Last week's edition of The Pride focused on the fires and their effect on Cal State San Marcos. I have received positive feedback on the coverage provided in that special edition. However, I would have liked to receive much more. In addition, I would like to know your thoughts on trying to get back into semester for the remaining few weeks. Please e-mail me with any lingering thoughts that you might have on that special edition as well as thoughts on the current edition. My e-mail is dolan005@csusm.edu.

N « Ö �Never give up cross-country By TIM JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Cross-country is a sport with athletes who never give up, no matter what the circumstances are. Cara Rumble is one of those cross-country athletes who did not give up on the sport. Rumble is a senior at Cal State San Marcos and an All-American cross-country runner. She was forced to take a year off from cross-country to have a baby. Rumble did not give up; she returned and is now a possible national titlist, placing second in the Vanguard Invitational with a time of 18:26 for the 5-k event. "I had to get back into shape, I was in pretty bad shape, but the coach did not make me try out again," Rumble said. She got right back to where she let off. "I feel about the same, but you could always get stronger," she said. Steve Scott, head coach of the cross-country team, said that Cara is stronger. "Cara improved dramatically," Scott said. "She ran an 18:26, a lifetime best in the last crosscountry race. She came back stronger physically and mentally because she used to have a distraction with boys, and now she is totally focused on school and running." Rumble said, "I had one season that I red-shirted the first year and trained, and did not train during the second year while I was pregnant." Scott said: "She was running with us last year and during the season I was telling her she was doing great. She ran o.k. times and I said 'Cara, you're doing fine."' With the hard work Rumble has put into cross-country runner makes and the encouragement from her coach, she has succeeded in running and met the high expectations from her coach. "The future is for Cara to win the individual title," Scptt said. "There are four girls that have a good opportunity to win the individual title. Women are second in the (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes) NAIA and Cara will really help her team." The NAIA Regional was held on Saturday in Fresno, and the NAIA Nationals will be Nov. 22 at Tom Sawyer Park in Louisville, Kentucky. With these meets, Rumble's hard work to get back into shape will hopefully pay off. "I wanted to do it again because I missed it and it felt like it was something I needed to do," Rumble said.

CSUSM Surf team crashes down on the competition ByALEXROSALINO Pride StaffWriter As the waves crashed on the beach Saturday, Oct. 4, 16 students would realize they made the Associated Students, Inc. surf team while the other 14 would go home in hopes of competing next year. The ASI CSUSM surf team has grown in its third season from nine to 18 students. The team consists of ten shortboard men, two shortboard women, two longboarders and two bodyboarders. Spots were reserved for the Team Captain, Thomas Gorman and Player Representative Martin Muench. This year, Hansen's Boardroom, Etnies shoes, Da Kine surf and snowboard accessories and Transworld Surf magazine gave out freebies to the contestants. Jeremy Cannon and Conrad Scouton were the highlights in the men's shortboard competition. Each won all three of their heats credibly to take a seat on the team. Alex Freitas, Lucas Dalager and Sean Hastings were viewed favorably all day long because they pulled such high marks in their heats. Trailing them but making the team were: Brent Varga, Chris Parrinelo, Bob Hoste, Alex Burst, and Jon Graves. Jamie Tomei and Analia Carlsson maintained the women's shortboard competition. When it came to the longboards, runner up State Champion Dustin Franks won hands down. Ryan James and Michael Connolly had to battle it out for second place. In the end, James pulled through as the most favored. Eric Warner made the A-team in the bodyboard rounds, while Don Nguyen and Jeff Koval went head to head for the second placement. Because of its popularity, unyielding competitive results and maintained participation, Gorman was able to persuade ASI into doubling the size of the team this year despite the cost of try outs. ASI CSUSM Dream Team surfers, Martin Muench and Jon Graves blazed through the competition of schools including CSULB, USD, UCSD, and UCSB who were among the 22 teams competing this past Sunday, Oct. 25 in Ventura. Although they did ifot have a strong backing from their team members, their final score was 10th place with 61 points. Faculty Advisor Puha said: "The ASI CSUSM Surf Team has the talent to be competitive, but suffered from first event jitters and off season injuries. The team must take the positives from performances of Muench and Graves and start preparing for the next event." CSUSM students can watch the surf team Saturday, Nov. 22 when they compete at Black's Beach in San Diego. Jamie Tomei drops in with speed and style to secure a place on the ASI surf team Oct. 4. Tomei is one of two women shortboarders on the team.

M m Photo Courtesy of Landmark Pictures By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaflfWriter Tibet is a wondrous place; so inspiring is its beauty that it has been called the "altar of the world." Tibet's remote location, mysterious and colorful culture, and its people's search for enlightenment through the Buddhist religion all combine to give it a magical unearthly quality. Tom Peosay's moving documentary film, "Tibet: Cry of the Snow Lion," brings Tibet out from behind the mystique and teaches the reality of the political and religious oppression the Tibetan people endured due to the Chinese occupation of their land. Beautifully captured images include a full spectrum of the Tibetan experience. Images span from jubilant festival celebrations and reverent religious rituals to the horrific destruction of Tibet's holiest places and violence against the Tibetan people. This sad story is told by the people who know it best. His- torians, professors, politicians, ambassadors, resistance leaders, monks, and nuns were interviewed for this film. The most shocking accounts are those of torture experienced by former prisoners of the Chinese. The historical details of Tibet's hardships would be unbearable if it wasn't for the inspiration the exiled religious leader, the Dalai Lama, brings to the table. His belief in non-violence and forgiveness averts anger and cynicism and brings hope to his people that someday they will be free. Students interested in becoming more aware of what is happening in the world can take the time to see this film. Films like this one can open sheltered American eyes to the big picture. It can bring some insight into the experience of people who live in occupied lands which has relevance far beyond the situation in Tibet.

New buildings added to the campus like the Clarke Field House/University Student Union, the University Village apartments and the Kellogg Library, changed the landscape and have expanded campus life. The plan for "The Center for Children and Families" will be compiled before the end of the semester so that it will be available to the new president when he or she takes office. The ELC is currently located offcampus at 233 S. Twin Oaks Valley Road, in abuilding leased from the city of San Marcos. "Our lease is up July 31,2004 and so we have been having discussions with the university about finding a place on campus. We recently have been told that there will be space (available) here on campus," said Lura Poggi, executive director of the ASI. According to Russell Decker, executive dean of planning design and construction, two possible locations are under consideration. The first consideration is near the University Services building where the University Police are located, and the second consideration is behind the Science I building. Plans for the new facility include longer business hours, to better accommodate student schedules, and an expansion of services, to include children in infancy to after school programs for older children. At present the ELC is licensed for only 48 children and provides Spring schedules only offered online ByMKEDOLAN Pride Ombudsman The Spring 2004 Class Schedule is available, but is now only accessible online.

Campus Equity week raises educational awareness By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StafFWriter In the spirit of Campus Equity Week, Wednesday, Nov. 12, faculty, staff and students came together to voice their concerns at a campus rally. In effort to raise awareness about higher education, Coalition of Contingent Academic Labor and the California Faculty Association (CFA) organized a petition-signing to "Save classes/Save our teachers." The aftermath of 2003-04 legislative reductions to the California State University (CSU) system has negatively impacted higher education. The CSU administration has failed to meet the guidelines of the Supplemental Report Language (SRL), that the CSU will "ensure the quality and availability of CSU class offerings, student services, and libraries," (as outlined in Education Code Section 66010.4). Because the integrity of education has been threatened, particularly harming non-contingent faculty and students, the Cal State See CFA, page 2 "The decision not to print the schedule was not ours," said University Bookstore manager, Melinda Martens. Students who come to the bookstore in hopes of purchasing a class schedule will be told of the change. Students are told to direct any comments on the new accepted format for the class schedules to the Office ofAcademic Programs in Craven Hall 5201. Although there is no printed schedule available for purchase for the spring semester, there is a Registration Guide and Catalog Addendum available at the bookstore. The addendum only includes new classes and their description, not their scheduled times or days.

The hope is that Gov. Schwarzenegger will endorse the petition, with the need to "Save our classes/save our teachers." "We are here, on behalf of the students," said Tasha Iglesias, education major and CFA intern for fall 2003. Iglesias has helped lead the student voice concerning the petition. Iglesias shared her concern that many students are ignorant to what they are signing. With music and free food available (at the rally), most students are willing to sign anything. At the same time, it came "as a comfort that "some students were skeptical, and asked lots of questions about the petition." The petition expresses the concern over the manner in which CSU administration has implemented budget cuts. By laying-off hundreds of contingent faculty (statewide), and in turn, directly affecting the students' education, the outcome has not gone unnoticed. From crowded and unavailable classes to the limited office hours of faculty, students are faced with limitations, making it more difficult to graduate on time. "This pin says it clearly, 'Teachers working conditions are student learning conditions,'" said Elizabeth Hoffman, English lecturer and CFA representative for Cal State Long Beach. It is the hope that a week of campus equity will reap enough signatures and support from the CSU community to send the petition to legislature. Iglesias said that over the past several weeks the CFA, student organizations such as Lobby Corps, ASI, PAN, Mecha, and WSSN (Women's Studies) have worked to achieve their goal. Iglesias said, "We have sent out bundles of invitations, crashed classes, and handed out information regarding campus equity week and the petition signing." "That's why we are here," Hoffman said, "a profound change is needed (at the University). The faculty needs to nourish students, and in turn, the university needs to support the faculty."

The new facility could allow potentially hundreds of children to register. ASI has been working in conjunction with the College of Education to plan the programs to be implemented in the new facility. The intention of both groups is to provide not only childcare for students, but also a learning laboratory where future teachers could attain in class experience right here on campus. "We are thinking holistically about student needs," said Dr. Peggy Kelly, Interim Associate Dean in the College of Education. "I believe that providing affordable childcare to students gives students access to education and that is the primary mission of CSU," said ASI President, Honey Folk. In the university's mission statement the promise to meet the needs of its students is explicit, "CSUSM provides a range of services that responds to the needs of a student body with diverse backgrounds expanding student access to an excellent and affordable education." In this time of financial crisis the issue of funding is looming. "ASI and CSU cannot afford the debt. The key for us is that it all has to be externally funded," said Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. Dr. Martinez provided a rough timeline outlining projections for each step; Fall 2003, complete fundraising plan; fall 2004, secure funding and complete an architectural plan; fall 2006, building complete. This timeline allows one year in raising the millions of dollars it will take to build the proposed facility; however, Qr. Kelly added, "There is a high level of enthusiasm and interest from donors." Barsky refers to the addendum as a valuable tool with useful information, "It is all the information that was in the schedule without the actual class listings." "We hope that students will see their advisers to answer questions on classes," said Barsky. After students become comfortable with using the schedule online, Barsky hopes that it will increase communication on campus. An increase in student-adviser communication will decrease a lot of the uncertainty in degree requirements and reaffirm that the students are on the right course for graduation.

The good-bye offered a special panel discussion with faculty, staff, and students discussing topics including: what motivated the students in deciding to study overseas, what they learned while overseas, and cultural differences they had to adapt. Yoko Suzuki, a junior and Japanese native is majoring in sociology. She spoke of her positive experiences with the educational system. "It's the best system compared to the rest of the world. America is the only place where no matter what your age group you can still go to school and get a degree. In other parts of the world, this is not possible." When - Suzki was in Japan she took her traditions for granted. Now in the United States, she is more aware of her customs, which allows her to feel more independent and selfconfident as she must make decisions without close guidance from her family. She loves the support her family gives her as well as her fellow classmates and professors. Samson Manickarej, from India, agreed with Suzuki about the high quality of United States education system. Manickarej, a computer science major is very in tune with his culture and smiles when he discusses how his stay in America enabled him to see his homeland differently. He compared America to a melting pot or "internationalmarket where everyone is welcomed." His classmates, loved ones, arid professors support him. His one wish is that more students travel abroad to experience a world different from their own and get a perspective of what it is like to be in a foreign country. Kim Quinney is a history professor and of ItalianAmerican ancestry. Her passion for world travel is to research her family roots. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science visibly enjoyed his discussion about his time spent in Jordan studying Arabic. Terry Allison discussed his experience while in France. He said the younger generation loves everything about the western culture from its fashion to hip-hop. The older generation does not approve of this trend and find that the youth are displacing their rich heritage. Students and professors alike had a wealth of information to share with faculty, staff, and students. The quality of the United States education system continued to resurface. Having the opportunity to study abroad changed their lives from an educational standpoint and touched and changed their personal lives.

The Upper Chisolm, Lower Chisolm, and Cruiser contain up to 12" of snow with some obstacles on the way down. The runs are equipped with fun boxes and rails for snowboarders and skiers to challenge on their way down the slope. The snow is thin, but it's only November. There is plenty of winter for snow to build up on the ground. Mountain High is open from 8:30am to 4:00pm on weekdays, 8: 00-4:00pm on weekends, and night riding everyday from 5:00-10:00pm. Big Bear, now two resorts with Bear and Snow Summit merging, has also begun the winter season. Big Bear has between 6"-18" of snow on the mountain. The park known as "Claim Jumper," has 6 jumps and 19 jibs for riders to hit during their day on the mountain. Bear has also opened Big Bear Express for the snowboarder or skier seeking to test their carving or cutting abilities on the snow. The season should bring more snow to the mountain to help keep your board or ski's free from dings and scratches. Bear is open Monday through Friday from 8: 30am-4:00pm and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00-4:00pm. If you are planning to spend less time on the slopes, Bear also has half-day sessions from 12:30-4:00pm. If you are willing to take a longer drive, Mammoth is also open. Mammoth, the largest resort in Southern California, is a thrill seeker's backyard. Mammoth has 2-3 feet of snow and expecting a whole lot more to fall. They have 5 lifts open and the Gondola has opened as of Friday, November 14. Mammoth has the "Unbound" Terrain Park featuring multiple 60'-80' jumps and jibs that will put your stomach in your throat. The park is also equipped with the super-duper pipe that is not opened yet, but will open soon to give the greatest riding experience. For the new snowboarder or skier that does not understand the above language, it's time to learn. Check out one of the local resorts: Mt. High or Bear and learn the extreme before advancing on to Mammoth. Both resorts offer lessons seven days a week and private lessons. They also have complete ski and snowboard rentals so you can try it before you buy it. WANTED E GG D ONORS N EEDED SWIM I N^TRUGTOBSy!

CFALecturerRepresentative �THE PRIDE Kaleidoscope of Sound By LISA GEORGE Pride StafifWriter Passion. Climactic energy and dissipating strains of melody. The power and driving force behind 80 trained musicians directed by a seasoned and energetic conductor is what makes a symphony a memorable experience. The South Coast Symphony directed by seasoned virtuoso Barry Silverman pushes the expectations of what is expected from a symphony. Proclaimed "the unstuffy symphony for Orange County," this finely tuned group of musical magicians compliment a variety of composers. Their powerful renditions of "Apollo 13" selections, "Mission: Impossible," and "A Night on Bald Mountain," a brief sampling of the works presented at the Coast Hills Church in Aliso Viejo Friday, Nov. 14. The resonant minor chords were backed by thunderous timpani and other percussive instruments, supported by the reverberating brass section. The musical battles and celebrations throughout the night seemed to burst through the four walls and into the surrounding city. The setting at the Coast Hills church provided two big screens through which a camera man was projecting up close views of the musicians and conductor throughout the concert. This particular visual style allowed for a big and little picture of the energy evoked by the musicians through their finely honed skills of musical creation. Caught in the frenzy of "Night on Bald Mountain," the cellos played pizzicato, while a mallet beat a unique cylindrical steel instrument producing a blended, yet pronounced sound that added to the full resonance created by the horns and violin sections. The selection of this night's performance A&E Tuesday, November 18, 2003 7 Listen spread throughout three centuries and dipped into cinematic highlights including "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter Chamber of Secrets."

Whether you want to take your mind off of midterms and tests, take your little sister to a movie for some bonding or have an evening out with your VERY mature boyfriend ( note sarcasm) " Elf' really can satisfy. The PG rating makes it family oriented. The jokes are still amusing to adults. Will Ferrell stars as Buddy the elf and his appearance alone can generate laughter. He is a gifted comic and he definitely "makes" the movie. Ferrell seems to take the character Buddy so seriously, and then wham, he'll hit you with another hilarity filled Elf-esque outburst. The story follows Buddy who's been raised at the North Pole. He believes he's Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema an elf even though he is very different from Buddy travels to New York in search of his father. the other elves. Buddy is then sent to New What exactly made me see Jon Favreau's newfilm"Elf?" My little brother did. "Elf' is the type of movie that appears extremely cheesy in the trailer and_ gets very little recognition until audiences discover that " Elf' is actually watch-able. It is an entertaining, holiday-themed choice that facilitates getting in the spirit of the Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema York to find out who or what he really is and get in touch with his alienated father. Ferrell's humor comes in often as Buddy makes his way through the city spreading holiday cheer. It's corny, predictable and sappy, just how feel good Christmas movies should be. Ferrell keeps the movie afloat with his pokerfaced delivery of jokes and overall nutty demeanor. The only thing that I really didn't like about " Elf' was the fact that the movie wasn't balanced. Most of the movie isfilledwith jokes and is enjoyably funny until the second half approaches, and at that point, it seems like a hurried Favreau was just trying to get the project finished. The latter half of the film quickly pours on the feel-good holiday vibe that is so cliché in films like this. That is the only place that " Elf' really went wrong. The movie was cast well. It was slapstick style funny and other than the seemingly hurried second half of the film, Favreau should be thrilled that he took such a kooky storyline and turned it into a future family favorite. I give "Elf" a rating of B -. T h e V e r d i c t i s t it— Runaway Jury ^ = The suspenseful psychological thriller, based on courtroom novelist John Grisham's narrative, contains an A-list cast and an explosive plot with enough doublecrossing and secret motives to make this one of the best films of the year. This box-office success begins with a bang — literally. Gun-toting killers shoot up an office building, creating a massacre, which leaves 11 dead. The widowed wife of a businessman brings a major civil suit against the gun manufacturer she feels is responsible for her husband's death. With the increasingly hostile public opinion on guns, the powerful firearm conglomerate worries this multimillion dollar case may cripple the industry. Wendall Rohr, Dustin Hoffman, a chivalrous lawyer who fuels the case with his honest passion, represents the widow. His opponent speaks for the arrogant gun corporation, behind which stands a brilliant veteran jury consultant, Rankin Fitch, Gene Hackman, who will stop at nothing to ensure a verdict favoring the firm. Fitch stations his surveillance team at a high tech center disguised as a warehouse where they inspect potential jurors in order to strategically control the selection of the jury. However, the moralizing plaintiff attorney and the ruthless Fitch soon realize more is at stake when one juror, Nick Easter, John Cusack, and his accomplice Marlee, Rachel Weisz, inform both attorneys that the jury's for sale- for $10 million. A dangerous game of cat and mouse set in the French Quarter of New Orleans proceeds. Making up for the implausible story is the extraordinary cast, which works together in creating a heated courtroom melodrama beneath a background of controversial issues. The film is the first coupling of screen legends Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, who form a climax for the movie when the two veterans battle it out in a tense scene. The movie struggles to overcome major changes from the novel all the while keeping the character development and plot twists distinctive of Grisham. The film needlessly replaces the original scenario targeting the tobacco industry with a political debate on gun manufacturers. Although the characters' motives are more transparent in the film, it maintains the high level ofsuspense from the tense courtroom novel. Viewers unfamiliar with the book will not predict director Gary Fleder's ("Kiss the Girls" and "Don't Say a Word") perfectly timed plot twists. Fleder produces a tightly wound thriller with his natural ability to know exactly what audiences will expect from the film, the cast's impressive performance, and the unique camera-like cinematographic techniques. The confrontation scenes and equally heated political outcome are enough to keep any moviegoer on the edge of their seat. m oto Courtesy of The 20th Century Fox Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and John Cusak face-off in "Runaway Jury."

Born in Vietnam, Quynh moved to San Francisco and worked as a waitress where she met her future husband, native San Diegan John Pack. The couple married and moved to a small cabin off Wildcat Canyon Road. Chau had been" a full time senior finishing her degree at Cal State San Quynh Yen Chau Marcos and was interested in continuing her education in a graduate program. "Quynh was very friendly, very cheerful... she was always focused on her work, a conscientious student," said family member Henry Duong. "Each year the family has big Thanksgiving dinner [where she would] always talk about school; she was a very determined student." Chau's family in Vietnam own and operate a plastics company. Chau was interested in working with them to expand their business. Her older brother, Sinh Chau had discussed overseas business ventures, and Quynh had wanted to help him bring their business to the U.S. On the day of thefire,a neighbor awoke Quynh and her husband around 1 am to warn them to evacuate. Quynh started the car while John rescued their two large dogs. They managed to drive away but were somehow stopped on the dirt road, perhaps due to engine failure or lack of visibility. Fire officials found the couple inside their car, their arms wrapped around the bodies of their beloved dogs. Quynh Pack's ashes were returned to Vietnam by her older brother, Sinh Chau. She is survived by her four brothers and sisters and her mother, To Ha, all currently reside in Vietnam. — * 7 i i ' f t / I1 Ill" I ! Did Emma make it in this issue? Find out... Foom PAGE ?

Haynes' days have been since she started her campaign f or the CSUSM presidency. From Texas to San Diego to Long Beach, back to San Diego, then to Texas again. "I haven't had much time to think of all the next steps," Haynes said. She's been writing to-do lists for the sev- eral past weeks, but said she hasn't started anything yet. Making the transition from Houston to San Marcos, finding a place to live, will she buy a house or just rent? She said those are the things on her mind lately. Having to move is nothing new for her. Some History In her early twenties Karen lived in Kuala See PRESIDENT, page 2 By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffV^iter President Karen S. Haynes CSU focuses on alcohol safety ByCHADSPINKS Pride StaffWriter As part of an ongoing effort by administration and the CSU system to promote alcohol awareness, the Clarke Field House will be conducting a Responsible Host training seminar Dec. 5 at noon, focusing on alcohol safety: an issue of concern with the first year of on campus housing. A fter the drinking related death of Cal State Chico student, Adrian Heideman, in Oct. 2000, the CSU system sought revisions in the alcohol policy of all campuses. Shortly after, the Substance Abuse Advisory Council was formed at CSUSM. Susan Mitchell, who was a member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council when it formed, said that the CSU board of trustees disseminated information t hat r ecommended w hat World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to increasing awareness of HIV and AIDS, was commemorated yesterday. "Live and let live" was the slogan for the 2003 campaign that focused on eliminating the HlV-related stigma and discrimination which have been identified as the major contributors to the expansion of this epidemic.

(ASI) sent their Lobby Corps to Fullerton earlier this month where students from almost all 23 campuses in the California State University (CSU) system gathered to discuss issues like raising tuition fees and shared governance in the CSU. "It's a lot of hard work—it's not a vacation," said Erik Roper, vice president of external affairs for ASI. Roper and three other members of ASI traveled to Cal State Fullerton to represent the 414,000 students in the CSU system. With student fees raising over 30 percent this semester, the Lobby Corps promised to fight for lowering student fees. The Lobby Corps must "articulate compelling reasons for not raising fees," Roper said. He said that the CSU broke their promise to not raise fees over 10 percent in a year. Now the CSSA must work with other groups like the University of California (UC) system. He said the California constitution must be changed to protect students from excessive fee increases. Gov. Schwarzenegger will fund the school systems Janu- ary 2004 so the race is on for the Lobby Corps. The Lobby Corps promotes student welfare by influencing law making in California, and working with the CSU Board of Trustees. The 25 members of the Board of Trustees manage the CSU system. The Lobby Corps works to hammer out kinks in the CSU system. The students find what's wrong with the system, discuss it at California State Student Association (CSSA) conferences, and then lobby at state legislative meetings Photo courtesy of Erik Roper/457 ASI President Honey Folk (left) and VP of External Affairs Erik Roper (right) discuss matters at the C SSA See LOBBY CORPS, page 3 convention in Fullerton, Nov. 15.

Lumpur, Malaysia, a place with fast city streets and tropical botanical parks. "I was just following my former husband and learning the culture," she said. Canada was her permanent home during this time; it's where she continued her education. "Having done a masters degree in Canada, you begin to get an exposure to other cultures and get an outsider view of the U.S.," Haynes said. This view grew even more when she moved to Cairo, Egypt in the seventies. After teaching in Texas for five years, Haynes wrote her dissertation in Cairo in 76\ "It was a very progressive time in Egypt," she said. The scorched land of oases and temples was building alliances with neighboring countries, and women's issues were gaining importance. Haynes worked part time with Egyptian universities by defining academic programs in social work. She also worked with the U.S. Aide Office in analyzing Egyptian public policy.

The university Provost, Robert Sheath said he has two main expectations for the president. One is that she needs to lead the campus forward as a well functioning collégial team. Second, he expects her to continually improve the schools standing in the community and improve community relationships. "Based on her experience at University of Houston — Victoria, she is well positioned to do both of these," Sheath said. "She showed all the attributes that we would want in a president " Sheath said he likes her philosophy to seek to understand and then be understood. "I hope all sectors of the campus can get behind her and support her and move us forward," Sheath added. CFA President for CSUSM George Diehr said he hopes Haynes will work with faculty in a "cooperative and collégial fashion." Diehr said he doesn't want her to have any preconceived notions about faculty workloads at CSUSM. "I hope she takes a hard look at the objective data that shows faculty at San Marcos have a heavier student load than faculty at most of our sister campuses," he said. "She should also appreciate that we spend about $7 million less on our faculty salaries and benefits than other CSU campuses of our size." Diehr said he wants to establish regular meetings with her and is concerned about her adherence to the Budget Supplemental Report Language. "Let's just see what happens," he said. Honey Folk, ASI president, said the environment at CSUSM is directly related to the president. She said the president should be open, honest and willing and provide access to education. "It's time to bring about the reality of the mission of the CSU," Folk said. Folk explained that CSUSM has a campus culture that values shared governance. "We demand to be included into the decision making process," she said. "I am very, very excited about having the opportunity during my term as president to participate in the selection of the university president, and to have influence which sets the tone for her future interaction with all students." �A LCOHOL from page 1 Assessing perception of alcohol and drug usage at CSUSM Assessing the extent of the problem on campus was one recommendation. The council administered the Core survey in the spring of 2002 to 3000 students, of which 585 responded. "The results show that Cal State San Marcos is below the national average for alcohol use," said Mitchell. # The four page survey; developed by the Core institute if Illinois, covers a wide range of issues regarding alcohol and substance abuse. Questions were asked concerning how students perceive drug and alcohol use among peers, and how students have been affected by their own usage.

CmMimtat, �Student government, their role at CSUSM care, and many of the student and staff jobs and activities on campus. Every semester, students pay an ASI Fee which was $50 this semester. That money is used for student related activities, free concerts, food, childcare benefits, workshops, and other governmental recreational activities on campus. ASI provides students with interesting seminars as seen with alcohol awareness week, workshops such as car maintenance, speakers' series, and many other programs and services. ASI also provides movie tickets, NCTD bus passes 5-cent copies, stamps, and other services. At the beginning of the semester, ASI gave away parking vouchers. When questioned about the programs and services the ASI offers, ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative Didi Lund said, "Programming and services we provide include everything from Leisure Courses to Intramural Sports, the student lounge to forums in which "ASI will continue to provide these Photo courtesy of www.csusm.edu/asi A rare moment away from their d esks A SI m embers left-right: Undergrad services as long as Rep Roy Lee, College of Business Admin Rep Nicole Rawski, VP of Com- we believe there munication Erin Dalman, VP of External Affairs Erik Roper, VP of Finance is student need for Crystal Folk, Executive VP John Gehris, College of Arts and S ciences Rep Alice Lynn, President Honey Folk, College of Arts and S ciences Rep Didi them." -Didi Lund, ASI Rep Lund, College of Education Rep Erick Gordon, College of Arts and S ciences Rep Mbarak Monololo, Childcare Rep Sylvester Brown, College of Business Admin Rep Adam Taylor, Post Bac.

From the College Republicans to Sigma Alpha Epsilon, club members have an outstanding network system that provides for various forms of assistance and support. Students not affiliated with any clubs or organizations also have a wealth of resources around campus. Doctor Robin Keehn is the head of the "Writing Center" located in CRA 3106-1 in the library courtyard. The writing lab provides services to approximately 200 students weekly. This is a facility for everyone. Students of all stages of writing from brainstorming to thesis constructing and outlining argumentative paper are welcome at the Writing Center. The tutors are all trained and must take and successfully pass (LTWR 525) before they can work at the center. This ensures quality service to the students. There is approximately 36 personnel on staff. Although walk-ins are welcome, staff members suggest making an appointment. Their hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 8:30am- 6:00 pm. Friday 8:30am-3:00pm. For additional information call, 760-750-4168 or visit is www.csus.edu/writing-center. The Math Center is located in the same building as the writing center. Maureen DuPont is the coordinator. 16 tutors service approximately 3,000 students per semester. The Math Center provides academic support, tutoring, and assistance to undergraduate students.

Music at CSUSM uniting art and technology ByALEXROSAIJNO Pride StaffWriter "This is the technology centerpiece of our music discipline" said Professor Bill Bradbury about the electronic music lab, which is also a state of the art recording studio. The Visual and Performing Arts department has fun and upto-date disciplines that are unfortunately sometimes overlooked by students at Cal State San Marcos. The VPA building is located between the Science 2 and the University Hall buildings. Even though this is a relatively new school the facilities and equipment are up to speed. Something students may not know is that there are practice rooms where any student may play the piano, for free. If students want to learn how to play the piano, classes are available. The VPA department offers courses in just about any art subject you can think of. The disciplines are broken down into the following: arts and technology track, music track, visual arts track, theatre track and arts and education track. Within these tracks, they are able to integrate cultural arts and styles from around the world. The program is very hands on and theoretical, according to the VPA website. There is a Javanese Gamelan Ensemble, which teaches students in an organized manner, how to play the different instruments of Indonesia. This class mentions when music is played and for what reasons, such as dances and drama. This class may be repeated four times. Within the classroom there are mallets and a gong that are reminiscent of the Led Zepplin gong.

These were the exact words I uttered in frustration after getting off the phone with my insurance company. On Saturday I walked out to my car to find a huge dent in my front fender and no note. Supposedly, there weren't any witnesses. So, no one heard grinding metal? Or saw pieces of metal and plastic on the ground? Or someone fleeing the scene? I guess not because there was no note. It's called morals, a conscience, even a heart. We are instilled since we are little, if we make a mistake then we have to take the heat. So why is this any different? Statistics show that only 10 percent of people actually leave a note when they hit another car. So this guy or gal who hit my car, says by his actions, "yeah well, sorry for ya," and bails. Is this fair? Is it fair that aomeone should suffer the loss of possessions, property, a family member, on behalf of someone's ignorance? No absolutely not! It is not fair. I have come to a conclusion in all this, adults are just older, bigger kids. We do the very thing we tell kids not to do by not acknowledging our mistakes. Even though I'm venting, I am not worriedyeah I'm forking out 300 bucks now, but all I can say is what comes around goes around. On that same note, another quote comes to mind, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. * I am not saying that this person who hit my car will come out tomorrow tofindtheir car all banged up, no. What I am saying is that in some way or another if we do something that screws another fellow man out of something, than there will be consequences. I am just thankful that my car is driveable, that I wasn't hurt, and that I still have the car in my possession. I hope this article can instill appreciation in all our lives for the things that we do have. As for me, I will pay the $300 deductible and carry on with life. By: - You may not know it, but our lives are being controlled by a box. It is a box that portrays images and pictures of things that consume our minds. This box tells us what to buy, wear, and how to act in certain situations. This box is television — it provides us with entertainment while it warps our brains. I find that when I turn on the television, I spend most of the time flipping through the channels. I rarely find something that I watch from beginning to end. That is because it is hard to find something worth watching. Lstill, however, find myself turning that TV on with the remote in my hand. When I find something that I am interested in watching, it gets interrupted by commercials so I change the channel and continue my surfing. Television, which is a part Of most families' homes, feeds us information that shapes our society. This information includes sex Sex is the biggest seller and television eats it up.

W E N KVB P L E N T Y OF By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman As we reach thefinalstretch for this semester, the pressure begins to build as term papers and final exams loom on the horizon. Now is the time where we try to pull the whole semester together and prove that we have learned from the lectures and studying. After we reach that frenzied peak, after the last paper is written and the last final completed, then we can finally relax and reflect on the O mbudsman's N otes accomplishment of having completed another semester. To those who are graduating at the end of this semester, those last papers and finals represent something sweeter. If there are no plans for furthering their education, fall graduates can look upon these papers and finals as the last vestiges of educational scrutiny for now they have their degree and are can move confi- dently into the world. If they plan to proceed with their education, fall graduates can face the spring semester as the beginning of that journey. With a shorter break between fail and spring, it is an easier jump into the post baccalaureate realm for the fall graduate. Most of all, it is just having the degree that matters to all students and the fall graduate enjoys that honor with a bit of uniqueness. I would like to end this column with some words on feedback. I have received feedback ranging from constructive criticism to juvenile ravings. I truly appreciate both styles, but I have a request. If «The Pride" causes some of you a great deal of pain to read, then please suggest what we can do to alleviate this pain. It is not our intention to instill a malaise upon the campus. Let me know what we can do better. Our goal is to cover stories that relate to our campus and our community. If we have failed in this task or have not exploited all story possibilities, I want to know what we need to do to improve this paper for next semester and into the future.

The purpose of this brief argument is to provide another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect the results of the Core survey. Used readily as both sustenance and in celebration, alcohol came to America with the first settlers in the seventeenth century. Indeed, psychologist Jeffery A. Schaler explains in his book, "Addiction is a Choice," that "Puritan ministers praised alcohol but denounced drunkenness." With that in mind, it is curious to consider the dichotomy that alcohol has become, how it has gone from being "praised" by ministers to the double edged sword of being revered as a social tool and at the same time despised for its destructive effects and its ease of abuse. It is clear that alcohol has an acceptance in our society that far exceeds any other mind-altering substance. Alcohol advertisements pervade the pages of magazines, commercials on television and billboards along the highways. Compared to tobacco, which had similar commercial appeal before its dangers were discovered and exploited, alcohol has emerged as the new champion of recreational intoxicants. However, despite the commercial appeal and the common usage of alcohol, there is a darker element to alcohol. Drunkenness is not a desirable quality to society. But drunkenness is an inevitable consequence of readily accessible alcohol. What constraint does society impose on the individual in order to avoid drunkenness? Society would dictate that ultimately the individual is accountable for his or her actions including the responsibility to avoid consuming alcohol in excess. It is here that alcohol's negativity becomes cloudy because if it is the individual's responsibility to regulate his or her own alcohol consumption, then how is it that there is a societal conception that an alcoholic drinks without self control? Schaler offers this explanation, "Voluntary human action is ultimately under conscious control . .. distinguished from an unconscious reflex or seizure, which is involuntary." Schaler is correct, human's think about their voluntary movements. Therefore, this is only one explanation for a drinkers' behavior -— it is a conscious, voluntary action, which is their responsibility. It is not alcohol that controls humans; rather it is humans' irresponsibly using alcohol that sparks this negativity with results such as the Temperance Movement, Prohibition, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Here is another consideration to the posters and mouse pads on campus that reflect the results of the Core survey. These results are accurate-numerically, but imply a connotation that limited alco- hol use by CSUSM students is favorable. The results are presented in a manner of influence which is similar to peer-pressure in the sense that the majority numbers are designed to instill self-doubt in those who are in the minority. Statistics are good for objective fact, but at an institute of higher learning and in this presentation, these statistics appear simplistic. Alcohol cannot be presented as a substance that somebody uses or does not use. With a substantial influence interwoven into the cultures of the world, alcohol use involves factors both internal and external that cannot be quantified by a simple survey. It is, therefore, naive to assume that the complexities of alcohol or the alcohol consumption by college students can be explained by the Core survey. It would likewise be a stretch to assume that college students would not challenge the results.

We hope to offer a lot of the movies we showcase in the festivals in your video library." Lee Ann Kim said Wednesday night at the reception for the presenters from the Mini Asian Film Festival. Kim, a local San Diego news anchor and the Executive Director for the Sand Diego Asian Film Foundation (SDAFF) beamed with joy and exuberance during the reception following the festival. She said that she is still working with KGTV but, "this is really my passion", working with the passionate group of artists and administrative staff at the SDAFF. It is easy to see why Kim is so passionate about what she does. The films shown at this recent festival: The six-minute "Vision Test", 10-minute "Dragon of Love", and 16 minute 3-D animated film, "Eternal Gaze," had poignant messages, unique artistic angles, and messages that linger in the memory as you walk away from the show. The documentary "Refugee" shown Wednesday, November 19, was 63 minutes long. The director, Spencer Nakasako, is an Emmy award winner. Nakasako has been traveling around the United States to different film festivals sharing this piece. Through this documentary he gives a fly on the wall view to audiences as he films the travel three boys took from their hardhitting home in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, to their parents' homes in Asian Film Festival: The Animated Movie "Eternal Gaze " distraught Cambodia, overflowing with memories of war, torture, and terror.

Not all were serious films. The first two shorts, short independent films, presented were intriguing and somewhat comi- H . cal. Each allowed a look at racial issues through different lenses. The first, "Vision Test", was taken from the results of a phone survey which asked a variety of questions dealing with racial preference including who you would feel more comfortable with as president, for a boss, a wife for your son. "Dragon of Love" was a laugh out loud look at the exoticism of races and the expectations that arise in a biracial relationship. Viewing the 16 minute 3-D animation love child of director San Chen, also the Artistic Programmer for SDAFF, was a flash into another time, another person's mind and love for the art of creation. This film is an example of how "technology is empowering film makers like m yself' Chen said in an interview after the production. Working for three years with a variety of programs for one, two, and three-dimeiisional affects, Chen produced a black and white masterpiece, a dramatic cartoon delievered through artistic poetry in "Eternal Gaze". The films presented by the San Diego Asian Film Foundation are thought provoking, humorous, and challenge the standards set in cinema that consumes cinematic productions around the county. After viewing these three films and documentary I know it will be an adjustment to acclimate to the standards of Hollywood after entertaining the amusing, charming, and provocative methods used by creators and directors featured by the SDAFF. Urban Bush WomenTeaching at CSUSM By M ŒELLE WILLS Prick StaffWriter On Tuesday the 11th, the famous Urban Bush Women, Maria Bauman from Queens New York, Reverend Nia Eubanks from New Orleans, and Nora Chipaumire from Brooklyn New York taught a dance class at CSUSM. The previous day, on November 10th' they had given a performance excerpt from one of their famous works entitled "Hair Stories". Hair Stories is a performance about hair, and how it relates to personal, and social images of the way that we interpret beauty, class, and our own sense of self-worth. After having seen the performance, students seemed excited to be able to learn a dance from the Urban Bush Women themselves, and eagerly moved out onto the dance floor. With energy and style Reverend Eubanks lead the class, while Bauman, and Chipaumire helped to show students how to move. Reverend Eubanks began the class by allowing the students to introduce themselves to each other. She taught students a call and response method from Ghana, Africa. She would call out "Ago", meaning "are you listening?" and the students would respond by shouting back "Ame"', which means, "Yes I am!" While warming up, students were shown how to make a "chalice" of energy over their heads, then were told to release that energy by bringing their hands slowly back down the sides of URBAN BUSH WOMEN: Hair Stories their bodies. Eubanks had them bring their hands up to the front of the room, and say, "I offer peace, I offer love". As the warm-up became more complex, she encouraged students by telling them that they were doing a good job, and reminded them to smile, and have f un. She encouraged them to let go, and move without inhibitions, and at orie point called out See URBAN BUSH, page 12 �••• SELL YOUR BOOKS FOR CASH NOW We have the largest buyback list, Barriett: Sell your books at The University Store Calculus for Business Econ Life $58.00 Myers: Psychology: Myers In Modules $50.50 Bilistein: Problem Solving Approach Math Elem School Teachers $48.25 At our tent at Founders Plaza starting Dushkin: American History Vol. 2 $12.25 HOLIDAY SHOPPING MADE EASY ^s^ Jwfc The University Store has hundreds of gift ideas for family and friends, Get a coupon good toward any t purchase at • The University f Store when you sell your books.* Free shoulder tote bag with any $25 purchase of general book titles for all ages.

The PG rating allows people of all ages to enjoy this semi-humorous and exciting tale of what can Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom happen to a family on the way to vacation. Another Disney inspired movie from its crowd drawing ride, Haunted Mansion offers few comical moments, otherwise, the ride is a much better and more thrilling experience than the movie. Jim Evers (Murphy) is a focused real estate agent whose time is spent more on the job than with his family. Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom Jim Evers (Murphy) brings his family to Gracie Mansion URBAN BUSH from page 1 "now when you all are doing this, get into it!"

While teaching them to shake their bodies, she told them "even if your shimmying His stunning wife, Sara Evers (Thompson), a family focused real estate agent is anxious for the family time that has been lost due to the over exuberant sales minded and money driven husband has left behind. Murphy makes plans for a family weekend that is interrupted by a "20 minute stop" to a prospective client, the mansion known as Gracie Manor. Obsessed with his high quality shoes, Jim leads the Evers family into the ancient looking grounds of the colossal mansion, bringing in an unwanted over emphasized salesman's smile and oversold enthusiasm to the residents, both living and dead. The plot slowly develops, selectively allowing for to details from the ride, Murphy travels down familiar hallways layered in special ghostly effects alluding to the potential fear that could have made is wrong, shake it anyways! Just try". Most of the dance movements were low to the ground, and seemed to be a mixture of African, and Jazz. There were a lot of body rolls, shimmying, and body angles in the movements of the dance. The students seemed to be having a lot of f un. The following Thursday, the class met again, and opened by this movie a blockbuster hit. Receiving guidance from Madame Leota, a greenish foreboding talking head inside of a cheap crystal ball, Murphy tackles the nerve rattling maze of the Haunted Mansion with a residual loss of memory from The Nutty Professor to rescue his wife from a fatal mistake. The children offer most of the entertainment aside from that of the singing busts, the most comical scene from the movie. The sweet sarcasm delivered by new comer Aree Davis, juxtaposed with the innocence and trepidations of Marc John Jefferies added a well needed humorous lift to the otherwise flat movie. The ominous Ramsley (Stamp) deepens the fearfulness of the mansion. The hollowness of his sunken eyes, wild, grey, thinning locks and warning tone strengthen the impact of this supporting character's discussing the "Hair Stories" performance, and the class taught by Reverend Eubanks. I interviewed some of the students, and this is what they had to say about the experience: Teresa Francis, a history major believes that it was "a celebration of womanhood." Ilene Wood, and social sciences major, said, "I was drawn into the Photo Courtesy of Bruce Mc Broom Master Gracey and his butler, Ramsley. role.

The ethnic studies department has even less support; there is no budget staff or clerical support, and it is offered only as a minor. "It's not accidental, it's historical," said Dr. Linda Pershing, associate professor, women's studies. "The student and faculty population based on 2002's enrollment is 63 percent of the students enrolled in classes were women. One-third of those students were from diverse backgrounds." Dr. Pershing was the first full-time staff hired for the women's studies department in 2001. This was one of the first majors offered at CSUSM and was started by Joan Gunderson back in 1983. Dr. Pershing had to step downfromchair of her department. She said it was an overload and that she cannot run the whole thing on her back and put in 80 hours a week.

The can By ALEX ROSALINO Pride StaffWriter S PRINTER set to rail 2 005 possible future alternative to CSUSM parking passes By ADRIAN CUNDIFF Pride StaflfWriler North San Diego County Transit District (NCTD) is working on a $351.5 million plan that may eliminate uncertainties facing many students in regard to whether they will have a parking space at Cal State San Marcos or not. NCTD has been planning to connect Oceanside to Escondido with a light rail line since 1986, but the plan has been brewing in the bureaucratic coffeepot ever since. Only recently did the federal government give NCTD a grant of $152 million to commence the project. Currently, there is no parking structure for students at Cal State San Marcos. Rather than paying $158 for a parking permit, some students have been opting to park off-campus, uncertain if they will be ticketed or towed. This uncertainty may be more cost-effective in the long run, depending only on these students not being ticketed or towed. Students at CSUSM who look around campus may come to the conclusion that most of the buildings they see are named after private donors whofinancedthem. However, it is very unlikely that the parking structure that is beingfinancedby the students will be named after them. The pending project will give future students at CSUSM a choice between financing parking structures and paying for a bus pass. Jamone Moore, senior, psychology, said, "I think it's good J OIN T HE P RIDE STAFF N EXT S EMESTER as long as there's a student discount; parking is ridiculous." Currently, San Diego Mass Transit System charges students that go to SDSU $108 for the semester pass and $65 for UCSD students, both of which are good for unlimited use. According to NCTD spokesman Tom Kelleher, NCTD is trying to create a student discount similar to that in the San Diego transit system. "We are currently doing a fare study and are looking at a semester pass for students," Kelleher said. NCTD formally gave the light rail line the name "Sprinter" last February, for its energetic starts and smooth stops. According to NCTD, the Sprinter will connect the Coaster, Amtrak, NCTD's bus service, the BREEZE, Mira Costa College, Palomar College and Cal State San Marcos at La Moree Road. This has the potential to reduce traffic by putting thousands of people on mass transportation. The Sprinter is expected to carry as many as 12,000 people by the end of thefirstyear. That number is expected to grow, as people become more dependent on mass transportation. NCTD explains that by creating a more efficient means of mass transportation, pollution will in turn subside. No overhead lines are needed for the Sprinter as it is powered by a low emission high-tech diesel engine. The groundbreaking ceremony has been delayed a couple of months, but the actual date of completion has not. According to Kelleher, the rail line is to be completed by the end of 2005.

Her major is human development, though she's thinking of changing her major, because what she is really interested in is counseling. She works parttime at a veterinary hospital, the "Village Vet Hospital" in Escondido. "I really like animals. I grew up on a horse ranch." Audrey lives in Vista with herfianceRick White, and her two cats, Oscar, and Gracie. Wedding Bells Audrey and Rick plan on getting married next year. "We actually just set it (the date) a week ago," June 19, 2004. "It's weird because I've known him for three years, but been engaged for like two," Schenck said. "I've always been the engaged Photo by Nicole Sullivan/77je Pride one, but never the bride." When asked where they met, she laughed and told me that it was a little embarrassing. "We met at The Temecula Stampede." Her friends wanted her to go. "I was dreading going. I didn't know how to country line-dance and I was like 4 how geeky.'" While at the stampede, "he asked me to dance, and was so charming." She laughed and told me, "I fit right in at San Marcos, I'm not single." She's really excited that Christmas is coming up. "This is the first Christmas that we get to spend together. We'll get our first Christmas tree." Audrey's Day It was Monday morning around eleven fifteen. Between classes, Audrey agreed to be interviewed. When asked about her day, she said, "I'm not a morning person. I was tired." After she woke up, she had to hit the snooze button, and then her cat Oscar ran around the apartment. "I hit snooze and yelled at him (Oscar)." He jumps on Audrey every morning. "I was watching a client's cat. It needs medicine two times a day." She was running late. "It takes half an hour (to get ready). I'm usually late. I'll be late to my own funeral! I think I can get dressed and out of there in an hour, but that never happens. Something always happens, like I can't find a shoe or whatever." On her way to school, "I ran into a lot of traffic and parked in the boonies!" Her first class was linguistics, then she gets a one hour break, and takes a class called Human Impact On The Environment. When asked about that class, she told me "It's interesting; I'm kind of a nature girl, so it's great to see how humans have an impact on the environment, and what effects they have." After school, Audrey plans on going home, sitting on the couch, and watching some TV, and maybe doing some reading. A udrey S chenek a nd her fiance hug e ach other.

"Our biggest advantage as a major is that it qualifies students for a broad range of jobs," said Dr. Araceli Soriano, the department's chair. "The students are able to understand human development from the three different standpoints of sociology, biology, and psychology."

"Students can distinguish themselves, depending on their focus," Soriano said. "For example, depending on the emphasis, some career choices may be teaching, counseling, or even juvenile justice. It just depends on the student." The recent establishment of the Human Development Club provides human development majors with a friendly, informative environment for exploring the career opportunities available to them. "The club that the stude'nts started has created a greater interest and awareness about and within the program," Soriano said.

You also learn what types of programs are available for people interested in a master's degree." Human development is one of the fastest growing majors at CSUSM and continues to grow every semester. "The program is attractive for students who aren't sure what they want to do yet because it allows the student more freedom to branch off into many different areas," Soriano said.

