X I I N O. 1 as ••I Discount Campus Books shafted once again By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride StafFWriter Discount Campus Books, an off-campus bookstore, once again has faced challenges in obtaining textbook information for the fall semester. The bookstore, which touts itself for its 10 percent used book discount off the University Bookstore price, has served the university with a lawsuit for violating the California Public Records Act due to the lack of information sharing. According to the California Public Records Act, any record that is not confidential is public record said John Kilby, manager of the store located across Twin Oaks Valley Rd. from the university. Therefore, if the university retains a record of the books ordered each semester, then that information is public record. "I think we should have the same access (to the booklist) as other entities," said Kilby. "The information is getting to Aztec Shops; it should get to us too." Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride Aztec Shops run the University Bookstore under a contract from the California State University San Marcos Foundation. The Foundation is a separate organization from the university and therefore not subject to the California Public Records Act TTl e B a r e N ECEi 5SITIES -Wear comfortable shoes. -Arrive early for the best parking spaces. -Make a hard copy, an email copy and disk copy of all important documents. -Take your CCR exam as soon as possible. -Mini skirts and stairs do not mix. -Drink plenty of fluids. -If someone is on their cell phone, do not interrupt to ask directions to the library. -Turn off your cell phone in class. -Don't be afraid to go number 2 in the bathroom. -Save money; buy used books. does not apply to the Foundation," said Smith. "The information they have is not public information." However, it is a question of how that information is collectedthat is the issue of contention from Cal State San Marcos. The university maintains that Aztec Shops collect book information independently and there is no resource at the university level that collects or retains this information. "We are not asking Aztec Shops for the information," said Kilby. "All we are asking for is the same access to the booklist as the (university) bookstore has." In the meantime, Kilby plays a guessing game of the books to order; in the back of the store are 39 cartons of books waiting to be returned. The cartons are filled with books that Kilby ordered based on booklists from past semesters, but that are no longer being used in current classes. Kilby maintains that the book said Deborah Smith, risk manager information must be directed for Cai State San Marcos.

Haynes, has prepared for her first full year by creating a new committee. This new committee, which will include a position dedicated to the President of Associated Students, Inc. "I am trying to assure student voices in cabinets and advisory councils and add more substance to the student role," said Haynes.

He contends that it would be easy to require professors to submit booklist information to both Aztec Shops and his store. However, Smith denies there is a record of the book orders placed by professors kept by the university. "(The university) does not keep copies of the booklist," said Smith. At this time, the university does not plan to implement a process to track the books professors order said Smith. Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes affirmed Smith's statement. "It is common practice where a third party runs the bookstore," said Haynes. "The university does not control the books used and we are not the provider of the books," If what both Smith and Haynes said is accurate, then the university has neither knowledge of the books that are ordered nor the content of these books. In the meantime, Kilby relies on the few professors that contact him directly to let him know what books to order. Also, book sales representatives pass the word on to Kilby about the books to be used in the upcoming semester. Student reaction to the limited options for textbook purchases has generally come out in favor of the off-campus bookstore. "I don't think it is right," said Stacy Palchanis, a liberal studies major. "If students are using their own income (to purchase books), they should have a choice " HAYNES, from page 1 All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not necessarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos.

On November 3, President Haynes will be hosting an event, to which faculty, staff and the community will be invited, to celebrate the 15th anniversary of California State University San Marcos. This even will be a platform to show appreciation to the early founders of the University. "This will be a public event for a number of people to come together and connect, or reconnect, and show appreciation to the college's early founders," said Haynes. Later on this semester, the president's website will be getting a make-over. "I am excited that we will be adding streaming video to our website," said Haynes.

Entering its second year in operation, the UVA is filled to capacity once again with minor changes in who can be residents. Since last October, CSUSM current students were encouraged to apply for a spot at UVA. It was not until May 2004 that advertising was made public for non-CSUSM students to join UVA. Advertising was aimed primarily at Palomar College students. Housing for students is determined by date of application. Students that turned A| H in their requests early had a more favorable chance of getting housing. According to Brian Dawson, director of UVA, capacity is once again at its limit. There will be a total of 460 residents with 15 of the students being from Palomar this year. "The students from Palomar will most likely transfer to CSUSM," said Dawson. "This gives them an opportunity and little taste of what our campus is all about." During the summer, it was estimated that over 50 students were on the waitlist to join UVA. Currently there are only 10 students still waiting for housing. Photo by Eric Mercado / The Pride ^ jl n a n K s to the fabulous Jeremy L ong ^ llWANÄD SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!!

This year the world convened in Athens, Greece. The Olympics always seem to grab the casual sports fan more aggressively than professional sports because in the Olympics the athletes are competing for their country rather than for themselves. During the Olympics you find people saying things like, "Wow, did you see the U.S. Men's rowing team win the gold the other day?" I mean, who gets excited about rowing? No one, it's just the fact that these rowers did it for the country. I was with my friend Karin last Thursday when the women's soccer team won the gold medal in overtime. Her mom called her just to ask if she heard the news about the women's soccer team. The Olympics are all about having pride for your country just like that. These Olympics provided many discussions for Americans with a lot of them being centered on the disappointments. Tom Pappas had to drop out of the decathlon due to injury, and Rulon Gardner wasn't able to defend his title in Greco Roman wrestling. Those were two of the largest disappointments. However, the accomplishments by the U.S. competitors are what really stick out in most people's minds. There have been many jaw dropping occurrences in these Olympics. In the past 100 years the United States looked like they were dueling with small butter knives when it came to fencing. However, this year Mariel Zagunis won the first fencing gold medal for the United States Since 1904 to end the drought. One of the more remarkable performances in these Olympics was from the duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May in beach volleyball. The duo beat up on every other country like there was not even another team on the other side of the net. Walsh and May did not even lose a single set during the entire Olympics to give the U.S.A. its first gold in Above: Justin Gatlin, bottom right: Michael Phelps, below: U.S. women's soccer team. Photos courtesy of http://www.nbcolympics.com and http://www.espnstar.com. Gold, silver, and bronze medals. Photo courtesy of http://www.nbcolympics.com beach volleyball history. The only team more dominant than the combo of Walsh and May was the women's softball team. The rest of the world didn't know what they were getting when they signed up for women's softball. The women's softball team won hands down every single game they competed in and outscored their opponents 51-1 during the entire tournament. However, no one has been more interesting to the United States than the young 19-year-old Michael Phelps. Many people set unrealistic expectations for Phelps by saying that he would break the record for most gold medals in one Olympics which is held by Mark Spitz who won 7 gold medals in 1972. Phelps did tie an Olympic record by winning the most medals in one Olympics by capturing eight, but only 6 were gold. Going into the Olympics it was thought to be Michael Phelps versus the world and by the looks of it, he literally defeated the world by capturing more swimming medals than 17 other countries. Since Phelps is only 19 the sky is the limit, and in the 2008 games there is no doubt he will be in China to go after Mark Spitz's gold medal record. The U.S.A also showed off in gymnastics. The U.S. won both the men's and women's individual all around competitions. It marked only the second time in Olympic history in which one country has swept the individual all around. Carly Patterson, 16, won gold for the women and Paul Hamm took it for the men. It will be another four years till the next summer games but hopefully you will keep that same pride for your country over that time. �BACK TO SCHOOL JJrtV^lV Tuesday; August 31, 2004 1 IWWJ-J \J T HE PRIDE Go see "Fahrenheit 9/11" By MICHAEL DOLAN Pride SteffWriter I met a woman over the weekend and we started a conversation that eventually turned to the subject of the war in Iraq. I voiced my disapproval for the war to which she replied, "You're not one of those Michael Moore people, are you?" I confidently answered, "Why yes, I agree wholeheartedly with the work Moore is doing." Seemingly f rustrated she said, "Well, I suppose you are entitled to believe what you want." Indeed, I suppose I am. Michael Moore has received a fair share of both criticism and praise for his eye-opening documentary, "Fahrenheit 9-11." However, no one should be in the position to say that they "suppose" I have a right to EMMA believe what I want just because it disagrees with his or her own opinion: that right is not a supposition. The beauty about Michael Moore's work i s based on his inquisitive nature and his examinations of issues that are important to him. Moore does not sit idly by and let decisions that affect his life go unchallenged. I do not and neither should you. Our society is based on the free exchange of ideas, and the necessary dissention to challenge to those ideas is what makes Moore's work so important. Moore is, in fact, an American in the true sense of the word. We can not honestly say we are free Americans if we choose to ignore the opinion of dissent that Photo courtesy of http://michaelmoore.com BY SARAH CARLIN R40K TO SCHOOL SLICKS An bucks the current actions of the powers to be. Is there anything less American than blindly following the decisions of our leaders without asking the important questions? Go see "Fahrenheit 9-11." Even if you do not agree with Moore, you can never be told that you did make an informed decision based on both sides of the story. In addition, you might see something that will change your mind or inspire you to become more politically motivated. A fter all, we are in college to expand our knowledge and n ot just to be reaffirmed in what we already know. My FR/Ends jroö BUS/ TO «Ardour m W41TÍ WHAT ¿ M I SAYiNe?

"Don't be afraid to take Spanish," said Karla Ontiveros. "Don't feel stressed." To students who dread taking a foreign language class, Ontiveros' excitement for the subject encourages students to consider Spanish. Ontiveros is a graduate student in the Spanish program at Cal State San Marcos who is also teaching two sections of Spanish 102, Beginning Spanish II. Born in Tijuana, Ontiveros moved to Lakeside when she was 16. A fter graduating from El Capitan High School she then moved t o Temecula and began attending Cal State San Marcos. She earned a Bachelors of Arts in Spanish and is currently finishing her Masters of Arts in Spanish. Ontiveros is thinking about pursuing a Ph.D. in linguistics, but is unsure. A Ph.D. might take her away f rom being able to introduce the language to students who are learning it for the first time. Originally, Ontiveros was an accounting major, but found it boring. A fter taking a Spanish linguistics class, she discovered how interesting language can be. Now she wants to bring the excitement of learning a new language to others.

As the lead sleds rumbled to their positions along the old business district of Escondido, sounds of the past filled the air. Food and drink were enjoyed as people came to relive the cruises of the 1950s and 60s. The Downtown Business Association of Escondido (DBA), along with the City of Escondido, is currently holding the fifth season of weekly cruises called Crusin' Grand. The Friday cruises take place on Grand Avenue 5 to 9 p.m., beginning the first Friday in April and running through the last Friday in September. The cruise and show take place along Grand Avenue between Orange Street and North Ivy Street. All vehicles are welcome to cruise Grand Avenue, but after 4 p.m., the City and DBA request that only pre-1974 American vehicles park along the street. Although the event was constructed with American cars in mind, several foreign makes can be seen parked along the avenue as well as a few custom or later model specialty vehicles. Only pre-1974 American vehicles are judged in the show and eligible to receive an award. Awards are given at 8 and 8:45 p.m. on the corner of Broadway and Grand Avenue. There is no entry or registration fee or determined award categories. The public is invited to bring their pre-1974 vehicle to the cruise and show. Parking along Grand Avenue is free, on a first come basis, and there is no time limit a fter 4 p.m. Parking for non-event vehicles is available at the many f ree public lots immediately See CARSHOW, page 2 �Tuesday, September NEWS 7 , 2004 INJJ/VVO T HE P RIDE CARSHOW from page 1 cles.

With a view from my house of the Del Mar fairgrounds and ocean water I have been lucky enough to visit the place "where the turf meets the s urf' on more than one occasion. As the horse racing season at Del Mar comes to an end on September 8, so does the excitement around my little coastal town. Del Mar provided many fun times this summer hanging out with old friends and new friends all the while meeting new interesting people. With a lot of luck this summer surprisingly the track provided me and my friends a place to make some extra cash. The very first bet of the season that my friend Matt placed was a $1 trifecta. A trifecta is where you are predicting the first, second and third 1Jùn place finishers in order. It is a low risk and high reward bet but it rarely will come in. However, his three horses came in exact order and he won over $200 on a $1 bet. The rush from seeing that was unbelievable, but what happened before he got his money no one could have foreseen. He thought that his third horse didn't come in third so he tore up his ticket in frustration of being so close. It turned out to be a photo finish for third and he ended up having to pick up the pieces off the ground and take it to the window and beg for them to accept the ticket. As soon as that happened I had an inkling that this was going to be a wild track season at old Del Mar and I sure was right. Every time I went to the track something new happened. With such a wide variety of people I didn't know what to expect when I would meet someone new. On one occasion I went to the track with my friend Chantal and before we knew it we were hanging out with a prominent sports talk show host. By the end of the day I had met a great contact. Just recently I attended the track with Scott who is a fellow Pride staff writer. I started talking with a jockey who is one of the most famous jockeys to ever ride a horse, Before I realized it I was being chewed out for the fallacies that some newspapers report. By the end of this conversation I saw first hand the beef that some people have with journalists. I could go on about a dozen more stories but mind you these are the stories my friends will allow me to share as many more jaw dropping things did occur on my visits. Of the friends that I took for their * very first visit to the race track they all couldn't wait to go back. Every single one of them would say things like, "What a fun atmosphere" or "What a great place to meet new people" The famous race track saying is "Go baby go". I would like to repeat that one last time as the season is almost upon completion, and I would like to add "but come back real soon". Dude, where's my seatI ByKJMBERLY SCHLATER Pride StaffWriter Churchill's P ub & Grill W e're C SUSM's L ocal P ub! As the new semester begins at Cal State San Marcos, the heavy flow of students racing to get a seat in class just seems to increase. Unfortunately many of the students who have claimed a seat are not even enrolled in the class. Most crashers sit with their fingers crossed as the instructor takes role. After the instructor isfinished,the crashers raise their nervous hands and ask the infamous question, "Are you taking any crashers?" Most instructors are very generous; however their student limit usually ranges from 35 to 40 students per class. Many students get lucky, but a great number get turned away if they are not graduating soon or not the lucky pick in the lottery. So I ask myself, why is this prob- lem just increasing instead of being resolved? The student population at Cal State San Marcos just keeps growing every semester, so why are there not enough classes and instructors to accommodate this ever growing University? This problem needs to be solved before it jeopardizes upper division and graduating students. - Just minutes west of campus at 887 W.

Medulla, a Latin word meaning marrow, is the answer and also the title for the musician's latest album, released August 31st, 2004. Exploring and experimenting with music is what has made Bjork unique, and this uniqueness is demonstrated throughout Medulla to its entirety. The album originally consisted of an assortment of instruments and Bjórk's vocal tracks but upon completion Bjork muted out the instruments leaving solely her vocal tracks. This decision left the album completely acapella. Bjork then brought on a team of human beat boxers consisting primarily of former The Roots member Rahze1, and an u nheard of Dokaka. Rahzel's and Dokaka's human beat boxing can be heard t hroughout album and is at its Sept. 22) Cleanliness %m organization are often your fmj^gest fortesy but that doesn yt need to be true thisjbontk the minutes and a little more time You '11findthat pu ^ and your friends love you more than you LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct ^ have a lot more than you realized, kkew^^^f 22) No one has pewmpftshed all they ever wanted by sitting around.

This month, try taking a role of servitude. Be open to lessons in humility, tolerance, and patience. Hero is onfe of the most beautiful, amazing films I've ever seen, but I also think it's an acquired taste - like escargot. I'd pitch this film as a sort of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets The Matrix, but that hardly does justice to the artistry of fifth generation filmmaker Zhang Yimou. Zhang has a painter's eye for color - which becomes a character unto i t s e l f a n d reveals the complexity of the story like a geisha disrobing: peeling off the delicate layers of silk until the bare soul of this film is exposed. Hero is set in China some 2,300 years ago, when the country was divided into a half dozen warring factions. Jet Li is the assassin, Nameless, who has succeeded in killing the Qin king's enemies. Most of the film involves telling the story of how Nameless ended up in a private audience with the king, which includes the best wired martial arts sequences ever captured on film. Fhoto Courtesy ofMiramax films Zhang is also generous in sharing his artistic sensibilities in choosing his settings, from the stark, moonscape that is China's interior, to a psychedelic deciduous forest, to a rain sequence like nothing you've ever experienced. My only real criticism is that the subtitles are a bit clunky I'm certain the beauty of the Chinese language has been sadly maimed by the translation into English subtitles - but the visual artistry of the film more than makes up for this lack. So I'd recommend Hero if you're the type of person who enjoys visual artistry in film, who isn't annoyed by having to read subtitles, and who embraces the chal- lenges posed by storytelling from a very different (read non-American) cultural perspective. Otherwise, just go see Collateral and leave this film to the escargot-eaters. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The Pride contacted President Haynes for an interview regarding the decision to cancel Michael Moore. Rick Moore, Director of Communications, contacted The Pride on President Haynes' behalf. Rick Moore explained that the University is not looking for any one person to balance out Michael Moore. In response to the question of why Michael Moore was deemed an appropriate speaker last October and now he is not, Rick Moore said, "Last year there wasn't an election and he (Michael Moore) had not politicized himself. Now we have the election coming up and there is no time to balance out the point of view. The election is the key difference here and Michael Moore's decision to politicize himself."

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. SmartPay™ state that the "service charge" is assessed to cover IDC's costs, but declined to say specifically what all the costs are. Many students on campus are unhappy with being charged this fee when paying for classes online. Senior Matt Taylor said, "I was frustrated with the additional fee when I found out that this cost saving feature for the university was at my expense." Taylor also said that he contacted Jonathan Poullard, dean of student affairs, asked the BOD to allocate $10,000 to bring film maker, Michael Moore, back to CSUSM. Poullard explained at the meeting that Michael Moore was a scheduled speaker in the Arts and Lectures Series last October; however, the event was cancelled due to the Cedars Fire. Now Moore is available to reschedule the event for October 13 or 14. After discussion from all ASI directors, the board voted to contribute $6,500 to fund Moore's speaker fee. Poullard said, "I am saddened and disappointed by the decision. I think our students are missing out on a phenomenal opportunity to engage in political discourse. The Intercultural Speaker Series is not about having us agree, it's about having the discourse and having controversy with civility." Merryl Goldberg, Professor of Visual and Performing Arts and Director of Arts & Lecture series said, "Personally I'm quite disappointed. I think it would have been a great opportunity for the students. On the other hand, I understand how it could be a challenge for the president and other top administrators. It is very tough. I wouldn't have wanted to be the president on this." Lura Poggi, Executive Director of ASI said, "I think, although Michael Moore has partisan beliefs, that ultimately what would have happened is he would have motivated our students to get involved in the electoral process by getting out to vote. I trust students to vote their conscious regardless of what belief structure is presented to them. And while I appreciate having a balance of perspectives, I trust our university community to engage in meaningful dialogue; that will not only provide a balancing perspective, but also encourage our community members to, individually, decide for themselves their core values and political beliefs." Francine Martinez, Vice President for Student Affairs explained that the decision was discussed Monday morning among the executive council, which includes all vice presidents, the Provost and Marti Gray, Executive Director of CSUSM Foundation. Martinez explained that the council was unable to provide a counterpart to Michael Moore and that if they could secure the right people to provide a balance they will pull something together for the spring. Marti Gray, Executive Director of CSUSM Foundation said, "I think everyone (in the executive council) was in total agreement that the campus had not been able to confirm any other speakers that could provide a balance." "I don't think it is right for the president to limit the students' access to the speakers we have," said Christopher Langfelder, freshman, biology major. Student Financial Services about the charge via the internet, but never got any response. According to Student Financial Services, the "service charge" did not begin until 2002 when the Campus Level Cabinet decided to contract Informed Decisions of Alameda California to install CASHNet SmartPay™ on the CSUSM website. Convenience and financial savings for the school were cited as primary reasons for contracting with IDC. Paul Tiglio, from the Department of Financial Services said that the money saved by the university because of IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ goes directly to campus life programs and campus security. Mr. Tiglio was apt to point out that the university allows students to pay in many ways, and that IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ is only one option. When asked about student complaints regarding IDC CASHNet SmartPay™, he admitted that there were complaints but declined to comment on specific cases. In addition to imposing a "service charge" IDC CASHNet SmartPay™ does not accept payments using a VISA card. Accepted methods of payment include Mastercard™, Discover™, American Express™ and E-check. Debit cards can only be used if they do not require a PIN.

Don't count your blessings quite yet gentlemen; this issue could also affect you.

The best way to get the most from your college experience is to get involved, and with more than 45 clubs and student organizations on campus, there is bound to be at least one tofityour goals and personality style. On September 7-9*, the Student Organization Expo featured several different clubs and student organizations in front of the Kellogg library, including the Human Development Club, Christ on Campus, and Priority Christian Challenge. The Human Development Club was formed to bring together people with a common interest in human services. Because the Human Development major was becoming so research-based, the club was formed to offer a place for people to express their interest in community-benefiting programs and a place to explore the different careers that a Human Development degree would offer. Members meet twice a month: once for a general meeting where they talk, discuss events, and vote on allocating funds, and a second time for the event of the month. The events consist of either a lecture series, guest speakers, or some form of volunteer work for the community. In the past, the Human Development Club has participated in events like the MS walk. "We're humanitarians," said a smiling Dayleen Coleman, president of the Human Development Club. Although the Human Development Club does not exclude anyone from being a member, they allow only a human development major or minor to run for office. Formerly known as Episcopal Campus Mission, Christ on Campus is a first-year revised club that is funded by the Episcopal Church of San Diego. The Christ on Campus Club aims to give students a place to meet new people, a place to belong, and, as their motto states, "a place to know Christ and make Him known." Founder and youth pastor at Grace Episcopal Church in San cation will no longer be able to do so at such a low cost. This problem is not just occurring at our campus. The cost of prescription drugs are increasing throughout the country, and without necessary action, they will continue to do so. Piling the rising costs of prescriptions on top of the skyrocketing costs of rent in San Diego and tuition in California could have extremely negative consequences on Cal State students. According to Dr. Karen Nicholson, the medical director of Cal State San Marcos, and Joe Jacob, CSUSM pharmacist explained that the California State University system has a contract with pharmaceutical companies to ensure that students receive certain patented oral contraceptives at an extremely low cost. Nearly all of the contraceptives included in the contract are no longer patented, which basically means that anyone can create generic drugs which are almost exactly the same as the name brands. Instead of reducing the cost of name brand drugs to compete with imitators, they are charging nearly the same amount as the generic drugs cost - which is also rising.. All Cal State students are required to pay a student health services fee as well as a student health facility fee. In March 2004, Student Health Services promoted and passed a referendum that allowed the health services fee to increase from $35 a semester to $50 and the health facility fee to go from $3 to $25. Many people have a tendency to make the incorrect assumption that these fees will help to prevent other cost increases, such as the rising cost of birth control. To the contrary, Nicholson said, "the health facility fee is only applied towards the cost to rent the facility, which is not owned by Cal State San Marcos, and the utility bills. The health services fee is applied towards funding staff salaries and the maintaining the operation of the services provided. Neither have anything to do with maintaining the low cost of prescription drugs." Jacob also explained that the State Procurement Officer has been attempting to negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies to fight the increasing costs. If he is successful, it may be possible for the pharmacy to offer other brands of oral contraceptives, either low cost generic brands or alternate brands of birth control that are still patented. While this issue will most likely be a long and complicated process, Jacob stated optimistically that, "At least the pharmaceutical companies are willing to listen to him." dubbin' A i Jk H uman D evelopment Club CHRIST ON CAMPUS PRIORITY Christian Challenge Paul G ibbons paulgibbons@gracesanmarcos.org Ruth B ran rbran22@juno.com Marcos, Paul Gibbons, feels that this club is important because people need to have somewhere to belong and to have fun. "As Christians, we are told to go out and make disciples," explained Gibbons. "College students need to have a place to belong and to find God." Plans are tentative because the club is new. There is no set meeting schedule, but they hope to meet one to two times a week. The meetings will be a time to talk, listen to music and practice Bible Study. Priority Christian Challenge is a Bible-based club that emphasizes developing a strong individual Christian faith in a social environment. Ruth Bran, outside advisor and co-founder, felt the club was necessary because it empowers stu- dents with knowledge and faith, and gives them a place to get to know fellow Christians. The members get together every Thursday evening at Arts 240. Meetings encourage people to come together, interact, form friendships, and pray. The agenda also includes participating in humanitarian events, such as Operation Christmas Child, where people donate toys and supplies to children in need all over the world. "We expose people to the needs in the world," explained Bran. The clubs featured in this article are only a few of the many clubs that are available on campus.

WANTED SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00-$17.00 per hour Call (760) 744-SWIM | �thepride SPORTS Tuesday, September 14 2004 Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSHUA SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer Think for just a moment about all the things that have changed in your life over the past five years. I mean most of you probably went to a different school, had a different job, or fashioned a different hair dofiveyears ago. Basically, not much stays consistent overfiveyears. However, one person who has been consistent over the past five years has been Tiger Woods. "El Tigre" was the number one golfer in the world for the pastfiveyears which is 264 consecutive weeks which is also 1848 days. However, everything in life eventually comes to an end and Tiger's streak is no exception. His rule as number one player in the world came to an end last week when Vijay Singh claimed the spot that Tiger had kept warm for so long. Growing up you work towards being the best at what you do no matter whatfieldyou are working in. Once you reach the pedestal of number one what else is there for you to accomplish? The only thing left for you to prove is that you have staying power and no one has had more staying power in sports than Tiger Woods. Tiger is the most recognizable person in sports. Even people who know absolutely nothing about sports know who Tiger is. Tiger is now among the few in our society who can be referred to just by one name like Madonna, Cher, and Prince. Golf is the hardest sport to dominate in, because it is an individual sport. In team sports like baseball and football you can rely on your teammates if you are having a bad day at the park. In golf, if you are having a bad day on the course you have no one to blame but yourself. Now I want you to think about all the bad days you have had in the pastfiveyears. If you are like most people, you don't always have a great day everyday of the week. So, when you look at the fact that Tiger has not had a bad day in five years it is just simply amazing. It is not like Tiger is past his prime so Tiger losing his number one ranking has many people questioning what led to this. Well there are several things that could have led to this, one thing being that he has had some nagging injuries over the past couple years especially to his knee which is one of the most important body parts to a golfer. Another thing that many people believe is that since Tiger fell in love with his fiance his golf game has gone down hill. Also, some think that his new golf equipment has just been inferior to that of what the other golfers are using. Who knows if it was any of those circumstances? However, the thing that makes Tiger that much better in my eyes is that he did not use one of those as an excuse. I tnean, how many of you have tried to pass the blame when you could not explain what went wrong in a certain situation? I for one fear for the golfing community because not having towards again. The last time Tiger in that number one spot Tiger had something to prove means he has something to work he ended up becoming the most Photo courtesy ofwww.goIfserv.com dominant athlete anyone has ever seen.

You got no classes BY KARLENE WIEGAND Pride Staff Writer Students frustrated by our school's registration system is not a new phenomenon. As the new semester starts many students will cry "the registration woes," especially new students who are unfamiliar with our registration process. The unique part about our registration system here at Cal State San Marcos is the fact that we don't accept Visa, a commonly used credit card used by CSUSM students. The reasons we don't accept Visa has something to do with a nation wide lawsuit, due to high merchant fees of up to $600,000 charged to Colorado State University for example. Merchant fees are what credit card companies charge the user, like Ralphs grocery store, or, in the case of Cal State San Marcos, to use their credit cards like Visa. The entire state university system in California and other nation wide state schools including Indiana, Colorado and Texas are facing these same fees. Many state schools aré now opting to charge students a convenience fee for using credit cards to pay for tuition rather than paying the high merchant fees. The CashNet SmartPay system is a popular convenience charge system, currently used at our school and various schools throughout California, Indiana, Colorado and Texas. I guess there is no way to change the system because either way we, the students of CSUSM will be paying these merchant fees. However, it is of concern to me why the cashiers' office won't tell us why our Visa credit cards are being turned away or why we have to pay a convenience fee. Last Spring was my first semester at Cal State San Marcos. I had been using my Visa credit card at Mira Costa College for the previous three years. I would pay for my books and my classes and then send my grandmother the bill in Las Vegas where she lives. The first time I registered here was a nightmare. I had no clue student loans instead, which have why my Visa was being shunned a much lower interest rate and away and no one could tell me would ensure a happier financial why. The cashiers' office was existence for us in the future. rude and my fellow students Ifinallyhad to borrow my boycouldn't answer my questions.

"Why?" to deter us students from using credit cards and start taking put EMMA By Sarah Carlin How to get YOUR class started BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer So, the first two weeks of school are finally over, yes! Congratulations to all of you who have survived. I know it has been a fun ride just trying to crash classes and having to switch back to school mode. Just imagine, 14 more weeks until it is time for Winter Break. Exciting, isn't it? This is also the time when we realize that there are a lot of classes that are not being offered due to budget cuts or are not even offered because no one has ever expressed a need for it. I am pretty sure that there are a lot of great classes that some of you would like to have offered here or classes that you do need. Here are a couple of tips that can help you get started. First thing, you need to do is research about this class, what does it entail and who will benefit from this course? Then, scout for other students and even faculty members who view the course as beneficial and are willing to support your efforts in starting this class. This way you will have the power of numbers. Make sure you do have a faculty member who is supporting you in order to have stronger ties to administration. Once you have a core group of people involved, you can create a petition stating the need for this class and be sure to provide why this class is important. You can circulate this around campus to gain support from the rest of our school population. Be sure to have a possible teacher in mind for the class, you will of course need a teacher. Also, you can hold meetings with faculty and administration in order to express the dire need of this class for the benefit of Cal State San Marcos. Mind you that this will be a long process. You may not see the class being offered during your academic career but at least you have gotten a movement started so that other students can benefit from this. Regardless of the time factor, you will be doing something great for the campus. I am writing this article based on the experience of the Asian Pacific American Association, formerly known as the Asian Pacific American Society. The Association has been struggling with the lack of Asian American Studies classes on campus. According to Fall 2003's enrollment, there were a total of 732 Asian American/Pacific Islander students on campus, 9.4%. The third largest student population and yet few classes are offered pertaining to Asian Studies and no classes in Asian American Studies. There are, however, several history classes with subject matters of China, Japan, women in the Middle East, and Eastern thought, but what about the experience of the Asian American. I offer these steps in case any other student feels the need to start some classes on campus as well. There are other students who will support you. The campus is still new, take advantage of your ability to make a difference. A + S UBS P reschool s ubstitutes, a ids, a nd t eachers.

A stronger America is needed during these times when Americans seem to be divided by the platform President Bush has been pushing. I am a Democrat because I believe in equality for all Americans and the preservation of our natural environment. I also believe in fiscal responsibility, smaller government, and a stronger military. I am afirmbeliever in respect, understanding and tolerance, and Kerry is the only contender that strongly believes in equality for all Americans. Kerry has adamantly stated that he does not believe that a constitutional amendment is necessary in order to 'preserve' the 'institution of marriage.' Kerry believes the idea of marriage for gays and lesbians should be left up to the states. The Constitution has never once been amended to strip a minority group in America of their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Kerry also strongly believes that there is more work to be done to help the advancement of minorities in our communities so that they to can attain a higher education, and advance further in the work place. 9/13-17 rr?'^ Identifying myself as a RepubIfSflif ? • • • lican, especially here at CSUSM, means that people will make ¡ ¡¡(¡8 i s ^ f ^ M judgments about me without IH bothering to get to know me; I'll just be stereotyped as another SUV-driving, Apprentice-vfdXching, intolerant, martini-drinking, Louis Vuitton-carrying rich bitch who'd rather wipe out the least tern than be forced to carpool.

Another point that Kerry believes in is a stronger military by not only equipping our soldiers with more modern weapons, but also equipping the branches of the military with more troops. Many countries, as well as the United Spates, are fighting a global war on terrorism. We need to take into consideration that many of our troops are fighting abroad to defend democracy and protect the U.S. from acts of terrorism on our home soil. To help ensure that our troops are given the time off they deserve to be with their loved ones, there needs to be enough troops to maintain an adequate military force for pur homeland security needs as well as continuing to meet our strategic and regional missions.

Many may know him as Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian from the NBC series "Scrubs," but nowadays Zach Braff has a lot more on his plate than acting. Braff s film "Garden State," which he credited as writer, director and starring in, has gained support since it's initial release in June. Picked up by Miramax and Fox Searchlight Pictures, the film is now on a wide-scale release. Thefilmbegins in Los Angeles where Andrew Largeman (Braff) is living as a struggling actor.

The Associate Students, Inc. (ASI) are offering new and exciting activities for students, staff and faculty this semester at the Field House. There are a lot of opportunities for students, staff and faculty to get involved this semester with the increasing number of campus recreation activities, leisure and group fitness classes, intramural sports, and competitive sports that are being offered.

In addition, this game has added 7 online playing modes to enhance competition in the racing and crash modes. A major plus for this game is that the cars are easy to control and the more crashes that the player causes in the game, more race tracks will be unlocked. The tracks get progressively more difficult, but not frustratingly difficult. I find it rather exciting to play the same race track multiple times until I have caused the maximum amount of damage.

The debate took place in Founders Plaza from 10a.m. to lp.m. Topics explored at the debate included the war in Iraq and the war on terrorism as well as various other current political and social issues. PAN was represented by Lanysha Adams and Cheyenne Barr. Ashley Stuart and Nick Bonomi represented the positions of the College Republicans. The debate drew a crowd pf some 45-50 students. The debate became heated at times as both sides sought to explain their respective positions on each issue. Some issues were discussed as partisan positions rather than responses to specific questions. At times both groups agreed in part on some of the topics. "I - really think we need a regime change," said Barr, PAN vice president of external affairs, on the issue of who should be the next president, "and that we need Kerry to be our president to keep year's deficit of $2.5 million. Allison said that as a result of the nearly $1 million in funds being returned to Cal State San Marcos there will be an additional 159 full-time students allowed to enroll this fall. 15 class sections are also being added to the fall class schedule. Enrollment in the additional courses is open until Wednesday, September 22. There is no petition required to add these sections and no late fees will be assessed. This year CSUSM prepared Students and faculty responded last week to President Karen S. Haynes and the Executive Council's decision to remove school funding directed towards financing the scheduled appearance of controversial filmmaker Michael Moore. President Haynes released a statement on Wednesday Sep^HHH tember 13 citing * Michael Moore several reasons for the cancellation. In the statement Haynes said, "The proposed date, only a few weeks away, does not allow time to identify and secure a speaker of comparable significance who can provide a balancing perspective during this election year." "Universities are about the exchange of ideas. Some ideas are uncomfortable, but being exposed to them is how we become confident or our own beliefs and values. That said, however, it is important that discussions be balanced," said Haynes. "The University recognizes the need to present diverse points of view. Therefore we will delay Mr. Moore's appearance until later in the academic year, and after the election, pending agreement between his schedule and ours, and until we can consider how to provide a balancing perspective." In response to the cancellation 64 members of the faculty signed an open letter directed to the President and the executive council. The letter dated September 15 expressed "strong opposition to the Executive Council's decision to postpone Michael Moore's scheduled speaking engagement..." "We feel that this decision repeats a disturbing pattern of See BUDGET, page 2 See MOORE, page 3 Photos by Peter S chwartz / The Pride Above: Ashley Stuart and Nicholas Bonomi of the College Republicans present their argument last Tuesday.

See DEBATE, page 2 CSUSM receives neerly $1 million in budget money BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Cal State San Marcos is in the midst of a budget deficit for the third consecutive year as a result of state education budget cuts. " (B^get year) 2004-05 was probably the worst of the three years. This was the first time that the campus had been told to reduce its target enrollment," Terry Allison, Interim Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Finance and Administrative Services, said. As a result of these cuts in enrollment 200 fewer students were allowed to enroll at Cal State San Marcos this fall semester than the previous year. In the CSU system, monies are allocated according to full time student enrollment. This year enrollment was cut by 23,000 students statewide in order accommodate the decrease in state education funding. This continues the trend of reduction in enrollment in the CSU system. Last year, 250 fewer students were admitted at CSUSM than the previous year due to cuts in the state university system budget. CSUSM's budget was originally cut by $3.8 million this year. However on the day that the CSU system budget was signed $40.5 million was reallocated back to the entire CSU system. Cal State San Marcos received nearly $1 million - $995,914 to be exact - of the $40.5 million in returned student revenues; however, it was not enough to truncate the university's remaining $2,430,781 net deficit for this fiscal year. Had the University not received this additional funding, this year's budget deficit would have exceeded last �Editorial Staff Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin Michael Dolan Layout Design & Photo Editor Jason Encabo A & E Editor Chrissy Baldwin Features Editor Eric Mercado News Editor Chezare Milo Business Manager Nicole Pilcher Adviser Jenifer Woodring Staff Writers Erika Bales Sarah Coleson Jared Devore Amira El-Khaouli Patricia Guevarra Heather Hoffman Ryan James Amanda Johnson Christopher King William Lemon Phoenix Lindgren Tiffany Lin Daniel Lowe Maribei Mayo Jamarr Patrick Scott Phillips Katie Powers Lindsay Riedel Joshua Sandoval Kim Schlatter Peter Schwartz Liza Valdez Karlene Wiegand All opinions and letters to the editor, published in The Pride, represent the opinions of the author, and do not nec essarily represent the views of The Pride, or of California State University San Marcos* Unsigned editorials represent the majority opinion of The Pride editorial board, Photos by Peter Schwartz / The Pride DEBATE, from page 1 America safe and free."

"We are obviously support- ing George W. Bush and I find it to be unfortunate that Kerry doesn't stand for anything at all," said Stuart, chair of the College Republicans.

"We have a very general view of what a terrorist is and I fail to understand why we are fighting a war on a tactic." "I think that having an invisible wall torn down (between government intelligence departments) is a good thing because then we have checks and balances," said Barr. "But when you can define a terrorist by anything that John Ashcroft says, well that's a big problem. When that can't be disputed or vetoed in any way from congress or any group of people well then he has complete authority to throw someone into jail," added Barr. Bonomi agreed that removing barriers between intelligence departments was a good thing. "The benefit... it's a big one," said Bonomi. Bonomi defended U.S. intelligence agencies' right to conduct "sneak and peek operations." Bonomi also stated that the Patriot Act was passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. The next debate to be held between the College Republicans and PAN is scheduled for October 26 from 11:30 a.m. to 1p.m. on the steps of Founders Plaza. The Republicans have scheduled Larry Greenfield, the Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition of Southern California, to debate on their behalf. PAN has yet to announce a speaker on their behalf.

"I agree that we need to have more security. The problem I see is that most of the money is going overseas, it's going into Iraq. Most of the money isn't staying here," said Barr on the topic of homeland security. "The war on terrorism will never be over until all the terrorists have been removed," said Stuart. " I view the war on terror as a war on crime, it's a long war, it will never be completely over but we can fight it and we can be effective," said Nick Bonomi. "It's (the war on terrorism) a deterrent. It's effective and when people are put in check when they are doing something wrong they will eventually do what is right." Lanysha Adams, film series coordinator for PAN, responded to Bonomi's perception of the war on terror with a different interpretation. "The war on terror is not something material. The war on terror is a war on a philosophical and political idea," said Adams.

The letter also called the "very logic of requiring balanced perspectives flawed." "Were we to follow it to its conclusion, we might decide to invite a speaker to defend the violence of racist mobs, since there is currently a very public exhibit in our new library that is unabashedly critical of lynching" The letter concluded that, "balance should come not from mechanical juxtaposition of speakers with opposing opinions. It should come from our community as we weigh issues, evidence and opinions. What could more effectively stimulate this healthy process than an energetic and reasoned political speech just the time when such arguments matter most?" "We urge you (President Haynes) and the Executive Council to reverse your decision and allow our community the opportunity to engage critically with this timely speaker and his challenging ideas." Many faculty members also sent individual letters of protest to President Haynes. "The arguments (implied and explicit) that the University is a neutral marketplace of ideas and that balance in exchange can only be achieved by having another equally famous speaker (film maker?) on the stage with Moore are unpersuasive," said professor Dreama Moon. "Under the com- èli mittee's logic, this campus may not have any public presentation of any type that puts forth a particular viewpoint without having a counter viewpoint expressed. If we pursue this rationale to its (il)logical conclusions, it appears ludicrous as well as unwieldy. So the lynching exhibit requires a complimentary KKK exhibit, Women's Herstory month activities require complimentary activities presenting patriarchal viewpoints of women, the Republican club may never have a speaker on campus without an accompanying Democrat (Green, Independent, ???), environmental educational seminars require a complimentary argument for the dumping of hazardous waste, etc.? I find this logic difficult to support." Students organized a campaign to submit letters to President Haynes voicing opposition to the cancellation. This week in Founders Plaza students can sign and submit form letters voicing their disapproval. The table will be open from 10a.m to 2p.m. Organizers of the letter writing campaign are urging all those who support Michael Moore's appearance to wear baseball caps this Thursday September 23. There is an organized protest to be held this upcoming Thursday September 23 from 11a.m. to lp.m. in the free speech area in between University Hall and the Kellogg Library. The protest is organized by concerned students, WSSA and PAN. All students and faculty are invited to attend • ! wm •* • regardless of political affiliation. Student Heather Frost Vance, one of the organizers of the protest this upcoming Thursday, called the cancellation of Moore, "detrimental to our development as responsible members of society, "and said that," the way it was handled makes me feel that the administration lacks true commitment to our educational freedom." Vance said that the cancellation sent the message that "they (CSUSM administration) aren't confident in our abilities as critical thinkers and the education provided us." There were also those who expressed support for President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision. "We support President Haynes and the Executive Council's decision, they did the right thing. Student funds should not be spent on a partisan speaker. It needs to be a speaker that's objective," said Nicholas Bonomi, executive director of the CSUSM College Republicans. "We should bring in someone that would speak for free. If they speak for free it means they care. If you need to pay them, the speaker obviously doesn't care about the audience." In a letter dated September 16, President Haynes responded to criticism of the cancellation. "I want to say to you "up front" that in retrospect, I know I could have handled this matter better. Since my arrival in February, I have tried to model a new kind of campus discussion built on openness and consultation.