Program options for students seeking abachelor's degree include accounting, financing, global business management, high technology management, service sector management, or a minor in business administration. A final option for senior students is the "Senior Experience." The "Senior Experience" is a two semester, academic endeavor that gives students the opportunity to work in groups with local business organizations on real-world projects to gain experience as they leap from students to nine-to-fivers. The college of business masters program (MBA) at CSUSM is more generalized into management and leadership in either the public or private sector. Like all colleges at Cal fWefre using our resources the best w a y 5 a n d a re c a r e f u l i n w h a t w e o ffer..." -Regina Eisenbach State San Marcos, the college of business is feeling the slow, grinding vice of California state budget cuts. Regina Eisenbach, associate dean of business, said, "We're using our resources the best way, and are careful in what we offer, making sure students can finish the curriculum before graduation." A great tool and asset of students undertaking the challenges of the business college curriculum are their Associated Students, Inc. representatives, Nicole Rawski and Adam Taylor. Elected by the students, these public officials are the middlemen of the business student body and the faculty and administration. College of Business Representative Adam Taylor said, "Our job is to keep students informed and aware of the availability of resources, basically, giving students in the business of college a voice." On budget cuts to the department Taylor said, "Business professors cost more, so we're taking bigger cuts, and really feeling the full force of CSUSM's cutbacks." On a lighter note, Taylor informed that the groundbreaking for a brand new business building will be commencing this academic year. Additional mediums for CSUSM business students include the valuable networking of the extensive Alumni Association and other business oriented organizations available on campus. M aintaining b alance i n a ll a reas ByMARKPERRERA Pride StaffWriter It is 4:00 a.m. and already in homes across America you can hear the pitter patter of tiny feet. These are familiar sounds of children going back and forth, as their parents are getting them ready for routine trips to day care or the baby sitter. This is the grim reality of working families trying their utmost best to balance work, school, and family responsibilities. Melanie Irvine, a graduate student at CSUSM, is fortunate to have not only the support of her husband - her job is also supporting her. She is a third grade teacher at Pacific Rim Elementary School in Carlsbad. It is a blessing to have both husband and work force supportive in the achievement of Irvine's goals. Irvine advised those who would like to take up this challenge to be "prepared to be committed andflexible."She is focused on getting her masters in Literacy education. Roleen Strathmeyer is an undergraduate student majoring in Liberal Studies. She used to work full time until her job restricted her from taking necessary classes due to mandated overtime. The long and tedious hours she was forced to work overextended the time necessary to complete eight units; it took her one whole year. Strathmeyer realized this drawn out marriage of work and school was keeping i .A her from what she desired scholastically. ^Making the decision and following the financially frustrating path, she left her job and attended school full time. This has renewed her commitment to school. Her husband Jeff is a graduate student at UCSD and supports Strathmeyer, yet the maintenance of a good marriage can be found in the long weekends at the UCSD library. Strathmeyer smiles, "at least we're in the same vicinity together." My wife Charlotte is a tremendous help and asset to me. Our kids are still young and stay in daycare because we both work. Pursuing a degree in communication, my time away from home extends beyond my job. We both share the responsibilities of taking care of the kids and having someone available in case of emergencies.

El invierno esta aquí y la palabra "Navidad" se escucha por todos lados. En el mundo latino no existe tradición más universal que la celebración de las festividades del mes de Diciembre. Su sola mención trae emociones, excitación y alegría en niños, días de diversión y fiesta en jóvenes y esperanza de reencuentro y reunión con familias y amigos para todos. Para los latinos, el mes de Diciembre es de los más importantes del año. No hay nada mejor para los latinos que celebrar la Navidad en sus países de origen. Sin embargo, muchos de los latinos que vivimos aquí en los Estados Unidos no podemos ir a nuestros países y celebrar la Navidad allá, pero tratamos de continuar y revivir nuestras tradiciones estando aquí. Las tradiciones de Navidad en los países latinoamericanos son muy similares, pero cada país tiene una manera especial de celebrarla, al igual que cada familia. La religión que predomina entre los latinos es la religión católica, lo cual contribuye a que la mayoría de las tradiciones sean basadas en la religión católica. Las tradiciones de navidad latinas se identifican con las posadas, las piñatas, los regalos, los cuetes, la noche buena, las pastorelas, etc. Por ejemplo, en México las celebraciones principales son: comenzando con el primer domingo de adviento, en el que se lleva a la iglesia a bendecir una corona decorada de acuerdo a cada familia con cinco velas (tres moradas, una rosa y una blanca). Cada domingo se enciende una vela, se hace una oración hasta el día de Navidad en la que se encienden las cinco durante la cena. El día 16 de Diciembre comienzan -las posadas que representan la travesía de María y José durante los nueve meses. Sé pide posada cantando una letanía, se rompe la piñata, se toma ponche y se reparten los aguinaldos. Los católicos van á la "Misa del Gallo" (o a la del día siguiente, Navidad). Para la cena de Nochebuena, se sirve el pavo (o las gallinas), pupusas (tortillas con especias, tomate y carne de res o pollo) y aquellos que les quede apetito, ensalada también. Listen P rocess.

El 28 de Diciembre se celebra el día de los santos inocentes, jugándole bromas a los conocidos, aunque realmente representa el día en que el rey Heródes mandó matar a todos los menores de dos años temiendo perder su reino! En San José de Costa Rica, en el día de Navidad, la ciudad se ilumina de manera muy especial, a lo cual se añaden las luces de Bengala, cohetes, fuegos artificiales. Abren parques de diversiones con toboganes, carruseles y ruedas de la fortuna. Para los adultos hay ruletas, tiros al blanco, la famosa lotería y toda clase de juegos de azar. Se presentan corridas de toros mansos con toreros aficionados, partidos de fútbol y carreras de ciclistas. Todo esto, después de los bailes populares y familiares que siguieron a la cena de Nochebuena. Es larga la lista de actividades y tradi- ciones que los países latinos hacen durante el mes de diciembre. Los latinos que estamos aquí en los Estados Unidos tratamos de revivir esas tradiciones bonitas que nos recuerdan a nuestros países, y los que pueden viajan a ellos durante este mes para reunirse con sus familiares. Una de las tradiciones que tratamos de revivir los latinos en los Estados Unidos son las Pastorelas. Este pasado 5 y 6 de Diciembre, el Centro de la Artes de Escondido ofreció la obra de la pastorela presentada en español y por estudiantes de la Universidad de San Marcos y de otras escuelas de la región. Esta obra presentó canciones^ bailables de varias regiones de México, así como la popular y tradicional historia de el nacimiento del niño Jesús y el camino a Belén, ofreciendo a su público parte de las bonitas tradiciones Latinoamericanas. A b oost o f e nergy, t he h elathy a lternative By TABIKA ROJAS Pride Staff Writer Students often lead busy lives. Most juggle schoolwork, employment, family life, and social activities. Some have early morning classes and skip breakfast or have classes straight through lunch. Skipping meals can make it difficult to stay sharp during class time. A recent poll that I conducted of CSUSM students suggests that most use a common method to stay alert during their school day, and that is eating. Eating seems to be a popular choice among most students, and it's not just any food that students are reaching for to give them an energy boost, but snack foods. More times than not, students head to the nearest vending machine to grab that big bag of chips or candy bar to satisfy their hunger pains, and help keep them awake during classes. According to Dr. Karen Nicholson of Student Health Services there are some important things to remember when choosing a healthy snack. "Reading the nutritional label and knowing the fat content is one important step in choosing a healthy snack," Nicholson said. Also, Nicholson warns students that just because a label states, "low fat," doesn't necessarily mean it is good for you. She says there is good fat and bad fat and knowing the difference is key. Staying away form hydrogenated palm oils, a type of fat, and concentrating on monounsatu- "Knowing the fat content is one important step in choosing a healthy snack." rated fats is some advice that she gives. Finally, Nicholson said, "get your five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, and tomato sauce on a pizza does not count." One way to ensure that you get your fruits and vegetables is to shop ahead of time and bring fresh fruits and veggies in a baggie to class for a snack. Lowfat muffins or breads such/as pumpkin, zucchini, or banana are also healthy snacks. For those who want further information, individual nutrition counseling is available with Cathy Nguyen, the health educator at Student Health Services. �L ETTERS TO THE E DITOR Good food can be found in the Dome Ryan Mock's article "Food at "for outside companies to have CSUSM tastes so bad when it profitable operations here."

Trouble R< SHARED G OVERNANCE ByDIDILUND Pride StaffWriter The university depends on shared governance to maintain credibility and grant various powers to the students. This shared governance essentially means that the university has allowed students to sit on a variety of committees — committees that dictate all sorts of things that directly affect students and their pocketbooks. Everything from parking fees to academic majors, grade appeals to campus beautification is addressed in these committees. Decisions made directly affect students, who should therefore be involved in the decision making process. Unfortunately, that ideal is not always realized. Although many administrators would like to see the seats filled by students, it's difficult to get them to sit on these committees when work and class schedules leave few moments to spare. Even when the student seats are filled, these committees are not always utilized. Early last year, the parking fee increase proposal was submitted to the student fee advisory committee, who informed then CSUSM President Gonzalez of their recommendation. The fee increase would be a burden on the students, they said. It's too steep. Gonzalez and the powers that be remained silent on the parking increase until, two weeks before the end of the semester; they announced a huge fee increase. The advisory committee's recommendation was effectively thrown in the garbage and students were outraged. This disregard to the student fee committee demonstrates the lack of power we students have on this campus. We are given these advisory committees as tokens; students have no real power influencing the policies being developed which govern our lives. It's politics as usual. Last week, Arnold proposed $23.7 million in cuts to the CSU system after he reassured students in the higher education system by promising no cuts. "Education is my passion and Cali- By TABIKA ROJAS Pride StaffWriter Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/The Pride "Everything from parking fees to a cademic majors, grade appeals to c ampus beautification is addressed in these c ommittees/' forma is not where it should be," he said. That's right; it's not. When students can't even afford to pay their parking fees, there's a problem. Recently the CSSA has co-authored AB-550, a bill designed to implement a statewide student fee advisory committee, a body made up of mostly students who would deliberate over proposed fee increases coming from the Board of Trustees. In its original form, this proposition would allow the students power to kick the proposals back to the legislation if they felt the fees were unrealistic or disrespecting students' abilities to pay these fees while still maintaining access to quality education. That's shared governance. However, this bill has been revised so that this committee would be powerless in changing proposed fee cuts but maintain an advisory status. Still, it's a step in the right direction. Until our legislators allow us to have a real say in the policies which govern our lives, shared governance will continue to be a form of politically correct rhetoric for our policy makers and politics as usual will continue hacking away at our pocketbooks. Recently I have experienced some frustration with trying to create my schedule for the spring semester. I am a Literature and Writing major here at CSUSM and like many students I must try to balance my school schedule with work and family life. This has not always been easy, especially when the classes I need are only offered once a semester and at one scheduled time. Some of the classes are either too early or too late in the afternoon and conflict with my work schedule. I know that I am not alone in this complaint as I have heard several students with the same problem. Karen Hart, a senior here at CSUSM said, "I had to rearrange my job schedule in order to enroll in one of the classes I need to graduate because it was only offered at one time during the day." I contacted the Literature and Writing Department and spoke with the Department Chair of Literature and Writing Studies who is responsible for creating the schedule, Dr. Susie Cassel. Cassel said, "there are only about two hundred Literature and Writing majors here at CSUSM and that is not enough students to offer the classes at a variety of times." She further explained that all Core classes are offered in the same semester. When I asked her about solutions such as online courses or independent study courses, Dr. Cassel explained that independent study courses are offered, and they have done many over the years. "The only drawback to the independent study courses is the students don't get the benefit of discussion," said Cassel. The independent study courses are also not allowed for courses that are offered regularly. WÈÊÊÊËÊÈË Instructors are able to conduct 1 online courses and those students interested should feel free to 0 approach their instructors with the request. Dr. Cassel also says she tries to make sure that all the courses are in different time slots each semester in order to give every student the ••3 opportunity to take the courses. Night courses are also now being «¡11 piloted tofindout if enough students CSUSM students are interested in a night program. have become used to seeing classes full or 309B is offered this semester, and cancelled online. 309A will be offered at night in the spring semester, so all students interested in a night program should enroll in these courses. Dr. Cassel also wants students to know that if enough students were interested in a course being offered at a specific time she would be willing to offer it. Dr. Cassel ended by saying, "I welcome complaints suggestions or comments. I have an open door policy" �THE PRIDE Tuesday, December 9, 2003 1 1 IT'S A LL A BOUT S ELL YOUR B OOKS FOR CA$H NOW!

Here's what they liked: #1 Photo Courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures "Ernest Saves Christmas," starring Jjm Varney, is the story of how Santa Clause decides to retire and hire someone else to take his place, however, the real Santa ends up in jail, and it is up to Ernest, played by Varney, to get him out. Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers The Second favorite movie was "A Christmas Story," starring Peter Billingsley. This movie takes place in the 1940's, and is a classic story of a boy's holiday dream to get the one thing that he desires for Christmas. Unfortunately, in his case, he desires a BB gun. Disapproving of the idea, his mother repeatedly crushes his dreams by replying^ "you'll shoot your eye out." "Ernest is the man!" -Paul Han "It was so funny when the kid wanted that BB gun, his whole family was hilarious. It's a classic Christmas movie." -Sarah Blakely "I've watched it with my family every Christmas, so it brings back memories." -Mike Zahalan Photo Courtesy of Paramount Pictures "Up In Smoke" "It's Full of action." —Cory Haynes Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers Photo Courtesy of 20th Century Fox 'Tlome Alone," starring Macaulay Culkin, is the story of a young 8-year-old boy who was accidentally left at home while his rather large family went on a vacation to Europe for Christmas. Left to his own defenses, he battles burglars, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, who try to rob his parents' house. Out of the people surveyed on campus, many said that "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" was their favorite movie to see during the holidays. Starring Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo, this slapstick comedy is a comforting reminder that there's someone out there with a family that's crazier than our own. "Chevy Chase is comedy!" -Cole Kristensen "Because it is a classic." - Chad Medina #5 "Why? It's hilarious. " -André Rosemond Photo Courtesy of Warner Brothers "The Green Mile" "It teaches that a person shouldn't be judged by skin color and should be given a fair chance to defend themselves." -Patricia Guevarra Photo Courtesy of Dimension Films Photo Courtesy of Sony Wonder "Frosty The Snowman," which has many cartoon movie versions, is a classic Christmas story that has been a favorite movie for many generations. "Bad Santa" is a new movie, starring Billy Bob Thorton and Lauren Graham. It is the story of a drinking, smoking, filthy-mouthed, sexobsessed Santa impersonator, who steals from department store safes over the holiday seasons with his elf partner, played by Tony Cox. "The movie was great, lots of comedy, and I had a great time watching it." -Maria Arroya t Photo Courtesy of New Line Cinema "Friday After Next" "Because it's very funny" —Jamal Tate � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

EDITORIAL A ctions are louder My education fees cost me $2,709 this semester and my parking fee cost $158; why? Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger used his authority to strip $23.7 million from the CSU for this Spring 0 4' semester. He proposes to cut 9 percent of the CSU's funds for the 04-05 school year. What does this mean for the CSU? Our student fees raised 40 percent within a year — outstanding. It means that EOPS and outreach programs will cease to exist for a year or longer. It means that that the CSU can't grow. It means that teachers lost their jobs and students' education must suffer. Blame the electricity crisis and Gray Davis, blame it on Schwarzenegger and his cuts, blame the economy, the deficit.

The reapplication process will include a lottery drawing of names that will guarantee rooms for only 125 students out of 460 currently living there. Other students who did not win the lottery and want to continue living in the UVA are going to have to wait till May 1 to find out if they will have a place to live the next school year. According to Director of the UVA Heather Singer, "Priority is being given to transfer students as opposed to freshman." Currently, there are 82 percent freshmen living in the dorms. She said that the next year there will be 55 percent freshmen living in the dorms giving it a different atmosphere. The lottery drawing has stirred up mixed reactions amongst students who currently live in the dorms. Although business major Lupe Soto is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing he is not buying into the lottery drawing. According to Soto, "Students that live here should have priority." Priority should also be given to students that apply to live at the UVA early. Freshman Michelle Lansinger does not agree. Although she is not going to be affected by the lottery drawing since she is not going to reapply next semester she thinks that the plan is fair since it gives students the opportunity to stay at the UVA.

However, before we get into the ugliness of the new uncertainty, I would like to welcome back all of you who are returning for another semester on our h ill For those who are joining us for the first time this semester* welcome and do not be intimidated. It is my understanding from some of the new students that I have spoke to that the orientation process was less than reassuring. To that I say relax, but also prepare. Thefirstsemester here is by far the worst for it is both demanding and gut wrenching. I would suggest to all you first timers not to get discouraged: it will get easier with time. For those who are not familiar with the position of ombudsman, I will give you a quick background. I write for the paper as a student like all the other Pride reporters, photographers and editors. What the ombudsman does precisely is provide a liaison for the readers to sift through and respond complaints and criticisms regarding the articles in The Pride. Therefore, g t^r P ride I encourage readers to e-mail me with their thoughts or condemnations for The Pride, to which I respond independently based solely on the validity of the claim. In other words, the ombudsman is like the conscience of The Pride. As for the new uncertainty, that could be the slogan for the future of the CSU system. Certainly changes are in our future with the proposals made by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These changes are at the best uncertain and at the worst will resonate grimly through the halls of our campus from class cancellations and overcrowded classrooms to the elimination of programs and services for the students. The student population must voice their opinion on the proposed fee hikes and budget cuts to the CSU for this is a matter that cannot be thrown to the side. Gov Schwarzenegger's proposal will be a constant theme throughout the semester, please e-mail me and let me know your thoughts on his ideas. Also, e-mail me your thoughts on this edition of The Pride. My e-mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu HELP WANTED! g Mr Rrid^| BE INVOLVED W ITH YOUR STUDENT PAPER! GREAT RESUME BUILDER!

Broken water valve causesfirein Academic Hall By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter By JONATHAN RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The frequent routine of repairing busted water pipes at campus sparked a cause for alarm Wednesday, when flooding shorted circuits in Academic Hall igniting a fire. University Police evacuated the building and called for firefighters to come, nobody was hurt. This is the second time that broken water pipes have caused a closure at Academic Hall, the largest classroom building. In spring 2003, part of the building closed due to flooding. At a school with miles of water and electrical valves, there are of thousands of places where systems can fail, said Chuck Walden, director of facilities services. Wliile his crew repaired the valve, they saw sparks inside the wall of the men's third floor bathroom. To get to the glow, they cut a hole in the wall and found a fire. By that time, the heavy smell of burnt rubber floated through the third floor and two fire alarms were pulled. Olaf Hansen, a math professor, said it took five minutes to evacuate from the fourth floor. "It was really calm," he said. Rebecca Bazquez, said she thought the alarm See FIRE, page 2 CFA speaks out against new Budget Photo by Jon Rodley/77*e Pride A fter f ire a larms r ang t hrough A cademic H all, M ichael V asile o f t he S an M arcos F ire D epartment a rrived o n s cene w ith t wo o ther f irefighters, W ednesday. The California State University system (CSU) will experience a 20 percent decrease in state support j n two years if Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed budget is approved by the Legislature this summer. The proposed budget will cut approximately $240 million from the CSU and would, once again, increase student fees. The California Faculty Association (CFA) has produced a summary analysis of how the proposed budget cuts will affect the CSU. Included in the summary is the impact on student fees and financial aid. The CFA's primary concerns are the decreasing enrollment, elimination of student success programs, student - teacher ratio, and the likely loss of teachers, courses, and/or library services. "The last thing California can afford right now is a cut to the CSU/' said John Travis, CFA president and a government professor at Humboldt State University. State Treasurer Phil Angelides will start visiting CSU campuses Jan 20 to call attention to the proposed budget and how it will affect the CSU system and the impact it will have on California's economy. "The CSU infuses billions each year into the California economy and produces tens of thousands of educated and productive workers each y ear/' said Travis. For more information on Gov. Schwarzenegger's proposed 2004/05 budget or to see the CFA's 10-page analysis go to: www.calfax.org/reseach.html. Tours available; grand opening at Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter Photo by Sarah Carlin/T/ie Pride T he n ew K ellogg L ibrary h osts a S tarbucks m ultiple s tudyrooms a nd a mple c omputers. The new Kellogg library is hosting tours of the new building for members of the campus community. Grand opening ceremonies are scheduled for Friday, March 5, at noon, and will host a number of speakers and performing artists. "We welcome students to come in and explore on their own," said Melanie Chu, outreach and multicultural librarian. "We've got maps at the information kiosk, when you walk into the front, and we also have maps at the research help desk." Chu added that a more detailed map of the new library can be found on the research webpage. Class tours can be arranged by contacting the department librarian, or individuals can tag along on another tour. Those interested can contact either Chu, at extension 4378, or Gabriela Sonntag, coordinator, information literacy program, at extension 4356. Chu said that there are different tours happening, and clubs, committees, or individuals should contact her. The library is 200,000 square feet, hosts over 300 new computers, nearly 30 study rooms and 250,000 books. Starbucks can be found on the third floor, left of the main entrance.

The ASI support for an environmental class requirement is only one step to getting the proposed requirement to be mandated by the administration. The Environmental Action Group (EAG) has been gathering support for the requirement by getting signatures around campus. "We have close to 600 signatures so far," said Didi Lund, ASI arts & science representative. The next step for the environmental requirement will be for the Academic Senate to approve it. The Academic Senate is made up of faculty that evaluates and recommends new academic matters to the President of CSUSM.

Though no one in the By MELISSA RODRIGUEZ Pride StaffWriter The CSUSM nursing program, set to be operational by fall 2006, has received a $350,000 federal appropriation thanks to Congressman Randy Cunningham (R-San Diego), a member of the House Appropriations Committee. The funds are part of the FY 2004 Omnibus Appropriation bill passed by the U.S. Senate on Jan. 2 2,2004. "I am proud to support the community coalition established at Cal State San Marcos to address San Diego County's nursing shortage by providing this $350,000 in federal funding through the FY2004 Omnibus Appropriations Act," Cunningham said. The money was requested by CSUSM to support the expenses of developing a nursing bachelor's degree program. If all goes as planned, by 2008 the first graduates of the program will be able to enter the workforce helping to alleviate local and national need for health care professionals. "As in hospitals all across the country, patients are facing longer waits, postponed surgeries, and fewer available staffed beds as a result of the nursing shortage. This program will train a new generation of nurses to serve our region," Cunningham said.

There will be 175 less students accepted compared to Spring 2003, Campus officials say that the controls have been effective in limiting enrollment. Although, there was a 45 percent increase in applicants to CSUSM from fall of last year, registration rates have dropped. "The demand is clearly there," said Francine Martinez, vice president of Student Affairs. "But as the state reduces our funding, we are forced to limit admissions."

By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter As this semester's features editor, and I hope to incorporate national and international events into The Pride. This semester in the features section, we will host a column in which The Pride, along with the help of its readerships will explore national and international events. This week the topic of discussion deals with Hie exploration of Mars. I, who am personally skeptic of my own generation, was pleasantly surprised by the careful thoughts and insights of the fellow students I talked with. I have and always will, thought it important that we know what each other think about issues of importance. We live in important times, as will those who live after us. If you have an opinion you wish to express, or an event you would like to explore with us, e-mail the pride@csusm.edu (ATTN: University Voice). Please enjoy knowing this semester, though our column, what we learn from you. Brett Gladys Math major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think, I mean, what the benefits of it are a greater understanding of the world we live in. It is a lot better to have scientific backing for what you believe than to believe blindly in something. To have some sort of facts to back things up is sort of nice. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think if life somehow evolved to some extent on another planet, it would help us understand how it evolved on ours and if it evolved a different way. Maybe not using DNA the way ours is. It would be interesting and kind of lead us in the right direction of, and understanding of how we came to be. Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on mars? I am not so sure about the politics of Mars; the moon on the other hand is I think the proverbial lifting of the leg and pissing on everything to mark your territory. General comments? I think there are unseen advantages. I think that the Galileo was the satellite that saw the comet that hit Jupiter and we didn't know that was going to happen when we sent it out there. There could be unexpected benefits that we don't know about. I'm sure that political motives drive billions of billions of billions of dollars being spent, but there are other advantages there. Amber Davis Literature and Writing Studies major Senior What kind of benefits do you foresee with space exploration? I think it put people's minds to rest to have actual proof instead of just theories like we always had. Theories that the world was round, but we never actually proved it until we went to space. We've only known for fact that the world is round for the past sixty years, right? Maybe we had theories about Mars and other places like that, but now we can maybe put people's minds to rest, and have actual proof and data. Do you think that exploration on Mars is important? Why or why not? I think it is another place for man to go. It is the next natural place for us to go besides further into the ocean. We've seen what there is on land and earth, so why not go further? Do you think there are any political implications with exploration on Mars? Maybe so that we can say that we were the first ones to do it. Wasn't it the United States and Russia that had the race to get to the moon first? The same type of thing. Feel superior to get there first. General comments? I think probably money could be spent other places, put to better use. Conquering Mars and searching on Mars isn't going to solve any problems that we have. Did it really help anything? There are other things we could be doing. The whole education thing, and budget cuts, and people are going to Mars. It's kind of funny.

Misadventures in the new Kellogg Library By SARAH CARLIN Pride StaffWriter It's spacious, has lots of windows and a great view. No, this isn't the description of a seaside resort available for leasing in La Jolla, but the new technologically savvy Kellogg Library. Isn't it the best when you start a new semester and there is a new building? This semester all of us are being greeted with a new library. The new Kellogg library is 200,000 square feet of caffeinated f un and adventure. Last Tuesday, January 20, the library opened its doors to the campus community. Checking out the new library was the first thing I did when I arrived on campus. Construction dust continues to settle during the library's first week of being open, and temporary signs guide students where and where not to go. Some of the signs are a little confusing, not everything is up and running and elevator access is a little barring. Taking the elevator to the first floor is sort of interesting. You step off of the blue back-dropped elevator into what feels like a psychiatric wing of a hospital. It smells of linoleum glue and the fluorescent lights hum. There aren't any windows here and there isn't much to see other than the writing center, math lab and classrooms full of students, lots of students. We went up to the second floor and meandered our way through the books and computer lab, getting a bit lost when we reached the deadended hallways which are home to all of the new, not-yet-completed, conference rooms. We found our way out though, not to worry, and then, there it was, what I really wanted to find most of all—the media library. I owe some late fees at the video store in my town, so I have been hesitant to go in for a while. It is always nice to go where the rentals are free and you keep the video for a week. After feeding my film fix, my friend and I got on the elevator to take us to the third floor; the doors began to close when a man hopped in. He saw that we had already pressed the third floor button and relaxed against the cloth-covered wall of the elevator. We were all waiting for the doors to shut and begin moving up to the next floor. The doors began closing then reopening. A woman in her early twenties entered the elevator. She pressed the button for the first floor. We smiled. "Is this the first floor?" asked the woman to the man. "No, no, I think this is the second floor. The main entrance is on the See LIBRARY, page 5 Campus police, and programs offered By NICOLE SULLIVAN Pride StaffWriter Officer Carla Kayyon hopes that in the third week of February she can host a date rape and sexual assault class at the University Village Apartments or the Field house. She wants the class to be comfortable and with food and a discussion type setting and is open to everyone. Officer Kayyon was hired in March and is excited to see the things that will take place on campus. Last semester the university police offered two Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshops which teach women about rape awareness, prevention and self defense tactics. The University police want to offer more RAD workshops this semester. This spring the university police wants to have a DUI booth with sight impaired goggles and sobriety tests. Chief Schulteis said, "We have two goals here as the campus police. One, is to protect the community by enforcing the law and keeping the education process uninterrupted. And, two, we want to teach the community how to better protect themselves from crime and hazards." Chief Schulteis also said that he wants more officers to get specialization certificates, which can aid the community about awareness. More workshops like RAD, date rape and sexual assault, alcohol awareness programs and selfdefense workshops will be offered. Campus police also offers an escort service. A Community Service Officer (CSO), or an officer, will assist anyone to their car by simply calling extension 4567 at any one of the blue emergency phones located on campus. The escort service is there for anyone who needs it. Whether you're feeling ill, afraid to walk out to your car late at night or locked your keys in the car, a CSO or officer will be there to escort. \Officer Alex Mohn said, "We want to provide a better learning environment for the students and we want them to be able to come to school and not feel threatened. We don't want them to be afraid to call us and ask for an escort service. We want everyone to know that we are here to help the students and faculty." �L IBRARY from page 4 thirdfloor,"said the man. The woman said, "God, I was just asking a question." "Well, uh, I mean, uh, I think that the first floor is down and we are going to the third floor, which is the main level. Maybe that is the level you want." His tone was not sarcastic. He was probably being more helpful to someone who has serious anger issues than he needed to be. And then we all stood there in uncomfortable silence. I looked over at my friend and gave him the 'she is a psycho' face. He agreed. I then looked over and gave the man the same look. He responded by signaling to me with the 'I have no idea what just happened here' look. We all stood there in uncomfortable silence. We all arrived on the third floor. "I was just asking a fucking question. You fucking dick," said the woman. She seemed sort of flustered and tripped a little over the threshold as she exited. "I don't know what I said," said the man. "Hell if I know," I said. "But I know a certain someone who needs to not do lots of drugs before coming to school." We all had a good chuckle and walked off in separate directions. The woman on the elevator seemed frustrated. I can only assume she was frustrated because she was lost and not because of the answer she got to her question. P ILI© OR FIRST FLOOR: Maybe she was lost because not all posted in the ' RESTROOMS library are perfectly clear, yet. My friend and I prior to getting on the elevator were lost ourselves. Even a staff member we saw on the asylum-esque first floor warned us in passing not to get lost because it was easy to do. Her frustration does not, however excuse her bitchy demeanor.

ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter pondered their break. Kim said she didn't feel like she did anything at all, but upon further questioning the truth came out. "I went to L.A. and I went to Venice and If there's one thing this last week has taught CSUSM students, it's that the winter I.. .1 bought a bong," she said.

It's a chance to stash some cash towards the angina causing bookstore bill and the car payment size parking permit. Yolanda Miranda, senior, liberal studies, said it all with only a look when asked what she did over the break. "Just worked," she said. That's it? Nothing else? When the question was posed again the answer was the same. Miranda Chad Frank and Alicia Duwey did offer an extraordinary amount of find out exactly what did they do over the knowledge on men's suits and a few places to buy them, but that reflects how she pays semester break.

Chad went to New York City and hung out in Manhattan. His favorite part? "Wall Street, just to see everything, all the buildings," he said. Makes sense for a business major. Grand Central also topped his list as well as the World Trade Center and the massive space sixteen blocks of nothing. Chad's friend, Alicia Duwey, junior, communications, did nothing so exciting, but set herself up for future good times by moving from Escondido to Solana beach. "I wake up in the morning and I go ahhh. I drive home, and I go ahhh." In between her move Alicia found time for some much needed partying because as she said, "You have to get it all out." Friends Kim Raymon and Jenna Hill Ella DeSantis She works for an advertising firm and lives in a nice neighborhood downtown. When asked what she did, the reply was familiar, "I worked to pay for school and living expenses." By the time the next break rolls around, you'll find CSUSM students doing roughly the same as thé ones featured here. Some will take off on exciting vacations; Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, anywhere fun. Others will see some family and stay local, work summer jobs, maybe part-time, and bal- ance that with beach bonfires and trips to P.B. or their local watering hole. Others still will continue to work their full-time jobs but will have the stress of college temporarily removed and hopefully, find time to sneak away once in a while for a f un night out and some well deserved R&R. �%MKHAELDCEAN M ie Ombudsman Many things are new on campus this semester; The new Starbucks in the new Kellogg Library establishes a foothold for corporate America on our campus.

Schwarzenegger's proposed budget for the CSU By Cal St Univ Chancellor CHARLES B. REED Welcome to a new term at the California State University. I hope everyone had good holidays and that you are looking forward to your new classes. There have been significant developments on the state budget front, and I want to take this opportunity to bring you up to date on what we know about the CSU budget. As Governor Schwarzenegger's proposal makes its way through legislative hearings, we will need all of your help communicating with legislators to make sure that adequate funding is available so that the CSU can continue to offer highquality education to all of its 409,000 students. The governor proposed cutting $240 million or 9 percent from the California State University system for the 2004-05 fiscal year. This will potentially limit student access by approximately 20,000 students if the cuts are implemented as proposed. This new cut, combined with the 2003-04 General Fund budget cut of the critical role we play in the state's eco$531 million, means that our budget has nomic health. been cut in the past two years by $771 You probably have read or heard about million or a 28.8 percent reduction in state the governor's proposal to increase support for students. undergraduate fees by 10 percent, which .

Ifyou would like more information about the CSU's 2004-05 budget, please visit our website at http://www.calstate.edu/ BudgetCentral/index.shtml. The state budget crisis has created significant challenges for the CSU. We are focused on ensuring that our enrolled students get the courses they need to graduate. And, the CSU remains committed to its mission of providing a high-quality, accessible higher education for our students. To continue to do so, we need all 409,000 students and 44,000 faculty and staff to convey a simple fact: that the CSU is working for California. We need everyone to talk about what a CSU education means, and what would happen if quality, access and affordability disappear from the California State University. We cannot let that happen. �m By DANIELLE BOLDT Pride StaffWriter A glass of sangría, the sound of the Brazilian drum, and the décor and ambiance of a typical Euro-Latin club makes it seem as if you are actually there, in Brazil. What better way to spend a Sunday night than to samba dancing at Café Sevilla? With good company at my side, my boyfriend Eric, and I tried to break the Sunday night monotony so we ventured off to the Gaslamp district downtown. There, we found ourselves at Café Sevilla on Fourth Avenue. Perhaps it was the Spanish tapas that we recently tasted in Sevilla's dining room that lured us back. We paid a $7 cover fee upon entering the club. Dance lessons had already started but we decided to join the fun, We could not help but laugh at the others and ourselves as we imitated a lady wearing a pink halter and bells on her hips. Moving to the rhythm twice as fast as most modern dance moves, we tried our best to catch on to the samba choreography. Believe it or not, there is a proper way to shake your hips, and the variations of hip shaking are what make the samba come alive. It is possible that the instructor's bells contributed to the liveliness as well. The fast paced, Latin soundtrack that we followed was very conducive to making the dance come alive. After about twenty minutes we were already improvising the steps and adding our own spice to the dance. It was refreshing to see that the others who surrounded us came in all different shapes, sizes, and levels of experience and confidence. An older gentleman brought his stuff with absolutely no concern for some comic relief with his bravado. Oppothe beat or particular style of the music. site from Eric and I, across the dance floor, On the other side, a group of college aged a goofy man in his late sixties was strutting girls looked as if they were rehearsing for the band to play. There is nothing like sangria, a refreshing blend of vino rojo, berries and apples, to compliment the evening. To our surprise, the band consisted of seven drummers. What kind of band is this without a keyboard, guitar, trumpet, or some type of instrumental variation? We waited in suspense as we began to doubt Brazilian night and wonder if we came to the club on the wrong night. The music did not sound like the upbeat Latin tune that we had heard on the soundtrack to "Woman on Top." It was a strange sort of culture shock that came over us, as we began to hear what was so unfamiliar. It sounded like a tribal dance. Evidently, the others around us felt the same way, as nobody except for the goofy old man and an unusually ecstatic lady were dancing. After the first couple of songs, the beat of the drum began to grow on us, as we found our way shaking across the floor, with about thirty to forty others. With the exception of a couple of cocktail sessions in between, Eric and I found it difficult to refrain from dancing. We agreed that it had truly been an enjoyable experience. No, it was not the typical samba music that we followed in the previous hour, or the sound and movement of Carmen Electra, but we experienced a Brazilian club without actually purchasing a plane ticket. Now, every Sunday night isfilledwith a touch of "little Brazil." Club Sevilla features live entertainment every night of the week. Brazilian night is every Sunday. Tuesday, Wednesday, . and Thursday, a salsa band plays live.

During his visit Chen will host a screening of his film S am C hen "Eternal Gaze," and he "will conduct eight workshops on the creative process of animation. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be held on Monday, Feb. 2 in Arts 240. The computer-animated 16 minute film created by Chen, with music by composer Jamey Scott, is the winner of numerous accolades including the Best Animation award at the Siggrapph 2003 ClryAZ^E » A. • O ' & E THE PRIDE Award winning animator brings film and expertise to CSUSM I T -- M S Electronic Theater. Animation has been a medium often reserved for the fantastical stories of inhuman creatures. "Eternal Gaze" is different. This film chronicles the life of a real man. Chen's film pays homage to Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) a brilliant twentieth century surrealist sculptor, painter and draftsman who never received the acclaim of his contemporaries. In a statement Chen said, "With careful attention to historical facts and details, the works of art featured in this film are nearexact digital reproductions from Giacometti's lifework.. .But most of all, 'Eternal Gaze' is a heartfelt story and a loving tribute to one of the greatest but least recognized artists of our time." Giacometti, like many artists, suffered from a tormented mind. It gave him the inspiration and talent to create. At the same time, it frustrated him to the point of destroying his art when he felt he could not achieve his artistic vision. While giving us a look into the artist's mind and environment, "Eternal Gaze" illustrates the passionate relationship between the creator and his creation. Giacometti's sculptures were his love. In this film Chen givQS those sculptures the life they need to love him back. For an opportunity to learn from Chen, students, staff and faculty should contact Kristine Diekman at kdiekman@csusm.edu to reserve a seat in the workshops he will be hosting. Chen will be sharing his knowledge of story and character development, storyboarding and how to study human movement in order to animate it.

NEW®I ByDAVEWERTH& ERICMERCADO Pride StaffWritets Budget cuts are likely to impact CSUSM once again as Governor Schwarzenegger suggestsr removing the Educational Opportunity Program from California State University campuses. The EOP has been a part of the CSU for almost 35 years, and has been providing the opportunity for low income, first generation, and underrepresented students to complete a higher level of education. Providing free counseling, academic workshops, supplemental instruction, financial grants, and many other student services, the EOP serves almost 500 students on the CSUSM campus. The people here are great, I have received help financially, and the counselors here are very supportive in our achievement and success, said Janet Perez, a first generation college student. Perez is one of 497 students at CSUSM who are now receiving help from the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP). The governor's proposed cuts will eliminate $36 million dollars from the CSU budget across 23 campuses and impact thousands of students, many of whom may only have one or two semesters of schooling left. CSUSM receives approximately $500,000 annually to keep this program running. The governor's proposed budget would cut about $74 million dollars from the CSU and $52 million from student outreach programs in 2004-2005, leaving the EOP, with an entire budget of $37 million, completely gone. The results of the EOP program at CSUSM have been remarkable, financially and academically. Out of the 309 EOP grants offered, all were awarded. In addition, EOP first-year student retention rates range from the 90 percentile, while regulatory CSUSM-admitted first-time freshman only hit a 70.5 percent retention rate. The program not only assists EOP students financially, but it also provides personal and academic counselors. Students like Janet Perez may use the retention center, which provides a mini computer lab, f ree printing for its students and lent-out laptops for students Proposition 56 would modify budget process By KEVIN BRABEC Pride StaffWriter Proposition 56 is on the March 2004 ballot in order to change the requirements of the California budget-making process by modifying the^ state constitution. The areas iiivolved are the state's budget and budget-related taxes. If passed, the proposition would decrease the . current two-thirds (67 percent) approval requirement to 55 percent approval f rom both houses of the legislation. In other words, it would take fewer votes on the proposed budget plan to get it passed on to the next level. California is one of three states — the others being Rhode Island and Arkansas — that have a two-thirds requirement in place. Currently, if both houses of the legislature approve the proposed budget by two-thirds or mòre, the plan is then forwarded on to the governor for his approval. At that point it is up to the governor to either approve it, thus putting it in to affect, or to require changes and resubmission at a later date. The governor has to sign a budget for it to be put into affect, giving him the ultimate say on the proposed budget. This leads into one of the proposition's changes.

"Our goal at EOP is to support our students in any way we can, said Lorena Meza, Director of Student Support Services and the Educational Opportunity Program. We thrive on long term student success through university access providing academic advising and educational counseling, and offering academic support. That's why so many of our students are successful." Meza, who is a product of the EOP herself, shared some insight on the cuts that may occur as early as June of this year. "The keystones of the CSU were access and affordability, and now they are targeting the neediest programs. People often wonder why these students are getting free photocopies, personalized counseling, mid-semester evaluations and grants, but they don't realize that many of these students barely have any food to eat at home." Photo by Sarah Csrim/The Pride The EOP, which does not target specific ethnicities, age groups, or gender groups, solely bases the student's eligibility on total annual income. A student living as an independent who makes no more than $9,900 annually would be eligible for these services and grants from the EOP. The grants range from $400-$1000, and help the students buy books, bus passes, and other necessities.

The Chancellor proposed to the Board a 5 percent, or approximately 20,000-student, enrollment reduction plan uniformly among all 23 CSU campuses. Enrollment reductions must be "immediately implemented," explained the Chancellor, "Because the application period ended at the end of November. Students are waiting to hear about being admitted to CSU." About 2 percent of the 5 percent reduction will be able to attend a community college in order to complete 60 hours of lower GE requirements. Upon completion of an AA degree, "we would guarantee them that they could get into a CSU," stated Chancellor Reed. He further explained that this proposed measure would save the CSU system approximately $100 million. The Governor's Office made four recommendations in lieu of the proposed budget cuts: First, the new budget set the following fee structure: a 10 percent fee increase for undergraduate students, 40 percent for graduate students, and a 20 percent increase for non-residents, on top of other fees. Chancellor Reed expressed agreement with the Governor's policy recommendations for "a more stable fee policy." "He has recommended a cap on fees based upon personal income growth," said Chancellor Reed. Second, the Governor recommended CSU schools redirect 10 percent, or 4,000 first-time freshmen to community colleges. Criteria have not yet been established for "some fair and equitable basis" for determining which freshmen would be affected, the Chancellor admitted, although he affirmed, "we're going to really look hard about how we can do that." Third, Chancellor Reed expressed support for the Governor's proposed "Excess .Credit Hour Policy," according to which students taking more than 10 percent above their required units for graduation would be charged " full price." As a result, students who now pay about 20 percent of the cost for education, or about $2,000, would pay about $10,000 in tuition. The Chancellor noted, "We can work on that. We think the policy ought to be about fif- teen percent. Academic advising, course offerings need to be a lot clearer. Maybe we would only allow students to change their major once." Fourth, the Governor recommended eliminating EOP (Education Opportunity Program) and outreach programs, with which the Chancellor summarily disagreed, stating that, "We can prove that students that participated in EOP programs graduate at about a thirty percent rate better than students that don't." He responded to the proposal by saying, "We think we can do something creative and keep our EOP programs, rather than just wipe them out. We would rather reduce our enrollment than do away with our EOP outreach programs." Chancellor Reed invited students, faculty, staff, and presidents to come to the Chancellor's Office in February to a planned Budget Summit to work on some of the proposed ideas. Chancellor Reed called the budget "not a pretty picture," and expressed concern that if the proposed $15 billion bond on the March 2 ballot fails, "I'm afraid we're back at ground zero, and the potential for cutting the University goes up tremendously " Proposition 55, an initiative on the upcoming March ballot that could "get California out of the hole," will be paid back over 7 to 8 years, and will give $12.2 billion to public schools, community colleges, as well as the CSU and UC systems for new building construction, with the CSU share being approximately $770 million, explained Chancellor Reed. The Chancellor expressed hope that students would support Prop. 55, urging them that, "It is very important that all of our students know how important this is." In a last agenda item apart from, but closely related to the budget, Chancellor Reed emphasized the need to publicize information concerning Cal Grant programs. "California is fortunate that we have a very good financial aid program. Many of our students qualify for Cal Grants, but many of our students don't know the deadline to apply." He compelled students to acquire Cal Grant forms at the Financial Aid Office, to have them completed and post-marked before the March 2 deadline. "Tens of thousands of our students are eligible for Cal Grants," he stated, who will miss their opportunity if the deadline expires.

By TOR FREED Pride StaffWriter It seems the red planet is much more familiar and probably a whole lot more exciting than democratic candidates facing each other to see who will get the nomination and the arduous task of facing George Bush in the upcoming presidential elections. For those who missed it, Howard Dean has been the democratic front-runner on his anti-war, anti-Bush campaign but his angry tirades have left many democrats doubting his ability to lead the country. This became apparent when presidential hopeful John Kerry won the caucas in Iowa and New Hampshire despite endorsements for Dean by former vice-president A1 Gore and other influential democrats. Even more amazing is that Kerry's political campaign was close to having the last nail in the coffin before this stunning turnaround. This is hugely important for democrats because Kerry, former Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient, has a chance against Bush and those wanting a strong military. Vbters on the fence cannot overlook this. The Pride ventured out among the students to see what they felt about this new turn of events. Gary Taylor, senior and former veteran seemed like a good start. Taylor is president of the CSUSM veterans association and describes himself as a former 'train fighter' after falling into a train in Bosnia that rendered his left arm disabled and missing part of his left leg. An ambitious man taking eighteen units and continuing on to law school, Taylor was bound to have an opinion about the latest events. "I haven't had time to pay attention because I carry eighteen units," said Taylor. "I was leaning towards Wesley Clark until he compared Bush with a two-bit dictator, not very professional for a general." Taylor doubts very seriously if he will consider voting for a democrat. Melissa Thompson, senior, has not been paying close attention. She was busy doing some sort of advanced math when The Pride posed the question. Thompson said, "Howard Dean's rampage strengthens Bush's chances for re-election." A trip to the T.K.E. pledge stand might have been a bad idea considering that when I asked about the democratic turn of events the response was, "Dude, I 've been sleeping all day, why don't you ask one of those guys?" I asked one of those guys, and he said he had no clue and what was going on with that. Amy Weaver, junior^ said she understood the implications, and if a democratic hopeful could inject some much needed money into the education system. Photo by Tor Freed/The Pride G ary Taylor "No, I was not aware (of Kerry's win) of that," Weaver said. "I try not to watch the news, the local news. I try to watch C.N.N but I haven't had time since school started." When asked if a democratic president could help the budget crisis looming at CSU universities Weaver said, "I think the democrats and the republicans agree on a lot of the same things. The platform issues. And unfortunately, education is going to suffer. Even Bush is for education, his wife is a teacher." Ashley Stuart, sophomore, was the only person I interviewed who knew about Kerry's win, but she was not happy with the process. "What really drives me crazy is all the finger pointing. (Candidates) don't really seem to care about people," said Stuart. "And the ads, they drive me crazy too, it's all Hollywood." Stuart also said that neither party is going to help reverse the downward trend in spending on education. "I really don't see any big change with regards to party." "I don't pay attention to that stuff until they're here in California," said junior, Stephanie Allen. "I won't know everything, but I 'll know a little."

Dance program global and growing By LAURA WHITAKER Pride Staff Writer Professor Karen Schaffman brings not only what she calls her post-modern approach to dance to the campus, but a very global awareness of dance. Much to my surprise (and delight) there is more going on in the CSUSM Dance Program than I thought. A small but strong division of the Visual and Performing Arts Department, the Dance Program was originally taught off-campus at the Escondido Center for The Arts by adjunct faculty. In the last few years, however, Professor Schaffman arrived, bringing the classes on campus, and giving the program a whole new spin. Schaffman teaches several classes, including Global Modern Dance, which focuses on world dance forms. "The dance program is very interdisciplinary right now," Schaffman said. " I'm very interested in mixing dance with video and sampled music." She also facilitates a modern dance class in contemporary technique, and a choreography workshop which run back to back on Monday and Wednesday for those interested in movement classes. In addition to this, there is a new Dance 10Í class based on dance appreciation, and a class that crosses with women's studies called Women in Performance Choreography. In fact, there are some new classes in the works, including a history of modern and postmodern dance, and a course on dance and new media. Schaffinan is currently working collaboratively with Kristine Diekman, Tony Allard, and William Bradbury on such multimedia based endeavors. In the past few years, the dance program has hosted numerous performances and artist residencies for companies such as Urban Bush Women, Korean National University of the Arts, as well as African, Filipino, and local performance styles. In regard to campus-wide dance activities go, Laurence Bolotin, the ASI coordinator of student programs and services, has helped put together free fitness and leisure courses in the Clarke Field House. Among these are included a Belly Dancing and an African Dance class. ASI is also forming a iiip-hop group called Jam Control. As far as the future of the dance program, "It looks to expanding dance by bringing it into other disciplines," said Schaffinan. This fall there will even be a minor in dance available for interested students. "The future for dance at San Marcos is growing," Schaffinan said.