Laura Poggi of ASI said, "I think this is an incredible indicator of public support for the students of CSUSM and it says a lot about ASI that they were able to come through and resolve an unfortunate situation that wasn't in the best interests of students." Is Law School Your Next Step? $44 $75 $55 did not happen in this case — at least to the degree I would like — and I regret that." Haynes also responded by saying, "many members of the campus community felt surprised arid disappointed by what happened, and I want to offer my apology for those feelings." Haynes continued to defend her and the council's decision by stating, "The university is prohibited from using state funds for partisan political activity. We are in the midst of a hard-fought presidential election. Were we to host Mr. Moore a month from now using state funds, without balancing his appearance with an alternate perspective, we would be in violation of the law.

When asked about the award Sepinwall commented on how touched she was that the students nominated her and the committee decided that she had earned the award. She was quick to give credit to others. "There are so many wonderful teachers on campus. I'm just the one chosen this year. I am very humbled to be recognized in this way," said Sepinwall. She credited her colleagues with giving her many of her teaching ideas. "She offers fresh and originative approaches to teaching her classes," said Acevedo.

One new face in the crowd has a vision to bring the athletic department to something students and faculty can be proud of. His name is Dr. Stephen Nichols and he is our new interim director of athletics for at least the next two years. Dr. Nichols graduated with a bachelor's degree from CSU Long Beach, and earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees from Ohio State. Q: What is your background in the field of sports? A: When I attended Western High School in Orange County, I was involved with the swim team and the water polo team. After high school, I played water polo for Cypress Community College, but not for long. Currently, I participate in triathlons (swimming, biking & running) and just ran a half Iron Man in Oceanside last March. Q: What brought you to CSU San Marcos? A: After entertaining offers from other schools, like University of Washington, I visited CSU San Marcos with no prior knowledge of this school. After interviewing for the position, I felt that this was a school where I could be happy and give the athletic department all the help I can. It is also exciting to come back to southern California. Q: What are your immediate priorities for the athletics department? .; A: I think it's time for our athletics to grow. Currently, CSU San Marcos is in the NAIA and our goal as a department is to get into the NCAA, Division 2. To accomplish this we need to get two more team sports and it looks like a soccer team is next in line. Volleyball is another sport that we would like to see added to our athletic department. We're looking to add onsite sporting events so the student body can get into the school's athletic teams Most people don't realize that CSU San Marcos has already produced a national champion in track and field and the golf teams have a high ranking within the NAIA. Q: What is your direct role with the CSU San Marcos athletes? ,. . . .. . A: My role is to make sure that each sports program is running smooth. Part of my job is to evaluate our athletes both academically and behaviorally. I also speak at award ceremonies or help out directly, like next month when I pick up our golf team at the airport. My goal is to handle any problem that might arise, in a punctual and professional manner. Q: How can CSU students learn more about our athletic department? A: There is always information available at the Clark Field House, and the school holds tryouts. The best way to get information on a particular sport is to contact the coach. Because we are trying to be as competitive as we can in athletics, we have a very active recruiting process that looks for exceptional athletes with good academic standing. It is exciting that the athletic department is taking steps to give our school first-rate sports teams. Students will be able to rally around teams, which in turn would bring the student body closer. It appears the outcome of Dr. Nicholas hiring will be a new sense of school pride for CSUSM athletics. QL �Surf t eam p repares for u pcoming s eason BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer On September 25 at Crosswaithe St. in Oceanside, Associated Student, Inc. (ASI) Surf Tryouts will be searching for dedicated and talented potential surf team members. Tryouts will begin at 8:00 a.m. with each participant receiving three chances to showcase their talent for coaches. Participants will surf in three heats with six competitors in each heat. The divisions you can try out for include men's short board, women's short board, co-ed long board and co-ed body board. Each division will compete according to the style of board they Surf to keep things fair. Team manager Ryan James and Coach Amber Puha encourage all CSUSM students to come out and participate. Last year, the ASI Surf Team placed 4 th overall, a strong showing at the very competitive NSSA Nationals contest. The team returns this year looking for new talent to pave the way in the 2004 season. Strong performers in last year's competitions were John Graves, Eric Warner and Ryan James. The ASI Surf Team is lead by coach Dr. Amber Puha, and team manager Ryan James. "Coach Amber Puha is the key reason we have a surf team at CSUSM," said James. "She is very knowledgeable about the sport of surfing." The ASI Surf Team competes at some of the best surf spots in Jock Talk With Josh BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer What do you dream about? If you were given one wish, what would it be? What's your fantasy? Well, the fantasy of any sports fan since the beginning of time has been to run a professional sports team. That is the reason why fantasy sports have become such a huge success. If you are a sports fanatic, or know a sports fanatic, chances are you know about fantasy sports. For those that don't know what the heck I am talking about I will give you a quick run down on the basics for fantasy football. You join a league with a bunch of your friends where each person receives their own team. Before the football season starts you draft some players compiling a team of a quarterback, kicker, running backs, wide receivers, and a team defense. Each week in the NFL season you match your team against someone else in the to leagues like that can cost thousands of dollars with obviously high rewards. Fantasy sports are a blast to play with a bunch of your friends and I have been doing so since 1999 with a group of some of my best friends. However, fantasy games haven't brought all positives to the sports world. This fantasy sports craze has made it so that people forget who their favorite sports team is. Sometimes you will find yourself rooting your team on but you look across the field and see the opposing team which so happens to have your fantasy teams star player which puts you in a predicament. Do you root for your favorite football team or do you root for your fantasy team? Well sadly many people are choosing the later. Sports fans are slowly turning into fantasy sports fans which is a sad site for any true sports lover. win Fantasy games are fun to play small if you don't get carried away. prizes such With no end in sight I hope that as shirts or ban- those of you who do play keep in ners.

ESPN.com provides fantasy games as well that can cost around $30 per team, but you are eligible to league to see whose team can compile the most points.

This voice is the foundation of democracy. Our Po,, freedom of speech y Charoenkwanchai is what makes us a nation different from those that have attacked us. Our country is based on taking sides: Republican, Democrat, Independent, Green Party etc. Choices are a part of being American. It is our right and our duty to question how capable the leaders of this country are, because if it is anything but an optimistic illusion, these leaders serve us: The People. As a Democrat, I have come to realize that there is no truth when it comes to politics. The belief that a president is guiding us with the best interest of his constituents rather than that of greedy power-hungry corporations is a leap of blind faith. With a world that is at times scary to live in, we have come closer and closer to falling without a net. So that begs the question* who should we trust? Who is right? Is there a right? I'm not proposing that the truth lies within the words of Michael Moore. It is not his reputation for controversy that earned my support. It is his unrelenting passion to speak his mind, despite the opinion of the general public. I realize that not everyone wants to hear Moore ranting but there is a remedy: the OFF button. This would have worked in a situation where he could have appeared as a speaker. My advice: Just don't buy tickets. People who are put off by Moore argue that he is unpatriotic. A patriot is someone who loves, supports and defends their country. Patriotism is not always relative to the context of War. Defending my country is an act that entails more than just the ability to bear arms. I strongly support our troops despite the fact that I am opposed to the mirage we call a cause. Moore's suspicions about the true nature of this war are not based on hearsay. There is documented proof in his books and films. He includes news articles that hint to a deeper, more corrupt reason to why we invaded and conquered Iraq. These doubts, mirrored by my own, make it hard for me to believe that this war was fought for the cause of the American people. I love America, but it's the system that bother me. I can not understand how we can attempt to silence someone who believes that teachers deserve more respect and more pay than what they feebly call their salary. This university is mainly Michael Moore isn't coming and I'm mad as hell. The primary excuse given by administration spokesperson Rick Moore in the September 14 issue of The Pride was the impossibility of Phoenix Lindgren scheduling enough additional speakers to balance out Moore's viewpoint. What I don't understand is why a filmmaker/ author, appearing offcampus, necessitates a balanced discussion? I like Michael Moore, which is not to say that I agree with him. (I mean, c'mon, does he really want me to believe Bush was in cahoots with Osama and the Bin Laden family to cook up 9/11 to make himself look good and make all his friends rich? Photo courtesy of MGM Home Entertainment I'm not buying it.) But I still composed of students who hope respect him as to become future teachers. How a person with can an institution of education an opinion, not rely on its students to have and I'm always the mental capacity to decide interested in what is fair and balanced? Moore how others was cancelled because he was view the world. too "politicized." It would not But by r efusbe impartial to have him without ing to bring having someone represent the in Michael polar opposite. Moore is not a Moore, alone politician. His issues are not an and uncenattack against one party over sored, the another. His manifesto is from an administration everyday man against the crooked has elevated bureaucracy. an opinionated Photo courtesy of Michael Moore is a different www.csusm.edu/president filmmaker to kind of American; the type who refuses to be complacent. If we were to a position of influential, partisan politico, silence this man on that reason alone, it imparting on Moore's opinions much greater weight and stature than they would be unpatriotic of us. either deserve, or would have had, had the engagement gone forward as planned. Rick Moore also mentioned Michael Moore's "decision to politicize himself" as a reason for not bringing him in, which begs the question: When was Moore not politicized? Both "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country?" were released in paperback shortly before last year's scheduled appearance; Moore's publisher, Warner Books, states that in "Dude, Where's My Country?," "Michael Moore is on a mission in his new book: Regime Change," and in "Stupid White Men" Moore calls for the UN to, "overthrow the Bush Family Junta." So last year it was okay for Moore to appear alone, and this year it's not? Another excuse given is that this is an election year and last year wasn't (it actually was, but the recall was over by Moore's scheduled appearance date). Let's be honest here: most people will already have their minds made up before they go see Moore anyway. I would also wager that the students of CSUSM — along with the rest of the potential attendees of Moore's appearance - will take more than one person's opinion into account before deciding how to vote, no matter how close to the election they hear it. So bring on Moore. We no more need to hear a balanced viewpoint when he speaks in person than we need when we see him on film, which is a good thing, considering that the CSUSM Center ARTES has scheduled a free, on-campus showing of Fahrenheit 9/11 on October 5 (as part of the Arts & Lectures Series). Yank the speaker, but not his film? Gee whiz, that kind of makes me think all those excuses were just a load of crap. Maybe Rick Moore's claim during an interview on the Stacy Taylor show (aml360) is true: Michael Moore was cancelled for fear that his appearance would offend CSUSM's big donors. Bring in Michael Moore and lose money? Now there's an excuse any good Republican can appreciate. �Tuesday, September 21 2004 I salute the Presidents' efforts to stop Michael Moore. However, the problem is not solved. ASI is supposed to be non-partisan. They openly attack the governor, the president, and now they Dear President Haynes, I have always thought of you as a great leader in our school. You have participated in events with students, created a nice and happy environment; you even got us all some lunch last week. But your administration's decision to cancel Michael Moore shows deep disregard for the students of CSU San Marcos. First of all, Mr. Moore was scheduled to speak approximately a year ago with out question. As you know he was postponed because of the fires. He has since, as far as i know, decided to reschedule for this October. So your administration then decides to cancel his appearance? This should not even be a question! Vyl llìlVylì THE PRIDE representative from ASI, they are participating in illegal activity. This needs to stop now. ASI should not be involved in politics period. If another student org was raising the funds it would be fine. But to have our supposed to be non-partisan ASI hold such a money raising effort is illegal. PS My college republican group is bringing in a speaker on October 26th for a small event. And he is doing it for free. Speakers that really care about their message do it for free. But Michael needs to laugh all the way to the bank. Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director CSUSM College Republicans this university on the map. This will set a platform for all kinds of speakers both liberal and conservative. Let me tell you, you will I had already heard talk never find some one to balance Michael Moore, at about the governator least within our budget. But coming.

This action that your administration has made would not happen at SDSU, UCSD, or many other major collages or universities. Please I urge you to reconsider this choice. As I write this letter, there are hundreds, yes HUNDREDS of students mobilizing against this action because they wanted to see Michael Moore. Don't be the president that will be remembered for suppressing speakers because of political views. Concerned Undergraduate Student, Felipe Robinson-Zanartu I hope all of us would not want to continue negotiating with a car dealer that had a teenager's offer fall through, which was contingent on his /her parents cosigning for a loan, if that car dealer responded by threatening to sue everybody. Real estate offers are usually contingent on several factors, including inspections, securing loans, selling of other real estate, et cetera. I suspect that in politics and the entertainment industry, they are no different in their offer and contract practices. I think we should no longer even pretend to be associated with a Michael Moore appearance in North County due to his reaction. The headline in this week's, The Pride, now looks deceptive. If there was no contract, what was cancelled? Editorial responsibility? A much more truthful headline would have been "Not with state funds". ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines. Given the budget problems that this campus is facing, we all can think of better uses of state and student funds under the current circumstances. Thanks for your time, Bob Dickey Chemistry Senior are committing to raise funds for a very polarizing speaker. ASI officers are paid salary with student funds. Any time they are working to get Michael Moore to campus and they are acting as a Presidents, Ladies and California taxpayer (mostly Gentlemen, sales tax), still support his I did see Michael Moore's right to free speech, but no latest film, Fahrenheit 911. longer support my fees or I believe that there were taxes going to his speaking several questions raised expenses. that current Federal Office I would, however, support Holders should answer the ASI and / or the with complete honesty. It University offering to pay would be interesting to see Open University fees for Michael Moore speak. Michael Moore to attend However, given that a class where he can learn Michael Moore's reaction, the differences between to a contingent offer falling a contingent offer and a through, is threatening legal contract. Universities, after action, I, as a fee paying all, are primarily about student at CSUSM and a learning. �Dear Editor, I am writing to protest President Haynes' and the Executive Council's decision to veto Michael Moore's appearance at our campus for a screening of his powerful, provocative film, "F. 911." This undemocratic violation of academic freedom saddens and angers me. Since when must a public university maintain a total "fair and balanced" policy (a la Fox News' hypocritical slogan)? The vast majority of mass media and private institutions are strongly Dear Madam President; My name is Christopher Mitchell, I am a History Major and a Senior at Cal State University San Marcos. I wanted to offer you my support in canceling the intended visit of Michael Moore. I agree with your assessment of the situation and, as a student here at CSUSM, I support you in this matter, however, unpopular it may have been to make. Mr. Moore's political beliefs are not in question in this matter. Executive Council, order CoBA to invite an equal number of communist and biases towards conservative union spokespersons? Will President Haynes politics. Quality order the Library and Arts educational institutions and Lectures to balance should provide an open fairly their new exhibit forum for controversial and lecture on lynching in people and subjects—both America to invite the Ku left and right, but not Klux Klan to give their 100% balanced, which is side of the controversy— impossible. both an exhibit and a guest Almost all of the CSU speaker?

All of the CoBA temporary b an-just until "Inside the Executive the election is over—of Chair" and other CoBA guest speakers are wealthy any military recruiters and veteran events on business owners or executives. In the name of campus (because this is controversial and pro-war); fairness and balance, will or will she invite pacifists President Haynes and the and anti-war activists to participate equally with them? If we get a noted evolutionary scientist to speak on campus, will the Executive Council insist on balancing him/her with a creation scientist in the name of fairness? Lastly, Rick Moore's defensive comment that Michael Moore has politicized himself this year is absurd. Moore has been a political activist for many years. How can anyone believe that Moore's Oscar acceptance speech was not political and controversial? Having someone of the caliber of Michael Moore after the election is closing the barn door after the horse has fled. CSUSM has become Animal Farm University. I hope that Associated Students, CFA, and the Academic Senate defend academic freedom and democracy on our campus. STEVE WIENER Staff and former CSEA Chapter President for his film's authenticity. Just because the facts Mr. Moore artfully arranges in his films fit a certain thesis, does not necessarily mean that the thesis is true. For example, I have two dogs at my home. I make dinner in the evenings for my family. After dinner, I feed the table scraps to my dogs. Now, just because my dogs think that I make dinner for them every night does not make it so. So is the way of Mr. Moore's films. An artful arrangement of inconclusive facts that promote an unworkable thesis. Mr. Moore traded in honest political discourse for political propaganda. In all fairness, this happens more than I care to admit in politics today - on the left and on the right. Though I don't agree with Mr. Moore, or his one-sided propagandist views, having him appear on a public college campus, without a discerning counter-balance to his propaganda, is inappropriate a few weeks before a national election and not a good use of public funds. I applaud your decision and your reasoning behind it. Once the election is over, I don't see any reason why Mr. Moore can not visit the campus in a panel format with the appropriate panelists that could bring some sense to his implausible and propagandist view point. Thank you for your time in this matter. It is always hard to make an unpopular decision, even when it is the right one to make. Sincerely, Christopher Mitchell Senior, History Major His self-described "one sided" view of unrelated facts to fit implausible theories in his films makes him controversial to the point of being a political propagandist. Mr. Moore makes no apologies for his cleverly crafted use of film to promote his view of the world. I don't fault him for his views but I do fault him for his over-use of the "documentary" format which leaves the viewing public with more than a deserving appreciation �eed COJCKXt ^ ^ m ® I l i f e r n et.

"Lynching in America" awards a voice to an ugly time in America's history that is rarely discussed and often hushed. Billingslea has applied the usage of mixed media to help break a "Code of Silence" that has existed to protect the perpetrators of racial violence and silence the victims. Billingslea uses common objects filled with thoughtful symbolism to help people connect with victims who lost their lives to prejudicial injustice. She transforms written history into visual and tactile artistry that can be experienced and absorbed. The installation displays many dirty white dress shirts of men, women, and children. Billing- slea said that "by distressing white shirts, and hanging handsewn nametags from the sleeve, I honor each life." Because there are many unknown victims, Billingslea has placed a few shirts without tags, folded neatly on shelves to represent and honor their lives as well. Billingslea portrays the social aspects of lynching with a handsewn quilt made of recycled fabrics and authentic pictures to create a powerful message about the spectators. Billing- slea said that, "(At a lynching) people packed food and spread out blankets, as if attending a baseball game. Thousands of people watched, children were excused from school to attend with their parents and folks traveled hundreds of miles just to see a person be burned or hung." The pictures are a haunting reminder of America's brutal past and it really brings home the fact that people took pleasure from these horrific events. There are mason jars on shelves, which Billingslea says are "vestiges of violence" that represent things people might have taken away from a lynching for souvenirs, such as locks of hair, remnants of clothing, or ashes from victims who were burned. This installation is a moving tribute to the thousands of men, women and children that were lynched in our country and it serves as a lesson in humanity. 9 /24 Arts & Lectures Presents Noontime Oboe/Piano Concert Noon Arts 111 (Free event and open to the public...guests are encouraged to arrive early) Cougar Dancers Info Meeting 1 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Field House Grand Salon You must have previous dance experience.

The Faint: Wet From Birth BY WILL LEMON P ride S taff W riter Dianne (Lucy Davis), Liz (Kate Ashfield), David (Dylan Moran), Shaun (Simon P hoto c ourtesy w ww.uhm.com Pegg), Mom (Nicola Cunningham) and Ed (Nick Frost) pretend to be zombies. BY CHRISSY BALDWIN P ride S taff W riter Shaun (Simon Pegg, who also co-wrote the film with director Edgar Wright) isn't having a very good week. His co-workers have no respect for him and his girlfriend Liz has had enough of his laziness and inconsideration. She cannot stand to spend another evening with him in the local pub, the Winchester. Shaun isn't such a bad guy, but he has no ambition and seems to prefer the company of his unemployed, flatulent, video-game obsessed slob of aflatmate Ed (Nick Frost) to anyone else. As an added bonus, the dead have risen and are walking the earth in search of human flesh to feast upon. Shaun doesn't notice this fact as quick as he should (despite the fact that the TV and radio are broadcasting unexplained phenomenon), but Shaun is somewhat of a zombie himself, lost in his own world and distracted by his own thoughts as he walks past rotting cadavers that now fill the streets of London. The beginning of the movie takes on a satirical view of the commercialized world and how people walk about in a trance-like gaze oblivious to the happenings that surround them. When Shaun and Ed finally do realize what is happening, they form a half-wit plan to save Shaun's mum, rescue Liz and go to the pub where they can wait out the zombie infestation with a pint and a smoke. It may not be the best plan, but at least Shaun tried to do something constructive with his life. This movie covers a broad range of emotions from side- splitting laughter to heartfelt sincerity with zombies thrown into the mix. Normally, zombie horror movies end horribly, without giving too much away that is not the case with this movie. It may have to compete with the ultra-scary remake of George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" (on DVD in late October), but "Shaun" is able to stand on its own two feet. It should not be confused with horror spoof films, such as the "Scary Movie" trilogy, this movie is actually scary with parts that make you jump and gore that makes you cover your eyes. "Shaun of the Dead" opens in theaters Friday September, 24. If you are looking for a good time, check your local listings and be ready to have your socks knocked off. Omaha is the most unlikely city where you would expect to find a band making electronic music. But the Nebraska natives, who comprise The Faint, were able to create a dance album that sounds good even without ecstasy. For anyone acquainted with The Faint, Wet From Birth had big shoes to fill. With the success of their 2001 release Danse Macabre, The Faint have gained national and international respect as one of America's best electronic bands. Their album Danse Macabre went on to be one of their label's best-selling albums, and with their constant touring they are considered to be one of the best live acts. They have even worked with DJs such as Paul O akenfold to create a remix album entitled Danse Macabre Remixes. When going to record their new album they took their time. It took about a year for The Faint to write and record their new album. The time and care spent on this record shows. The production is phenomenal, much like Danse Macabre, and the songs are filled with 80's pop sensibilities and lots of synthesizers. But unlike Danse Macabre, The Faint sometimes stray away from this formula. On songs like "Birth" and "Dropkick the Punks," The Faint shy away from the drum machines and keyboards to create more guitar orientated songs. Some songs even overlap both genres. The song "I Disappear" takes the dance beats that make The Faint unique and interesting and blends them with more tradition guitar and bass. The lyrical content is very much similar to Danse Macabre. A major theme in both albums is consumer culture. Songs such as "Symptom Finger" demonstrate this, "The faintness that you feel is nothing permanent. Don't buy the sickness on T.V. You want your health they want the fee. You see the ads and start to think, I feel it coming on " While being even more blatantly political than on previous efforts they have become even more personal in their lyrics too. "How Could I Forget" shows this trait, "How could I forget a waste of breath? Of course I do, remember. All the things you said were pointless. And now you go on dropping names...mmm but I still dig you." The Faint have done a great job of doing what many artists can't do after a successful album, they made a CD that is just is good if W W M«W WEAK SO-SO DECENT ••••• GOOD GKEAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

little � doubt � that � you � may � have � questions � regarding � this � issue � of � the � Pride. � It � is � a � break � from � our � traditional � format, � and � is � a � break � from � newspaper � style � in � general. � The � Pride � editors � would � like � to � provide � some � insight � to � this � issue. � � � The � Pride � office � was � moved � [sic] � the � course � of � last � week � to � a � new � office � located � in � Academic � Hall. � As � a � condition � of � this � move, � The � Pride � was � to � receive � two � computers � to � supplement � our � ability � to � produce � our � newspaper. � � � The � move � was � addled � with � bureaucratic � manipulation. � The � move � was � partially � completed � by � two � separate � departments: � IITS � and � Facility � Services. � � � Once � in � the � new � office, � our � computers � had � not � been � delivered � nor � could � they � be � located � or � accounted � for. � At � the � very � least, � we � thought � we � could � function � as � normal � when � our � existing � computers � were � moved � to � the � new � office � the � following � day. � � � However, � during � the � IITS � move � of � our � existing � computers, � the � hard � drive � of � our � layout � computer � crashed � and � no � one � knew � if � the � data � could � be � recovered. � Without � our � template � and � files � we � would � be � creating � a � newspaper � from � scratch. � � � By � Thursday, � the � situation � escalated � because � we � still � did � not � have � our � new � computers. � We � checked � with � the � data � recovery � effort � and � were � assured � that � we � were � on � the � lowest � rung � of � importance: � no � matter � who � or � what � department � on � campus � had � a � computer � problem � they � would � get � priority � over � us. � � � We � asked � for � help � from � the � administration � to � locate � and � deliver � our � new � computers � and � to � see � to � it � that � we � had � a � higher � priority � for � our � data � to � be � recovered. � We � were � told � that � it � was � our � problem � to � deal � with. � We � were � told � that � we � needed � to � be � creative � and � find � a � way � to � produce � our � paper � without � our � layout � computer. � Indeed, � we � got � creative. � [Dear � Reader � cont. � p.2] � � 2 � Tuesday, � September � 28, � 2004 � [Dear � Reader, � from � pg.1] � � From � our � brainstorming � sessions, � the � hand- written � Pride � was � born. � The � idea � served � the � dual � purpose � of � getting � a � paper � on � the � newsstands � for � the � readers � and � demonstrating � to � the � administration � our � resilience � in � the � face � of � idling � bureaucracy. � � THANK � YOU, � � [signatures] � � � CSUSM � Protests � �Last � Thursday, � 200- 300 � students � protested � the � cancellation � of � filmmaker � Michael � Moore’s � scheduled � visit � to � campus. � � � Students � and � faculty � gathered � in � front � of � University � Hall � at � 11 � A.M. � in � order � to � exercise � their � freedom � of � speech. � � � “Claim � your � Education � Freedom � of � Information” � was � the � slogan. � Students � carried � signs � and � wore � baseball � caps � to � voice � their � opposition. � The � event � attracted � the � attention � of � many � students, � faculty � and � local � media. � � � A � variety � of � speakers � including � students, � professors, � and � other � community � members � encouraged � students � not � to � stay � silent � but � to � voice � their � opinions. � � � “Do � you � know � our � names? � We � are � tomorrow � and � today” � sang � senior � Heather � Vance, � one � of � the � protest � organizers. � She � sang � a � song � urging � students � not � to � be � silenced. � She � challenged � the � administration � to � “let � us � get � involved � in � our � education.” � � � One � of � the � speakers � for � the � event, � Associate � Professor � Sharon � Elise � said � that � when � she � heard � Moore � wasn’t � coming � she � was � “shocked.” � She � asked � the � students � during � her � speech, � “What � is � so � scary � about � Michael � Moore? � Did � I � hear � someone � say � donors?” � � Encouraging � students � to � vote � was � a � common � theme � among � the � speakers. � � [Protest � cont. � p.2] � � Image � <alt � tag=”hands � in � clenched � fists � and � picket � signs”> � � [Protest � from � pg.1] � � CSUSM � President � Karen � Haynes, � the � person � largely � responsible � for � the � cancellation, � was � among � those � present � at � the � protest. � “I � hope � we � will � learn � something.” � When � asked � if � she � was � Republican, � Haynes � said � “That � was � not � part � of � my � decision.” � � “We � really � feel � supported, � noticed � and � heard,” � said � student � Aamora � Ysrael. � When � asked � if � the � event � will � make � a � difference � she � said, � “I � don’t � know � if � it � will � or � not. � The � important � thing � is � that � the � students � have � tried. � It’s � remarkable � to � see � students � come � together � in � such � big � numbers.” � � “It � was � an � incredibly � important � political � lesson � about � the � power � of � organized � protest. � People � should � remember � because � this � is � how � change � happens,” � said � Assistant � Professor � Lance � Newman. � “Students � did � a � great � job. � I � hope � this � is � the � beginning � of � a � lively � political � discussion � on � campus.” � � ASI � announced � last � Thursday � that � thanks � to � private � donors � Moore � will � speak � on � October � 12 � at � 7 � p.m. � at � the � nearby � Del � Mar � Fairgrounds. � ASI � will � begin � selling � tickets � today, � Tuesday � September � 28. � Tickets � are � free � for � students � and � available � on � a � first- come � first- served � basis. � Event � tickets � can � be � acquired � at � Commons � 207 � from � 8:30 � A.M. � to � 4:30 � P.M. � M- F � except � the � day � of � the � event � and � cost � $10 � for � non- students. � � � [Credits, � page � 2] � � THE �

Last � Wednesday, � September � 22, � students � and � staff � gathered � on � the � Kellogg � Library � terrace � for � a � “Thank � you � for � Recycling” � celebration. � There � were � games, � prizes � and � almost � 500 � hot � dogs � handed � out � at � the � event. � � � “For � this � event � we � wanted � to � focus � on � the � accomplishment � which � the � school � has � reached � with � recycling � and � encourage � students � to � recycle � more,” � said � Carl � Hanson � a � Green � member � who � helped � organize � the � event. � � � � State � law � requires � public � institutions � to � recycle � 50 � percent � of � their � waste. � As � of � January � 2004, � CSUSM � was � recycling � 56.2 � percent � of � campus � wasted. � CSUSM � has � the � highest � standing � for � recycling � among � CSU � campuses, � according � to � the � Green � Team. � � � The � campus � recycling � program � has � become � a � huge � success � because � students � seem � to � have � become � very � environmentally � conscious. � Students’ � willingness � to � recycle � has � helped � our � university � save � over � $100, � 000. � “The � university � doesn’t � have � to � pay � as � much � for � trash � disposal � due � to � the � increase � in � recycling, � and � subsequent � decrease � in � amount � of � trash,” � said � Hanson. � � � The � goal � of � the � Green � Team � if � for � CSUSM � to � become � a � waste � free � campus. � Students � and � faculty � can � help � the � Green � Team � reach � their � goal � by � becoming � more � aware � of � which � materials � can � be � recycled. � For � example � the � plastic � cups � from � Starbucks � are � recyclable. � For � more � information � on � what � items � can � be � recycled, � to � to � the � Green � Team’s � website � at: � http://www.csusm.edu/facilities/recycle.htm � � Features � [pg.4] � � Recognized � for � Creativity � By � Alfred � Chu � � [NOTE: � Gerado � Gonzales � is � wrong. �

student � [sic],” � said � Gonzales. � “My � goal � is � to � share � research � opportunities � with � students � and � if � they � can � get � involved � while � in � the � graduate � program, � this � increases � their � chances � for � careers.” � � Coming � from � a � large � migrant � hard � working � family, � Gonzales � first � arrived � at � CSUSM � in � 1991. � As � one � of � two � professors � in � the � psychology � department � during � that � time, � he � has � seen � rapid � changes � on � and � off � campus. � � � After � graduating � from � CSU � Fresno, � Gonzales � received � his � doctorate � from � California � School � of � Professional � Psychology. � He � has � completed � extensive � clinical � and � research � training � in � psychotherapy � at � UC � Berkeley � for � two � years. � Gonzales � also � completed � a � post � doctorate � research � fellowship � at � the � University � of � San � Francisco. � � � Gonzales � has � been � an � adjunct � professor � at � CSU � Hayward � for � one � year � and � UC � Berkeley. � Since � 1991, � Gonzales � has � taught � many � psychology � courses � ranging � from � computer � applications � in � psychology, � in � the � upper � division � level, � to � graduate � programs � courses � such � as � pre- seminar � in � counseling � and � clinical � psychology. � � � Director � of � the � NLRC � since � 2002, � the � organization � specializes � in � research, � training, � technical � assistance � and � services � that � commit � to � the � understanding � and � awareness � of � the � United � States � Latino � community. � The � research � is � conducted � from � community � issues � and � concerns � to � a � solution. � � � Research � topics � included � education, � public � policy, � employment, � mental � and � physical � health. � The � services � include � evaluations, � demographic � studies, � �assessments, � interest � groups, � surveys � and � data � analyses. � Thus � they � are � available � to � public � agencies � and � community � organizations. � � � “My � encouragement � is � if � you � haven’t � thought � about � graduate � school, � think � about � it,” � said � Gonzales. � “It’s � never � too � late � and � never � too � early � either. � Talk � to � your � faculty � and � instructors, � learn � about � them � and � see � how � you � can � work � with � them.” � � Gonzales � [sic] � hobbies � include � playing � the � guitar, � seeing � movies � related � to � art � and � on � occasion � plays � sports � for � fun. � He � travels � a � lot � for �

Fire alarms, located in each apartment near the stove and restroom, have been the major disturbance at the UVA. There have been 65 false alarms since the beginning of the semester. "The fire alarms are sensitive, they have to be, to avoid fires," said Brian Dawson, director of UVA. "They go off more frequently in the beginning of the year as students have to understand where the sensitivity level is at." The maj ority of false alarms on campus are from cooking. Only two false alarms this semester are from something else, one from steam and one from a blow dryer. "The first day I moved in I made pizza and it set off the alarm," said resident Robert Bothmer. "Since then every time I cook it seems they go off, but I gotta eat." Every time an alarm goes off a police officer is sent to make sure there isn't a fire and the Resident Assistant (RA) on call goes to See UVA, page 2 Moore info, Moore tickets TUESDAY, O CTOBER 5, 2 004 VOL. XII NO. 6 ASI, Moore decide to halt ticket sales to community to avoid early sellout BY LINDSAY RIEDEL Pride Staff Writer Michael Moore's scheduled tour stop at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on October 12 has created such an overwhelming demand for tickets that sales to non-students have been discontinued until October 7. Since Wednesday, September 29, distribution of tickets has been reserved for students, and each student is allowed only his or her one free ticket. Any addiJional ticket purchases must be done when regular ticket sales resume on Thursday, October 7 at 8:30 a.m. On the morning of September 29, it was agreed between Moore's representatives and ASI that priority would be given to students in regards to the distribution of tickets. According to Manal Yamout, president of ASI, this decision is due to the fact that on the first day of sales, 4,000 out of a total of 10,000 tickets were distributed, and a large majority of those tickets were sold to the community. ASI and Moore representatives felt it was necessary to give students priority in the ticket sales to make sure all students have the opportunity to get a ticket before the supply runs out. The tickets are not limited to CSUSM students but are available to all students with valid identification. The decision to hold off all sales has sparked unrest with community members who were told tickets would be available as of Tuesday, September 28. Because of the sudden decision and the See MOORE, page 2 x Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride Students wait in line to receive their free ticket for Michael Moore's October 12 appearance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Professor John Halcon waited in line for 45 minutes before he was told that tickets were reserved for students only. "There was a sign on the window but no sign toward the end of the line. You aren't going to walk up to the window, then go to the back of the line," said Halcon. " I'm irritated, not mad; I don't know if I'm going to go now, I don't know if I'll be able to get in line next week when they're ready to sell to people." Shortly after Halcon reported his experience, ASI displayed signs at the end of the line. By creating a time period for only students to receive tickets, students are not able to purchase tickets for family and friends at the same time. "I feel it's an unfortunate turn of events," said John Gehris, executive vice president of ASI.

Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establishments. Concerning Moore's appearance, there are mixed feelings, but most students are passionate in their position on the subject. "I've been raised as a Democrat, I've read his books and seen his movies," said Emily Broedling, senior communications major. "I know he's one-sided but it's good to hear that side because you usually only hear the other side," Tenzin Peling, first year liberal studies major, also describes herself as a supporter of Michael Moore. "He's voicing his opinion and that's his right. He's just trying to open people's eyes," said Peling. "Everyone will be biased no matter what; I know it's his opinion and I can either agree or disagree." Second year student Bryan Davis feels differently on the subject. "Everything (Moore) says is unbalanced and he takes everything to an extreme," said Davis. " I'm not supporting him. I feel he's a threat to national security by trashing our president." Mark Wilson, first year business major, feels Moore is deceitful. "He's trying to sell his view- point by twisting the facts," said Wilson. A large majority of the cost of Moore's appearance has been covered by donations f rom the community, businesses and individuals. One of the substantial donations was made by the Herring Broadcast Company. Chris Moore, director of programming for Herring Broadcast Company (no relation to Michael Moore), facilitated and supported the decision for the donation made by President of Herring Broadcast Company, Robert Herring Sr. "Young people should be encouraged to involve themselves in the political process. As a member of the media, it is our responsibility to promote f ree speech," said Chris Moore. "It was a way to make a statement of our support for the students' apparent passion and helping students do something. (CSUSM) students made a strong statement, UVA, f rom page 1 , investigate. If the alarm is triggered f rom a stove a call is made to University Police who will then reset it, said Lt. Doug Miller of University Police. Although the alarm only sounds in the room where it was triggered, students in nearby units are still affected. "I haven't had any go off," said resident Erik McLeod. "But I can hear other alarms going off right down the hall." But not all students have had a problem with false alarms. "They haven't bothered me," Photo by Cliezare Milo the Palm Court Plaza.

Some students have also encountered problems with mold. Several apartment residents have found mold growing in their carpets, window seals and showers and even in ceilings. Olivia Roldan discovered her mold problem when she noticed a " funky smell." Caity Ries found mold growing inside her window seals. In both instances they called the front desk and the problem was fixed immediately. "The majority o f mold problems come from the air conditioner. If residents leave it on really low temperature for a long time then it (the A/C unit) will freeze," said Sonya Maestas, an RA. "When it starts to thaw out it drips and can cause mold." "But if someone calls about mold, we (RA's) call maintenance and they fix it right away," said Maestas. Cassie Johnson had a different problem. She went into her bathroom and noticed the light above was dripping and a large puddle covered the floor. The shower in the unit above had leaked and flooded her bathroom below. She called the front desk. "They came right away and cut out a part of the ceiling and replaced it with plaster," said Johnson.

If you're a beer enthusiast then you definitely recognize the difference between quality beers and stank beer. Stone Chief Executive Greg Koch and co-founder/brewmaster Steve Wagner set out seven years ago to produce beers with character that could be enjoyed by all. "The first year and a half, Stone Brewery was seeing substantial losses," said Koch. "It's hard to know if you're making a mistake by continuing production." Yet, Greg and Steve had a vision and the guts to push forth with production, even when things were looking down. Another aspect of the stone culture is the representation of gargoyles. "All of our beers feature a gargoyle on the bottle because they symbolize the big character of our beers," said Koch. Two of the largest user-based rating websites ratebeer.com and beeradvoate.com have both rated Stone Brewery as the number one American brewery out of 3400 breweries. Stone really put their name on the map when they first released Arrogant Bastard Ale (7.2% Ale/ Vol) in November of 1997. Other beers that have received much acclaim are Stone Ruination IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol), Stone Lévitation Ale (4.4% Ale/Vol) and Stone IPA (7.7% Ale/Vol).

As well, holds an Associate of Arts degree in Radio and Television. He also has a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Film Studies. In addition, Jason is also a published author. Recently, Hinkle won an Award of Excellence from the 2004 Accolade Competition i n Escondido, California. Previously, he also won the top prize for Special Documentary Award from the Goldie Film Awards Festival. Hinkle is a regular guy that values his friendships and has a great perspective on life. His documentary is an autobiographical account of the challenges that he must face on a daily basis due to his disorder, Frederick's Ataxia. According to Merriam-Webster's dictionary ataxia means, an inability to coordinate voluntary muscular movements that is symptomatic of some nervous disorder. Frederick's Ataxia is just one of the untreatable and incurable diseases existing today. Awareness is vital because maybe one day there will be a cure to relieve the immense suffering that people diagnosed with Frederick's Ataxia experience on a daily basis. Presumably fearless, Hinkle faces life's challenges on a daily basis and he does it by creating awareness now. He strives to create a better future for the unborn children in the world that will inevitably inherit Friederick's Ataxia.

Going into this inaugural season in the new Petco Park most Padres fans were expecting a winning season, including me. If you save all my previous columns like I know you do then you can go through your scrapbook all the way back to a previous Jock Talk that came out on March 16, 2004 where I wrote, "San Diego baseball fans are more hopeful than usual for the start of the 2004 season.. .fans also expect a winning team after five long years of losing." The Padres turned my hopes into a reality by producing their first winning season since 1998, but as great as this season was it still ended up being a disappointment and I am part to blame. I went to 10 Padres games this year and not once did they send me home a happy Padres fan, losing all 10 games while I was in attendance. With the Padres narrowly missing the playoffs I can't help but realize the amazing coincidence that the Padres did not win while I was in attendance. But, was it just a coincidence or was I a jinx? I have never thought much of jinxes or curses. That is just something that ball players believe in like stepping on the chalk lines will affect the way you pitch or that a Billy goat is the reason why the Cubs haven't won a world series since 1908. I thought nothing of me being th m i A M TI E VUl WAN C C LASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples. Some of the many eggs your body disposes monthly.