Photo by Sarah CsatinJThe Pride B y L ORIANN S AMANO Pride Staff Writer Now that Cal State University San Marcos has this big beautiful brand new library, you could be wondering why the building is named after a cereal company. Well it's true. William Keith Kellogg II, who grew up learning the family business in a cereal factory, and Janet "Jean" Kellogg, both are who our library is named after. William Keith Kellogg II learned the family business from his grandfather Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan. Now, William Keith and Janet "Jean" Kellogg are well known for their long history of philanthropy with many institutions. Senior Kellogg started the W. K. Kellogg Foundation in the 1930's. He donated a major portion of his fortune, including donating his 800-acre ranch in Pomona, his herd of registered Arabian horses and $600,000 to the University of California; which would establish the ranch site for Cal Poly Pomona. The naming processes of CSU buildings works, in that, the names are approved by the Cal State University Board of Trustees upon the recommendation of the campus. The trustees consider the donor and her pr his background, the donor's history or relationship with the campus and the amount of the donation. The amount must be substantial and in relation the Kellogg's have asked to keep it private. We can tell you that the donation was in the seven figures range. The Kellogg's have been long time supporters of CSUSM since 1997. One of their first gifts to the CSUSM campus helped complete preliminary planning so that the library project was moved up on the CSU priority list, and resulted in the building being completed several years before the original planned date. The Kellogg's did not just give their money but encouraged others to donate as well. This strategy is used in a manner that when, for example, $1 is given, the match doubles the gift to $2.

We want our people looked after; we want a health state. OfrC tz> E e A S o M Even during these times, California is not in such a state of shock that we can't support our Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP). Gov. Schwarzenegger proposes to do so next semester. When the Governor revoked $23.7 from the CSU last semester he started a chain reaction. The latest is that Schwarzenegger illegally repealed the triple car tax last year. He replaced that fee by decreasing support to UC and CSU schools. Basically he's kicking the ladder out from those who depend on it. A group of college students, namely in the UC system, is suing the Governor. They found a law saying the tax can only be lowered if there is enough money in the California's fund to cover existing programs, like Cal State's EOP. Cindy Gutierrez, a student enrolled in EOP, said she could have gone to college without the outreach, but it's hard to say. She started in AVID while younger, and then got into college programs. One point she made clear though — not all students at CSUSM would be here now without the outreach programs. EOP helps those students stay in v school when they get here. Some in the nation say that the EOP and outreach programs are a waste of money — taxpayer money. The Citizens Against Gov- $110 million for the next year-and-a-half. California's budget is obviously an issue. But in a state where the median home costs $430,000 dollars, why can't Californians give the $110 million to support the EOP and outreach programs in both the CSU and the UC systems. They can, and that's the burden of EOP. The Starbucks invasion I By CLAUDESAYF Pride StaffWriter MAR*»!? Christina Sanchez-Weston Partying or studying ever cause you pain when trying to wake up after a long night of doing either? Weli one well known way of surviving long lecture classes is some coffee. Whether you like just plain old coffee with crème and sugar from 7-11 or a double whipped, fat free, extra hot, grande, carmel mocciatto from Starbucks , a coffee shop is a wonderful sight to your tired eyes. But if you ask me enough is enough. You can now find a Starbucks on every street corner in every major city in the United States. I also heard through the grape STUDENT BIER NUTS ernment Waste issued a report stating that the outreach and EOP programs are higher education marketing ploys that have no purpose. What they're not mentioning is the market that higher education is soliciting to. That's the point — reaching students that normally wouldn't make it into college.

Starbucks has invaded the United States faster than Juan Valdez can say no bueno. And now we've allowed it to invade our campus. Their overpriced coffee is about to put the little refreshment cart in front of Academic Hall out of business — the epitome of the corporate giant swallowing up the little mom and pop stores. But it seems the trend is here to say. Starbucks seems to be a very profitable company to invest in. How do I know? Well maybe the fact that not only is there one on campus but there is another one about a quarter mile down the road in the Ralph's shopping center tells me. I also know of a few other spots in San Diego where Starbucks shops are within a quarter mile of each other. How much more trendy can it get? It will be scary when property values go up due to a Starbucks being built in a neighborhood. But at the rate Starbucks is going, I wouldn't totally dismiss the idea. Starbucks is a billion dollar company and I don't think the removal of the one on campus will break the company. I do know that it would probably save the livelihood of the person who owns the little cart in front of Academic Hall if we remove the Starbucks. It would help us students a lot more to put a store like a Costco for books. Cheaper books store not overpriced coffee. �CSUSM Calendar ByMKHAELDOLAN Pride Ombudsman Feb 3-10 Last week's edition of The Pride was g ood However, I fear that the goodness o f that issue might have been missed since I still have not received any. feedback this semester. Not one word of praise or the more popular criticism of The Pride, that is often astute and helpful, has come my way in the first couple of weeks» I am adamant about wanting reader feedback since that is what the ombudsman is here to manage: the focus of my column is to facilitate your thoughts into constructive improvements of both the quality and the content of The Pride. I know there are many of you out there who have strong opinions about The Pride. If you need some ideas for responses, I could think of a couple of prompts. One question I think should be asked of The Pride is why is it that The Pride has not conducted an interview with our university's new president, Karen Haynes, yet this semester? A new president greatly affects our campus and the absence of an interview with her in the first two issues is enough to spatk some criticism, I think. I feel Chancellor Reed's article about the proposed budget for the CSU and the consequences of that budget is enough to spark some inquiries as well. The impending budget cuts stand to reduce the availability of classes and increase fees into the future. H ie Pride will be covering stories concerning the budget calamity throughout the semester. Let me know if there is a particular aspect of program being cut or an inconvenience that needs to be addressed and it will be considered.

A San Marcos native, co-owner Jason Simmons wants the Blvd to be a versatile establishment where the entire community can feel at home. "We kind of look at this place as San Marcos's palate, and let the customers and the clientele and the community paint the picture." In shaping a place which appeals to all facets of the community, the owners have kept the college students in mind. The Blvd brings an urban, beach-style atmosphere to inland San Marcos, giving local college students a fresh, modern venue to call their own. The spacious, newly finished dining room with a large stage and dance floor, offers sleek, black booths and a full bar. The walls, Photo by Melissa Rodriguez/77re Pride Bartenders Troy Payton, Aaron Mock (above left) and Shawn Cameron (above) show off their skills behind the bar. although freshly painted, have an aged, Spanish look about them. There is also a ten foot projection screen. The Blvd's outdoor patio area takes inspiration from the beach, with its two lava rock fire pits and a glass waterfall that lights up at night. There is an outside bar as well. There is also a room known as the "Dragon Lounge," because it used to be a Chinese restaurant. Offsetfromthe main dining room, the Dragon Lounge is smaller with a full bar, plasma screen TVs, red light fixtures, and carved doors. Realizing the diversity within the college community itself, the Blvd will offer a variety of options for students. "Most of the college students in this area have very limited choices," Simmons states, "so we're trying to provide as many choices as possible within our own venue." The Blvd will feature different music throughout the week including punk rock, reggae, hip hop, jazz, and acoustic bands. The menu is reasonably priced and provides variety as well, with an extensive selection of appetizers— ranging from corn dogs to coconut shrimp—salads, pastas, and half pound burgers. Simmons adds that initial conversations between the Blvd and CSUSM have begun, hoping to create a community between the Blvd and the college. Sometime in the spring, he wishes to host festivals in the dorm's quad. Simmons has also initiated discussion with the art department on campus. The Blvd was fully opened for business Saturday, January '31, and Simmons looks forward to seeing how the community will respond to the Blvd in the weeks to come. "We don't know exactly what we're going to end up with in three months or three years, or whatever it is, but the market and community will kind of dictate to us what they want to see happening here." Simmons and the other owners hope to eventually expand the Blvd to San Diego and Orange County. 'A date w9ith Tad Hamilton a tad bit predictable By ZELYNDA SMITH Pride StaffWriter If you haven't already seen "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton," but you've seen other teen aged romantic comedies, you can pretty much understand the concept of this one. Topher Grace, from the hit T.V. series "That 70's Show," plays Pete, a focused and warmhearted supermarket manager in Frasier's Bottom, West Virginia. He suffers from a childhood crush on his co-worker Rosalie (Kate Bosworth) that eventually evolved into much more. Over the years the two remain the best of friends. But when she wins a date with her dream guy, Hollywood heart-throb, Tad Hamilton (Josh Duhamel), things get a bit more interesting. Blinded by his Hollywood image Rosalie fails to see Tad's true colors. Tad becomes convinced that she has more to offer then the big-shot models that he's used to dating. She proves that she can be just as captivating without sacrificing her morals and for the first time Hollywood's leading man falls in love. Meanwhile, Tad and Pete continuously compete for her affection and the question that the movie proposes is inevitably: Do nice guys really finish last? Although the movies plot line was cliché, the writing wasn't terrible. At times I really felt Rosalie's happiness as well as her indecision. Photo courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures Topher Grace and Kate Bosworth play small town grocery store employees that are star struck when a famous actor played by Josh Duhamel c omes to town. Unfortunately there were times when the movie tended to be all too predictable. I caught my mind wandering out of the story and wondering why Rosalie's eyes were two different colors (I'm almost positive that Director, Robert Luketic, didn't want his audience to focus on that), so a twist in the story would have been welcome. The soundtrack was a big help to my enjoyment of this film. It was upbeat and sassy. From Barry White to Jewel, this soundtrack won the movie some major points. Overall, "Win A Date With Tad Hamilton" helps jolt the memory of that first love and all the essential steps that it took to get it. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to the Assistant Director for Residence Life Angela Grundy, the UVA is required by law to meet a standard 50 percent recycling rate. That is, at least half of the waste from the University Village Apartments must be recycled. If this standard is not met, the UVA could be fined up to $10,000. Prior to Jan. 20, 2004 there were no recycling bins in the apartments as there are now. Residents had to lug their recyclables to the dumpster on their own, without any bins to remind them to do so. This led to some students dumping their recyclables in with the rest of their trash. This was most likely the reason the UVA did not meet their last standard requirement and decided to place See UVA RECYCLING, page 2 Inside Propositions 55,51 & 58 Primary Elections coming up in March...

The recycling program at University Village Apartments works like this: each apartment has one recycling bin. The trash is collected once a week from the UVA, along with which students are responsible to empty their recycling bin. Where the residents empty their trash there is also a place to empty their recyclables, should they choose to. Carly Riley, a* freshman at CSUSM, was asked if she recycled. "Sometimes, depending on when I think about it," Riley said. "Glass, cardboard or big boxes definitely." She also said that they did not have the recycling bins in the apartments before this semester, only bins by the dumpster, so they just threw all their trash and recyclables together. MONEY from page 1 to complete the form because they haven't completed 2003's income taxes. Well Cynthia Silman who is a financial aid advisor said, "You don't have to complete 2003's income taxes to complete the 2004-2005 FAFSA form." Silman added that students could just estimate their income. So sound the horns because free money is possibly just a couple of pages or a couple of clicks away. And while at the Financial Aid Office, students can also check out how easy it is to get scholarships.

If approved on election day in March, Proposition 55 would allocate $2.3 billion to be used to fund major construction and renovation throughout California's higher educational system. California is experiencing rapid growth as a state, forcing administrators to find ways to accommodate such quick growth. Pressing enrollment growth over the past decade has made it vital to fix old and outdated classrooms, enlarge facilities, and construct new classrooms to meet existing student needs at CSU campuses—as well as California Community Colleges and UC campuses. There is seldom an adequate amount of dollars in the state budget to fund large expansions of the higher education system such as this. School construction is a direct investment in the local economy. Studies show Proposition 55 will produce hundreds of thousands of new jobs and add billions in local economic activities all over California. Funds can only be spent to revamp or construct schools, not on administration. Opposition to Propostion 55 states that Calfornia is already in debt and should not take more on. The bond requires that schools provide 40 percent of the total cost so schools without the funds will miss out. Also, Los Angeles, a city with 12 percent of California's students, would receive 25 percent of the money. —»•inHmii Over the past three years, California state spending has significantly exceeded tax revenues. Proposition 57, the "Economic Recovery Bond Act," to be proposed to voters on the March 2 ballot, initiates a $15 billion bond in order to pay off the state's accumulated general fund deficit as of June 30, 2004. The measure will only pass if voters also approve Proposition 58, the "California Balanced Budget Act." The recovery bond is designed to prevent drastic cuts from education and health care programs, as well as potential dramatic tax increases otherwise likely to cover the current debt. Proponents note that in addition to heading off budget shortages, the bond will consolidate much of the state's debt into one lump sum. Those in opposition to the bond claim that it will cost more than $2,000 per family, and instead suggest that the legislature should be called upon to reign in spending they see as out of control. _ Ultimately funded by the people of California, "The repayment of the bond would result in annual General fund costs equivalent to one-quarter percent of California's sales tax revenues," said the Secretary of State's Legislative Analyst. It would take between 9 and 14 years to pay back the bond. Essentially, this proposition gives the state government a one-shot, large sum of money to be used now, in order to reduce the immediate budget deficit, as opposed to collecting it gradually over time, via annual taxation. By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter h i i ii M i n i m i Gov. Schwarzenegger called Proposition 58 "the never-again spending limit." If only it were that simple. Titled "The California Balanced Budget Act," Proposition 58 includes an arsenal of provisions aimed at achieving a higher level of fiscal responsibility in Sacramento. Proposition 58 would amend California's constitution with changes that would not be subtle. While the governor is currently only required to propose a balanced Budget, Proposition 58 would force him or her to propose and enact a balanced budget. Another budget-related provision under Proposition 58 compels the legislature and governor to act swiftly in times offiscalemergency. Under such circumstances the legislature would have 45 days to complete a bill concerning the emergency. If the deadline were to pass without a bill, work on all other bills would be suspended until the emergency bill was completed and presented to the governor. Appealing to those who own piggy-banks, Proposition 58 would establish the Budget Stabilization Account. Money transfers would be ordered from the state's general fund into the new account until a certain balance is met. Much of the money in this new account would then be devoted to deficit payments. Proposition 58 would also prohibit the state from engaging in long-term borrowing arrangements. The proposition's opponents see this component as being rather useless in that it preserves the short-term borrowing arrangements they feel are troublesome..

Dick. Weiner. Johnson. There are thousands of different names we can call a man's genitalia; and according to the recent wave of Internet advertisements, there are thousands of ways to add on inches. These days, you can be sure that before hearing the words "you've got mail," various pop-ups for penis enlargement remedies on the computer screen appear. That is because there are over 18,000 products on the market catering to guys that want a bigger and better package. These products range from the $20 penis pump to the $300 bottle of Virility (one of many "all-natural" male enhancing supplements). To add to the list, there are also penis weights for those interested in the stretching technique and penis muscle exercisers for those guys who work out. For the man looking to increase the beast, these ads seem convenient; however, usage of any of these products may leave him unfulfilled and broke. Dr. Steven Bates of student health services, said that many of the products related to the penis enlargement propaganda have not been medically accepted nor FDA approved. The products claiming to be "all-natural" supplements borrow a mixture of herbs with various functions (Ginseng for stamina, Yohimbe for weight-loss, etc). These companies then stuff the list of herbs into a capsule and tell the consumer that his penis will grow about 30 percent within three to six months. Most of these supplements, however, will give the consumer a 90 day guarantee or refund Photo by Sarah Carlin¡The Pride Penetrating e-mail accounts nationwide, male member enhancement advertisements may leave consumers a little less than satisfied. your money. In other words, by the time he realizes that his penis has not grown an inch, the guarantee has expired, and the company keeps the money. Besides the fact that this market lacks a promising warranty, an herb can react in an individual's body very negatively, especially when mixed with other herbs. "Herbs can be the cause of hypertension, fatigue, and G.I. (gastrointestinal) problems —- like diarrhea (side effects) can be present when mixed with one's metabolism," Bates said. Results vary from person to person. The only certain way to add on inches to a penis is through surgery. That would only be recommended for specific cases, cases that are not cosmetic, but reconstructive. But even surgery is risky, Bates said So what makes us, as a society, so fascinated with size? Sex sells. Media definitely plays an important roll with movies like "Austin Powers," which jokes about a penis pump, and associates Austin Powers as being a huge ladies man. We can also give credit to the adultfilmindustry with all of the publicity that Ron Jeremy gets for his gigantic moneymaker. Sarah Wymer, sophomore, said that unfortunately, yes, size does matter. "Our society's obsession with size probably stems from women who are always supposed to be small with big boobs," Wymer said. "Men are depicted as being big, with a big penis." Wymer said she does not think products on the market are credible according to their advertisements. She said, "I think they are just gimmicks sold to poor guys with low self-esteem." Junior Jason Nichols said, "Bigger is relative to cold weather," and that bigger does not necessarily mean better, especially if the previous guy was bigger. Nichols said, "If you want bigger equipment, lose the beer belly." If you do decide to take the bait on these enhancement ads or even surgery, investigate the risk factors and know your motives. The American Urological Association and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery have surgical remedies for amputated penises, penises damaged by car accidents, animal bites, birth defects and other serious cases. They do have policy statements against cos metic procedures. For more information on this topic or topics on sexual responsibility please visit Student Health Services. Faculty from Student Health Services will be in Founders Plaza to promote sexual responsibility Tuesday, Feb. 10, and Wednesday, Feb. 11, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. They will be selling condom roses and passing out safe sex pamphlets. Looking for romance in cyberspace may not be that weird By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer As February 14 approaches, many single students are probably wondering just whose going to be their Valentine. Some are even turning to alternative methods, such as online dating, to find that special someone. To some, the thought of dating someone met online may send shivers down the spine. Perhaps questions like how could I go on a date with someone I've never met? And what if they're lying about who they really are? might course through your head. Perhaps pictures of some scary psycho murderer hunched over a keyboard goflashingthrough your mind. Or as freshman Kaylan Bland said, "That's creepy." Others mayfindonline dating unnatural. They may miss that spark when eyes connect for the first time; the initial meeting leaving your head spinning for days. "When you meet someone it should just happen," said Elise Battaglia, sophomore.

After making a new e-mail address on Yahoo just to be safe, I signed on to www.match.com. There is no charge to browse through other people's profiles and make one of your own. I searched for guys within 50 miles of San Marcos between 21 and 28 years old. I ended up with 50 pages of pictures and profiles to sort through. Though the first couple pages were nothing special, I quickly found one guy whose picture made my jaw drop. After yelling at my roommate to come stare at the Abercrombie model wannabe, I decided to read his profile. It just so happened that we have a ton in common, so I put him on my favorites list and continued to search. While skimming through the pages there were no scary creepy people to be found. With only 20 pages down, I decided to call off my search with 5 potential guys on my favorites list. The next step is writing to them, which I'm still too weirded out to do.

The ASI/CSUSM surf team has consistently made great performances in the National Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) events. The season included two stops in Ventura (street pipes) Oct. 26 and Dec. 21, as well as an event at Black's Beach in San Diego Nov. 22. Thefinalevent of the regular season took place Jan. 19. at one of the great surfing spots in Southern California, Huntington Pier (south side). The Dream Team qualified for the state championships with an overall season ranking of ninth. "The Dream Team has a shoe in to qualify for nationals," said Surf Team Faculty Advisor Dr. Amber Puha. To make it to nationals, the Dream Team needs to place in the top 12 at state. In itsfirstyear, the secondary Cream Team also landed a place in the state championships. Cream Team member Conrad Scouton scored third place in the men's division, and Analia Carlsson, had a usually consistent performance. She is ranked sixth in the college women's division with 1530 points. Vital contributions from other Cream Team members like Alex By JOSH SANDOVAL Pride StaffWriter Photo Courtesy of Conrad Scouton Conrad Scouton turns on the crest of a wave in Los Angeles County. The ASI/CSUSM surf t eam qualified for a spot in this year's state championship competition. Brust and Chris Parrinello also helped the team qualify. The Cream Team took seventeenth place in the rakings with 1748 points qualifying them for a shot at the title. "I hope they can have a strong showing,," Puha said. She added that coming from a strong performance at the last event in Huntington Beach, the momentum might just carry over to the state championships in March. She also said that the talent that these kids have hasn't been seen at it's full potential yet. The student body of the CSUSM campus has something to be proud of in these two teams. These guys and gals are a force to be reckoned with after posting their bestfinishesof the year. The road to having a Surf Team at CSUSM is a very hard one. It takes a tremendous amount of work both by students who are on the surf team and advisor Puha who devotes both time and effort. The leadership on the team is outstanding and they are a great group, Dr. Puha said. Alumni, ASI, as well as Hansen Boardroom all contribute funding to keep the team going, but the rest of the funds Photo courtesy of Cougar Softball Cougar's Softball is 2 -2 and preparing for a tournament, where the women will compete nationally. Many of t he girls who had joined t he t eam had been on hiatus f rom the sport. By BRETT DAVIS Pride StaffWriter CSUSM expanded its list of club teams last November when the Women's Softball Team formed itself and began pre-season workouts. They practiced rigorously for nearly two months and opened up their inaugural season with a 15-2 lopsided win over Mt. San Jacinto College Jan. 12. A blowout win against intercollegiate competition is a great achievement for any club team, and proved to be the ideal way to open up the season. The next two outings weren't quite as glorious as the first; the team dropped both games of a double-header against International Hope of Faith. The losing streak didn't last long though, and was snapped in the very next game against Orange Coast College with a close 6-4 triumph. The Women's Softball team now finds themselves at .500 with a 2-2 record. "Not bad considering half of the squad hadn't played in nearly 5 years," said Head Coach Fermin Cardoza Sr. Cardoza has been coaching girl's softball for the last 15 years through Vista Girls Softball and needed for liability insurance, entry fees, and other costs have to come from fund raising by students. One idea is to host a "surf flick" night at the Clarke field house. By paying a small fee, students can come and help the surf team reach their goal of $700 to cover the state championship fees. People interested in helping can contact Laurence Bolotin, director of Student Programs. Expect great things in the future with the ASI/CSUSM Surf Team, because as the campus grows so will this popular program. Inaugural season for sofibaH is off to an even start Travel Ball, and hopes to end the Cougar's inaugural season with a winning record. The team is looking forward to the National Softball club team tournament at the end of April. Catcher Alison Sansbury said she is looking forward to the tournament. "We are a young Cougar dynasty and this tournament will pit us against other club teams and will show just exactly how good we are," she said. Cardoza said, "Definitely, they have come a long way since we first started practicing, "It's like night and day," he said. With spring on the horizon, America's favorite pastime is almost upon us, which means the second season of Cougar baseball will be getting under way. CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports (Cross country, Track and Field, and Golf), but those are not the only sports available to students. 2003 was the inaugural season for Cougar baseball, which was a successful season by all standards for a first year team. There will be six returning players from last years squad, including one sophomore, one junior, and four seniors. Head Coach JJ Koon said, "We are very excited about the upcoming season. We are building off a .429 winning percentage, with a record of §ix wins and eight losses." Last season the Cougars participated in very high scoring games. The Cougars had the second best scoring offense, and allowed the third fewest runs out of six teams in the Metal Bat Division. In the first game, of a 14 game season, they blew out the San Diego Black Sox with a 17-2 victory. The Cougars continued to put up big scores on their opponents all throughout the year; the team averaged 10 runs per game in the final six games, while finishing strong, winning four out of those six contests. The Cougars scored seven runs or more on seven different occasions throughout the year. The teamfinishedthe season tied for third place in their division, and this year the returning players expect only to improve upon last year's success. The Cougars play games Sundays on Varsity Fields at various North County High School locations. The team is part of the North County section of the Men's Adult Baseball League (MABL). The North County section contains several independent baseball teams from other universities like San Diego State, and other independent teams in the greater San Diego area. The Cougars are looking for athletic men tofillout the roster, which is currently voided by the eight seniors who were on the team last season. Try-outs will be held on February 21, at 1:30pm, on the campus of Mira Costa Community College in Oceanside. There will also be a team meeting that anyone is welcome to attend. The team meeting is tentatively scheduled for the second week of February in the Founders Plaza.

The top answers given were: kindness, warmth, attentiveness, commitment, sense of humor, and shared values. Out of all the various answers in the survey there was not one woman who said they want a huge penis. Maxim magazine is not a scientific medical journal; however, they are correct in informing men that the size of a man's package is of no consideration to women. So if size doesn't matter, why are there approximately 18,000 penis enlarging products on the "So, ifsize doesn't matter; why are there approximately 18,000penis enlargement products on the market?" market? Are our precious members shrinking? Oris this just a case of marketing genius? Any person with internet access or e-mail can attest to the surgence of pop-ups and spam ads, not to mention the late-night commercials for these products that have been working hard to create an epidemic of small penises in the United States. Self diagnosed "below BEER NUTS B y: C had S pinks ——vCARMN CHECK ÙUT 10 mmm YOU C ÂNV ^ in average" men now have a wide range of products from lotions and potions to suction gadgets. My personal favorite has to be Mindquest's Penis Enhancement Program, 12-weeks of hypnotherapy on CD for an unbelievable $295. Wow, now you can think yourself longer. According to an interview with Steven N. Grange, MD on WebMD.com, Grange said, "Men in general did not have a distorted view of what's a normal penis size until a study published in Sept. 1996 Journal of Urology concluded that the average flaccid penile length was 3.5 inches, and average erect length was 5 inches." It is as if the marketing and advertising industry has just been waiting for this information to create a complex in the male psyche just like it has been doing to women for decades. If you are a women, you know you are bombarded everywhere you look with images of the so-called "perfect shape." Fashion, cosmetic, and diet industries make billions of dollars each year off the insecurities they have created in women. Now it seems they have the perfect recipe to do the same thing to men. Tell men that they don't measure up if they can't stretch out to a hefty 10 inches on a ruler; get a sexy women to say how pleasurable a big penis is, and then offer a must-have remedy. Whether you are a man or woman, you can decide for yourself whether you think it is right, or even about time, that men are now being targeted by this type of marketing that feeds off the insecurities it creates in society. vm way m?

L ETTERS T O T HE E DITOR The opening of Kellogg Library this semester has created a sense of excitement among CSUSM faculty and students alike. In fact, I have been so excited about the opening of the new library that whenever I am in the building I experience frequent urination. Thefirsttime this sense of urgency hit me, I was thrilled to check out the new bathroom facilities in the library. To my dismay, I found the experience to be less than mediocre. I have visited three bathrooms in the new library, one on the firstfloor,two on the second. These bathrooms all have doors that do not properly latch—-and when I have to go I don't have time to fumble with door locks. Consequently, I have been forced to relieve myself in front of classmates. To make matters worse, often times these bathrooms lack seat covers and toilet paper, too. So not only am I the girl who pees with the door open, I'm the girl who doesn't use seat covers or toilet paper. I usually make afinalsanitary attempt before I leave the library restrooms, but as I pump the dispenser for soap I don't even get a bubble, and when I go to dry my hands, the paper towel dispensers are jammed. The other day, on the way to the bathroom I was really down in the dumps. I felt like things just couldn't get worse. And then I found a friend. Inside the first floor bathroom in the new library I met Karen, a quiet girl, head in hands, sobbing on the ground next to the sink. Scooping away days of trash and paper towels, I leaned down next to her and asked what was wrong. Karen told me she was having a feminine emergency and ran to both bathrooms on the second floor of the library and, in a third final attempt, tried thefirstfloor bathroom for a vending machine to buy a product. Karen found nothing of the sort. You can find Karen in this same spot, because she vowed to me she wouldn't leave the bathroom until someone recognizes the importance of such machines and installs one. On a more serious note: I don't understand why these brand new bathrooms, in a state of the art library, have dysfunctional door latches and paper towel dispensers. Out of the three women's restrooms I have visited, not one has a feminine product vending machine, either. I find a more serious problem lies in the fact that these un-stocked restrooms are not cleaned on a daily or even bi-daily schedule, forcing us to use stained toilets while we stare at dirty pieces of trash on thefloorthat we first noticed days ago. The library is a new, beautiful facility—and students should be just as overjoyed to use the restrooms as they are to sip a Frappuccino from Starbuck's or receive a free Kellogg spill-proof mug.

To Student Advocates here at CSUSM: Our governor has recently proposed budget cuts which will directly target the Student Support Services and Educational Opportunity Program (SSS and EOP) in the Cal State system. These programs provide much needed support for low-income, first generation students through a wide variety of services while focusing on academic success, student perseverance and retention rates. EOP gives support to students who need all the assistance they can get. These programs are the key to promoting educational equality and access to higher education, essential issues the CSU system adamantly claims to protect. As a team teacher for the WMST 101 class for many of the first year EOP students on this campus, I work directly with these underrepresented students. Asfirstgeneration college students, those involved in EOP often face obstacles that often include economic hardship, cultural and language barriers, and lack of support both in the home and at the university. Cutting the EOP program would be detrimental not only to those students who rely on the program to receive the education which they deserve, but also for the overall atmosphere of the CSUSM community as a whole, which prides itself on its diversity. As a student advocate dedicated to the preservation of educational quality and access, I am outraged. Outraged at'our governor's lack of concern for students who desperately need support services. Outraged that his budget cuts hit to the heart of the higher education . system. Outraged that he seeks to disenfranchise those whom have worked so hard to get where they are. Outraged that there are not enough of our voices being heard I support the CSSA resolution which protests these actions. I encourage all of us to remain steadfast in our dedication to petitioning to stop the elimination of the CSU Outreach and EOP programs. Please flood the governor's office with letters in protest. Call Sacramento and tell him how we feel. We must continue thefightfor student rights and never give in- or give up.

A troop of steppers from El Camino high school, who had attended the show as guests, their gratitude by cheering riotously and giving the girls a standing ovation. "Rhythmic stomping to demonstrate unity, talent, and organizational pride," said Dilcie D. Perez, associate director of multicultural programs and community outreach. That is precisely what the step show was all about. The stomping and clapping which made up the dance created an infectious rhythm which accompanied by the dancer's frequent shouts and cheers, such as "deep in Alabama" and "unity" had a very musical feel. Observers became participants and everyone displayed a high level of enthusiasm and support with their laughter, applause and cheers. At the conclusion of the event, Perez reminded students that change starts on a small scale. It begins with the student voice. The unique exhibition of stomping tied together with the crowd's involvement achieved an important goal for Black History month: that of unity.

Photo courtesy of 20th Century Fox By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride StaffWriter Twentieth Century Fox's upcoming movie "The Girl Next Door," directed by Luke Greenfield, had the theater echoing with laughter at a recent press screening. The movie debuts March 12 as one of the few romantic comedies that I wouldn't classify as a chick flick. Guys can expect to see plenty of eye candy which you would expect from a movie about a high school kid dating a porn star. A senior at Westport High School, Matthew, played by Emile Hirsch, dreams of becoming a politician, and the most exciting thing in his life is his acceptance to Georgetown University. That is until he falls for the new girl next door, Danielle, played by Elisha Cuthbert. She is gorgeous, she is fun and she brings out his adventurous side. She also happens to be a former porn star. Mathew has plans for a whirlwind of a week which includes senior prom, a scholarship competition and the arrival of an exchange student. Unfortunately, all these events are put on hold when Danielle's former director comes to take her back to the industry. Their days are filled with random misadventures as Matjhew realizes he's so in love that he would do anything to keep Danielle and get her out of the business, even steal. Although the characters in this film are your typical teen movie clichés, the popular crowd, the nerds and the in-betweens the plot was surprisingly unfamiliar. If you want a feel good, goof-off movie to go hit up with all your friends I would definitely recommend that you see this film. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pride Correction : r egarding C al G rants ASI request for registration boxes denied By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman By MICHELLE VELARDE Pride StaffWriter The article "Cal Grants offered until March 2 " requires clarification. First off, Cynthia Silman was misquoted in the article in regards to the information about completing income taxes before completing the FAFSA form. The quote should read 'You don't have to complete 2003's income taxes prior to completing the 2004-2005 FAFSA form," meaning that the FAFSA can be completed before taxes, but taxes still must be prepared: the FAFSA form is not a substitute for a tax return. Silman would also like to emphasize that the process is not necessarily simple. The most important factor in determining Cal Grant ligibility is the completion of the FAFSA form. Once the FAFSA is ompleted, Cal Grant eligibility is checked automatically. The deadline is March 2 to complete the FAFSA so that Cal Grant eligibility can be checked. The best option for completing the FAFSA is online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. If an individual's income taxes tiave not been completed, those numbers can be estimated and corrected later. An Associated Students, Inc. proposal, had it been approved, would have made voter registration available in classrooms on campus. However, ASI was unable to initiate this program in time for this election cycle. The purpose of ASI's "Student Voter Registration Innovation 2004" was to encourage CSUSM students to vote. The TAX INCLUDED V OL.XI N O.18 proposal outlined a program in which voter registration card holders would have been placed in every classroom in Academic Hall. The idea was that if CSUSM students saw registration forms every time they went to class, they would be more likely to register to vote, said Erik Roper, ASI Vice President of External Affairs, who also drafted the proposal. "Realizing that we in the CSU have an obligation to provide every opportunity for our students to be responsible citizens in our democracy," the proposal says, "it seems only logical to use whatever legal means are at our disposal to See REGISTRATION, page 2 Lobby Corps to host clean money workshop By TOM PFENGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Photo by Sarah Carlin/The Pride Artist Chris Earnhart tatoos a black cross on the back of Mira Costa College student Heather Curtis, Feb. 14, at About Face Tatoo in Oceanside.

CSUSM's southern part of campus is surrounded by luxury apartment homes and several new housing tracks. The homes that sit on the hill overlooking campus are all still under construction and will continue to expand until approximately May of2005. Construction near CSUSM is expected to continue for the next few years. Last week, a worker sprayed down the excess dust to keep the air clean at a development site. i Photo by Zelynda Smith/The Pride The first track to finish building will be 'Campana and Savona at Rancho Coronado'. This housing track is built by Continental Homes of D.R. Horton company, a well-known name in North County housing developments. Although the first phase of this development is already completed and the majority of the existing houses are sold and occupied, another 200-plus homes will be added. Production will leave Rancho Coronado's development with 6 phases and over 600 new homes dedicated to stylish living. Rancho Coronado representative Nancy Whitton made it apparent last week that Continental Homes bought out this particular area because of the population that the university will eventually help blossom. "This area has a real potential for growth," Whitton said. "Universities ensure a city's reputation." This local development offers 13001600 square foot homes ranging from $350,000-$400,000. Catering to mainly In response to an April, 2003 resolution, Associated Students, Inc. will host a series of workshops this week to educate students on the details of Clean Money campaign finance reform. ASI hopes to spark an increase in student voting rates by bringing the campus up-to-date on the latest political trend—appropriately, one that makes the political process more accessible to students. With regards to why student political activity is so low, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper said, "There's this widespread discouragement" among students regarding the political process. "Most of them are totally disengaged." Noting that the CSU mission statement includes the goal of producing politically responsible citizens, Roper said that the Lobby Corps—the political branch of ASI-—hopes to promote student political involvement with its workshops next week. According to publicampaign.org, "Clean Money, Clean Elections" (CMCE) reform "allows qualified candidates to run for public office without compromising their independence since they won't have to ask for money from those with a vested interest in public policy." As opposed to privately-funded campaigns that consistently span into the millions of dollars, CMCE reform would make public funding available for anyone who could prove the legitimacy of their campaign. "It basically allows politicians, once elected, to not be beholden to special interests," Roper said of the CMCE movement. "The reason it was written in that we do these workshops before an election was to remind people how truly messed up our political campaign system is." After gathering a required number of signatures and small donations, candidates would be provided with a first installment of public campaign money for primary elections. Upon winning the primary, candidates would be granted money for the general election campaign.

They do have cases where 'mom and dad' have purchased the house first and the collegiate son or daughter are the only ones in occupancy. Directly across Village Drive is a housing development that hasn't yet broken ground, but is estimated at 300 homes, contracted by The Standard Pacific company. Construction on the first offivephases begins in a few months. Apartments are also booming. In fact, 'Prominence' has the best view of CSUSM. They enjoy a lovely gated community and, unlike the housing tracks, cater to the student population—but convenience isn't cheap. These luxury apartments start at $1,175 for a downstairs, 750 square foot apartment (1 bedroom, 1 bath). Even if students were to share this, they would be paying at least $590.00 apiece. Two bedrooms at Prominence start at $1,525 for 1,128 square feet. Price doesn't seem to be a big concern for the complex. Prominence representative Kelli Francis said that they get plenty of students who share an apartment. The only real problem is during Summer breaks when students migrate back to their hometowns. Students either need to break their existing lease or illegally sub-lease the unit for those cases. Francis said that although student accommodations need to be made, "Prominence isflexibleand understanding. The community is diverse and students help that." Even with an existing resident base, the building still hasn't stopped at Prominence, which is in the expansion process and is expecting 130 more units in the next 6 months. When they arefinishedthe complex will have over 500 units available. Francis concluded, "With all of the local developments popping up, we don't even feel threatened by competition.... We get a lot of people in that are waiting for their new home to be built." Whether new developments are catering to students or not, we can count on growth to persist. Location is everything. As long as there is a growing university and land to build on, buyers see potential. Homes in San Diego County alone put dollar signs in their eyes, and a university in the area ensures any buyer of community. WORKSHOP from page 1 CAL GRANT from page 1 Silman would also recommend that students pick up the booklet titled "Fund Your Future Workbook" which is available in thefinancialaid office, CRA 4204. This booklet, published by EdFund and the California Student Aid Commission, describes in detail the Cal Grant and its different classifications and awards. In addition, the booklet provides a wealth of websites about financial aid including information on scholarships. The Pride apologizes for the inaccuracies and any inconvenience or confusion they may have caused. REGISTRATION from page 1 encourage and facilitate voting by our students." By making voter registration easily accessible on campus, ASI hoped to play a role in reversing the trend of low voter turnout among 18-25 year olds. If registered, students would be more likely to show up to voting booths, the proposal states. A week before the start of the spring semester, Roper handed the proposal over to Dr. Francine Martinez, Vice President of Student Affairs. According to Martinez, both she and Provost Robert Sheath admired the goal of the proposal. "Voter registration was a critical and important function for the ASI to take on with the university," she said. However, Martinez and Sheath raised some concerns about the proposal, which resulted in its not being executed as ASI had hoped. First of all, there was uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of the voter registration holders located in classrooms. The material provided in classrooms might be ignored, and the faculty might not be able to provide answers for inquiring students, Martinez said. Students need "direct contact," she said, and "to have simply a stack [of papers] may not be the most effective way to bring that to students." Martinez and Sheath came up with an alternative, and urged ASI to place the registration card holders in areas of "high traffic" around campus, where students could ask questions about the registration process and be directed to ASI. Roper acknowledges the concerns over whether or not the caddies would be effective, and recognizes the effort that Martinez and Sheath gave in setting up other locations for the registration caddies, but asked, "How would the university administration know whether or not the plan would be effective unless they tested it? Which they didn't allow to happen." Roper also said that there were other concerns regarding the proposal, such as the possibility of faculty members becoming upset about the presence of the caddies on their desks, and that the caddies may become a source of clutter in and/or around the classroom. At an Academic Senate meeting that Roper attended in January, he said that he passed out copies of his proposal, and found overwhelming support from faculty. "Only one professor raised a hand to express disapproval of the proposal," he said. Martinez said that since faculty opinions on the matter may be different, she encouraged Roper to identify individual professors who would be willing to participate in the effort, and who would both encourage students to register and be open to having the registration material available in their classrooms. While the time has run out for this proposal to be implemented for these coming elections, the issue still remains an important one to Roper. He plans to pass the proposal onto the next person elected as ASI VP of External Affairs, hoping that the proposal will be pushed through for the November elections.

SEXY, SULTRY SUNTAN ^¿jTjAN �NEWS BRIEFS The Affordability in Higher Education Act (HR3311) amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 in order to establish a new "college affordability index" for institutions of higher education, and create new reporting requirements and penalties for institutions that increase tuition and fees by more than twice the rate of inflation over any 3 year period. The bill was introduced into the House of Representatives on October 16,2003 by Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) Chairman, U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness and Rep. John A Boehner (R-OH), Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce. McKeon and Boehner's bill would not give the government any role in setting college costs, but beginning in 2011 the federal government would have the option of removing direct subsidies to institutions that repeatedly practice large tuition hikes. HR3311 has been under review in the U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness since November 11,2003. By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride StafiTWriter The Capital Fellows is an organization that provides programs offering college graduates an opportunity to explore a career in California's state government.

Second, the Assembly Fellowship program provides students with a chance to actually participate in the legislative process. Third, the Judicial Administration Fellowship Program assigns students work in trial courts and judicial offices throughout the state. Fourth, the Executive Fellowship Program places students in executive branch offices throughout the state capital. California State University students are urged to apply, and the only requirement is a bachelor's degree. The application deadline is February 25,2004.

The CSU also continues to show that a majority of its graduates are well educated in their subject matter in the annual evaluation survey of CSU teacher preparation programs, which surveys California K12 principals. The Cal State system has become the leader in alternative paths to certification, through its internship program, which combine teacher preparation coursework with full-time school district teaching jobs. It has also begun to recruit new and diverse students to the teaching field through outreach programs to over 27,000 high school, community college, and university student in the past year which is a 70 percent increase from the previous year.

Students from community colleges and the CSU and University of California systems are expected to participate. Leaders of higher education will speak about the impact that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's 200405 budget proposal would have on students and also on future students seeking admittance to state universities.

Schwarzenegger's cuts to EOP By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter Associated Students, Inc., voted in favor of a resolution in support of EOP, outreach, and academic preparation programs within the CSU system. "Gov. Schwarzenegger has targeted EOP to be cut from the CSU system," said Erik Roper, ASI vice president of external affairs, "EOP is not equal opportunity, it's education opportunity." ASI will join California State Student Association (CSSA) to oppose Gov. "EOP is not equal opportunity, it's education opportunity" to find out how to get more campus involvement. The group proposed to increase advertising around campus, which would include, passing out programming board flyers at different locations of campus; incorporate sound in the Dome television announcements; begin a newsbroadcasting channel; and continue fighting against campus posting policy. "There is an overwhelming blur of posters. Involved students will stop and take a look, but uninvolved students do not," said O'Connor. An additional proposal was to create a "college hour" for activities to be scheduled. "One of the main complaints was events scheduled during class time," said Lee. A designated time for events will avoid any conflict with class time. ASI decided not to vote on a position for taking a position on fee referendums.

This is especially true since social attitudes towards tattoos in general have signifigantly changed in recent times. i ifflflil^yi D2DY & M on CRflirU/ By L AURA W HITAKER Pride S taff Writer Zzzzzzzzzzzzt. Dzzzt. Dzzzt. If you live life somewhere between pleasure and pain, this may be one of your favorite sounds. Once reserved for sailors and whores in American folklore, tattoos today have carved their niche in the main stream as a means of personal expression, style, and body art. According to Tod Bain, a lifetime artist, and tattoo artist at About Face Tattoo in Oceanside for over four years, most people get tattoos right now because they are so popular. Although this allure for tattoos might make someone more open to getting one, students at CSUSM seem to have a few different reasons for acquiring permanent ink in their flesh. "I've done martial arts for twenty-two years," said senior, history, Duane Burns. "It symbolizes my experiences in the martial arts." Burns has three Chinese symbols on his right arm, and a dragon on his left. In contrast, Sarah Sutton, junior, said, "I woke up one morning and I needed a tattoo." Sutton opted for . a color tattoo in the middle of her upper back. As with many students, her main hurdle for living with her tattoo was her parents. Sutton said that the first thing her mom said when she found out about her tattoo was, "What are you going to do on your wedding day?" Senior Lora Rodstein, who got her first of two tattoos seven years ago, had more serious problems with her parents. "It's against Judaism to desecrate your body like that," said Rodstein. Luckily, her parents have come to terms with her tattoos, and she does not regret them. On the other hand, some students get tattoos specifically for religious reasons, like Les Condalor, who got a large tattoo of a cross on his right arm about a year ago. Some students, however, find less appeal in the idea of being marked forever. Sophomore Alise Battaglia said, "I don't want something on me for the rest of my life that I might regret someday." Battaglia's comment raises the question of whether or not people who are more established in life are getting tattoos, or regretting them. Local businesswoman Melinda Eisenhower, assistant vice president for a property management corporation in San Diego, got herfirsttattoo when she was 23. At that time in her life, she said she recalled thinking, "When they do an autopsy on me, when I'm an old lady, they'll think I am wild." Even though Eisenhower had her first tattoo "covered up," or altered, she has gone in for two more tattoos since then, one of which covers her entire back. The tattoo, which she had done in the last year, is in response to the passing of her husband. As a healing practice, Eisenhower explained, "It's a very transforming experience." Although most students with tattoos seem unconcerned with heir tattoos having had a negative effect on their lives professionally or socially, they may have a few kinks to work out in the future. Eisenhower explained that she has never had any trouble at work because of her tattoos, but relinquished that they also don't really show. She is careful that they are covered when she is meeting new clients. As far as people she has encountered everyday, however, she has had a few negative experiences. Eisenhower said that once a woman in a department store commented that she was ignorant and stupid because she had allowed herself to be tattooed. Eisenhower also related other common incidents of people seeing her tattoos and associating that with her being an "easy" woman. 18-year-old freshman Keith Kramer, had his last name tattooed on the back of his arm in the last year because of what he called a "spur of the moment thing." For those interested in getting tattoos, the process can be somewhat painful, and involves tattoo machines, often called "guns" by those less savvy to the industry. The machines plug into a power supply, and usually use between three and nine needles depending on the thickness of the line being drawn, and whether or not the area is being shaded. Tattoo artist Tod Bain has the right side of his chest tattooed, his whole left arm, called a sleeve, and most of his right arm which is still a work in progress. Bain said he obtained some of his tattoos because they are symbolic of different things in his life, and "some just 'cause I like 4 em." Bain is also lucky enough to have a job that he loves, his favorite part of which is, "being able to express myself daily." As far as cost, Bain said a tattoo would probably run between $50 for something small, and $4000 for a large piece, such as back piece. Tattoos can be designed specifically for an individual, or chosen from artwork called "flash" off of the wall of a tattoo parlor. Tattoos are a dynamic outlet for selfexpression that does require a cost/benefit assessment. "Make sure you know what you want," Bain said. "It's forever." �University Voice What do you t hink a bout; « I » mI ill k V ¿/M same-sex W ! H I f » » ml 1••j B=*i ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter The Oxford dictionary defines marriage as a "legal" union between a man and a woman for the purpose of "living together." Dictionary.com has seven entries relating to marriage, and only one of them relates to man and woman. It's becoming a hotly contested debate, and on one side there are religious and spiritual leaders adamantly opposed to same sex marriages, quoting the bible and referring to the destruction of Sodom and Gomora. In their eyes, God has decreed homosexuality a sin and any sign of approval of such behavior is clearly wrong according to God. This group believes that gays and lesbians "choose" this lifestyle, that they weren't born this way and could live a "straight" life if they really wanted to. The other side of the equation is the gay community itself, trying to obtain the same rights that married straight couples enjoy. As persecuted as the gay community has been, they argue, why would we choose this lifestyle? What is the difference between a man and a woman being married for twenty years and a man and a man, or a woman and a woman? With recent debate in Massachusetts on this very issue, The Pride hit the campus to see what the student pulse is on this contentious issue. "I'm all for it, I believe in the sanctity of love, not institutions. If we're as free a country as we say we are, we shouldn't have restrictions on how we love," said literature major Polly Charenquanchai. Luis Arreola, junior, history major, cocked his head to one side and thought about it for a moment, then said, "Nah, I don't have a problem with gay marriage, as long as it makes those people happy." "They should be able to do what they want to, I think equal rights for everyone," said Ryan Kennedy, graduate student, literature. "They want everyone to think like they do," he continued. "They're (religious groups opposed to same-sex marriages) afraid of people who think outside their belief system." Jessica Fowler, junior business major, paused and took time to think before replying to how she felt about gay marriage. "I don't have a problem with gay people, I have gay friends it's just that...I'm unsure whether it's right socially, biologically or spiritually...I'm not sure it's right for our society." Paula McCoglan senior, communications, said, "I think the government should get out of the business of marriage, we shouldn't allow the government to favor one group over another." McCoglan explained her solution as one where couples, two consenting adults, present themselves to the government and register as domestic partners. The government then bestows the same benefits heterosexual couples receive through the government through marriage to samesex couples. If a couple wants to get m arried P however * fh P ' . McCoglan Q? P c ontinued they r can then ' ^ P go to a ^téÂCkMJ^ — ^^-- * c hurch, and that individual church, can decide who they want to "marry." McCoglan's solution of registering domestic partners sounds an awful lot like Oxfords definition of marriage, minus the exclusive "man and woman" part. This issue of debate probably won't be solved tomorrow, but more voices in the gay community are being heard. Not this election, but sometime soon, this issue will determine a presidency.

Photo by Ashley Renzy/ The Pride Cindy Pinhal is on exchange f rom France and assists the French department. Pinhal has been on exchange since August, and enjoys the interactive approaches to teaching she has found here in the states. French connection with CSUSM Highlighting some of the differences with American andFrench universities By ASHLEY RENZY Pride Staff Writer At a French University the professor just shows up, lectures and leaves; not leaving any time for questions, feedback or office hours. "There is no syllabus, and no attendance requirements," said Cindy Pinhal. "School is completely the student's responsibility." Cindy Pinhal is an assistant to French professor Dr. Anover, on exchange from France. CSUSM offers study abroad programs to students, as well as two different teacher exchange programs. After completing her master's, Pinhal arrived to the United States last August to assist in the teaching of a few French classes for the spring semester. At the end of the semester, Pinhal hopes to stay here in the United States to finish her Ph.D., or return to France for a short while in high hopes of attaining a teaching job at a university back here in the states. Differentiating between the French and American school systems, Pinhal described how college in France is not necessar- ily easier, just focused differently. In France, the competition is with yourself more than with other students. At the end of high school in France, before graduation, there is a difficult exam, lasting one week, to test skills acquired in every subject. With passing this exam, the student is automatically registered in one of his or her top three choices of universities. Students attending the university pay $400 a year. The school days are also much different from those in America; classes go for an entire year, rather than by semester. A typical weekly school schedule is Mon. through Fri., 8a.m. until 5p.m. "There is no choice in customizing a class schedule," she said. "As a result most students cannot work during school and must live with their parents." Pinhal described the school system in France as "very impersonal." "There is no personal contact with students," she said. A more interactive education leads to better grades, and in an environment like this, if the students do not understand they can ask questions during, class or can go to the professor's office hours. "These outside resources really help them (students) to understand the subject matter better," she said. "I love the way teaching is done here," said Pinhal. "The only thing I do not like is the instability of the occupation. Here, there is a lot to worry about with budget cuts, competition and tenure." "In France once you are hired and go through a one-year training," she said. "You are certain that you have your job for life (and) that is a big security issue." For the students currently enrolled at CSUSM, Cindy Pinhal personally invites you to come to France. "The more students that come to France the better; it is a very widespread and popular culture," she said. "Do not be discouraged if you are not fluent in the language, because a lot of English is spoken there as well." Finance and Economic society meeting Wed. By ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer The Finance and Economic Society (formerly known as the Finance Club), had its first membership meeting last Wednesday night, supplied with extra pizza and soda. An upcoming meeting will be held this Wednesday, Feb. 18, where Fred Gerson, chieffinancialofficer of the San Diego Padres, will be speaking to the group about his job. More speakers are scheduled to appear later this semester; both are chief financial advisers, one is from the San Diego Zoo and the other is from the City of Carlsbad. The Finance and Economic Society does a variety of things that range from helping students at Cal State San Marcos control their personal finances, handling company finances and helping students find quality jobs after completing college. The goal of the Finance and Economics Society, as stated by president Greg Lucas, is "to benefit the students without burdening them." Lucas said some societies tend to put pressure on their members, and the point of this society is to aid, not overwhelm, students. This is one of the many new clubs on campus and would be ideal for students majoring in business, although all majors are accepted and encouraged to join the society. The society's vice president of technology, Kat Mulkahy, will give an upcoming seminar on managing personal finances. �Jock Talk with Josh Ephedra is a dangerous short cut By JOSH SANDOVAL Pride StaffWriter Photo by Jennifer Jones/ The Pride Jeff Brown i nstructs a Krav Maga student. Krav Maga class is o ffered through A SI Leisure a nd Fitness c ourses in t he Clarke Field House. Krav Maga attunes self-defense tactics with natural instincts By JENNIFER JONES Pride StaffWriter If you were one of the relatively few people to see Jennifer Lopez kick the crap out of her abusive husband in the movie "Enough," you probably thought to yourself, "yeah right." The technique Lopez displayed is called Krav Maga, and it is being taught right here at CSUSM. Krav Maga is a practical method of self-defense. It combines the physical elements of traditional martial arts, but is designed to rely more on a person's instinctive defensive reactions to a street situation. It has become a popular form of self-defense because it is easy to learn and teaches the student to use thier natural instincts in a given situation. Krav Maga also teaches techniques to use while under pressure, such as low light, or even lying down, because such circumstances are often present in street confrontations. Krav Maga has less to do with the tradition of martial arts, such as bowing and other forms of the art, which can be for sport, but rather is more reality based so that one will have the skills to turn natural reactions into life saving moves. The only fight there needs to be is the last fight. One learns that when in a vulnerable or dangerous situation, to use whatever means nec- essary. "The motto here is attack, attack, attack," said Krav Maga instructor Jeff Brown, "right, wrong, it doesn't matter as long as you hit 'em." Jeff Brown is a decorated martial artist interested in bringing Krav Maga onto the college because, "Everyone, especially every female, should know how to defend him or herself." For women that may be kicking an attacker in the groin. For men it may be punching them in the nose or throat. Brown tells his students to "never give up your weapon, because if you give up your weapon, you're dead." For law enforcement officers that might mean a-gun, in this situation the weapon is your body. Brown said that most attacks are against women; "There is so much crime and violence today and everybody has the right to defend themselves." "I'm going home and practice on my husband." said Madaline Aragone, junior, liberal studies. Garrett Collin, a staff member, is taking the class to get more exercise, "I'm going to try to stay with it the whole time [six weeks]." Each class builds on the previous but in the first half there will be a review of the basic techniques for newcomers. Krav Maga is just one pf nine different classes offered in the ASI Group Fitness and Leisure Courses program. If self-defense is not your idea of fun, maybe trying Ashtanga Yoga or Gypsy Style Belly Dance would be a better suit. Also offered are more traditional fitness classes such as Circuit Training or Step Aerobics. These are just a few of the different classes available for students at the Clarke Field House/ University Student Union. All of these classes are free to students, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to get in shape and have fun. "The ASI Leisure and Fitness classes are a great way for students, faculty, and staff to stay active, meet new people, and explore new talents they may not have known they had," said Laurence Bolotin, ASI coordinator of student programs and services. The Krav Maga Martial Arts class meets Tuesday and Thursday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. There is no registration required for these classes. You can try them all if you like, and find the one that suits you best. Students interested in classes are advised to come ten minutes early to the class of choice, get a wristband at the ASI Adventure Center and start having fun. Some people are always looking for a shortcut; or some sort of advantage that will give an upper hand without much effort. Typically, the reason being that there just are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done; prioritization is crucial. Some people strive to look physically attractive, however, not all of these people are willing to put in the extra effort needed to lose weight or bulk up, because it takes time, and a lot of effort. Time is something many people do not have in their busy schedules. The business world knows that the average person does not have the time to exercise multiple hours in a day. Herbal companies create supplements that contain ephedrine (ephedra for short) designed to aid in weight loss and body building for athletes. When the average person looking to trim down hears about these miracle products that helps weight loss, he or she runs out and tries it. What the average person does not know is that ephedra based supplements are extremely dangerous. According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) there have been a total of 155 deaths linked to ephedra. One of those 155 deaths was Korey Stringer of the National Football League (NFL). In 2002, Stringer suffered a heart attack, and died moments later during a pre-season workout with the Minnesota Vikings. The cause of the heart attack was linked to the combination of excessive heat and ephedra. In 2003, another one of the 155 deaths occurred on a playing field. Steve Bechler was a young, right-handed starting pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Baltimore Orioles. Bechler was a little over weight, and was taking an ephedra based supplement to help lose some extra pounds. During a spring training workout in Florida, Bechler collapsed, and suffered a heat stroke where shortly thereafter he died. Sales of ephedra products dropped shortly after the death of Bechler, but the product is still being bought by many. If athletes who should be physically superior to the normal person can die from using ephedra, then the average person can suffer complications just as easily. The FDA has banned ephedra from being sold after early April, which is consequently causing many people to rush out and buy as much of the supplement as possible before the April 12 deadline. This ban on ephedra will be the first ban of a diet supplement in government history. Metabolife was one of the companies affected by the bad press. The company has stopped the sale of ephedra supplements, but Metabolife is sticking by their claim that ephedra is safe to use. "Metabolife believes their products are safe and effective when used as directed," said spokeswoman Jan Strode. With the ban on ephedra, another supplement is soon to be created to take its place. The FDA has stated that they will keep a close eye on what ingredients will be replacing ephedra. The NFL and MLB are two organizations that will also be keeping a close eye on the new supplements. The NFL has always been very strict with their substance abuse policy, which extends to supplements such as ephedra. The MLB has never had a substance abuse policy like the NFL where players are required to take drug tests, but MLB is changing its ways. Starting this season, MLB will conduct drug tests for the first time ever. It will be quite interesting to see which players come into this baseball season with a lot less muscle. Athletes, however, are not the only ones who feel the need to lose some weight. Many college students turn to supplements in order to lose weight, especially with the thought of becoming a victim of the "freshman 15." Professor at CSUSM, Ileen Miller, who also works as a nutritionist for Cal-a-Vie said, "The average student gains 15 pounds freshman year." With the concern of weight gain, some students may choose to take that shortcut rather than exercise and carefully watch what they eat. Even if you are not an athlete, know what you are putting in your body and ask yourself if taking that massive shortcut is worth the risk.

Over the years, time seems to go faster and slower. One day you are sitting on the beach in Costa Rica, next you are punching your thoughts into a keyboard to meet deadlines. During all of this, it's important to set aside some time from the daily hustle to say thank you. Walking out of class and out to the parking lot is a good time for that. The sunset yesterday lined the horizon with radiance after class. Students finishing up for the day flooded the walkways in a hurry to exit the campus. What was next? Rushing home to get ready for work? Slowing down for five seconds, looking up to the sky and saying thank you will give you a refreshed perspective. It makes people think about what they have to be thankful for. Then step into the car for the ride home. Taking the time to slow down will make the ride easier, smarter and more enjoyable.

BIER NUTS By KEVIN BRABEC Pride StaffWriter Superstores such as Wal-Mart have become such a part of our retail landscape that many cannot imagine what life was like before them. It takes me 10 minutes to get on the freeway at my entrance when it used to take 2 minutes. The days of mom and pop stores are left to the memories of, well, our moms and our pops. And if they came over to visit they would definitely complain about the traffic too. These superstores have everything, a large selection of most of what we need for our daily lives, all at affordable prices and with the great convenience of everything in one place. Some of us may remember even a few years ago, when large stores such as Kmart and Pic N ' Save were going strong. The only advantage to these stores was price. Typically, they were a mess and most of the merchandise was junk. If your Mom bought your school clothes there, you were not cool and you knew it. The other kids in your school knew it too. The differences in quality and image between what products Wal-Mart carries and what, for example, Bed, Bath By: Chad • 'SARAH R JWN X HAVE A TATTOO... W A M A SB F? and Beyond or even Old Navy carries are becoming less and less. In addition, today's WalMart is stocking the latest CDs and home electronics, all at very competitive prices. Everything is in its place, the piles of j unk we remember at chain stores even a few years ago are nowhere in sight at today's WalMart. These superstores are not lazy, either. They are working very hard to fill in the holes and offer us more and more, all at great prices and in great supply, so you can always find what you're looking f or—price, convenience, selection and quality, all in one. So we all win, right? Yes and no. All of this convenience and affordability comes at a cost. You don't have to be that old to remember the stores in your community that your local Wal-Mart replaced. After all, people have always needed socks, toothpaste and the latest Brad Pitt or Julia Roberts movie. So where have all the old stores gone? They have disappeared. The idea of a local merchant whose name you knew and who knew yours is as much a part of history as the local soda shop. When we consider quality of life, when we think about the few extra dollars lining our pockets because of cheaper superstore prices, we should not forget the enjoyment of shopping, the comfort of personal service and sales people and merchants who knew their products and their customers. The experience of shopping among friends in a smaller, more comfortable setting cannot be matched by the •: - Photo by Jon Rodley/The Pride Cars line a parking lot at the San Marcos Wal Mart Friday. Large stores bring more than goods when they open. industrial experience found at the superstores. So while we may be thankful for those few dollars a week we save by shopping at Wal-Mart, we should ask ourselves what have lost in the bargain? Where has the sense of community gone? Has it come down to passing the people that we know in the isle but not stopping to ask how they are because we don't have enough time? Has time its self gotten shorter some how by the advent of convenience? Or, do we have so much time that we feel obligated to fill it up with the things that shouldn't matter to us?

After sharing my thoughts on the errors in our newspaper in last week's column, it seems like I sparked an exponential growth of errors in this week's edition. In fact, I was so troubled by the increase that I felt compelled to do some research into how other ombudsmen handle the subject of errors. Gina Lubrano is the Readers Representative for the San Diego Union-Tribune. Her column from January 12, 2004 dealt specifically with the subject of errors. In a no nonsense statement, Lubrano opens her column by stating simply "it would be a mistake to say errors in newspa- pers are inevitable." From that, I thought about how to apply Lubrano's idea to what I had written last week. I would agree with Lubrano that there should be no "inevitable" errors. In other words, there should never be a time in which we, as reporters and editors of this publication, default to accept that there will be some errors in each edition of The Pride.

Race matters at CSUSM By JASON ROBBINS Pride StaffWiiter There is little doubt that society is as equal as it should be. But could inequality fester within the halls of our own cozy university? In a place where a statue of Cesar Chavez seems to welcome all, inequality is indeed a reality. The term "inequality of condition" refers to differences in people's living standards or conditions. The distribution of those enrolled in college is just one measure of such standards. At CSUSM, certain ethnic/racial groups are not distributed in proportion to their overall population size. As of fall 2003, the student body was 53 percent Caucasian, 18.04 percent Latino, 9.4 percent Asian and 2.7 percent African American. The problem here is that California's population is 59 percent Caucasian, 32.4 percent Latino, 10.9 percent Asian, and 6.7 percent African American (U.S Census). For whatever sociological or conservative reason you may want to offer up, the distribution of Latinos and African Americans within our student body is not proportionate to those groups presence in California. The disproportions equate to an inequality of condition with the condition being educational LETTERS TO TH I noticed a few things in the Feb. 3rd issue that I'd like to discuss. Budget cuts seemed to be the topic of the day in the recent issue, and we were advised by the Chancellor to support proposition 55, a measure that would allow bonds to help "balance" the budget. This is akin to using a credit card to pay your late rent. I'm actually quite surprised that the Chancellor could support this kind of financial irresponsibility in a budget crisis such as this. Which brings me to my fact and quote must be checked to ensure that accuracy is maintained. As student journalists, we cannot afford to appear sloppy or apathetic towards errors and must proactively address the topic. Indeed, most of the errors that I write come from my own critique of The Pride or from the editor or reporter who has worked on the particular story in question. That fact stresses our commitment to accuracy and accountability when we have erred. After all, as Lubrano explains, "credibility is at stake." And credibility is something that will do the best job. An alarming number of Republicans felt that Tom McClintock was the better candidate, yet they voted for the Terminator because he had a better chance to win. Many Democrats were upset with the shady financial dealings of Cruz Bustamante, yet seemed to have no problem voting for his lack of integrity. Even Peter Camejo talked about the ISSUES, while the 2 biggest candidates slung mud. In addition, many of my classmates remind me how the Terminator is a horrible attainment. The relationship between race/ ethnicity and higher education exhibited at CSUSM is endemic to the nation itself. Out of 17,408,664 American college students, 71.5 percent are White, 10.6 percent are Latino, and 7 percent are AfricanAmerican. Yet the American populace is 12.5 percent Latino and 12.3 percent African American. The same type of disproportionate ethnic representation at CSUSM appears to exist at colleges across America. An inequality of condition of educational attainment is exceptionally significant because college degrees yield social resources: money, prestige, etc. For minority groups who hold lesser shares, education is one way to achieve more social equality. It is clear that the instrument of change is most accessible to the most powerful and wealthy. To attain positions of organizational authority (where power often resides), one must necessarily earn some type of college degree. One must also possess a degree in order to accumulate substantial wealth (how power is often purchased). Moreover for groups who wish to initiate positive social change, higher education is an excellent tool. The problem at CSUSM and throughout the nation is that the distribution of African Americans, Latinos and other minority groups in college is a condition that needs to be adjusted. First someone must properly address the cause(s) of such inequalities. Maybe not all people have an equal opportunity to be welcomed by Cesar Chavez. DITOR choice for governor. And how many of those classmates actually voted in the election? To date, none. We're continually complaining about our officials, on a state and national level, yet we do nothing about it. When measures are in the legislature that we disapprove of, how many of us actually write our elected representatives to let them know how their constituents feel? We must never forget that they serve us, not the other way around. The pride needs to get the message out. Get the sheep off their couches, and get them to the ballot box.

James Fitzer �Eat your heart out Hallmark; Shakespeare brings the love By JONATHON RODLEY Pride StaffWriter The fat belly and red wings of Cupid idled on the wall looking out at 30 or so students enamored by Shakespeare Thursday night. CSU San Marcos students read all 154 of Shakespeare's "Sonnets" in honor of Valentine's day. "Not marble, not the gilded monuments / Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme" quoted Shakespeare in the fifty fifth of his love poems. The Medieval Roundtable Club hosted the poetry marathon to provide an alternative to a typical "hallmark" event. "We decided to have something a little more intellectual," said Bridget Wiese, president of the club. Instead of red roses and fluffy love poems, the club handed out condom roses and lubricants during the reading. Wiese said the poems are f ull of darkness, pain and sexual affairs. Many people read the "Sonnets" thinking Shakespeare wrote them to a woman. In reality, he wrote them to fair young man, she said Throughout the reading children ran in and out of the room playing games, while couples huddled and friends mingled. It took about two hours to complete the sonnet cycle. "I think it went really well, we had a great turnout," Wiese said. The Medieval Roundtable Club plans to host several film viewings later this semester with Dr. Heather Hayton's classes.

The film that was shown, titled "Secret Passage," is on "a great topic," said Sepinwall who has been a professor at CSUSM Photo courtesy of Secret Passage Venitian Noble Paulo Zane stares offscreen at Clara while being tipped off to Isabel's schemes. "Seeing the 16th century brought back to life will provide details about the way people act that you can't get from books," Sepinwall said. She said this film could help students to understand "the human "... it's a vibrant and factor" of events like the Inquisition.

They are forced to convert to Catholicism while living in Spain yet they continue to remain faithful to their Jewish faith by practicing in private. As such, they still feel the pressure of living in the overwhelmingly Catholic European continent. The sister's lives become filled with conflicts as Isabel tries to escape and move the family to Istanbul. Clara falls in love with a Venetian noble, Paolo Zane played by John Turturro. Clara, not wanting to leave her lover, allows her emotions to overcome both her faith and her loyalty to her sister and writes a letter to the count of Venice outlining Isabel's plan of escape. The story ends as Isabel is arrested while Clara, now repentant for what she has done, completes the task of moving her family to Istanbul. Isabel goes to her death denying the cross of Christ and vocally declaring her allegiance to Judaism as she is drowned. In a question and answer session following the film, Sepinwall said that the film was "historically based" although the story is unique to the film. An interesting perspective brought up in the discussion was that of relations between Jews and non-Jews in 16th century Europe. "Sexual relations between Jews and non-Jews were a big anxiety for the authorities," Sepinwall said. That explanation relates why Clara could have possibly chosen her family over her love at the end of the film. Sepinwall who received forty tickets to the film festival for her students paid for by the Funes Fund, which provides moneys so that students can attend visual and performing arts events, was excited about student involvement. "Its great going to the festival with the community, it's a vibrant and lively experience that is a major event," she said. Sepinwall especially enjoys films that have discussion afterwards, "hearing people ask questions and hearing their responses gives an experience that seeing a film in class just doesn't do." 'Hidalgo': an American legend ByMARKPERRERA Pride StaffWriter In the theater the air is filled with anticipation and suspense, not from waiting for the movie to start but from walking back and forth trying to find a seat. I'm at an advanced screening for the film "Hidalgo." The movie is based on the true story of the life of Frank T. Hopkins a.k.a. Blue Child and his wild mustang, Hidalgo. Viggo Mortensen of "Lord of the Rings" fame plays Hopkins as a savage, wild and rugged man who is just as tough as his horse; The bond between Hopkins and Hidalgo is one that surpasses all human understanding. They are best friends and they are brothers. The story begins when Blue Child, who is Caucasian and Native American, witnesses the massacre of his people by the cavalry at the Battle of Wounded Knee. Struggling to find his place in American culture, Blue Child drinks constantly and he is always drunk when he performs on the "Wild Bill Hickock" show with Hidalgo. It is during one such performance that an Iraqi sheik becomes offended by Hopkins' billing. Wild Bill announces him as the world's greatest rider on the most famous horse. The sheik then challenges Blue Child to prove himself in the 3,000 mile race across the desert sands of Syria and the Arabian Desert called the Ocean of Fire. The victor is to walk away with $100,000. Throughout the film there are twists and turns that kept Photo courtesy of Touchstone Pictures Frank T. Hopkins rode a mustang against the finest Arabian horses. the audience on the edge of their seats. It is action and suspense all rolled in together as Hidalgo and Hopkins narrowly escape the dangers of this race. The climax rises and falls from scene to scene until finally, the moment everyone we were waiting for, a horn sounds as the horses are seen in the distance approaching the finish line. Don't leave your seats to get popcorn because you will miss out on a great ending. Photo courtesy of Touchstone Pictures Viggo Mortensen plays Frank T. Hopkins a legendary American cowboy who raced across the Arabian Desert in a 3,000 mile survival race. This film is not j ust about horse races or a man's personal search to put the pieces of his life together. Its not just about the bond between a man and his horse.

"More people want in the credential program than we B u d g e t can allow in," said College of W a t c h education representative for 2004 the Budget and Long Range Planning Committee, Dr. Tom Bennett. As Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college of education confirmed, "the college of education will be expected to take a part of the system-wide reduction in students. Lilly said because the college's credential program isfifth-year,it would be "better not to admit students, than to admit them and not be able to offer them the classes to Dean Lilly finish." Restrictions to credential program admissions will be based primarily on the needs of the field, he explained. If the pool of available teachers in a particular area is larger than the number of jobs, "that's where we would decide to limit admissions," he said. For example, Lilly said that "There is a chronic shortage of special education teachers in this area. We will not restrain admission to special education credential programs. It wouldn't be a responsible thing to do." Admissions restrictions will likely result in the reduction of one less "cohort group" in a year. The cohort model provides for groups currently of approximately 30 credential students to remain together in all of their courses throughout the yearlong program. Lilly surmised that, "Maybe the best thing we have going is the luxury of the cohort model. Teachers learn from each other and support each other," closely mirroring a professional learning community. He further See EDUCATION, page 2 Other News. Features. Sports. Opinions...

"The state is not going to be better off 20 years from now because we denied people access to higher education," said George Diehr, president of the CSUSM chapter of the California Faculty Association. A number of programs that are considered vital throughout the CSU system are in jeopardy under Schwarzenegger's cuts, the most notable being the Educational Opportunity Program. With form letters lined up on side tables, ASI Vice President of External Affairs Erik Roper encouraged students to get involved politically by calling or writing their state representatives.

Almost 450 students from North County high schools swarmed CSUSM from morning till 1:30 p.m., some for the food and fun; others had a more serious purpose. "I came for info about the university," said Juan Beltran, a senior at Valley Center high school. MEChA ran the event for that purpose, to motivate students to attend college and raise awareness of Latino issues and history. "It explained something about my culture," Beltran said. In California, Latinos are 32 percent of the population, but only 18 percent of the students at Cal State San Marcos are Latino. Latinos are considered underrepresented because of this. "They need to be here, and they should be here," said E. Sugar Martinez, assistant professor for the college of education. She said that we are at a time when demographics are changing "like a tidal wave. "The changes are going to be revolutionary," Members of SoKal represented Escondido Friday as they sang about street life. See MEChA, page 3 Report calls book prices a ' ripoff By MICHELLE VELARDE Pride StaffWriter The publishing incjustry has developed numerous ways to make college students pay high prices for textbooks, a recent report says. The California and Oregon Student Public Interest Research Groups (State PIRGs) issued the report in January, 2004, fittingly titled "Rip-off 101: How the Current Practices of the Publishing Industry Drive Up the Cost of College Textbooks." In conducting their research, the State PIRG's surveyed ten colleges in California and Oregon, and interviewed 521 students and 156 faculty members. One technique used by publishers to get more money is to include additional "bells and whistles" with See BOOKS, page 2 Photo by Tom Pfingsten/77*e Pride Students look for t hese familiar stickers on discounted books in the University Bookstore.

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. BOOKS from page 1 textbooks, such as CD ROMs or workbooks, the report says. Students usually cannot buy the book without the additional material. "Rip-off 101" reports that this tends to happen more with science and math books. CSUSM chemistry professor Michael Schmidt remembers an instance when it was cheaper for the school to order the new edition of a textbook with a CD included than the edition without it. However, by ordering the less expensive editions with the CD, it also prevented the used editions from being stocked, because they didn't come with a CD. Students were therefore unable to buy the more affordable used editions. "Some of the tricks they pull are amazing," Schmidt said. In addition, the report says that sixty-five percent of professors "rarely" or "never" require students to use these supplemental materials. Therefore, when students buy books with additional study items, they are paying for something that they most likely will not use. Angela Lesh, CSUSM sophomore business major, has never used a CD that has come with one of her textbooks. " I'll forget that I even have it," she says, "and then I'll need it to return [sell back] books." The report also concluded that publishers frequently put out new editions of textbooks, even if it isn't necessary. Erwin V. Cohen, a former publishing industry executive for Academic Press, was quoted in the report. "Publishers release new editions of successful textbooks every few years," he said, "not to improve content, although that may be a P hoto by Tom Pfingsten/77ze Pride S haron R omo b uys s chool s upplies in t he U niversity B ookstore M onday.

Seventy-six percent of the faculty surveyed for the report said that putting out new editions for textbooks is necessary "never" to "half the time." As a result of the constant production of new editions, students have a hard time finding used books, the report says. Fifty-nine percent of students surveyed could not find one used book in the fall, 2003 semester. Lesh said that new books go quickly. "If I don't go (to the bookstore) right away, I have to buy new books," she said. Some students, EDUCATION THE PRIDE from page 1 explained, "We know what we need to offer a group of students that comes through the door. Students like the predictability of it. They never stand in line to get a class," About 16 percent of the university's current students are enrolled in the college of education's post-graduate programs, 8085 percent of which are credential students, Lilly explained. Related to instruction, last year's cuts included no layoffs, and concerning the future possibility of faculty layoffs, Lilly stated for the record that, "We don't anticipate it, but we don't know." Last year's budget reduced faculty travel allocations and mileage reimbursements for professional meetings and conferences, in order not to affect the number of sections offered or the number of students admitted this year. Concerning programs to be affected by budget reductions, Bennett explained, "we need to cut areas that we're sure will come back. You can whittle things down in areas and they will never come back. If you cut core essential things that there's a lot of personal interest in, then when funding comes back, they will also come back." Furthermore, he added, "There has been no discussion about what's being removed. It needs to be something that will come back for certain. If we raise class sizes, they may never go back down." Placing a greater burden on teachers, these measures may affect the quality of instruction available within the college of education. Bennett, a mathematics professor, characterized CSUSM as on the "cutting edge" of educational knowledge and resources. His greatest concern as a faculty member was regarding continued faculty support, elaborating that unless teachers continue to pursue professional development, "the ideas that they still hold will be the ideas of yesterday." He continued, "There needs to be continued opportunity to participate in the broader community, so that those ideas can then be brought to our students." Bennett further explained that, "We're very well respected among the communities. We spend a lot of time in the community working in schools, helping them to have leading programs, training See EDUCATION, page 4 ADVERTISE WITH THE PRIDE!

Online textbooks may be a cheaper option, because the cost of paper and printing is eliminated, the report states.

In 2002, SDSU implemented CaMexUS which linked them to Canada and Mexico. These are undergraduate programs with the main focus on international business. Students in the Transamerica program will study for a minimum of one year in each country and will graduate with three degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in international business with emphasis in Spanish and Latin American studies, a Licenciatura en Negociaciones Internacionales from the Universidad de Valparaiso in Vina del Mar and Valparaiso, Chile, and a Licenciatura en Negocios Internacionales from the Unversidad Automoa de Baja California in Tijuana. Transamerica director Teresa Cisneros Donahue said the international degree will prepare students to take advantage of new economic market forming overseas and help expand our academic relations with them. Prerequisites of the triple degree program require students to earn 79 units in international business courses. Half of these courses must be completed in Spanish at Transamerica schools plus 49 units of General Education at SDSU. CSU Chico gets $1 million grant By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter California Postsecondary Education Commission has granted $998,946 to Cal State University, Chico. The grant will be used to improve the quality of education of K-12 teachers and help county offices of education meet new mandated requirements for beginning teachers. The funds will also be distributed among Tehama County Office of Education and Northeastern California Teachers Education Collaborative (NECTEC). The California Commission on Teaching Credentialing now requires teachers to continue learning in areas such as: technology, teaching English learners, creating healthy learning environments and teaching special populations. "From district to district, there is a wide rang of induction activities. NECTEC will improve on current work, developing new materials, make them easy to access and align them during this crucial time," said Terry Janicki, CSU Chico education services. jjVv^' iJíxí III. 91 ¥ ¥ V BIRTH CHÇICE OF S A N MARCOS l it --CAN W-'L. - f:}, tfèî: Ii I m HELP- 760.744.1313 277 S.

During a speech she gave, she performed a song she wrote for the event called "Si Se Puede," — "Yes You Can," — Caesar Chavez's slogan for Latino rights. Her message, she said, was that through education, it is possible for students to grow into leadership — leadership to open the doors for underrepresented people in the community. At Cal State San Marcos, the doors are open for them, said Rosa Balcazar, entertainment chair for MEChA and a freshman at CSUSM. She said the theme for the convention was "Education is not a dream, it is a goal." After speeches, including an intro by President Haines, the students attended workshops concerning entering college and cultural topics. Dr. Carlos von Son, a professor for the world languages department, lectured classes of 50 students on a painting of the "Virgin of Guadalupe." In a world where images represent who we are, von Son talked about image changes in the United States. He said he urged the importance of art in education and wanted the students to start thinking for themselves. "Students were really responsive. I like that," he said.

The group of seven included a 12-year-old rapper who made the crowd scream in approval. Rapper Adam Hinojosa, aka 187, said that the group raps about their views of society, life, love, and street problems. "Instead of being in gangs, we express ourselves with music," he said. "We do it because we love it." Students seemed to love it also with their cheering. "They know what they're doing," said Adriana Solis, a senior at Orange Glen. She said she came just to see them. They sing about Mexican pride, she said. Before the convention ended, Ivette Olmos, MEChA vice president and chair for the convention, collected evaluations from the students.

Affiliated with the North County Professional Development Federation, a consortium of approximately 22 districts, CSUSM would be disabled by budget cuts in its ability to work with teachers in the community. Such collaboration with local school districts is essential when considering its impact, as evidenced by this February 6 statement in the CSU Leader, a weekly e-news publication of the CSU: "CSU has increased the number of new teaching credential candidates to 12,700, a 25 percent increase during 2001-2. The CSU is widely known for preparing 60 percent of California's credentialed teachers." In lieu of these successful and essential CSU programs, state Superintendent of Education Jack O'Connell sent a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger urging that the proposed 40 percent graduate fee increase not apply to credential students, "because of the importance of having a qualified pool of students in the state," Lilly said, adding, "We're going to try to back that up by protecting fee levels as much as we can." Emphasizing the unique importance CSUSM places on teacher education, he revealed that, "This campus invests a higher proportion of its funds in preparing teachers than any other CSU." With regard to this year's funding, the college of education (COE)'s fiscal year (FY) 03/04 initial general fund budget allocation consisted of $4,669,577, or approximately 6.1 percent of the total fall 2003 CSUSM annual budget of $76,510,104, or 11.42 percent of the $40.9 million payroll of 980 employees (full-, and part-time staff and faculty). FY 03/04 budget cuts accounted for $371,959, or 7.97 percent, including a permanent funding cut of $274,917, or 5.89 percent, resulting in a net FY 03/04 COE budget allocation of $4,297,618, according to Resource and Operations Manager for the Provost, Deborah Cutler Ray. Because instructional budgets are separate from all other funds (i.e. buildings), however, the Proposition 55 $15 billion bond proposed on the March 2 ballot would not directly affect these figures, which consist solely of instructional funding allocations. However, as Lilly explained, the bond measure "will have a domino effect," as new construction allows the college of education to "grow into their building," while WMMmwMiftfti Photo by Melissa Rodriguez/TTie Pride .

Proposition 57, a $15 billion bond designed to cover California's current deficit, will likewise effect the college, as feasibly less potential cuts will be directed toward it and the university as a whole. The Governor's proposed elimination of EOP and outreach programs would also have a significant impact, limiting WÈ 'You buy the Pitcher I We buv the Pizza! ¡11^ You buy one pitcher, and well buy you a medium cheese pizza!

The Dean expressed his concern saying, "We're very interested in, and committed to the continuation of outreach programs. Elimination would absolutely affect those looking to come in." Reflecting on the Governor's proposed fee increase structure of 10 percent for undergraduates, 40 percent for graduate students, RALLY from page 1 and an additional 20 percent for non-residents, Lilly expressed that, "One of the really good things this state does is, when fees increase, part of those fees go toward proportionately increasing available grant funds such as Cal Grants, so that those who are least able to afford a fee increase also have the grant money available to them." He affirmed this effect as "a forward looking policy." Golich. "It makes no sense to me." Several other CSUSM faculty members attended the rally, including Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman, who suggested creating a county-wide "anti-cuts coalition." Newman cited a recent rally at UCSD as evidence that students here are "not alone" in opposing the governor's budget cuts. Former EOP Director Edward Pohlert noted that several of the assemblymen students were asked to contact were former EOP students themselves. "There are 300,000 EOP graduates since 1969 that are doing some great work," Pohlert said. "It's not about the governor. It's a numbers game." Pohlert also answered concerns that Schwarzenegger's cuts to the EOP may be racially motivated. "I don't think it's a racial issue as much as a class issue," he said, raising questions about the governor's financial backers. 2004-2005 budget goes unchallenged. The majority of the time during the rally was spent focusing on the governor's plans to cut the Educational Opportunity Program out of campuses across the state. Students were asked to contact local political leaders while hearing testimonies from EOP graduates. "When I first heard about the governor's cuts to the EOP, I was disheartened, because so many of us have gone on to contribute to the state," said former EOP student Susana Gonzalez. "The governor's cutting numbers—he's not looking at your face." According to a fact sheet circulated Monday, the EOP at Cal State San Marcos serves more than five hundred low-income students, providing one $750 grant per year to each eligible participant. EOP services include advising and "supplemental instruction." Interim Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Vivki Golich compared the services offered by the threatened Educational Opportunity Program at CSUSM to those of an Ivy League school. She said that due to its counseling and tutoring services, the EOP here has been largely successful at raising retention rates.

The smaller the class size, the more individual attention each student can receive. In theory this works, but is there a dangerous side effect slowly working its way to the surface, one that is reminiscent of the not too distant past, of say, high school. Disruptive students, the ones who talk about plans for the weekend, what they're going to do or anything that diverts attention from what the professor is teaching. Everyone experienced it in high school, but as mature adults in a state university, it's unlikely anyone will receive detention or a trip to the dean's office. Is it something that's simply a part of human nature or are students showing less respect than they used to towards teachers. "It happened this morning in accounting, it's disruptive, (and) it's rude," said Rico Gutierrez, junior HTM major. Jennifer Diaz, junior, business "exactly" agreed with Gutierrez's comment regarding Erik G uevara classroom pests. "I get up early," Gutierrez explained. "It's not that I want to be here early, but I'm here, and these people disrespect the class. Everyone here's older, it's not like high school. Can't you just be quiet?" Vicki Baiandourian, junior, communications said, "Well.. .1 don't like it, but it doesn't bother me as long as I can hear the instructor. If people around me are talking, I ask them to be quiet." Meeting one of 'those' students, the student who is actually guilty of discussing that guy they'd met at someone's house, or the thirty six beers they thought they drank, could prove to be difficult, after all no one wants to admit they are guilty of annoying others. Erik Guevara, SSM junior gave a sheepish grin and a reluctant admittance to sometimes forgetting to put his cell phone on vibrate mode. Regarding students talking in class Guevara said, "They should go outside, or talk about it later. I think it's disrespectful to talk during class. When I do talk, it's about a class related subject."

Examining Black History Month By LORIANN SAMANO Pride Staff Writer J ennifer Diaz Different classes sometimes require different approaches in classroom decorum. Granted, talking about the weekend isn't one of them, but many times students get in sidebar conversations about class while the professor is teaching. Jason Padilla, senior communications said, "I think its okay (sidebar conversations while the professor is speaking) in certain classrooms. It's not a bad thing for students to talk amongst each other if the subject requires or demands it." Therein lies the crux. Some majors beg for conversation, because without it, they almost cease to function. Any communications professor will tell you that 'noise' plays a big part in receiving or sending a message. As long as that noise is conducive to sending and receiving, play on, otherwise, the process breaks down. "Other classes, it's inappropriate, like a math or sociology class," said Padilla. "(In) a communications class, we're all masters of mass media; it's hard not to communicate."

Sitting at the Black History Month Breakfast, on the CSUSM campus, I looked around at a room full of different people who gathered together to have breakfast, support Black History Month and enjoy the company of other students, staff and faculty who support the same ideas. As I sat there eating, and enjoying the conversation in which I was surrounded, I began to wonder how and when this recognition of Black History Month began. The celebration of Black History Month is accredited to the study of black history by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Raised in Kentucky by his parents, who were former slaves, he graduated from high school, and went to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. Dr. Woodson, while studying, found that history books greatly ignored black Americans and were only reflected in inferior social positions that they were assigned at the time. Dr. Woodson decided to write black Americans into the nation's history. He established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in 1915, and a year later founded the Journal of Negro History. In 1926 he launched Negro History Week, now called Black History Month, as a way to bring national attention to the contributions of black people throughout American history. February was chosen as Black History Month because it marks the birthdays of Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men who greatly influenced the black American population. February also marks other important dates throughout black history such as the birthday of W.E.B. Du Bofs, Feb. 23, 1868. Du Bois was an important civil rights leader and co-founder of theNAACP. The 15th Amendment was passed Feb. 3, 1870, granting Blacks the right to vote. The first black U.S. senator, Hiram R. Revels, took his oath of office Feb. 25, 1870. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded by a group of black and white citizens in New York City Feb. 1, 1960. And Malcolm X, the militant leader who promoted Black Nationalism, was shot to death by three Black Muslims Feb. 21, 1965. After learning all these facts, I had a better appreciation and understanding of all of those involved at the CSUSM Black History Month Breakfast. The Black National Anthem sung by Ruby Udeh, the keynote speaker Dr. Edmond Heatley, entertainment from the Black Student Union, who delivered works by Maya Angelo, Lameka Ingram and Anthony Blacksher, as well as a reading by Honey Folk, the ASI president, and Amazing Grace sung by Kimberly Oliver. "Knowledge is the key but only when you share it," said keynote speaker Dr. Edmond Heatly. "To stay free, stay educated." Democratic club builds membership By TOR FREED Pride Staff Writer Politics are not just heating up in the news; it's starting to get a little warmer on campus thanks to the formation of the new Democratic club. Started by Dustin Lacasse, it was only a matter of time before the existing Republican club had a little competition. According to Lacasse, that was the primary reason for founding the club. "I wanted another voice on campus, to counter the Republican rhetoric," Lacasse said. It goes deeper. Dustin said he strongly believes in the values of the Democratic Party and does not believe the Republican Party promotes equality. "This country as a whole has a lot of problems and I think every- one should be treated equally," Lacasse said. He also wanted to spread the message of what the Democratic party is about, what it stands for and how it can make a difference in this country. Lacasse said wants the fledgling club to work with other student clubs on campus to let them know what the Democratic party is about and how it can address their needs. Thefirstpriority of the Democratic club is to build itiynembership. Currently there are seven members but Lacasse does not want that to be confused with lack of interest — many students work when the club meets or have class. He wants to point out that even if students cannot make the club meetings they should still e-mail him and he can keep them informed. After membership, building Lacasse wants to hold a public forum where they can spread the message of the Democratic Party, particularly before elections. "We'd love to have a debate against the Republican club, anytime," he said. Currently the club meets on Tuesdays at 4:30 p.m. in ACD 405, but in the future that will change to Thursdays at 5:30, location is still to be determined. "I just want people to know, if they want something to change they need to get involved and the best way for students to do that is through a student club," Lacasse said. Students interested in information or about joining can e-mail Lacasse at lacas001@csusm.edu. �SPORTS Tuesday, February 24,2004 7 Jock Talk with Josh How much is too much?

I would like to say I 'm a hopeless romantic and I was sobbing because Carrie and Big finally got together. However, the truth is, I am so sorry to see my beloved Sex And The City (SATC) end! The four women on Sex And The City; Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have changed the perception of single women forever. The life of a single woman has always been pretty much the same throughout the past decades. What SATC did was change the popular definition of what being a single female really is. Before SATC came along, the popular perception of a single woman was that of a lonely girl whose sole purpose in life was to find a husband. Now that image has been shattered for good. The show gained most of its momentum in the first season when it revealed to the world that single women do have sex...and they talk about it too! The unattached female is closer to the playboy bachelor than was ever expected in mainstream television. I became a devoted fan of the show as the women started to grow and evolve. The best part about the four characters was they were not stereotyped into a specific category. Each fulfilled the virgin/whore role at specific times in their lives. For the first time on television, women were having conversations similar to the ones I was having with my friends. It also BEER N UTS By: opened up new topics to discuss with your nearest and dearest. Socially acceptable "girl talk" now ranges from orgasms, vibrators, oral sex, to the more serious impotency and infertility. One of my all time favorite episodes was when Charlotte consulted the other girls in a taxicab regarding the very important "up-the-butt" decision. I was so shocked that four sophisticated women in designer clothes were so freely talking about such a taboo subject. Correction, used to be taboo. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have displayed the real single women against the marvelous backdrop of Manhattan. Real woman meaning they have real careers, real friendships, real problems and real sex. Yes, the wardrobe was very unrealistic, but the eye candy was great. The show has also been a great source of information for men. No longer is just having a penis qualification for being a significant other. Single women now have much higher expectations.

Surprisingly, In the face of my own glaring contradictory statement^ I did not receive one reader query demanding clarification, Nevertheless, one of my cohorts was kind enough to alert me of my error and I would like to apologize for my own mistake.

The Pride has grown this semester to 12 pages and has expanded to include a sports page. Couple these improvements with the wide range of stories we are covering and I believe that The Pride is gaining strength and maturing as a reputable newspaper, But, again, what do you all think? Please, let me know. My e-mail is dolan005@csusm.edu. Corrections f or VCML X l No, 18 The caption for Sarah Garten's photograph on the front page has the word "tattoo" misspelled twice. Also, on the front page preview bar, the reference to Dan Brown's "The Da Vinci Code" should be "make believe" not "make b elief" On page 9, the tide "Two reporters ask the tuff questions: Was it too much?" has the word "tough" misspelled. In that same article, the pie graph has the word "neutral" misspelled. The Pride regrets these mistakes and any inconvenience they might have caused.

Students of San Marcos, Let me first start off by saying that I am not here to discredit or bad mouth our new President Haynes. But did you know she gets a whopping $203,376 a year and on top of that she also gets a $36,806 housing and car allowance. I am not upset about her salary because she has earned it, but I am upset with her allowance. There is no need for an allowance when our state is in a budget crisis and our school has no money. It seems a bit greedy to me. Everyone who lives in the United States knows that California is in some serious troublefinanciallyand that money is very scarce. The area in which cuts were made the most was in education and some how President Haynes still manages to get an allowance. With her new allowance, she already bought a new Acura (Grey) with all the luxuries. Either way we as students or tax payers are paying for her allowance and new Acura. Anyone want to go for a ride? Also she writes books and I am sure that there is some money coming in from that, so financially she is ok and lives a modest life. Then why the allowance? Her allowance should be spent a bit more wisely. For example it can go towards our new parking structure, better food (restaurants) and scholarships so that we can attract more students to CSUSM. Or better yet, why not to schools who are in desperate need offinancialsupport so that our youth can get a better education? Isn't the future of the world children? I think so and not a new Acura. For information about our new president you can log onto signonsandiego.com and go under education. Then in the search engine type Cal State San Marcos and you will find all the info about her. Tone Capone 9 On March 5, 2004, CSUSM will celebrate the grand opening of the Kellogg Library by having a Luiseno blessing performed by Chris Devers. In light of other events in this country, a Judge ordering to remove the Ten Commandments from the Court House; City and County councils ordered to remove the Ten Commandments from Public lands; now prayer is prohibited in public schools. So one must wonder why a religious official is allowed to perform this event at a Public school. I have nothing against the Luiseno people or their religion; I merely think that if the State of California, through CSUSM, is going to perform a religious act at the official grand opening of a public building, they should provide an opportunity for all religions to have their representatives present to perform blessing as well. Sanctioning an act by only one religious official gives the appearance of officially "respecting an establishment of religion" in direct violation of the 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the California Constitution, Article I, Section 4. President Haynes should take the responsibility of inviting religious officials from all religions in the area to join in this blessing, or discontinue the singular recognition of the Luiseno blessing. Stan Johnson BA Communication CSUSM Alumni 2003 B lack h istory m onth n ot c elebrated e nough a t C al S tate S an M arcos By Mark Penetra Pride StaffWriter The month of February is Black History Month. One month is set aside to commend and honor our fallen black leaders and to show our appreciation for the legacy they left behind. I did not see too many articles on Black History Month in the local newspaper. Therefore, I decided to get some feedback on what Black History Month means to students on campus. I also wanted to discuss the benefits they have received from these civil rights leaders. I spoke to Susan Loeber, a junior majoring in sociology, and asked her to state her views on Black History Month. She said it was important to her but she did not think that there was enough awareness. She said that perhaps the instructors should talk more about it in the classroom and give some background and information about some of our black civil rights leaders. This will enable students to be informed and will raise awareness. Danielle Storek a freshman majoring in Communication said she did not hear much buzz on campus about Black History Month. She is aware, however, of black leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who gave his life fighting for equality for all minorities. She said it would be great if The Pride could feature a black leader in the papers weekly to help promote black history awareness or if the school can invite black leaders to come and speak on campus. From the interviews I conducted on campus, it was evident to me that Black History Month isn't taken seriously on campus. I came away with the impression that the civil rights leaders' struggles and hardship they endure have been forgotten like yesterday's garbage. In America, we have a tendency to be non-chalant and take freedom for granted. Not too long ago during the Civil War did we have brothers killing brothers as North and South fought over freedom for the slaves. Then May 17, 1954 in the case of (Brown v Board of Education), a young black fifth grade student from Topeka Kansas named Linda Brown was denied admission into a white elementary school. Thurgood Marshall a black lawyer and head of the NAACP took this case to the Supreme Court saying that Photo courtesy of www.time.com/time racial segregation in public school violated the laws of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Supreme Court agreed and this decision became not only the turning point in desegregation of public school but also a beginning to equality among all races. Today this benefit can be seen through the school system, public and private, as we are becoming more and more diverse. This decision ended the (Plessy v Ferguson)case of 1896 of equal but separate. Other benefits we are enjoying today is the right of minorities to vote, to sit where we like on public transportation and the list goes on and on and on. The point is that Black History Month should never be allowed to have its fire flickering. Its fire should be burning with intensity as we remember our fallen comrades who suffered persecution so that we may have a better foundation in life. �American teens abroad make for big laughs in 'Eurotrip' By KIMBERLY SCHLATER Pride Staff Writer "Eurotrip," a film by the creators of "Road Trip" and "Old School," was met with much anticipation at a recent press screening. The story begins on graduation day. Scotty (Scott Mechlowicz) and his best friend Cooper (Travis Wester) decide to blow off their European trip to intern for the summer. After Scotty's girlfriend breaks up with him the trip is back on so Scotty can meet his German Pen pal Mieke (Jessica Bohrs). The boys take a journey through London and Paris. While in Paris, Scotty and Cooper meet up with their friends, Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and her twin brother Jamie (Travis Wester). Then they're off to Amsterdam and on to their final destination, Rome, where Scotty hopes to meet Mieke for the first time. The film is filled with non stop comedy and laughter as the four get a taste of the European lifestyle. This film will make you want to go home and plan your own "Eurotrip."