Nor did I think anything of it when they lost on the first Friday night home game against one of the best pitchers in the league in Randy Johnson. I started to get concerned around mid June when they lost to the lowly Devil Rays. Then on July 9 the Padres reliable closer Trevor Hoffman blew a save versus the unassuming Colorado Rockies. The final straw for me came on the first of August when the Dodgers came from behind in 12 innings to beat the Padres.

Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" has been resurrected and is now for sale at chain electronic stores. Released in 1915, the silent film accounts the friendship between a northern family, the Stonemans, and a southern family, the Cameron's during pre/post Civil War era, President Lincoln's assassination and the rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK). I used the term "resurrected" for three reasons. First, it was made before Hollywood existed, and now it's been released on DVD. Second, we see first hand of the roots of filmmaking. And thirdly, it's possibly the first film to use political ideals onscreen. I admit this was the first silent picture film I've seen. But we've all heard the phrase "A picture if worth a thousand words." And f rom these pictures, anyone can learn Griffith's own prejudices and the racism during thefilmand the controversy that sparked after the film. As a movie critic, this is one o fthe rare I don't know why anybody, including occasions that the plot is not important in Griffith, would want any part of this film, a critique. It's what symbolized, portrayed Maybe they thought they could tell a story and surrounds the film is important. But the way it really happened. Or maybe I'll be fair for those that would like to know they thought they could be the first to use the plot. The two families, the Stonemans political ideals in a film. Or maybe they and the Cameron's, were friends until the thought the best way to be remembered is Civil War erupted which caused the sons being the villain. Or maybe they thought of each family sent to fight each other on to sell a film is to sell controversy. I agree the battlefield. that controversy sells.

The liars are everywhere on campus. I know this because I'm one of them. Disgusted with myself, I nod when people ask me if I'm going to vote. "Hell, yes!" I say as I scurry in the direction of my class. Yet I know I won't. The funny thing is, I take a sick pride in knowing that I am not alone. On this campus, I have run into likeminded folks who smile at the student protests, get loud at the indecencies of government, perhaps shake a fist in the air saying, "Fees, fees we can't pay these!" You know who you are. We are the ones who silently stand by and listen very carefully until we make eye contact. Then we out each other, carefully so as not to make a scene, though. I can feel it now, the comfort of the knowing stare and smile that says, "Yes, friend, you may seek refuge with me and the other big-talking-no-voting villagers." Please don't mistake my tone for pride. I hate the fact that the gumption I have for voting dissipates as soon as I park my car in the dirt and walk up that jerk of a sidewalk. Lazy? So what. As available as registering is, I have never even come close to "locking the vote." Some students have legitimate reasons.

I can't sit at Tom's lunch table because he has actually heard from both sides, taken it all in, and has come to a well informed conclusion. Good man. Joe Inixienginai, a Business major, simply feels that choosing is losing since it would be the "Same old, same old." More my style. My favorite voter immunity is Liberal Arts student Alanna Colepietro who lashes out, " I'm Canadian." These are just three non-voting students I have come across. Where's our protest against voting in general? Why should we be ashamed or hide in the darkest corners of Craven? Where's our red, white and blue bumper stickers that say, "Don't blame me, I voted for m e!" While I truly do understand the history making election that is upon us, I can't seem to muster up and sustain the urgency to vote. I'm busy avoiding the credit card people. I'm busy picking up dog poop. I'm watching the heavy rotation of the MTV Music Awards. Simply put, if Andre 3000 dressed in his political best can't get me to vote, I doubt anything can. pregna j apr h ealt c hoice! m ake i nformed, c onfident 2 7 7 5* R a n c h o S a n t i F e U é S an M a r c o s m o r e Info?. |f birthchoice.net The University Studies Abroad Consortium, with programs in 24 countries, allows students to master languages and study disciplines — including business, fine arts and history — at distinguished, overseas schools* Soak up the vibrant culture and be transformed by the experience of living in a foreign land. * Summer, semester and yearlong programs * Wide range of aeademit courses * Internships • Language classes at all levels • Field trips and tours * Small classes • University credit * Scholarships • Housing Màl àtiswers* real help abroadU , CNOTM„ .^ OSRI —u w —t^ Ò+U, �A&E THE PRIDE Looking back at: The Roots: The Tipping Point BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer Climbing the "Ladder 49" BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer I walked into the theater expecting to see "Ladder 49" as a movie that makes firefighters seem like heroes to the point that Superman couldn't measure up to them even on his best day a firefighter.

RENT, the musical, is about a group of young friends living in New York City (the center of the world), and how they deal with relationships, AIDS, death and the inability to make the monthly rent. There are eight main characters. (Try to keep up) Benny, former roommate of Roger and Mark who now owns the building they live in and is demanding rent for a full year. Mark, a young filmmaker, who lives with Roger and used to date Maureen. Roger, HIV positive musician, who lives with Mark and is in love with Mimi. Mimi, HIV positive exotic dancer with a drug habit. Collins, best friend to Roger and Mark, falls in love - with Angel. Angel, HIV positive drag queen. Maureen, performance artist that dumped Mark for Joanne. Joanne, a recent law school graduate, now dating Maureen. The story is told through music, song and dance. From the moment Roger and Mark took the stage, the audience roared with applause and cheers, and not a word had been spoken. Mark opens the scene, the band starts playing, Mark begins to sing and it feels like you're at a rock concert. The songs are infectiously optimistic, even though they tell the tale of heartbreak, struggle and death. The underlying theme throughout the play was sung in "No day like today". Even though the characters battle the hardships of disease, destitution and death of loved ones, the message is that there is only today because tomorrow is not guaranteed. We can't live our lives feeling sorrow or regret, we need to focus on what we do have right now and do the best we can with it. - In the beginning of the second act, the entire cast sings in unison: "Five hundred twentyfive thousand, six hundred minutes. . .how do you measure a life in a year?" RENT takes the audience through a year in the lives of the main characters. In that year, relationships flourish and fade. They each have a personal struggle to connect with each other and with themselves. The entire production is a moving illustration of the trials w e face as young adults living in America. We are all trying to find our place in this world, but it is especially hard when, as the cast sings, "you are what you own". If you don't own anything, does that mean you are nothing? RENT inspires hope that our materialistic society will change and what should matter, will matter. The message is that only love matters and it is what we do with the love we are given and the love we have to give that makes us who we are. Since its debut on Broadway in 1996, RENT has earned a Pulitzer Prize and 12 Tony Awards. It is definitely a play for all to see and experience. RENT was written and composed by Jonathan Larson, he died days after its first opening night, but his story still lives on. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

X II NO. 7 EIC to close Draft legislation alive in senate without passage of referendum Childcare services to end without new f unds BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Childcare services on campus will end a fter this semester unless students approve additional funding. Since 1998, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) has owned and operated the Early Learning Center (ELC) which provides low cost childcare services for students, faculty, and staff. Due to ASI experiencing significant budget cuts these f unds will no longer be available. If no new f unding source i s acquired, childcare services at CSUSM will have to b e discontinued until December 2007 when the Center for Children and Families is expected to open. "These students would have to drop out of school if i t wasn't for this place," said Mosetta Rodrigues-Coppedge in reference to students who have children in the ELC. Currently, 48 students have children enrolled at the Early Learning Center; 35 students utilize the center f ull time and 13 use it part time. The ELC's curriculum provides an instruction that enables children to build self-esteem, learn acceptable methods of cooperation and become competent individuals within a group setting. There are 6 schedules to choose from for the f ull time program which consists of 8-9 hour days and 3 schedules to choose from for the part time program which consists of 4 hour days. Registration for children costs $23 for students, and $30 for faculty and staff per semester. In addition tuition costs at the ELC are $23 full-time and $16 part-time per day for students and $30 full-time and $20.00 part-time per day for faculty and staff. In addition to providing childcare, the ELC provides the campus with internships, employment opportunities, as well as a source for course projects and child observation. In an attempt raise the f unds needed to support the ELC a Childcare Fee Referendum has been called. Voting for the referendum will be conducted at http://lynx. csusm.edu/vote/from October 18-21. According to ELC projections 92 percent of f unds next spring will come f rom child registration and tuition fees, five percent of f unds will come f rom fundraising and grants, and three percent will c ome from the childcare fee if it is approved. If the fee is not approved the ELC will close. If the Childcare Services Fee passes, See ELC, page 4 Photo by SSgt. Cheryl A.

Despite assurances from lawmakers as well as both presidential candidates, the bill to reinstate the draft is before the Senate Committee on Armed Services BY CHEZ ARE MILO Pride Staff Writer Despite the recent defeat of d raft legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives, d raft legislation remains under consideration in the Senate. The latest version of United States Senate Bill 89, titled the Universal National Service Act of 2003, calls for a mandatory selective service requirement of two years for men and women between the ages of 18-26. The bill in its most recent form offers no deferment for college students and makes it mandatory for wome n to sign up for the draft. S. 89 is currently under review in the Senate Committee on Armed Services. According to one provision in the bill, "based upon the needs of the uniformed services, the President shall determine the number of persons" who shall b e called to serve. People "who are not selected for (the) military ... shall perform their national service obligation under this Act in a civilian capacity" S. 89 also gives the President power New York Times, free to students INSIDE News Registered to vote?« ...pg 2 What's behind the Alcohol BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer The New York Times is available to students at no charge for a four week trial period beginning Oct 11. There will be 500 New York Times newspapers distributed around campus Monday through Friday. At the end of trial period, Associated Students Inc. will decide whether or not to continue the service, which will cost $2,000 per month, or choose to have pay racks, like the North County Times, and have the students pay for each paper. "I think this is an amazing opportunity. We use the New York Times in so many of our classes.

Voter registration forms must be postmarked by October 18 in order to be eligible to vote in the November 2 general election. In order to be eligible to register to vote in the State of California, you must be a U.S. Citizen, a California resident, at least 18 years of age on or before the election, not be in prison or on parole for a felony conviction, and not be declared mentally incompetent by a court action. There are three ways to register to vote in thé state of California. One way is to download a registration form from the I nter- net, fill it out, and mail it in. Downloadable registration forms can be found on several websites including http://www.ss.ca. gov/elections/voteregl.html and www.rockthevote.org. Another way to register to vote is by obtaining, filling out and mailing in a registration postcard. Registration postcards are available at the DMV, the post office, at public libraries as well as the Kellogg Library on campus. The third way to register is to have a registration postcard mailed to you, fill it out, and mail it back. Those wishing to have registration postcard mailed to their residence should contact the Registrar of Voters main office at (858) 565-5800 and request a registration postcard. Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride Voter registration forms are available in English and in Spanish. If you are already registered to vote in California, it is only necessary to re-register to vote if you move, change your name, or wish to change your party affiliation. Some people don't register to vote under the pretense that they will not be called for j ury duty, but this is not true. The list of registered voters is shared with the court system; however indi- viduals are already in the pool of people to be called for j ury duty if they have a driver's license or state-issued identification card. On Election Day a picture ID is required for first time voters who registered by mail. If you plan to vote through an absentee ballot, the option is provided on voter registration forms. The deadline to apply for an absentee ballot is October 2 6,2004.

Tickets are sold out, protestors are rallying, and controversy is stirring. By the time tickets became available to the public on the morning of October 7, there were 2,500 tickets to sell out of the total 10,000 tickets originally available. Tickets sold out on October 8. Penelope Young Andrade, a Rancho Penasquitos resident, feels that the decision to postpone ticket sales to the public was not executed as well as it could have been.

Aztec Shops will be selling Michael Moore paraphernalia such as books, hats, shirts, and CDs at the event.

In terms of getting more community turnout, it would have been better if it weren't postponed, or if it were made a little easier," said Andrade. Many of the community members who came to buy tickets were not upset by the postponement of ticket sales. "It's originally supposed to be for students, so it's understandable," said Heidi Pierce, a resident of Imperial Beach. ASI publicized the postponement of ticket sales by sending emails to CSUSM staff, posting it on their website, and providing a hotline for up-to-date information. The CSUSM College Republicans, other local college republicans, as well as many students and community members are planning to protest at the event.

In order for S. 89 to become law, it would have to pass in the Senate as well as the House of Representatives. The nearly identical house version of the bill, HR 163, was unexpectedly brought to a vote on October 5. Republican Congressman John M. McHugh of New York motioned to bring the bill to a vote early by placing the legislation on the Suspension Calendar. "Now some may say today that this legislation is really about the need to establish a system of national service— And I would say—that is a legitimate topic of discussion. But the clear objective of this bill—and the undeniable intent of recent claims of secret plans and post election plots is focused on a return of the draft—forced military conscription," said McHugh before the house. "The administration clearly, the Department o f Defense clearly, and I suspect that at the end of this vote it will be shown the House of Representatives clearly rejects the fact, either before an election, at election or a fter election, that there is a need, there is a rationale, for returning to mandatory conscription by the United States military." said McHugh prior to Tuesday's vote. The vote was 402 - 2 against the bill. Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel of New York, the original sponsor of HR 163, was unhappy with the rush to vote. "The Republican leadership decision to place the d raft legislation on the Suspension Calen- Photo by Staff Sergeant Jonathon Agee / courtesy of the United States Marine Core Brothers, Parke and Jared Stearns recite the Oath of Enlistment at a Military Entrance and Processing Station for Recruiting Station Springfield, MA. dar (bring the bill to a vote early) is a political maneuver to kill rumors of the President's intention to reinstate the d raft after the November election." said Rangel in a public statement released after the vote. Cosponsor of the bill, Democratic Congressman Pete Stark of California, stated the intent of the legislation upon its introduction to the House of Representatives. "I ardently oppose war with Iraq....For those who conscientiously object to war; the bill assures that any military service would not include combat. Oth- erwise, there would be no preferences, no deferments, no chance for the well-off or the well-connected to dodge military service for their country, as did our President. " "Reinstituting the d raft may seem unnecessary to some. But, it will ensure all Americans share in the cost and sacrifice of war. Without a universal d raft, this burden weighs disproportionately on the shoulders of the poor, the disadvantaged and minority populations. It is my understanding that out of the 435 Members of this House and the 100 members of the Senate, only o neonly one—has a child in active military service. Who are we to know the pain of war when we ourselves will not directly bear the brunt of that action? It won't be us mourning the loss of a child or loved one. Maybe some of you in this Congress would think twice about voting for war in Iraq if you knew your child may be sent to fight in the streets of Baghdad?" said Stark. Despite the continued consideration of S. 89 in the Senate both presidential candidates have made statements indicating there will be no d raft. "I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft. We're not going to have a draft, period. The all-volunteer Army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops well. It works when we make sure they've got housing, like we have done in the last military budgets.

We're not going to have a d raft so long as I'm the president," added Bush. "Let me tell you where the president's policies have put us . . . Our Guard and Reserves have been turned into almost active duty. You've got people doing two and three rotations. You've got stop-loss policies, so people can't get out when they were supposed to.

Felipe Sanchez, Junior and International Business major said that he told friends who were not sure whether they wanted to see Michael Moore that "it doesn't hurt to go and you don't have to agree with him, just go and see what he wants to talk about. The good thing about it is you can criticize what he says." Know your alcohol Requirement must be fulfilled this week BY KIN SCHLATTER Pride Staff Writer All incoming freshman and transfer students who attended orientation this past summer will be required to take an alcohol prevention program. Students to which the requirement applies must successfully pass the final exam with a grade of 70 percent or better no later than October 15, 2004. Students that fail to complete the requirement will have a hold placed on their registration for spring 2005 classes. In order to satisfy the alcohol education requirement students are required to complete a program called AlcoholEdu, which is on-line education course designed for college students. There are two parts to the AlcoholEdu course that need to be completed to satisfy the requirement. The first part of the course requires completion of a final exam and post-survey. The second part of the course requires the completion of a "course conclusion" which will be emailed to students approximately 30 days after completion of the first part of the course. The "course conclusion" must be submitted by December 7 in order to fulfill the alcohol education requirement. Informing students about the facts and risks of alcohol consumption is the goal of AlcoholEdu. AlcoholEdu was created by Outside the Classroom, an online education company, and is currently being used by over 350 college campuses. The decision to use the AlcoholEdu program came from the university's Substance Abuse Advisory Council. The Substance Abuse Advisory council is a group of faculty, students, staff and members of the local community who work on alcohol prevention for the campus and the city of San Marcos. "The council reviewed several prevention programs that could be delivered to our students and chose Alcohol EDU as the tool for all of our incoming students to use as part of their orientation to our campuses," said Bridget Blanshan director of Student and Residential Life and member of the Substance Abuse Advisory Council. "The course was designed to give students information to assist them into making wise decisions about alcohol use and let students learn their own limits about alcohol consumption." Jonathon Poullard, associate vice president for Student Affairs, also has a seat on the Substance Abuse Advisory Council. "The Alcohol EDU Prevention Program is a broad-base population approach to establishing and reinforcing a norm around consumption," said Poullard. Students that have any questions about meeting the requirement can call Deb Fritsrold at Students and Residential Life @ (760)-750-4952.

Among the audience, was a panel of distinguished speakers such as Scott Greenwood, CSUSM professor of political science, Beth Accomando, KPBS film critic, and Daniel McSwain, editorial page editor of the North County Times. The screening began at 6p.m. and was followed by a group discussion conducted by the panel of speakers. Most of the audience seemed to enjoy the film as laughter occasionally swept the room. Admission prices were $2.50 for Cal State San Marcos students, $3 for faculty and staff and $4 for other guests. A fter the screening, audience members exchanged opinions and views with each other and with the panel of speakers.

"The event was successful and fed CSUSM students at the rate of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates per hour" The festival came to the Mezzanine playing Bavarian polkas, waltzes, ballads and dancing called Schuhplatters. Schuhplatters consist of a duo dancing in circles arm in arm, while intermittently slapping the soles of their shoes. "My family has always loved the Schuplatter tradition," said Erma Fassel, "which originated when the Germari village folk observed bird mating dances while playing classical music" "The Oktoberfest tradition started in the middle ages when King Ludwig 1 married Theresa of Saxon and threw a huge party for the event," said Bill Fassel, who is three-fourths Austrian and one-fourth Bavarian. It went so well that he decided to do it again next year. The tradition has lived on as a lavish party and celebrates the fall harvest in the Bundesland. In modern Germany Oktoberfest is celebrated in many places but mainly in the big city of Munich located in the southern province of Bavaria. The cultural event happens when the people set up nine huge tents, holding about 10,000 people each and having an authentic twenty-five man brass band playing folk music for residents and visitors from around the world. A variety of different beers are served and traditional attire is worn to signify the history of the region. CSUSM's Oktoberfest was an ASI sponsored event developed by Tanja Schroder, director Bill Fassel plays the accordion for students at the Mezzanine. of ASI cultural events, and Jen Kitter, director of annual events. "The event was successful and fed CSUSM students at the rate of 200 bratwurst hot dog plates per hour/' said Kitter. Drinks, sauerkraut and fried onions were also served. "If you missed the event, ASI has plans for another fun Oktoberfest but you'll have to wait until next year," said Schroder. Students receive bratwurst hot dogs from ASI. More than just nutritional bars PAID ADVERTISEMENT Lunafest presents films b enefiting breast cancer awareness f und BY ALLISON SANSBURY Pride Staff Writer Lunafest is a traveling film festival that features movies and short films created by, for and about women. Cal State San Marcos got two chances to catch the Lunafest this year, once on October 8 and October 9. Lunafest is sponsored by Lunabar, a nutritional bar. Luna-bar is presently an active sponsor of the Breast Cancer Awareness Fund. Being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there could not be a more appropriate time to have the festival. The makers of the Luna-bar, Clif Bar Inc., created the Lunabar in response to female consumers and women employees of Clif Bar Inc. The films that played at Lunafest this year were, "A Good Uplift", "Shui Hen", "Little Black Boot", "Wet Dreams and False Images", "Velvet Tigress", "La Milpa/The Cornfield" and "Dysenchanted". The Breast Cancer Awareness Fund is a nonprofit organization focused on identifying the causes of breast cancer and preventing the disease. Cures for breast cancer can vary but the extreme involves removing the breast. Portions of the profits from ticket sales go to the Breast Cancer Fund. The first ever Lunafest raised $7,000 in 2001. Although, last year $21,500 was raised. The next stop for the Lunafest is in Seattle, Washington. Lunafest will then continue its trip across the U.S. Shows ranging from the Lunabar headquarters in Berkeley to Boston and even Canada. The Lunabar also sponsors other groups such as the Luna Chix, the official professional mountain biking team of Luna-bar. If you're a LUNA-tic, more information is available at www. lunabar.com.

There have been quite I a few sports movies that have been disappointing like "For The Love of The Game" with Kevin Costner or "The Rookie" with Dennis Quaid and no disrespect to those guys but they don't belong on the field trying to imitate athletes. Actors trying to play coaches hasn't exactly worked out too well either; j ust ask A1 Pacino in "Any Given Sunday" which was not one of his greatest performances. So when I heard Billy Bob Thornton was going to play the part of head coach Gary Gaines in this movie I didn't exactly have the best feeling. However, Billy Bob did not disappoint in this role. He played the role of the head coach of the Permian High Panthers in the small town of Odessa, Texas. Permian high was profiled in an issue of Sports Illustrated in 1988 that told the story of this football team that had to overcome many obstacles to narrowly lose in the Texas state football championship. In small towns of Texas, high school football is everything to the people. The entire town shuts down on Friday nights so that everyone can catch the game. With so much focus on the sport, the student athletes and coaches feel the pres- DEGREE sure to perform. The star running back for the Panthers was Boobie Miles (Played by Derek Luke) who had his ticket written to pretty much any college until he got hurt the first game of the season with a knee injury. Boobie felt so much pressure that he tried to come back too early and he f urther injured his knee. Many kids who play football feel extra pressure because their dads were great football players and such was the case of Don Billingsley. Billingsley is played by Garret Hedlund and his dad is played by country western star Tim McGraw. Billingsley is constantly being berated by his father for not living up to what his father accomplished when he played football. For some kids in these small towns their only ticket out is through football and such was the case for quarterback Mike Winchell (played by Lucas Black). A fter the injury to Boobie, Winchell was forced to find a way to get this team to the championship when not much was expected of him at the beginning of the season. The story of Coach Gaines is then intertwined with those young kids showing that the athletes aren't the only ones who have to overcome a lot of pressure and expectations. This story is a story that the non sports fan will even enjoy as it is more a story about people and their shortcomings that they can overcome with perseverance.

FROM THE RIGHT Mother Nature loves you. If you think about it, she's pretty damn tolerant. People litter the world with their trash and pollute the air Polly Charoenkwanchai around them, yet she is constantly attempting to rejuvenate the earth. We assume that she can do this fast enough to catch up to the bag of chips we hastily threw on the road yesterday or the factory down the road. Amid the busy life of a student, there is little or no time to think about the environment. Most of us are hypocrites. We say we care about the nature of the world while almost all of us continue to drive vehicles that pollute the air. It's a catch-22! I am opposed to drilling oil in Alaska, but I love my little Honda Civic which consumes gas like a frat boy gulps down beer. I hate the thought of wild life losing their habitat, but that doesn't make me want to walk to work. So what is the solution? Should we forgo cars and live off the land? I believe that there are little things people can do to help Mother Nature help us: Don't Litter. Trashcans are virtually everywhere nowadays; it wouldn't hurt to walk the extra eight steps to dispose your garbage. Carpool. It saves money, it helps the environment and you have your own specially designated lane on the f reeway. Better yet, use a bike to reach your destination. I 'm not suggesting you bike if you live in San Marcos and work in Poway, but you can certainly bike to the market down the block. Once again, it saves money, it helps the environment and provides great exercise. You know those trashcans that are specified for certain types of trash? Plastics, cans, bottles and papers? Those are cans that help people recycle. They're all over campus! It shouldn't be hard to figure out where you should dump your soda can. Recycling allows less trash to be sent to the landfills, thereby saving natural resources such as trees, oil and aluminum. The Bush administration passed a Clean Air Act that supposedly restricts air pollution by installing new pollution, control that will regulate major factory upgrades. This act would work if they did not also propose a revision to the rules called the New Source Review, which would make it simple for these plants to find a loophole to avoid or delay installing the pollution reduction technologies. This administration has also proposed to exterminate an act that would protect about 58 million acres of national forest, thereby allowing logging on more open land. The Bush administration has consistently proposed laws that hurt the environment. Although Kerry has had his share of blemishes (he voted against the maintenance of forest road service and wildlife habitat programs), but he is endorsed by the Sierra Club, a national e nvironmental organization. Kerry has voted to protect California deserts. He has proposed to end commercial whaling and illegal trading on whale meat. Kerry has voted repeatedly to block oil drilling in ANWR (Artie National Wildlife Refuge). Despite the words of politicians, it is imperative that we do something to help the precious and fragile condition of the earth. Whether your course of action leads you to the voting booth or not, it is time to realize that we have responsibilities towards Mother Nature before it's too late. Some days at CSUSM I feel like the lone buoy of moderate conservatism floating in a sea of radical liberals: professors preach the futility Phoenix Lindgren of the war in Iraq — and regime change in November ~ f rom their classroom pulpits, the liberal PAN is the most vocal group on campus and Kerry buttons on back packs appear to outnumber Bush buttons at least a thousand to one. But I never feel alone when it comes to environmental issues. I, too, have a fondness for clean air and water and space for wildlife. I recycle what I can on campus, and curbside at my house (paper, plastic, glass, aluminum, and clean greens). I quit commuting to reduce my car's emissions (and my stress level). I ride my scooter to work when the weather's Photos by Jason Encabo / The Pride nice to save energy. And I'm religious about turning off lights and keeping my water use to a minimum. It warms the cockles of my heart to see students walking to campus, overflowing recycling bins and f ull carpool spaces in our parking lots, but I've also seen plenty of recyclables in the garbage, garbage left for someone else to pick up, and students being dropped off in front of Craven by family or friends rather than being inconvenienced by public transportation. One of my biggest on-campus pet peeves is those among us who use the electric doors unnecessarily. I know it's probably not a huge amount of wasted electricity, and I have no argument if your hands are f ull or you really do have trouble opening a door for yourself, but I'm constantly following people — particularly through Craven ~ who appear to use the electric door buttons as a personal, energy-wasting convenience. How each of us chooses to treat the environment is something that can't be legislated, in spite of beliefs to the contrary by my liberal colleagues. Yes, the state can mandate that the school recycles a certain volume of refuse, but unless you choose to put your recyclables into the right bin, no mandate can keep plastic and paper out of the waste stream. You're also the only one who can choose to pre-cycle — that is buy products with less packaging to reduce waste ~ take care of your clothes so they last longer, and bring a reusable mug with you to pour your organically grown coffee in. The government can legislate lower emissions for cars, but you're the one who controls what manufacturers offer based on what cars you buy. And legislation is useless when it comes to whether or not you choose to alter your lifestyle in order to reduce the number of miles you drive each year, or whether or not when the time comes to start investing your hard-earned money you invest in companies that treat the environment (and their workers) well. Who would you rather have r unning a major corporation: a person whose only motivation for corporate responsibility is legislated, or a person who believes in the principal of personal responsibility and extends that belief to how their corporation conducts its business? �OPINION \JJL THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 12 2004 •¡J By JASON NICHOLS Pride Ombudsman Moore info, Moore tickets, No Moore Michael, Moore shafting.

The Early Learning Center is CSUSM's answer for childcare for student parents. I know there are many of you out there who would like to vote no because you don't want to pay for something you are not going to use. I understand that, however many of us pay for fees here we don't use, books we don't read, a parking structure we will never see. This ten dollars is at least going to a humanitarian cause: the education of children. The Early Learning Center enables many parents the ability to continue their education to provide a better life for their children, provides childcare to CSUSM faculty & the community, as well as provides internships, employment opportunities and more. It is a wonderful program. As you could guess, I am a student parent; my daughter Madison age three has attended the "school" as she calls it, for a little over a year and she loves it. In that time, she has become potty trained, learned toridea tricycle, can count to twenty, is recognizing numbers, is learning to write her name, and is learning valuable social skills. She would have met these milestones eventually but I know that they have been met sooner and with more understanding with the love and support of the ELC staff behind her. I really hope students realize that this is not about ten more little dollars (it's only two or three Starbucks©), but it's about the big picture and as cheesy as it sounds, children are our future. The children who attend the center might be only between the ages of 2 and 5 but they still care about their school. If the vote doesn't pass the ELC will be forced to close its doors. How awful would that be for this to be these children's first educational experience; a school they have been so comfortable in and have grown to love being closed because CSUSM couldn't fit it in their budget. Please do therightthing for these children, please protect their school, please protect their teacher's jobs, please vote yes and encourage others to do so. Natasha Walls Liberal Studies Major Dear pride/editor: For the last weeks it seems that all you write about is Michael Moore.When the controversy began there were even four more pages of the edition. I want to know who makes the decision on what to write. AtfirstI thought that the writters only wrote about events that gave out free food. There was a report about the president's pick-nick and the recycling thing, both events gave out free food. But between those two events there was another event that gave free food but there was nothing written about it. Maybe it was because it was a celebration of the Mexican independence day. Or maybe it was because MEChA was an organizer of that event. I do not know the answer but I thought that a cultural event that included dance and poetry would be something to be reported about, but it was not the case. This week we have some more Michael Moore news, and I bet that next week there will be some more. There was another event that I think was important but the Pride did not take into consideration writting about it. This event was announced the universtity's home page. I'm referring to Preview Day which was held last Saturday here on campus. It is the first year that this event takes place here and it was organized by the University Outreach and Recruitment. There were many people that worked hard to put this event together and again the Pride didn't write about it. Thank you for your time. Carmelino Cruz (HD Major) Listen. Process. Help.

Lunafest has it all for Cake: Pressure Chief BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer M BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer Any man daring enough to wear pink is alright in my book. So imagine my intrigue when picking up Cake's latest album Pressure Chief. Both the packaging and the CD inside were covered in vintage-inspired pink decals. Pressure Chief is by far Cake's most eclectic album yet. The band stretches the genre of ska to its fullest extent by including so many things not typically heard in the alternative rock category. There are trumpets galore, mostly present in the first song "Wheels" but they're used throughout the entire album. The banjo is prominent in "End of the Movie" to convey the mood of an old picture. Overall, this album is so diverse that you really need to listen to every song to get the feel of what Cake is trying to accomplish. Each song is more melodic than the last and everything just works well together. "No Phone" is the second track and is headlining the record. It's very much electronica-inspired and has the catchiest tune out of a Cinderella story with a modern twist, Prince Charming was a woman.

One of my favorite tracks was "Dime" which is about taking things for granted. Lines like "I'm fine/And I shine/I'm freshly minted/I'm silver-plated/I'm underrated" really hit close to home because they can be applied to so many things, including the band, who are underrated in my opinion. Things speed up next with "Carbon Monoxide" which is blend of the pop-punk that is so popular today and classic rock from the '60s and '70s.

'Fare'ly awful BY RYAN JAMES Pride Staff Writer Saturday Night Live is a hit, but we can't say the same thing for Jimmy Fallon's acting career. The lead role of police officer Washburn is played by Fallon. Washburn is striving to please his police officer father by being a prestigious upholder of the law. In his attempts to obtain this dream, Washburn encounters many obstacles, the number one obstacle being his phobia of driving. "Taxi" opens with Washburn in undercover attire blowing a case and then proceeding to wreck a squad car, an aspect he is known for among his force. He then becomes the laughing stock of the NYPD due to a newspaper cover story of his idiocy. Upset with Washburn's terrible driving record, lieutenant Ruby (Jennifer Esposito) revokes his driver license and sends him walking. While walking home a bank robbery in progress is called into Washburn's radio. Quick to redeem himself Washburn flags down a taxi, but not just any taxi, the suped up too fast too f urious taxi of Belle (Queen Latifah). Washburn leads Belle on an ongoing pursuit of a gang of four beautiful Brazilian models, I mean bank robbers led by Vanessa, played by Vitorias Secret model Gisele Bundchen. When we as viewers go to see movies like "Taxi" we don't expect to see the greatest movie ever, but we do expect to get some laughs and leave the theater with a sense of enjoyment. While I did have the occasional laugh, it was short, and usually inspired by Belle, not our leading man Washburn. Queen Latifah's role of Belle and even the role of Washburns drunkard mother (Ann-Margaret) outshined leading man Fallon. This movie lacks the one- liners that make comedies successful. While a fan of Fallon, he wasn't able to cross over his comedic act on to the big screen. I do not recommend this movie.

The Italian translation of "grappa" literally stands for grape pomace acquavite: "water of life". Grappa was first produced in Italy around 1000 A.D. It used to be considered a poor man's drink. However, during the 1960's and 1970's, the evolution of distilling technology and v ast improvements in wine production all contributed to the reincarnation of grappa which is now known to be an elegant Italian brandy.

During this stop on his "Slacker Uprising Tour," Moore announced that the remaining funds raised for the evening's event would go to a scholarship/grant program for CSUSM students.

Students protest event BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Approximately 150 students and community members filled the street corner at Via De La Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar to protest before the appearance of filmmaker Michael Moore. CSUSM College Republicans organized the event and developed a website to get community members involved. The website stated the purpose of the protest was to let people know, "enough is enough, we are tired of Michael Moore's rhetoric and we are going to stand up against him and support our Government, President, capitalism, troops, and foreign policy." The protesters came from all over San Diego County to express their disapproval of this stop of Moore's "Slacker Uprising Tour." They held signs, some of which read "hippies go home, honk for bush, no flip flops in the white house, and no 'Moore' lies." Some protesters also chanted "4 more years" at passing motorists. College Republicans Nick Bonomi and Ashley Stuart lightened the mood of the demonstration by dressing as President Bush and as a GOP elephant respectively. "We're focusing on keeping positive," said Eileen Liston, external vice chair of the Col- An unexpected downpour Monday morning could not prevent the Graduate and Professional School Fair from going on as planned. "We didn't expect the rain," said Susan Buck-Allen from Career and Transfer Student Services, coordinator of the fair. "So far, everything has worked out great." The Director of Career and Transfer Services Sandy Punch was pleased with the turnout and the quick improvisation. "We had a mad rush to bring tables in from the rain," said Punch. The booths that were set up in the Kellogg Library Terrace area had to be moved under the cover of the library's overhang. The fair can not be rescheduled because it is part of a circuit that travels to other college campuses. "We have no choice of the date," said Punch. "We were lucky we got in (the circuit) early." The fair is held once a year in the fall. It includes representatives from different graduate schools as well as a workshop for students to hopes to remove some of the mystique of post baccalaureate education. "The workshop helps in dispelling the myths of grad school," said Punch. Other topics at the workshop included how to apply to grad school, financial aid and the experience of being a first generation grad student. Schools from as far away as New York and Australia were represented at the fair. "Australian universities offer many of the same programs as U.S. schools," said Eddy Dharmadji of Macquarie University near Sydney. "And of course, there isfinancialaid available." Despite the inclement weather, more than half of the 65 schools expected to attend were present.

Bush and Senator John Kerry put forward their positions on Social Security, immigration, minimum wage law and the war in Iraq at the final presidential debate. While watching the candidates, the student panelists, Democrats and Republicans alike, jotted down notes to prepare themselves for the discussion that followed. A student panel consisting of three Bush supporters (Nick Bonomi, Stephen Puetz and Matthew Curren) as well as three panelists who supported Kerry (Didi Lund, Dustin Lacasse and John Baden) talked about key issues regarding the presidential election. Dr. Scott Greenwood, a professor of political science on campus, acted as moderator of the panel. Each member was allocated four minutes to share their reaction to the debate, their favorite debate moments as well as key issues that they felt were absent from the candidates' statements. "The only time President Bush mentioned women in his speech, it was in reference to their reproductive organs," s^id Lund, president of the Women's Studies Student Association Didi Lund. Lund raised other key women's issues that she felt were overlooked in the debate. "When you look at the debate, John Kerry's policies are very appealing," said Bonomi, executive director of College Republicans. Bonomi also shared his personal experiences watching Kerry campaign in person months before and pointed out what he saw as a change in the senators' stance on key issues. He went on to say that some of Kerry's actual proposals were "180 degrees opposite" of what he stated in the debate. After the panelists made their statements, Greenwood opened the floor for questions from the audience. Issues such as abortion, gay marriage, and separation of church and state were brought up by students and panel members responded to the audience questions. "If the reason for denying gay people the right to get married is to protect the sanctity of marriage, then why don't we have a limit on the number of divorces a person can have?" said Baden, president of the University Foreign Aid Organization, in response to a question from an audience member regarding President Bush's proposal of a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage. The discussion that ensued was indicative of the divided partisan affiliations of the panel members. Despite the partisan wrangling, the ultimate goal of the evening was to give students the chance to actively engage in a dialogue regarding political issues with their peers. EVENT, from page 1 "What started out as a negative situation, really turned into an overwhelmingly positive experience" said Yamout about the attempted cancellation of the event. "I've been at Cal State San Marcos for almost four years now and I'll tell you I've never seen the students more excited and more invigorated by any issue ever. Conservatives, liberals everybody in between has been so riled up the past few weeks, and it's been inspiring to me, and it's been inspiring to the community." Yamout thanked donors Herring Broadcasting and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fernandez for their financial contributions, then let Moore take the stage. "I know it's been a rough road for the students," said Moore. "The whole thing was set up and because of pressure on the administration (of CSUSM) our right to speak and your right to listen was taken from us." Moore remarked how the original plan was for a small event of 1200-1500 people. Crediting what he called the "Republican, conservative attitude of trying to prohibit free speech in San Diego County," the event grew almost ten times. "I think we need to do something else here so that the administration of Cal State San Marcos never ever even thinks of doing this again to any speaker of any political party," said Moore. Moore announced that the proceeds of the event would go toward a scholarship/grant program at Cal State San Marcos. "Each year for the next four years we will hand out a $5,000 grant or scholarship to the one student who has fought and stood up the most to the administration of Cal State San Marcos," said Moore. Moore said that students Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride should nominate other Joan Baez and Tom Morello. Morello took the stage and rallied the crowd students for the scholarship/grant by submitting a one page essay about "just how much with statements in favor of peace, human hell this one student raised, and how suc- rights, workers' rights and women's rights. Morello also sang a song called "House cessful they were."

"Michael Moore is picking slackers because they are not going to be the ones who educate themselves." The motorists in the area were just as divided as the protesters and the Moore supporters. Horns honked frequently in support while other cars held up signs supporting Kerry or middle fingers. When people yelled at the protestors, several would respond with "Bush hater!" One woman motorist at a red light was clearly unhappy with the protest. She stuck her arm out the window and displayed her middle finger to the protestors. As the woman waited for the light, she sat there with herfingerup glaring at the protestors. When a protestor in the crosswalk approached her car, she put her car in reverse, and drove right at him. The man quickly jumped out of the way and was not harmed. mw m Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Michael Moore protesters rally outside of the Del Mar Fairgrounds Unusually long traffic lights made for a lengthy wait at the crosswalks, forcing those who parked off site to deal with the protestors. This gave both sides a chance to voice their opinions face to face. At times things became heated but never amounted to any- thing more than angry words. "I felt a little uncomfortable, it was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," said CSUSM senior DanaEricson.

Snake skins, mock-croc, tweed, cropped jackets, sweaters, f urs, brooches and gold are everywhere. Mixing and matching is also key to your look. This season's jackets and skirts are all interchangeable. Break up a suit and add a distinctive brooch to the collar or tie a sash around your waist. Snatch an "it b ag" and your pumps and you will b e set with your outfit. The number one accessory this season is the brooch. This item is an essential one.

Metallic bags especially gold are also the hot item of this season. Now with your bag, you need the perfect pumps to match. The best pump will be anything sweet and chic. Pumps adorned with a prim bow, embellished with f ur, snake skin or bejeweled with a brooch are all sizzling attributes to your fabulous shoes. Jackets are an important item for fall's chilly weather. Be sure to pick the right ones. Your jacket should be elegant tweed, one with showy sequins or trimmed with f ur. Fur is in but don't worry you don't have to kill a bunny to snatch the look. Faux far works great as well. Remember, these jackets are versatile; pair the jacket up with a matching skirt, jeans, over a sexy frock or with cropped pants. Let the special piece (your jacket) stand out by keeping the accessories simple in this case. As for men, this year's fall fashion is sporty yet classy and old school yet fresh. Vintage inspired items f rom the 70's are back again with a whole new twist. Down vests have been spotted as the new trend. These vests can be worn over button down shirts and jackets. They keep you warm and are comfortable as well. These down vests are hip in any color: bright orange, green, yellow, basic black, brown or khaki will all do. Argyle sweaters are an essential for men. The diamonds are everywhere; they are on crewnecks, cardigans and sweater vests. Layering one of these is the biggest style this season. Pinstriped pants are also the " it" look. These pants are perfect for casual or formal occasions. Don't be afraid to pair up the pin-stripe pants with f unky striped shirts and argyle sweaters. Navy and gray, gray and brown, or brown and orange are all worthy color combinations when it comes to pinstriped pants. This fall's fashion for men and women is all about mixing and matching.

While these are definitely not adequate deterrents in life, they can still be classified as challenges, can't they? Academically speaking, numbers are my kryptonite. The bright-eyed spitfire I typically can be will suddenly morph into a sweating, babbling mess as I struggle to carry an invisible number that doesn't even go there. Though, I did meet that challenge and pass college math, never to return to it again. I've been a mediocre student all of my life. I never minded this fact nor did I envy the students who did the whole "inquisitive youngster" routine. A fter all, I was busy trying to pry the remote control out of my brother's hand. And while the overachieving science students got ribbons for watching a potato grow sprouts, I wrote love poems to various crushes, made f un of teachers with chalk on their bums, and practiced my Oscar acceptance speech in the bathroom mirror. I never made honor roll, and it's been decided that I shan't make the Dean's list. Upon this revelation, I made myself comfortable. For it was here, in this middle of nowhere as a student, that I would become perfect. It's here, in the plush cushioning of mediocrity, where I will strive. Perhaps "striving" for a C sounds ludicrous, and it is. That's because I don't mean to strive for a C. My aim is to idle towards one; meander about the university, and let a C attach itself to my student body. Jenny Foster, a communications major, says that her parents think she's an excellent student. When I asked her if she really was, she looked at me as if I was a giant talking shoe. "No way" she said. Although Jenny says she's not the greatest of students, she is in fact graduating this year. My pool of mediocrity is getting crowded. There are those students, however, that were most likely the potato sprout watchers. Over the summer, I took Spanish 201 with a liberal arts major. During a test, she began to hyperventilate, claw at her face and desk, whimper and finally vomit a little bit in her mouth. Afterwards, when I asked her why, she simply said, " I am an A student. I'm just not good at Spanish. I have to pass." The sunshine that I chose to dispense? "Dude, all you need is a C !" A fter which I extended my right hand for the underachiever hi-five. You see if and when I decide to go to class, I sit in the back. I eat my banana, and I am the first to ask one of three key phrases that epitomizes the mediocrity of my studiousness: "Is there anything due?" "What did we do?" and "Is there anything new?" These are imperative questions to ensure that my position as a perfect mediocre student will not change. Right down the middle, kids. I'm not saying college is easy, or that it should be, mind you. What I am saying is that although I should, I simply do not apply myself. I do indeed have potential for straight A's, but meeting my potential for straight A's, why, that's a challenge, isn't it? If I go and do that, it would blow my perfecting mediocrity theory. I would then be excelling at academics and the bar would be raised. I'd meet that, and then the Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride C hrissy Baldwin, A & E editor for The Pride, takes a break from her normal study habits to follow Michelle's advice. bar would rise yet again. Before you know it, I'd be in the Olympics or the next Bobby Fisher, playing chess and showing off my great big brain. No thank you, I've got my special skill. Since floating, coasting, or gliding through college can be a skill if done correctly, the challenge of teetering just right, between the "real" world and the college life is like an art. I'm almost a geisha.

It seems that everyone who hopes to influence your vote is a millionaire; some of them just look more the part than others. wants you to believe that focusing on terrorism is fear-mongering on the part of the right, but that denies the ongoing impact of 9/11 on our lives; I'm not afraid of being killed by a terrorist, but I am concerned about what will happen to our nation if al-Qaida is successful again. Like it or not capitalism depends entirely on people making and spending money. So if nobody's making money because we stop taking vacations, buying new cars, getting raises, going to the movies, investing in infrastructure, and the zillion other capitalist activities that slowed or stopped because of 9/11, then America fails to thrive, and that means fewer of those wonderful entitlement programs my left-leaning comrades are so fond of, less aid to other countries, and so on. It's a downward spiral we can't afford to see repeated any time soon. So weigh your facts. Get informed. Listen to what everybody has to say. Read between the lines. But don't let anybody make your choices for you; you wouldn't want me or Michael Moore or your professors telling you what to eat, so b e as fiercely independent about how you're going to vote.

But, the payments of chafe and malnutrition will be worth the discomfort If this paper stops playing with t he Moore issue like a pubescent boy plays with his,..column. Coming off the 'Letters to t he Editor' last week was a kindred spirit of cynicism, accusation, and Pride criticism. Carmelino C ruz wrote, "For the last weeks it seems that ail you [the Pride] write about is Michael Moore." Then adds, "I want to know who makes the decision on what t o write." Well Carmelino, let's prick and pry t he Pride. Shall we? On Tuesday nights t he collection of writers we call staffers, get together with t he heads-incharge (editors) and stories are divvied out amongst the crowd. Most are suggested by the heads, but writers are encouraged to toss up a couple of cookies as w ell Writers volunteer for the choices offered, or succumb to the pleas of the editors. And if that doesn't work, they loop B arry' Manilow's 'Mandy* till t he writers cry "Uncle!"

Which is why I don't look a damn thing like my mug. -WHISPER MODE - ON: T m actually a n obnoxious, tall, blonde dude, with a Vanilla Ice haircut, who doesn't smoke.' WHISPER MODE - OFF. Now, you should know kindred spirits of cynicism, that our writers are not paid for their troubles; they have jobs and classes to attend, and some even claim to have families. If that weren't enough, the time budget they're usually given for the stories is two, maybe three days. My colon takes longer to pass an apple. So for all my harsh wit on their articles, I always stand i n amazement that our staffers get their no-wage j obs done at all, (Don't tell 'em I said that.) While on the subject of harsh wit, our Mr, Milo w as lambasted by Mr. Bryan Watkins for his article on the d raft b ill But before you get his words, you get mine. I don't know who did the description under the front-page picture of f uture Devil-Dogs taking the oath, but a Rear Admiral wears a Squid's uniform, less things have changed since I was in. Also, please be sure my past fellow E-Club drinking buddies have their service spelt Corps, not Core. I think going through the hardest of boots and volunteering to be a "bullet-dodger" deserves at least a proper spell check. If that's not incentive enough, keep in mind these few and proud are trained to shoot and 'blow *@#$ u p/ J ust an observation. Now, onto Mr. Watkins' words. Bryan writes, "This article is riddled with misinformation that if taken for face value can undermine the legislative process as well as confuse the students of California State University San M arcos/' Well, I'd hate to think the Pride might "confuse the students," and we definitely don't want the Pride to "undermine the legislative pro- cess," Whatever shall we do? I comply with Mr. Watkins final point in his letter, " I strongly urge you to research your facts before printing t hem" To say the least, duh! On h is point about the confusion and undermining that might take place, I think both Mr, Watkins' letter and Mr. Milo's article share the same probs. There seems to b e a hint of ' false dilemma' and an itty-bitty bit of assumptions phrased as facts. Having read Mr. Milo's article, I realized that " Draft legislation alive in senate" was as misleading a header, as 'athletic build' tends to be in Personals. By the conclusion of the article my worries concerning a draft were put to rest by all the quotes that suggested otherwise. I get the same catharsis, when I get to the ass-end of TV news and find that the 'thing I don't know that might kill me,' has the same odds as m y winning an argument with my better half. I agree the use of such sensationalistic journalism leaves a NutraSweet taste on my palette. The Pride should avoid those 'read this or s uffer' headers. On the other hand, I doubt anyone would have read ' Draft legislation a possible, maybe, not really, well sorta something they're not really thinking about in senate.' Mr. Milo did start his article o ff with all the icing, but after chewing upon it, I discovered it was a fruitcake. Same goes for Mr. Watkins. " Confuse the students," and "undermine the legislative process" are empty calories to swallow. As for facts, the d raft bill is a dead horse, and Ms. Milo (the addressee of Mr. Watkins' letter) pees standing up. Actually, I 'm assuming the p ee thing. But if my facts are wrong, 'Ms. Milo' should consider work as a bearded lady. A nd that concludes this f un filled lambaste upon lambasting. Don't forget to vote if you're able. There it is.

Dropping off the kids Bathroom manners do count BY POLLY CHAROENKWANCHAI Pride Staff Writer Have you ever "dropped off the kids?" Or made a "deposit to the b ank?" Have you built any log cabins lately? Perhaps you aren't well versed in bathroom euphemisms, but these events usually occur because of bad Chinese food or an unwise choice to have ice cream and Cheetos for lunch. Whatever the case may be, people like me usually find it difficult to use public bathrooms. I am an occasional germaphobe with performance anxiety. (Note to self: Must sanitize hands with anti-bacterial soap a fter using the computer lab.) Due to my heightened fear of dirt and all things dirty, I take the necessary precautions to ensure that my adventures in the public restrooms are as clean and safe as possible. Yes, I admit it: I triple seat for maximum coverage. I am confident with the idea that no germs are penetrating through the fortress of seat covers so that I am allowed to do my duty (no pun intended) with peace of mind. I do provide one warning when dealing with multiple covers: It takes more than one flush to get those suckers down. This might cause your fellow bathroom enthusiasts to wonder why you've flushed so many times and what you ate to create such a flurry of flushes. The automatic toilets we have on campus are terrific for people like me, if they only served to work when we needed them to. For instance, it is unpleasant to be the victim of a "drive-by flushing." This type of crime i s committed when the bathroom patron is not quite done with business, but becomes momen- I am confident with the idea that no germs are penetrating through the fortress of seat covers tarily disrupted by automatic and unwanted flushing. There is also the "delayed flushing" which occurs when the patron waits for 10 seconds or more before the toilet realizes that it must now dispose its contents. I suggest people use this time to reflect. These events must not be misconstrued with the "random flushing." This happens when there are many people in the restroom (perhaps people who will recognize you later in the day). As the name suggests, many people produce a random and spontaneous flush in order to distract other people from any turbulent sounds coming f rom your direction. This is detectable when the number of flushes being produced is higher than the amount of people in the bathroom. Lastly, there is the "conditional flushing." This takes the most amount of mental commitment and is not recommended for emergency situations. The conditional flushes are based on the experiments of Pavlov and his salivating dogs. It requires that you do your business in sync with other flushing toilets as to mask the thunderous noise you have produced. This move takes careful planning and coordination by listening for the sound of people entering the restroom as well as timing your "main event." These techniques apply under the assumption that y our "kids" are going to be loud, if you catch what I mean. They also imply that you are suffering f rom stage fright. For people who are hounded by this everyday dilemma, I suggest that you: 1. Change your diet 2. Learn which bathrooms carry the least traffic flow (hint: there's one that's virtually unused in the ACD building) 3. Accept that Mother Nature is a loud force of wind (last of the puns) that's just meant to be heard. If all else fails, just prairie-dog it. �10 Tuesday, October 19 2004 O Pi lI lNI V /O i lN Il V/l T HE PRIDE Dear Editor, I 'm writing this letter to let my fellow students know about a bad experience I had at a College Republicans/ Progressive Activists Network screening of the last presidential debate. After the debate a pre-chosen panel of six student speakers from both sides (republicans and democrats/liberals) were allowed four minutes each to speak about what they thought about the performance of their particular candidate. As each student took his/ her turn, one republican mentioned that he was disappointed that the audience turn out wasn't as good as they had hoped. There were about 20 students in the audience and many were friends or club members of the student panel. After all of the panel members finished their time to speak, the discussion was opened to the audience. After the first topic was ended, I brought up a topic that is very important to me. I directed my question to the republican panel members. As I was exchanging ideas with one panel member, another member was huffing and puffing, shaking his head in disagreement, and even decided to laugh at me while I was talking. He then took the microphone and began voicing his ideas. As the discussion continued, I mentioned reading some information from a book required for my Mass Media and Society class with Professor FrediAvalos. This panel member arrogantly stated that the book was written by communist and that it should be ignored. After he mentioned that, his College Republican friends began attacking the book also. The republicans then began attacking my ideas in a four-on-one fashion. I had also mentioned that the arrogant panel member should tell Professor Avalos that the book was written by communist and he arrogantly replied that he would tell her. One of his republican friends had also mentioned that the book had no references, which is completely false (I will be glad to provide the book information to anyone interested). After a few more minutes of republicans against me, the mediator inteijected and stated that we should not discuss one issue for too long and also corrected the arrogant panel member as he made false accusations during his speaking on the issue. It turns out that he didn't know as much about the topic as he thought he did! I was so surprised that my thoughts and ideas on that topic were treated so aggressively. I always assumed that in a democracy it is vital to exchange ideas in a respectful manner. In order to understand the issues we must hear both sides and it seems to me that the republicans are only interested in their side. How an arrogant, self righteous student was chosen for a panel is beyond me. Not to mention that I am sure that I will never attend any forums by these groups ever again. I think that the reason so few students attend these meetings might be because of the undemocratic environment and I will be sure to recommend NOT going to these forums for that reason. I would like to say that the other panel members did a good job and did treat me with respect. But it only takes a few to ruin the fun. I am in no way angry at anyone for not agreeing with me. It's when people begin talking down to me that the problem arises. So students beware, if you don't agree with the norm at one of these functions, you may be in for a "republicans vs. you" battle?! Claude Sayf Senior, Communications Major Letter to the Editor: This week students will vote on a referendum concerning the Early Learning Center (ELC), the childcare facility owned by our student government (ASI). So far, the ASI has supplied one-sided information for funding concerning the issue. Student leaders have not presented their constituents with the data necessary for making sound decisions on this important issue. We see posters hanging prominently in ASI office windows and prominent displays occupying the center tables at the Dome with sales pitches for funding the center. Why don't student government leaders present honest information? Over the years, the student body has subsidized the ELC with losses totaling about a million dollars (Student leaders have never released exact figures). Now we're being asked to increase our student fees by $10 to make up for projected shortages. That adds up to over $140,000 annually. The ASI's and The Pride both championed Michael Moore's recent appearance as a victory of free speech. But Moore's message was more than just to speak freely—it was to question that which doesn't make sense. Yet The Pride ran a story stating that the ELC would make 97 % of its costs through sources other than student fees. What is the ELC's total operating budget if the student body's $140,000 is only 3% of its funding? I am not arguing against childcare, I am arguing against our student government representatives' failure to keep their constituents informed. The 48 students who benefit from subsidized childcare every semester are certainly deserving, but their fellow students are just as deserving and at the very least, we deserve the right to be properly informed about voting issues. It's conceivable that one of us might come up with an alternative to the ASI's current all or nothing proposal. Steve Compian Graduate Student Dear Editor, I 'm sure you all know but in case you don't October 18th-21st are the dates for the voting for the Childcare Services Fee Referendum to keep the Early Learning Center open. The Early Learning Center is CSUSM's answer for childcare for student parents. I know there are many of you out there who would like to vote no because you don't want to pay for something you are not going to use. I understand that, however many of us pay for fees here we don't use, books we don't read, a parking structure we will never see. This ten dollars is at least going to a humanitarian cause: the education of children. The Early Learning Center enables many parents the ability to continue their education to provide a better life for their children, provides childcare to CSUSM faculty & the community, as well as provides internships, employment opportunities and more. It is a wonderful program. As you could guess, I am a student parent; my daughter Madison age three has attended the "school" as she calls it, for a little over a year and she loves it. In that time, she has become potty trained, learned to ride a tricycle, can count to twenty, is recognizing numbers, is learning to write her name, and is learning valuable social skills. She would have met these milestones eventually but I know that they have been met sooner and with more understanding with the love and support of the ELC staff behind her. I really hope students realize that this is not about ten more little dollars (it's only two or three Starbucks©), but it's about the big picture and as^cheesy as it sounds, children are our future. The children who attend the center might be only between the ages of 2 and 5 but they still care about their school. If the vote doesn't pass the ELC will be forced to close its doors. How awful would that be for this to be these children's first educational experience; a school they have been so comfortable in and have grown to love being closed because CSUSM couldn't fit it in their budget. Please do the right thing for these children, please protect their school, please protect their teacher's jobs, please vote yes and encourage others to do so. Natasha Walls Liberal Studies Major �M O S D e f : The New Danger BY JASON ENCABO "TheNew Danger" Pride Staff Writer is now among u s and Mos Def is most definitely bringing something new t o the table. Maintaining his success as a rapper/actor, Mos Def has been featured in numerous films ("Italian Job"), music videos (Alicia Keys — "You Don't Know My Name") and of course songs (Kanye West - "Two Words"), leaving fans without a solo album since his 2002 release of "Black On Both Sides." Mos Def now re-enters the hip hop scene with a highly anticipated new album. Throughout "The New Danger," Mos Def experiments with a mixture of elements of rock, soul and certainly hip hop. He combines these elements to deliver the tradi- What Ü tional Mos Def style, along with a new sense of maturity. He often breaks the conventional pattern of verses and choruses placed throughout a song and formulates a songstructure of his own. I had trouble determining if some songs were actually songs, or if they were j ust long instrumentals or interludes. But after listening to the album in its entirety, I couldn't help but love it. "The New Danger" provides a very diverse assortment of songs, satisfying listeners of many genres. This album also thoroughly addresses the live aspect of music, bringing together a sound resembling artists like The Roots and Rage Against The Machine, all while maintaining the true sound of hip hop. Mos Def produced the album with help f rom Kanye West and several others to resemble various styles of music. "The New Danger" is for the open-minded, I definitely recommend it. if I'm I rib u k v v » 3pm~9pm ISDN BILLY WATSON CBittes/Kockabilly) 1IH24I H I 1 / 9 ISUN M 02 S AN D IEGO O. A .

The South Park guys, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, bring us another sterling piece of social satire, this time cloaked in vomit. "Team America: World Police" is not for the faint of heart (or mind), but is for anyone interested in broadening their world view beyond that of "socialist weasel" Michael Moore (hey, I'm just quoting the film here, don't get your thong in a bunch and start firing off emails to the ombudsman). But more to the point, this film is for anyone who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting, gratuitous violence by puppets on puppets, puppets speaking fake Arabic that sounds like your 8year old nephew talking gibberish and a puppet sex scene that will send you rolling in the aisle (while peeing your pants) if you ever participated in that quintessentially American childhood experience of manipulating Barbie and G. I. Joe to make sweet sweet love. "Team America: World Police" is about a super-patriotic, elite group of American crime-fight- Photos courtesy of Paramount Pictures ers who chase down and wipe out terrorists all over the globe. Parker and Stone's political leaning should be apparent from their treatment of Moore and Film Actors Guild members Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, et al., (just in case you missed Parker and Stone's 2001 sitcom "That's My Bush!"), but as usual they don't let our side of the aisle off the hook, either: Team America goes after it's objectives without a twinge of remorse over collateral damage (though trust me, you'll be laughing at that, too), and the voice of I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. - a supercomputer that provides the team its information - is provided by none other than multiple-personality radio comedian Phil Hendrie (KFI-AM 640, weeknights 7-10 p.m., if you're not in oirthe joke, you're part of it, so listen in sometime). The choice to use puppets is brilliant: you can do things with a puppet (or more properly, a marionette) that just wouldn't work with the flat paper characters of South Park (though in an odd twist of fate, the puppets can't seem to walk any better This film is for anyone who pees their pants at watching gratuitous puppet vomiting than Kyle or Stan). If you forced me to find fault with this genius piece of work, I would probably pick on the soundtrack: I played the "South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut" soundtrack in my car for at least a year after that film debuted, and my friends and I still break out in a nice rendition of "Uncle F**ka," "Kyle's Mom's a B**ch," or "It's Easy, MMMkay" every now and then. Theatergoers left this film singing the anthem "America, F**k Yeah," and the soundtrack definitely works, but "Team America: World Police" no musical (and I loves a good musical). Parker and Stone have said they aren't out to influence the election, but I still think you should run don't walk to your local Cineplex and see this film before you vote (just be sure to check your sensitivity and political correctness at the door). After all we are what we are. God bless America. F**k yeah! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Left: Teacher Janet Hastert instructs the children. Below: The children enjoy a mid-afternoon snack. The Early Learning Center (ELC) will continue to offer services to students, staff, faculty, and the community after 464 students voted in favor to keep the center open. A total of 565 students voted in last week's referendum, the ELC passed received 82 percent of the vote on Thursday, October 21. The referendum ensures that the ELC will get student funding to remain in business. In the past, ASI has provided the means to keep the facility operating, but budget cuts for ASI resulted in the necessity of student contributions to keep the facility open. Students who voted online from October 18-21 decided that an additional $10 should be added to enrollment fees tofinancethe ELC. According to Roy Lee, ASI VP of Communications, the annual budget for the ELC is about $300,000. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the collection from students will total ^bout $144,000, and the fees for the parents of the children attending the ELC will pay the remaining $156,000 of thè budget. "Essentially, the ELC will be running itself," See ELC, page 2 Campus debates ballot propositions BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer More than 100 students gathered in the Clarke Field house on Thursday, October 21 to watch and engage in a debate addressing four of the ballot propositions up for consideration on November 2. The four propositions discussed were state Propositions 66, 70,71, and local Proposition B. There were eight panelists, one for both sides of each issue. Panelists consisted of CSUSM students, professors, and members of the community. President Haynes, ASI, and the Academic Senate sponsored the event. Students enjoyed the free food that was provided during the debate, but many began to leave for classes as the event continued. By the end of the event there were only about 20 people who remained in attendance. The first debate was over state Proposition 66. Proposition 66 would amend the California Three Strikes Initiative that was passed by voters in 1994. Professor Valerie Callahan argued in favor of the proposition. Callahan urged voters to approve the changes to the Three Strikes Statute contained in Prop. 66.

Approximately 170 people gathered in Academic Hall room 102 on Wednesday, October 20 to celebrate the construction of the business building set to open in the spring 2006. "This is an exciting event. A milestone has been reached and it's time to celebrate," said Cal State San Marcos President Karen Haynes. After listening to speeches by University President Karen Haynes, Dean of the College of Business, Dennis Guseman, and others who made the building possible, attendees had the opportunity to sign a steel beam that will be placed in the building. At the event it was announced that a yet-to-be-named donor came forward with 5 million dollars to name the building, which is the largest gift received by CSUSM for a single project. The name of the building is set to be announced this week. Photos by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Above: Event participants s ign the ceremonial beam. Below: The staff of C oBA s igns the beam.

The ELC is not only a childcare center and a place for children to begin learning basic lessons at an early age, it is also a place that employs students and provides internship opportunities. "We are an essential service for students, students utilize the center that are not student parents," said Mosetta RodriguesCoppedge, site supervisor of the ELC. "The majority of the children here are children of CSUSM students." Hilary Gross-Richmond, a senior at CSUSM, is fulfilling her internship requirement at the ELC by helping the preschool class three days a week. GrossRichmond feels that the passing of the referendum is "a wonderful thing." "It's the reward of knowing that once you have taught them something or read them a story, they appreciate it and come back for more. It's the reward of their smile," said Gross-Richmond describing her favorite part about working with the children at the ELC. Currently, the state of California does not require that children attend preschool before enrolling in Kindergarten, but many Kindergarten programs expect children to have a basic understanding of letters and numbers before ' "V , ^ ' J -'I The Pride is published weekly on Tuesdays during the academic year, Distribution includes all of CSUSM campus, local eateries and other San Marcos community establish meats.

J ack! 8 58-565-2144 �NEWS THE PRIDE DEBATE, from page 1 campus BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer Last week Students took little notice of For Him Magazine's visit to campus as rain filled the sky. For Him Magazine (FHM) set up a booth in front of the Kellogg Library with video games and promotional giveaways on Tuesday, October 19. At 8:00 p.m. in Arts 240, Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and FHM sponsored the appearance of comedian Christian Finnegan. Finaegan cracked up the small audience that attended the show. The comic captured the audience's attention by almost "tea bagging" them. Next he moved on to relationship philosophy. "Relationships are like yard sales, they look really f un from 100 feet away, but when you get close you realize it's a bunch of shit you don't need," joked Finnegan Finnegan cracked jokes for the rest of the hour long show on everything from his "fat-tax" to the Olympics to the upcoming election. The audience seemed to enjoy Finnegan's wit and slightly twisted sense of humor. "It was tight! More people should have come, they missed out," said student Angela Jenkins Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Christian Finnegan performs. People at the event speculated as to why only 24 people showed up for the comedy performance. Most explanations for lack of attendance focused around the weather. "It sucks it was on a Tuesday, let alone a rainy Tuesday," said Eric Groset, director of social programming for ASI. Angela Jenkins thought the small audience was partially due to the lack of publicity for this event. "I just heard about it today, I picked up aflyerbut it didn't have a date on it," said Jenkins. When all was said and done those that attended the show left with a smile on their faces and sore sides. Christian Finnegan left San Marcos with sore legs and a smile as well. "There's lots of stairs. That's brutal, it's brutal here, but it's been great. I hope I can come back at a later date when it's sunny," said Finnegan. Christian Finnegan can be seen every Friday at 11:00 p.m. on VHl's new series Best Week Ever as well as in his occasional appearances on the Chappelle Show on Comedy Central. lent," said Callahan about the proposition. She stated that Proposition 66 would narrow the definition of serious or violent crimes to exclude petty crimes such as burglary or attempted burglary. Callahan said because of the three strikes law California has the "highest prisoner population in the nation." CSUSM student Stephen Keller, argued against Proposition 66. "It punishes people with no respect for the law," said Keller about current three strikes law. Keller said that the current law doesn't need to be changed and is "riot targeting petty crimes." The second debate addressed state Proposition 70. Proposition 70 would enact a tax of 8.84 percent on the net revenue of gaming. Community member David Lent argued in favor of the proposition. "It's time the tribes stepped up to the plate," said Lent. Lent urged voters to vote "yes" on Proposition 70 because, "it would bring two billion dollars to the table for all of California." Community member and Native American, David Whitehorse argued against Proposition 70. "It creates a 99-year monopoly," said Whitehorse about Proposition 70. He said that Proposition 70 "does not bring sovereignty or a fair share," for Make Your Voice Heard: Vote Need encouragement?

Proposition 71 would provide state funding for stem cell research. Dayleen Coleman, a human development major, argued in favor of the proposition. "Stem cell research is the best chance to cure many different diseases. The new cures could affect up to 100 million people," said Coleman. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi argued against Proposition 71. "Those who are going to vote for religious reasons are going to vote against Proposition 71," said Bonomi. Asking voters not to approve the measure because of its' cost to taxpayers. Bonomi said, "Prop 71 costs three billion dollars, plus three billion dollars in interest." The last debate was over local Proposition B. Proposition B would reverse a previous proposition that approved the Gregory Canyon Landfill. CSUSM student, Didi Lund, argued in favor of the proposition. "The garbage dump is not needed," said Lund. Stressing environmental protection as a reason the Proposition should pass. Lund said, "The garbage dump threatens the San Luis Rey river. It could be polluted." Political consultant Jennifer Tierney argued against Proposition B. "Landfills are needed," said Tierney asking voters to deny the proposition. Tierney said, "Voting 'No' does not necessarily mean that it will be built. It insures that it will go through the process." CLASSIFIEDS E GG D ONORS N EEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"There's a saying, 'Savoir Vivre' often used in the United States," Anover said. "It is the art of knowing how to enjoy life, to eat a good meal, to enjoy a vacation. One should enjoy life more than so than simply working." Yet, living in the United States has made it a little more difficult trying to balance both American and European lifestyles. Anover, who was born in France, has spent many years traveling between both France and Spain attending school as well as visiting family. "I am as much French as I am Spanish," Anover said. If her family was in France, summer vacations were spent in Spain, and vice versa. Life was a bit more collective where the government provided state funded health benefits as well as six-weeks of paid vacation for teachers. Yet, her love for languages drew her to the United States 14 years ago as she participated in a non-native speaker of Mekenye - Associate Professor of History Department Country: Kenya English program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. If anything however, she misses her personal time. "Workaholic is an American word," Anover said. According to Anover, the lifestyle in which Americans live in does not allow for vacation time. "It's not that we [Americans] don't want to have a vacation, but it's just that the way society is, the priorities are different." As the French Club's advisor, as well as Associate Professor and Faculty Advisor for French, Anover shares these words of advice to those who share a bicultural experience: Try your best to integrate into the society that you're embracing without losing yourself, your roots. "Life here can be very brutal, a high stress society as compared to a more relaxed way of life in Kenya," said Reuben Mekenye, history professor. Having been born and raised in Kenya, Mekenye spent many years on the countryside tending to livestock and cultivating corn, coffee, tea leaves, etc until he moved to the city to attend college. As a diligent college student, Mekenye was expelled for his activities as a student leader tackling various issues such as national issues to issuing statements on behalf of the student community during Kenya's political turmoil. By that time, he had processed his papers in Lesotho and was admitted to both Canada and the United States after a year. In 1988, he arrived in San Diego as a refugee through the sponsorship of a Catholic church. In a state of culture shock, Mekenye had difficulty interacting with people and finding his way around. Cultural Curners Diverse professors from different ends of _____ the spectrum "You shake hands in Africa," Mekenye said, as he noted that in the United States greetings are very short and informal. It is customary to have a conversation rather than a simple hello. After a short six month stay, he was awarded a scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, which required much adjustment considering the frigid climate. He longed for the Southern California climate and was later accepted to the University of California, Los Angeles, where he happily returned to a warmer climate. He grew very fond of the education system as it was more democratic, unlike the authoritarian practices of Kenya. "Tests were public exams given by strangers. We all took it at once," Mekenye said. After many years, Reuben Mekenye still retains what he considers conservative practices of Kenya such as having respect for the elders. "Listen first, do more listening then talking," Mekenye said. "It is expected that the elders are to command more knowledge." With his vast sense of knowledge, he shares, "Be open-minded. Don't forget where you come from. Your values, you need to treasure them to keep your background and those values will serve you well."

Being an All American golfer doesn't come easy, she practices with "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7,"saidFrench. her team five times a week, attends yoga twice a week, and weight trains once a week. "Playing everyday really makes an improvement," said French. "I eat, sleep, and think about golf 24/7." French has been golfing for ten years. Her whole family plays golf, so it was easy for her to fall in love with the sport. She has dreams of playing in the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) like her idol and former babysitter Leta Lindley, and will try for her pro-card when she's finished with college. "I wouldn't be doing it, if I didn't love it," French said. "I love golfing in college because as an individual you can succeed, but at the same time you help your team." French's commitment to golf has paid off. She placed in the top 15 and earned an All-American title at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) tournament last year as a freshman. It is early in the season, but French said she expects "to improve every year" so golf fans can expect great things from her this year. As for the rest of the team, "They are a young team made up of mostly freshman and sophomores and although they are doing great this year, the team will strengthen and improve in the years to come," French said. Golf is a spring and fall sport, unlike other college sports which usually only play for one semester. The first tournament of the fall season was the Grand Canyon Tournament at the end of September. The team placed fourth out of forty-five teams and individually French and her teammate Kyle Safford placed in the top five. Golf is one of three intercollegiate sports supported by CSUSM. It is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) 'which is like the NCAA for smaller schools. The golf team has averaged about three tournaments a semester; the last tournament of the fall will take place November 7-9 at Cal Poly SLO.

On top of trying to finish assignments, doing last minute revisions, andfindingparking, deciding on a major is just as stressful. Cal State San Marcos was once limited on the number of majors offered, but as a growing university, more and more majors are finding their way to our campus. This semester a new major is in the process of becoming official; physical education and kinesiology, the study of the anatomy, physiology and mechanics of body movement especially in humans. The physical education and kinesiology major is intended to prepare students interested in the single subject teaching credential in physical education. The major is targeted to those who are also interested in pursuing careers in advanced degrees in physical education, kinesiology, exercise science, sports medicine, physical therapy and rehabilitation. Those who are involved and currently taking classes are interested in starting a new club on campus to help build a foun- dation for the major. Andre Tungcab, a current kinesiology student is excited to be in a new major that is fresh and able to grow. "It's a different class where you're able to see how the body works," he said. This semester, there are three official classes that are being offered, Kine 208, a hands-on lab class designed to practice movement in the field house, Kine 300, which studies the biomechanics of human movement, and Kine 301, which studies motor control. "Being in the major as it develops, there are certain advantages and disadvantages," said Tungcab. "An advantage to the program is that the field house has just opened, and kinesiology is a major that is open and able to branch off into a lot of differentfields.The disadvantage is that it's a new program and it's not well known." This semester, there are currently two professors teaching the classes: Todd Astorino and Laura deGhetaldi. Head of the department is advisor Dr. Nichols. "The teachers who are running the program are really positive and encouraging," Tungcab said, "especially with being oneon-one to guiding us in the right direction." There has been a lot of positive feedback from students currently enrolled in these classes. For those interested in sports and activities, or for those who come from a background of sports and share an interest, classes are available and open to all students and staff here on campus. �THE PRIDE Jock Talk With Josh SPORTS Tuesday; October 262004 BY JOSH SANDOVAL Pride Staff Writer I think it's safe to say that the 86-year old curse of the Bambino is finally over for the Boston Red Sox, right? The spirit of the Bambino dealt the Sox a blow in the American League Championship Series by spotting the Yankees three games. Then in game four and five with Mariano Rivera on the mound for the Yankees; the so called best closer in playoff history ends up taking one to the groin on consecutive nights as the Red Sox came back and stole two wins. Then when the series moved back to New York for the final two games no one gave the Sox a shot since after all they were entering the most sacred of baseball stadiums in the frightening atmosphere of the Bronx. However, somehow they were able to put away the Yankees in game six as Curt Schilling's ankle was literally turning his white socks into "red sox" as he was bleeding throughout the whole game due to a loose tendon being stitched to his skin. The following night the Sox put the Yanks away and in doing so they made it to their first World Series since 1986 to face the St. Louis Cardinals who are making their first appearance since 1987. Then in game one of the World Series the Bambino tried to literally trip up the Sox again as Manny Ramirez looked like he was running on ice in leftfieldas he made two errors which lead to the Cards tying the game at nine. But the Bambino's attempt was about as SPECIAL ED TEACHERS & TEACHER'S AIDES ***WeVe Expanded*** Opening 30+ Positions Image courtesy of http://boston.redsox.mlb.com successful as a J-lo marriage when Mark Bellhorn hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to give the Sox the win. The Bambino has been creative in his attempts to send tears throughout Boston for an 86th consecutive season, but he has not been successful yet and do we really want the Bambino to fail? Everyone says they want the Red Sox to win or that they think this is the season for the Sox since they have dodged all those previously mentioned bullets from the Bambino, but deep down I know that no one really thinks the Sox will win. I mean if the Sox win the World Series what will baseball fans have to look forward to next year? It's a tradition that the Sox are supposed to find a new way to implode so even though the Bambino hasn't been successful in his attempts to this point, you just wait because he will make an appearance in this World Series and he won't strike out. Drop me an E-mail at Sando026@csusm. edu to send your praise for when my Red Sox prediction comes through or if by some miracle the Sox win the series you can send your criticism.

You checked the boxes, filled in the blanks, and got it in the mail in time to count yourselves among the elite: students who are registered to vote! By now you're receiving an avalanche of junk mail — 'yes on this,' 'no on that,' 'vote for me' — and somewhere between those slick, four-color, multi-million dollar efforts to influence your vote are the decidedly unslick materials the Secretary of State sends that form the backbone of any informed voter's decision-making process: the Sample Ballot and the Official Voter Information Guide (and it's trusty assistant, the supplement) ~ approximately 260 pages of reading that makes "Hamlet" seem light and frothy in comparison. Don't despair dear voter-to-be, this is not a test; it's voting. Nobody but the most anal retentive, Mensan lawyer actually reads every page, and neither will you. In fact, it's perfectly okay to simply walk into your polling place next Tuesday, get your ballot, and vote only for President of the United States. Other than deciding who you're going to pick (and nothing in the Secretary of State's materials will help you on this one) it's hardly any work at ail. The only reading requirement will be to read the back of your Sample Ballot to see where you're polling place is, and then carefully reading the names under "President of the United States" so you don't pull a Floridian and bubble in the wrong one. Like it or not, the President is not the only thing you can vote for that will have an impact on your future: there's a senator on the ballot this year, an assortment of judges, college and hospital board members (depending on where you live), and we can't forget those wonderful proposi- Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride tions, which often have the potential to take money from you for years to come. My strategy for choosing how I'm going to vote is fairly simple. For the people part of the ballot, I vote for people I know and like (for example Bush, Boxer, and Cunningham in this election), and either women or Republicans in positions I don't know anything about (judges, boards, etc.). On the propositions, I mostly end up analyzing who has signed the arguments for and against, and that usually tells me enough about the proposition to make my choice. The people and groups who sign the proposition arguments all have agendas, so I just look for endorsements by groups whose agendas match mine (e.g. AAA because I like to drive, UCAN because I like to consume, Jarvis Taxpayers because I don't like to pay taxes, and League of Women Voters because they're really smart and analyze everything). I realize that I may be revealing myself to be less informed than my fictitious, anal retentive, T he P assion o f M el G ibson BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Mel Gibson: the man, the artist, the icon. Whatever you want to call him, he has ranked number one on the Forbes annual celebrity power list of 2004. His total earnings are an estimated $210 million, mainly from his controversial film "The Passion of the Christ." First and foremost, I consider Gibson one of the rare true film artists. He deserves to be number one. Not like Britney Spears that ranked number one in the 2002 that can't sing but only sell T&A. Gibson has the talent and the vision to make any film a critically memorable multi-million dollar success. When every mainstream studio and distributor declined to endorse and promote "The Passion of the Christ," he funded the estimated $25 million budget himself and found Newmarket Films to distribute the film on an independent level. He wasn't about to trash twelve years of his research. He obviously has generated a lot of profit for the big studios and it must have been disappointing for him to be shut out in the cold. This is Hollywood's tragic irony. They send you out as sheep amidst the wolves. Having seen the box office results, I'll bet the studio executives are kicking themselves if they haven't done so already. "The Passion of the Christ" grossed $370 million in the United States and a little over $600 million worldwide. It was released on February 25, 2004 and held the number one spot for the weekend gross for three consecutive weekends. It re-entered the number one weekend gross the weekend of Good Friday (April 9). This is a rarity in Hollywood. It is also estimated that the film will earn another $150 million from the DVD sales which will rank him high in the 2005 power list. Gibson has mastered every role he has taken. From the womanizer in "What Women Want," to the suicidal goofball in the "Lethal Weapon" series, to the vengeful thief in "Payback," to the slick gambler in "Maverick," to the faithless widower in "Signs," to the legendary Scottish hero in the brilliant "Braveheart." So it's safe to say he has excelled every genre of film. Not only that, he developed convincing chemistry with every one of his leading ladies and other costars. This opinion wouldn't be complete if I didn't at least briefly critique "The Passion of the Christ." Artistically, Gibson takes the unbiased direction. He's not making the film to serve or satisfy anyone. Is it historically accurate? No one can be the judge of that. Not any religious figure/group or historian. Many fail to realize that fact. With any film based on a true story or event, some facts are purposely excluded and/or changed for entertainment purposes, the reputation of parties' involved, privacy issues, etc. Given "The Passion of the Christ" as well as "Braveheart" as an example, the events were told through many generations and may or may not have been documented accurately. This is a film, not a documentary. So what's going to happen to Gibson now? Every studio will be drooling and fighting over his future projects. Gibson has expressed an interest in making afilmabout the Maccabees and the Jewish faith. He has earned his place in Hollywood history. He has earned his place as number one. In the film "Ransom," he said "Many people acquire their fortune. But not me, I built it, from the ground up and no one is taking it away." This holds true. Mensan lawyer - or any eighth-grader with a demanding civics teacher -- but I figure in doing so I may be helping to free you from the belief that voting is too much work; like college, it's as much work as you choose to put into it. Now nothing, knave voters, is more boring than sitting alone and reading through all this stuff by yourself, so get together with some friends, take an hour or two to go through the ballot, and figure out what choices make sense for you. Mark up your Sample Ballot and take it with you to the polls (you wouldn't leave the answer key at home if you could bring it to the test, would you?) If you make a mistake while voting, don't be embarrassed, just ask for another ballot. Whether you invest the time to figure out all the propositions, or you just want t o cast a vote for president, it's all good. Be as informed as you have time for, and vote! Slicing through the political rhetoric BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Vote! Vote, but don't bother to be informed. That's right, read this article and then forget about reading any more about the elections. Why? The informed voter is a myth. Politicians themselves don't even know the issues. How can we as voters possibly know the issues? Many key issues are either completely unsolvable, or are unsolvable by a normal citizen. Either people just don't know, or in order to know, you'd have to spend half your life researching it. Let's focus on some of the issues of the presidential race as an example. Is the President's plan in Iraq working? Kerry again attacks President Bush by saying in a debate, "I have laid out a different plan because the president's plan is not working." Kerry has senators on his side and Bush has Iraqi officials on his. Both are experts. Who are we supposed to believe if the experts disagree with each other? It's just one person's word against another. Are we supposed to go to Iraq to find out ourselves? Does Kerry have more credibility with other nations than Bush does? Kerry contends that we need a new president with fresh credibility. No foreign nation is going to tell us, . "ft ? P9*. the war, it's your leader" No French or Russian president is going to tell us, "Oh actually I really dislike Bush as a person, that's why we're not helping you." This issue is unsolvable. Even Bush and Kerry cannot know the answer to this question. How are we supposed to vote on it? Fact checking articles such as CNN's Fact Check are sometimes helpful, but usually it makes more of a mess than before. For example, Bush claims that Kerry has voted 98 times to raise taxes. CNN's Fact Check clarifies this by saying, "The number is somewhat inflated because it includes all votes on a given piece of legislation, including procedural votes and votes to end debate." So is 98 a lot or not? Is there any way to find out without having to look up all the different types of procedural votes and sort them out with Kerry's voting record? Just tell me if 98 is a lot or not! Those are just a few of the issues in the presidential election. Not to mention there's congressmen, senators, mayors, city council, many propositions and other issues to research. Usually it just becomes a case of "Who am I going to believe?" Don't be fooled by all that "informed voter" hype. It's just another tactic to get your vote. They want you to be informed about their side of the issue. The more you research an issue, the more you realize that nobody knows the answer. The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, October 26 2004 Byl^SmNOJOLS P ^ Ombudsman By the time you read this puppy, 111 have attended a wedding in Vegas (not mine!), and had oodles of inebriated fun playing 6, 8, and i O the hard way' at the craps table. In the spirit of matrimony and frivolous monetary spending (both somehow connected), I'm gonna take a Prozac-suppository spin on things and speak nothing but happy-la-las on the Pride. Enjoy. Oooh. Ahhh. Yeah. Moore. Qh yeah, Moore! Don't stop! I want Moore! Moore! Moore! I don't think our little paper can get enough of him. And the fact that Moore was repeatedly quoted as trouncing our school's admin, that's great! Let'is all raise hell and collect 50 Benjamins! Oh yeaht And Nick Bonomi! d p on with your bad self! If the College Republi- DEGREE cans were the "Royal Order of Water Buffalo**; he'd be Fred Flintstoae. I love that he gets in this paper more than most of our writers. Do our editors get checks in the mail from Mr. Bonomi? I don't know, but I love him all the same. And that massive front-page picture of Bonomi four papers back.. i have it above my hope chest Phoenix says it best in her article, "Republicans are just too damn attractive!" And the Protest article, how great was that* A protester is almost run over by a motorist?! What an action sequence! I assume the motorist wasn't a Republican. They're kinder, gentler drivers. And the quote just after the attempted murder-by-bumper that read, "I felt a little uncomfortable, if was weird being in the middle of a protest, but everyone was being really nice," Talk about grace under fire. Speaking of grace, have you noticed how sharp the Pride's been looking? J think the Pride's PCs going on the fritz was the best damn thing to occur, Jason Encabo has cleaned this puppy up so well, I can actually see the graphics, pictures, and make out the 'paws' that go with every film review. Plus the ads! Verizon has a full-page ad now! A full page dedicated to "Can you hear me now?" Mo' adds means mo' money! I won't see any of it, but that's cool, we still get a better paper. If we get enough of these ads, we might one day see this paper in Technicolor. Oh, the beauty that goes with pastel skin tones... .. .and pastel clothes. The fell fashion frenzy article was so frickin rad. All those styles from the 70s and 80s are coming back! Bitchin. I get to look like a member of the Brat Pack again.