Pride Dr. K r ocks t he mic while Living Large in t he L ounge. This last Wednesday at noon, the Student Lounge roeked to a different tune as they held their biweekly session of karaoke they call Living Large in the Lounge. The display of singing was certainly a sight to see, and definitely worth the warm welcome of free pizza and soda. It was an unusual picture on campus. It was a hilarious display as a student who calls himself Dr. K was singing RUN D.M.C.'s top hit, "It's Tricky." Dr. K was pure comedy. While most people pummeled through the pizza boxes, casually taking seats on the sofa playing video games, and talking and laughing amongst each other, others contributed to Dr. K's act by jumping and dancing to the music. Dr. K said, "They call me Dr. K I don't know why. It might have something to do with the fact that I work on video games and build home music systems." For whatever reason Dr. K received his alias, it was obvious that he was proud of his identity and loved the microphone. The enthusiasm in the Lounge was con- tagious and other students sang as well. Ashley Mistak, A.S.I, director of educational programming, and James Coleman sang a duet to Aerosmith's "Dream On." Mistak said that she enjoys Living Large in the Lounge for the networking. "A.S.I, is all about networking. That's why I love my position. I am able to promote the opportunity for idea sharing to everyone." Brett Gladys, the social programming director for A.S.I., said, "School sucks if you just come and go." It may not be as "tricky," as Dr. K emphasized in Run D.M.C.'s song, to spare an additional hour on campus to meet new people, enjoy a good laugh, and eat free food.

Photo by Sarah Carlin/77ze Pride Photo by Sarah Carlin/77ze Pride CSUSM CALENDAR •mm By SARAH CARLIN Pride Staff Writer Walking up to Smitty's Downtown last Thursday, a friend and I were greeted by women with big hair smoking cigarettes and men, slightly drunk and a little loud. Past the payphones in the entryway, past the bar flies and the blue pool tables, we took a seat at one of the candle-lit tables. "Go get the book," I said. We were here for our fix, our karaoke fix. Smitty's Downtown, located in old downtown Vista on the corner of Santa Fe and Broadway, is a place "where good friends meet," as their sign boasts. The karaoke junkie can satisfy his or her needs, seven nights a week from 9 p.m. until closing. Smitty's has the best selection of songs; they've got everything from AC/DC to ZZ top, Skid Row to the Spice Girls. Anita, the heavy-metal goddess who DJs karaoke Sunday and Monday nights, has her own personal stash, provided for only those who are worthy of the rock. Sometimes if you are lucky enough Anita will sing DIO's "Holy Diver," and she sings it just like Ronnie James. "Ooh, ooh...To hold me, to scold me, cause when I 'm bad, I 'm sooo bad," sang Tuesday, February 24,2004 11 Linda, who comes to Smitty's with coworkers at least a few times a week, from "Last Dance," helping us all remember that disco just won't go away. Sally sang Three Dog Night's "Mama Told me Not to Come." It made me think Aretha Franklin had died and was reincarnated in Sally. "Stormin Norman, come up and sing your first song of the evening," the DJ said. "We've got Sarah on deck." Stormin' Norman sauntered through the crowd, wearing a ten gallon hat, Wrangler jeans and a rodeo belt buckle. Elvis returned to his country roots that night with Stormin' Norman's version of "Viva Las Vegas." "Sarah, come up and sing your first song," the DJ said. As I walked toward the stage my body felt a sudden rush of adrenaline. I picked up the microphone and I played the airkeyboard as the white letters spelling out the words to The Animals' "House of the Rising Sun" came up on the monitor. This may be a hard habit to break, and until I find the willpower, I may need to continue getting my fix by entertaining my adoring fans. 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. Black History Month Soul Food Luncheon, admission $10 students, $15 faculty/staff, Clarke Field House.

Or so it would appear. In actuality, these three make up an amazing blend of musical talent known as Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio. The trio graced CSUSM's Performance Hall Feb. 16 with a 40 minute entourage of acoustical medleys. You could feel the energy emanating from the artists in the intimate theater where three rows of chairs were set up less than 10 feet from the performers for the sold out show. Vista resident Mark O'Connor has been composing since the age of thirteen, and is internation- ally acclaimed for his ability to mix classical violin with the raw abandon of fiddling. His body pulsed to the beat of his quick and clever strokes of the fiddle. With amazing slack in the flexibility of his right arm, O'Connor's bow sailed across the metal strings of his instrument with seemingly effortless accuracy. Standing in the middle was double bassist Jon Burr, who held his massive standing bass against his shoulder. Holding down the correct chords with his left hand, his right hand seemed to bumble clumsily to pluck the thick strings. The swift and responsive tempo he maintained, however, Photo by courtesy of Mark O'Connor's Hot Swing Trio Mark O'connor, J on Burr and Frank Vignola bring local music of international acclaim to Cal State S an Marcos. was anything but clumsy. At the right of the trio sat guitarist Frank Vignola, whose nimble fingers stroked and plucked the strings to the delight of the audience's ears. With consummate accuracy he strummed out the tunes with his buddies, closing his eyes often as if the music were part of his soul. Taking cues from one another, the trio recreated classics like "Fascinating Rhythm" and brought poignant originals like Local band P.O.D rock a sold-out show at Cox Arena "Anniversary" to life. CSUSM was just a short stop for the Hot Swing Trio who will continue with performances across the country in the next few months. Remedy Motel to play in San Marcos Photo courtesy of P.O.D. By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Payable On Death aka P.O.D. returned to San Diego on Tuesday, Feb. 17, for a sold-out show with Linkin Park, Hoobastank and Story of the Year. Playing at SDSU's Cox Arena, P.O.D. performed some of their most popular songs, as well as a few off their new self-titled album. As the only band out of the four from San Diego, P.O.D.'s performance was widely anticipated. Floor access tickets sold out on the first day they were available for purchase, and tickets on ebay.com were selling for upwards of $100 in the days leading up to the concert. Since P.O.D.'s inception as a punk-rock garage band in Chula Vista, lead singer Sonny Sandoval has helped propel the group into the international limelight. Before kicking off the current "Meteora" tour with Linkin Park, P.O.D. performed for several months in Europe to promote their new CD. Headlining last Tuesday's show, Linkin Park proved musically to be the best of the four bands at the show. With the majority of their performance coming from their hugely popular album, "Hybrid Theory," they were able to get the somewhat disengaged crowd on their feet for the entire hour and a half that they played. Linkin Park was also the only band to attempt a series of slower songs with a young, energetic crowd when co-lead singer Mike Shinoda brought out a piano towards the end of the concert to give Chester Bennington the opportunity to show off Photo courtesy of Linkin Park his impressive voice. Hoobastank and Story of the Year, while receiving polite applause and moderate audience interaction, played well enough to deserve the honor of opening for Linkin Park. The highlight of the concert came in the encore, when Linkin Park brought out the lead singers from the first three bands to perform "One Step Closer"—arguably their most popular song. While Linkin Park dominated the show with theirflashyperformance, Sandoval showed that he's still in touch with his home crowd while proving P.O.D. to be thè most downto-earth of the bands that played. Before finishing off their set with their well-known "Southtown," Sandoval brought over a dozen local children onto the stage to help sing "Youth of the Nation." He then directed the 5,000-plus sellout crowd in singing "Happy Birthday" to his nephew. The "Meteora" tour will move to the Midwest and the East Coast before returning for a last show at the Great Western Forum in Los Angeles. While Linkin Park will most likely wait to begin their next series of concerts, P.O.D. has already announced plans to kick o ffa headline tour with Blindside in Denver on May 1 of this year.

Their sound is made up of Michael Stipe sounding vocals, Grateful Dead reminiscent guitar and a Counting Crows-esque college radio friendly sound. Originally from Utah they have been warmly welcomed and adopted by the SoCal surfer scene since they settled in Oceanside four years ago. The band is made up of Mica Johnson doing vocals, Mike DiGregorio on bass, Nate Semerad and Shawn Ryan on guitar and Tim Haren on drums. They will be playing for their fans at San Marcos' new hot-spot The Blvd this Friday night.

Gibson's movie has a lot of people talking and some controversy surrounding it. CSUSM Junior Erick Pettersen, a member of Priority Christian club said, "I appreciated that while Gibson was modest in his portrayal of the brutality Christ experienced, he also effectively used dramatization to accentuate both the reality and spirituality of Christ's life." The controversy, he said, "is the same old debate that has been going on for the past 2,000 years. The problem is that people are so used to ignoring the truth that when they are slapped upside the head with it they tend to point fingers. The question isn't 'Who Dunnit?' The question is 'Oh my God, what have I done?'" CSUSM Junior Sarah Koefod said, "It was different than what I expected but it was good. For the most part Gibson did have some outside sources but everything was pretty Biblical and accurate. It was like watching the Gospels in order.

Schwarzenegger's recently proposed increase in higher education student fees, UC and CSU students are expected to experience further increases in future years by as much as 10 percent annually. In Gov. Schwarzenegger's Jan. 9, 2004-05 Budget Summary, he stated that, "to ensure sufficient flexibility to address unforeseen fiscal needs, the administration proposes that the state policy provide sufficient flexibility to increase fees annually by as much as 10 percent." In lieu of a reduction of $311 million from a CSU general f und allocation of $2.4 billion, the governor assured California residents that, "to ensure public university students are protected in the future from dramatic fee increases as a consequence of declines in general f und resources, the Administration proposes to establish a longterm fee policy to ensure future fee increases are both moderate and predictable."

MARCOS pages 2&3 page 5 page 6 pages 7&8 happened 2000 years ago to real life and making it authentic, relevant and more understandable." Koefod said, " I would recommend the movie to anyone. I cried and so did my youth group." Ideally it would take four years to graduate from a university; however, some students may have to wait six or seven years to get their degree if things go as planned for the governor's 2004/2005-budget proposal. The California Faculty Associations (CFA) of all the CSU schools are currently working together to put a stop to the budget cuts that could potentially cut more lecturers. Lecturers are those who teach on campus that are not of the tenure-line faculty. Lecturers support the tenure-line faculty by providing nearly half the teaching on CSU campuses, therefore releasing tenure-line faculty to pursue research and other scholarly obligations. Of these lecturers, which make up almost 50 percent of the teaching of CSU classes, 90 percent are on a part time basis, which means that neither service nor longevity can shield them from losing See LECTURERS, page 2 Skateboard makers sending manufacturing to China By ROGER NARANJO Pride StaffWriter Made in the USA or made in China? The skateboarding industry has arrived at a very serious crossroad, and might be forced to either clash or follow a new era in overseas skateboard manufacturing in order to keep up in such a competitive market. The announcement came when Chop Chop Wood Shop, of Dwindle Distribution, under the direction of Rodney Mullen, revealed their plans to send manufacturing overseas to China in mid 2002. Chop Chop Wood Shop is supposed to be a state of the art manufacturing plant that outperforms the average deck manufacturer in the United States, with respect to quality and consistency, as well as price.

Qualifying lowincome students will continue to be eligible to receive federal Pell Grants and Cal Grants, and California's higher education segments will continue to provide financial aid to needy students." Despite efforts to identify a thematic rationale concerning Schwarzenegger's budget reduction proposals, the governor's office failed to respond to recent repeated inquiries for such purpose. Such dismissal of students' pursuits of knowledge from their legislators bears significant implications with respect to the governor's regard for state education and its students. The future welfare of the democratic state as a whole may be questionable when elected officials fail to heed responsibilities, such as accountability of information, to the citizens they govern. Nonetheless, the governor's Budget Summary revealed administrative priorities and rationalizations concerning its policies. their community college fees waived," he said. Regarding his new policy governing excess units, he proposed to eliminate subsidies for UC and CSU students taking an excess of 110 percent of the total units required to earn their degree. "This change will help "Given c urrent fiscal c onstraints, u niversity ensure students graduate in a timely manner, and minimize a ccess c annot b e the cost to the state," he said. g uaranteed f or a s Such dramatic shifts in fee m any s tudents a s i n policies may come as a general t he past." r -Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger esult of the relatively large percentage of the state general The governor proposes to fund that constitutes education, reduce enrollment of new meaning that it may absorb cuts UC and CSU freshmen by 10 more readily than less resilient percent, redirecting students to areas of funding. community colleges, to transfer For fiscal year 2004-05, to a UC or CSU upon completion higher education expenditures of requisite lower-division comprise $8.7 billion, or 11.4 units.

To students this means a reduction in the number and type of classes available, the possible elimination of entire programs, prolonged graduation and less one-on-one time with professors (including office hours). In addition, if Governor Schwarzenegger's cuts take effect, students would experience a reduction in student services such as counseling, reductions in libraries, and an increase in fees with a reduction of access tofinancialaid, and reduction or possible elimination of student success programs, such as EOP. One program at CSUSM being strongly affected by the budget cuts is the Women's Studies program. Only two tenure-track faculty, with the assistance of five lecturers, operate the entire Women's Studies degree. With one tenure-track faculty out on maternity leave, Linda Pershing associate professor, is left to do a lot of the administrative work, as well as serve as an advisor to both the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and a new Women's Studies Honor Society (Iota, Iota, Iota). "It is ironic that the program is offering so many events for the campus, yet we receive so little institutional support," said Pershing. This upcoming fall semester, if the budget goes through after the March election, the Women Studies major will be cut from fifteen courses to five. "Budget cuts hit our department especially hard," Pershing said. "Small and interdisciplinary programs suffer especially because we don't have a number of faculty to fall back on, and we have to rely on other departments to offer classes relating to our major." According to CFA analyst Andy Lyon's research brief, if the Governor's budget goes Schwarzenegger explained that, "access remains a high priority for the administration. However, given current fiscal constraints, university access cannot be guaranteed for as many students as in the past." LECTURERS from page 1 their jobs. Mayra Besosa, the CFA union lecturer representative at CSUSM, summed up a LaborManagement Council meeting that took place on Feb. 3, where it was said that the University Budget Committee must work with the University Planning Committee to ensure that vertical cuts occur outside the instructional budget. Besosa explained that this would allow, "instruction and program development to receive top priority." In contrary to what was stated at the meeting, the departments are planning to apply their cuts by reducing considerably or eliminating their lecturer faculty. To the professors that this will affect, this means a loss of a job. For the remaining faculty this means an increased workload, larger class sizes, and — H£lP-- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ A ¿F H P"! 277 S.

These cuts are spread over all CSU campuses; but are equal to entirely closing the three largest campuses (SDSU, CSU Long Beach, and CSU Northridge), resulting in 20,000 qualified students being turned away in the upcoming academic year. 5,000 applicants were turned away during the 2003/04 school year. Lyon's statistics show that there will be a total of $239.7 million in reduced state funding for the CSU. This causes a large increase in student fees by about 10 percent for undergraduates and 40 percent for graduate students. "All of us—students, faculty, staff and administrators—need to be responsible citizens, active members of the community, and join the campaign to save our university.

The marathon began with Genesis and ended with Revelation and the words, "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." Club members, students, staff and faculty signed up for reading slots and read from 7: 00 in the morning through 9:00 in the evening Monday through Thursday last week in front of Kellogg Library. Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister said the event was in memory of Kay Meredith, who past away last April. Meredith worked in the College of Education as a credential specialist. She headed to China with her husband for the third time but Photo by Nicole Sullivan/77ze Pride Ruby Udeh (left) and Ashle Baker, both juniors, read out of Acts on Thursday. became ill with a rare disease and passed away six weeks later, "She was an inspiration and a light, she touched lives wherever she went," said Bran. On the right hand corner of the table sat a place card in Meredith's memory. This was the club's third annual marathon. Bran said, "The purpose is to create dialogue about the Bible and for people to ask why we believe what we do. This marathon was perfect timing for the movie "The Passion.' People have come up and asked us what we think about the movie and even about Ash Wednesday and we have been able to talk to them about that." "The Bible is a best seller and the most influential historical book out there," said club officer Kimberly Lazenby. "And we want to extend that invitation to read the Bible to everyone." Throughout the event, the Bible was read in Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, Hebrew and Chinese. "Local bookstores and churches donated Bibles so the club could hand them out. We easily gave away fifty Bibles. People would just come up and ask for them," Bran said. This was the first marathon involving Priority Club President David Rollingson, who said, "We have seen nothing but positive, there has been no ridicule, just thankyou's and asking why we are doing it." Many people signed up from the College of Education. Track and Field coach Steve Scott, faculty advisor Dr. Karno Ng- Alston from Hong Kong, Virgian Hughes from the Rudy Sahagun (left) and Yoko Suzuki, of the CSUSM Priority Christian club, read their Bibles during the marathon. Sahagun read in Spanish and Suzuki in Japanese. Photo by Nicole Sallivftn/The Pride Admissions office and many others came and read in support of the event. The North County Times wrote an article about the event and the rainbow that showed up on campus after the rainstorm Monday morning. The rainbow came at the same time a student was reading the passage about Noah's Ark. Some readers said they just kept reading and the time went by so fast they did not even realize it. Rollingson said, "I read for three hours, but my focus was on the Gospels and the Bible and I pray that the voice of God is spread throughout this campus because of this event." Thursday night at 8:30 p.m., the event ended and a celebration began. Kathy Atuna, from Disabled Student Services came and danced a Messianic type worship dance while Kasandra Miller, the club's administrative president, worshiped with flags, and students sang praise and worship music. The club normally meets on Thursday nights in room 240 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and they extend the invitation to anyone who wants to check out the club. c » fs|v Silfi 1 11 ¡ B i l i l l l H Mmmmmrnrri'-' ¡mm • wL.I^V >..

These aren't your ordinary blow-up dolls. Abyss Creations have created "RealDoll," a life-like human version of any fantasy or desire; the dolls look so real, the illusion may even fool Houdini. Abyss Creations have been producing and selling RealDoll, lifelike sex dolls, since 1996. A year later, they received national attention on the Howard Stern show. Stern applauds the dolls as, "Best sex I ever had! I swear to God!" Television audience members may often spot one of the dolls in the backdrop of his show. From head to toe, customers are allowed to customize their doll, starting with the head type, body type, hair color, hairstyle, eye color and even getting as technical as make-up, fingernail color or having the doll's tongue pierced. Customers can build their ideal physical significant other. These dolls have a price tag far exceeding Barbie's, and at about six grand a pop, the pink corvette and inviting Skipper over for dinner, might be out of the question. Currently, there are nine bodies and fourteen faces for the female version of the doll. One male doll does exist, but he costs one thousand dollars more than the female model. Multiple varieties of the male doll are in expansion for later this year. "These are the Bentleys of the sex toy industry," Shelly Couture, media relations' manager of Abyss Creations said. "Each doll is fully articulated and solid, undoubtedly a piece of art." What makes RealDoll different from your average blow-up doll at F-Street is the quality. RealDolls are made of silicone rubber, for a texture that looks and feels similar to human skin. The actual silicon rubber is tasteless, odorless, and a special compilation made by Abyss Creations. In an effort to make the feminine version more realistic and authentic, RealDoll breasts are made of a special formulation of silicone that has a gelatinous consistency. Abyss Creations claim the special silicone gel gives the woman's breast a life-like look, feel, and bounce. Using cured silicone rubber, which is dry, the breast will never leak. Even the flexibility of the dolls has enough mobility to put a yoga instructor to shame. The joints are made of steel and rotate up to one hundred eighty degrees, so even at the most intangible position, the RealDoll remains firm yet flexible. Approximately one RealDoll is sold a day worldwide, and there isn't any particular type of customer. Customers range Photo by Eric Mercado/77z£? Pride RealDoll face glancing seductively before her head is placed on a body. All features of RealDolls are chosen from by the purchaser designing it. from people who appreciate art, to scientists and teachers. Some couples may choose the RealDoll as an alternative to indulge and enhance their sex lives. Abyss Creations is an independent retailer, with no affiliations, and customers must order directly from the company. Although one cannot buy these dolls at a local novelty shop, the dolls may be purchased online. The website, www.realdoll.com, provides detailed information of the RealDoll and offers information on other such novelties, such as Abyss' second biggest seller, the "Booby Ball," a.k.a. the stress ball. SKATEBOARDS from page 1 Photo by Rojer Naranjo/77*e Pride Ryan Muldowney, holds two decks at BBS Manufacturing, where he is an employee.

"You basically eliminate jobs, and the ones who benefit are the Chinese and the manufacturers." Overseas manufacturers claim the savings will be passed on to avid skaters and skate shops, however this is yet to be seen, since greed and profits tend to dictate actions in all aspects of business Ryan Muldowney, also an employee of BBS Manufacturing said, "We wouldn't be a manufacturer, we would be a broker to the Chinese." Currently, Chop Chop Wood Shop manufactures boards for Blind, Darkstar, Enjoi, Almost and World Industries. What is more deceptive is that these overseas decks will not have the "Made in China" imprint stamped on them. The two federal agencies regulating country of origin markings are the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and United States Customs (Customs). The FTC regulates all goods claiming U.S. origin, and Customs regulates all other country of origin markings. Without going into too much import export jargon, there are tests which need to be satisfied before you can proudly place the Made in the U.S.A. logo on any product The test states that goods "undergo a substantial transformation if, as a result of manufacturing and processing steps in this country (US), the imported goods lose their identity and are transformed into new goods having a new name, character; or use" so that no countryof-origin marking is required. In other words, if you receive rubber form Brazil and transform it into an American tire, the change done in the United States is substantial enough to no longer consider it foreign. This loophole allows Chinese decks to blend in with American made decks since American made decks did not need to label where they were manufactured, it was already known. This is not the case any longer. Skateboarding is an American pastime, a culture that other countries have "You basically eliminate jobs, and the ones who benefit are the Chinese and the manufacturers." adopted. All over the world in places like Brazil, London, France, Spain and even China, the demand for American manufactured decks is unequivocal. The business model still applies to this industry, and while the demand for certain brands drives sales, lowering the price of these brands will definitely increase sales volume until every skater in the park skates the same board. Shoppers are sure to find the complete deck with grip tape, trucks and wheels for a deal at $24.99. These changes in the industry could translate into skate shops becoming obsolete and ultimately being replaced with the Wal-Mart skateboard department. �Jock Talk with Josh Interview with golfer Stephanie Segura College sport scandals JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer By JOHN STUART Pride StaffWriter How long have you been playing golf, for fun, as well as competitively? I have been playing golf since I was about 10 years old (12 years now). I played in several junior golf events, but I mainly became serious about golf during high school. When I was in high school golf was not popular with girls at all. There wasn't even a girl's team at my high school. I played on a boy's team. That was an experience of its own. I always dreamed of playing on the collegiate level but I never thought I was good enough. But fortunately the title IX law with equality for female sports was issued the year I graduated, so that was the year that CSUSM decided to start a women's team. The head coach, here at CSUSM contacted me and wanted to meet me and have me come see the school. I was offered a great athletic golf scholarship and my collegiate career started. P hoto b y S arah Carlin/TZze Pride and where does CSUSM typically play or practice? As a team we practice all the time. We practice everyday. A lot of people do not understand that being on a golf team and playing collegiate sports is like working full time as well. Here at CSUSM we have one of the best practicing schedules anyone has ever heard of. Our golf coaches work hard to get us out on the golf course everyday to prepare us for our tournaments. We play four days a week. On Monday and Wednesdays we play 18 holes at 6:30 in the morning. Then we go to school in the afternoons. On Tuesdays and Thursdays we play from 1 p.m. till dark, and are expected to go to classes that morning. Every Friday we are in the gym at 7 a.m. for yoga, and then at the golf course again to practice our short game for two hours (putting and chipping).

The women's team consists of seven girls, where five girls travel for the tournaments. The men's team consists of approximately thirteen players. What do you enjoy about playing golf for CSUSM? CSUSM is a growing school, and I like the fact that the golf team is one way for people to get to know about the small university. We also get to play some of the best courses in southern California. Playing for CSUSM also means that we are chosen to represent the university at the intercollegiate athletic level. I am graduating this semester and I have been on the team for 5 years with one year of red shirting. I will be the first girl to ever enter as a freshman and graduate after playing every year on the team. I have had such a great experience with the girls on the team and all my golfing endeavors. I will never forget my amazing experience being on the women's golf team here at CSUSM. Photo courtesy ofCSUSM Women's GolfTeam Sex. Drugs. Alcohol. Scandal. These words have been all too common in topic of conversation anytime college football is brought up. Words that should not be associated with college football are now, sadly, a disgraceful part of the game. Famous head coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi, is known for saying, "Winning isn't everything, it is the only thing." College football programs are taking Coach Lombardi's words to an unprecedented level. College football is a huge source of revenue for universities. Millions of dollars can be earned by universities if the school can build a competitive football program. Therefore, football programs feel the need to do whatever possible to acquire the greatest talents around the world, even if they break the rules to do so. When high school football players are being recruited by universities, the young athletes go on recruitment trips to the university. Recruitment trips are designed for prospective student athletes to get a feel for the campus and the football program. The high school athletes are paired up with current members of the football team who serve as hosts. The host is given $30 to provide entertainment for the young athlete. Typically, the two will catch a movie or just play video games throughout the night. However, movies and video games are becoming less effective recruiting tools for the most sought after athletes. In a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, current San Diego State University (SDSU) running back Lynell Hamilton told the story of his recruitment trip to the University of Oregon. Hamilton said that he was offered alcohol, marijuana, and sex at parties that he was taken to during his visit. Hamilton did not want to participate in such activities so he decided to attend SDSU. That incident shined a spotlight on the University of Oregon (OU) and their recruiting practices. The spotlight on OU can not compare to the spotlight currently on the University of Colorado (CU). Recent accusations have surfaced that many women have been raped by CU football players. Three women in specific have filed a lawsuit against CU, stating that football players and recruits raped them at a party they attended. This infor- mation was made public several months ago. No action was taken against head coach Gary Barnett or his program until two weeks ago when another story surfaced. In 1999, Katie Hnida became the first female football player in CU history when she was given the position of placekicker. Hnida stated that she was harassed on many occasions by her teammates. She stated that several players exposed themselves to her. Hnida described a time where a player even rubbed his penis against her. She also said that she was groped and endured vulgar language throughout the season. Hnida said that one night while at a teammate's house while watching television a teammate got on top of her and raped her. Hnida has been criticized for not going public with this news sooner. Hnida has reiterated that she was afraid of what might have happened to her since she was not well liked by the team. She believed that head coach Gary Barnett would have dismissed her from the team since she says he did not care for her. In recent weeks, Gary Barnett has made his opinion well known on the topic of women in men's sports. Two weeks ago at a press conference, Barnett stated, "It was obvious Katie was not very good. She was awful. Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible. OK? There's no other way to say it." Barnett was placed on paid leave for the offensive comments and he will likely lose his job. Football traditionalists question what a woman is doing playing in the sport of men. I know of a time, way back in 1947, when baseball traditionalists questioned what a black man, by the name of Jackie Robinson, was doing playing in the sport of white men. It is without a doubt that Hnida and Robinson were both trailblazers who felt like they were alone in the world. Time will only tell if Hnida has a similar effect that Robinson had. Hnida is now the plackicker on the University of New Mexico football team. Last season she became the first woman to score a point in the history of college football. Hnida says she does not want to press charges against CU or against the former teammate that raped her. She just hopes to prevent this from happening to others.

It's worth the 100 mile daily drive By KIMBERLY SCHLATTER Pride Staff Writer Every Tuesday and Thursday morning, my alarm blasts a disturbing noise. It is 6 a.m. in the morning and I am beginning to think about my day that lies ahead. Ifiguremy day might seem a little brighter if I go back to sleep for a while. After forty minutes of extra rest, I push my snooze button one last time. I get up and realize that I have to be on the road in twenty minutes to make it to my 8:30 am class on time. After my twenty-minute rush of getting ready for school; I am finally get into myfreezingcar. I can barely see out my frosty windows, however that is o.k.. I know my twenty to thirty minute wait on the Balboa/Garnet, on-ramp in Pacific Beach and my almost fiftymile drive to Cal State San Marcos will give my car plenty of time to warm up. As I wait in the morning commute traffic, I wonder what freeway would be quicker and less congestive with traffic. To be certain of my decision I tune into Jagger and Kristi on 94.1 to check the traffic report. Not to my surprise is 1-15 backed up with traffic. So this morning I will be taking 1-5 north to the 78 east. The 1-5 freeway is a longer route to school but from previous commutes to San Marcos, I know that my journey to school is usually a quicker and smoother route. As I reach Carlsbad, I notice that the 78 east is just ahead. I cross my 1 1 1 H P !

As I reach Vista, I see no signs of traffic. Oh no, coming up toward Melrose Avenue, cars appear to be slowing down. Knowing my luck this traffic will go on until Rancho Santa Fe Road, possibly making me late for my 8:30 a.m. class. I check the time on my watch; it is already 8:15 a.m. I hope I make it butfromthe looks of the traffic, I do not think I will be making it to class on time. The 78 is just so unpredictable. Suddenly, the traffic begins to pick up. Now I am almost to Twin Oaks Valley Road. I have nine minutes until myfirstclass starts. To my very own surprise, I think I am going to make it just in the nick of time. As I drive into the Cal State San Marcos, parking lot. I think to myself, how worth the long, costly, time consuming and chaotic the drive up to Cal State San Marcos is. After all, I am not the only person that travels almost one hundred miles round trip to get to school. I know a handful of students at Cal State San Marcos that drive the same, if not more of a distance that I drive twice a week. Many students at Cal State San Marcos drive the far distance four to five times a week. It just proves that sometimes people, including myself, have to go that extra mile to attend a university that offers the students, up to date resources and a great faculty that Cal State San Marcos gives us. l it e s Prick Ombudsman A good balance of both hard news and feature articles characteristic of any newspaper.

While the information in that letter might startle or upset some of yotii, please remember to think critically about what you read there. Remember that in education, title and position are rewarded» As such, the status of being a university president is not without its benefits. In other words, we should not be appalled by these numbers when we have not yet had an opportunity to quantify the work that President Haynes has barely begun. Haynes is only just a few weeks in to the role of our president I think we should take the angle of seeing if we get our money's worth before we say we are paying too much. That is all for this week, I am encouraged by die responses that I am receiving and hope that many more are follow. Let me know what you really think of The Pride and what you want to see more of or less of in these pages. My email is doian005@csusm.edu.

California Center For the Arts, Escondido, Center Theater at 6:30 p.m. Monday. March 8 "Uterine Vinegar" with Pat Payne is a series of humorous performance vignettes that confront the medical industry's prejudices about mature women and their bodies. In the stories, a pair of sibling protagonists battle gynecologists, surgeons, selfhelp books, and feminist health centers, as they attempt to regain control of their reproductive organs. The sisters look at the continued pathology of natural female aging processes, and how these feminine ideals are played out in low income communities and communities of color. Although the subject matter is serious, the sisters' decidedly offbeat approach to their medical problems is delivered with a healthy dose of sarcasm and macabre imagination. Arts 111 at 6:00 p.m. All events are free of charge and open to the public. Seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Many of these events have been made possible by a Lottery Grant.

In this scene, Gibson clearly visualized for the audience how brutal and inhuman Jesus' death really was. Gibson makes the film even more authentic by having all the actors speak in the Aramaic, Hebrew or Latin. Whether you agree with the Gibson's story or not; it is undoubtedly a work of art that provokes an intense emotional feeling in anyone that views it. This movie is not anti-Semitic. I am not a theologian or an expert on Biblical Studies. At the end of film, I personally felt no negative feelings for those of the Jewish faith nor do I think the film was trying to convey that particular message. I woke up at least a dozen times last night. The constant waking up was not due to something I ate, or to go to the bathroom. The disturbance I was feeling was brought on by the film I had just seen earlier in the evening, Mel Gibson's new film, "The Passion of the Christ." The movie traces the last 12 hours of Jesus' life, starting at the beginning of his persecution and ending with his resurrection as it is portrayed in the New Testament. Unlike the previous films on this subject, the focus of Gibson's movie is Jesus' crucifixion, not his teachings. There are a few scenes in which the movie flashes back to Jesus' works; however, this is not the focus. Mel Gibson uses graphic images to guide the audience on this extremely emotional journey. There are several scenes in which Jesus is being beaten and abused. It would be an understatement to say this movie is "bloody." The photography combined with exceptional sound places the audience right there at the scene. At one point, I could feel myself twitching every time I heard the sound of a whip. I do not recommend this film to anyone under 17 without a parent or guardian present. The movie contains extremely violent and graphic images; it was hard for even me, a 27-year-old adult, to get them out of my head. After the movie concluded, I was shocked at the number of young teenagers that were walking out of the theatre. I give "The Passion of the Christ" 4stars. Gibson's passion for the movie shines through every scene. One specific part of the film, which I cannot get out of my head, Photos courtesy of Icon Distributins and New Market Films James Caviezel, a devout Catholic who refused to do a love scene in the movie "High Crimes" due to his religious beliefs, was touched from above by a lightning bolt during filming. CSUSM and The Center for the Arts host free play Photos courtesy of Larry Gus (Above and below) An all Native American cast acts out the violent history of the Cahuilla Indians. The history of the Cahuilla Indians and the extraordinary life of Tribal leader Katherine Siva Saubel on stage in Escondido. The CSUSM Arts and Lectures Series is presenting an original play written, directed and produced by Leigh Podgorski, entitled "We Are Still Here" at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido at 6:30 p.m., Thurs., Mar. 4. Admission is f ree and the event is open to the public. "We Are Still Here" is the story of Tribal Leader, Katherine Siva Saubel and the Cahuilla Indians of Southern California, told through original Cahuilla legends, narratives and scenes from Saubel's extraordinary life. Saubel is a respected tribal elder and scholar who has lectured internationally on the Cahuilla language and culture. She has served as executive director of the oldest Indian-owned and run museum and publishing house in North America and was recently inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. The Cahuilla Indians have been around more than 2,000 years. They inhabited the area from Borrego to Riverside, which is about 2,400 square miles. They are generally referred to as Mountain, Desert, and Pass Cahuillas. They are described as hunters. The men used bows and arrows, traps, throwing sticks and clubs as weapons. They hunted desert bighorn sheep, deer, antelope, rabbit, and other small mammals. The women gathered seeds, mesquite beans, pinion, acorns, cactus buds, chia, harvested the seeds of palm trees and many other plants. Not only did they gather food but they were also responsible for creating medicines and shelter. Their language of the Cahuillas is Uto-Aztecan or Shoshonean stock which is part of the same language family also shared by the Pauite. The Cahuilla located their camps near water and food. They also made baskets as well as pottery which they learned to make from their neighbors the Pueblos. There may have been as many as 10,000 Cahuillas before contact with the Europeans who in 1862 brought a small pox epidemic; after the epidemic only about 2,500 survived. Today there are about 290 registered Cahuillas as recorded by the tribal headquarters. Podgorski has written other plays, including "They Dance to the Sun," a trilogy that follows a Ute Indian family through a century of American history, and "Windstorm," a one-act play honoring Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, a champion for the rights of the dying.

So if you have not planned your spring break trip yet, you'd better hurry. Most CSUSM students are looking to vacation in a warm, exciting, and cheap spring break spot. So here are five that are exciting and reasonable. Mazatlan is known as the city of perpetual summers. With the longest uninterrupted beaches in all of Mexico, Mazatlan offers exciting water sports, great beaches, awesome parties, all night dance clubs, great shopping and great restaurants such as the Shrimp Factory and Shrimp Bucket. Mazatlan offers low cost shuttles, tour guides and taxicabs so you can check out some of the highlights of Mazatlan such as: the c liff divers, the Corona and Pacifico Breweries and Old Mazatlan where the old Mazatlan Cathedral is located. Mazatlan is an unforgettable spring break experience. When people hear about Cancun they automatically think of non-stop partying. Cancun is fourteen miles of beautiful coastline* with clear turquoise water and fabulous white sandy beaches. During the day you can enjoy the sights and sports that Cancun has to offer. Explore the Mayan ruins, snorkel, tour the jungles, swim with the dolphins, golf and enjoy exciting water sports like parasailing. There is also great shopping and restaurants in Cancun, and if you just want to relax, you can do so on the beach all day. The night life in Cancun is out of control. There are clubs and bars everywhere to ensure a vacation you will never forget. Get ready to kick up your feet and relax to some reggae music, because we are going to Jamaica man. Jamaica is a tourist paradise. Due to the overpopulated and poverty-ridden country, the best and safest resorts to vacation at are those like The Sandals and Beaches resorts. These resorts ensure a relaxing and exciting vacation. Plus, there is all you can eat buffets and bottomless drinks. For daytime excitement, these resorts offer snorkeling, parasailing, boating, booze cruises and c liff jumping. While in Jamaica, kick back, relax, and soak up the sun. For those students that wish to drive to a spring break destination here are two hot spots that are fun, cheap and only, a couple hours away from San Diego. See SPRING B REAK, page 2 (above; clockwise) Germany to Israel, to Spain, to Puerto Rico. We will take you to all these beautiful countries and explain the benefits and fun of venturing abroad this coming year. Photos by Sarah Carlin, Tor Freed & Elizabeth Bal<dwin/77ze Pride Pack right before you leave home ByCHADSHNKS £ride StaffWriter * - Whether you're planning to go back home to see the family, or planning to go to Beirut for the international marble players competition for spring break, chances are you need to pack. Don't worry, because packing for a trip is as fun as a toaster in the bath. Wait a minute, that's not fun—who am I kidding—packing sucks. But still, you need to be prepared. Let's go over some tricks of the trade. I heard that some of these tips have been passed down from ancient boy scout lore. But who cares, I never wanted to be a boy scout anyway. First o ff, bring a toothbrush. If you bring nothing but the clothes on your back and a toothbrush, you should be okay. When traveling, it's hard to receive help from someone if you are in their face with rotten breath, asking them where the nearest Motel 6 is. Along with a toothbrush, bring a razor If you like to pack heavier, however, you will need a bag. Anything with wheels is a plus. If traveling through airports, it's a must. If using a duffle bag, you can use duct tape to attach a skateboard to the bottom of the bag. It makes walking through the airport easier. You can attach a rope to the handle and pull it, or you can ride your bag like a sled (be careful of running in to the ankles of elderly people. This will often create an unwanted dramatic scene.) If you don't have a skateboard, it should be easy to acquire from a little brother or a friend's sibling. Maximizing space in your bag is a helpful practice. Rolling your clothes instead of folding them is a great way to save room and minimize wrinkles. Black colored shirts and pants go a long way on trips. You can get away with wearing a dirty black shirt for a couple days with no one noticing. White clothing will instantly become a magnet for coffee, See PACKING TIPS, page 2 �MY JOURNEY TO ISRAEL Editorial Staff Staff Writers Editors-in-Chief Elizabeth Baldwin Jonathan Rodley News Editor Tom Pfingsten features Editor Sarah Carlin A&E Editor Natalie Barham ChadSpinks Danielle Boldt Ombudsman Mike Dolan Business Manager Danika Quinones CÌi0W Editor Kimberly Oliver Distribution Adrian Cméìff .;,.....

Michelle Velarde Photos by Tor Freed/The Pride ByTORFREED Pride StaffWriter In a post 9-11 world, travel to the Middle East is not the way most Americans want to spend their vacation. Mention Israel and images of burned out buses, bombed restaurants and Merkava tanks rolling through the West Bank permeate our minds, it is a wonder anyone would go at all. It is a shame because, Israel, a country smaller than New Jersey, has more to see and do than most European destinations. Jerusalem is a great starting point and aside from how utterly beautiful it is one of its striking features is that every building is made of stone. In ancient times, it was believed Jerusalem was in heaven because it was always in the clouds and the long, steep ride from Tel-Aviv helps one tp understand this. Standing I n the old city, the view in any direction is breathtaking. Valleys and hills abound with neighborhoods and forests and it does not take too much to imagine you are back i n biblical times. Jerusalem has so much history and religious significance, it can be almost overwhelming. To avoid this, simply get lost in the old city and wander through the Armenian, Arab, Christian, and Jewish quarters. Take in the smell of aromatic spices and strong Turkish coffee that can be found everywhere. At some point, you will want to see the Wailing Wall, Judaism's third holiest site. It was the retaining wall to the second temple before the Romans burnt it down in A.D. 70. It is fascinating because on top of it lies the Temple Mount and the Al-Aqusa; Mosque, Islam's third holiest site. The Holy Church of the Sepulcher is right down the road; it was built at the spot where Jesus was nailed to the cross. The Brave traveler can also venture out to Yad Vashem, Israel's holocaust museum that is enormous and at times difficult. It's also where all visiting heads of state are brought. Tel-Aviv is completely different from Jerusalem. In this hundred-year-old city, you will feel like you are in Miami. There are modern high rises, fancy restaurants and very chic young people talking on cell phones wherever they go. There is a very long promenade on the beach where TelAviv sits and it is lined with restaurants, bars, and clubs where if you do not look good enough, you do not get in. Jerusalem feels like history and religion, Tel-Aviv screams party, which they do until seven in the a.m. There are tons of art galleries and historical museums. It's a fast paced town and the best way to see it is to just wander around and get lost. After all the history, museums and ancient ruins, it's time to just relax and head out to the port city o f Eilat. Only five miles wide, it sits in the red sea between Egypt and Jordan. Eliat is about beach bars and Vegas style hotels. The desert is right at its doorstep and riding a camel can be an interesting if not smelly adventure. Eilat also offers submarine tours and has an interactive dolphin park. The reefs in the Red Sea are some of the best in the world for diving and the water is warm and inviting with lots of tropical fish. Nightlife, it doesn't matter where you go, is cranking. This is a city of guilty pleasures. Israel doesn't require a visa for Americans and if booked in advance, round trip tickets can be around six hundred dollars. It is not the most popular destination but the exchange rate is good and there is a lot to do.

T U IA CHOICE from p a g e 1 TP • ' O F S A N M ARCOS salsa, ketchup, wine and numerous other staining agents once it leaves for vacation. Stick to black or dark clothing whenever possible. If flying, I advise anyone to avoid checking luggage on a flight unless they have to. A good trick to provide more carry-on room is to wear the bulkiest clothes on the plane. You spare valuable baggage room, and if you wear a large jacket with many pockets, you can stuff them with books, CDs, or more clothes. (Warning: you will have to empty out all contents of your pockets at the security checkpoint. Putting underwear i n your pockets might be embarrassing, but if you have an unusually amusing taste in underwear, go for it.) Know your clothes. Bring your most versatile outfits. Pack clothing that you can be comfortable wearing in hot or cold climates. Always check the weather of your destination. This can save a lot of hassle, but as we all know, weather forecasts can be wrong. Bring along at least one pair of clothes that would accommodate weather opposite of what the forecast says. Most importantly, have fun and be safe. --£AN HUP-- N 277 S. Rancho Santa Fe Road, Sulte S 3 blocks south of 78 -- I MPORTANT !

Unfortunately, that means most people only spend a day there and miss much Of what this exciting island has to offer. Everyone likes a tropical destination and Puerto Rico will not fail in that regard, but it also has a lot of history, a vibrant culture and all the modern amenities that people love. Puerto Rico has lots of mountains iathe center of the Island for hiking, world-class surfing in Rincón and even horseback riding. There are also excellent golf courses for those wanting a more 'Hawaiian' vacation. Whether you want a rugged, adventurous holiday, being a beach bum or clubbing in San Juan, it's all there. San Juan, the capital city of Puerto Rico, is really two parts. The main city has been built up, is very modern and serves as the banking center of the Caribbean. Here you'llfindtrendy cafés, fine restaurants and trend-setting clubs with some of the most beautiful people in the world. It's easy to take it all in, lounging on the beach, and then go clubbing at night. The old city was revamped in the early 90's to retain its traditional Spanish architecture. Here you'll find old buildings in bright colors and cobblestone streets—remnants of Spanish settlers who tried to make it like home. This is the place to be: most of the tourists don't frequent the bars here and you'll run into some really wonderful locals. At the end of the city is Old Fort Morro, a sprawling park that used to house cannons to protect the Island from invasion. Leaving the city and driving through the countryside is quite interesting, Things stop being so modern and become much more cultural.

It's not unusual to see roosters roaming about or wild yaks in someone's yard. The people are very laid back and the town is quiet, perfect for some rest and relaxation. Puerto Rico also boasts the highest point in the Caribbean, the Arecibo observatory. It's a bit of a drive to get there but the view is breathtaking and y o u can see much of the Caribbean for miles. While you're there, for those that like hiking there's a really interesting hike down into San Cristobal Canyon. it's literally a chasm in the middle of the Island that you can follow to an old quarry with great swimming. The vegetation is lush, and the waterfall at the end of the quarry is not to be missed, Puerto Rico has a few other interesting attractions as well. The Sea of Mayaguez has phosphorescent water. There are tour boats that go out at night and anything that touches the water sets off a natural light show because of all the algae. It's a f U n ride and unlike anything you'll ever see. The Luquillo beaches, a little east of San Juan, are some of the nicest anywhere. Long strips of clean white sand with public bathrooms and cafeterias make it very popular, since Puerto Rico is under the jurisdiction of the U.S., travel i s easy and the currency is the U.S. dollar.