Which reminds me, how sweet the smell of 4eau de toilette.' I would never have imagined that an article could be written about the pump and dump, but Polly flushed it out with *flying colors.' And how appropriate to place her article under mine. Toilet humor meets the toilet And to load up for the toilet, Chef Dawson feeds the UVA residents. First mold and fire alarms, now food?! I want to live there! Plus I'd be only a hop, skip, and jump from the free counseling at the Student Health Services. After this article, I'll be asked to take advantage of the service for And if I don't make it there, I can feel good that Michelle Robinson says mediocrity is okay Then YU get to eat a banana and pose for the Pride next to our lovely (even when frowning) Chrissy Baldwin. Don't let the fact that she's an editor make you think I'm just saying that to suck up. Hove bananas. And I love Josh. I've made two jabs at him in this grey box, and he came back with a left hook that had me floored. His article on Caminiti's unfortunate passing was one of the sincerest, best damn articles I've read! I asked that you "Make me love you Josh,' and well., .what are you doing Friday? Don't worry, I'm an easy and cheap date, and we can go see "Team America; World Police." Phoenix gave it 5 paws* And whatever Phoenix says, I do. Like I told her, she's the only Republican I love to listen to or read. Don't worry Bonomi, there'll always be a special place for you in my heart. This concludes my happyla-las.

I also want to comment on the "protestors" at Moore's event who, on their signs, encouraged me "not to pay for lies." When their tax dollars are being spent to massacre people and convert Saddam's torture chambers into our own, I don't stand in front of their TV's with posters which claim "Bill O'Reilly is ugly." I was horrified to see that photo of one protestor whose sign read, "Michael Moore is fat." Did he really take a night offfromshooting beer cans THE PRIDE to show up at this event? Oh, is he the forwardthinking political activist who will save me from my ignorance to show the link between George Bush's vision for a peaceful world and Moore's unhealthy BMI? Michael Moore may not use his treadmill, but at least he uses his brain, which is more than can be said for those who swallow everything they're fed from a government who lives in constant fear of the humanitarian enlightenment of its people. In closing, allow me to say: The kind of ignorance which drives people to "protest" my right to question authority when innocent people die is the same ignorance that got innocent people killed on September 11th. The point of education is not answering questions but questioning answers. THINK- it's patriotic.

Maybe the hope he expressed for a speedy end to the war and turning Iraq back over to its citizens that I should be ashamed of. Possibly these negative individuals want me to be ashamed that our president has sold out to the NRA and allowed automatic weapons to be purchased again in our country making the streets less safe for the police and the average citizen. Now THAT I AM ashamed of Congress for allowing. Do the angry individuals want me to be ashamed that: they prefer a duty shirker to a true military hero? Michael Moore expressed true patriotic ideals.

Nicholas J Bonomi Executive Director Dear Editor, While watching the Presidential Debate, I was extremely dismayed at the mention of raising the Federal Minimum Wage by Senator John Kerry. Does Mr. Kerry realize that by raising the minimum wage you do not make living any more affordable for the lower class, but instead make it less affordable not only for them, but the lower portions of the middle class as well? Most middle class employees and small business owners will not earn more because their employers will not be inclined to give them a raise, but the cost of products that they produce and purchase will rise. The costs of products will rise proportionally to the �A &E THE PRIDE What if l7m pregna m ake i nformed, h ealth c onfident c hoices 760.744.11 2 77 S.

It's worth it, trust me. With that being said, let's discuss the music. It doesn't matter whether you like hip hop or not. If you are a fan of music then you should gravitate towards Talib Kweli's latest CD: The Beautiful Struggle. A few months ago the early version of this album ended up on the internet and street cor- ners alike so Kweli went back to the gym, trained harder* and came out with a sure fire first round knockout. On the opening track "Go Hard," Kweli does just that. Rhyming with the tenacity of a starving pit-bull, you can hear the hunger in his voice as he drops more knowledge in one verse than many of his peers will in an entire career: "people ask me how we wearing diamonds/when there's little kids in Sierra Leone CDReview ( losing arms for crying while they're mining". On this offering, Kweli takes listeners on a great journey of knowledge, pain, love, politics, religion, and fun. With assistance from producers, three of which are well known (The Neptunes, Kanye West, Just Blaze), Kweli does something that he has not done before; he simply makes music that has no limitations on it. It's not conscious or underground, it's just music.

I could give you hundreds of reasons why you should go buy this book, but really, all you need to do isfinda copy, flip through it for just a second, and you will be sold immediately. If you cannot find a copy to review and you just don't want to drive to the local bookstore for nothing, stop by The Pride Office at ACD302A sometime and take a look at ours! When you play this album you will be moved by it. Either your soul will move by the spiritual vibes of "Around My Way" or your arms might move when you tell someone to "Back Up Offa Me." On the albums most inspiring and greatest track "I Try", Kweli enlists Mary J. Blige to add the final punch to one of the best songs of the year. I won't spoil the content of the song for you, but trust me, if you don't hear this often come with great risk. Capricorn« (Dec 22Jan 19) Your beliefs will be brought i ntopl^tion soon.

Kweli also takes time to speak to the ladies in a positive and smooth manner (which is uncommon in hip hop these days) on the songs "We Know" features Faith Evans, "Black Girl Pain", and "Never Been In Love". The only problem spots for the BK MC are that the album only clocks in at 53 minutes. Some might feel this is too short but others may feel it's just right because of all the knowledge that is packed into the 13 songs. There are two album filler tracks that could have been replaced. The club themed "A game" and the "Planet Rock" influenced "We Got The Beat" should have been scrapped for collaborations with his Black Star partner Mos Def. Overall there is no struggle within this album. The second word in the title describes what the album is perfectly: beautiful. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Annual Tukwut Powwow cancelled On Thursday November 4, an open forum will be held regarding the CSUSM Police Department's procedures amid recent concerns following the arrest of a student. The forum will be from 4-6. p.m. in ACD 102. According to the event's organizer, Professor Sharon Elise, the purpose of the forum is, "to find out what kind of special training the campus officers have so that we do not replicate the problems of racial profiling and harassment that those in my discipline have documented among police generally in this country." The forum is being held in response to the October 20 arrest of African-American student Jason Williams on Campus Drive. According to Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, Williams was pulled over by officers shortly after midnight for failure to stop at a stop sign. As a result of the traffic stcTp, Williams was arrested on felony suspicion of violation of penal code 626.10 which prohibits "any dirk, dagger* ice pick, or knife having afixedblade longer than twoand-one-half inches upon the grounds of, or within, the California State University." "I and several of my colleagues are upset by what we have heard regarding the details of the officers' conduct and the charges, based on our own very positive experiences with the student whose academic career stands threatened by this incident," said Elise regarding the arrest. CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis and Assistant Chief Woodard were unavailable for comment by press time. Citing legal reasons Williams declined comment at this time. University President Karen Haynes is scheduled to attend the forum. Professor Elise is hopeful that representatives from the NAACP and ACLU will also appear. According to Elise, CSUSM Police Chief Schultheis has been invited to the event but has yet to confirm. INSIDE BY ALLISON SANDSBURY Pride Staff Writer News Former Qualcomm CEO speaks on rnn^mJ^g^L .. 2 Seethe world as a student pg 3 th This year would have marked the 12 annual Tukwut Powwow for many Cal State San Marcos students. Reasons for the cancellation of this year's event include lack of money and participation. The time change going into winter forces the sun to go down aroundfiveor six o'clock, so generators are almost necessary to have a true powwow. There wasn't enough money to power generators for this year's powwow. "The total amount of members has decreased by an estimated 50percent over the past couple years," said AISA faculty advisor E.A Schwartz. Student participation in the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA), the organization on campus that sponsors the event, Variety Photo courtesy of American Indian Studies Association. Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride Photo of Tukwut Powwow 2003. has also been declining in recent years. Schwartz says that the students who are still involved with AISA regret the Tukwut powwow cancellation this year, but that it was not a feasible task this year with the amount of people participating. A similar type of situation has been occurring at Palomar College. Recently they have had to cancel their powwow due to a lack of student participation. Cal State San Marcos Faculty mem- bers David Whitehorse, Bonnie Biggs and Schwartz were the originators of this festival in the early 1990's; the first official powwow was heid in 1992.

Initially, the Tukwut Powwow was a group of people sharing stories, thoughts, and ideas. It was originally called "American Indian Story-Telling." The powwows were prepared and presented by the foculty until 1999. This is when the students created the American Indian Student Alliance. The Native Studies program at CSUSM was recently developed in 2002. Biggs said that in the past these events were willed to happen, "because of love".

Sulpizio said that it is always important to stay honest with oneself and to make sure one trusts the company they work for whole heartedly, or start looking elsewhere for a job. Sulpizio emphasized that he "puts on his pants one leg at a time" just like everyone else. He said giving back to his community has always been at a priority for him. Sulpizio pointed to the $1 million donation Qualcomm made six years ago for the CSUSM library as an example. The contribution helped speed up the completion of the library for students. Students in the class seemed to enjoy Sulpizio as a speaker. "It was cool to see someone so humble and down to earth in that kind of position," said business major Lucas Dalager. Dalager said he felt that Sulpizio was the best speaker yet. Sulpizio started working for Qualcomm in 1991 and he retired from his position as CEO in 2001. Since retirement Sulpizio has served as a board member for Qualcomm where he recently hired international presidents of Qualcomm in China and parts of Europe. leadership breakfast held Professors Pillai and Kohles speak about presidential leadership BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer Today as students head to the polls to decide who will be our president, leadership ability is one of the qualities they will be looking for in the candidates. Presidential leadership was the topic under discussion at the breakfast seminar titled "Charisma Under Crisis: Presidential Leadership Before and After 9/1" that was held on October 27 at 7:30 a.m. in the Field House. Rain could not keep 50 student, faculty, and community members from participating in the fourth breakfast seminar put on by the College of Business Administration and the Center for Leadership Innovation and Mentorship Building (CLIMB). This topic was discussed by the Executive Director of CLIMB Rajnandini Pillai as well as Director and CLIMB founding member Jeffrey C. Kohles. Pillai and Kohles discussed the relationship of crisis in the com- We're CSSM's Local Pub! Just minutes west of campus at 887 W.

Information presented was based upon student surveys, analysis of presidential speeches, and analysis of media coverage. Those in attendance seemed to enjoy the event. "I thought both speakers were charismatic, though Pillai's usage of comedy made her a little more charismatic on a student level," said CSUSM student and President of the Accounting Society Daniel Dollar. The seminar enticed a few local community members to get involved since it was advertised in local newspapers. "I've always been interested in the subject of leadership," said Marine Corps soldier Michael Taylor. "This is just another venue I've come to see the matter discussed. One of the first things you learn in the service is what it means to lead. But honestly, leadership is common to other areas. There are common principles that can be applied to any situation." Pillai was pleased to see members of both the university and community attending the seminar. "In a nutshell, we are trying to reach our internal and external community," said Pillai. "We are trying to accommodate their needs by getting good speakers and identifying student leadership. We're trying to offer training leadership programs to local businesses and we hope to have mentoring opportunities for students." CLIMB began offering the seminars last year. "What we would like to do is have one or two a semester," said Dean of the College of Business Administration Dennis Guseman. "They're really targeted for the local businesses, current students, and the overall community. We're very excited about CLIMB as a vehicle to reach out to the community as well as the university. I expect many great things to happen under the leadership of Dr. Pillai," said Guseman Guseman encourages the public to contact him with ideas about topics they would like to see addressed at upcoming seminars. He is also interested in getting more local businesses connected with the program and the college. Guseman can be reached by phone at (760) 750-4242 or via email at dguseman@csusm.edu.

It is something that many students do not consider because it is perceived as expensive and/or time consuming for those who are on strict graduation schedules. Cal State San Marcos sends about 13 - 15 students per year to several countries such as China, Spain and United Kingdom. Despite the costs there are benefits for students who participate in the program. "It sets you apart on your resume," said Study Abroad advisor Jan Stockey during last Wednesday's Study Abroad informational meeting. One of the most prominent programs offered on campus is CSU's International Program which offers a variety of 100 academic majors at 70 different universities spread throughout 18 countries. It is offered throughout the CSU system to give students the opportunity to experience learning in a different educational setting as well as learning a new culture. The program is a year long program that truly enables students to immerse themselves into a different culture. Often students will live on campus for one semester in order to familiarize themselves with different people and the different customs; then live off campus next semester. "People get nervous, 'Oh, I don't want to get an apartment,' but it's really simple," said former Study Abroad student Lily Chu who studied in China in 2003-2004. Several other study abroad programs are offered on campus such as the Exchange Program which allows students to "trade places" with other students from host countries such as France, Japan and the United Kingdom. Students of different countries are given a chance to switch places to learn about each other's countries. They have a choice as to whether or not they will stay for a semester or the whole academic year. Cal State San Marcos also offers summer study programs, which are short-term programs of four weeks. Students are also able to apply to other study abroad programs offered at other CSU programs as well as non-CSU sponsored programs. However, the program must be preapproved by CSUSM. Students studying abroad under an approved program receive full credit for the work. The application process for studying abroad is intensely competitive requiring a panel interview, 2.75 GPA (some may require a 3.0), specific course work, as well as an essay. Fewer than 1000 students from all 23 CSU campuses apply for these programs each year. CSUSM study abroad advisors offer a helping hand to guide students thorough the process. "We try to prepare you for the interview. We try to give you information in advance," said Stockey. Financial resources are available for students who are interested in participating. Most students who study abroad really enjoy the experience. "It's so much fun, I want to go back," said Chu* For more information on study abroad programs on campus visit www.csusm.edu/uga/studyabroad. htm. DEBATE, from page 1 President Bush's polices on Iraq, the economy, and the environment. "George Bush is an incompetent president and he needs to be voted out of office. He's misled this country into an illegal war. He's run up the largest deficit in the history of the world. He's got us on an ecological policy that has us on the road to disaster," he said. Bunch urged the audience to vote for Kerry by touting the senator's education and record of public service. "John Kerry is a career public servant. John Kerry is a deep thinker. He's openminded. A vote for John Kerry is a vote for the future," said Bunch Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Larry Greenfield, argued for the reelection of President George Bush. "The Bush doctrine said 'You're with us or against us in the war on terror.' Clinton knew we were going to need regime change in Iraq. You can't keep kicking the can down the street forever," said Greenfield about President Bush's foreign policy. He disputed assertions made by Bunch about the war College Democrats, College Republicans and PAN urge students to vote Three clubs, one election. No matter how much the views of the CSUSM political clubs differ, they all are promoting voter awareness and participation in this year's election. The three political clubs on campus are the College Republicans, the College Democrats and the Progressive Activist Network (PAN). Each club has done their part to increase the number of voters from the 18-26 age group by handling out flyers and setting up tables where students can register to vote. " "No matter what side you're voting for, my hope is that people our age will stop being apathetic. Because I think we're underrepresented and it's statistically shown," said Progressive Activist Network President Julie Bennington. Executive Director of the CSUSM College Republicans Nick Bonomi is optimistic about the results of recent efforts to increase voter turnout. "I definitely believe we (young voters) will be voting more in this election and it's mainly from Sept 11. If I had to guess, it's possible a 20 percent increase just from our generation," said Bonomi. The clubs have also promoted their political views about current issues to inform student voters. PAN and the College Republicans have been the most active clubs this year, sponsoring two debates on campus as well as the showing of politicalfilms. The College Democrats club is rather new on campus and is growing with the increasing number of student Democrats on campus. "I was approached by a few people this semester willing to actively participate in the club and really wanting to get out the main message to the students of the Democratic Party. We've taken a very public role this semester within the campus because of the need to really inform and educate the campus community of the election and what could happen with the outcome of this election," said President of the CSUSM College Democrats Dustin Lacasse in Iraq. "You're wrong, my friend, about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. We found sarin and anthrax, and we found the missiles which could deliver it," said Greenfield. Greenfield also levied criticisms of Senator Kerry's activism during the Vietnam War as well as of his Iraq policy. "While our troops were being tortured, he (Kerry) met with the enemy not once but twice in Paris. Then he came and testified on thefloorof the US Senate and said that we were the army of the Genghis Khan," said Greenfield. "He now says he'll lead us to victory in a war he doesn't even believe in. I don't trust Senator Kerry." At 11:15 a.m. when the debate began, there were approximately 50 people who Students observe the debate. Clubs promote voter awareness BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Photos by Daniel Lowe / The Pride When asked which presidential candidate each club was supporting, responses primarily went along party lines. "Our club (College Democrats) supports Senator John Kerry because he supports more equality within the states and has more distinctive plans on the outcome of Iraq," said Lacasse Most members of PAN also support Kerry in the election. "Our club doesn't really support any candidate. We're comprised of a lot of different views. PAN doesn't endorse any political party/But in this year's election, the majority of our members support Senator John Kerry," said Bennington. The College Republicans are advocating the re-election of President Bush. "Our club obviously supports President George W. Bush because of his tax policy which would help the lower, middle and upper class people, he's rock hard as in he does what he says and he's a very compassionate person because he's a pro-life candidate," said Bonomi. showed up to watch. By the time the event ended around 1 p.m. the crowd had grown as many on campus stopped to watch the debate as they were walking by. The debate showed not only how divided Greenfield and Bunch were on the issue, but also how divided the audience was. Some audience members clapped enthusiastically for Greenfield, while others rallied for Bunch. A few in the audience had a hard time containing their response to speakers' statements. As Larry Greenfield was speaking a person from the crowd yelled, "You trust Bush? You're nuts." The heckler later identified himself as Mark Evereklian, an alumnus of Cal State San Marcos. "Some say it is wrong to interrupt a speaker while he is speaking, but I disagree. I feel it is wrong to sit idly by and listen to what both the speaker and myself know are lies. Anyone who dares stand at a podium should have a story that at least comes close enough to the truth that the audience will be able to stomach his rhetoric without having uncontrollable outbreak of unwanted rage," said Evereklian WANTED my* l l f 1 mh ! l# fill INSTRUCTORS!!! $11.00 -$17.00 per hour Call.

For the love of dance and hip-hop, Jam Control offers a student club experience and as free dance lessons with a taste of soul all at the same time. Dance routines range from jazz to hip hop depending on the choreographers' styles. Thus far, the group has learned one routine per week, six routines since the beginning of this semester. The group was originally started by a couple of students looking for an outlet on campus. With their shared love for dancing, the group originally went by the acronym J.A.M. C.O.N.T.R.O.L (Justifying Artistic Movement Collaboration of New Talent Realizing Our Love) was given birth to in the spring semester of 2003.

Luckily, the group was revived by RJ Omabtang, Phil Hunyh and Edgar (Doodz) Agapay who have taken the group to higher heights with their continuous support and enthusiasm. For some apparent reason, regardless of how exhausted they are, the dancers and choreographers still are able to cheer when they learn new routines. It's just amazing to see at least 25 individuals share such passion and desire to learn fresh steps. Yet, the routines can be a little intimidating, especially if you've never been in a dance troupe or your high school airband. "You can be a person who can't dance or you can be a pro, everyone gets love here," Agapay said. Regardless, the atmosphere is still welcoming. The sessions are always open for instruction and questions. The choreographers are willing to go over the routine to make sure each person is caught up. Eventually, the group hopes to kick it up a notch and perform or join dance competitions.

These are just a few facts to describe the devastation of the fires that took place last year, October 25-31,2003. The San Diego Natyral History Museum has put together an outstanding exhibit called "Earth, Wind & Wildfire." The exhibit utilizes objects, videos, photographs and interactive displays with the intent of educating people about the responsibility of living in a fire-dependent place. The importance of fire knowledge and fire safety was escalated last year. The curator of the exhibit, Dr. Anne Fege, has done a wonderful job creating an exhibit that is effective for all ages. There are interactive exhibits where children can put on costumes of native animals, a mural of the fire cycle, and an exhibit that adults and children alike can learn how to build a fire-wise home and even rate their own homes for fire safety based on the materials used in construction. Stunning images of our natural surrounding habitat line Photo by Jared Devore / The Pride the walls of the exhibit. It is reported that more than 2200 plant species and 490 bird species have been recorded in these diverse natural habitats affected by the fires. The exhibit gives us the opportunity to learn more about these affected species and knowledge about living in coexistence with nature where wildfires are a threat. Moving images display the sheer power and destruction of these fires. Images of communities burnt to the ground, breathtaking images from high above the burn areas and even original melted glass out of people's homes made into sculptures in remembrance of this event are a few things that you can expect to see at the exhibit. A main feature of the exhibit contains an enormous projection screen that puts the power of the fires into perspective. The quickness with which the wildfires spread last year is testament to the importance of this exhibit. Many students at CSUSM were directly affected by the fires and some indirectly affected by the fires with the cancellation of classes and the terrible smoke that permeated the sky. There is really something for everyone at the "Earth, Wind & Wildfire" exhibit which opened on the anniversary of Firestorm 2003, October 26,2004 and will run through October 2005. Three CSUSM students have taken the initiative to make a difference within our campus community. Julie Bennington, Sarah Leonard and Mark Weber are putting together a peace picnic for students, staff, faculty, and the community. "The peace picnic is an effort to increase peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard. "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of "With all the built up controversy our campus has undertaken, bringing back a sense of % serenity is just what we need" said Leonard serenity is just what we need. We want to promote peace and raise issues of equality, health care, gay marriages and genocides to inform and engage everyone's opinions." The peace picnic will feature speakers from different clubs here on campus. Each club will be speaking about current topics that are affecting our community. Because people interpret peace differently, getting a glimpse of what others see will broaden our horizons. "The goal is promote peace, and to understand the different interpretations of peace for different cultures," Leonard said. The International Club, Black Student Union, Progressive Activist Network, College of Democrats and Republicans, Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender and Women's Studies Student Association are a few clubs and organizations that will be speaking about different aspects of diversity, equality and peace. "We really want to break the barrier of being commuter school. We really want to reach out to the campus community," Bennington said. The peace picnic was originally scheduled on October 27 but due to rain it will now take place on November 10 in front of the Kellogg library grass field. Free food will also be offered during this picnic. This event is open to all students, staff, faculty and the rest of the community. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting him, his classes are very interesting. Schneider was born in Argentina, while his parents were on a missionary expedition. He spent his childhood in Billings, Montana. He lived in Montana until he attended Colorado State University to get his bachelor's degree and then master's degree in Sociology. After receiving his master's, Schneider made the journey to southern California to go after his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California. It wasn't always sociology in Schneider's educational path. He actually started as a pre-veterinarian student. He took an Introduction to Sociology class as an elective and knew right then that this was the field he wanted to study. He changed majors the next semester, even though this meant going against his family's wishes. Schneider has been teaching college students since 1980. While getting his master's at Colorado State, hefinancedhis studies by becoming a teacher's assistant. This is what sparked his passion for teaching. When he made the move to USC, he taught courses like Introduction to Sociology and Sociology of Sport as a medical student. After receiving his doctorate in sociology he began to teach at CSU Los Angeles. It was in 1993 that Schneider first became aware of CSU San Marcos. - After leaving USC, he remained in contact with the head chair of the sociology department. She told him that a newer campus was underway in a small community in San Diego. Schneider called Teresa Baker, a former chair of the San Marcos sociology department, to schedule an interview. The rest is history. Since his first day on the job, Schneider has remained in love with this campus. He has always believed in the CSUSM sociology department while sharing the same vision as the three chairs that he has worked with in his eleven years of service. The quality of students on campus has always impressed him because of intellect here on campus. He has taught at different UC's and CSU's, but believes that the intelligence on campus is as strong as any place he has seen. He loves teaching all of the sociology classes because they all satisfy a different niche. However, he feels that Sociology of Sport, Sociology of Violence and Death and Dying are unique to him. Besides Sociology, Schneider has other interests. He is extremely zealous when it comes to his Denver Broncos. He and his wife are very much into equestrian activities. Schneider likes jumping horses, which is called the Hunter-Jumper discipline. Upon his unplanned retirement, he hopes that he and his wife can spend even more time on equestrian. Being married to a vet, it is also no surprise that he has four horses, three dogs, two cats, one guinea pig and an assortment of fish. Another hobby that he really enjoys is cooking. What makes Schneider so likeable? Professor Schneider adds humor to his lecture. It's the fact that Schneider narrows the gap between professor-student relationships. How many teachers do you know who offer their home telephone number in case of school emergencies or just to talk about sports? Something he is very proud of is his continuing relationships with San Marcos students after they graduate. He What if likes to see how CSU San Marcos has shaped their lives and how the university has helped them become successful. Tm ?

BY KARLENE WIEGAND Pride Staff Writer The CSUSM's Cougar Athletic Program competes in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NAIA provides athletic programs for 57,000 studentathletes that represent 333 institutions. Cougar participation marks a national arena for CSUSM athletes. CSUSM anticipates fielding competitive athletic teams for years to come. The athletics program at CSUSM has various club teams, but currently CSUSM offers three intercollegiate sports with both men's and women's teams: golf in the fall and spring, cross country in the fall and track and field in the spring. Student-athletes will compete in golf and track and field, traveling to competitions throughout the region and hoping to repeat and improve upon national successes from last year. Last year, the men's golf team received fifth place nationally and the women's team received tenth place nationally. Track andfieldis doing just as well with many athletes being named Ail-American at NAIA nationals. CSUSM offer scholarships for these intercollegiate athletes and hopes by expanding the athletic program, more scholarships will be offered attracting student's athletics to CSUSM. At this time, a decision has not been made on which sport will be added next to CSUSM's intercollegiate athletics program (NAIA), but several are being considered. However, the expansion of sports programs revolves around many key factors including sustainable funding and availability of onsite facilities. The athletics program is committed to offering lifetime sports to students and offers club team sports for equal participation. The following club sports are being offered from expansion: soccer, swimming, tennis and volleyball. The NAIA league selects schools with high commitment to academics as well as competitive athletics. CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR DRINKING? ¡f^HH ì fit MUSIC HOUSE Are you 21 - 65 years old?

Bush BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer can't even imagine what our world would be like if Bush is re-elected and nothing changes. We have made a mess in Iraq. I don't expect things to get better immediately but I feel that Kerry will begin to clean things up. Kerry will start fighting the war on terror as it was intended to be fought; against terrorists, not oilrich countries. He has promised to change the way the rest of the world views America and rebuild relationships with allies that Bush has destroyed. We are living in an industrialized country that doesn't even provide basic health care for its citizens. I believe health care is a right every American is entitled to and that it is possible to keep quality health care and still make it accessible. Kerry has a way to cut the costs of premiums and prescription drugs and developed a healthcare plan that will be available to everyone. As a woman, I feel choosing Kerry was important, because he supports women's issues as well as the right to choose. Although I may never choose to exercise most of my rights, I don't think it is the government's responsibility to take them away from me. Kerry also believes in protecting woman's health rights and closing the pay gap. It's been forty years since the civil rights movement and I think the current administration is working hard to undo many of the things the movement accomplished. For example, Bush ended affirmative action which not only benefited minorities, but also women. Kerry understands the benefits of affirmative action and will most likely reinstate it so that everybody is given a fair chance. Bush is also trying to instate a constitutional amendment that will prohibit gay couples from having any rights. We cannot allow an amendment to be added that would promote discrimination and intolerance. Kerry supports domestic partnership which would allow gay couples, rights similar to that of a married couple. The Social Security system is in trouble, and although Bush has a plan fix it, Kerry wants to change the system and develop something that will actually exist when I need it. I feel that Kerry is aware of the problem and will insure that I will benefit from a system I've been paying into my whole working life. Kerry also has a unique approach to the 'war on drugs' that will change the way non-violent drug offenders are punished. The current punishment is jail, but Kerry believes that prevention and treatment are a much more effective way to stop drug use. By treating drug offenders first, prisons will be less crowded and there will be a decrease in the number of repeat offenders. I believe that voting makes a difference, which is why I voted for Kerry because I believe he will change things. for the foreseeable future. I believe that Bush and his cabinet have much more experience in dealing with the Middle East, and have a much better chance of sons. This is not to say I creating a sovereign counam a diehard Bush sup- try and democracy in Iraq. porter, rather it is my feel- I don't feel that Kerry has ing that Bush edged out a strong enough commitKerry for the following ment or character to handle reasons.

Bush has proposed an energy program that if passed by Congress will lower our future need for oil. Also by making energy an issue, Bush is addressing the Corporate A verage Fuel Economy ( CAFE) to improve gas mileage in SUV's, vans and trucks. Republican or Democrat, nobody could have predicted the September 11 tragedy that killed thousands of people and crashed our economy. It's been a long and tedious job to improve our economy, and if you look at the numbers, we are improving. In the past year, our gross domestic product (GDP) has grown almost 5 percent. In just over a year, 1.5 million jobs have been created, and the national unemployment rate is at 5.4 percent which is below the average of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. When it comes to Vice President Cheney, I feel he is very intelligent and has more experience in business and foreign affairs than Kerry or Edwards. The Bush cabinet as a whole, in my opinion is strong and I feel they will provide excellent counsel to Bush in this very stressful and dangerous time in our history. In particular, I feel Bush and his cabinet are more capable of protecting America's homeland, and have more potential to resolve the problems in Afghanistan and Iraq. In writing this, I know that the majority of students on campus are probably for Kerry. I think that's fine as long as you vote. What I don't like is when people regurgitate Michael Moore or Fahrenheit 9/11 and can't come up with other reasons to vote for Kerry. The year 2004 has definitely been the year of bashing Bush, and bash away, as long as you have solid reasoning as to why Kerry would be better.

With what sensational media may dub as "Rainstorm 2004" underway, I was stuck in my room. Soon, I was stuck in my head. I was cleaning out the old memories, cobwebs of ideas that I started and gave up on, dissecting old boyfriends, and soon enough, I stumbled onto the pile of pet peeves that I swore I would never drudge up again. As far as the rain goes, I've no complaints, except that people tend to "wear" the weather. It's raining, yes, so I suppose the scowl is all apart of the galoshes and scarf ensemble, no? Whatever happened to splashing and enjoying what is a southern Californian rarity? One rainy morning, I decided that I had to go somewhere, regardless of the weather and I came across another pet peeve I have: people who lose their keys. My friend, a CSUSM graduate who is, in many respects brilliant and responsible, loses her keys as if every time she does, Brad Pitt kisses her and an angel gets their wings. It happens so much that I do believe I black out a little bit. I feel as if I'm Richard Gere in the movie Unfaithful. I say nothing the first time I hear the faint whinny of "Where are my keys?" as she sifts through her purse, shaking it, moving change from one side to the other. I mumble the words, "I'm not feeling well." I just hope that there are no snow globes around because. I dislike people losing their keys every time just that much. Once she finds her keys, we are off.

(I so hate Bob Saget) Jamarr had a great right-up on Kweli's CD, Phoenix came through as always, and Ms. Guevarra had a great one on four with professors from other lands that all seemed to say 'America needs to chill/ So what's wrong? Why do I feel like I need a double shot of wheat grass with a squeeze of Viagra to get an arousal out of this collection of tree-skins? Then, I come back to the frontpage, the news. The Referendum that saved the ELC had a whopping 565 students vote, the ballot debate started with 100 people and dwindled to 20,24 people hung round the FHM comedian, and let's not forget the excitement of signing a beam for the new building atop the h ill Our campus cannot b e this friggin' d ull When the signing of building materials takes the front and center of a paper, something is seriously hosed up, Coincidentally, the same week that produced this gala-of-thedull was just after the headsin-charge (the illustrious Editors-in-chief) demanded that all articles had to be in by Thursday afternoon. Keep in mind; the writer's get their assignments on Tuesday night. That gives a writer a whole Wednesday to get the stories, Now, the Editors would likely tell ya that this is a weekly publication and so the news can't be all that current On top of that, the writers are assigned stories for the most part, and this is not a paper where journalists' find the news; they're told to pick from amongst the list (that the editors provide mind you) and write on the subject Or, maybe they'd just say that this school is really that friggin' dull. But, I'm not buying the hypothetical arguments that I put in their mouths^ As I see it, this paper suffers from a lack of trust. Our two Editors-in-chief don't trust the writers to do research, sniff around and find letter from the editors Dear fellow students, faculty and administration, The Pride would like to thank each and every one of you for voting today. No matter what party you subscribe to, Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc., or no matter how flawed you believe our election system is we are still very fortunate to have the opportunity to vote. Whether you cast your vote f or the incumbent's certainty, or the candidate that claims "Help is on the w ay" or f or Nader, your vote does count. So now that the votes our votes are cast, we can start the clean u p process; ie. Removing stickers from our vehicles; taking signs off our front lawns; and washing away the chalk. Let's all get back to normal. Please give your hippie-liberal or your rightwing-Hummer-owner neighbor a big hug. So thank you, f or participating our wonderfully free election, The Pride Editors. Election worthwhile stuff to write upon. They don't trust them to be journalists. I suppose I don't blame 'em, I wouldn't trust anyone to find a worthwhile story by Thursday afternoon that's gonna be relevant on Tuesday's print. Hold on a tick! Maybe, that's the problem. Why oh why do our writers get less than 48 hours to turn up a story, and our editors get 64 hours to put the paper together? That's counting lA of Thursday, all of Friday through Sunday, and a sliver of Monday. Don't get me wrong, I know splicing this puppy and gettin' her ready for print is a tough job. Jason Encabo is our only layout designer (and he kicks ass), but there's gotta be something we can do. When we end up with beam signing, I don't blame the people on the frontline, unlike the former Mayor of New York. I blame the Generals.

As proof positive of the irrelevance of the 'news,' I was informed in my evaluation that "some readers say [the] Ombudsman column is the first thing they read." I'm flattered, and saddened.

Please mon'generals, do something. Make the news newsworthy. On a side note, in that same evaluation I was informed that my "use of slang, colloquialisms, and aggressive criticism" are what some people don't jive with.

Case in point - the manipulation of public opinion by Fox News. If these lies were spread by the CRs and they go unpunished, what is to stop them from lying again? And what's more loving, the parent who never punishes a child's transgressions, or the parent who disciplines a child to teach them that intentionally lying for political gain is not within the parameters of acceptable social conduct? Whether or not the CRs spread these lies, the important thing to remember on Election Day is that these lies were spread by Republicans. Think about this! All we've been hearing from Republicans this year is that Kerry is a liar who will say anything to get elected. Apparently two can play that game. This begs the question, "Who's telling the truth?" Obviously not Bush propagandists at CSUSM. Here's another thing to chew on. Who owns the organizations feeding you, "objective news?" Liberals? I wish. No, very rich, very white, very conservative men (www.fair.org). What's their agenda? To perpetually increase profits. How? By sticking to just the facts and talking about policy specifics? No. By employing hyperbolist spin doctors who tell you what to think in between commercials by reiterating trivialities like how likeable Bush is ad infinitum until everyone stops thinking about real news like the growing deficit, environmental destruction or how corporations are dictating government policy to their benefit and the average citizen's detriment. If you want to live your life as a dupe keep believing the talking heads. If you believe truth matters - think for yourself. And when you vote, remember one other important piece of news. Bush lied - and people died (and are still dying)! Erik Roper (eroper@owl. csusm.edu) Alumni, Class of 2004 Dear Pride, Students, and Faculty, In the last few weeks we have had a problem with what I call the vandalization of our school by the right. Bush supporters and anti-student organization activists have been plastering and chalking up the school with bogus messages in a desperate attempt to win your vote. By the time most of you will be reading this however, most of you will have voted. This action taken by the Republicans to spread their message is weak, immature, destructive and out right nasty. I respect people's right to their freedom of speech, especially when questioning school policy, but tagging the school is unacceptable. When PAN, WSSA, College Democrats, faculty and students had a problem with the Michael Moore issue we didn't vandalize the school. We spoke out using the only platform of free speech we had left in this school. (Free Speech Area) I see a deep political slant in this school when action like these remains unpunished and there is little effort to clean up the mess. I thank Mother Nature for the help in cleaning this mess made by the "W street team." Unfortunately we the people are always forced to clean up the mess the right makes, whether its foreign policy, the economy, values, almost anything. We as mature adults must speck out against these types of actions. The action taken by these the "W-street team" is illegal. There are certain ways and means to get permission to chalk or put up flyers. All one has to do is go to Student and Residential Life (SRL) and fill out some paper work. It's one thing that this action is vandalizing the school; however the serious violation is that this action is illegal. If we don't catch these vandals what's to say they wouldn't tag the school like gangs. As mature adults we are better than that, and I hope the College Republicans denounce this behavior. If they know who did this, I plead that they please give the information to the proper authorities. I call on all students,' faculty, and administration to condemn this action. Some student Republicans have gone on record calling actions like these satire, jokes, or politics. "Get over it!" Say what you want, this is vandalism and it cost the school money. Money that can be used to help you the students get better classes and achieve a higher learning. I will not stand by while other groups get punished similar behavior that is minimal compared to last Mondays attack. What ever you, as readers' think of my option, don't forget to Vote November 2nd if you haven't already. Felipe Robinson Zañartu Internal VP, Historian, PANews Progressive Activist Network I just wanted to comment and respond to the "Vote Bush" graffiti that was all over the school this past week. I personally can not stand President Bush and to be truthful I actually look down on the people who want to vote for this moron but I want to commend these people, whoever they maybe, for taking the actions that they did. I know the school must investigate and prosecute to set an example for futures occurrences like this but I do not agree. Did the people really graffiti anything permanent? It looks like this week's rain might be enough to clean it up. Is it wrong to have a real passionate protest at campus? We know the school won't allow anything real or inspired. They put a square around an area and say you can do this there and do that thing here and if you do it this way we can't allow it and on and on. It made me happy to see this protest.. .this flamboyant attack on the democrats of our school. At least there was some fire in the hearts of some of the students that attend this school. We are the living dead around here. There is no real excitement anywhere at anytime. I know, I know, what is there really to be excited about on a campus where the buildings are as colorful as milk, the people leave as soon as class is done, and the most exciting thing we have is a stupid clock that has the wrong Roman numeral on it? Well I like to blame the school for making sure that everything is safe and boring. Everything is not meant to be ok and I think everyone should start to realize that. People are different and have different views so let them express them. We should have stuff like this week's graffiti and school pranks. We need life to breathe into this campus of ours. I want to give congratulations to the people who wrote the Bush statements and I hope you get away with it (but I hope he still loses). Finally I want to urge students to take a stand against the bland and act out sometimes. Sincerely, Weston Rogers free speech zone). The College Republicans (headed by Nicholas "W" Bonomi) organized the rally. That is calm compared to what just happened a day before the debate between Commander Gerald Bunch (of Veterans for Peace) and Larry Greenfield (of the Republican Jewish Coalition) started. When I walked around campus on Tuesday morning, I saw proBush chalk graffiti etched around Chavez Plaza. I was told that there were pro-Bush signs littered around campus, some on the LGBT poster by Founders Plaza. It was offensive to PAN, the College Democrats, M.E.Ch.A. (they will go ballistic when they see what happened to Chavez Plaza) and the LGBT club. When PAN did the anti-police brutality protest with chalk drawings, they were erased in thirty minutes. Nobody did anything about the pro-Bush graffiti. Also, the pro-Bush graffiti was scattered around campus, having invalid statements like "ASI for Bush". As a man of respect, I cannot point the finger on the College Republicans. It could probably be some pro-Bush splinter group that has more zeal than the CR. Who knows? We'll see what Bonomi has to say about this. Ken Lux CSUSM Senior, Visual Arts Major & PAN supporter Some have suggested these lies were the work of the College Republicans To The Students, (CRs).

Man, I tell ya it would be the best seller" -Jay Z That quote sums up the experience of "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" perfectly. The latest installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise has hit shelves all across America and has given people, like yours truly, another excuse not to go to class for a few days. Anticipation was at an all time high in the months prior to its release, heck I even had to go to a couple of different stores just to get a copy (thank the lord for Target!). Normally within the video gaming subculture, when a game is highly publicized and anticipated, it usually tends to suck. The good people at Rockstar Games and Rockstar North have created what could possibly be one of the greatest games ever. "San Andreas" is roughly five times the size of the last game, "Vice City", and has three cities to roam instead of just one. There is the San Francisco based city of San Fierro, Las Venturas is a clone of Las Vegas, and Los Santos is modeled after the city of Los Angeles. The game is set in the early 1990s in the California based state of San Andreas. You play the game as Carl "CJ" Johnson, a former gang member that headed to the East Coast five years prior to escape death and gang life in San Andreas. You are forced to return to your home city of Los Santos when you receive word that your mother has been killed. From that point, mayhem is only a press of a button away from your fingertips. Your first order of business is not to bury and grieve for your mother (what kind of game experience would that be?), but instead to meet up with your brothers and re-establish The Grove Street Families as the premier gang in Los Santos. You would think that all that is required of you is to shoot this or steal that, oh no grass hopper, there are more wrinkles in this game than an 87 year- old man. For the first time in the GTA franchise, your main character is almost human. In the game you will need to eat to survive. Big deal you say? Well if you decide to chow down on burgers all the time then Carl will get fat, and I mean noticeably fat with a bloated face and body. So how do you remedy that? Just like in real life: you head on down to the gym and work it on out. Not just one workout in the gym is going cut it either. Depending on how big you are, it could take you three of four visits to the gym before you turn into a thug complete with prison muscles. Another twist put in the game is the addition of purchasing full wardrobes and hairstyles. Buying different clothes, getting different hairstyles, and working out, all contribute to your Stamina, Power, and Sex Appeal bars. The game is so packed with objectives that I can't possibly name them all, so you will just have go get a copy (if you can find one) and experience all the things that your parents told you not to do. universities all over the country.

Once known as the world's top superhero, Mr. Incredible, along with his wife Mrs. Incredible, and another famous superhero were forced to abandon their famous lives in order to give their kids a normal life. After fifteen years of trying to be a normal family, Mr. Incredible is summoned to duty by a mysterious source. Itching for action, Mr. Incredible takes the dangerous assignment to try to regain the superhero life he misses so much.

CSUSM celebrated its 15-year anniversary at the library Plaza Wednesday afternoon, acknowledging long-term, veteran pioneers. The ceremony was held to recognize all the hard work BY SCOTT PHILIPS Pride Staff Writer Police conduct is a growing concern among those who feel they have been unfairly treated by campus police. N An open forum was held on November 4 following the recent arrest of student Jason Edwin Williams on campus by Cal State San Marcos University Police. The event was organized by Professor Sharon Elise from the sociology department. The Thursday forum had been rescheduled so President Karen Haynes could attend, but much to the dissatisfaction of the attendees, she never arrived. The forum started with Williams, telling his side of the events that transpired on the eve of October 20, including the rough treatment he alleges during the arrest. According to Williams, he was pulled over by campus police for failure to stop at a stop sign. Williams claims he was never asked for his car registration or insurance, but instead was asked to step out of his vehicle. He said that after being questioned about his ownership of the car, the police started to search the vehicle. "I asked them why they were searching my car, and could not get a clear response," Williams said. He said after finding an open bottle of alcohol—left over from a birthday party a few days earlier—the officers performed a sobriety test on Williams. Williams explained that he was going to study for his midterm. Williams went on to state that the officers continued with their search of the car, even after determining that he had not been drinking,. Williams said he was handcuffed when one of the officers found a kitchen knife during the second search of Williams' car. See FORUM, page 2 VOL.

According to Robert Williams of CSXJSM Parking Services, thefloodingof the entrance was caused by the location of the, "catch basin at the north end of lot Y where most of thefloodingoccurred. The water compromised the dirt bank and created afloodat the entrance. Installation of the catch basin is scheduled, but the area must dry out completely prior to starting work."

Williams states that the officers laughed while executing the search. Williams said he was then forced into the cruiser and taken to jail.

Many students here aren't always fond about finding the perfect teacher who will impact and change the way we feel about school. But, believe it or not, some of the professors here on campus do just that. Have you ever walked out of class feeling like you came out a better, stronger, wiser person? That a professor impacted the way you believe and see things? Well if you have, here is your chance to show your appreciation. The CSU system awards the CSU Wang Family Award each year. This award is designed to recognize faculty who have distinguished themselves by making exemplary contributions in their academic disciplines, and by having a discernable impact on their students. Each year, four faculty members from the CSU system are honored for their dedication to serving students needs. Not only in the classroom but also for efforts above and beyond what is expected of them. The qualifications are based on teachers that have contributed to learning through activities such as publishing, includ- Tuesday; November 9 2004 CSUSM hasfinallynamed our mascot- "Crash the Cougar." "CSUSM has never officially purchased a real cougar mascot, ASI felt it was completely necessary," said ASI Vice President of Communications Roy Lee. As of October 21, the students at Cal State San Marcos voted on the name Crash to represent our cougar mascot. Before "Crash the Cougar," the CSUSM mascot was given a local Indian name. The CSUSM mascot was the "Tukwut," which is the local Indian language name for "cougar." Students were unfamiliar with the name and started calling the mascot a cougar instead of Tukwut. "Tukwut was our original mascot, not the cougar, but since it meant the same thing, students adopted the cougar instead," said Lee. Students had the option of Photo Illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride ing students in their research, community service and recruiting students. These professors contribute and benefit not only students, but also contribute to the CSU's reputation for excellence in teaching, learning, research, scholarly pursuits, student support and community contributions. Faculty that are probationary and tenured within the last two years are eligible to be nominated for the Wang Award. One nominee from each of the following divisions may be nominated: Visual and Performing Arts and Letters, Natural Sci- ences, Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering, Social and Behavioral Sciences and Public Services; and Education, Professional and Applied Sciences Fields. Faculty, academic administrators, alumni and students can nominate professors for the Wang Award. Nominations should be submitted in writing to the Senate Office here on campus, and should explain why the professor should receive the award, and the relationship the nominating individual has developed with the professor. BWANTÉD'^ voting for Crash, Rocky, Casey, Corey, and Jamie as possible names for the cougar mascot. But many students were not aware of the naming cougar voting, as well as knowing the real history of our mascot. "It has already been voted on. It was on the same ballot as the Childcare Services Referendum," said Lee. Students have already voted and Crash is the new name for our cougar mascot. "It is now in due time when we will make a better formal announcement regarding the name of our mascot so students are fully aware," said Lee. J . W .

Yeah, my mind is odd like that. Thefirstname that popped into my head was Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq is extremely charismatic and knows how to work the media. He has experience in battle as he has taken a lot of abuse under the basket. He can also battle mentally as he was in a war of words with Kobe for the past 8-years in La La Land. He would get a lot of support from the male voters 18-35 as that is the core sports viewership. He would win the urban vote as he is a hip hop artist (not a very good one, but he has released some albums). He grew up in a military family and he is getting his masters degree in criminal justice, which would help him with the military vote. Then as I thought a little harder, Shaq couldn't beat Kobe in the battle of Los Angeles so how could he beat anyone for M1MÍ the presidency. After I realized Shaq wouldn't hack it, Curt Schilling of the World Champion Boston Red Sox popped into my head. This guy has made an art of using the media to promote himself. He would easily get the Republican vote as he went on the campaign trail for President Bush. Schilling has always been a winner as he has been to the World Series three times with three different teams. However, he might piss off a lot of people because he does speak an awful lot about religion and hisbeliefs. Once I realized Schilling wasn't going to cut it, I thought of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt Jr. is an interesting pick here as he could give "Dubya" a run for his money because they are so similar. Earnhardt Jr. could steal a lot of the southern votes as NASCAR is huge in that area and the NASCAR vote was supposed to have an impact on this past election. Earnhardt Jr. is also the son of a legend just like Bush and just like the president he spends a lot of his time going in circles. Earnhardt Jr. also stumbles over his words in front of national media like he did several weeks ago when he dropped an F-bomb in a post-race interview. But honestly, who is going to vote for a race car driver? Then I realized I was forgetting about the most influential man in sports history, Michael Jordan. His Airness has been selling the American public more crap than most politicians. I mean this guy has been the spokesman for sports drinks, underwear, batteries, fast food, shoes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. He also has experience in being an actor as he did star in the movie "Space Jam." There is no doubt he is a winner as he won Six NBA titles with the Bulls. I don't believe a sports icon will ever become President but it is interesting to imagine what if, but then again if Arnold and Photo Illustration by JasonEncabo / The Pride Jesse Ventura can become governor who is to say we won't see President Michael Jordan or If you can think of a sports icon let me know by sending an EPresident Shaq. that would make a good president mail to Sando026@csusm.edu.

BY JAMARR PATRICK Pride Staff Writer First of all, please let me say that politics can kiss my ass. Secondly, I am so glad the political season is FINALLY over! Thefirstreason why I am glad that it is over is that I don't have to see these stupid celebrities hocking their newfound political values at me. Now that the season is over I canfinallywatch the same episode of "The Real World" thirteen times in a row without having it interrupted with an "important" message from Eminem telling me to vote. Why on Earth would I listen to a person who has never voted? He and all of his celebrity brethren all of sudden get a political wild hair up their asses and they want to go preach to the masses about voting? You know what all these celebrity endorsements did for me? Nada. Nothing. Zip. Zero. I have been registered to vote since I was 18 and P. Diddy giving me a free "Vote Or Die!" t-shirt had nothing to do with it. I, like a whole lot of others, know that you are supposed to vote if you want to make a change. Another reason why I'm glad the political season is over is that now I don't have to walk down the street and see my neighbors front yard decorated like a pack of skittles with those bright colored signs encouraging me to vote for whoever they think is the best candidate. Speaking of candidates, no longer will my Jerry Springer political season. I think you can commercials be filled with lame cut a year's worth of begging and candidates talking about how mudslinging down to about two they want to make a change and days. Run it all on public access blah, blah, blah. Now I can get for 48 hours—all the commercials, good old fashioned commercials all the celebrity endorsements, all for institute of higher learning the crappy party benefit concerts like U.E.I. with people that we thought were All the political season is good dead, all of it two days in a row for is people begging. Begging no breaks in-between—and call it you, urging yoji to vote for Prop- "Poli-palooza." osition "This" and don't vote for My final reason why I hate Prop. "That." I really do hate the the political season is because it just gives people that think their party or cause is right, over a year to be complete jerks about it. In non-election years people are pretty calm about their presidential affiliation. Once it's an election year you get these same people that are out for the opposition's blood. It's like they might as well have had t-shirts made that said "Bush Or DIE!" on them or "Kerry Or DIE!"(Take your pick). Hey if you want to E VERY W EDNESDAY f 80 s Mi#it w/ act crazy then don't wait for an election year, just be crazy from the start so that I know not to talk or get near you. Anyway, no more politics on every channel means now we can concern ourselves with more important information—like who Paris Hilton is dating this week. Goodbye political season, see you in four years. san mareos THURSDAYS N ight F ree C over « / College I D 80'$ Hock Cover Band! m>e<nr»r 21 & up W s A L NIGHT L FRI - SAT Nothing But Touring Stand-up Comics!

I wasn't going to let that stop me from serving my civic virgin. Like anyone who is about to duty; I wasn't going to let anyexperience the bliss of their first thing or anyone get in my way. The second I got out of my 11:15 time, I was ready: this was going to be an experience I was going class I ran down all thirty flights to remember for the rest of my of stairs, jumped in my car, and hopped on the 78 heading west. life.

Now I was going to be the laughing stock of the voter world. To my amazement, when I arrived all I saw were "W '04" shirts in line. I had always been under the impression that you weren't supposed to make your candidate choice known. In my childhood, I would always ask my mom who she was going to vote for and she would respond, "Ryan, its illegal to discuss this information." Now I know she just didn't want to talk to me. So even though all these people broke the voting etiquette, I wasn't about to break my voter poker face. After ten minutes of sitting in line listening to the elder voter with his dog behind me preach- ing religion (needless to say we all know who he voted for), he decided to throw a vocal blow my way. Someone asked him, "Hey is your dog voting Bush today, too?" and he responded with, "I wish. He'd probably make a more educated decision then some of the young voters we got here." I sat, quiet, contemplating a clever response that would display the knowledge I had on the candidates and the issues, but the best I could come up with was the sarcastic statement, "I highly doubt that, sir." I finally made it to the front of the line. By this time I was a mess, I could have signed my name with the sweat off my palms. I checked in, walked to the electronic voting contraption, and handled the ballot like a pro. I looked over at the elder voter who so rudely judged me, and was happy to see he needed to be aided with the electronic ballot. I softly muttered, "Get with the times," under my breath, finished, and walked away proud with my "I Voted" sticker. Another eighty miles later I found myself back in class, a new person; I was no longer a voting virgin. The next day when I woke up tofindBush the winner, I felt like most people do after theirfirsttime, completely disappointed.

As I walked through the front door that afternoon I couldn't help biit shudder as thoughts of my mom telling me to vote for Nader and my father telling me to vote for Bush resonated in my head. It's tough being the only Kerry supporter in my household. Then I got to the polls and, lo and behold, all of my information was different. On my misspelled name, I had no party affiliation and then on my correctly spelled name, I was registered as an absentee voter.

Maybe it should be palled the "Moshing Turtle." I was incredibly impressed with the atmosphere and scenery of the bar; it reminded me of being in some artsy San Francisco or Pacific Beach type of cafe, but it was a lot louder due to the live music. The Friday that I checked out the bar, four bands played. I liked the second band, called "Fith," because they sounded like a mix of Silverchair and Incubus. Other than music for entertainment, there are also two pool tables (equipped with two chalk squares), and a functioning dartboard (a rare and pleasurable find for me). The $2.50 long-island drink specials were definitely achieving their goal; they were cheap, strong, and there was a variety offlavorsto choose from. The MidoriLong-Island drink was the best. There was also pineapple or orange to choose from. Besides the specials, the beers are heavenly. There are 33 choices that are all draft; they range from Johnny Courage brewed back east, all the way to Arrogant Bastard from Stone Brewery right here in San Marcos. The only thing worse than the semifunctional bathroom (I want to stress the singularity/non-pluralness of bathROOM) was the cover charge at the door. I'm not a big fan of cover charges, but it was only five dollars and the drink specials were satisfying, so I got over it. The bathrooms weren't totally intolerable because there were only about 15-20 girls there, the rest of the 40 people were all guys; it was a sausage fest.

If" BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer "'The Grudge' is less a film than a terror delivery system," wrote Keith Phipps for The Onion. I'm quoting Mr. Phipps here because he has defined "The Grudge" better in one sentence than I could do in one page. The Grudge is a remake of Ju-On; a Japanesefilmby Takashi Shimizu. The American version, "The Grudge," is set in Japan, but is cast with Hollywood faces: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Bill Pullman, and Jason Behr. The plot summary is simple: Study Abroad student Karen (Gellar) volunteers as a senior citizen aid. Her first assignment is at a ghost-filled house in Tokyo. The premise of the ghosts is that a woman was killed in a fit of rage by her husband who then killed himself and their son. Karen then takes on the task of discovering the history of the haunted house. Do not let the simplicity (or the former vampire slayer) deter you from seeing this film. The movie is scary as hell and I don't care how accustomed you think you are to horror movies; once you see the little Japanese boy (Yoko Maki) pop out of a closet, you will be looking over your shoulder for days after you leave the theatre. "The Grudge" is fused with suspense and technology. This is the first horror movie I've seen where ghosts are appearing on video cameras and cell phones, with the BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Columbia Pictures background of Toyko, which is futuristic in itself. Although the movie trailers assert that the stars of the movie are Sarah Michelle Geller and Bill Pullman, the character development is slim to none and you willfindthat no one character is more important than another. I Mghly recommend "The Grudge.'' I will conclude with this, as just thinking about this movie for my review is giving me chills and I amfindingmyself looking over my shoulder in panic. Tear off your own head The "Saw" doesn't cut it as a psychohorror flick BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Maybe I set the bar too high before viewing the movie "Saw." The movie had extreme potential and could have shaped up to be a thriller that left a lasting emotional effect. "Saw" is about a killer who selects "worthy" victims and puts them into bizarre situations. The victim is left with little time to make life or death decisions. The movie starts with complete darkness, and then opens Photos courtesy of Lion Gate Films. to a rusty and abandoned industrial bathroom, where two men are chained on both sides of the room. In between the two men is a dead body with a gunshot wound ta the head, a .38 handgun, and an enormous pool of blood. This is one hell of an opening scene. Both Dr. Gordon Lawrence (Cary Elwes) and a young man named Adam (Leigh Whannell) must figure out how to escape, using the few clues that the killer has left them. This includes two saws, too weak for the chains, but just sharp enough for human flesh. The following scenes take you through the path that leads to the connection these two men have to each other and eventually, who is at hand for these hideous crimes. While disturbing, the scenes lack that "umph" that would classify this movie in the realms of "Se7en". The movie takes us through a series of gore, violence and selfinflicted pain, but we can only feel sympathy for our charac- ters because of the situation they are put in. There is no character development and the acting is unconvincing. There are many parts where the suspense is leading us to a very shocking moment, but far too often the surprise never comes. I was hoping for a strong performance from Cary Elwes after a long departure from the big screen, but was not impressed with his overacting in many scenes. I would only recommend seeing this movie if you are truly into psychopathic thrillers. Even then, you might be let down because of the unrealized potential of this movie. Take your chance and maybe you will get more out of "Saw" than me, but let's just say "I told you so " . , A Perfect Circle's much anticipated album "eMOTIVE" hit stores November 2. A collection of songs put together by the infamous quartet that is described by Maynard James Keenan (vocalist), as "a collection of songs about war, peace, love and greed." The band has diversified their music, and fan base with this new album. One of the tracks, "Imagine" is a John Lennon song that speaks of a fictitious world without greed, possessions, religion, and all things that create division between people. "eMOTIVE" also includes cover songs by classic groups such as; Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," Memphis Minnie's blues stomper, "When The Levee Breaks" (made famous by Led Zeppelin), Depeche Mode's "People Are People," Devo's "Freedom Of Choice," Black Flag's "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie," Fear's "Let's Have A War," Joni Mitchell's "Fiddle And The Drum," and the Nick Lowe (by way of Elvis Costello) anti-anthem, "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding," The album will definitely appeal to those who enjoy some of the tracks listed above. However I think most old school fans will feel slightly cheated. There is original material on this album. Is it what you are looking for similar to the Perfect Circle of old? Probably not! A Perfect Circle was able to create quality renditions of the tunes, retaining their own dark, rhythmic, and heavy sound. We are witnessing the progression of a truly great rock band attempting to branch out and reach a more diverse fan base with an abstract new album. Most of the reactions to "eMOTIVE" so far are in fact, negative, citing Eminem's appearance on the album to be, "embarrassing." A Perfect Circle fan may be a bit apprehensive to buy this album due to the large number of cover songs contained in the album. However the album's message is to be considered as it comes to our nation at afittingtime of war and uncertainty. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Approximately 24 students waited in the boardroom adjacent to the president's office and when Haynes arrived the group presented her with a letter expressing their concerns. The letter was presented to Haynes by Progressive Activist Network (PAN) President, Julie Bennington, and it expressed frustration regarding Haynes' inaccessibility and lack of support for students. Students chose to stand quietly around the President Haynes listens to student concerns. VOL. XII NO. 12 As if juggling school, work, homework, and family isn't hard enough, many CSUSM students also worry how they'll pay for tuition next semester. The financial aid office in Craven Hall 4204 is set up to help students getfinancialassistance, but for some students it actually provides more headaches than money. Financial aid paperwork is extensive and once it's complete there is no guarantee financial aid will be provided. If a student is granted financial aid there is no guarantee the funding will sustain them until graduation. "I was supposed to graduate next December. A month ago I got a letter from Cal Grant saying this was my last year on financial aid," said student Diane Gallego. Gallego, taking 12 units each semester, has made the dean's list while working part time to support her family. In terms of completed units, she currently stands somewhere between a junior and a senior. The Cal Grant is only good for four years, but Gallago has about another year until graduation. "I don't know what I'm going to do next semester," said Gallago. Augusta Fruzyna has a different problem with financial aid. She takes advantage of a veteran's grant, however she lost her grant because she made too much money at work. "It's a lose/win situation.

Student groups such as, College Democrats, PAN, Woman's Studies Student Association (WSSA), Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender Alliance (L.G.B.T), and the College Republicans.all set up tables at the eVent àlòng with community groups such as Code Pink and San Diego Coalition of Peace and Justice to provide students with more information on ways to promote peace. The groups also provided speakers. "The picnic was an effort to embrace peace and equality in our diversity," said Sarah Leonard of PAN.

The letter also addressed students' concerns about the forum held regarding policing practices on campus held on November 4, which Haynes was scheduled to attend. Haynes stated that the "circumstances of the forum President Haynes changed" switching from a forum, to a discussion of an "incident-specific event" and that is why she could not attend. The students said that Haynes' staff gave them several contradictory reasons why Haynes wasn't there. They said that someone representing Haynes should have attended. "If you support my experience, then you need to listen to my experience and that is not what's happening," said Honey Folk, student and former ASI President. "My concerns are to be concerned about the issues and safety of students, and to also protect their rights and protect the rights of all employees. [Campus] Police are employees in the University and I have to guard against them being prejudged," said Haynes. Another issue the letter C 4 i l K I * !trit\0<k fM ^"Kiiiiiii» ^«iriP*» NOW addressed was that students have a hard time successfully booking appointments with the President. "Students realize that we don't have to sit back and take it. We don't have to wait around for her to decide it's a good time to meet," said Bennington. "We have valid questions." The students and Haynes discussed several ways to fix the problem, one of which was a form students can fill out to help schedule meetings more effectively. The students and the Haynes agreed to have a meeting about how to meet, and then to meet on the issues. When the discussion was finished Haynes thanked everyone for sharing before leaving for another appointment. "I think what we had to say was effective in that we were heard, but not so effective in the sense that we didn't get a good answer" said Bennington. "We will definitely follow up." HIRING!!!

Having over 300 veterans that attend CSUSM, and many more eligible for veterans' grants through family members, Fruzyna isn't the only one who struggles to balance personal income and qualifying for government aid. Student Elsie Solis is frustrated with the process. Despite being financially independent of her family, she still finds it difficult to get grants. "I signed up early but still didn't get the grant because my parents made too much money. But I'm 23 and I'm not a part of [dependent on] them anymore. But they (financial aid) said until your 24 you're still a part of [dependent on] them," said Solis. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) considers students dependants of their families until they are 24, or married, or are working on their masters/doctoral, or they have a child that they support. "It's not something we get kicks out of either, it's a Congress thing. Write to your Congress. They feel it's the family's responsibility until the student is that specific age," said Cynthia Silman of the financial aid office in response to Solis' concerns. "If a student feels they have special circumstances to their dependency level they can check on the dependency override," said Silman. Dependency override is determined at the campus level. "We need to look at the specific situation. There are only a few grants and scholarships that are specifically four years," said Silman in response to student concerns about four-year loans. Solis said that loans are readily available, citing the fact that the government gives CSUSM students about, "$22 million a year in loans." More information about loans, grants or other financial aid can be found at the Financial Aid Office website at: http:// www.csusm.edu/finaid/ or at the FAFSA website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. ing about how there is no racial profiling going on," said Sayf. "Yes they quoted me. The comment I made was that according to the police officers I talked with, this was not a case of racial profiling," Jennings said to the group. Student Honey Folk asked Jennings if the university was asking the newspaper to run a correction. In response, Jennings said that she wasn't misquoted. "It was part of a quote. I did say yes, this was not...," said Jennings stopping mid-sentence. After a brief pause, Jennings reiterated that her quote was based on information she received from the Cal State San Marcos Police Department. "The President [Haynes] sent out an email saying we should not make judgments about what happened without all the information. You represented to the Spring registration i n progress Tuesday, November 16 2004 newspaper that there is no problem here. That is not true," said Sayf. According to Sayf, who compared student demographic information obtained from the CSUSM website along with demographic arrest information obtained from the CSUSM Police Department website, "twice the percentage of black and twice the percentage of Latinos" were arrested by Campus Police than the percentage of these students on campus. CSUSM Director of Communications Rick Moore said that comparing arrest and demographic data doesn't account for "a lot of people who come to campus that are not students." Several students said that campus visitors were not numerous enough to account for the statistics. "The people who read the story are now getting the impression that his [Williams] race did not enter into the picture, and we know that to be false," said Folk. "And let the record show brothers and sisters, we will not stand for it any longer," added Sayf. The group left Jennings office. Outside of Craven Hall Sayf said, "There is only one way we can all make a difference and that's together." On November 11 a group of students gathered in ACD 402 to write letters to CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis demanding an investigation into campus police practices, and that charges against Jason Williams be dropped. Shortly after noon some 30 students marched from the classroom to the police department to deliver the letters chanting, "Investigate the campus police. Stop the harassment. Bring the peace," briefly along the way. The marchers gathered single-file outside the police department and delivered their letters one-by-one to police dispatcher John Frawley who said he would niake sure the chief got them. PEACE, from page 1 could come." The picnic was originally scheduled to happen before the election, but because organizers invited congressional candidates to speak, it was seen as political and too high risk. Risk management asked the student organizations to obtain special event insurance (at a cost of about $400) which they attempted to get, but were denied because the event was seen as high risk. The administration then gave the organizers another option; hire a campus police officer to guard the event. "Walls-were put up in front of us when we tried to plan this event," said Mark Web of the College Democrats. "The administration is doing the students on this campus a disservice when they try to stop student originations from trying to have a platform to discuss different ideas." "It sends a message to the students when we have to have a police officer with a gun at our peace picnic," said Sarah Leonard. Rain also delayed the event but Thursday the weather cooperated and the picnic went on as planned. There was BBQ to feed hungry students and plenty of guest speakers all spreading the same message: peace. "This is unbelievable, awesome. I am so excited to see our little university doing Photo by Heather Hoffmann / The Pride Lanysha Adams addresses the crowd at the Peace Picnic. something," said Communication major Brandi Feston. "I wish more people were here, this event really opens your eyes." Francine Busby, former congressional candidate, spoke about peace and gave students ideas on how they could become peacemakers. "Each one of us is a peacemaker, and each one of us has to smile at someone everyday.. .peace is something we have to work for," said Busby. Communication major Jason Williams shared a personal story and then told students, "We are not here to be closedminded individuals...we as students have the power to change the country." Executive Director of the College Republicans, Nick Bonomi, offered a different perspective when he spoke on peace as a Republican JZju^^ "The Republican party fights for peace too," he said "they just don't go about it the way you do." Members of the International Club spoke and read definitions of peace from around the world. "Peace is to live in harmony among differences," read the definition from Argentina. A1 Howard from the K23 orchestra preformed spoken word poetry, and Julie Bennington, PAN's President, sang a song she wrote. "I feel learning is just not enough, learning about peace is a great start, but what are we going to do after that," said Heidi Doyle of WSSA. "I am grateful for PAN and WSSA for getting students to be activists."

Turns out your water bottle is headed for one hell of a journey. The journey begins when CSUSM's Blue Team is responsible for emptying and sorting of the campus recycling bins. According to the CSIJSM Recycling Green Team's Mui Sullivan, "Blue Team members (from CSUSM's facilities department) haul the larger wheeled bins to the recycling sorting area located behind the Science II building." The Blue Team corrects any errors students might make while recycling—such as accidentally putting a glass bottle into the plastic recycling bin, or vice v e r s a removing garbage from the recycling containers and preparing the recyclables for pick up by EDCO whenever the bins are filled. "EDCO is on an on-call basis," said Sullivan. "Since the campus population varies throughout the year, it makes more sense for us than having a regular pick up schedule." When asked if trash in the recycling bins was a big problem for the Blue Team, Sullivan didn't think so. "Once in a while we find a napkin or something in a recycling bin, but I think the percentage of garbage found in the recycling bins is very small," said Sulli- van. EDCO hauls the recyclables to its Escondido sorting facility, where plastic bottles are separated from the aluminum, and each other. EDCO spokesperson George Peterson said, "Each bin picked up from CSUSM is spread across a large conveyor belt where it is manually sorted." Each type of plastic follows a different path to be recycled: PET from water bottles will be remanufactured into assorted polyester products such as fiberfill, clothing, carpet, and HDPE from milk jugs will become plastic lumber products, recycling and compost bins. EDCO compresses the PET plastic water and soda bottles into pallet-size bundles, which are sold on the open market to manufacturers like Mohawk Industries in Summerville, Georgia. Mohawk spokesperson Roone Gable was proud of his company's achievements in PET plastic recycling. "Mohawk Industries is the world's largest floor covering company, and our polyester division is the largest user of postconsumer recycled PET plastics in the world," said Gable. Gable went on to say that Mohawk uses 220 million pounds of post-consumer recycled PET plastic per year. "It takes fifteen bottles to make one pound of carpet; you can imagine how many billions of bottles we're responsible for recycling each year," Gable continued. When asked whether Mohawk was able to acquire as many recyclable bottles as needed, Gable was pensive. "There is defi- i Photo illustrations by Jason Encabo / The Pride nitely a greater demand than supply, which is going to make continuing the manufacture of products like ours difficult; prices for post-consumer recycled PET plastic are at the high end right now," Gable said. Currently US consumers recycle approximately 36 percent of PET plastic beverage containers. Thefinalstop for thisincarnation of your plastic water bottle may be the carpet under your feet. San Marcos carpet retailer West Coast Flooring sells all of Mohawk Industries 100 percent post-consumer recycled PET plastic polyester carpets, which can be ordered through their showroom. According to the EPA, carpets made of recycled PET plastic tend to be more stainresistant than other fibers. If you thought your plastic water bottle came back as a plastic water bottle, you're not alone. In fact plastic water bottles can't be made from plastic water bottles. It's too costly to disinfect the plastic for that purpose; Coca-Cola tried for two years and it wasn't cost effective. So next time you shove your bottle through that rubber slot, be nice. Your bottle has a long, long way to go. PCSD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed? Sad? Holiday Blues? Help is just down the street...

"There is nothing like hands-on experience and applying what I have learned at CSUSM with real life situations," said Teri Renner, human development senior. "Plus an internship looks fantastic on your resume." Randi Delenela, CSUSM sociology alumnus said, "On my quest for looking for a job, all employers that I have talked to want information on my experience. So I tell them about my duties and responsibilities at my internship. So far, the results of my job hunt look promising." The only down side of taking on an internship is that students have to work a minimum of 15 hours a week and the internship must be non-paid to receive academic credit. Yet, after it is all said and done, the attractiveness of an internship may give students that extra umph needed to impress employers.

Maybe you can explain it to me, but why is everyone always trying to be something they aren't? I run into people everyday of my life pretending to be someone else. There is nothing more annoying in my eyes than when people kid themselves into being someone they aren't. Athletes have spent years trying to perfect their game yet for some reason they think they can start rapping or acting on the drop of a basketball. I finally lost my sanity with these wannabe American Idol's when I heard that Ron Artest of the Indiana Pacers just made a rap album and now he is out pro- moting it for its November 23 release. Artest has become so consumed with the promotion of his album that he has caused himself extreme exhaustion. He has been so exhausted that he requested a month off from the team so he could rest up. When I heard the news of his request I thought to myself, "Who does this guy think he is?" I mean the NBA season just started and he wants to take time off from his job that he has for only 7 months out of the year so that he can go participate in an extra curricular activity. The Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle didn't take to kindly to the request of Artest and Carlisle benched Artest for 2 games and told him he had to come back and play after the punishment. As I use my magical sports mind and look into the future I can tell you right now that none of his songs will be Grammy worthy because there is a reason why he shoots baskets and not flows. I mean how many athletes have platinum selling records? He won't be the first athlete to be a bust when trying a ng ture.

I am also a student here at Cal State San Marcos on the brink of graduating with my bachelor's degree in History, specifically American History with an emphasis on the American Indian experience. I am not of Native blood; in fact, I am of Irish, English, German, and Norwegian descent. I attended Palomar College after high school to pursue a career in fashion design. The classes I wanted were unavailable and so on a whim I took a class in archaeology and a class in American Indian studies. My life, who I am today and who I will become, began that semester. While working toward my associate's degree in archaeology^ met many wonderful people of American Indian descent. They were kind enough to share their experiences, beliefs, opinions, and laughter with me, giving me a perspective of the Native American community that could never be gleaned from the pages of academia. Upon transferring to Cal State San Marcos, I heard of the American Indian Student Alliance (AISA). I met some students who were members of this club in one of my American Indian History classes and thought that it would be interesting t a join and meet people of American Indian descent who were my own age so that we could discuss contemporary Indian issues. I thought that maybe I could help bridge the gap between archaeologists and Native Americans by answering questions that they may have had regarding archaeology, and by asking questions regarding their feelings of archaeology. The gift I received by joining AISA was much more than I could have ever realized. I was honored to assist in the hosting of the Cal State San Marcos Tukwut Powwow for two years, an event that was hosted by AISA in association with CSUSM faculty and staff for 11 years. A powwow is a traditional gathering of people from many diverse American Indian nations to celebrate life and pray for the sick or the deceased. Drum groups and bird singers give the gift of music, dancers in regalia dance for prayer or for competition, modern traditional Native American food such as fry bread is available for sampling, and arts and crafts by Native American vendors can be purchased. The powwow at Cal State San Marcos was a spiritual as well as an educational gathering. It brought the campus community (comprised mostly of non-native students, faculty, and staff) together with the American Indian community. The Cal State San Marcos powwow had become so renowned through the years that Native people from all over the United States also participated in the event. Atfirst,I thought I would simply help pick up trash at the event, but mostly just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of the powwow. However, it became evident quite quickly that this event was one of the most difficult campus events to host, and a 110% participation of all members of AISA and the powwow committee was vital. The bureaucratic red-tape necessary to host this event was enough to drown a nuclear-powered submarine. The cultural intricacies needed to be practiced in order to invite members of the Native American community were intimidating and conflicted with the bureaucratic methods employed by the university. There was never enough money, there were never enough volunteers, and there was a lot of sweat and a lot of tears. The stress was nauseating. The powwow would get started sometime around 10 am on Saturday, the first weekend of October, and fingers would be crossed. The host southern drum group would begin to sing blessing songs as people of all ethnicities started to gather on the soccer field turned powwow arena. Small problems would arise, but with so many brilliant minds gathered in one place a solution would be found promptly and to the liking of all parties involved. Burning sage and fry bread could be smelled, smiles could be seen, laughter could be heard, and tears of pride and tears for those unable to share in this event because of war or death could be f elt People caught up on each other's recent activities, gossip was exchanged, and American Indian culture was taught and discussed to those who had never experienced a powwow before. By the end of the weekend, the exhausted, aching bodies of the volunteers, the dancers, and the vendors were of no significance; for the hearts of all powwow participants had beenfilledto capacity with beautiful memories, new understandings, and pride. These were the gifts that AISA gave to me. I take these gifts of knowledge, of friendship and community, of strength and pride, and of laughter with me as I get ready to leave this university. I know that my life is wealthier from the experiences I have been honored to share with the members of AISA, the members of the powwow committees, and the powwow participants. I have hope that the campus community, namely students of both Native and nonnative descent, and the local Native American community will work together to gather on campus again for the education and the preservation of the American Indian experience. A couple of weeks ago I read something that said, "Why do we terrorize people to show people that terrorizing people is wrong?" Think about it. Here we are as Americans, being the huge hypocrites we all are, justifying the war in Iraq for our security and for our benefit. How nonsensical is that? To begin with, we are going to ask the age old question: Why Iraq? Weren't we targeting Osamafirst?When and why did our attention shift to Iraq? What gives us the right to go and strip another country of their weapons if they've never possessed a threat to us? How would we feel if another country came to the U.S. and started bombing us and saying that they were getting rid of our weapons because we used an ATOMIC BOMB (twice!) in Japan? How do we justify killing innocent women and children just so America remains omnipotent? How many lives is the United States responsible for when we go to war and when we use our weapons of mass destruction? Think about this thoroughly people... what is really the reason for this war? Is it really to secure ourfreedom,well being and our homeland security... or is it just an excuse to have our current President finish off something his daddy couldn't at Desert Storm? Tell me once when Saddam came to this country and started killing us like we are killing Iraqis. I am not siding with Saddam here, don't get me wrong. I am simply trying to state the truth in what most of us refuse to see. If Saddam is really as horrible as he appears to be, aren't we Americans just as bad? Do we not kill people for power? Do we not do the unthinkable to defend what we stand for? Did we not torture Iraqis just for our own sick pleasure? You all know we did. Then why is it that we bitch and moan when they decapitate a soldier when we already starved, raped, sodomized and killed many Iraqis? What is OUR justification? And if we are justifying the Iraq invasion by saying that Saddam was a threat, well then, isn't Fidel Castro a threat? Isn't North Korea's uncontested ruler Kim-Sung a threat too? And back to my point... why did we just let Osama slide by? The truth is he slid by because we lost our "main focus" and targeted Hussein, not because he is a smart and clever little man who knows how to hide well. I mean, if we found Saddam stashed in a hole in the middle of nowhere, why haven't we found Osama since he is constantly parading around sending us videotapes? How can you all sleep at night knowing what's going on. The worse kind of person is the one who refuses to see the truth. Well, then I guess we all must be blind... It's not a question of "God Bless America" anymore. That saying changed a long time ago to "God Forgive America." Myriam Santos santo024@csusm.edu I have always stood by Karen Haynes side even when I did not agree with the way she handled certain situations. Even while Michael Moore ridiculed Karen Haynes on stage I remember telling her I still thought she was a great President. Face it people can be faced with hard decisions and sometimes they chose the wrong path to take. BUT I can no longer stand by her side while she ignores the racial profiling taken place on our campus by our own police! I am saddened by the fact that a President I stood by could be so blind and heartless. What has been happening on this campus is wrong and the fact that she can not see what injustice practices our HORRIBLE CAMPUS POLICE officers are committing makes me question her ability to preside over this University. I hope she makes positive strides to fixes these injustices that have occurred. But then again I might be asking for to much.