The cheap answer is at the same tiijje the most honest: "I can't." In a quaint college town in the south of Germany was where I lived for an entire year. A s sleepy as the town felt most of the time, never have I felt as awake as I did living my life somewhere completely different to what I had known up to that point in my life. I could write about the endless churches and castles I saw during those twelve months, but the memory of the grocery store is what permeates most strongly. I can smell the fresh baked pretzels and the cheese. I remember my walk through the snow, down the bike path, past the yellow phone booth and the geese that would honk at passers by. The grocery store closest to my east-German-esque style living situation was the HL-Markt. This grocery store was unlike any major American grocery store; not SlB OUBlSCtt? only was hot, spicy food sometimes difficult to find, only: three check-out stands and a myriad of sausages, but a number of other things I had to become accustomed to. Take for. instance, when in the German grocery store, or farmer's market, one must not touch, feel or squeeze to test the ripeness of any fruit or vegetable. I found this out the hard way one morning while examining avocados at the market. "Was machen Sie!?!" said an older German frau. I was confused, dropped the avocado in the bin, and walked away a bit perplexed. Germans have a very stern language at times, and the approximate English translation of my encounter would be, "What the hell are you doing!?!" My grandmother, who is originally from Berlin, and currently lives in the Los Angeles area, just as she has for the past forty years, explained to me when she came to visit that Germans do not feel fruits or vegetables at the grocery store. She also explained to me that this was a benefit as she sees it to living in America: testing your produce prior to purchase. Another thing I could never get used to was the idea of standing in line at the store. There is no personal bubble, that space you own wherever you go, like there is here in America, that everyone else is keenly aware of. People breathe on you in line. You feel every exhale of the guy standing behind you on the back of your neck. After much aggravation I adapted. I couldn't change the people standing in the line, but I could change the way I was standing in line. I began placing the basket on the floor between my legs and standing over it sideways. I was happy not to be breathed on, and no one really noticed my change in position. Here, in America at the major market chains, consumers choose from ten different checkout stands at any given time, whether it's 4 a.m. or 12 p.m. If the line is three or more people long a new check stand opens and customers will ask the person next in line to go ahead. It took me a long time to get used to the German system of check stand lines. There was never, in my experience, a time when I was asked to go ahead because I would be the next person to be checked out. Instead, whoever could run, push or shove his or her way through the quickest was the winner. Photo by Sarah Carün/The Pride Cafe's line up the sidewalks in Germany. It took a very long time to get used to this. I thought everyone was just rude. I should have caught on sooner, but didn't really feel comfortable with the idea of bulldozing through shopping carts and baskets just to pay for my items first. A s time passed, after spending too much time in line, there was the revelation that I had been living in the country long enough that I should really attempt to fit in better. On one particular frosty December morning, the line was at least ten people long and there was only one check-out stand open. I saw from the corner of my eye a teenager, Fanta and chocolate in hand, waiting on the side for the new check-out stand to open. I slyly left the second to last spot in line and pretended to examine the chocolates. I watched the woman from the corner o f my eye take her seat at her cash register, and then swooped in with my basket of goods. I felt a little- guilty, like cutting in a line of cars by using the freeway shoulder—not that I would ever do that. I looked around as I placed my items on the conveyor belt to see the faces of my fellow shoppers, but there weren't any angry expressions on the faces of anyone in line. I had successfully made them think I was German. After this turning point, living in my cute college town was different. Instead of pin-pointing all of the similarities, or the differences between Tubingen and my hometown, I started living where I was, and stopped living somewhere in between the two. The shock & awe of a Spanish Bullfight By ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter The best part about traveling is the unexpected events that happen to you. I like to refer to these as "blessings in disguise" because these are the moments that will stay with you forever. On my way to Barcelona, Spain I got stuck in Seville. Getting stuck was really me not knowing I had to book a reservation and then finding out the trains were all filled up for the next three days. Seville is one of the best places I found in Europe. The people are extremely warm and friendly; the weather is a perfect 75 degrees; and the streets are clean and safe for walking around at all hours. On one of my walks around the city I came across an advertisement for a bullfight that would be taking place that day. I thought this would be a great opportunity for some cheap entertainment. Well it was definitely cheap, but way beyond entertaining. I had never been to a bullfight before and was so excited to see what one actually is like. m I found out quite soon that yes, the matadors do dress in the traditional costume that is depicted in movies. But one new detail that struck me in the heart was that the bulls are stabbed in the back before they even enter the ring. And to make the fight even less fair; there are about 4 -6 "helpers" out in the ring protecting the matador from the bull. A s I watched the battle from my ringside seat, I was shocked and amazed at the brutality of this popular Spanish sport. After the matador stabs the bull so much that the animal can barely move, he then makes a sort of flourish movement with his arm and finishes the bull o ff by sticking a sword Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/77ie Pride A bull gets led away f rom t he ring a fter being stabbed between the eyes by a victorious matador. the bull's eyes. At this point the whole stadium stands up cheering.. .for what I'm not sure. The "unforgettable" moment that I experienced at this event was when the fifth bull came out and during the socalled "battle", the bull skewered the matador with his horns. This was the most surreal image I have ever witnessed. I saw the bull literally stick his horns into the matador's right thigh and lower stomach...then lift the man entirely o ff the ground. I am not sure I can say that the bull won this fight...as soon as the man was taken away about six men came out and killed the bull. This seems very unfair to the bull. It was rough to watch a man get hurt, but it just seems so wrong to kill the bull if he wins the fight. I tried to find out the next day if the matador had died, but all the newspapers were in Spanish. I do not think I will ever go see another bullfight, but I will never forget the one that I saw. THF, PDTIÌF rKILIE Weputoutevery ��THE PRIDE SPECIAL EDITION What is it like to be an international student at CSUSM? Yoko Suzuki and Emily Ng explain what it is like to be a student so farfrom home By JASON ROBBINS Pride Staff Writer By CLAUDE SAYF Pride Staff Writer Being far from home is quite an experience. Being far from home in another country and not speaking the language can be terrifying. Yoko Suzuki is a 23-year-old senior from Kanagawa, Japan. She started her college career three and a half years ago at San Diego State University's English program. This program was for new students in the United States who needed to learn English quickly in order to begin college. Moving to a new country for school is a very adventurous thing to do. She felt only excitement when she got here. Living in San Marcos, she started at Palomar College getting her general education requirements out of the way. At that time she didn't have a motorized form of transportation, so she bought a bicycle and got around on it instead. Suzuki says that her bike became her best friend for the next year and a half as she rode it everywhere. After completing her general education requirements at Palomar. College she transferred to Cal State San Marcos. Her major is Sociology and she plans on using her degree to help children in need alt around the world. She aspires to work for organizations like UNICEF that help children. Suzuki believes -that because children are the future of the world, they must be cared for and provided with the same kind of education that she feels, so fortunate to have. Yoko appreciates her sociology professors because they have been so kind to her. They never have any quams about staying after class to help her or making extra time for her, she says. That type of concern and care is what she wants to share with others after college. And given the right opportunities, she will. It's not easy being away from her family, who own a sushi restaurant in Japan called Shige Zushi. Shige is her dad's first name and Zushi means sushi. It's a family-run business that her mom, dad, and grandfather work at . Suzuki's older sister is also away from Japan, working as a hairdresser in Sydney, Australia. Yoko had the opprtunity to spend last New Years with her in Australia. They had a wonderful time enjoying the ceremonies andfireworkstogether, she says. For Yoko, the experience of a college education in a far away land made her see how precious her life in Japan really was. She is able to look at her country from the outside in and see the good and the bad that Japan has to offer. When, asked what she thought about being away from her country she answered, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone." • How many ocean waves do you think break between Hong Kong and North America in a day? My estimate is about nine million; plus or minus ten million. While nine million is plenty, do these waves alone serve to propel dreams across the Pacific Ocean? Or does it take something else? In some cases all it takes is a degree from a California university and a messy serving of the English language. These are the incentives that guided the 21 year old, international student, Emily Ng to CSUSM. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Emily left her homeland to finish high school in Canada. Upon graduation, Ng then left Canada for a college she had heard about during a college fair. This college was Cal State University San Marcos. "English is an international language," said Ng in explaining why she chose to attend an American school. Acting congruent with her reasoning; she selected Global Business Management as her major. As her travels and studies reveal, Ng is a truly international student. When Ng is able to ignore the wailing pleas of her text books, she enjoys partying, dancing, and time with her friends. While a lack of confidence once inhibited her personality, Ng says she has established friendly relationships through the International Club. Despite the radness of San Marcos and the new Starbucks in the library, Emily and her friends prefer downtown San Diego for social activities. In comparing San Marcos to her birthplace, Ng said "Hong Kong is more fun." There is no doubt. Sometimes it is difficult to have fun inside the classroom too. Emily understands most simple English words but has trouble with the more complex ones. Fortunately professors have acknowledged her limited English in a positive manner. She says that instructors have exhibited patience and effort in dealing with her situation. When it comes to the more concrete components of our campus, Ng has mixed feelings. "I expected a bigger school." This international student, who essentially traveled thousands of miles to learn English and attend college, had no clue as to how small the CSUSM campus was. She said she expected the community to be more populated and for there to be more sports teams. It is indeed hard to recognize our campus as small without the aid of blue prints or a visit. But it is easy to imagine some of the lumbering difficulties that may subdue even the most spirited of international students. Ms. Ng includes the language barrier, financial issues, and self-reliance on her list. She has a part time job on campus to help nurture her finances and must rely on herself for every other challenge. Yet it is clear that being^away from home has its benefits. "I enjoy being alone sometimes." Ng said there was too much pressure at home. This comes from a working student from Hong Kong up against a language barrier and the doldrums of San Marcos. ' For Emily Ng, waves were not what propelled her dreams across the vast Pacific. It was not several soulenriching, will extracting, ocean sunsets that forced her to reach past the horizon. It was education and English. And it was the resolve to be truly international. Emily's best experience at CSUSM: "Meeting new people." TUesday, March 9,2004 5 Lit S tudies g ets an I nternational p rospective f rom Professor Moukhlis ByTOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Salah Moukhlis is clicking through a photo album on his computer of pictures he took the last time he went home to Morocco. Little black-haired nephews, dusty roads and colorful marketplaces fill the screen. "By the way," he says, pausing on a photo of an ornate brick building, "that's the oldest university in the world." The irony is not lost on Moukhlis, whose education has taken him from Morocco to England and Long Island. He teaches literary theory at CSUSM—one of the youngest universities in the world—while in Fes, Morocco, his counterparts have been instructing students since A.D. 859. During his time as an undergraduate in Morocco— and then during later work on his M. Lit in Victorian Studies in England—Moukhlis focused exclusively on British literature. But after having a drink with a colleague in Morocco, where he taught college classes for 12 years, Moukhlis decided that he needed to study literature from "The Maghreb." After awakening to the world of African writing, Moukhlis says he remembers thinking, "Hey, I want to read something about myself, about my people." With that in mind, he began working on his PhD in Comparative Studies at Stony Brook University in New York, with a focus on the Maghreb, "Maghreb" is the Arabic word for "west," but serves as the name for the country of Morocco, situated on the north-west corner of Africa. Maghreb literature, written mostly in Arabic, has been heavily influenced by the years that Morocco spent as a French Protectorate (1912-1956). The diversity Moukhlis has experienced in his education makes for an interesting take on literature: British traditionalism with an African postcolonial twist. While Moukhlis has studied British literature extensively, he makes no apologies for European colonialists. "It's good to see things in perspective," he says. "They literally carved Africa." Moukhlis also notes that British colonial texts played a large part in sparking his interest in Maghreb literature, much of which exists as an answer to colonialism. "When you read what these people have to say about you, all of a sudden you're not a neutral reader," he says. Speaking with an accent that is neither wholly French nor wholly Moroccan, Moukhlis explains that English is his fourth language, preceded by Arabic, French and Moroccan Arabic, a barely-distinguishable Arabic dialect. He is known by his students for that accent, as well as for his quirky style of teaching and his former "addiction" to breath mints. They also know him for his unusual passion for subjects widely regarded as dry and difficult to teach. It's not rare to find Moukhlis energetically teaching the details of Russian Formalism or New Historicism, .pacing the classroom with his coffee cup in hand and drawing pictures on the blackboard. How does he explain his excitement? Turning back to his computer, Moukhlis admits with a guilty smile, "I just love literary theory." �H2LIDAY F2fc HUmMITY If vacationing at the beach isn'tfor you, try one of these alternative breaks and help others at the same time Photo courtesy of Partick Bonz By TOR FREED Pride Staff Writer (from left to right) Melissa Holliday, Brian Reed, and Brock Winstead, students from NC State, work on the roof of a Habitat house. If you are strapped for cash and cannot afford to go to your regular hot spots such as Cancun, Hawaii, or Daytona Beach alternative spring breaks may be an interesting option. You will miss the party vibe but the payoff of alternative spring breaks may be rewarding. Alternative Spring break programs enable students to participate in helping and learning more about the epidemic of homelessness in this area. Students Photo courtesy of Steffan Hacker Becky Sutter and Jamie Smith work on the framing of the Habitat house. '!'Alternative Spring Break programs enable students to participate in helping and learning more about the epidemic homelessness work with organizations such as the YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and other community based organizations. The goal is to educate students and open minds, while giving them handson experiences toward the issues of homelessness. If San Diego is a little too close to home to be spring break worthy, then you might want to head a little north and spend a week in Santa Cruz and • San Francisco. In these cities, alternative spring breaks offer a closer look and understanding of people with disabilities. Join and meet other fellow Cal State students as they learn the rights and laws affecting disabled of populations, mental-physical-cultural awareness, and a survey of different organiza- tions such as people with cerebral palsy and mental retardation. These may not be your typical spring break ideas however, alternative spring breaks offer something more rewarding. They offer an opportunity to help your local community while educating and experiencing critical issues close to home. If you are looking to do something during spring break with a little more substance than cheap drinks and easy hook-ups then alternative spring breaks may leave your heart singing rather than heart broken. For more information on these and other alternative spring breaks go to www.statravel.com. Spring Break rip-offs By EIJKABEra BALDWIN Pride StaffWriter California Student Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) released a report citing that students pay on average 62 percent more for travel. The report found that travel companies included hidden, fees along with deceptive marketing practices in their Spring Break travel packages. "Spring Break is supposed to be a chance for students to relax and recuperate. Instead, travel companies are using it as a chance to fleece students," said Merriah Fairchild, CALPIRG higher education advocate. Students are encouraged to research a travel agency before booking a package deal. Also, beware of any company that requires you to sign a contract waiving or limiting your legal rights to file a dispute or receive a refund.

Expires 03/31/04 �TiavdTips w / C hdseaGeags By CHELSEA GEORGE Pride Staff Writer As spring break grows closer many students are getting ready to jet off to exotic locations. But before you pack your bag, here are a few helpful travel tips. Choose your traveling companions wisely. Nothing is worse than taking a trip with someone and hating them at the end of it. Pick people that you know are out to have a good time. If your group is happy and ready to find fun things to do in your new locale, chances are you will be too. Plus, if it's one of those friends that you love to death but who drives you nuts after being around them for a few hours just imagine how you'll feel after a few days. Check the weather and pack for it. You don't want to drag around a bunch if unwanted baggage so pack the essentials and try to leave everything else at home. If you already know most of your itinerary pack by outfit not by piece and try to pick outfits that can go with the same accessories. If you're going somewhere warm, however, you should pack at least one warm outfit because even deserts get cold at night. If you're going somewhere that requires you to be in your bikini or trunks the whole time, work on your tan beforehand to try to prevent burning. You don't want to have to stay in the hotel after the first day because the skin is peeling off your back. Another way t o avoid burning is to pack your sunscreen. One that you might want to try is Bullfrog: it comes as strong as SPF45 and lasts extremely well in water, though it is a little greasy. For those traveling to foreign countries, you can check regional recommendations on vaccinations, food and water-borne illnesses at www.cdc.gov/travel or call toll free 877-FYI-TRIP. It gives you helpful ways to avoid illnesses in any destination. For instance, those of you going to Mexico should bring bottled water even to brush your teeth with and not drink any beverages with ice. Another thing travelers should consider is trip insurance. The best policies cover trip cancellation, trip interruption, baggage and trip delay, accidental medical expenses, in-hospital indemnity, lost or stolen baggage, rental car collision damage waiver and rental car personal accident insurance. Call your insurance company to verify that you have medical coverage overseas. If you have a AAA membership, you may already be covered. If you're taking a road trip make sure you have a fully-inflated spare tire. Bring a flashlight, a cell phone and your A AA card in case you have any problems and end up on the side of the road somewhere. Try to drive during the day and if you do drive at night avoid truck stops and scary neighborhoods. For all those flying to their vacation spot, you can avoid flight delays by flying in the morning, the later the day goes the more air traffic has built up and don't even attempt to fly on a Friday. Try to get a nonstop flight but if you have to take a lay-over try to avoid airports known for bad weather or traffic. Also, when packing for a plane trip make sure to pack electronics, jewelry, documents, medicine or any necessary valuable items in a carry-on bag. If you're traveling with a friend split your luggage between the two bags so if one is lost you still have some clean clothes to change into. Once you get to your destination you're most likely going to need some cash. There are three options: converting all your cash to foreign currency, using traveler's checks or using credit cards. The problem with carrying your cash around the whole trip is that you probably won't get a very good exchange rate and if something happens to it you're^ stuck. With travelers checks you can cash them out as you need throughout your trip and if they end up lost or stolen you can have them replaced. Meanwhile, no one else can use your traveler's checks because they require matching signatures and a photo ID. When cashing traveler's checks or exchanging your cash for foreign currency, try to go to a bank—they usually give the best exchange rate, so you won't be losing some of your hard earned cash during the exchange. Another way to get a good exchange rate is to use your credit card. If you have a card and plan to pay the balance responsibly, use it when you travel overseas to get you a better exchange rate that you'll get almost anywhere. Credit card companies can get better rates than you can, so if you charge your hotel and restaurant bills instead of converting travelers checks and paying cash, it will end up costing you less. Probably the most important piece of travel advice for everyone is, have fun. After all, that is what vacations are all about. L ETTERS F ROM A BROAD Two csusm students write in from overseas about their experience in the United Kingdom If you had the opportunity to change your life would you take it or let, it pass you by? Imagine travelling the world on your weekends, having friends from all over and gaining the experience of a lifetime! You can have all of this just by studying abroad. My name is Stacy Goldstein and I didn't know why I wanted to study abroad at first, I just knew I had to do it. I had no expectations, just the curiosity- of wondering what it would be like to live and attend a university in the UK. Now, after one semester, I have travelled through most of Europe and have friends in Spain, Finland, France, Germany, and Australia and of course in England. I am also involved in the International Society and play for the University of Central Lancashire's Women's Basketball Team. I liked being here so much that I decided to extend my stay for another semester. It definitely wasn't the cold, "rainy weather that kept me here; instead it was the people, the culture, and the opportunity to gain a new set of eyes that allowed me to see America in another light. Living in another country has helped me gain a better perspective on America and the world. Don't get me wrong, I still love America and I miss the beach and eating carne asada burritos, but overall, studying and living in another country is unlike anything else I've ever experienced, and it's something you would have to try for yourself to fully understand. It's so refreshing to wake up every day and be faced with decisions like: do I want to travel to London or Paris today? It's so easy to travel because the transportation system here is so amazing and it makes me forget all about my car at home. The social life is also thrilling and ongoing, sometimes I find myself going out every night: I mean going t o pubs is a part of the British culture and I'm just doing my part to understand it. The going to school part is also great; I like the fact that you are encouraged to call your professors by their first names, and also that we are not given homework or tests! At the university I'm attending, class only meets once a week and your grades are based on two essays. Sometimes it can be difficult to balance school, clubs, sports, travelling and a social life but then again.. .it's all a part of the experience. All I know is that coming here was the best decision of my life and has changed me forever. So, whatever your reasons are for studying abroad, whether it be to travel, pick up a British accent, meet new people or no reason at all; just stop by Global Affairs and look into it, because it could be the best thing you ever did too! Hiya from Preston, UK I found out why European cars have such heavy frames, 'parking spaces" are half on the curb and half on the street; those cobblestone streets don't help either. I have yet to drive on what us Americans would call the 'wrong' side of the road but would like to try. On the other hand, never have I felt so liberated from my car, or walked so much in my life. It feels great. The streets in town are busy with people, unlike America's deserted main streets. It's pleasant to drop into a pastry shop on your way to class or slip into the small shop tucked away down an alley. I think my friend had the best advice: "Be a sponge and absorb everything around you." I feel invigorated being in a different country and participating in other cultures. It's easy to pick out the Brits standing in a queue (line) for the club, they are the ones without a coat on whether it's freezing or raining. In addition to the British culture, I live with two Polish, one German and another American. It's fun to compare our languages, food and other idiosyncrasies. So . ...everyone was right, the food has something to be desired, but when I get desperate there is always Subway, KFC, or McDonalds. Globalization couldn't be more obvious. Starbucks is also a hot spot but I have yet to find one in my university library. In addition to the few familiar restaurants, the entertainment industry is very alive with American films and music. In other words, it's hard to get homesick. I have to be honest, there are a few things I miss - like regular size kitchen appliances, service at restaurants and toilets that flush. The Brits would say, "Yeah, the toilets are dodgy." I never knew it was a luxury. Since the tip is included on the bill the food servers are very inattentive. If you get their attention you have to be ready to order or else you sit around for another twenty minutes. This is something that I need to adapt to, I am usually eating on the go.. Traveling or 'going on holiday' couldn't be easier here. I have already explored London and ventured to Liverpool (home of the Beatles), Manchester (home of the famous football or soccer team), York (you don't know York, c'mon), Edinburgh, Scotland (to see the castle and men in kilts), Conwy castle in Northern Wales, and this weekend, who knows where the train will drop me. If only the U.S. was smaller, I would ride the train over flying any day. On a more serious note, university, or uni to the locals, is structured a lot differently. It only takes three years to earn a bachelor degree because they don't take any general education courses. Your chosen major is 4 much more indepth study; hence, students are more specialized in their field. One of the most intriguing lessons that I have learned thus far is others perspectives of the United States and 'our land of opportunity.' I never appreciated being an American until others brought it to my attention. Don't miss your chance; travel while you are young and don't have as many responsibilities! Open your mind!

(ASI) election, five positions are empty, as in no one is running, and of the candidates running, none of them have any opposition, The election is to be held Monday, March 22, with polls opening at 8 a.m., through March 25, polls closing at 5 p.m. Along with electing ASI representatives, voters will also see on the ballot two referendum^; student health facilities fee increase and student health services fee increase. Only one candidate is running for each position in this election« Campaign advertising Erin Dalman, corporate secretary and VP of communication for ASI, organized advertisements through The Pride, bulletin boards on campus, In-the-Loop and on the dougar Channel, making it aware to students that ASI elections were in the not so distant future. According to Crystal Folk, vice president of finance, ASI spent a rough estimate of about $100 toward advertisement in The Pride, flyers, and posters through Student Residential Life. . ' Information, advertising and all forms were made . available approximately three weeks prior to candidates turning in applications. Applications were due to ASI by March 2, by 5 pint The next day the applications were reviewed by the election committee for grade and eligibility requirements* Write-In candidates "People are encouraged to run as write-in candidates," Dalman said. She said that it is unfortunate only one student is running for each position and that this is an opportunity for students to have not only a choice, but also a voice. A write-in candidate is any student that does not turn in an ASI application, but chooses to campaign for a position, and then has voters manually type in their name on the ballot. The option of being a write-in candidate is not advertised on any of ASI's posters or flyers. However, Dalman explained that information will be posted In-The-Loop, The Cougar Channel and in students clubs, soon. See ELECTION, page 2 CSUSM's Student Health Services is currently in a tug-of-war with rising health care costs and a limited budget. This predicament leaves SHS no choice but to turn the student population for more funding. However, the student body has the right to vote for or against the increased funding, so knowing your money's potential may help you decide which way you will vote. In a recent interview, director of Student Health Services Dr. Karen Nicholson addressed what each part of the budget is paying for and why the assistance is so imperative. "(The budget) consists of two pots," she said. "The allowed state budget pays for my salary and a small part of operations. Everything else, (such as) services, pharmaceuticals...is paid by student fees." The reason SHS is requesting fee increases is that student enrollment is See FEE INCREASE, page 3 Budget cuts to hit College of Education part 2 of 2 By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter In lieu of developing budget concerns, CSUSM college of education officials recently extended a message of hope to students, that their interests are of the highest priority in recent and upcoming talks regarding departmental funding cuts.

As explained in part 1 of this story, instructors will be taking reductions in travel allocations, and will be diminishing more resilient programs, in an effort to protect fee increases and the instructional quality available to students. Additionally, state Superintendent of Education Jack O'Connell sent a letter to Governor Schwarzenegger urging that the proposed 40 percent graduate fee increase not apply to credential students, "because of the importance of having a qualified pool of students in the state," said Dean M. Stephen Lilly of the college of education. See BUDGET CUTS, page 3 Dean Lilly Resigns By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride StaffWriter Steve Lilly announced last week that he will be stepping down as dean of the College of Education. Lilly has served at CSUSM for fourteen years after being hired in 1990 as the founding dean of the college of education. Following closely on the heels of the Karen Haynes' appointment as the new president of CSUSM, this change in leadership has again made headlines as school district administrators across San Diego County struggle to make sense of the drastic changes under way in California's educational system. Officials at CSUSM have decided to appoint Mark Baldwin as interim dean. A professor at CSUSM since 1995, Baldwin will serve for a year beginning on July 1, when Lilly's resignation takes effect.

"We want people to be aware that suicide exists, and that we should be more open about suicide, instead of pushing it aside and hiding it," said Chris Sanchez, head of CSUSM's Yellow Ribbon chapter. The Yellow Ribbon program, which now operates on high school and college campuses across the United States, was started by the Emee family, whose son Michael committed suicide. At CSUSM, the club hopes to raise awareness by sponsoring campus events with speakers, Sanchez said. They also hope to purchase a banner soon, since many students are still unaware of the club's existence. The Cold Stone fundraiser was designed to aid a tight budget, while allowing Yellow Ribbon volunteers the chance to work "behind the stone." "It's a lot of fun," said volunteer Tanja Schroeder, working alongside Sanchez and Lindsay Hilz. "I've only been here for half an hour and I've already been making cones and s tuff...

Bennett recently revealed a document previously kept in confidence to evade outside politicking that might corrupt good decision making. The text primarily outlined two principles unanimously agreed upon at a December 15 University Planning The latter of these two concessions provides for new programs and expansion of current offerings, in order to meet the needs of the community, according to Bennett's delineation. Bennett emphasized that, despite budget bickering, "There's still a central focus on preserving what's best for students. I 'm really happy to see that, because that's not always the way things run — because the students are not always at the table. Everybody's here for the right reason. The students' best interests are really at the table." He furthermore conveyed, "I can't think of anybody at any of the meetings that I've been to that stood in any opposition at all. If they're here I hope that they go. "It's very heartening to hear the way things are going, even in bad times," Bennett added. Lilly seconded this notion, saying that, "The good times always end and the bad times always end, and probably the most important thing is to keep our morale up at all times, keeping our focus. I 'm confident that this school cares about the students and both quality and access of instruction for students the most." Bennett voiced his own encouragement regarding his role as an educator, saying, "I know that I can have a real impact as a teacher. Because of your position on campus, you can have a real impact on the community." FEE INCREASE f rom page 1 Council meeting last year. The two priorities highlighted "ideals that were really held onto firmly as ideals that need to be put above all others," according to Bennett, and were recommended to the University Budget Committee: 1. "The highest campus priority is to provide quality instructional experiences that allow students to proceed at their preferred pace towards degree completion. This priority means providing enough in-class sections and other instructional offerings to meet student needs." 2. "Implement the Academic Blueprint at least in part through the establishment of creative partnerships to provide external and community support." In addition, SHS would also be able to offer dental and optometry screenings, but not treatment. Improvements would also be made in orthopedic services and disease prevention. Any excess in collected funds would also go toward current employees' benefits plan. SHS has devised other strategies for raising money other than targeting students, Nicholson said. "We are in the process of obtaining (a state funded program) called Family Pack." The program would offer STD screening and family planning programs. "This wouldn't just be for women, but for men as well," she said. The vote on the proposed Health Services fee increase will take place March 22-25. SHS sympathizes with the value of student dollars, especially with the recent increase in tuition, prompting their decision to let students decide with a vote whether to pay an increased health services fee. from page 1 dwindling. While CSUSM estimated the number of full-time enrollment (FTE) to be 6,643 in fall of 2004, the actual FTE was only 5,804. This leaves the student health department short $29,365, with students paying $35 per semester. To appropriate the shortage, SHS has requested students to vote on increasing the health fee from $35 to $50 starting next semester. "The funds would first stabilize what we are already doing," Dr. Nicholson said. "Then we would be able to offer an increase in our hours of operations for our psychiatry department," which she said was in high demand. Nicholson continued, "We would also be able to offer pharmacy hours during the same time (as the clinic)."

I agree that there are limitless possibilities to explore; I just want feedback letting me know we are moving in the right directions. However, this is where the readers must get involved. I would like to see Thé Pride in the hands of more students and faculty for reasons of actual interest and not just for criticism. But, I also need to know what we are missing in order to suggest to the editorial staff how we can improve. So, I ask you, the readers of The Pride, what do you want to know? What are our stories missing or not covering in enough depth? These are important questions that I hope will spark thoughtful responses. My e-mail is dolan005@csusm.edu. Thank you to all who contacted me this week with thoughtful insights and comments. Last week was a good week for reader comments on The Pride. I received a lot of positive feedback regarding the special travel issue. One person commented to me that this edition of The Pride marked the first time that she had read an entire issue from front to back without skipping any story. I felt reluctantly pleased by the statement and, of course, encouraged her to read more of The Pride on other weeks as well. A more specific idea that I got from my friend above was that she was interested in the content of this special issue.

(ASI) is getting ready to hold their annual election for student government officers for the next school year. To advertise the need for candidates for the election, ASI printed up flyers and posters with the slogan, "Go For It." The result of this highly motivating slogan is an election where not one of the candidate positions is being contested. "We tried to encourage students. It's unfortunate that the student body doesn't care," said Erin Dalman, ASI vice president of communication. We do not agree with Ms. Dalman, we think that people need to be convinced with passion and reason to get involved to do something. Student government was all about free hamburgers and enthralling speeches by Eric Roper to get students riled up about voting for various California propositions. Mr. Roper, where is our hamburger and speech to get us excited about participating in our own campus government? We want to encourage all students at CSUSM to run for student government. In case you have not seen the announcement on ASI's website regarding "write-in" candidates, it is not too late for new candidates to join the race.

First of all, board members get paid. Yes, students are awarded scholarship money for all elected offices. ASI officers receive a minimum scholarship of $7,999 for president, $6,290 for vice presidents and $800 for representatives. Crystal Folk, ASI vice president of finance, explained why ASI did not put the scholarship information on advertising posters, "We didn't want people to do it just for the money." Well we want students to run for the money. We want a student who has lots of ideas, ambition and passion, but just can't seem to spare any time because of his or her part-time job at The Gap. Now he or she has a great opportunity to quit that job and can finally make time to work on making a difference at CSUSM. Associated Students, Inc. offers students a wonderful opportunity to facilitate campus life at CSUSM. You get a chance to coordinate functions, including the annual masquerade ball and schedule famous people to speak on campus, just to name a few. The best incentive for being an elected officer is having an excellent experience to put on your resume. Another great incentive of being an ASI officer is having an office to hang out in on campus. And if you are elected president or vice president, you get your very own personal office on campus. Just image ... No more computer labs. No more using your car as your locker. Not even all your professors have this luxury. Please become a write-in candidate. Do not let these few people get all these benefits without doing some work for it. �Tüesday T March 16,2004 7 V/ a yynrTlT A K I i l T l THE PRIDE 6 Film c lass w orking w ith t he c ommunity In the corner of ARTS 340, the video lab at CSUSM, there's a beaten down blue couch that nobody is sitting in, and a funky painted table stacked with magazines that nobody is reading. That's because the students from Visual Arts (VSAR) 306 are too busy editing footage for their projects to think about lounging around. VSAR 306, video in the community, is an entry level class offered every spring that gives students the opportunity to learn about video production while working within the community. The class is separated into groups and assigned a community partner, who they then collaborate with to develop video projects significant to that community. Kristine Diekman, chair of visual and performing arts, who teaches the class, said that video in the community "makes a nice bridge between San Marcos and the community." While it teaches students about video production, Diekman said, it also benefits "people who need help in some way," and it helps "the community members get something done" that they might not be able to otherwise.

In other parts of the world, however, there are other exciting ways to celebrate St. Patty's day. In Ireland, there is a week long celebration of parades and parties, and one might also expect to experience the excitement in Boston, where many Irish descendants will be drinking it up, and enjoying the city's festivities of decorative floats and other funfilledevents. In honor of St. Patrick, here's something to think about while enjoying a green beer and hanging out with your friends: Why is this the day people wear green and partake in liquid pleasures? St. Patrick was the patron saint of Ireland and was born in Wales about AD 385. At the age of sixteen, he was captured by marauders who kept him captive. While enslaved, he grew closer to God, and after six years of enslavement, he escaped and years later joined a monastery for a period of twelve years. During his years in the monastery, he decided his calling was to convert the pagans, of Ireland, to Christianity. It was not an easy task since his superiors appointed St. Palladius to Ireland, and two years later Patrick, having adopted this as his Christian name, was appointed as second bishop to Ireland, and St. Palladius was transferred to Scotland. Although Patrick was successful at winning converts, the Celtic druids did not agree with him and locked him up several times. He escaped several times. He traveled throughout Ireland establishing monasteries across the country; as well as schools and churches that would aid in the conversion of the Irish country to Christianity. St. Patrick's mission lasted for thirty years before he retired and then died on March 17 in AD 461. That's the day we all know as St. Patrick's Day and have celebrated ever since. There is also some interesting folk lore to chat about being that St. Patrick was believed to raise the dead, oooh. There is also a rumor that people said he drove all the snakes from Ireland, however, no snakes were ever native to Ireland; snakes might have been spoken of to symbolize the conversions of the pagans to Christianity. There's also the leprechaun; that if one startled him, he would take you to a pot of gold. Then there's the fact that corn beef and cabbage was not a traditional dish in Ireland, but only traditional to the Irish immigrants who came to America and could only afford this type of food, which then became an American Irish dish. And then there's the shamrock. St. Patrick was said to have used this symbol to explain the holy trinity to his followers. He used the three-leafed shamrock in his sermons to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Sprit could all exist as separate elements of the same entity. This is when his followers adopted the custom of wearing a shamrock on his feast day. St. Patrick's Day became a custom in America in 1737, in Boston, which was the first year that St. Patrick's Day was publicly celebrated in this country. If you're looking forward to celebrating St. Patty's Day, you might try North County where you could stop by The Blvd, in San Marcos to check out the bands the Plug Uglys and Scotch Green for five bucks. There's also Tom Giblins, a traditional Irish pub, in Carlsbad, for some entertainment. Maybe you live near the Belly up, in Solana Beach, where they're having a St. Patty's Day party with the band Skelpin, playing traditional Celtic music. Or, you could journey down town, where there will be a celebration in the Gaslamp quarter with a musical block party from 5 p.m. until midnight with fifteen of your favorite bars and restaurants. �A&E THE PRIDE A y—I Tuesday March 16, 2004 Qwrìcorn CancW MMvAtitlingl the park.

Tomorrow, March 17 at 7:30 p.m. in ARTS 240 students can see a performance of this intriguing show. An original work by internationally acclaimed playwright Eve Ensler, TVM is based on Ensler's interviews with over 200 women who were willing to speak out about their vaginas, sometimes with great emotion and detail. These testimonies range from answers to questions like, "If your vagina could talk, what would it say in two words?" to detailed re-enactments of women's experiences with sexual abuse and torture. The show is always changing as Ensler updates her work every year based on her latest interactions with women. These declarations have grown from a one-woman show, to a globally executed creation, usually performed by three or more women. The V-Day Oceanside Troupe, organized by local resident Cari Bacon, came together to perform the controversially titled play last month at the Star Theatre in Oceanside for the second year in a row. After being invited to see the sold out show, student coordinator for women's studies at CSUSM, Josh Harris, encouraged the ladies to perform their work on the CSUSM campus as part of an extensive series of events in recognition of Women's History Month. This time of the year is particularly significant for performances of TVM because from it has sprung a movement called V-Day that focuses on Photo courtesy of Axe Records ByROGERNARANJO Pride StaffWriter Photo by /Joan Marcus Eve E nsler s peaks t he w ords of t he h undreds o f w omen who have i nspired h er c reation, " The V agina M onologues." raising awareness about violence against women, as well as taking a proactive stand toward eradicating it. V-Day is celebrated on February 14, and most performances of TVM are concentrated around this time however, women who are involved in V-Day are active in their efforts all year long, traveling to places like Juarez, Cairo and Afghanistan in order to help end violence against women and girls everywhere. According to Harris and associate professor of women's studies Linda Pershing, there have been numerous calls from the community in response to the advertisement of TVM in local papers. The public is not only interested in coming to the performance at CSUSM, they are worried about getting tickets. Bacon will be performing along with five or six other women who were also involved in the Oceanside performance of TVM, including CSUSM student Cassandra Collins. Dynamite! Boss sounds of 60's style reggae are exploding in the underground scene once again and The Aggrolites are front and center leading the come back under the Axe Records label. Their new CD entitled "Dirty Reggae" encompasses all the elements needed to brew up a solid delivery of this vintage style reggae. The Aggrolites got their name by fusing the names of reggae greats the Aggrovators and the Crystalites. Their sound is influenced by the Hippy Boys, Tower Of Power, The Clash, The Upsetters, War, Bleachers, Pioneers, The Who, The Meters and Jackie Mittoo. The members of this band have played in such bands as the Rhythm Doctors, The Vessels, See Spot, King Apparatus, Dub Street Rockers, Kingston 10, and have opened for reggae legend Prince Buster. The wailing, skanking rhythm guitar of Brian Dixon intertwined with the plucking leads of Jesse Wagner laid over a heavy harmonizing organ give a feel of being in Jamaica. The vocals on this CD laid down by Wagner are scratchy, grinding and reminiscent of the high soulful sound of reggae greats such as Desmond Decker, Laurel Atkins and Drakar from The Adjusters. Thefirstsong on the album, "Hot Spot," starts out with an intricate drum line by Korey Horn accompanied by cowbells. It is an audio assault when the organ, drum and bass bring it on home. J. Bonner, the bass player, plays punchy, pounding bass lines that can be felt in the hip. Wagner's lyrics encompass a combination of updated nursery songs, romantic lyrics, proverbs and street wisdom. "The Stampede," another song on the album, starts out with an announcement that the stampede is coming. This musical number is a well balanced blend of galloping skank, plucking guitar and heavy organ played by Roger Rivas together with an up tempo tight drum and bass, sprinkled with an in your face trombone section. "This aint no disco doing the funk, this aint no hip hop shake your rump," are the lyrics in another track sure to make you want to cut the rug, titled "Pop the Trunk." "We were trying to come up with song ideas and Deston Berry (Hepcat) suggested 'pop the trunk' since it's something we always ask our friends to do, so we came up with T op the Trunk,'" Wagner said. This isn't the ordinary overproduced MTV reggae you're used to, this is soul and though it won't make the Billboard's top ten, it is great. You'll need a Cliff bar to groove through this whole CD. If you love reggae, ska, or rock steady then this is truly an album your collection shouldn't be without. You can pick this album up at www.theaggrolites.com or at www.axerecords.com also at Lou's Records and other great music shops. Enjoy.

Associated Students, Inc. (ASI), provides about $106,000 to support the preschool's proposed $324,000 annual budget, according to Honey Folk, ASI executive president and CEO. Each CSUSM student pays $50 per semester to ASI. Lura Poggi, ASI executive director, said that currently 13 percent of the $50 student fee pays for the Early Learning Center and that ASI revenues might fall between 10 to 12 percent next year with the budget cuts that are currently taking place.

CSUSM ASI VP of External Affairs and Environmental Affairs Officer for the CSSA Erik Roper described the California Student Sustainability Coalition (CSSC)'s message as "well-received." "The Chair of the Board of Trustees was seemingly sympathetic to our plight," he said, despite unanticipated time restrictions to statewide-traveling presenters.

Photo Illustration by Sarah Carlin /The Pride Blendin ati imagination, dungeon masters, fantasy Photo by Kyle Otto /The Pride By KYLE OTTO Pride StaffWriter Deep in the heart of the chaotic medieval age are the tales forged of the dungeon master, mythic gods, powerful arcane magic, valiant knight lords, radiant princesses and shadowy secrets of the stealthy assassin lurking in the black of night outside a raucous tavern. The dungeon master, ruler of his domain and keeper of Dungeons & Dragons, is the first realm among the legacy of the mystical tradition of roleplaying games. Its truth, however, need not be shrouded in mystery, for the excitement of its adventure, the intrigue of its legends, lie in the imagination, the wondrous gift of human nature, to be wielded by each, if one should dare. Here, at CSUSM, dwells a subculture of roleplayers, each member embarking on a boundless journey of danger and glory amid the vast worlds of the mind. The dungeon master The essence of the role-playing game is found in the heart and mind of any player who joins the "campaign," an ongoing story created and mediated by the Dungeon Master (DM), or game master (GM). The DM acts as the characters in the realm he has created, narrating the events that set the stage for player interaction. As the DM tells the story, player characters (PCs) are free to interact with their imaginary environment and its inhabitants as they choose, confined only by their own characters' abilities. Players adopt the roles of characters such as warriors, wizards, rogues and druids, assigning them personal traits such as strength and intelligence, equipping them with weapons, armor, spellbooks, lockpicks, etc., and breath life into them with backgrounds and personalities, to be played accordingly. Role-players use extensive rulebooks that inform DM's and players as to how their game should be run, various multifaceted dice that arbitrate the uncertainties of game experiences, "character sheets" that record the statistics of their characters and sometimes maps of the lands they explore. No board, no pieces, no start orfinish,no winners or losers inspire the role-playing universe, only the thrill of evolving into the hero you have always dreamed you could become. Players gather in pizza parlors, game shops or living rooms to experience the pinnacle of their creativity. For avid Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) enthusiast Chuck Buchwald, it is an experience of total immersion. A student teacher in CSUSM's graduate mathematics program, Buchwald and his gaming companion and master's colleague, Tim Eddo, apply their mathematical expertise, employing formulas to recreate the quantitative game mechanics. "We're math dorks," said Buchwald, attesting to his zeal for the potential mathematical complexity of D&D. Buchwald and his group of "adventurers," tread their treacherous underworld of "The Dungeon," a garage adorned with black and grey sheets mimicking dungeon walls, murals, mounted swords and armor, and a dragon water fountain that breathes See GAMERS, page 4 �Time to Vote Editorial Staff Staff Writers Editors-in-Chief Natalie Barham Chad Spinks Danielle Boldt Kevin Brabec Lydia Crescioni Brett Davis Chelsea George Nicole Sullivan Jennifer Jones Eric Merc ado Roger Naranjo Kyle Otto David Werth Laura Whitaker Karen Graham Ashley Renzy Jason Robbins Eileen Roque Loriann Samano Joshua Sandoval Allison Sansbury Kim Schlatter Zelynda Smith John Stuart Mark Ferrera Michelle Velarde Elizabeth Baldwin Jonathan Rodley D esigni Photo Editor Doug Lasater News Editor Tom Pilngsten Features Editor Sarah Carlin A&E Editor Melissa Rodriguez Ombudsman Mike Dolan Business Manager Danika Qulnones Online Editor Kimberiy Oliver Distribution Adrian Cundiff Adviser Jenifer Woodring By ERIC MERCADO Pride StaffWriter SWIM The ASI election polls will open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, March 22 and will close at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 25.

Four of seven planned CSSA/CSSC presenters were afforded voice before the board, including Tylor Middlestadt of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo (SLO), Daniel Scheppler of Cal State Fullerton, Roper, and Pablo Pastor of Cal Poly, SLO. Remaining unheard CSSA/CSSC members included Rachel Aljilani of Cal Poly, SLO, Zachary Mermel of Humboldt State University, and Shakti Maisen of Cal State Northridge. The CSSA organizes around students' needs and interests throughout the CSU, and has worked on sustainability as a policy agenda item over the past three years. The CSSC, an organization created by UC students in 2003, offering admittance to CSU students in February 2004, successfully lobbied UC Regents to adopt a "strong sustainability policy" in 2003. Roper presented his policy as lone dissenter and student representative member of the CSU Committee for the Development of Sustainability Design Policy (CDSDP), whose overseer, Asst. Vice Chancellor Vi San Juan recently presented the committees' policy before the Board of Trustees. In his February Environmental Affairs Officer Report, Roper highlighted what he identified as weaknesses in the CDSDP's Feb. 6 resolution, including: No commitment to any specific percent of renewable energy to be used in the future. No commitment to any building efficiency/sustainability standards. In a March 18 press release, Roper stated goals on behalf of the CSSC's "Renew CSU" campaign, including: Clean energy: universities should make a commitment to obtain at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2014 and 50 percent by 2024. Green buildings: renovated and newly constructed buildings should be designed using green building guidelines developed by the U.S. Green Buildings Council (USGBC). Energy efficiency: energy use per student should be reduced by 20 percent by 2014 and 40 percent by 2024. Over a 60-year life cycle, The USGBC's LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver sustainable buildings would cost half as much to design, construct, operate, and maintain as a conventional structure, according to CSSC figures. Aljilani cited that over 140 LEED buildings exist in California as of August 2003. "Green buildings are 25-30 percent more energy efficient," she said. Roper estimated that a long-term sustainability policy would eventually save the universities hundreds of millions of dollars, saying, "Especially in light of current budget cuts - what better time for students to be active and try to save us money?" hour c all ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W l M • . -> AT * from page 1 INSTRUCTORS!!! i $10,tì^$16.0®Ìper students simply ne6d to use their smart W^b authorization c ^ e to access the vote online.

"I think that is because ASI has always been aware that to meet their needs, they needed to have a daycare center," Barker said. "Currently 22 out of the 25 CSU schools have daycare," Barker added, "This is because those schools have ASI members who are in tune with the importance of meeting basic needs for their students." Parents that spoke on Friday were students at CSUSM who concluded that without the ELC they would have to give up their education due to the lack of daycare. One parent, Sabrina Wistain, said that she only has four classes left, which makes next semester her last. If ASI decides to close down the ELC she will have to quit before her last semester. "There is no other childcare that I trust," Wistain said. "Do I quit my education after coming this far? To give up a career that will provide a good future for my child." Another parent, Christine Focosi-Mckelvey, went line by line through ASI's cost of items budget. "I noticed that only two items have gone up (in price), since 1998, while all other items have gone down," Christine said. Folk explained that the problem is not that prices per item are going up, but rather, that "revenue is drastically dropping." In addition that $112,000 of cuts has already been made and that with all of the cuts, including cutting all food costs for the ELC, there is still a deficit of $57,000. ASI is currently working to get grants to build a new early learning center that would be affiliated with the College of Education. Which, Poggi says would still not be able to open until at least 2007. To seek more options, Poggi is negotiating with an organization who may decide to help out and run the ELC. Poggi explained that they seemed interested and that they were scheduled to tour ELC later that day to talk in more detail about taking over the preschool. Questions were brought up as to whether or not the ELC would keep their staff, and if the program would stay the same or change. Poggi said that she would need more information before having the answers to those questions. Before voting unanimously to table the issue of ELC to a later date, ASI board members promised the parents another chance to have a meeting solely on the sub- ject of ELC before making a decision. Folk explained that this date will be discussed by ASI and will be available 72 hours before the scheduled meeting. The Early Learning Center is one of the few options for childcare in the area surrounding CSUSM. According to a handout supplied by ASI, the ELC charges CSUSM students $23 per day for full-time care and $16 per day for part-time care. Faculty, staff and community members pay $30 per day for full-time care and $20 per day for part-time care. If ELC is closed the nearest childcare facility is Discovery Isle, which is located behind Ralph's shopping center across from campus. A representative from Discovery Isle said childcare at Discover Isle is on a fulltime attendance basis, meeting a minimum of 5.5 hours per day. They accept children between the ages of 6 weeks to first grade and charge $686 per month with a 10 percent discount for a second child.

GAMERS such as fighters and magic users, to be cast into an established environment, conquering foes in order to complete quests. Michael Nguyen, computer science major, and Chris Miranda, biochemistry major, play Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, in which they travel from their home village, which they named "CSUSM," to a multitude of others, protecting them from "The Mist," which mysteriously threatens them. Nguyen plays in some online groups and with Lounge Krew members regularly. "I notice if I don't play games, I kind of do badly in school, with nothing to relieve stress," Nguyen said. A small society of sorts, LK is a group of about 50 friends, each bearing a "Krew name," such as "Profe," Erik Sager, psychology sophomore, "SCM," Nguyen, and Dr. K. One member, "Beau," freestyle raps a routine incorporating all 54 "official" LK names, representing on karaoke days featured in the lounge, provided by ASI. On a near-daily basis, one of the Krew brings in a game system of some kind, such as the Playstation 2, Gamecube, or X-Box. The Lounge Krew said they no longer take advantage of the outdated arcades in the lounge, as one LK member, who preferred to remain anonymous, asked, "Why? We've got the games that we wish they had, that we want to play. If they had the right video games, they'd make money." LKisoutsiderinclusive,however communal their membership may be.

Well, ESPN had the vision. ESPN annually broadcasts the world series of poker which showed last years champion winning a pot of over $2.5 million. TV stations take you into the game by allowing you to see everyone's cards and by having commentators call the play by play on the action. Recently Bravo hosted a celebrity tournament called "no limit Texas hold'em poker tournament" that had participants such as Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Coolio, and eventual champion Nicole Sullivan. Each contestant was playing for charity which resulted in winners taking home a share of the $250,000 pot. To capitalize on the recent craze of poker, Bravo will host another celebrity hold'em tourney later in the year. Anyone, even celebrities, can learn to play poker well. What most people do not realize is that poker is actually a game of skill and not just complete luck. Professional poker players have cashed in on their success by writing books such as "The Theory of Poker" and "Super System." Those books can give some insight on what to do in certain situations of poker games, rather than just going with gut feelings. The interest in poker on TV is questionable to many people because many just see it as playing cards. However, watching or playing poker is more like reality TV than "survivor" or "the real world." The human element is an enjoyable part of the game. In poker, there is lying, deceiving, slipups, risks, rewards, and hope; all of which are a huge part of everyday life. Every poker player experiences those words while playing poker and it is quite exciting to see what happens next. So, if you are just looking for something to do that is entertaining or if you are looking to make some extra money just shuffle up and deal.

Programs like Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) depend on that money to keep running. With the lack of cash, ASI had to make cuts to their $1.2 million budget. Even after ASI's board members made cuts, their budget was still over by $350,000. Their solution: cut funding to the Early Learning Center (ELC), where 55 families send their children every week. At the ELC young children, ages two to six, learn the values of love, compassion, and etiquette. The Early Learning Center is cheaper than most preschools, and more flexible with schedules. The ELC also provides opportunities for education students with valuable work experience. Students and teachers both depend on the Early Learning Center. And the ELC depends on Cal State students to help them with funding. Of the $324,000 it will cost to run the ELC next year, students would pay about $106,374. the 54 per semester That equals out to about 6.4 percent of their $50 student fee, or about $6.75 per semester. To keep the ELC alive next semester it would take another $3.75 a semester per student. That's a cheap price to help raise more than 55 children. It is a matter of weighing the options setting our priorities, and making decisions. ASI makes those decisions. Losing the ELC should not be an option. The issue of the ELC is a mirror of what's happening in the Cal State system. the shutdown of Educational Opportunity Programs. ASI vehemently protested against this. Now it's their turn. With the vitality of the Early Learning Center in their hold, will they follow the governor and just cut it, or will they accept their responsibility to provide for their students? ASI needs tofinda way to keep the Early Learning Center alive. Hold a special election for a $4 fee referendum. Rom the pump, or from the utter?