You'll shoot your eye out." This caveat echoes through out the film "A Christmas Story." The statement is the recurring logic that places a seemingly immovable obstacle in the path of young Ralphie's quest to obtain a "Genuine Red Ryder Carbine Action Two Hundred Shot Lighting Loader Range Model Air Rifle" for Christmas. The story of Ralphie, his dream of holding that B.B. gun and factors that influence his reality (his parents, his younger brother, his friends, the neighborhood bullies and Santa himself) create a connection with the young as well as the young at heart. Ralphie reminds us that the desire for that one g ift can build to such fervor that the want becomes the passion. Ralphie is undeterred from pursuing this gift although his parents are unwilling to entertain it. He fails to convince his teacher in an essay that he is deserving of the gift. Even Santa casts a dark cloud over Ralphie's desire by repeating the impeding mantra. _ Mixed in with Ralphie's hopes are the overtones the BY KATIE POWERS Pride Staff Writer "Buddy the elf, what's your favorite color?" " Elf' is the newest addition to my holiday classics list. Where else can you see a f ull grown, semigood-looking man wearing green tights? The beginning of " Elf' has a strangely familiar claymation feel to it, but once you get beyond that it's definitely a winner. My favorite part of " Elf' is also (probably) the stupidest. I love the part where Buddy goes to work with his dad. Buddy runs around and around in the revolving door until he pukes (how many times have you so wanted to do that?). And affect some families during the holidays: the search for a Christmas tree, the repercussions of youth profanity and the struggle to salvage Christmas dinner from jaws of the neighbor's dogs. Despite the chaos and opposition, Ralphie's dad comes through with the gun. And, true to the warnings, Ralphie promptly "shoots" his eye out. The legacy of "A Christmas Story" is not one of personal injury. This film represents how the holidays, although nostalgic, are often mired with realities that are not so fond at the time. From that, we can all relate. then there's the part in the office when Buddy (for no apparent reason) is sitting in the corner on top of a stuffed polar bear. Who comes up with this s tuff? " Elf' brings out the wound-up holiday kid in us all. G et " Scrooged" "Christmas V acation" a nd the phrases that keep us watching every year BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Instead of reviewing this awesome film, let's just reminisce the fabulous phrases that we enjoy every year. "Merry Christmas! The shitter was full," said Cousin Eddie while emptying out a septic tank while wearing a woman's bathrobe that barely covered the family jewels and drinking a beer as well. "Hallelujah holy shit where's the Tylenol," yells Clark Griswold after receiving his certificate to the jelly of the month club. "Every time Catherine turns on the microwave, I piss my pants and forget who I am for a half an hour," jokes Cousin Eddie in the living room wearing a white v-neck sweater with a brown mock turtleneck BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer visible underneath. "Honey, why don't you run and get the kid's things, and don't forget the rubber sheets and the gerbils," said Cousin Eddie to Catherine after turning up unexpectedly at the Griswold's. "It wouldn't be the Christmas season if the stores were anymore hooter, I mean hotter than they are...you can't see the line, can you Russ," said Clark trying to hit on a young saleswoman. And my personal favorite from the yuppie neighbors next door, "Why is the carpet wet Todd? I DON'T KNOW MARGO!" I remember watching 'Scrooged" in the theater with my Mom and my sister when it first came out. Ever since, I watch it every year from Thanksgiving to New Years at least 10 times. I can honestly say "Scrooged" is the best holiday movie ever made. What makes this movie a holiday classic is that it takes a well known Christmas tale gives it a modern spin and adds Bill Murray as nasty Mr. Francis Xavier Cross. Who, by the way, has no qualms about firing an employee and cutting the holiday bonus for his faithful secretary, all in the name of saving a few bucks. My favorite scene is with the Ghost of Christmas Present who is dressed like a fairy ballerina with great big sparkly wings. She prances around Frank with her high pitched squeaky voice and beats the crap out of him. The best thing about "Scrooged" is that it teaches us that the holiday spirit should not come just once a year. We need to put a little love in our hearts throughout the whole year. �holiday movies "Planes, Trains a nd Automobiles" 11/16 Psi Chi Meeting 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. UNIV 444 BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer PAN Weekly Meeting 1 p.m, to 5 p.m. UNIV 444 College Republican Meeting 2 p.m* to 6 p.m. UNIV 442 l am Control Meeting 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. ACD 101 11/17 Association of Computing Machinery Re-Introduction of ACM BBQ 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, Library Plaza "Santa Clause" is coming down the chimney A L L E T he M 1:1% SANTA clause IdST'ata MM! •rat.

Tim Allen becomes the new Santa after the current Santa accidentally falls off of his roof. What a great story idea! For the next 330 days after Santa kicks the bucket, Allen totally forgets his holiday obligation to the entire world and goes about his merry way. December rolls around (literally) and I love watching Allen gain 100 pounds and try to explain to his doctor why he's put on so much weight. It must be all the sweets and milk he's been eating the past month. The elves are great. They are actually little kids playing elves instead of "little people" who are normally cast for those roles. It's clever, quirky and a little cheesy, but good clean holiday fun. Potty humor for the holidays When the holiday season comes around, one reason I get excited is because Ifinallyget to watch the shows with bad words and crude humor that have characters like "Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo" as opposed to the Yogibear specials I was subjected to as a child. Now, instead of fighting with my little brother over who gets to light the menorah candles or sleep on the big couch while we wait for Santa to come, I can have fun laughing out loud watching funny shows like "A Very Crappy Christmas." South Park's Christmas specials with BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer BY ALLISON SANDSBURY Pride Staff Writer Mr. Hanky are great because Mr. Hanky is a walking, talking, and crapping piece of dung. Mr. Hanky visits all of the children in South Park, despite their religion. In Season Four of South Park, the audience finally gets to meet Mr. Hanky's family; his wife who always has a martini in her hand, and his three kids. A Comedy Central interview with Trey Parker and Matt Stone said that Parker created Mr. Hanky because of an old story his mom used to tell him to increase the rate of the potty training process. She used to try and scare Parker by saying, "if you don't flush the toilet Mr. Hanky will come out and get you!" If that doesn't put you in the holiday spirit, I don't know what will.

This angel has no Halo H alo 2 n ow i n stores BY JARED DEVORE Pride Staff Writer "Halo" players have been chomping at the bit for more than a year to play "Halo 2," and their chance has finally arrived. When I discovered my roommate had plans to go to the Game Stop in San Marcos at 12:00 a.m. Tuesday morning November 9th to pick up his reserved copy of "Halo 2," I was convinced he was out of his mind. It turns out, I was wrong. We arrived to a line that spanned -the entire length of the shopping center. It was apparent the expectations for this game were enormous. In fact, the expectations of the gaming industry continue to grow. This forces game creators to pump out new games that are incomplete or inadequate renditions of dreams. With the holidays quickly approaching, it is no surprise that "Halo 2 " was finally released in an attempt to reap the benefits of the holiday economic boom. In the defense of Bungie, the creators of "Halo 2," the long awaited release of the game has paid o ff yielding a t computer Images courtesy of Bungie Studios. Illustration by Jared Devore graphics masterpiece. I don't think many people would have been satisfied with much less. You can now customize your characters appearance, play with a character from the opposition, and rampage through enemy forces in the warthog. Picture your mom's Hummer with a powerful cannon mounted on top that decimates other vehicles with ease. Another attack vessel that reappears in "Halo 2 " considerably revamped is the ghost. A combination motorcycle/hovercraft, the ghost now sports a tuibd boost function similar .to a nitrous oxide boost on a car. This feature can be used effectively in escaping dangerous life or death situations. The levels are more challenging and far greater in size than the original version. The characters are more intelligent, quicker, and pack far more heat in "Halo 2." The most important, and exciting upgrade is the ability to wield two weapons. Now you can charge the opponent like Rambo taking no prisoners. According to IGN.com, Xbox's gaming website, "every h it of hype "Halo 2 " receives is deserved, and once you play it, you'll be pressed to agree." The hype is real! "Halo 2 " picks up right where Halo left off, adding some interesting plot twists. The most appealing aspect of the game is the immense carnage that you control. I am confident that there is enough fire power in "Halo 2 " to blow President Bush right out of office. This game is a masterful rendition of the original version. A fter playing almost non-stop, with the exception of the classes I was forced to attend last week, I can honestly say, "you may be inissing class." In fact, I plan to call in sick to work this weekend and continue my journey through the seemingly endless virtual worlds in an attempt to save the human race. The fate of mankind is in my hands; I am sure my place of work will understand this perilous dilemma. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The open forum, attended by 27 people, was thefirstof three open forums that will be hosted by Associated Students, Inc. (ASI). ASI President, Manal Yamout, asked Haynes for an update on the situation. Haynes stated that the university is working to put an ad hoc task force in place to review campus policing practices, and has hired an external investigator to investigate the formal complaint filed by Williams against campus police.

CSUSM students give back Different opportunities around campus to donate this holiday season BY TIFFANY LIU Pride Staff Writer Despite the stress the holiday season can bring, for many this time of year is also a time of giving and sharing. Several CSUSM organizations are reaching out this season to help those in need. Currently, CSUSM's College Republicans are conducting Operation Donation. Operation Donation is a holiday drive to support wounded soldiers from Camp Pendleton who are arriving at military hospitals. The goal of the drive is helping soldiers through recovery and giving back to the men and women who have risked their lives for our country. Donation items can be dropped off at Craven 4116 until December 23. Suggested donation items are: nonperishable foods, DVD's, batteries, phone cards, books, magazines, Game Boys, Domino's Pizza gift certificates, towels, wash cloths and any hygiene supplies. CSUSM Academic technology services is currently holding the annual Bree Tinney auction in order to raise money for the Bree Tinney memorial scholarship. Items donated are auctioned off to raise money. The money goes to fund scholarships that are not endowed with enough funds. The auction runs until 12 p.m. on December 9 and can be accessed at http://www.csusm. vol.xiino.13 TUESDAY, N OVEMBER 3 0,2004 The facts about arrests on campus BY WILL LEMON Pride Staff Writer During the latest wave of protests on campus, demonstrators continued to claim racial profiling in the CSUSM police department, often citing arrest information printed in the San Diego Union-Tribune in comparison with CSUSM enrollment data available on the schools website. Using data provided by the campus police department and campus registration information, the Pride has the figures for your comparison. The arrest data cited in the Tribune said that "out of 174 arrests on campus since 2000, more than half arrested were white, 35 percent Hispanic and 5.7 percent AfricanAmerican." This information mirrors the summary percentages provided by the campus police. Further examination of the police data shows a sharp rise in arrests in the 2003-2004 year. Between 2000-2003, the CSUSM police department made a total of 59 arrests. From Nov. 2003 to Nov.2004 the CSUSM police department made 115 arrests, nearly twice the amount of arrests made in the previous three years. "The number of arrests has significantly risen since the opening of the Resident hall on campus," remarked CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller at the data. Data from November 4 2003November 4 2004 shows that whites comprised approximately 52.5 % of the student population and 51.3 % of the arrests.

During the same time period Hispanics comprised approximately 19.2% of the student population and 34.8 % of arrests. African-Americans comprised 2.8% of those enrolled and 7.8% of the arrests on campus. "We come in contact not just with students but also with members of thé local community," said Lt. Miller in response to questions about the racial/ethnic makeup of arrests by the CSUSM police department. Miller said that the racial/ethnic make-up of campus police arrests were fairly close to the racial/ethnic make-up of the community. Registration statistics about race/ethnicity are derived from information gained at the time of enrollment, where a student self selects their racial/ethnic background. According to Miller arrest racial/ethnic information is obtained by officers selecting a category after asking the suspect their racial/ ethnic background. Note: Police data categories were White, Hispanic, Black, Asian, Asian- Indian, and Hawaiian. FORUM, from page 1 reduce the charges against Jason Williams," said Haynes. Haynes also stated that if the external investigator were to uncover a problem with a particular officer or officers practicing racial profiling on campus, "An officer could be let go." Other students expressed concern that students might be hesitant to file a formal complaint against the police, since the form has to be obtained from and submitted to the police. Leonard characterized the process as "unsafe" and "intimidating."

For comparison purposes police data categories of Asian-Indian and Hawaiian were grouped under 'Asian/ Pacific Islander'; plaints need not be signed. "They (the police) can investigate an unsigned complaint," Haynes said. A review by The Pride of the campus police web site found only an email comment form—not the formal complaint form—was available on line. When asked by student Steven Zamora if she felt that "aggressive policing" was better than community based policing for our campus, Haynes wasn't willing to sanction the use of the term "aggressive" in relation to campus policing methods. "I'm not willing to say that all of our policing and methods are not appropriate," said Haynes. Haynes explained that the task cans of food were donated.

They could be white. Or black. Or brown. Male or female. Blond or brunette. Student, faculty, or staff. Seventeen or twenty-eight or fifty-two. They might know they're infected. They might not. It could be the person sitting next to you, or the one sipping a latté at Kellogg Café right now. You would never know by looking at them that they carry the human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, a virus that ravages the host's immune system. When the immune system can't fight off even the lowliest of infections anymore—bugs that live all around us all the time that a healthy immune systemfightsoff easily—the disease is reclassified by the acronym AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV is transmissible via straight sex, anal sex, oral sex, needle sharing and blood transfusion. Wednesday December 1 is World AIDS Day. It will receive a short mention in the local paper and on the evening news, but this article and an HIV/AIDS information booth planned by Student Health Services on Kellogg Plaza from 10:30 to 2:30p.m. will be the only acknowledgement on the CSUSM campus of the global pandemic that is infecting six new people in San Diego County every day. Eleven campus student organizations were contacted by The Pride-American Indian the red ribbon is for any more, and celebrities haven't worn them on the red carpet in years. But AIDS is alive and well in San Diego County.

The book was released in September but I have anticipated reading this collection of memoirs since the Lakers lost to the Pistons in the NBA Finals in June. The book is Phil Jackson's journal that he kept over a year's time. It starts with his first entry coming on July 11,2003 as he is heading to his home in Montana. He talks about the annual spiritual journey that he Wfcat is about to embark on in order to get away from the hectic NBA life that he leads. In this first entry he writes about his excitement when he receives word that the Lakers are about to sign Gary Payton and Karl Malone. Not much longer into this entry he writes about a conversation with Mitch Kupchak, the Lakers General Manager, regarding the news of Kobe Bryant and the accusations that Kobe raped a young woman. With that first entry you see that there is going to be a roller coaster of emotions throughout the book. With so many different events that occurred during his tenure as coach of the Lakers, Phil had plenty to write about in his journal and he certainly wasn't worried about offending people. The book is organized into twelve chap- if F m pre^wfl^ • v. * 'I m a k e i nformed, h ealth _ a » JSll c onfident c hoices 277 S* R a n c h o S a n t a H H H l San Marcas, i more info? birthchoice.net llgianswers, real help ters with each one containing different insights into what really happened behind the scenes of the Lakers dynasty. One of the major topics in the book is the personality conflict and fight for power between Kobe and Shaq in which Phil reveals just how childish their squabbles were. Another topic that comes up quite often is his analysis of his relationship with Kobe Bryant and the tension that resides with the two of them. Phil also discusses many controversial topics that involve the NBA and where he thinks the state of the game is going. However, throughout the whole book he primarily tries to focus on what happened during last season. Phil constantly discusses the slow implosion of his team as they gradually fall apart whether it be by injury, lack of effort, or out of spite for one another. He continually writes about the different methods he attempts in order to get his team to play together. He tries reverse psychology telling his team they can't do something, automatically making them want to prove him wrong; he tries guilt by making them feel like he is let down by their performance; he tries meditation making them focus on being a team rather than a bunch of individuals. However, with all of his work trying to get them to act like a team I found it funny that when Phil refers to the his team he doesn't use unifying words such as "Us" or "We", he always refers to them as "The Lakers", creating a separation from them which in my mind doesn't say much about him trying to create a team atmosphere. In chapters eight through eleven Phil writes in his journal during the playoffs. When reading these chapters I couldn't Photo courtesy of The Penguin Press help but think to myself, why is he writing in his journal during this time when every second of his time should be devoted to practicing, studying, preparing or something to help his team advance in the playoffs. Then as I continued to read on he quickly answered my question as he soon details that practice won't help his team due to their own individualistic attitudes. Not even Phil Jackson was able to find an answer for the Lakers which definitely tells you something when you consider he is one of the greatest coaches to ever walk court side. I recommend this book to you as it is one of the best sports books I have read and it will certainly give you a greater admiration for your family or coworkers.

Dreams of being a Polynesian/Jewish Whitney Houston have eluded me, leaving me in the outskirts of my hometown of Oceanside, singing in filthy bars to a group of howling friends, egging me on to do The Robot. Karaoke is this sick fetish for those inclined to pretend they are a superstar. Freaks, weirdoes, and Michelles alike can all be found at these places of prestige. The Alley. Smitty's. Coyote Bar and Grill. Heck, come on over to my house and bring your favorite CDs. Let's make a night out of it. I recall a semester or so ago there was a fraternity or sorority something on campus that had an open karaoke barbeque. Pure genius. There was a young man who sang his heart out. He had no crowd to cheer him on, no beer obviously, and yet he was this karaoke sprite, asking for nothing but a chance to finish his song. People walked by, ignoring the fact that the young man was flexing his "hip-to-be-square" mentality. You want to talk about the right to be heard? A right to information? Students that night had a right to know who the campus idiots were. Had I known this function was going on, I would've changed my schedule to be a part of CSUSM karaoke barbeque/mixer something history. My life is full of books and serving overpriced coffee. Sometimes a girl like me needs an outlet. A release. A form of expression. Chasing around older men gets, well, old. If Karaoke is a sport, these are the rules: two teams. One team is the group of individuals who are most definitely feeling the funk, that is, spirited, a.k.a. drunk. These people take to the stage and are dead serious. Some have flunked out of the church choir, are actual singers whose careers have taken a detour, or have what I like to call "shower time talent," looking for a contract. The second team is the team I currently play for. Strictly for laughs. Oh, but the game face must be on. Your friends know you're joking, but the crowd has to really believe it and feel it. There is one catch if this is to be Extreme Karaoke. You must do it stone sober. Otherwise, you may take it too seriously which could take you out of the game or you may be possibly swapped for a player from the first team. Savvy? This is definitely not to say that you can't baby-sit a cold one all night, but you have to be ready for game time. No slurring, just ultimate Karaoke. I take this game seriously. Just like professional bowlers have their own balls, I have my signature song, "Superfreak," by the late great Rick James. I've done that song in addition to my own intergalactic planetary robotic seizure dance. The crowd loves it and I'm sure Mr. James would too. I have the intention to go to the sleaziest Karaoke bars in North County and work my way down to the famous Piano Bar that was in the movie Top Gun. I hope that on a Friday night, you shake off that odd little nugget called self-respect and join in on the healthy destruction of some really good songs. Anyone who wants a challenge, just bring it unless I've met you and it's already been brought. Oh yeah, baby. I've got big dreams for Extreme Karaoke. Big dreams.

I know I have done it countless times and I'm Is it me or is it hard to stay focused late into the semester? Throughout my college career I have found it hard to stay focused as the semester goes on and on and. No matter what semester it is, spring or fall, I always find a way to hit "the wall." At the start of the semester I'm all gung ho about my education. I study often, read the material in advance, highlight things—all that fun stuff that is supposed to make you a good student. Eventually I learn how my professors and classes operate then my mind works in a different less efficient way. Instead of doing sure some you have too. I have some tips to help with things the easy way, Ifindways to make the classes and the semester staying focused and to get a lot harder. I see if attendance is through the semester.

When I called the Student Technology Help Desk and asked how many Mini DV Cameras they had total, the response was 11, and that they believed four had permanently been checked out by professors which brings us down to the whopping grand total of seven Mini DV Cameras. These seven cameras are fair game; they are free for any student on the CSUSM campus to check out just like books, and you are also allowed to re-check out these cameras upon returning them. I find it hard to believe that seven Mini DV Cameras are enough to support the Comm majors enrolled in these new classes. The projects in these new classes are film projects, which require the use of a video camera. If you don't have a friend who'll let you borrow his or her video camera and your attempts to check one out from the Student Technology Help Desk were unsuccessful you're screwed. So Comm majors get ready to ask for some extensions because there is a very good chance you are going to need them. Dear Editor, I wanted to respond to the people who wrote the editorials regarding graffiti. It appears I was the only one who wrote in that was for the graffiti. They argued against it because it was abusing the idea of free speech and because the offenders were spreading lies. Well I still feel the way I did before regarding the action but my new problem is with this idea of lies. Who cares if they spread lies? Who is so foolish that they trust chalk on the ground? The problem is not with the people who spread the lies but with people that believe the lies. Of course, a group is going to bend the truth to get their way this should be apparent to every breathing person. It is up to the individual to be critical of all they are told. I am tired of the lazy attitude people have on thinking for themselves. They want to live cycles of working, sleeping, and watching television. They want to use as little of their brain as possible throughout the day. This is why most people voted for Bush because they want someone to lead their government and their life. It reminds me of the period following the First World War when people became so disillusioned with the idea of reason and science they looked for Nietzsche's Superman to come and lead them. This of course led to such great (sarcasm) leaders as Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler. Nowadays people have again become disillusioned with the ideas of critical thought, reason, and the individual. Therefore, they again are looking for a superman to come and lead them to some kind of glory and are it not funny that the citizens of America chose George W. Bush to be their superman. Since the election for Pope of the United States, I have begun to ask myself many questions. Has the world I live in always been this sheepish and afraid and I have only come to realize it now? Or is it a recent change? Is this the third great awakening or worse, the predawn to the Orwellian life of 1984? I personally have given up on you my fellow man and our society in a whole but I do wish you good luck in deciding what I should think and what I should believe. Post Script: Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast members our in every aspect of our campus life (ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even heard that Zack Morris (Erik Roper) was gone yet he still gets the number one spot on the editorial page. We students, who do not care about these same 10 peoples lives, need to write in more and demand something different. Sincerely, Weston Rogers Senior, History major, and a member of the Depopulation Cooperative. I am writing to you about the current issues surrounding the so called "moral values" and the "sanctity of marriage". My 72 year old father recently went to Russia and brought back a young woman to marry, the same age as his children. Our society will let any combination of a man and a woman get married regardless of its moral values; yet, they will not allow homosexuals to share in the financial, emotional, and committed benefits of marriage. Homosexuality should be treated as any other minority in the United States. For some reason our society can not look past their heterocentric views and extend the rights to homosexuals that are extended the rest of the society. Not long ago there were miscegenation laws prohibiting marriage between members of different races. Did the world stop spinning when those laws were changed? No; and, the world will not stop spinning if they allow homosexuals to marry either. In a sense, what the American society is doing by discriminating against this misrepresented group of people is itself a form of a hate crime. I find it very disturbing how many religious sectors of our society get to make the rules that affect the lives of those not belonging to their congregations. Whatever happened to the separation of church and state? Why can't our society let homosexuals attain the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that their heterosexual counterparts are allowed to pursue? Why do they allow marriages like my father's to be validated and not the unions of the loving relationships of millions of American citizens, your brothers, your sisters, your aunts, your uncles, your sons, and your daughters..., who happen to be homosexual? It is not time that changes things, it is people that change things. Ann Kirkendall Senior, Liberal Studies major Regarding the recent storming of President Haynes' office on November 10,1 have one question: don't you all have anything better to do? President Haynes has to run this campus, she shouldn't have to waste her time on matters like this. Instead of thinking up new schemes to grab attention, maybe you should focus on encouraging the wronged student to exhaust all the correct channels before interrupting the president. Was the affected young man even present in the storming of the president's office? The whole event reeks of 'publicity stunt' rather than 'truly concerned'. On another note...last Thursday there was a Veteran's Day ceremony held at CSUSM which was attended by numerous students, faculty, and family members. The event spotlighted the current reserve and active duty military members who are students among you, several who are veterans of the war in Iraq. Regardless of one's views on our current administration or the war in Iraq, respect for those who have died in past wars should not be a fad. Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of? What really bothers me is how many students who don't support our veterans took advantage of the free BBQ given out after the ceremony.

J. M. Barrie's (Johnny Depp) play is bombing miserably on opening night, and we soon learn his marriage isn't faring any better. Barrie heads off to the park the next morning with his gargantuan dog, looking for inspiration for his next tour de force, when serendipity brings him and the widow Sylvia Llewellyn Davies (Kate Winslet) and her family together. Davies has four young sons with whom Barrie has more in common than any of his contemporaries, and with Barrie's imagination and the boys' willingness to suspend disbelief, they set out on all sorts of fantastical imaginary adventures. Davies' son Peter (Freddie Highmore) lends his name to the boy who never grows up, and several moments in the film foreshadow other moments and characters that will make their way into Barrie's script for "Peter Pan." Johnny Depp is exquisite as ever, and his Scottish brogue is sweeter than Sean Connery's real one. Kate Winslet plays Davies to tear-jerking perfection, and outstanding support is given by Julie Christie as Davies' mother, and Dustin Hoffman as J. M. Barrie's patient theatrical producer. Director Marc Forester ("Monster's Ball") brings the lushness of Edwardian London Photos courtesy of Film Colony Production / The Pride to the screen, and elicits outstanding performances not only from his cast of awardwinners, but from the children, as well. Especially remarkable is young Highmore as Peter, who mesmerizes with his performance. As J. M. Barrie once said, "Young boys should never go to bed. They wake up a day older, and before you know it, they're grown." Go see "Finding Neverland" and you'll never want to go to bed, either (and not just because it's finals week). A little too shady It s time to get over Kim BY SCOTT PHILLIPS Pride Staff Writer Eminem's latest CD, "Encore" fails to impress me after building his career on controversial lyrics. On Eminem's 4th release his lyrics just sound goofy. "Cause I'm what you wanna be/ So you just look like an idiot/ When you say these mean things cause it's so easy to see/ You're really just a big weenie (big weenie)." It's hard pulling up next to somebody on the road and bumping music like this. I'm not afraid to admit I used to listen to Eminem when he first came into the game with the "Marshall Mathers LP." However, after I listened to "Encore," I felt myself wanting to hear something new. He needed to take new strides in rapping with fresh material. "You are the ink to my paper/What my pen is to my pad/The moral, the very fiber, the whole substance of my rap." I wish I could tell him he needs to get over Kim, who is a prime target in many of his songs, and WW realize there are plenty of other females in the world. It seems like everyday he changes from hating her to loving her. He also needs to stop rapping about the "8 mile." I think by this point, after many CD's and a featured movie, we know that Eminem grew up in Detroit's ghetto, with a dysfunctional family. What Eminem is original in is that he has become very apologetic in his later years. Instead of creating beef, which is why he is famous, he apologizes to everyone from Christopher Reeves to Photos courtesy of Shady Records Ja Rule and Benzino. His songs are a lot better when he, excuse my language, starts shit with people. I don't really dig seeing Eminem's emotional side. Where this CD excels and becomes somewhat worthy is that many of the beats produced by Dr. Dre, Em's mentor, come off really strong. Songs like "Rain Man," "Mosh" and "Never Enough" all have that million dollar touch that Dr. Dre knows how to produce. Maybe it's because I'm a few years older than when I first listened to Eminem, but I can't groove with what he says anymore. I'm not a hater though. I have to give props to any thirty-twoyear-old rapper that can still make lyrics and beats from belches, farts, vomiting, and diarrhea. At the end of the day it's all about how you pay your bills, and I'm sure Eminem's "Encore" will more than help him with that task. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It is anticipated that the Reading Room will be a multi-purpose room into the foreseeable f uture," said Stakes. The goal is to bring back the traditional reading rooms of great libraries of the past.

Both had been Ivy's professors last fall before her accident. "I met Ivy when she took my GEH class. She's extremely smart, dynamic, and passionate. A person who has a real passion for life...always helping other students... she was about tolerance and teaching diversity. I hope to see her in class again," said Schaffman. Anover, Ivy's French professor, read a letter to her in French saying, "This is a tribute to your inner and outer energy.. .1 know you will be back soon." Jenna Wood from Alpha Chi Omega announced that her sorority would be making a holiday basket for Ivy and presenting it to her in the hospital.

The complaint forms previously provided by the Student Affairs office were from San Diego State University, according to Dean of Students, Jonathon Poullard. Unfortunately, they were not the same as the Citizen Complaint forms provided by the Cal State San Marcos' University Police. Located on the bottom of the citizen complaint form from University Campus Police there is a place for the complainant's signature below a warning which states, "It is against the law to make a complaint that you know to be false.

Students had mixed reactions when asked about the Reading room. "It'd be nice to have a place with couches to study," said freshman Francisco Quiroz. Upcoming Whiteness forum BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer "What is Whiteness?" is the potentially provocative topic of an interactive forum being held in Commons 206 on Thursday, December 9, from 11:30amlpm. Dr. Dreama Moon and students from her Comm. 450D class will stimulate thinking about white culture and what it means to be white through interactive activities designed to encourage attendee participation. "We want to provide an educational opportunity for people to think critically about whiteness and white identity in the U.S. context. In most discussions of race and racism, the notion of whiteness is noticeably absent. We believe that if we as a society are to eliminate racism and achieve social justice, then whites must j oin the conversation on race. This forum is designed to spark ideas about how one might do so," said Moon. "I haven't noticed the reading room," said Ryan Russell, a sophomore who often studies in the library. Adjacent to the Reading Room is a large outdoor balcony which is also currently o£f-limits. When asked if the balcony next to the Reading Room would be open for students, Stakes said, "I doubt that the balcony will be open during the day, it would probably be open during special events in the room." The balcony will also be furnished with donations. In addition to the balcony on the fifth floor there is a balcony on the second floor next to the open computer lab. Students are prevented from going out into that balcony by a sign that says "No Public Access." When asked, some students voiced concerns about not being able to use the balconies. "It's better to be outside," Quiroz said. "Students should be able to use the balconies. It'd be kinda cool to look out over stuff," said Russell. Stakes stated that the balcony will not be opened to students "Due to security concerns and risk management issues there are no plans to open the second floor balcony to the public at this time. Smoking on the balcony would be prohibited anyway under CSU regulations," replied Stakes when asked why students are not permitted to use the balcony to get fresh air or to smoke. CSU regulations state that smoking is not permitted within 15 feet of any building. The security reasons cited pertain to book theft and other similar concerns. There are also three instructional labs in the library which are unavailable for general use by students. Like the other instructional computing labs on campus, Tuesday, December 7 2004 1 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride The balcony (above) and Reading Room (left) on the library fifth floor. these labs are to be used by instructors for classroom teaching and library research instruction. They can be reserved for use by instructors. "The labs are used for both instruction of students in how to use the library, and Photo by Daniel Lowe / The Pride for conducting workshops for library faculty and staff. In the f uture they could be used for other university training," said Stakes. More information about the library can be found at http://library.csusm.edu/ about/.

Information was presented about current projects the university police are implementing including Rape Aggression Defense (RAD), Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS), Homeland Security Projects, the Emergency Operations Center and the California State University Critical Response Unit. The presentation included the departments many policies and procedures for filing a compliant against an officer and requesting information on certain events and citations. Facts about the four types of crime, crime prevention, safety and emergency tips were also given. Data about campus police reports and the number of arrests made by campus Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard police was displayed. These statistics showed that the number of police reports had nearly tripled since 1999. In 1999 there were 157 police reports filed and this number jumped to 467 in the current incomplete year o f2004. A fter the presentation sociology Professor Edwardo Portillos moderated a question and answer session where the main issue raised was racial profiling. Many in the audience, which included students and faculty, expressed their concern about the subject, due to recent events. "When I approach the driver I j ust pulled over for a traffic violation, my concern is my safety and my officer's safety, because you don't know who the person is, if they're stable or not and/or what they have in their car. I had a partner who pulled over a driver at two in the morning and he got shot," said Woodard. "I absolutely do not tolerate racial profiling. I discourage the practice among my staff," said Schultheis. "Once an arrest has been made, what is the university's role in deciding to charge a crime?" asked Professor Anne Lombard. "It's the police officer at the scene's decision whether to charge the case as a felony if it can be proved. However the DA can then decide whether to drop the felony to a misdemeanor," responded Schultheis. A fter the forum had concluded, Lombard said she felt surprised that university officials would not become more actively involved after the arrest of a residential student in deciding whether to charge him/her with a felony. "If I were a parent of a child at a residential college, I would probably expect a dean or some comparable person, other than an inexperienced campus security officer, to PC SD PSYCHIATRIC CENTERS AT SAN DIEGO Depressed?

On Thursday December, 2 at 3 p.m. the second forum was held at the Clarke Field House in the Grand Salon. The same three members of the CSUSM Police Force attended the forum. Schultheis said the primary goal of the forums was to produce "awareness of who we are and what we do." A fter the introduction of the officers, Chief Schultheis led an approximately 25 minute PowerPoint presentation discussing the CSUSM Campus Police which closely followed the presentation given at the previous forum. In this presentation he supplied information regarding the perimeter of the department's jurisdiction, the demographics of the CSUSM Campus Police Force and the training that police officers must undergo to obtain position on the CSUSM Campus Police Force. To end his presentation Schultheis displayed statistics about police reports and arrests f rom years 1999-2004. Woodard referred to the statistics as "skewed" due to the fact that the statistics also displayed arrests and reports that had occurred outside of campus. A fter the presentation another question and answer forum was mediated by Professor Portillos. The discussion was opened up by Fil Knoff, President and CEO of a San Diego marketing company. Mr. Knoff and his wife reside two blocks from CSUSM, on Rush Drive. The couple told the story of how their mid-30's, lawyer son was pulled over by Campus police on Twin Oaks Valley Road. They said the officer's reason for the stop was the placement of Mr. K noffs son's temporary registration permit on his vehicle. They said the officer who made the stop proceeded to take Mr. K noffs son's wallet, questioned him, patted him down, and made him take a sobriety test. The pair claimed that Mr. Knoff ended up coming down to the scene before the officer released their son, but without returning his wallet. Mr. and Mrs. Knoff were thanked for coming forward and then invited to file a formal complaint. Several students and other San Marcos residents came forward to express similar instances they felt constituted a pattern of police harassment. One San Marcos resident told a story of how he was arrested and his car was impounded for an expired registration. "Give me a call and I'd like to look into it," responded Schultheis. Sociology Professor Sharon Elise and a female dorm resident expressed their concern for the scrutiny that dorm residents were feeling from Campus Police. Elise also expressed concern over citations given to drivers at the crosswalks of CSUSM. These concerns were responded to with what appeared to be the popular response for the session, "we'll look into it." Once again audience members voiced concerns about racial profiling. Assistant Chief of Police Aaron Woodard expressed his interest in this question and passionately assured the audience that he himself, an African-American, would not allow racial profiling on his police force. " I've been black a lot longer then I have been blue and I am sensitive to discrimination issues," said Woodard. The event concluded by all three officers expressing interest in having annual police forums in the f uture, and encouraging the community to participate in upcoming forums.

Closed Shops online: www.csusmbookstore.com �VARIETY THE PRIDE Make your own T-shirt STORY AND PHOTOS BY DANIEL LOWE Pride Staff Writer Make your own Vintage T-shirt Retro is cool. Vintage T-shirts are in. Statement tees are all over the place. They indicate a rich personal history and a spirit of authenticity. But really, how authentic are they? How many of you are wearing that "Beaver Lake Lacrosse" T-shirt, but have never played lacrosse and never even heard of Beaver Lake? How many of you have seen that "Relish Today, Ketchup Tomorrow" T-shirt and thought you could make up something funnier? Rather than pay $15-$25 for a T-shirt that you could probably make yourself, try and go for it. Make it yourself. With an ink jet printer, a plain T-shirt and a sheet of T-shirt transfer paper, you can make your own vintage looking T-shirt for a lot less than the ones found in stores. Whe£ someone asks you, "Where did you get that T-shirt," you can tell him or her, "I made it myself." Here's how to do it. Materials: The first thing you need to do is get the right materials. Locate an ink jet printer. If you don't own one yourself, ask a friend to borrow theirs. Next you'll need a Tshirt. Depending on what style you like, you can get them in a number of places. Ringer tees look the best for vintage Tshirts but plain T-shirts can look good also. Footloqjcer sells 5 plain T-shirts for $20. Go to Staples or any office supply store in the paper section for T-shirt heat transfer paper. If you want to print on a light colored T-shirt, you can purchase the normal paper. They usually sell for approximately a dollar a sheet. If you are printing on a dark colored fabric, you will need to buy the opaque transfer paper. Dark fabric transfer sheets cost more, but you'll need them if you're making a dark colored T-shirt. T-shirt Design: Now that you have your materials, you will need to make your T-shirt design. Use any standard graphics program on your computer. If you don't have one, even Paint that comes with Windows XP will work. Locate a retro looking font on your computer. If you don't have one, there are plenty of free font sites on the Internet. You'll also need some sort of graphic. If you can't draw your own, there are also retro clip art sites on the Internet where you can find a good graphic. Use only one or two colors for your t-shirt. Make them match your T-shirt. Dark red on a pink Tshirt looks good. Put your Design on the T-shirt: Now that you have a design, you need to print it out. Be sure to set your printer on reverse or "mirror" image. Print a test on a normal sheet of paper before you print out your design on the transfer paper. Cut out your design carefully. Follow the instructions that came with the heat transfer sheets. A few tips: 1) Iron over the design with as much downward pressure as possible. 2) Go over the design multiple times. 3) Use a flat table; do not use an ironing board. Try your T-shirt on! If the first T-shirt didn't turn out as well as you would like, try again. You can make custom T-shirts for as little as $5 a T-shirt if you're good at it. Next time you see a T-shirt that says "South Dakota: Where my dawgs at," feel good that you're wearing a T-shirt that truly reflects your own individual style. �VARIETY THE PRIDE Tuesday; December 7 2004 Gift-giving guidance 2 H * compatable Waterproof mp3 player case BY RYAN JAMES Pride Staff Writer •M j WÈÊÊÈÊÈÉÈËÈËÈÊÊÊÊË mmmm^g • IH M Photos courtesy of ScotteVest Batteries not included Solar powered jacket BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer It's time to break the glass that surrounds that lit up red button that reads "Christmas shopping mode". Creativity and originality are traits that people tend to hone in on during the rigorous shopping season. Some gifts succeed and others get that "maybe you'll get it right next year" grin on Christmas Day. For some, avoiding that response could push prudence right out the door. If you're willing to drop about $500 this season on a friend or family member who is a gadget junky, look no further than the SCOTTeVEST 3.0. The 30-pocket solar power jacket is the first of its kind and it can house and power just about any gadget as long as it's Universal Serial Bus (USB) compatible—on the market including PDA's, MP3 players, Game Boys, cell phones and many other devices. Removable Solar panels on the back of the jacket convert sun light into energy which in turn allows a small central battery about the size of a deck of cards to power your gadgets. Direct sunlight is not required as the battery is fully charged within two to three hours. The pockets are arranged so that you may run headphones and headsets without exposing any wires. Pockets can be found all over the torso, shoulders and arms. It even has storage for bottles and hats. From wet to extremely dry, the SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can function in all weather conditions. Externally, it consists of a lightweight, water-proof and breathable material. Internally, there is mesh lining for cooling and an avail- able 12 pocket fleece vest for sustaining warmth. It comes in red, black and stealth and is available in virtually any size. SCOTTeVEST 3.0 can be purchased at scottevest.com or retailers such as Sports Authority, Mobile Planet, Spy Museum and Neiman Marcus. Alright, so you're searching for the ultimate Christmas gift. What are you going to buy your friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, or relative that'll make their holiday that much brighter? Well I have the answer; h2o Audio has produced water proof housing for both iPods and iPod minis. The water proof housing for the iPod and the iPod minis go under the titles of Sv-iPod, and Sv-imini. On ipodlounge.com they describe the Svimini as being "the first fully waterproof and submersible housing for Apple's iPod mini." If you're a surfer or a swimmer, you could not ask for a better Christmas gift then an iPod accompanied by a SviPod, or an iPod mini accompanied by the Sv-imini. Imagine sitting out in the ocean, waiting for a good wave, and listening to your favorite band, or how about swimming laps and rocking out while doing so, I really don't it think life could get much better. There Photos courtesy of is a catch though, Anders Steele the Sv-iPod is back ordered until March 14, 2005, but the Sv-imini is available now. Both the Sv-imini and the Sv-ipod run for the price of $149.95. Both products come with waterproof MP3 player housing, a waterproof headset and silicon earplug, secure latching and the products allow easy access to control the MP3's functions and are submersible up to 10ft/3m. So if you pretty much want to buy someone the best g ift ever the answers is Sv-iPod and the Sv-imini, trust me it'll be worth the wait.