Sounds good to me. But unfortunately, it probably doesn't matter how legitimate the explanation for high gas prices sounds; for we just have to keep on pumping. Right? So instead of grieving over high prices, I wish compare gasoline to milk. More specifically I want to determine which product is the more cost-efficient fuel. Both goods are primarily sold by the gallon, and lately, both hover around the same price. But which one prevails in a cost/benefit analysis? Let'sfindout. A North County buyer can purchase one gallon of gasoline for an average price of $2.17. Now let's select an average car to fuel up. I think a 2000 Honda Civic is suitable. Honda reports that this model gets 38 miles per gallon. A pride Photo Illustration by Jon Rodley¡The Pride Running on a gallon of milk or driving on a gallon of gas; a mathematical examination reveals which of the two is the most fuel-efficient. simple mathematical computation reveals that for every $2.17 we spend on gas, we get to travel 38 miles. Not bad.4 A North County buyer can purchase a gallon of milk for about $3.50. The label on back of a one-gallon milk container (one percent milk) reveals that there are 120 calories in each serving. Since a gallon-sized container contains 16 servings, drinking a gallon of this type of milk would dump a total of 1920 calories into your body. Now let's select an average person to fuel up with milk. According to an online Activity Calorie Calculator, a 150-pound person running 6 MPH (10 minute mile) will burn 720 calories in one hour. Thus one gallon of milk (1920 calories) would enable this person to run at a positive-calorie count for about 2 and % hours. During this amount of time, our average person (running 6MPH) would travel 16 miles. These calculations mean that for every $3.50 we spend on a gallon of milk, we get nearly 16 miles out of our hypothetical person. Luckily we do not need to perform any more mathematical computations to conclude which product is the more cost-efficient fuel. A gallon of gasoline is cheaper than milk and it enables us to travel further. I suggest reminding yourself of this comparative advantage before cringing at the pump. The results decree that gasoline deserves our unconditional support. It is so affirmed. By: Chad TWO SAM MARCOS LOCATIONS CLOSE TO CAMPUS! fcfe—_ 1 Sim» 985 "A V» ¥ 304 W. Mission Rd.

Expires 03/3 !/04á ao n �By MIKE DOLAN Pride Ombudsman Last Wednesday, the staff of The Pride came out to Founders Plaza in an effort to bring the paper to the students and to recruit for the Pride Literary Supplement The overall consensus of the affair was positive; many students demonstrated genuine interest in The Pride and die Pride Literary Supplement, where students can get their artwork published for free. However* a student refused a copy of the paper based on the observation, in her own words, that Hie Pride is "too slanted/' This made me think. If the definition of the word "slanted" is intending to affiliate us with a certain political distinction, then, I think, The Pride is not "slanted/* I feel we could remove any doubt by engaging in a more in depth reporting style. For example, if we are reporting a storywith any political overtones, then the reporter must interview both sides of the issue: a simple task considering such groups as the Progressive Activist Network and the College Republicans are both on campus and both represent the contrasting sides of most political issues. Something as simple as that would balance any perceived slant in our political coverage. There is, however, another component here that may be mis- interpreted by some. That is the as journalists.

I've been waiting very patiently the past few weeks to see the information posted and cannot believe that the information is not posted yet. Granted that there isn't any opposition for the board positions, but don't you think it is adding insult to injury by not having the information up at this point? I would really appreciate it if you could get that information up ASAP. It just doesn't make any sense otherwise. Also, I'd like to address the reason why this week's issue of The Pride did not contain the candidate's campaign statements. Again, adding insult to injury, it merely contains an article that talks about the elections being uncontested. This surely will only exacerbate the likelihood of a low voter turnout. I apologize if I seem a little harsh here. But I surely don't think I'm out of line in bringing this issues to light. ASI still needs to at least run this election and get all the information out to the students. I hope that we can at least reach out to as many students as possible in the coming week. Please let me know when and if you'll be doing anything further, as I hope that the elections committee will take some initiative. cans only send three of ours to mourn with them.

Meanwhile the human sense of sight is inadequate; seven eyes may be enough to watch everything that is going on through the various levels of the stage. There are flying people being lowered down from the sky, others popping up from under the stage, a whole circus act happening on front stage, and lots of background acts happening in various levels in the back of the stage on huge 15-20 feet steel poles, as others are dancing in cat walks above your head. The sense of touch is also overwhelmed, experiencing another level of ecstasy as bodies shake with the vibration of the simultaneous claps of the crowd. The audience sat speechless, yet involved, in awe at the premier show of Cirque du Soleil this last Thursday at the Qualcomm Stadium. The show, entitled "Varekai" began its run there Mar. 18 and will continue until Apr. 4. The story of "Varekai" takes place deep within a forest where an extraordinary world exists. A world called Varekai. In Roman the word "Varekai" means "whatever" and this show lives up to that meaning. Anything can happen, whatever and whenever, things beyond wildest imagination occur, in this mesmerizing world of Varekai. The story begins with a lizard moving to the sounds of a chime. Other mystical creatures slowly begin coming out, including a cave man character that is always trying to invent things. Within a few moments of setting the scene, the music changes, and a solitary angel falls from the sky landing softly in the forest of these fantastical creatures. The angel is inspected by the creatures who consider A crobats f rom all o ver t he w orld a maze a udiences w ith t heir g race a nd a gility.

He is lifted into the air wrapped in a net, and begins his acrobatic act in mid-air with the net as his partner. There is also a lady creature, with whom the angel falls in love, as he tries to adjust to this new life in the world of Varekai. Both the angel and the creature have an attraction and curiosity about one another but there are obstacles which will not let them be together. The next several acts that follow are both amazing and unbelievable. There is never a dull moment as people are dancing all around in extravagant costumes with intrinsic make-up detail. Performers are catapulted from one another's legs; they place themselves in strange and uncomfortable positions on top of one another; they swing from the sky either solo or with partners; they fall into holes on stage; they bal- ance themselves on canes; they juggle up to eight different sized items at a time. The female creature turns into a human as she is lowered from the sky and does a routine both in a hoop in the sky and on hand-balancing canes on the stage. She is the most capable contortionist in the show. The audience was in awe, as she made beautiful, mesmerizing art with her body. Finally the lovers are united as king and queen while the final act of "Russian Swings" takes place. There are men swinging from giant swings, being catapulted onto huge white sheets where they land on the shoulders of another man, on one leg or arm. Their costumes are bright red and orange and the music is very upbeat and loud. The audience gets really into the show as little red pieces of paper fly down throughout the entire audience.

Parking tickets at CSUSM usually run $25, and can reach up to $100 for parking in a reserved spot. Revenue from the tickets that are issued does not go back into the parking system, but rather to San Diego County for various alternate modes o f transportation such as vanpools and carpools. The repeal rate for parking tickets is around 80 percent, meaning that only 20 percent o f the contested tickets actually P ARKING,frompage 1 result in a fine. There is a 21-day grace period during which students have the chance to contest the ticket. After appealing, the contestation will go in front o f an appeal board, which is made up o f three people who are not affiliated with the parking system. It normally takes six to eight weeks to receive a reply, after which time the ticket will either be dismissed or upheld. I f the ticket is upheld then you have an option for a second level hearing. In other words, tickets can be appealed twice. I f students drop classes or dis- enroll, the parking institution will consider refunding your parking pass on a pro-rated scale. Many students are unaware o f this and simply throw their passes away not knowing that they might be eligible for a refund. Information on parking services can be found on their website at www.csusm.edu/parking. O n the site there is information concerning future plans o f action including expansion and parking pass increases. I t is also a good forum in which to appeal parking tickets. donated by Geico, providing the college with two $5,000 scholarships each year to be continually funded. Regarding how cuts will affect faculty, Guseman said that, " No tenured or track faculty will be released. Because we're offering fewer sections, we may use fewer adjuncts," including those faculty who have been teaching less than two years, typically teaching one or two classes. "We have some excellent adjunct faculty, and our desire is to keep those," he said. Despite budget reductions, the college's $27,640,000 business building, to be completed by January 2006, will not be threatened. Funding for the building comes from a different budget than the colleges operating expenses. The building "has always been protected under the Governor's economic stimulus plan," Guseman said. BUSINESS, from page 1 ing fewer opportunities to attend conferences and seminars. This will impact "currency": the ability o f instructors to remain on the cutting edge o f their field. "Faculty will have to delay some things they'd like to do for a year," Guseman said. Guseman characterized expected budget cuts as a " bump in the road," saying: "We want to minimize any long-term damage. We have to look at this as a shortterm phenomenon. We don't want to make some decisions that will impact our ability to continue to grow for the future." Rather than focusing purely on cutting costs, the college will generate additional revenues. The college has already had some success in such efforts, Guseman said. " The business community really does realize the importance o f having quality education." One such fundraising measure is to increase the fees for companies hosting students in the college's "senior experience" program - a program allowing students to collaborate on projects with businesses in the community. Additional revenues accrued from businesses in this manner would help defer costs incurred by the program.

T hese were not forced increases, such as resulted from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's budget cuts. These were optional, a nd were open to b e v oted o n for four days by any student at C SUSM. W hether the fee increases were needed is not the point. Rather, the shocking thing is that 93 percent o f C SUSM s tudents apparently did not care that they might b e r equired to pay an extra $37 p er s emester from now on. Almost five hundred students voted on the two fee increases proposed b y S tudent H ealth Services. O f those, 289 voted yes o n t he first increase and 261 o n t he second (ostensibly 261 o f t he same students that supported the first). 3 T hat means that about three hundred students decided that all seven thousand o f us will pay $ 37 m ore every semester until we graduate - and not only us, but also new students who will have to abide b y the results o f last month's vote. I have a hard time believing that all o f the students who didn't vote will not care or notice when the increases take effect next semester. In fact, I 'll b et that more than a few will b e standing out in front o f the cashier's office, shaking their heads and complaining about how high the fees are. O ut o f all o f t he reasons to vote, direct monetary incentives should r ank a mong the top two or three. For students, I would expect it to be number one. My guess is that at the very least, seventy o r eighty percent o f CSUSM s tudents care when their fees go up. So why wasn't there a seventy or eighty percent turnout for the election? The next time you have the chance to vote o n a fee increase, you will have the same two options you h ad t his time: to vote, or to let a minority o f the student body decide how much money you should pay for extracurricular services.

A pleasurable event Sex toy workshop instructed, delighted large audience By CHAD SPINKS Pride StaffWriter Even though spring break had started for most students Thursday evening, March 25, there was a line o f over 150 students standing outside o f the Arts 240 lecture hall. The students were waiting to participate in the final segment o f the Women's History Month series - a sex toy workshop. Thirteen events were sponsored by the women's studies department and organized by student Josh Harris throughout the month o f March, and included such events as a vaudeville performance, hula dancing and a slam poetry reading by Bridgette Gray. "We had a hard time judging how many people would turn out," said Harris. Harris said that the only other event with such a large turnout was " The Vagina Monologues," where people were actually turned away. He said this event was more fortunate since there was enough room for everyone who came to have a seat in the audience. The two hour sex toy workshop was led by Laura Weide, a self proclaimed "missionary o f pleasure," and aimed at educating students about their bodies and understanding sexual pleasure. The lecture encouraged safe sex and enlightened the audience about pleasures o f the flesh. As the crowd packed into the lecture hall, a few curious individuals ventured to the table at the front o f the room where a number o f sex toys were on display. As the eager crowd took their seats Harris gave a brief introduction by paying tribute to Marcy Calderon, a human sexuality activist. Weide, with blond braided pig tails, black rimmed vintage glasses, dressed in a black western shirt adorned with embroidered red rose patterns and black leather pants, took the stage. She started the evening by encouraging volunteers from the audience to participate in a game that involved sex anatomy terminology. Volunteers walked to the front o f the room and were challenged to guess t he anatomy term displayed on large pieces o f poster board behind their backs. Clues were shouted out by the audience for the volunteers to guess from, and as Weide had predicted, it was pandemonium. The room erupted into cheers and light-hearted laughter as the crowd shouted descriptions for words like "perineum" and "frenulum." After the short exercise, Weide went into a discussion about the biological anatomy o f male and female genitalia. Weide provided information about anatomy and dispelled myths by answering questions from the audience. Discussion ranged from Kegel exercises, to orgasms, to safe sex, to masturbation, and a variety o f other sexual topics. After the discussion, Weide turned to the sex toy table. She explained the design, application, and safe use o f the various toys and passed them through the audience. The lecture hall buzzed with the sound o f vibrators and a few brave audience members even volunteered to model for the "strap on" products. After answering questions and the toys were put away, Weide encouraged everyone to have a safe and fun spring break. " I was concerned that in a workshop like this that everyone would be quiet, but I was surprised at the level o f comfort," Harris said. Weide, a sociology graduate, has been an activist since 1995, and said she enjoys leading sex toy workshops and the opportunity to educate people, while organizing against groups encouraging the oppression o f sexuality. Weide said she has not faced much opposition to her workshops. " I think people selfselect," she said. "People -who don't want to hear about it don't s howup."

George Carlson, the first facilities director at CSUSM initiated and supported the Transition Program in 1994 - a program involving emotionally or physically disabled students who learn skills to become more productive in personal and social situations. Currently, Chuck Walden, facilities director, supports the program. The students seen working in teams around campus and eating lunch next to you in the Dome are part o f the Transition Program. The program is involved with Vista Unified School District teachers Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski.

This course They all meet around is held during the school semester and helps them learn functional living skills. The students are chosen for the program, which is comparable to an internship, based on their productive level. The students are paid a stipend, based on how they follow directions and their level o f productivity, as well as the initiative they show. The program also helps them mainstream into the real world and interact socially with some o f the students and staff on campus. Some students end up with the ability to get jobs in the fast food industry and two o f the students will soon be working for the Dome cafeteria. This program is a " win w in situation," Hanson said.

I m ust say that I a m n ot proud o f m y schools election process this year and I do not see how anyone can feel " proud" o f t heir school when an election o f this magnitude is r un w ith every candidate running unopposed and with A SI failing to properly inform the student body (that is us). I feel no sense o f c ommunity when A SI alienates the student b ody i n this way. Again, I ask with a sense o f urgency that P resident K aren Haynes looks into this matter immediately. I f I were President o f a prestigious and growing University, such as Cal State San Marcos, I would not allow a matter like this to go unaddressed.

It also represents the typical liberal " tax and s pend" ideas: We d on't have enough money to support something, so let's make the students pay for it. We can save the ELC for j ust 4 dollars a semester, this is true. But I think w e're missing the point here. It is wrong for a student to pay additional fees for a parking garage he or she will never use j ust as it is wrong for a student' Beer Nuts By: chad Spinks to pay additional fees for a childcare center he or she will never need. The same people who complain about increased parking fees are the same people who push us to pay more for the ELC. The difference between the issues is only a matter o f degree.

ASI Vice President of External A ffairs Erik Roper said of the damage, "It looks like a k nife cut. It looks like someone intentionally cut it." ASI addressed the issue in its Friday board meeting agenda, in which Executive V P John G ehris disagreed with Roper, saying, "It was more than likely caused by an accident. It was not intentionally gashed." Beau Faasamala, member of the Lounge K rew (LK), an u nofficial c ommunity of over 50 students who f requent the lounge, said in t his regard, "We would never destroy f urniture intentionally.

Dr. Fritz Kreisler f orm of help. The three licensed psychologists, along with t hree interns, working at SHS have provided an open ear to several different cases, f rom stress management and sexual f rustration to eating disorders and substance abuse. Problems don't always need to have f ace value, but can pertain to events f rom one's past. Psychologist Fritz Kreisler says, "Many students use our services to t alk about past concerns, such as childhood abuse or molestation, and how these might b e a ffecting them now.... You name it, and w e'll work with it." Although there isn't anywhere closer for students to go, SHS will o ften bring special events and presentations to the campus. Support groups are also available. While the recent f ee increase couldn't b ring SHS onto the campus immediately, it has helped the counseling department. "It is likely that the fee increase will support an increase psychiatry services, which are definitely needed," said Kreisler. " In addition, the health facilities fee will [hopefully] someday result in the entire Student Health and Counseling area to move back to the campus, in a facility that we help design for our purposes." enrollment for the 2004-2005 school year, ASI needs t o either cut f unds f rom the P rogramming Board, which coordinates student activities, or cut f unding to the ELC. The third option is adding a $10 student fee to balance their budget. The board of directors h as chosen the third option in order to let the students decide if the ELC will remain open. Starting immediately, ASI will b e distributing surveys to students regarding the new f ee referendum in the fall. ASI President and CEO Honey F olkencouragedparents, students and teachers at the meeting to "pound the pavement" and help get the surveys completed by as many students as possible. "We really have to work in conjunction together," said Emberly Barking, student and parent of t wo children at the ELC. Folk explained to the parents that if the fee referendum goes t o the students in the f all and fails, then the ELC will close. " I don't t hink it's a wise decision, regardless of what the survey says. I don't t hink we should go to referendum at all," said E rin Dalman, ASI vice president of communications. E rik Roper, ASI vice president of external a ffairs, replied, " Contrary to E rin Dalman, we should t ake to a referendum. T his is not a dollars and cents thing. I t's people's lives. It should go to referendum to let the students choose if this is the right t hing f or CSUSM." O ne of the options ASI " This i s not a d ollars and c ents t hing. It's p eople's l ives. It s hould g o to r eferendum to let t he s tudents c hoose." Erik Roper announced in their last meeting w as to have an outside company come in and take over the ELC. On Friday, the board of directors voted unanimously against the proposal f rom Education Enrichment Systems. " There would be significant changes to s taff salary and teacher-toddler ratio," said Folk in regards to the Education Enrichment Systems proposal to take over the ELC.

Roper said likewise, "This damage was only the straw that broke the camel's back. We've had issues with having our meetings disrupted by the ruckus and commotion that regularly tends to go on in the lounge." LK member Royce Finlayson said, "They're j ust trying to use that as an excuse to get rid of elements of the society that they don't want hanging around anymore. They've never liked us." Echoing this view, Faasamala said, "Whatever happens in "I w ould c ertainly d isagree t hat t hey're b eing d iscriminated a gainst." Lura Poggi the lounge, we're always the scapegoats." Roper responded to such sentiment in the board meeting, saying, "I hope that the people that frequent the lounge don't think that this is a punishment geared toward any specific group of individuals." Poggi said concordantly, "My experience with them is that we've worked together to find solutions. I would certainly disagree that they're being discriminated against." In an amicable concession among Lounge Krew members and ASI VP of finance Crystal Folk, a formal Student Lounge Committee was initiated at Friday's board meeting, to be chaired by LK member Michael Kosich ("Dr. K"). Dr. K addressed the board with a motion to activate the committee, saying, "I would like to offer my help in any way as a member of the Lounge Krew on campus."

C a r e e r a n d T r a n s f e r S t u d e n t Servio®» C ai S taite S a n fiflarcss �VARIETY Students balancing parenting and higher education BY MICHELLE V ELARDE Pride Staff Writer They look like typical college students sitting outside of Starbucks d rinking c offee and cramming for a midterm. They spend hours in the library, hunched over a computer, researching for reports. They complain about the b rutal commute they face every morning on the freeways of San Diego County. These students, however, have a d ifferent situation—they are parents as well as students. Here at CSUSM, the studentparent population is a diverse group. It is impossible to make generalizations about studentparents, for everybody has a different story to tell. D oing it all: the world of a single mother Claudia Pawlowski, biology major, looks like she j ust graduated high school, with her welltoned figure and her brown hair swept into a casual bun. Nevertheless, she is almost 30, and on Monday at 5 p.m., her day is nowhere close to being over. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Claudia wakes up early to take her nine-year-old daughter to school. A fterwards, she drives f rom El Cajon to San Marcos to make her 9 a.m. class. "Everything is on the go," she said. "My life is overwhelming." When her school day ends in the evening, Claudia then travels to hospitals throughout San Diego and works the graveyard s hift. She spends her night observing people with sleeping disorders, while she herself only sleeps on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the day. Claudia's mother helps her raise her daughter, but Claudia said that most of the work falls on her own shoulders. She said that being a single parent means that she needs to b e her daughter's "mom, dad, brother and sister." Her responsibility as a parent o ften means that school is extremely difficult. "Getting an A is almost impossible," she said. "We both have homework together." She recalled a time when her daughter had a science project due the next day, and she herself had three assignments to finish. Even though continuing her education has been tough, Claudia wants to finish so that she Photo by Michelle Velarde/ The Pride Ryan T homas a nd his d aughter, C anessa, g rocery shop t ogether w hile m om is a t w ork. T homas, like o ther s tudents, b alances m arriage, school a nd p arenting. can set a good example for her daughter. " I want her to know that if your mom could do it, you can do it." A new perspective on education: a married father finishes his education When Ryan Thomas, 26, business major, and his w ife went out on a rare date to see the movie "American Pie," they were asked for their IDs. "We're not what th Tuesday, April 20 from llam-lpm Come on out to the L lDFSry 1 6IT8C6 To Join ASI in celebrating Earth Day at our, 'Ifs-Not-Earth-Day-But-We-Still-Care' event (Earth Day is actually on Thursday, 4/22 this year) you typically t hink of as parents," Ryan said. "We do blend in." Ryan was p art of CSUSM's first f reshman class in 1995. " I was j ust kind of struggling to find my major and my place in the world," he recalled. He later l eft CSUSM in favor of bigger schools in San Luis Obispo. W hen his g irlfriend, a sophomore at CSU Long Beach, became pregnant, she wanted to finish her degree, and Ryan started working f ull-time to support their soon-to-be family. Now, he finds himself back where he started college, CSUSM, with a four-year-old daughter, a college-educated w ife working to support him, and a d ifferent perspective on his education. " My attitude has changed since I was a f reshman," he said. " I'm more focused on my education now t han I probably was back then." "Being a father, and having responsibilities, and having a daughter and having to work without a degree—it put a lot of things in perspective," he said. "Being a parent makes you a better person, and I really believe that, because you look at your kids, and you see what you want t hem to b e like, and you think of yourself at the same time. If I want my kid to b e committed to school and committed to learning, then I have to show that through example." Ryan is taking 19 units, and sees school as his job. He considers himself fortunate to have a supportive wife, because he doesn't think he could do it without her. A s for his daughter, who attends the Extended Learning Center, she is interested in her dad's school life. He recalled her saying, 'Dad, you have six teachSee P ARENTS, page 7 LET'S TILL THE GOVERNOR TO KEEP PUBLIC EDUCATION PUBLIC, NO TO BUDGET CUTS ! E D AFFORDABLE EDUCATION!

Q BT V N M1M A ' By ERIC MERCADO Pride Ombudsman study guide before an exam. Study guides are designed t o help students b efore an exam. They clearly state what the professor thought was important enough for students to study. Study guides cut through the B.S. and avoid curveball questions by professors. Questions should cover material relevant to the professor's teachings and what we have learned. O ften, teachers expect students to k now w hat's on the test without giving clarification. Then they ask a question that they d idn't even cover. Nevertheless, the answer to the N o matter what courses you may b e taking this semester. Many professors opt to hand out study guides before exams. Are these study guides helping students learn or diminishing their education? Throughout my college career, I've had professors give me a question was in the book. Of course, the right answer was on the last page of chapter 12. A fter studying the last 11 chapters for the exam, my eyes must have b een blurred due to the strain. A study guide clarifies what a teacher expects of you to know for the exam. Although study guides may seem like an easy cop out f or studying, the f act of the matter is: you still have to study, gather answers, understand, and c larify the material t o do well. Study guides eliminate time and stress on students who overload their brain with Studentin Spain: inadequate material that a professor may not include in an exam. I applaud teachers who prepare, aid and guide students in a clear direction before a big test. Study guides have b een a big factor for me doing well tests. I know if a teacher gives me a study guide and I don't do well, it's not because the teacher failed, it's because I failed to gather the information and knowledge to succeed. If I know a fastball is coming with no curves, then I control destiny of the outcome. IÉBÈÈÈÈ 1 have learntf I have learned a tremendous amount in the seven months I have been abroad and my learning is f ar f rom over. I can now find my way around the city without a map. I know where to buy cheap groceries. I have learned t o mop instead of vacuum, hand wash the dishes instead of putting them in a dishwasher, and hang up my clothes to d ry because there is no dryer. I have gotten used to seeing legs of h am h ung u p in every bar, market, and g rocery store; shopping f or m ilk that is kept on t he shelf and not in the r efrigerated section; and bagging m y own groceries when it is t ime t o check out. Going t o b ed b efore 1 a.m. now seems early, and waking u p at 5 p.m. a fter a night out on the town is ok. Sundays are for resting; since n othing is open there is nothing to do anyway.

From food and t ravel to culture and acceptance, McGuire says t he e xperience is well w orth it. heating and I now treasure a good heating system and the reassurance of always having hot water. I have learned that cars are not essential, there are other ways of getting around, the best of which is the use of your own two feet. W hen traveling around to other countries, I have learned to always go with your gut feeling. I have learned that there are many closed minded people in the world, some of whom will never change. I have felt the harsh discriminating treatment of being a woman and the prejudices against Americans. I have also met some of the people I admire the most and had some of the best times of my life! Living in a foreign country is not always easy, especially when you haven't yet mastered the language, but for me it has been well worth it. I understand a little bit better how the world works, not j ust how the United States works. I have now seen the s uffering of two nations when their people are attacked by terrorism, and I have witnessed first hand the protests of thousands of people against terrorism and violence. I have learned that you should never let people treat you poorly, even if you don't know how to stand up for yourself, you have the right to. The world can b e b eautiful or it can b e horrendous, sometimes it is j ust a matter of perception. These months I have spent in Spain have enriched my life in many ways and I would advise anyone t hinking about studying abroad to go for it because it will open your eyes to things you would have never known. Lily Mc Guire, CSUSM Student Studying abroad in Spain By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Ombudsman I t hink last week's issue of T he Pride is a sufficient example of the solidification of a semester's worth of work. There is a f eeling of maturation as we come into the final issues of the semester with a good balance of content and a refined process of p utting the paper together. I feel we are moving in the right direction: what do you feel? I was anticipating some f eedback regarding Chad Spink's article about the sex toy workshop, "A pleasurable event," but I did not receive a word on this article. In the past, readers have expressed concern over articles that may be a questionable representation of our campus (i.e. the penis pump and the sex doll articles), yet criticism connected with Spink's article has b een nonexistent. Coming f rom the perspective of someone who actually attended the event, I would say that this workshop was educational and beneficial. I am confident that the f ew h undred other people in attendance would agree with me. I can u nderstand if there were some a ffronted b y such a workshop; however, the pragmatic reality of the p ermeation of inherent sexuality in humans w arrants t he necessity of education on the matter. T hus, I feel the event was suitable f or our campus and the related article does not t arnish our image. What do you t hink? My e -mail address is dolan005@csusm.edu.

The performances included Mariachi Del Sol, a very friendly and interactive mariachi group of beautifully dressed and great performers.

Photo courtesy of Grace Gale By DAVE WERTH Pride Staff Writer "Holy Generic Hardcore Batman!" Grace Gale's new album entitled, "The Worst Stab Wound Ever," proves there are too many generic hardcore bands trying to make it big. Listeners are subjected to fiveminute metal/hardcore songs that follow formulaic song structures, and offer nothing new for listeners. This album is made up of heavy breakdowns, emotionless choruses, and nonexistent melodies. The third track entitled "MRSA in Minor," includes a guitar solo that is the most blatant Iron Maiden rip-off to be recorded, ever. The vocals are lackluster and fail to convey the deep lyrical content that sparks emotion in the heart of every hardcore fan. Single tear. Listeners will find relief in the fact that the drums are semispectacular. Lots of double-kick drum and fast fills, breathe some life into the album. The inability to obtain any information about the band f rom liner notes, or even a website, makes the album even less appealing. The boys in Grace Gale should pay a bit more attention to detail, and spend some time on the production of their next album if they want to "make i t" in the world of hardcore. Although it failed to catch the attention of this critic, it may be of interest to fans of Norma Jean, Poison The Well, Iron Maiden and Converge.

It is t he policy of The Pride not t o print anonymous letters. Research does not always mean spending hours in a laboratory, Worden said. It also includes scholarly and creative activities. As a result, there is a wide range of existing research projects conducted here at CSUSM. Biology professors Thomas Wahlund and Betsy Read, for example, are currently heading a project that studies how certain single-celled m arine algae make coccoliths, which are concretelike structures made f rom calcium carbonate. If they can figure out how the algae makes these structures, that information could b e used to improve medical devices such as heart monitors and scaffolding supports for bone transplants. Wahlund compared finding the right gene(s) to " kind of like (finding) a needle in a haystack, but we've got lots of hay." Another research project, led by Nancy Caine, a psychology professor that studies animal behavior, takes things outdoors. Since 1992, Caine has been involved with the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (CRES). In an area located behind the Wild A nimal Park, Caine studies G eoffroy's marmosets, which are Brazilian primates. On the cultural side, classes taught by anthropology professor Bonnie Bade and computer arts professor Deborah Small work with the San Luis Rey Band of Luiseno Indians. " The goal of our project is to show the vitality of the Luiseno culture today," Small said. O ften, research projects are made possible through grants. There are two t ypes of grants: "We're b etter t eachers b ecause w e d o r esearch, a nd b etter r esearchers b ecause w e're t eachers." -Dr. N ancy C aine internal and external. Internal grants are f unds contributed by the Provost and the Cal State system, and they are given directly to the faculty for research. External grants can come f rom other outside organizations and government agencies, such as the National Institute of Health, which f unds Wahlund and Read's genetics project. " Our faculty are very active in pursuing external grants," Worden said. She estimates that each year, CSUSM faculty and s taff d raft about $20 million in grant proposals, and receive about $5 million in new money. Other faculty members, such as Nancy Caine, do not need grant money to conduct their research projects. " I can do research there (at CRES) without having to I MS «rill be the mm w nipe mû t xcfIbi entertainment event In Sá» Diego thís siimmer. Don't miss It!

The amount of research a f aculty member conducts varies among instructors and departments. " It's something that f aculty and department chairs work out every semester," Worden said. Sometimes this means f aculty must conduct research during the summer, holidays, and weekends. " [The project] engages a great deal of my time and energy," Deborah Small said, noting that it was also extremely rewarding to work and f orm relationships with the members of the Band. She also noted that at times, she and her students would t urn o ff their cameras to stop and cultivate plants with the people they were filming. For some faculty, research is not separate f rom teaching, but : closely linked. " The primary benefit [of research] is that it m akes our f aculty better teachers," Worden said. "It makes them experts in their field, and o ur students are the beneficiaries." I n addition to f aculty members gaining expertise, many students benefit because they are directly involved with these projects. "Since [research] all involves students," Wahlund said, "it's j ust a d ifferent k ind of teaching environment." Caine called working with CRES as an opportunity many students do not get, and said it is "something many young people k ind of d ream of that are interested in animal behavior.

All told, cuts will result in 350 to 400 fewer freshmen and transfer students to be accepted in 2004-05. The majority of enrollment reductions will affect incoming freshman classes. Besides enrollment reductions, the college will need to offer fewer courses and eliminate lecturers for 2004-05, said college Interim Dean Vicki Golich last Wednesday. Concerning course offerings, Associate Dean for Budget and Operations Ranjeeta Ghiara said, "We've been very deliberate about trying to anticipate where the student need is the greatest, and trying to ensure that resources are flowing to those areas. We are always trying to see where the greatest number of students can be served best." Out o f600 sections, the college anticipates 40 fewer offerings in the coming year, said Golich. Ghiara detailed the effect of OPIATES ,from page 1 N eedles like this one are used to inject opiates s uch as heroin directly into the b loodstream. emphasized their use of heroin as a sedative and a cough suppressant. Many movies have been made to show what happens when people develop an addiction to opiates, the most common being heroin. For example, in the movie "Trainspotting" by Irving Welsh and John Hodge, there is a scene that shows what it would feel like to have to "kick the habit." Even the phrase "kicking the habit" comes f rom the exaggerated twitching caused by the drug exiting the body's system. A man named Mark Dillon created a web site aiming to repel children from drugs. Brand names for opiates are slightly different, according to Dillon, because of the people who use the term; scientists and scholars refer to opiates as Opium, Codeine, Morphine, Heroin and Methadone. Not only does he provide accurate information about opiates, but also he provides extensive information about legal and illegal drugs at www.sayno.com. Opius exotic, the sight is pleasing, and the effects are euphorically fatal if they are abused or immensely relieving if the instructions are followed. Kellogg Library evacuated BY ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer The whistling sound of smoke alarms echoed throughout the Kellogg Library Thursday evening, causing the evacuation of all three floors. Students on the library's first floor didn't know what to make of the ear piercing sound and flashing strobe lights. Isidro Zamora, a CSUSM student, said, "I thought it was just another fire drill." Around him were several other students who didn't acknowledge the alarm as threatening until the intercom instructed them to evacuate the premises. Some students casually organized their items, while other fled for the doors leaving back packs and books. Within minutes of the fire alarm, two officers made their entrance on the first floor looking for said Ghiara. Ghiara explained the benefit of the self-support summer session policy, which provides for zero state funding support and essentially privatizes costs, saying, "This allows us to take the f unds that were allocated for summer and offer more courses in fall and spring.

While Trujillo was teaching at the University of Michigan, before he came to CSUSM in 1994, an experiment was conducted that demonstrated a correlation between a person's potential as a drug user and the amount of opiate-like molecules (called endogenous opioids) produced by that person's brain. Ironically, as the United States is currently dedicated to fighting the drug war of today, heroin (among other drugs) used to be legal at different points in history.

Next they must do their homework by exploring all prospective employers. Sources that are available to them are websites, libraries and other search engines. The CATSS website is www.csusm.edu/ CATSS. Statistics show that an employer spends 4 to7 seconds when viewing a resume for the first time. The resume is the first chance to highlight your assets and abilities, so it must be brief and concise. The career and transfer center encourages all students to bring in their resume to critique which is done in 24 hours. Once your resume is completed and critique it can be posted on a website. The career and transfer center also helps prepare students for interviewing by conducting mock interviews. Once all this preparation is completed, students need to talk with each other and explore the hidden job market where j obs are available only by word of mouth. Five to six hundred other people had similar encounters at the 90 booths set up for companies and organizations like the U.S. Army and GEICO Direct. While some students experienced success as they walked through the Job and Resource Fair 2004 that the Career and Transfer Student Services Center (CATSS) hosted, others felt a little less fortunate. Joel Schwartz, an undecided freshman, carrying the f ree pens and pencils recruiters had given him, said he was looking for part time seasonal summer work, and that the fair wasn't really set up for people his age. Another student said there was too much part time work presented and not enough career opportunities. It was evident that the job seeker's confidence and outlook toward the job fair had an influence on success. Rosa Arguelles, a junior in the college of business, said she found possibilities with Wells Fargo, the YMCA and Social If a company doesn't have a certain job, its recruiters can probably point to another company that does. "Eighty to 85 percent ofjobs are found through personal contacts," Wells said. Most employers want students with "soft skills": teamwork and interpersonal skills. Students need to articulate their abilities to companies. support helped us tremendously lecturers that won't be back here to actually augment our fall and next semester, but they might be spring offerings, at the same time back in f uture years as we start offering courses in summer for to get some money flowing back. those who need it."

There will be some f ar we've have had to cut pieces out, but not any f ull programs." To offset the effects of budget reductions, the college will be relying partially on "fundable feasible projects," or providing channels through which outside agencies may contribute financially. "There will be corporate people in the community that will see a d irect relationship to getting good quality graduates out of this university - they may be willing and able to donate equipment," said Golich. Ghiara explained the gravity of the four independent budget reductions to the college in the past year, saying, "Last year we had some money that had been T H E P RIDE Photo by Jon Rodley/77ze Pride Legoland was one of 90 companies at the job fair. Here are several steps of preparing to enter the j ob market. Self-assessment is important. It's imperative for students to know what they want out of life. What are their strengths and weaknesses? What skills and abilities do they have to offer the employer and, most importantly, what is their ability to articulate those abilities to sell themselves to the employer? Security. "It was a great chance to meet people for making connections," Arguelles said. Granted that only limited jobs are available at a job fair, Pam Wells, associate director for the CATSS said that "everybody is a potential contact."

"Any kind of (work experience) is something to add to a resume." While the j ob fair is not to be c onfused with a career fair, it does give students an eye into the working world. Jessica Brooks, a non-student f rom San Diego has j ust that. She said she's been to 15 j ob fairs in the past month and found the fair a "very promising experience." A s the wind calmed and the fair came to a close, Brooks walked away with resumes, notes, and brochures in her hands. With the right j ob in mind she said she would "go home and fill out an application . .. and send it in." For education and graduate students the CATSS will host an Education j ob fair Friday, April 23 and will also host a graduate/professional school fair October 18. CUTS,from page 2 rolled over f rom prior years, so we had a little cushion going into last year.

Fair Trade movement Tuesday, April 20, 2004 an average of $4 per day, less than one cup of latte at the corner Starbucks. Coffee is a worldwide product, second only to oil as a commodity, requiring the labor of millions of people in nearly 80 countries. The producers, many small independent farmers, however, can't sell their coffee directly to the marketplace. Given the lack of co-ops, unions, or other organized groups, they are forced to sell their beans to middlemen at prices drastically below the market price or value of their harvest. These organizations, by virtue oftheir size andpurchasingpower, then influence the worldwide price for wholesale beans. Compounding the problem, many of the small farmers must go to the middlemen for pre-harvest loans, often at high interest rates, furthering the debt cycle between the farmer and the middlemen. The upshot of this apparent injustice is the "Fair Trade" coffee movement. Inspired by groups such as TradeFair, Oxfam Canada, Oxfam America and other non-profit groups committed to seeking solutions for hunger and poverty worldwide, it promotes the direct purchase of coffee beans from certified Fair Trade producers. Additionally, it encourages the formation of democratic cooperatives or associations controlled by the farmers. These associations must also commit to implementing crop management and environmental protection plans to ensure the safety of the environment. Indeed premiums are offered to those willing to work towards organic production. Dripping more cash on down to the coffee farmer by cutting out the middleman BY JEN JONES Pride Staff Writer It comes as no surprise to most that a million dollar Harry Winston diamond necklace did "not cost H arry Winston anywhere near a million dollars to produce. In fact Harry Winston did not mine, cut, polish or even set the diamond. Middlemen did this and took their cut. The same can be said for many commodities that pass through middlemen on the way to the consumer. Nevertheless, the disparity between how much a producer is able to command for his product, versus the retail amount eventually charged for the product, has never been greater, or more unjust, than that facing the small independent coffee farmer. According to Oxfam Canada, of the 25 million coffee producers, approximately 15 million are small farmers. And TradeFair, an organization dedicated to abolishing unjust working conditions in Latin America, claims many small, independent coffee farmers earn University V oice What is the worst thing about being a student?

For this award students from all campuses compete and one student from each department is chosen. It is a hard award to achieve and will " When I f irst h eard a bout it91 c ouldn't e ven b elieve i t. I t hought t hey m ade a m istake." C arlos C astellano help Castellano in getting into the Grad school of his choice. "When I first heard about it, I couldn't even believe it," Castellano said. "I thought they made a mistake." Castellano feels that his first conference helped him to win the award because his paper on the deconstruction of genders and women repression that he had presented was shortly thereafter published. "It really helped me to have professor VonSon push me to my potential. I was really afraid at my first conference because I was presenting my student written paper to a group of doctors and experts. Having someone stand by your side is very encouraging," Castellano said. "Usually I really love everything that I do. I love music. I love teaching. I love literature," Castellano said. "It feels nice that I was recognized because all of my classmates are making the great efforts as well. We all deserve the award, not just me." Castellano hopes to make a difference in the lives of others and their careers the same way some of his professors have helped him. He encourages other professors to focus on each student's future and potential, to go beyond the class requirements and help the students to the next level of their future. "If I did not have that type of support I would not have won the grad student award," Castellano said, "And would not be where I am today."

In 2000, the price paid by the middlemen to the farmer was only .38 cents per pound. Fair Trade guarantees $1.26 per pound. Not all Free Trade claims can be taken at face value. Recently, a coffee-roasting company in Massachusetts, Dean's Beans Organic Coffee Company, took aim at a popular brand, Newman's Own Organics, for being less than t ruthful in its claim to be a Fair Trade coffee company. Newman's Own had recently started its own Fair Trade Line of coffee, claiming that its coffee was of Fair Trade origin. Dean's Beans, which purchased all 250,000 pounds of its coffee beans f rom Third World farmers at prevailing Fair Trade prices, claims that Newman's Own merely includes an insignificant amount of Fair Trade beans in its mix, so as to use Fair Trade solely as a marketing ploy. While it will likely take a long time to change the buying patterns of the largest retail coffee companies in the United States, some progress is being made. Universities, such as Tufts, and Brown are already using Fair Trade coffee. Starbucks, one of the largest coffee retailers in the world, has agreed to implement a one-year trial with the product to see if its customers like it. Locally, The Educated Bean sells Fair Trade coffee right here on campus. Keith Kramer, who works at the Educated Bean, said, "He wishes more people supported I wish m ore p eople s u p p o r t e d F air T rade." Keith Kramer, owner E ducated B ean is "happy that the Educated Bean is selling Fair Trade coffee, because it insures that farmers are paid fairly and able to provide for their families."

Personally I was aware that you were able to run for ASI. It was clearly posted on message boards around campus. I don't think you could go through a day of school and not pass an announcement that there were ASI elections. ASI even gave us chances to run as a write in. I do not think this is socialism, this is democracy. Those who don't participate in the process will not get their voice heard. I am disappointed that there was such a low turn out of candidates - we lack university life. Personally I think this student was j ust disgruntled because, like me we were too lazy to go in to the ASI office, and fill out an application. I have a message for all students if you're interested: RUN, it's not hard. As for the person who wrote the article about a proposed cost of $4 per semester in child care, I think you should step back and imagine if you were a college student with a baby. If you have a baby you don't exactly have all the money in the world. To have a day care that is close, reliable and cheap will alleviate tension for the mother or father. They will then be more productive and will learn faster. This is true for all jobs. If corporations or employers offered complementary child care, they would be more productive because the parent w on't worry about the kid. Think of it as an investment. I 'd like to close by saying fussing and crying won't do something, action will, running for office will. Please participate in the process active students create to make an active campus - it will be fun and interesting. It will be the "college experience!" Felipe Zanartu undeclared, sophomore Posting on boards is not active enough Dear Mr.Zanartu: I'm glad to hear that you were one of the VERY FEW students who were privileged to hear about the ASI elections this year. I am also aware that messages were posted on message boards around the campus. However, as you should know, student response is typically low from anything posted on the message boards. I know this because of my own experiences with the boards. You are right; I probably couldn't have gone a day without passing one of the posted messages on the boards. Just because students are "passing b y" these boards, does not imply that they are reading them. This is simply not an efficient way to reach out to the student population for an event of this magnitude. Yes, it is quite amazing that there are so many opportunities at our university that go unfulfilled. What a shame. Also, you claim that in order to complain you must participate. Where is this written in any rules? I must have missed that. Criticism is often a way to participate in a democracy. Censorship of criticism is totalitarianism. Also, for your information I DID run for office last year. I believe that fact, more than anything, gives me the right to be critical of the failures of our current ASI board members. In exercising my Constitutional right to freely express myself, you have found fault. I find that ironic considering the club you are a member of and what it advocates - PAN. In closing, you state that "crying and fussing" won't do anything, action will. My response to this as far as the ASI election is concerned: any productive ACTIONS taken by ASI in the first place would have eliminated any criticism on my part. Respectfully, Austin Myers Senior, Social Sciences Major It's not ASI's fault regarding election turnout Dr Mr. Myers: Thank you for your input. Please understand I am not trying to suppress your freedom of speech, I love free speech. Some times criticism sounds like suppression - it certainly feels like that when I argue over issues like war and the patriot act and I am called unpatriotic. We are better than that, and if you feel I suppressed your free speech I am sorry, please forgive me. Regarding action, I believe like you criticism is good. Even though every time I criticize the right I am attacked. I understand their attack is like going on defense. Please understand it sucks to have a student government that wins unopposed, but it happens some times even in the local elections. However this is not something you can entirely blame on ASI. As you know, I stated I f eel this campus has a serious lack of campus life. A lot of the time we have people who don't care for either side* It sucks, but Students debate how ASI handled this year's election you know there are people who care about office, and at least in my opinion, they would look at the message boards in order t a change campus policy. Once again, thank you for your response. I love debate and I don't want to live in a totalitarian regime. In fáct Nick B. (CR's) and I are organizing a debate (fair and balanced) to get out the vote and inform people on our side of the issues. I hope we have your blessings with that event. Thank you once again for your response. Respectfiilly, Felipe Robinson Zañartu Internal VP, Historian, PANews Help would be better than criticism accountability would've resonated with you since y ou're a republican and that's one of republicanisms core principles - but I guess I was wrong. You suggest that your antics have somehow "enraged" me - nothing could be further from the truth. On the one hand, your letters make me laugh. On the other hand, your letters make me sad because they are indicative of the poison that has seeped into the American democratic process. What I mean is that, too often not only in our politics but in our lives, when people have a problem with something, they somehow feel their civic duty is upheld by doing nothing more than nay-saying, when what is really needed is that they engage their political leaders with not only their nay-saying, but their suggestions for how their world could be improved for the benefit of all in the future. If anything, I think anyone looking at our two letters next to each other would see that it is you, not I, who is "enraged." Maybe if you hadn't bottled up all your ideas for how the elections could've been better promoted during the process, you wouldn't currently be harboring all that psychologically unhealthy anger. You might want to do something about that. "Respectfully" Your #1 Fan, Erik Roper Austin, I didn't attack you. I merely pointed out a glaring irony in your exercise of free speech. I never said you weren't entitled to your opinion either. Also, you are incorrect in asserting that it is my job to inform the students about elections. It is a task for the entire board of directors, with the effort typically being spearheaded by the ASI Elections Committee. But, you would've known that if you had ever bothered to engage ASI with your concerns about the degree of elections publicity at any time during the process. Additionally, with regard to the first sentence of your most recent "respectfully" rendered message to me, I never asserted that it was your j ob to publicize the election. I was merely pointing out that your passion for this issue seems highly incongruent with your Dear Mr. Roper, Erin Dalman lack of suggestions for how it and all other ASI Board could be improved and/or your Members: afore mentioned apparent lack I am glad that we all agree that of concern during the elections the ASI elections were a failure process, which was demonstrated this year. by the fact that you never came That was the purpose in my to ASI to voice your concerns. writing the article that was I also think it pertinent to point out that there was just as much, if printed in The Pride. Also, I do apologize for naming only Erik not more advertising to promote Roper and Erin Dalman in my the election this year than last article. According to Erik Roper year - yet less candidates ran I should have named every for office. You assert that ASI member of our ASI board as is to blame for this reduction in participation and I "respectfully" they are all responsible for the publicizing of the ASI election. reject that completely. Also on a different note. I would Democracy is a two-way like to inquire why certain votes street. At some point the people were not accounted for in the need to engage in the democratic election. I know that I and others process of their own volition. voted for a specific individual Government can't do everything who did not appear in the for everybody. Where's the election results as having gained personal responsibility, the any votes. accountability?

I ask that ASI account for EVERY vote and allow for our protest to be heard. I feel my voice is being crushed by those votes for a specific write-in was not tallied. A lso,! would like to know how Mr. Zanartu gained the knowledge of whom I voted for and the others that joined me.I believe this is a blatant violation of my privacy and I am angry about that. As far as my need to do something about my "psychologically unhealthy anger," I have none Mr. Roper. Are you playing a game of "Blame the Victim"? I am quite pleased with the responses I have received from you and others regarding this issue and I believe that I have made a contribution by bringing awareness to the topic at hand. Mr. Roper, do you not also bring awareness to social wrongs via protest? As I recall you did protest the College Republicans SUV show last year and no one criticized your act of protest. However, when I protest in order to bring awareness, it is wrong. This is "highly incongruent." As far as there being enough advertising for the election, I was not even aware one was going on until an article was printed in The Pride about the candidates all running unopposed. Perhaps, advertising was the same as last year: minimal. But I suppose that is what we have come to expect of our ASI leaders: minimal effort for towards truly "student relevant" issues. ASI should have been aware of the need to step it up a notch when they noticed that only a few candidates were applying. With all this said, I am glad that my effort to publicize my criticisms has brought awareness to the issue. That was my sole purpose and I thank you for allowing me to accomplish that. Respectfully, Austin Myers Any last words? Personally, I find it ironic that while Myers spent considerable time over the last two weeks lambasting ASI for how we, in his view, poorly publicized the election, he spent zero time on suggesting ways we could improve the process for next year.

Since the whole incident of receiving the citation I have carried through with a conscious decision of not to park on campus, and by going through with this plan I am no longer supporting the parking regime and its sinister quirky ways.

No cell phones in the library, please BY CLAUDE SAYF Pride Staff Writer Cell phone mania has officially spread like a plague through the United States. Every American has a cell phone and uses it everywhere, including public bathroom stalls and while driving and writing at the same time. People can't afford to miss a call these days. But nowhere is talking, whether on a cell phone or with a friend, more disrespectful than in the library. When I say, "in the library", that includes the computer lab. The library is a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. People go to the library to have some peace and quiet while enjoying a book or educating themselves on a topic of their choice. But Kellogg Library seems to be oblivious to that. People have absolutely no respect for the fact that rule number one in any library in the world is QUIET!

Indeed, the accompanying photograph of a couch sliced open exposing the fluffy goodness of its cushioning would tend to support the headline. However, i s this case, thus far, an example of actual vandalism? The California Penal Code defines vandalism and its penalty in section 594. This definition is as follows: "Every person who maliciously commits any of the following acts with respect to any real or personal property not his or her own, in cases other than those specified by state law, is guilty of vandalism: (1) Defaces with graffiti or other inscribed material, (2) Damages, (3) Destroys." For vandalism t o occur, an individual must "maliciously" deface, damage or destroy property not his or her own. This element has not been proven, a s of yet, in the case of the lounge couch. As I write this column, no person has been charged or even implicated with vandalism for the gash in the lounge couch. In fact, it has not yet been determined if there was malicious intent involved in this incident or if this hap- should be quiet enough for the tired and burnt out student to catch a quick catnap. A place where the sound of pages turning and computers clicking fills the hallways. A place where all cultures meet for the purpose of higher education. A place where knowledge rules and ignorance drools. The point at hand here is being quiet in the library. The computer lab should be reserved for quiet computer time. People need quiet to focus on the task at hand which I 'm sure is the same for all students. Graduate and get out as soon as possible. So quiet down people! ByChadSpinks N o f U i N 6 .

A s the lead for this article, staff writer Kyle Otto writes that this is "an incident of suspected vandalism." That statement is subsequently supported by the presentation of the contrasting interpretations of the incident by ASI VP of External A ffairs, Erik Roper, and Executive VP, John Gehris. Clearly, it is presumptive to identify this episode as a definite case of vandalism. This example is a reminder of how specific words can alter the reality of a situation.

Chargers butting heads with city BY ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer The City of San Diego and the Chargers are in a stalemate, which could take several years of litigation to resolve. Mixed reactions in the community have both sides struggling to gain favor among fans. The Chargers claim they have not been competitive because the current stadium venue isn't bringing in the required revenue when compared t o other NFL franchises. The city of San Diego feels the Chargers are obligated to their contractual use agreement of 1995, which states they must play their home games here in San Diego until 2020 and give the City 10 percent of the gross stadium income. In return the city spent more than $78 million on stadium improvements and a new Chargers practice facility. Who's right and who's wrong? On March 4, 2003, the Chargers delivered a renegotiation notice to the city of San Diego claiming a "triggering event" had occurred. This means that the Chargers are able to shop a different venue if their financial situation falls below a certain threshold in regard to salary caps, NFL broadcasting revenue and stadium gate receipts. Both the Chargers and the city disagree on the meaning of the phrase "triggering event." As a result parties are at odds whether a "triggering event" exists, and if so, the subject matter and scope of the required negotiation to avoid litigation. The city of San Diego would like to reach an agreement outside of court which would benefit both parties, Kir c ampus, Our voice, Take Pride T he Pride Student Newspaper Register f or next fall ¿Tuesdays @ 5:30 p.rog however, neither side is willing to come to that half point yet. The city, however, demands that the Chargers open their financial books to reconcile the disparity, but the Chargers don't quite see it that way. The city of San Diego claims there is insufficient information t o determine if an "impact" exists, since the Chargers aren't opening up their financial books. Go Chargers! With a losing record of 4-12 last season, there is mixed reaction in the community whether the San Diego Chargers should get a new stadium or not. Andrew Middleton, a student here at CSUSM said, "I think there's a better way the city can spend their money, dealing with the homeless situation is a good example." According to the NFL, the city of San Diego has seen its last Super Bowl unless a new stadium is built. Jesse Wood, a student here at CSUSM, believes the Chargers should get a new stadium built, "Yeah, because I think the Chargers generate a lot of money for San Diego." Currently, the city of San Diego and the San Diego Chargers, are in closed negotiation, which would end the ticket guarantee and place a ballot proposal for 2008. Last Thursday represented an inaugural holiday. No, there weren't any presents exchanged or any scurring about looking for eggs. In fact, most people did not even know it was a holiday. Last Thursday was the 5Th anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball. Despite playing with eight Major League Baseball (MLB) teammates on the field, Robinson has announced that every April 15 will forever be known as was alone in the world. Even Jackie Robinson Day. One word though he went through all of can explain my feelings about that suffering Robinson managed to have a successful first year by this — finally. In 1947, Jackie Robinson was winning the rookie of the year signed by Branch Rickey to award.

From there, he eventually joined ABC in 1965. Robinson had more impact on became a star in the Negro the future of baseball than he leagues of baseball. There were much better players in the Negro would ever know. He inspired leagues at the time, but none numerous black baseball players had the ability to shoulder the who are now considered some of responsibility that Robinson took the greatest such as "Hammerin" Hank Aaron and "The say hey on. kid" Willy Mays.

How about free books or a parking permit? Well, now's your chance! The California State Student Association (CSS A), your statewide student government, is currently holding a contest titled the "CSSA Challenge." If you go to www.csustudents.org and answer five simple questions you'll have your chance. And, if you don't win the contest don't worry because your Associated Students is looking out for you. This past weekend we (Manal Yamout and Shannon Barnett, President and VP external affairs elect) attended the monthly CSSA conference hosted by San Francisco State. While at the conference we discussed several issues that could have drastic impacts on the quality of your education and the amount of money in your pocket. These issues ranged from a CSSA sponsored bill aimed at reducing textbook costs to the statewide student walkout planned for April 26th. It's wrong for the state government to balance the budget on the backs of students. That is why we need you to join us in walking out, getting on the bus, and protesting any further increase in our fees. On Monday, April 26th at 9:00am come down to Craven circle by the flag poles to get on the bus and join us in telling the Governor not to raise our fees. Sign up to get on the bus in the ASI office, Commons 207, or email r oper004@csusm.edu for more information.

Maine: Email: • �Bowling for a buck may bring it back (cdreview) By TOM PFINGSTEN Pride Staff Writer On the list of activities popular with college students, where does bowling rank? Obviously nowhere close to sleeping, but somewhere above homework. Most likely invented by men to check out the women they've been dragging along ever since, bowling has fallen out of vogue within the last decade. But lane locations such as the Vista Entertainment Center hope to reel in at least a part of the college crowd with promotions offering discounted rates on shoes, games and food. At the Vista Entertainment Center, "Dollar Tuesdays" are designed to draw students f rom local colleges by renting shoes for a dollar, selling games for a dollar apiece and, at the snack bar, cooking up dollar food specials. A valid student I.D. is required to take advantage of the special rates, which run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and again from 9 p.m. to midnight every Tuesday. With the proliferation of bright, new bowling centers charging four or five dollars per game, older lanes have found that offering good deals is a good way to revive business. And a dollar per sidering that f ull price is $3.75 at the Vista Entertainment Center. Dollar Tuesdays draw a unique crowd, to say the least. Well less than half of t h e bowlers last Tuesd ay w ere from Cal State San Marcos or other local college campuses. The rest of the patrons reflected the diversity of Vista, with skill levels ranging f rom bumper bowlers to would be pros, complete with the post-strike strut (think rooster with a beer belly). Décor in the Vista Entertainment Center heralds back to the glory days of bowling, when games were only a dollar to begin with. Yellow and orange letters accent the brown signs and walls in this seventies, western-themed bowling alley complete with a men's bathroom labeled "Studs." Along the back of the lanes, box seats sit eerily empty, a strange sight for college students used to scavenging for an empty desk. The lanes themselves show signs of good maintenance, and the rest of the equipment is in good condition. The Vista Entertainment Center also has a recently renovated laser tag room, a sports bar and a banquet hall, although none of these are included during Dollar Tuesdays. To help determine where bowling stands in the list of popular student activities, the usual D ollar T uesdays p rovide a s ide-trip i nto a s ubculture s eldom e xplored b y c ollege s tudents. questions apply: Is it convenient? Is it cheap? Besides being both of these, Dollar Tuesdays provide a side-trip into a sub-culture seldom explored by college students (think mullets, tattoos and slippery shoes). Photo illustration by Jeremy Long Student band Angel Carry Me lives among us By ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer They could be sitting next to you in class. You have your suspicions but you can't be sure. Black t-shirt. Tight jeans. Chuck Taylors. It is true. There are rock-stars on campus. Seth Gretlein and Andrew Middleton, two talented students from CSUSM have started a brand new band and they call themselves Angel Carry Me. Their sound is harder than the common interpretation of punk music but not quite death metal. Their vocals sound like a lower toned Davey Havok of AFI. They generate powerful drums and bass sounds that cause the ground to rumble, feet to shake and bodies to move. Gretlein, a 22 year old junior majoring in Communications has more energy than the Energizer Bunny. Even after studying for school and working on campus, Seth can still beat the drums faster and better than certain musicians who strive to be the best. Music will always be a part of Gretlein's life. He used to work at Warehouse music, until it was shut down due to the bittersweet technological development known so profoundly as: the Internet. "The Warehouse was awesome," Gretlein says. His job consisted primarily of helping customers find and purchase music but there weren't always customers in the store. With an open and sometimes empty music store equipped with a top of the line sound system and a five disk CD changer Gretlein spent his time consuming mass amounts of music. Madame Melanie Photy by Allison Sansbury/77ie Pride A s you might have s uspected S eth Gretlein, aka Gremlin, (pictured above) a resident of the University Village A partments, likes to rock. Andrew Middleton, the bassist, is a senior majoring in Communications. He is 23 years old and tutors younger students with a portion of his spare time.

Photo courtesy of Artemis Records By ROGER NARANJO Pride Staff Writer ee Stuck in limbo between pop and soft punk, Sugarcult tries to please both sides of the genre. Their new album entitled, "Palm Trees and Power Lines," is punk pop with no edge. The sound is typical MTV material which is reminiscent of the "American Pie" soundtrack. Drum lines build to climactic crescendos one can anticipate with little enthusiasm. The guitar r iffs are standard, redundant power chords which bands like Blink-182 and Green Day have already done and surpassed. The singer harmonizes well with the guitar melodies and back up vocals; however, he is overpowered by the use of lyrical clichés. One song recites "She's the blade and you're j ust paper." Though this band is musically tight, they seem to be driven by record label executives instead of their own style. They have a good chance in the music industry if they just stick musically to their raw gut instincts. Truly the pop punk explosion has exploded and Sugarcult missed the chance to cash in here in the US. In Japan, however, there seems to be a Sugarcult buzz.

XI NO. 27 Students protest cuts BY TOM PFINGSTEN Pride Staff Writer Hundreds of students f rom San Diego County marched through downtown last Monday as p art of a statewide walk-out in protest of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's proposed budget cuts. Official police estimates counted 750 students in the crowd, which marched f rom San Diego City College through the Gaslamp district to the state building on the 1300 block of Front Street. B efore t he march, protestors on the lawn in f ront of City College chanted and waved signs as organizers detailed the anticipated e ffects of the governor's cuts over a public address system. A similar gathering took place a fter the march in f ront of the state building on Front Street, w here six student government representatives, including one f rom CSUSM, went inside to speak with state officials. In addition to Cal State San Marcos and San Diego State, students f rom UC San Diego and several j unior colleges also attended the rally, chanting call-and-response slogans such as, " What do we want? Stop the cuts! W hen do we want it? N ow!" Passers-by stopped to listen and waiters came out of their restaurants as the noisy crowd worked its way down Market Street.

Other campuses participating in the walkout were UCSD, SDSU, Miramar, Mesa, Southwestern, and San Diego City College. Out of roughly 7,000 students at CSUSM, about 150 applicants signed-up t o o ffer their support, but only 20 students actually showed up "get on the bus", according to Associated Students, Inc. Vice President of External A ffairs, Eric Roper. " I saw an ad in The Pride, but there is not much you can do in the end of the semester," said Robin Willcott, h uman development senior. " If I didn't have to go to class, I would have definitely supported." The protest lasted f rom 9 a.m. until 4 in the a fternoon.

"Although more people should have participated in the protest, without those people who went, nothing would change," Nelson said. Dr. Liliana Rossmann, professor of communications, acknowledged the walkout and stressed the importance of the budget cuts especially when concerning the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). "If EOP gets cut, there will be less first generation college graduates," Rossmann said. "These students are a key component of our student body, unfortunately only a handful of students went on the bus." "I encourage and support student's rights, exercising their power to protect the cost of education and promote positive and safe activism within their campus community," EOP coordinator, Parisa Soltani said "I couldn't go to the protest because I had to work and go to class," ASI College of Business Representative elect, Kelli Klopf said. ASI President and CEO elect, Manal Yamout, explained her opinion as to why more students did not attend. "The timing in regards to the academic calendar is off.

Our schools! Whose streets? Our streets!" WALK-OUT, from page 1 bartender pulled the front doors shut. Drawing even more attention to the protest was the police escort, made up of about a dozen motorcycle cops and a supervising officer who walked in front of the procession. Sergeant Art Doherty of the San Diego Police Department said that he was pleased with the protestors' peaceful nature. "So far they've been very wellbehaved," said Doherty. "I'm glad we can do this stuff. This is America, this isn't Iraq." According to event organizers, anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 faculty could be laid off from the CSU alone as a result of reduced higher education funding. It was also estimated that cuts could force the CSU to reduce Enrollment by up to 50,000 students next year. Other anticipated effects resulting from sweeping cuts to higher education include tuition and fee increases, larger class sizes and the elimination of assistance programs such as the EOP. CSUSM Literature and Writing professor Lance Newman summed up the situation after the march ended in front of the state building: "The effect of these budget cuts is to not only raise student tuition, but to lower faculty working conditions, and that effects the quality of education." He continued, "What happens with increased class sizes is that students, more' and more, are LUNCH: you forced to become passive consumers of knowledge, instead of active producers of knowledge.

The p rogramming board at CSUSM is the organization that promotes campus life.

Relationships bring us pleasure, as well as pain, and when a relationship goes south, the emotional roller coaster ride that ensues is almost too much to take. There are many different paths a relationship can follow. You meet someone, you start dating, you break up and it's done. Or, you meet, start dating, fall in love, get married, have a couple of kids and magically drive off into the sunset in the soccer mom mobile. In talking to some students on campus about relationships, there are a lot of tragic stories out there. John was in a destructive relationship for approximately two years, at least that was the way that he described the relationship. John and his girlfriend were involved in a one-upping contest that involved each of them cheating on each other with former loves and the random encounters with people that they met along the bumpy path of their relationship. "When she walked in the door at the senior prom, I thought she was going to faint," John said. "I told her that I was going to just chill with friends, after she informed me that she was going to go with her ex-boyfriend. The look on her face was priceless to see me there with a date having a great time, or pretending to anyway," he said. The second year of the relationship was coming to an end when John was informed that he had been accepted to a university not close to the town where they lived. "It was raining and I can remember getting out of the truck and just sitting there together smoking when I told her," he said. The best thing that he ever did was to "get outta Dodge," leaving her and the relationship behind. The promise of a new beginning was enough for John to realize that what he had to do was start his life over in a new place without any of the emotional strain that he was dragging around. John accomplished just that and met someone else a couple of years later. They plan to get married in 2005. Lisa's relationship lasted six and a half years and an engagement was on the horizon. Lisa and boyfriend were high school sweethearts and met when she was only 15-years-old. A fter turning 21, Lisa introspectively thought about the direction the relationship was heading; what she wanted from the relationship and the reality of the relationship were different things. There were issues involving drugs and alcohol in the relationship that her partner was not willing to work through, so Lisa bettered herself and broke off the relationship. She has since met someone new and is happier with that relationship. Chris's relationship lasted about a year before it finally ended. Chris was involved with someone younger and it was clear that they never were in the same place on important issues involving the relationship. "That whole princess attitude eventually was a turn off. I gave, and she took and never gave any- thing back," Chris said. The long distance relationship that occurred after she graduated high school and went to college added to the impending doom that the relationship was poised to suffer. In addition, the relationship was so closed off from the outside world, it began to put a strain on the friendships that Chris had prior to this relationship. "She was only concerned about herself, and treated everyone else, besides me, like shit," Chris said. After putting up with the selfishness for some time, Chris finally broke it off. To get through the break up, Chris buried himself in his schoolwork and his job to fill the void that the absence of the relationship had left. Chris is happy now and is involved in another relationship with someone closer to his age. They share a lot of the same ideas about life and seem to be headed in the same direction. Jennifer and her fiance were living together with one of his friends when she began to think about her future and the man she was about to marry. Jennifer's fiancé had no job, no car and no inspiration to do anything but sit around the house. Jennifer relates that he would often think about doing something while listening to music blaring so loud that the foundation of the house, as well as the relationship, were starting to crumble. "Getting out of the relationship was always on my mind," she said. One night after a long day at school and work, Jennifer was trying to sleep and he wouldn't leave her alone. A fter he accused her of cheating on him, Jennifer had decided she had had enough. She proceeded to take off the ring and said, "Here's your goddamn ring back, why don't you go buy yourself a car with it." Jennifer moved in with a friend and is beginning to live her life the way she wants. There were some things that students would agree were good ideas in dealing with break ups. One student put it the best when she said, "Talk to friends, work out, don't drink too much and don't just hook up with anyone to See BREAK UPS, page 5 �BREAKUPS from page 4 forget about the other person." For students who need additionalhelp in dealing with a broken heart, Student Health and Counseling Services across the street from campus, offer brief (usually up to 8 meetings per year) counseling to CSUSM "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becomming more honest or courageous with each other..." Dr. Fritz Kreisler students at no charge. Much of the time a view from a person that you don't know can be more helpful than that of a person that you do know. Dr. Fritz Kreisler, staff psychologist at the counseling center, said, "With couples, most typically, we try to help them with communication skills, becoming more honest or courageous with each other, clarifying what each partner wants from the relationship, helping them decide University Voice whether this relationship is right for them, examining whether Do you have any advice for there are overly controlling the professors on campus? or even abusive elements in the relationship, dealing with excessive jealousy or possessiveness, sexual issues and trust."

Dr. Kreisler also said that if couples or individuals are having difficulties that seem too much to work out on their own, he would recommend they consult with someone they trust, whose view is objective and who respects them. This could be one of the staff members at SHS, or any number of other people.

Williams p ursued t rack until then a mile cool down. This 1980 when h e retired. Coaching t raining cycle is Coach William's Now that my handsome picture accompanies my column, I am getting a lot of feedback around campus regarding topics I should cover. One topic that is constantly being brought to my attention is the f rustration regarding the collegiate athletics here at CSUSM. One common f rustration among students is that CSUSM does not have many collegiate sports, and of t h e collegiate sports that are o ffered are not among the major sports. Not to take away f rom our outstanding track, cross c ountry and golf teams, since they are doing a fine j ob, but those sports are not exactly the 'Britney Spears' of the sports world. Most of u s can remember those times during high school when we went to the football, basketball and baseball games to support the school. We also remember how much f un that was j ust to hang out with f riends while catching a game. Some CSUSM students feel like they are missing out on that athletic competition that high school gave us. " I t hink the f act that we don't have many sports at our school really takes away f rom the college experience," said f reshman Chantal Pasag. Freshman Jade Zwinger said, " I wish we had f ootball. I 've b een going u p to Sah Luis Obispo to watch all of their football games. I have also been to a few SDSU games. Isn't that s ad?" T he point that Zwinger brings up is quite ' sad'; if we want to see a college football game then we have to make our way to another college campus. The lack of support f or the few sports that we do have is of concern as well. Cougar athletes have expressed their f rustration with the f act that there is hardly any support for their teams. Cross country and track athlete A imee Bradley asked, "How do you t hink it feels seeing hardly anyone f rom CSUSM at our events?" Several weeks ago I had that same feeling when I covered t he state surfing championships at San O nofre beach. There was not a single student f rom CSUSM that attended the event other than t he ones competing. I know that the majority of students do not choose to come to CSUSM because of the sports that are o ffered. I also know CSUSM is not exactly a social campus that can b e compared t o the likes of UCSB or Colorado University. H opefully one day our school will o ffer more sports for the students, because sports can do so much f or a college campus. S uccessful p rograms can rack in t he big bucks, dinero, cash, bling-bling or whatever else you call money. Sports c an also b ring notoriety and a wider appeal to the general public, which can b e extremely beneficial f or a university. Everyone ranging f rom cougar athletes to the casual f an h as shared their opinion with m e regarding Cougar athletics. Surprisingly, I do not have all the solutions to your f rustrations. The only suggestion I have is for you to support the teams that we do have, even if you don't see them as Britney Spears.

A fterward they went to Balboa Park and listened to a reggae band to reward themselves. They deserve an award f or their organized e ffort at f ree speech. They protested cuts that according to H.D. Palmer, a spokesperson for the state finance department, are due to California's "worst fiscal crisis ever." California doesn't have enough money so Gov. Schwarzenegger and h is associates did not raise taxes and is forcing t he California higher education systems to cut even more f rom their already lean p rogramming. One of the results is raised tuition and fees. Universities and colleges throughout the entire 50 states are experiencing the same thing. But students in California pay less f or school than the vast majority of other universities in the country.. Students in California pay 21 cents to the dollar to r un the CSU system, Palmer said. Recently student f ees f or t he CSU j umped 30 percent since 2003 and another 10 percent is expected for 2004-2005. The "Student Charges & Financial Aid 2003-2004"survey, conducted b ylhe National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC), reported that national resident undergrad tuition and f ees increased by 13.9 percent f rom the 20022003 academic year. Graduate student fees increased by 11.5 percent. It is the "largest single-year increase in more than a decade" the report stated. A nd American students a ren't alone in their tuition increases, it's happening worldwide. But one disappointing e ffect f rom the cuts, f or California anyway, i s the termination of Educational O pportunity and Outreach Programs. These are necessary tools to recruit and aid students f rom underprivileged backgrounds. These students whose parents didn't go to college, who don't make enough money, and don't know how to send their intelligent children to college, need the opportunity to step u p because above all, they are people who deserve a chance. We need these students in the system f or themselves and f or the state. Another r eport by the N ASULGC states that f or every dollar invested in higher education, there is a five dollar r eturn to t he economy. But t hat's not going to happen if colleges throughout the state shut down their p rograms and limit education. A representative f or Chancellor Reed, Clara Potes-Fellows, said, "it is a very strenuous and delicate negotiation process." The Governor, the legislators and the Chancellor all want t o go in their own direction. She said we can expect less classes due the cuts, so that tells how the negotiations are going. B ut Palmer would not comment on t he f uture of h igher education in the state. He said it depends on state revenues and on what revisions have b een m ade f or t he M ay budget proposal. So while t he C alifornia state d epartment of finance work w ith the Governor, CSU b oard of t rustees, and other state agencies on c rafting t he May budget, several h undred Southern C alifornia students decided t o express t heir f rustration over t he peel b ack of state f unding. T hey all j umped on a b us yesterday t o storm t he G overnor's o ffice in San Diego. T hen they all went to listen t o a reggae b and. Well nice t o k now we still have t he f reedom of t he first a mendment in San Diego. Eric Roper, w ho helped p lan t he event, said it would t ake a lot more t han a f ew h undred students m arching to have a n influence on t he state legislators. A ll t he state employees c urrently c rafting the budget a re in such hectic environment to finish it, that who knows if t hey'll give more than a couple seconds notice to t he news of student protests. Potes-Fellows said, if the students make themselves heard then legislators and the governor will realize that someone is s uffering when they apply budget cutbacks. A nd t hat's what it takes — pro-active people t aking a stand f or what they believe in. Compliments to those w ho c ared enough to practice their right to f ree speech and o rganized protest yesterday. You a re all heroes of the CSU system, a nd of t he A merican legacy. Appreciating knowledge as our professors' s ift R v T A S O N ROBBINS By JASON R ORRTNS: Pride StaffWriter who distribute knowledge the most effectively.

I later came to the conclusion that he i s j ust supersmart. In addition to his seemingly paranormal understanding of events, I must also recognize Dr. A rnade's passion f or teaching. I recall one slideshow about the architecture of Cathedrals in Europe; a topic one may regard as bland. Well it was not bland to Professor A rnade.

Since the store opened in 2003, w e have been attempting to get copies of book requisitions from the university, to no avail. The university's position is that Aztec Shops, because of its legal structure, is not subject to the California Public Records Act, which opens the business of its public institutions to citizens. This, despite the f act that it allows the o ff-campus store at San Diego State, where it also operates the oncampus bookstore, access to its requisitions. This, despite the fact that state universities all over California routinely hand over requisitions to their off-campus competitors. This, despite the fact that Cal State's bookstore and university allow other members of the public - namely, publisher's representatives - to view the material it denies us. I have a few problems with this treatment. First, Aztec Shops is an agent of the university and should be subject to the same legal strictures. If they outsourced their personnel management to a foundation, would they be exempt from labor laws? Second, and more important, should a public institution be in the business of stifling competition so that it can charge higher prices f or its books? Who benefits.. .the students who p ay higher prices f or their books? The community, who loses a taxpaying business? Thirdly, why should w e b e singled out f or p oor treatment? Because w e're new? Because Aztec Shops and C SUSM think they can drag their f eet until w e disappear? I wanted the student community and public to b e aware that perhaps the Cal State San Marcos administration and its agents may not have the best interests of students and public in mind. From m y perspective, at least, there appears to b e another agenda at work. Sincerely, John Kilby Manager, Discount Campus Books Vote to get George Bush out of office reported "Bush has spent all or part of 500 days in office at one of his three retreats, or more than 40 percent of his presidency." This is only a partial list of shortcomings. Admittedly, Mr. Bush does not like to read newspapers or watch television. Perhaps if he did, h e might have a clue as to domestic or world opinion— if he even cared. Students and citizens, I humbly ask that you consider these critical issues and our future; and please— please vote. I am certain our fragile democracy needs your involvement now more than ever.

One section that did, however, prompt questions was the Letter To T he Editor section on the opinion page and the exchange between t he participants who submitted letters. Some readers expressed concern that t he letters went f rom voicing c oncerns over t he ASI elections t o personal battle between Erik Roper and Austin Myers. Other readers thought that t his t ype of exchange was out of place in The Pride. In the name of ART we are being tricked into accepting works that teach new inventive ways to abuse, torture and mutilate the female body. A picture frame contained three photographs. One of a middle aged woman naked and using a hand held electric beater to tantalize her breast. The other two photographs were of young girls also using tools in inappropriate ways.

A look at three artistic organizations at CSUSM B y K YLE OTTO Pride Staff Writer The vivacious spirit of A ztec dance, the passionate p oetry of t he exquisite Spanish tongue, and t he unquenchable fervor of t he young author's imagination are but a f ew colors in the collage of artistic student organizations h ere at CSUSM. Ballet Folkorico Mixtlan P erforming lively dances f rom t he various Mexican states of Jalisco, C hihuahua, and Veracruz, as well as of the Prehispanic A ztec tradition, the student organization, Ballet Folklórico M ixtlán, hesitates at nothing t o b ring t he culture of the Mexican people to t he stage. Vice President of Mixtlán, Rosa Balcazar, remembered visions of her youth, as a little girl in Mexicali, saying, " The people love to dance, they love p arties, they love life, and it's expressed in the music and in t he dance. It reflects back on the people, the culture, on the beliefs, and the lifestyles." Founded in 1999, Mixtlán, its name meaning "People of the Skies," employs its talent for a variety of events, surviving its bustling September p erformance schedule d uring the month of Mexican Independence, as well as f or the May celebrations of Cinco de Mayo, d uring which the club hosts d ance p erformances, sharing the history of their a rt with curious crowds. The organization unabashedly flaunted a brilliant flurry of vibrant red, yellow, orange and white t wirling d resses at the Student Leadership Awards Night h osted by ÁSI last Wednesday evening, and again at the boisterous international f air on Thursday. By attending workshops at San Diego State University, and three-day conferences hosted by Ballet Folklórico companies, such as Panzantes Unidos, in the San Diego area, Mixtlán strives to achieve its goal, as articulated by Balcazar, to "learn about Mexico, through its music and folkloric dance performance, and to create social awareness that educates people about Mexico's history, a rt and culture." Garabatos Likewise b ringing the art of the Latino heritage to CSUSM, the student magazine, Garabatos, invites students f rom the Spanish department and beyond, to let their voices soar with poetry, short stories, essays, and academic work, all published in Spanish at each semester's end. A s President Maria Acuna explained, the organization's name, Garabatos, means " The Scribbles." She said, "We thought it was a good title for the magazine, because i t's what we do. It is the first writing, t he first thing that any person could have a dream to b e a writer, to be a poet. The first thing that we t hink is good comes f rom our heart, f rom our minds." Beginning in 1999, the magazine, an official student organization in 2004, has provided a unique avenue for experimenting authors within the writing classes of the Spanish department to contribute those o ffspring of their hearts and minds. "First they write in the classes, but some students have the passion to write - and who knows, maybe that student who never thought about it, maybe one day will b e a good writer. T hat's one of the visions that I have - giving everybody the opportunity to t ry to do something with their minds and their spirits - to put it in words, and see what happens," said Acuna. Like Mixtlan, Garabatos extends its a rms t o embrace the campus through events such as the annual Dia de los Muertos festival, f or which it has, f or the past two years, hosted a creative writing table f or "anybody who wants to come over and w rite Calavaritas - p oems, not serious p oems - very f unny, that you can make u p about your boss or f riend - some people w rite about their professors - it's f unny," said Acuna. Also like their spirited dancing compatriots, the students of Garabatos were featured at the international f air on Wednesday, boldly reciting verses of their writings before a mesmerized audience of fair-goers. Desiring involvement f rom t he community, Acuna sees Garabatos as something comparable to The Pride, established on the university, but not confined to campus. "Everybody can come and participate - even if you don't speak Spanish, even if you're not f rom Cal State San Marcos. We don't want to box ourselves in - we want to b e open to new ideas," she said. Expressing her wish for the f uture of Garabatos, Acuna spoke of workshops the club attends with a similar Spanish student magazine at San Diego State University, saying, "To have more quality on the manuscripts, its ideal to have some professional writers to teach us." Publishing Garabatos' newest issue in May, Acuna, a graduate student of the Spanish master's program, shared her commitment to the magazine despite her g raduation this May, saying, "Next semester I plan to give more time to Garabatos, because this is something that is my passion." Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild A s the muses smile upon the enraptured words of Garabatos, so do they grace with courage the very essence of the writers o f Artistic Rights: A Writing Guild, another creative literary f orum here on campus. Co-chaired by the organization's e-zine publication editors Zachary Pugh, Sherre Myers, and J T Vernon of the literature and writing studies department, Artistic Rights is "A writing guild dedicated to creativity, originality, and works of writing, visual arts, multimedia, music, and what not," said Pugh, a graduate student in the d epartment's master's program. The organization seeks talented contributions f rom its 26 members as well as f rom others in the department, albeit with l ofty publication standards. " We're pretty critical. We like s tuff that has edge to it, we like s tuff that looks like it's had critical readership, that it's not a first d r a f t - a polished work, s tuff that maybe is k ind on the roadblock to f urther publication at another time," said Myers, also a master's student in the department. Publishing a 16-page hard copy to ^various states outside California in 2002, P ugh j oined creative forces with Myers and Vernon f rom a class they shared, to initiate t heir guild. "We wanted t o have workshops on a r egular basis; w e wanted t o have people that were serious about w riting that we could interact with in a c ommunity f ormat. We want t o b e able t o actually have something that, when people read it, they say, 'oh, wow, these people on t his publication actually took some t ime t o w rite, they really a re serious about what t hey're d oing,'" said Myers. "We've k ind of w anted t o t ap the creativity on c ampus here a little more," said P ugh. T he heralding call has b een heeded, indeed. Nearly 50 submissions have b een received b y the editors, to b e pared down to merely 10 to b e published electronically. To p erfect their skills to these demanding standards, guild members regularly meet to workshop pieces they are c rafting, presenting their creations to peers for constructive criticism. Coalescing diligent dedication and unbridled passion, these aspiring writers are lent the ears of fellow dreamers, dripping f rom their tongues the words of their most beloved works, in the thrilling yet challenging atmosphere of dynamic, live reading. "People actually came and read their work at an open f orum, and then we sat down and discussed it," said Vernon. The first issue of A rtistic R ights' publication " will c ome out, f ull force, b efore t he semester is over," said P ugh.

Expires 0S/0S/04(g �What's hot and what's just not By KEVIN B RABEC Pride Staff Writer There is a lot of diversity w hen it comes t o style expression exhibited by students on campus.

We asked some students what they t hink. What's Not? What's Hot? What's Not? "Colors are in and vintage s tuff like 4 0's style dresses with stiletto heals are w hat's h ot." "All those guys that wear too many wristbands, they might as well b e wearing a long sleeve shirt." " Don't copy what everyone else is w earing" and "don't stick to one label m ix and match labels," Michael Washburn, senior. What's Hot? "Converse, j eans, a nd nothing too flashy" and something "ideal for the w eather" What's Not? "One piece b athing suits, no matter what t he situation is," and "Trucker h ats, I a m over it." Laceita A rmstead, senior. What's Hot? "Pleated skirts and belts that look like scarves." What's Not? "Shirts with sayings on t hem like 'No. 1 baseball player' or 'Welcome to Jamaica' and "capris or pants; if you c an't tell the difference don't wear 'em." Kristi Taylor, senior. What's Hot? "Take trends and put a twist on i t" and "whatever your look is own it." Raymond Orias, sophomore. What's Hot?

Although he did not want to drop any classes, he ended u p dropping two because the work load, understandably, became too much for him to handle. Instead of graduating this month like he had expected, he will b e back to finish next fall. "It j ust gets a little bit f rustrating, because you get so close to a goal and you t hink you're working towards something," he said. "There's k ind of a sense of urgency to graduate, and now it's not happening. T hat's probably the hardest thing " " It's that finishing his degree was so tightly linked t o his relationship with his father," said Dr. Fernando Soriano, G orman's human development professor. "He was racing against time, and when (his father) did pass away, he was still racing. You couldn't b e a hamster going 100 miles p er hour. He needed time to grieve."

Graduation ceremonies prior to 2002 were held in the grassy area by Kellogg library in F orum Plaza, but because of the library construction, the graduation site had to relocate this year. Of the move o ff-campus, Villa said, "I have done extensive research, driving u p and down the county looking f or an appropriate venue. Fortunately, Del M ar hosted us. They are a w onderful host and are v ery happy with u s as well." The question of whether the ceremony will ever b e back on campus is still undecided. Villa said the decision is u p to President Haynes, who will determine if and when CSUSM may b e able to accommodate the large amount of graduates again in Forum Plaza.

At the same time that G orman was learning t o write cursive letters as a child, h is father was teaching h im how t o surf. Gorman's fondest memories are of the times he and his father spent surfing together, whether it was taking trips down to Mexico or j ust waking u p and surfing at the Oceanside harbor. "We surfed together f or the better p art of my life. We s urfed every morning together until he fell ill," Gorman said. "We h adn't really went in the water together f or the last three years." "We spent a lot of time together towards the e nd," he said. "We saw each other all the t ime.. .but it still isn't enough time. It causes you to look back at days, like when you were in high school, and you decided t o go surfing with your f riends or someone else, when you could have surfed with your dad." "He was a great dad, you know," Gorman said. "He was there to b e there for you and at the same time to let you know when you were acting up." Soriano could not help but notice the love Gorman h ad for his father. It was a "mutual, b eautiful love that they had f or one another," he said.

T he y ears when h is f ather's illness progressed would prove t o b e some of t he. hardest t imes G orman ever experienced. G orman helped h is f amily take care of his father until he passed away. It w as particularly hard for G orman t o watch his f ather's body give i n t o t he cancer, and remembers doing things that "sons don't envision doing things for their fathers." A nd while the entire duration of his f ather's illness was difficult, losing h im this particular year was hard for Gorman. " He h as been challenged like you wouldn't believe this year," n m r P uha said. "You really have no one t o f all back on b ecause your d ad is k ind of like t he prominent figure when y ou're growing up. So you feel alone," G orman said. School b ecame especially difficult.

"There are many advantages to the celebration being held in Del Mar," she said. "The stage is on the track and the guests have a perfect view of the whole process. You never have to worry about limiting guests." Villa continued, "You don't have to sit in the sun for two hours, there are bathrooms on every level, great picture opportunities and many restaurants nearby. The only complaint we've received was that the guests had to pay for parking. Other than that there have no more complaints." Sheila Manning, a graduate of the 2002 class who is also a current employee in the office of Enrollment Services Management as an information specialist said, "Having been a part of California State University San Marcos commencement as a student and staff member I've seen it f rom both sides and been impressed on both occasions. Not only is it a beautiful venue, it also allows students to invite as many friends and family as they'd like." A concern for some graduating next year may be the cost of such a venue. "The cost does come from student fees," Villa sayd, adding that when AI tracked the budget, they found that the first year in Del Mar was not a significant cost increase. "We rent the site as a package and the vendors are already included in that p ackage traffic, parking attendance, bleachers," Villa said. "Here at Cal State San Marcos we had to higher extra staff, have them work overtime, clean up before and after, hire highway patrol, rent facilities, chairs and bleachers. So they cancel each other out." Charlotte Strauwald, a senior who will graduate May 15, says that she was a little disappointed that the ceremony will be held off-campus but is excited that she gets to invite her ten guests.

It was kinda like being at a club with a whole bunch of your friends without those sleazy guys that hangs out at places like PB Bar & Grill. The ones that hang out between the bar arid the dance floor and hit on every single woman, even the ones you're with. You know the ones. How does it feel to be graduating this month? I 'm excited to be done with school. It will be nice to go home and have no homework to do. Although all my professors would argue that I don't do it any way. It feels good to be recognized for all this work and I 'm also getting a math degree. So, if anyone tries to step, I can be like, 'hey, I 've got a math degree.' What are your plans for the summer? Initially, I was supposed to work. I was supposed to spend this semester looking for a job, but I didn't get around to doing that. So, I 'm probably going to decide if I like Pacifico or Negra Modelo better and hang out with my dog. What will you miss the most about CSUSM? Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin/ The Pride Brett Gladys provides servio with smile at the barbeque luncheon in front of Kellogg Library to promote CSUSM's annual Luau event. I think I 'll miss my friends here a lot. Any last words of encouragement, or advice, for students that will be coming back to CSUSM next year? I often hear people complain about lack of student life on campus, and they're wrong. There is student life on campus. You all hang out in the library and computer labs talking on Instant Messenger. You're sitting in your cars in between classes and your acting way too cool talking on your cell phones. I have a blast every single time I come to campus. And it is not just because I 'm fabulously good looking. It's because I say hi to people. I go up to events and I try hard to make this place into a campus I want to be a part of. So if you want this place to have student life . .. get out of the library and computer labs and your cars, and say hi to somebody on Founders Plaza.

Now that you have worked your brain into shape during the first 15 weeks of the semester which is what I call the regular season of school, it is almost time to show what you are made of. As we heaci f or the home stretch we know w e are getting to the end as we can see the finish line right in front of us. Finals week or as I call it the playoffs, is that week we are all forced to man u p and step into the ring. Some people start preparing weeks in advance f or finals and they usually come out victorious when they write that home run A grade paper or pitch that perfect presentation. However, many people are pressure players like me. We wait until the last possible second to experience the urgency of going into the extra innings of studying at the wee hours of the night. The pressure players usually come out on top by throwing that Hail Mary touchdown to pass the test. Throughout the studying process we occasionally stumble over those hurdles when w e realize there are more exciting things that we could be doing. However, most of us keep our eyes on the trophy. The trophy f or some of you veterans is that piece of paper that you have worked f or which says you are ready to retire from CSUSM. The trophy f or us rookies is j ust the simple fact that we d on't have to set an alarm f or another three months. So, as the p layoffs approach all of us, remember to stick it out. Also d on't forget to keep your eyes on the prize while giving 110 percent. So, with a ll of those sports clichés said, here is two more; Break a leg and go get e m'. SPORTS Women's softball takes 2nd at Nationals BY JONATHAN RODLEY Pride Staff Writer Six months ago 16 girls picked u p bats and gloves and started throwing a softball around. Some had played in highschool, f or others it was their first time stepping onto the field. The girls had t hree coaches, led by Ferman Cardoza, head coach, to guide the Cougars at weekly workouts. " They practiced hard in practice and it showed on the diamond," Cordoza said. The team captain, Tisha McElhiney, scheduled games with other colleges for scrimmage. But these weren't other intramurals, the Cougars played against collegiate level teams. " When w e're out on the field, we push each other, we p ush ourselves," McElhiney said. The team worked together, and as their relationships grew, their skill level improved, she said. A fter 26 games, at 13 and 13, it was t ime f or t he National Championship. I n Chino Hills, at t he field of dreams stadium, they f aced teams f rom around the country. The Cougars crushed their opponents early on with scores like 6 -0 against the Naval Academy and 13-2 with Ohio State. D uring day two, The Cougars defeated the number one seed Kansas State with a w in of 4-2. That landed them automatically in the semis. ' "Are you kidding me, you beat the number one team,' they couldn't believe it," McElhiney said about umpires and other team coaches. "Eventually other teams started playing deep in the field." A fter their success, it was time to f ace once again, The Navel Academy, which squeaked into the final by defeating Kansas State. But the final unfortunately, is where the Cougars played their second and third losses of the tournament. The Cougars' pitcher, Jamie Beaty, served the team proper during its nine game series with 80 strikeouts. McElhainy hit over a .700 during the tournament and both players made it on the M VP team. So a fter training for five months, the team to beat ended u p being a f resh group of f aces f rom Cal State San Marcos. "We did it as a team, and we always have," McElhiney said. "We're doing it for each other." The next season for Cougars softball begins Spring 2005. Collegiate sports sign off for the season BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer As the academic year ends, so does the year in sports f or cougar athletics. Among the highlights f or the Track and Field team includes their performance at Point Loma Invitational finishing 2nd in the Women's 4X400 Meter Relay and finishing 2nd in the M en's 4X800 Meter Relay. The team is coming down the home stretch trying to finish strong. They did so with a victory in the M en's 4X100 Meter Relay at the UCSD Triton Invitational. The team still has the Occidental Invitational May 8 and the Claremont Classic May 15 before the team competes at the N AIA National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. The M en's golf team came into this year with high expectations and they have not disappointed so far. Among the highlights f or the team was claiming 1st place at the Grand Canyon Invitational and a 3ed place finish at the CSU Bakersfield Invitational. The team competed last week in the NAIA Region II championships and took 2nd place overall which means they will be heading to the NAIA national championships in Olathe, Kansas. The Women's golf team did not have the same high expectations that the M en's team had coming into the season, but they did not disappoint either. Among the highlights f or the Women's team was 3ed place finishes at the Western Washington Invitational and at the CSU San Marcos Cougar Invitational. The Cross Country team had a decent season as well. The highlight of the year was a victory at the Vanguard Invitational. They ended strong with back to back top 3 finishes at the regional championships and then at the national championships. So, until next year Cougar fans.

During my time as ombudsman, I communicated with many readers on issues regarding grammar, spelling, content and the political orientation of The Pride. I recall last Semester when the words I heard were rarely good and, in fact, were quite scathing at times; Over time, the hardwork that the staff had been piitting in began to pay o ff: words o fpoignant criticism gave way to compliments on the recognized progress that The Pride was making. Even so, I was certain that some readers would never be won over by any effort that The Pride staff exerted to rectify the paper. However, my certainty was dispelled when some of the harshest critics emailed me acknowledge the steady progress and advancement of Thej^ride. I thank a Uof you who did let me know your thoughts on what we were doing, especially those who were particularly harsh, because without fhat honest feedback, there would have not been t hi spark to initiate the change fer tWs semester; Over t he course o^the past semester, The JPride has truly solidified into a decent newspaper embodying the breadth of interests that comprise our campus community here at CSUSM. Th§ u i^w&aieiit T he Pridb has undergone is due t o the dedication and hard work of the staff, from both this semester and last, as well a s the interests and concerns expressed by readers in the feedback t received through email a nd in pdrson, Without reader feedback, The Pride wouW b e lacking in direction since our purpose k t o provide a varietyof stories that inform and also entertain our r eader. In addition to being the last edition of this semester and, as such this academic school year, t hisedition of The Pride also represents the tost edition in which I will be assuming the role of ombudsman.

The Pride apologizes for these errors,-;' As the Co-Editors-in-Chief, we would like to finally introduce ourselves to our readers and give proper recognition to the dedication of those that we could not have done this without. At the beginning of the school year, The Pride began with two Editor-in-Chiefs, Jon Rodley and Elizabeth Baldwin. Jon had previous experience in journalism. Elizabeth had a strong foundation in accounting management. The two of us joined forces and set out to use our individual talents to create the best weekly newspaper possible. Each week, we strive to make The Pride fair and balanced, entertaining and accessible to all students. We are very proud of all the challenges we faced at the beginning of the year. Through long hours, constant compromise and a committed staff, we have conquered every obstacle in our way. A standing ovation to our section editors who have brought so much creative genius to The Pride and have accomplished their jobs with the smallest amount of resources possible: Sarah Carlin, Katie Sammons, Lisa George, Melissa Rodriguez and Tom Pfingston. Yes, mistakes have been made in The Pride (as many of our readers have pointed out). A huge round of applause goes to our Ombudsman, Mike Dolan, for his tireless effort to correct all of our errors. A hip-hip-hurray to our adviser, Jenifer Woodring, who has been our constant cheerleader guiding us through all the ups and downs of a college newspaper. And most importantly, we take a humble bow to our readers. We value all of our readers and thank you for your support. It is so wonderful to see students sitting on benches in Founders Plaza reading a copy of The Pride. We wish you a fabulous summer.

Ironically, it was that book that inspired Robert to become a writer. " I feel like that is something I can o ffer to the world," said the graduating senior. Woerheide, who was published in CSUSM's Pride Literary Supplement, also arose as a leader in the creative writing c ommunity on campus. " He was great at giving feedback," said creative writing teacher Dr. Profe Cesmat, "Robert gives the same respect to a rough d raft as he does to a masterpiece."

Her eyes light u p when she said that on her mother's side she's the first generation child to get a degree. Foley is graduating with a degree in visual arts with an emphasis on education. Born in Guatemala, she was adopted at 3 and a half years of age and lived in Colorado till age n ine before moving to California. H er love f or working with kids and the desire to b e a teacher inspire and motivate her to stay focused. Foley said that during difficult t imes when she wanted to throw Woerheide has also b een p ublished in the San Diego Troubadour and INSPORTS Magazine. Along with some other CSUSM students h e spearheaded an online literary j ournal called Perigee. "Just o ffering a venue through which people can b e published, I t hink, is a good thing," Woerheide said. Dr. Cesmat agreed, and nominated h im for a Vice President for Student A ffairs Service Award. " He's building the next generation of literary a rts here in N orth San Diego County," Cesmat said.

These people were instrumental in understanding the commitment she had to make and help he concentrate on her goal. Her advice to others is to b e committed to their goals and dreams, don't give up, one day it will all come together. She said she loved the writing requirements at California State University San Marcos because it has improved her writing skills and she believes her instructions have pushed her go beyond her expectations.

N o Gain is a f our piece, speedy p op p unk band out of Tokyo, Japan, that serves u p a sound reminiscent of F.Y.P., Spazz and Hi-Standard. " It's O utrageous" the debut album f rom N o Gain is twelve tracks of uninhibited songs about girls, surfing, and hardcore breakups, all done with Japanese style. From the v ery first track titled "Never Change," listeners c an't help but b e drawn into the f our p art vocal harmonies, simple chord progressions, and melodies that will stick with you for days to come. N o Gain singer, Archy, delivers a performance comparable to Jello B iafra of the Dead Kennedys, while guitarists Dee and Maki, back h im up with strong harmonies that are best described as, GLORIOUS! D rummer A 2 delivers the final blow t o listeners with doubletime beats and super quick fills, that make you feel like your h eart may explode. Overall, this album is m ade f or those people w ho j ust want to f reak out in their living r oom, with t unes t o accompany t heir mental breakdown. I f you have high blood pressure, d on't like new music, and are u nder h igh stress f rom your u neventful l ife, you may want to stray away f rom this album.