This is my last column f or the semester and it could p ossibly be my last column with " The Pride". It hasn't been very easy to pump out a sports column every week since sports isn't the biggest of concerns on this campus. Since many here don't know the difference between a first down and a touchdown I have tried to throw in a lot of variety into my columns. I related sports to real life problems such as people trying to b e something they aren't; I tried to be somewhat comedic when I wondered which athlete would make a good President; I shared a very personal story when I wrote about Ken Caminiti; I even wrote entertainment reviews when I saw "Friday Night Lights" and read "The Last Season". One thing I have tried t o stay away from is just completely focusing on sports because a lot of elements in sports can easily b e related to real life. This semester has b een very different f rom the previous semester. I have b een criticized by our Ombudsman because Jason feels that I don't write enough about sports, " ...are we ever going to read about sports... I t urn to the sports page t o get your spin on things that are actually happening in sports." came f rom his column on October 1 2,2004. Basically my response to that was if you want t o get my "spin on things that are actually happening in sports" then go open up the "San Diego Union-Tribune" on a given day and read articles I write for them. In other words, I wanted t o make "Jock Talk" my own. Several weeks ago Jason learned the struggles of having a weekly column when he resorted to writing his column in limericks. He would later empathize with me the struggles of t rying t o appeal to our readership in a weekly column. So, if you t hink its easy filling a column each week for one semester, let alone two like I have, it certainly is not. I am glad to hear that Jason is coming back next semester because I t hink the feathers that he has r uffled need to b e r uffled a little more. That leads me into t hanking a few people who have helped improve "Jock Talk". Many times this semester I reached a point where I had n o topic in mind. T hankfully Scott Phillips joined the staff and helped me come u p with topics such as the Del Mar Race Track, Fantasy Football, and if I thought the Chargers could keep on winning. Jason Encabo added a new element to "Jock Talk" this semester as he is the one that found a picture or created an illustration to accompany my i llfi! Photo courtesy of Josh Sandoval / ThePride words. Finally, Eric Mercado, the Features editor who edited my column did a great j ob not cutting my column, allowing me to say everything I wanted to say on a weekly basis. The reason for the uncertainty around my return next semester is that I don't plan on taking the class due to an already f ull schedule. I would like to continue my column even though I am not enrolled in the class, but th^t decision is entirely up to the jtwo returning editors-in chief who are unsure about how the paper will change. Now to appease Jason and the rest of you who read this for sports I better actually throw some sports into this column. This semester I can compare " The P ride" staff to the 1997-1998 Chicago Bulls. O ur Ombudsman Jason is kind of like Dennis Rodman as he is probably the most controversial writer. Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan are the Jerry Krause of " The Pride" because they r un the show around here as the editors-in-chief. Our advisor Jenifer Woodring is like Phil Jackson because she coaches us when it's needed. The writers who don't have a weekly column are kind of like Steve Kerr, Luc Longley, and all the other role players on that Bulls team. Just like the Bulls, The Pride would not b e a success without them. I don't know where I fit into that team. I would like to think I am Michael Jordan because MJ did what he had to do to win and no matter what I find a way to do what I have to do to get a weekly column out there. Also, MJ retired on two different occasions only to return and dominate and like M J I don't know if I will return. So, who knows if this column is Michael Jordan's final game as a Washington Wizard or if it's my shot over Bryon Russell in the NBA finals to send "Jock Talk" into a short break and then return next semester?

Photo by Nicholas Tyerman CSUSM 8th in t he nation Cross-country team goes beyond expectations BY NICHOLAS T YERMAN For the Pride Nine members of the men and women Cougar cross-country team were in action at the N AIA National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky November 20. Kicking o ff the morning at 8:30 a.m., were the Cougar studs Jenni Johnson and Anne-Marie Byrne. On the muddy grass course these ladies showed amazing composure under tremendous pressure. Johnson ran 17:48 for the 5k (3.1mile) race placing her in fifth place, giving her AllAmerican honors while improving on her 8th place 18:06 performance f rom last year; giving Johnson the perfect ending to a senior season. Anne-Marie ran 18:41 for the 5k race placing her in 37th which improved tremendously on her 47th 18:55 performance f rom the year before. This was no easy task for a j unior who has made it her tradition to qualify to Nationals every year she has competed in college, which is a great accomplishment itself. A n hour later the men started their j ourney on the 8k (5mile) race that t urned into a muddy adventure for championship glory. Going in as underdogs since their ranking headed into the race was 17 out of 28 teams competing, the top 7 Cougar men toed the line not as individuals but as one unit, shall we say a family. Their pulses racing with excitement as the final seconds before the gun to fires seems to take minutes. Crack. With that single sound all the nerves disappear as business as usual begins for the Cougar men who make their way through the .competition of 252 other runners. A s the clock clicks over to read the time of 25:12 the first Cougar, Daniel Lyon, crosses the finish line in 12th place giving h im his first Ail-American honor only in his sophomore season of collegiate competition. Coming in 24th place Jesse A rmijo claims the last Ail-American honor of the day for the cougars finishing in a time of 25:30, giving this senior captain a moment that he shall cherish forever. Chris O 'Neal finished in an impressive 65th place in a time of 26:19 finishing out his senior year with a flash by out kicking the 66th and 67th r unner in the finishing chute by less than one second. Coming in next was the tremendous Cougar pack attack of Jace Getskow, Polo Mariscal, Phil H offman, and Tim Irwin. Jace finished in 138th place with a time of 27:07 giving this f reshman a f antastic season t o build on f or the next three years. Mariscal, only a junior, moved up great f rom the h alfway point of the race giving h im 162nd place with a time of 27:24. Phil H offman ran 27:35 giving h im a placing of 176th leaving this f reshman cougar hungrier for the next season to improve on his performance. Tim finished in 180th place with a time of 27:37 leaving this junior satisfied with his first trip to Cross-Country Nationals. The courageous performance by this Men's squad showed the nation that their 17th rank was f ar off by placing as a team 8th place in the nation. For such a young and inexperienced team the f uture looks bright for the years to come under the tutelage of Coach Steve Scott. �Tuesday, December 7 2004 THE PRIDE �OPINION T H E P RIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman I was going to do some sorta holiday theme, or 'the semester is over,' or 'finals are here/ or perhaps a 'stroll down memory lane' column. But, that sorta thing tends to be a Chinese water-torture of cliché that H i not submit you to. No need to make you wet while your areolas are stiff as boards from the cold. (Biology majors are the only ones that'll get that joke.) Better to think of this last little grey puppy as a season finale. Three weeks ago, I left this column with a cliffhanger. Would I receive 'Helios' and stay cm the jobfornext semester, or would I get a 'U-HauP and be told to take a hike? I know it's not up to par with an X-file biteyour-nails, can't wait for the next episode enticement, but it's not like I've got alien conspiracies to work with here. TRUST NO ONE! Sure 'nough, I got a stream of emails that all said 'Hello,' so I'm on the job. You com- plete me, and I'll be your Renee Zellweger. Just know, I'm not as cute and definitely can't shed the pounds like her. Either way, I was whip-id happy ya'll dig my tunes so I'm here to stay. (If you listen hard enough, you can just make out the cringes of the Pride s taff) I was so friggin' st(r)oked in fact, my head grew in size from your votes of approval and feeling empowered by the el/rection, I turned my 'aggressive criticism' on the Editors. You don't know what I mean cause that particular column, submitted for last week's issue, went the way of Mulder in the 8th season. Since I can't repeat the words in that column withoutfeeinganother 'editing decision,' I've emailed that article and correspondence on the matter to those readers that had sent me 'hellos.' If you'd like a copy, just tap my shoulder at nicho028@csusm.edu. Now, I hate to go on in this grey box about my little world, seems that's all most columns in this collection of tree-skins ever do. But, I'm running on faith here that you care enough 'bout this little grey box, to care what happened to it last week. After submitting my article, I had a fun-filled meeting with Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan, the Editors-in-chief, and they informed me in no-uncertain terms (my gluteus maximus is now a gluteus minimus) that theyfeltmy article 'grossly misrepresented' the Editorial staff. As such, they decided my 'opinion' was misleading and that I was not acting in the best interests of the readers. In fact, I was told that particular portions of my criticism of the editorial staff "has nothing to do with the J e£ders* / . f\ \ ; Obviously, I disagreed. I don't doubt they believed they were being loyal to the readers, or doing what was iii the best interests of the Pride. The funny thing was, that's exactly how I felt. I was given the option to "revise" my column or have it axed. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I'm suggesting I had to comprimise my principles or anything. I mean, I was given an 'option.' Now, it's their right to decide not to publish my column, since it's their butts on the line if this paper is ever sued for libel. I'm still wondering how my 'opinion' would have led to a suit, but I thought it fair you know the pressure they're under. In the end, I 'chose' to have the column axed. I'd rather not print, than print what others feel I should. What some might refer to as "bureaucratic manipulation?" Perhaps, in a hand-written issue of the Pride some time back? In advance of the question, "how does this relate to you the reader?" I'm gonna throw out the "C" word that rhymes with zensorship. As the Ombudsman, the lamest title I've had since Seaman (man-juice) and Petty (small) Officer, my job has been more than just getting you to giggle. Though, I'm tickled I make you laugh (with me, not at me!) I'm the reader's advocate, or so I'm told. The person that holds the newspaper to a standard of journalism that has wild notions of trust and integrity, as well as pertinence and quality You'd think some autonomy goes along with that notion. How else to trust that the Ombudsman isn't just taking the side of the newspaper? Perhaps, I was just being the miscreant that I've always tended to be when I conceived of a crazy little notion to 'aggressively criticize' those in charge of the Pride, after readers submitted the following throughout this semester: "I realize that I am not the only person that thinks some of the articles are asinine in their content." "you [the Ombudsman} are not afraid to call it [the Pride] what it is.. .crap." -Morgan McCorkle, email to Ombudsman. "ASI should reconsider student fund support for a newspaper that has major problems with its headlines." -Bob Dickey, editorial letter. (ASI doesn't fund the Pride by the way) "Students deserve better from the Editors of the Pride" -Jonathan Poullard, email to Ombudsman. "I strongly urge you [the Pride] to research your facts before printing them [articles]. Beyond misleading students it makes the Pride look unreliable." -Bryan I Watkins, editorial letter. "For the last weeks it seems that all you [the Pride] write about is Michael Moore. I want to know who makes the decision on what to write." -Carmelino Cruz, editorial letter, "Why is it that our school is like Saved by the Bell? What I mean is that it is the same 10 cast our [sic] members in every aspect of our campus life (ASI, PAN, Pride, Etc...). I even heard that Zack Morris (Erik Roper) was gone yet he still gets the number one spot on the editorial page." -West^ Rogers, editorial letter. "Not even one article in the Pride was devoted to the Veteran's Day ceremony. What was the Pride afraid of?" -Nathan Loomis, editorial letter. Damn, and I was trying to avoid a stroll down memory lane. Well, finals are here. The semester is pretty much over. Have good times on your Holidays. (Drip. Drip. Drip.) The End. .. .Or is it?

Fortunately for seniors, they are privileged with priority registration above the other classes; unfortunately for sophomores, because there is a first in line, there must also be a last in line. Some freshmen are preparing for this transition simply by dragging out their freshman status. By taking four classes instead offivein the spring of 2005, they are guaran- teed registration before many of their peers, at least for fall 2005. According to the CSUSM website, the projected enrollment at our campus is 11,000 students in the fall of 2012. In case you're wondering, no, I don't plan to be an eighth year senior, but if the faculty does not start making some adjustments to accommodate the annual increase of enrollment, registering for classes will become more and more of a headache. �12 Tuesday. December Dear Editor, Congratulations are in order to those of us to graduate this fall even if our own university is incapable of doing so properly. The Fall Grad Reception held November 30th at the Escondido Center for the Performing Arts was more like a Christmas party than a celebration for fall graduates. Five speakers were slotted to take the stage, one of which was our very own ASI president and non-graduate, Manal O PÏNTON 7 2004 Yamout. Manal not only failed Grad Reception was a secret, at her attempt to give the gradu- only mentioned to a select few ates some parting advice, but she - and the graduates of course. did so by prefacing her speech Most professors I've spoken to with an admission; she had no failed to receive any information idea what the graduates were about the reception. How many feeling. Unfortunately, she was professors would hpve apprecinot alone; nobody administering ated the opportunity to congratthe reception appeared to know ulate some of their students on what the graduates were feeling. a j ob well done? Furthermore, FYI: it was boredom with a touch how many graduates would have of distain. After the diminutive wanted their professors present at speeches, all that was left for the what might be their only graduagraduates to do was mingle with tion event? Apparently that's just fellow graduates, family, friends, another thing the administration and faculty. Wait; make that just overlooked. In the end, even if fellow graduates, family, and you could look past the lacklusfriends. It appears that the Fall ter PowerPoint presentation that Students, Bush won, Bush won... What can I say... 4 more years of George W Bush? Here is a Preview of coming attractions: war, tax cuts, inflation, declining value of the US dollar, rising tuition, rising gas prices, rising constitutional amendments, systematic elimination of our civil liberties and continued oppression on groups like the LGBT and Feminist community. But, at least we will be "safe." Is that all you Americans care about is safety? You have been scammed in to thinking that the terrorists are every where and they can decimate this country. This is America. We are the most powerful country in the world. We will not be killed by a few terrorists. You all seem to buy in to this fear. Don't you know that more than 15 times more people die from car accidents than terrorism every year? [Assuming we lost 3000 people every year] Do you realize we lose 60 times more people a year from smoking deaths? Do you realize you have a better chance of killing yourself than being killed by a terrorist? The lax envi- Churchill's Pub & Grille We're CSSM's Local Pub! Just minutes west of campus at 887 W. San Marcos Bl vd. Happy Hour every M~F from 4-7pm Free WIFI THE PRIDE scrolled through the names of the graduates and the horribly tacky centerpieces you still would not be capable of finding an inspiring moment during the whole 45 minute reception. That might be because the only real celebration our university has to offer graduates occurs in the spring. So, for those who finish in the fall, we are asked to keep May 15th open. Our administration requests that we simply look at the spring semester as a break and return in May to receive the congratulations we rightfully deserve. I might consider it after they apologize to all of the parents who attended the ronmental policies on air pollution make the air we breathe more dangerous than the suicidal terrorists themselves. Where is our War on Suicides, the War on Cancer, and the War on Alcoholism? Domestically these problems are a far grater than the threat of terrorism. Do you realize our current policy spends more money & time killing people rather than saving people? -1,200 Americans solders dead in Iraq; 15,000 Iraqi civilians dead. Wake up America! We need to question how we conduct our foreign policy. Although I agree we should keep an eye on terrorism, think about know how much we could achieve if we invested 200 billon or a fraction of that on safety for cars, smoking prevention, or on renewable energy. We would be saving a lot more live;s. These corporations are ripping off the government by overcharging for their services and the money is coming right out of your pocket. It is because of the powerful corporations lobbying politicians with millions of dollars, that we keep fighting the war. If there is no war to fight, there will not be any demand for the bombs, computers systems and tactical weapons. In this capitalistic society an industry will do everything they can do to stop others from cutting into their profits. This includes peace. My republican friends, I and most of us don't have a several billion dollar capital to invest to create solutions; we need the help of the government. I think it would be nice if "pro-life" people supported money spent to save lives not destroy them. I'm not talking about abortion or stem cell Check out these College Specials: reception expecting to see a shortened version of an actual graduation ceremony. Then again, I think most of us would just like an apology in general because to some, that was our graduation. I wonder if the administration gave that a second thought. Then again, they might have been more worried about whom to sucker into attending the event. Christina Polowsky 2004, Psychology research. Like you people say "as much as you talk, you are still killing a human life." Take a moment to think how much we value human life in war time. Do we have to listen to the constant echo machine of the media? We all know "hope is [NOT] on the way." Democrats, democrats what can I say. You are just as guilty as the damn rightists. Why did we support a guy who spent the whole time fighting as if he was going to lose? Is there an opposition party any more? He conceded immediately, and now we're "looking ahead." You guys better hope that the majority that holds complete power now doesn't cancel democracy and or declare martial law because they are in a position where they can take over the country. These are the cards we have been dealt. Now we can do one two things. We can fold and "cut our losses" like the Democrats have done. Or we can continue to -stand up like the majority of Americans, who didn't vote again, and raise a FIST not a thumb! We need a revolution. I will not stand by when our civil liberties are taken, discrimination is written in constitutions, and we continue to pile our national debt ($7,443,313,021,246.25 dollars and rising.) We can't give up now. We're too involved to just give up. If we give up, we will than continue to see more of the same in the next four years. We as students know that if we want something, we can get it by rising up. So let's do this. "We have only begun to fight." It's not over now. "Si se dice, será oido."

D.W. Jacobs adapted the Charles Dickens' story which is being directed by Todd Salovey. This year the cast is enthusiast, the sets are beautiful, and the music is festive. Imagine having the power to remember things forgotten in the past, to understand the present and see your future.. .do you think you would change anything? Ebenezer Scrooge (Peter Van Norden) is an angry old man who refuses to have any part of Christmas. Scrooge is rude to his family and his employees. He finds joy in money and pleasure in other's misery. One night Scrooge sees the spirit of his old friend and business partner Marley (Douglas Roberts) who warns him that he will be visited by three ghosts that will give him the chance to revisit his past, make sense of the present, and see what his life will be like in the future. Marley's costume is the most interesting part of his visit, his face and wrist chains both glow. When the Ghost of Christmas Past (Shana Wride) arrives she takes Scrooge on a trip back to his past. She takes him to his childhood and reminds him of things he used to love and of the people who impacted his life. This is the best part of this play. The sets are gorgeous and the music really puts you in the mood for the holidays. This would have been the perfect place for an intermission. The show plays for 90 minutes straight through with no breaks. It is hard to pay attention and sit quietly for that long. Next the Ghost of Christmas Present (Douglas Roberts) arrives and gives Scrooge the chance to see how he is currently affecting the lives of people. First he takes Scrooge to the home of his employee Bob Cratchit (Steve Gunderson) and shows him how his family still celebrates even though they are short on money and their youngest child is sick. Then he takes him to his nephew's house THE PRIDE Gwen Stefani: "Love. Angel. Music. Baby." BY PATRICIA GUEVARRA Pride Staff Writer 111:1. J 11 / Photo courtesy of San Diego Repertory Theatre where he sees a party going on with out him and the guests making jokes about him. Both houses toast Scrooge and include him in their celebration even though he chose not to attend. The Ghost of Christmas Present has the most amazing costume in the show and it's good because it gives you something to look at when the play looses your interest. Finally, the Ghost of Christmas Future (Trevor Hollingsworth) shows Scrooge that his future is non-existent and no one will mourn or miss him. The Ghost of Christmas Future is huge and does nothing but point. This is the weakest point of the play, which is sad because it's trying to convey the most powerful message. If you're still paying attention, you'll see that Scrooge's life is changed by the ghosts. He decides to redeem himself by undoing some of the wrongs he's done to change the present so the future will be different. Although this show has great intentions, it fails to deliver. If you expect to leave in the holiday spirit you will be disappointed. Decide for yourself, tickets can be purchased at the box office 79 Horton Plaza and students receive a 50 percent discount.

Gwen Stefani and Andre 3000 . . . what?! Yep, that's right. She's no longer crawling through her spider webs. Gwen Stefani's newly released solo album, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby", is a completely new sound for this ska chick. She really dives into some Hip-Hop, Dance, and even some Japanese Pop with techno beats making her almost like this generation's Dee-Lite. Imagine those 80s songs like J.J. Fad's "Supersonic" or some Cyndi Lauper tunes, that's what you're getting. This album features her collaborations with hip hop artists Eve, The Neptunes, Andre 3000, and even Andre's alter ego Johnny Vulture allowing her to exhibit her musical versatility. She even samples Notorious B.I.G.'s, "Big Poppa" (also sampled from Marvin Gaye) in her song "Luxurious." I never imagined hearing such a great Biggie track with Gwen's voice singing, "We're LUXURIOUS like Egyptian cotton. We're so rich in love were rollin' in cashmere." As for the rest of the album, I gotta be honest; the lyrics are like a flashback of Madonna's nightmare rap served with lattes. "I picture you driving just like Mario Andretti. I got the Kush, Kettle One, waiting for your engine," from "Crash," which was produced by her band mate Tony Kanal. I seriously had to take a double look and say, "what!? The lyrics aren't all there to make Gwen a hip hop artist. If you just listen to the songs, lyrics and beat together, it makes a good combination. I'm expecting to hear some of her songs played during College Night at the clubs. The last track, "Long Way To Go", produced and also performed by Outkast's Andre 3000, really made me excited. Stefani sings: "It's beyond Martin Luther, upgrade c omputer... If all men are made equal then she/he was fine." Her message about equality reminds listeners of Martin Luther King's dream, "children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by.. .the color of their skin.. .but by the content of their character..." Like I said before, this album is not your typical vibe from No Doubt's, Gwen Stefani. This album is about Gwen, the solo artist and her dance beats. If you can get past the lyrics, then this is a CD that you can't help but move to. Just remember, don't expect to hear some punk or ska.

Those beautifully choreographed moments where - for a split second - everything just seems to become clear and you realize that the life you are choosing to live is not as fulfilling as you had dreamed it would be. If you had not been in that place, at that time, with that person, you know that this epiphany would have never occurred. Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Hayden Church) decided to take a seven day trip to wine country in celebration of Jack's last week as a single man. The pair of old college roommates could not have been more different. They were close friends, but they lived completely different lifestyles. Miles went to Northern California to drink wine and play golf. Jack went to take advantage of his final opportunity to get laid before his upcoming wedding. The insecure, neurotic, and introspective Miles could be compared to the grapes that produce a fine Pinot - they can only grow in certain climates, have extremely thin skin, and are temperamental when exposed to the elements of the outside world. Jack, the womanizing, has-been Television star, is like a house Merlot - the grapes can thrive in any environment, regardless of rain or shine and the wine they produce has a distinct robust flavor that everyone recognizes, but is usually enjoyed in moderation. Writer-director Alexander Payne's fourth film (following "Citizen Ruth," "Election" and "About Schmidt") does an excellent job showing how these two men illuminate each others differences, but Photos courtesy of Fox Searchlight Pictures by doing this - they are able to recognize and confront the shortcomings in their own lives. Payne allows the audience the unique ability to see inside the characters and provides cinematic moments that provoke uncontrollable laughter and others that produce a quiet "ah-ha!" If instant gratification is what you seek in a movie, "Sideways" is probably not for you. But if you are willing to approach the movie as you would a vintage wine - cork the bottle, fill up one third of your glass, swish it around, inhale its distinct aroma -f all before you take that first fulfilling sip, then you will appreciate the wit, humor, and intelligence in this film. "Alexander" the not so great BY AMANDA JOHNSON Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Waruer Bros. Entertainment Inc. As Ptolemy (Anthony Hopkins) said, "All men will reach and fall," and so did the movie "Alexander." "Alexander" chronicles the life of Alexander (Colin Farrell), from his childhood years through his short life as king. His father, King Philip (Val Kilmer), is murdered when Alexander is barely 20 years old making Alexander his predecessor. As a young king with ambition, he leads his undefeated Greek and Macedonian armies through Persia and into India. He spreads his kingdom, but after his defeat in India, he leads his army home to Babylon, where his dies at the age of 32. Director Oliver Stone attempts to recreate Alexander's life as an interesting movie, but fails miserably. The threehour movie is filled with mostly dialogue and little action. The few battle scenes that are in the movie have music that sometimes feels a little out of place and offbeat. The beginning jumps between past and present so much that it becomes hard to follow. Although it is hard to chronicle a man's life in only three hours, a lot more could have been done so the viewer could follow along, or at least keep from walking out of the theatre. But to give some credit, the battle scenes were outstanding, if you could get past the music. The,details of blood and gore, with men losing legs and elephants losing trunks; was so realistic, rather disgusting to this writer, that one would have to be impressed with the people on the graphics team. The makeup of the war wounds was also very realistic, especially of a warrior and his missing eye. The details put into the movie on graphics and makeup far exceeded the plotline, which itself was very dull. Beside the fact that Olympias (Angelina Jolie) never ages in the movie and her son does, she was mostly a believable | character. Kilmer does an impressive job as the drunken father, and Farrell wasn't too bad either. There were, however, a few scenes where an unnamed character in Alexander's army would speak up with what sounded to be a Scottish accent. Although this writer's history could be inaccurate, it seems a little out of place for a Scotsman to be in Greece. "Alexander" reaches hard to be a great movie with a quality cast, but the horrible plotline, boring dialogue and little action makes this movie fall to the bottom of the "wait for video" list. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Assistant Chief Woodard assumes interim role until replacement is hired Group projects are only as good as the person doing all the work. PowerPoint presentations alone do not substitute for real teaching. BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer In a move that surprised some, University Police Chief Tom Schultheis retired on December 30 ending his successful yet recently controversial reign as the top cop on campus. Assistant Chief Aaron Woodard was named interim chief until a replacement for Schultheis is hired in the spring. Schultheis had been with the now 15 officer department since 1998 and has overseen its operations during a time of substantial growth for the university. Schultheis was unavailable for comment at press time. Despite his accomplishments as chief, Schultheis leaves a legacy that was marred by the recent Always display your parking permit. Sit next to the most attractive person in class, he or she might be single. Question bureaucracy. Former CSUSM Police Chief Tom Schultheis allegations of racial profiling by his department prompted by the arrest of student Jason Williams last semester on October 20. While those allegations have yet to be substantiated, the department responded with a series of forums at the end of last semester that outlined the practices of the officers. Interim Chief Woodard plans to continue reaching out to the campus community with a series of initiatives designed to keep the policing process in the forefront "People don't know about our department," said Woodard.

Among the programs Woodard hopes will accomplish a better understanding of the role of the police officer on a college campus is Student Community Oriented Policing Effort (SCOPE). The SCOPE program will give insight to the students and the community into policing so as to dispel the "us vs. them" perception often associated with law enforcement. Other community based programs include bicycle licensing and Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) courses held periodically throughout the semester. CSUSM Interim Police Chief Aaron Woodard Beginning today January 18 and running through March 31, the Kellogg Library will be showcasing an installation entitled, "Commodore Perry and the Westernization of Japan." The exhibit features photographs and cartoons documenting foreign settlers in Yokohama, Japan during the 1860s.

My anxiety was at an all time high. The dental assistant came to take my X-rays and she must've sensed my apprehension because she kept asking me if I was o.k. I wasn't, but what can you say with those weird paper things in your mouth and a five pound lead bib across your chest. A half an hour later, the doctor came in. To my chagrin, my new dentist is a very handsome young man, Perfect, just what I need, a nice young gentleman poking around my well-rested mouth. But he was very kind and forgiving for my decision to take a break from dental care. He poked around my mouth, testing my gums for disease and apologized when his instrument made them bleed. The only thing I could look at was the ceiling while he picked at my sensitive gums. After the poking and picking was over, the dentist wiped the spit off my face ever so gently with a soft cotton swab and moved my chair to its upright position. Face to face with my charming new dentist, he informed me that my gums where in very bad shape, but can be fixed. A deep periodontal (gum) cleaning was necessary before he began working on the numerous cavities that needed to be filled and the root canal that needed to be^ well, canaled. Finally he would replace all of my current silver amalgam fillings with new clear cementfillingthat will last longer and look much better. He looked me in the eye after all of this and asked, "Are you O K? Did I go too fast?" Oh sweet doctor did you ever. I stumbled trying to find the right words to describe how I felt at that very moment. I knew I had neglected my teeth, I knew it was not normal to feel pain when eating or drinking.. But my fear of dentistry outweighed my rationality. I took a deep breathr and said, "I'm fine." I looked away from his adorable brown eyes to keep some of my dignity intact. He informed me that my mouth can be mended, I might lose a tooth, but it was only a tooth. I nodded in agreement feeling my face flush as he looked at the shame in my face. We set up two more appointments to clean my gums; we said our good-byes and parted ways. I tried to walk out the office with my head held high, I was embarrassed and relieved. I have a long way to go until my resolution is complete, and hopefully, my newfound respect for the dental industry will prevent me from needing another leave of absence from that dreaded chair.

From the co-director of "About a Boy," Paul Weitz, comes a comedic drama that reveals a story of two men greatly different in age together adjusting to changes in their lives. In thefilm,Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) and his much younger newly appointed boss, Carter Duryea (Topher Grace), find a common ground of understanding each other's lives through interesting experiences in and out of the workplace. As Duryea admires the idealistic family ties of Foreman, he finds affection in Foreman's daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson). This film can be equally appreciated for its comedic, as well as its dramatic aspects, leaving you with plenty, moments to laugh and cry. Topher Grace does a wonderful job of playing a young hot-shot finding his place in both work and his life. Grace's charisma is complemented by the subtly and veteran acting expertise of Dennis Quaid. And let's not forget the greatly talented and ciassy Scarlett Johansson, who plays key role in presenting the heartfelt side of the film's story. "In Good Company" entertainingly displays the story of 'finding your place in life' that I think we all can in one way or another relate to. Watch this film, you won't be disappointed.

Some of the glass fell on an unidentified female student sitting below the window. When officers arrived on the scene shortly thereafter she was taken to Student Health Services where glass was removed from her hair and clothing. Investigating University Police Officer Hernandez described the victim as being "very lucky" that she escaped serious injury or death as the average size of the larger shards of glass was "six to twelve inches in length".

First doctorate offered at CSUSM BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Cai State San Marcos now offers a doctorate degree in education. The Ed.D. in Education Leadership is offered through the College of Education. The degree is awarded in partnership with the Teacher Education program at the University of California, San Diego and San Diego State University. The program focuses on advanced training in research, professional practice, instructional practice and management within educational institutions. "The program is designed to be completed in three years, including the writing and defense of the dissertation. Each student designs a research study and during the initial two years of the program as part of the required coursework. We have designed the program to maximize the time the students have to study and engage in class work, as well as complete the dissertation. We believe the momentum of the program will strengthen the students' ability to complete the disser- Photo illustration by Jason Encabo / The Pride tation in a timely fashion," said Jennifer Jeffries, coordinator of the joint doctoral program for CSUSM. There are 18 students in the first cohort of the program. "With the inception of this program, Cal State San Marcos joins in the statewide effort to provide a deep pool of leaders who are intent on expanding educational opportunities and success for the K-12 students in our region. This program will enable the candidates to translate the best theory into practice. It reflects our on-going commitment to the surrounding educational communities," stated University President Karen Haynes. Cal State San Marcos is looking forward to joining other CSU and UC campuses in offering the Ed.D. in Educational Leadership. "This offering adds a new and compelling element to our academic mission. Our relationship with the K-12 community will be enhanced by providing this program. I look forward to seeing the contributions these doctoral students make to the body of literature about leadership, as well as to the practice of leadership in public schools," stated Cal State San Marcos Provost, Bob Sheath. The Black Student Union (BSU) along with Associated Students Inc. (ASI), the African-American Faculty/Staff Association (AAFSA), the Arts and Lecture Series, the Office of the Dean of Students, the Office of Student and Residential Life (SRL) and the Ethnic Studies program are kicking off Black History Month early with an event tomorrow, January 26, entitled "Introduction to Black History Month," in Arts 111 from 6-8 p .m.. In total there are eight events planned by the BSU and its cosponsors to celebrate Black History Month in 2005. The number of events this year is up from the five events held on campus last February. The President of the BSU Onyinyeh "Ruby" Udeh attributed the growth to an "increase in membership (in the BSU)... not because of the increase in the enrollment of African American Students at CSUSM but due to the interest and motivation of peers to celebrate with each other." Udeh expressed her goal of getting African-American students," to come together and share our thoughts and opinion on campus life," saying that she felt, "it would really make a great impact on our fellow achievers (students)." "The main thing I would want the students to do during these Black History Month events is to come out and enjoy themselves. I would like them to come out and celebrate the African Heritage nothing more, nothing less," said Udeh. Although the Black Student Union is the sponsor of this years activities, Udeh expressed gratitude towards and gave credit to the cosponsors of the event saying, "ASI, the AAFSA, the Multicultural department, our advisor Gezai, the Dean of Students Jonathan Poullard, SRL .... all have really given the BSU so much support and encouragement during all the planning of these events. They have really contributed a whole lot to make sure everything runs smoothly. Without these other organizations I don't know how the BSU could have done it."

Prior to 1976 Negro History Week was celebrated in the first week of February beginning in 1926. The Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (ASALH) determines the yearly theme for Black History Month. This year's theme is the 100 year anniversary of the beginning of the Niagara Movement. According to the Journal of Negro History, the Niagara Movement was founded by civil rights activist W.E.B DuBois in 1905 in Niagara Falls, Canada with the goals of winning voting rights for WANTED African Americans, ending school segregation, and electing officials opposed to racism and prejudice. The movement failed to win widespread support from blacks although many of its ideas were later adopted by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) when it was founded in 1909. In 1910 the Niagara Movement officially disbanded. For more information about upcoming campus events read the Pride.

The weight room is filled with modern equipment from free weights to cardio equipment. The workout areas offer not only an up-to-date weight room but also a room for aerobics, volleyball, basketball and other activities sponsored by the Associated Student Union. Classes are offered to students on many topics such as nutrition or stress management. "We offer an array of fitness and wellness programs for students, faculty and staff," said Devan Romero, the Field House Fitness Coordinator. Romero added that she would be interested to hear from students and staff on their desire for any particular health or wellness topic for a class. These well developed classes are designed to aid students in their college life and beyond. The Field House is hosting a Wellness Fair exposition on the 9th of March, from 11a.m. to 2p.m. The fair will have vendors, health resources, food and massage tables. Throughout March, they are holding wellness seminars that focus on specified subjects with guest speakers. Also worthwhile is the availability of spaces set aside for students to hold meetings or gatherings. According to the campus website, the Field House offers plenty of space for students to accommodate group meetings and banquets. The meeting rooms can be utilized by any group or organization, with students having priority booking. With the availability of catering, the Field House is a great place to hold meeting for clubs and organizations.

There really is too much empathy within this issue to enjoy the bubbles of my soap box, but the dirt has already worked itself in between my teeth. "They publish a new edition even when they don't have much (if any) new information.. .they include some workbook or cd supplement that you never use but that greatly affects price and re-sale." These sentiments don't fester out from only myself, or you, or even the cute butt at the front of the buy-back line; they come from the proprietor of our local off-campus bookstore. What, then, does it tell you when someone who earns their bread selling textbooks lambastes the practices of the very industry that supplies their wares? It means that you are to blame. No, not the publishers, not the professors, not those pesky renaissance guys; you. It was you who went to the campus bookstore instead of E-bay, or Amazon, or the off-campus bookstore, just because it was closer is faster is 'easier'. Actually, there's a very good chance that you had to park down in the dirt, in which case the walk to the other bookstore is probably closer by both geography and topography. So you, try saying this out loud: "I'm the reason textbooks are so expensive." Put on your sunglasses or other protective eyewear first. And even if you did spit it on the man by completely circumventing the campus bookstore, I bet you didn't send a nasty package to the publisher of your latest overweight text, which you know would be much sexier if they'd trim it down to only the chapters you'll read, and even cheaper to photocopy if purged of everything you won't remember after the class. I bet you also didn't ask your professor to do more than sigh and shake their heads at how expensive and under-funded the worms in the landscaping are. These educators are cool and on your side, and that doesn't make these books any cheaper. Make sure they tell you where to get these books at cheaper used prices. Make sure they say it's okay to not have your book till a few weeks into the class and in the meantime borrow it from someone else or lean against a dark corner in the book- store. Don't photocopy it, that would be as unethical as price gouging, and that might get you in trouble if anyone from the publisher was monitoring the photocopy machines. Most of all, talk to your class to make the class make the professor promise not to use any new editions for the next four years. This isn't a currently overwhelming opponent like oil or Wal-Mart or women who want to use contraception, this is just how many keeper books you could buy with the price of one you're hoping to return. This is a PC upgrade that will be offered free in another month, this is medicine that hopes to addict you. If you bought a book at campus/full Study Abroad, it's more than just traveling BY BRIAN REICHERT Pride Staff Writer Why not challenge yourself by studying abroad in a different country? Enrolling in the California State Study Abroad Program is as easy as ever. Joining the program consists of filling out a few applications and getting personal recommendations. After that, you can choose to study in such countries as Sweden, China, Australia, Mexico, or even France. Each year, there are more student foreign exchanges opening up in all parts of the world. Studying Abroad with California State has many other advantages as well. Not only does your home campus offer more support than any other system, but it's very affordable as well. A potential student only has to pay Cal State tuition and all financial aid that they are currently receiving can be applied to all expenses. Also, this is the only program that lasts two straight semesters, so students really have a chance to get acquainted with a different culture. Jan Stockey has the title of the Cal State San Marcos Study Abroad Coordinator, here on campus. She is in charge of networking, compiling and sharing important international information, and overall recruitment for future programs. In a recent interview she stated "Most of the students tell me it's the best decision they've ever made." After an informative conversation with the coordinator who greets everyone with a warm smile, she concluded saying that "students always come back and they have wonderful stories of Photo by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride price then return it, now. If you think you can look your professor in the eye ask them if they benefit in any way from the sale of a text, ask them if they'd be willing to aid a boycott. Buy that text used or not at all and think back to those days when the whole class got together and took that walk, somewhere between a field trip and a bathroom break, to get their textbooks from the library. Buy it used or not at all, or become a ranting English major who has that luxury every semester. And even if someone else is paying for them, especially if someone else is paying for them, the least you can do is extend a little courtesy to this ethereal someone's very tangible checkbook. the places they've seen, the great friendships they've made, and how much they've learned about themselves. Believe it or not, these are not marketing lines; this is the actual feedback that students give me every year. I have also had the chance to study abroad through Cal State San Marcos. I can definitely say that the whole experience changed my life entirely. I had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile. This sprawling capital is located right next to the Andes Mountains and I had the chance to both live and learn in a culture which is definitely modern but with many great customs and traditions. I encourage everyone to study abroad at least once in your college career. You will come back with different perceptions, ideas, stories and many international friends. A fter all, it's easier than you think and you never know about something until you experience it for yourselves.

After traveling abroad I have found that debt. A few years ago the dollar is increasingly Argentina one of the most powerful nations in South loosing its value. I have noted that the USD in Chile America, at that time lost has lost 22% of its value its entire economy, because the country went bankrupt. since October 2002, the trade deficit is growing at This occurred when they a dangerous rate, and the kept borrowing money thinking and trusting that national debt is around all 1 world countries would keep loaning them money. Finally at one point the bubble burst. I don't want this to happen to us. It's becoming scary that people are losing their confidence in the dollar. President Bush constantly says he "doesn't want to push problems to future presidents or the future generations," but what we don't realize is that many times, he is creating more problems than solutions. Last week we saw a set of extravagant victory parties for the elected President. I'm not saying that this president doesn't deserve an inauguration, but 50 million is a lot of money. According to Timothy Dwyer, Washington Post Staff Writer, "The inauguration is expected st to be one of the most expensive in history." They report that the cost to us tax payers for the 3 days of events will top 50 million. I think this a bit outrageous especially since we are in "war time." The last inauguration (2001) cost 40 million which is 25% more expensive that the inauguration in 1997. So during the next few years I want all of you to be skeptical of what Bush is trying to do for the country. Especially the fiscal conservatives on this campus, ask your self, is every thing this president done worth it? Has he eliminated terrorist activity or spawned a new breeding for extremist Muslims wanting to join Al-Queda? Is taking a go it alone policy going to help us in the so-called "War on Terror"? In every solution there are always positives and negatives, but this administration seems to really dismiss the negatives very quickly. Keep asking all politicians their plans, left and right. Ask them: Is this a solution, or does it just create a lot more problems? I personally feel many actions by this government will not be beneficial to us now, tomorrow, and in the future. But it takes more than just the opposition party tofixthe problem. We the people mustriseup and demand accountability or threaten these elected officials with their jobs in 2006. �THE PRIDE Tuesday, January 25 2005 i| %a mm P M WORK WHILE YOU ATTEND COLLEGE GROW WITHIN THE COMPANY Starting Pay $8.50/HR $9.00/HR after 90 days Excellent Pay Excellent Benefits Medical, Dental, Vision, Paid Holidays/Vacation Excellent Hours M onday- Friday WEEKENDS OFF!

Photos courtesy of Rogue Pictures BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer "Assault on Precinct 13" is a clash between a cop thriller, a morality tale and occasional humor. These genres work well together and the film gives them their moments. But it also employs an old and reusable storyline which I affectionately call "The Rio Bravo Syndrome." You'll know why in a minute. Precinct 13 is an old police station ready to be torn down. A stormy New Years Eve leaves two cops and a secretary on graveyard shift. When a prison bus transfer is delayed by a highway accident, they hold up at the precinct until further notice. But one of the prisoners is a notorious cop killer awaiting trial. Suddenly, a small army tries to invade the station supposedly to free the cop killer. The cops and the prisoners team up to defend the station and deal with traitors among them. See, almost identical to the plot of "Rio Bravo." The two cops are Jake Roenick > California Pre-Doctoral Program offers fully-funded internships, sponsorships to symposiums, and application/test fee waivers?

(Ethan Hawke), a former undercover cop where his command left two of two partners dead (he now drinks and takes pills to easy his pain) and Jasper O'Shea (Brian Dennehy), a veteran on the verge of retirement. The secretary, Iris Ferry (Drea de Matteo), has a turn on for "bad ass" guys. The cop killer is Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne), who always has a quick cool about everything. The other prisoners are Beck (John Leguizamo), a babbling drug addict, Smiley (JaRule), a street counterfeiter and Anna (Aisha Hinds), a criminal proclaiming her innocence. Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne) is the intelligent and ruthless leader of "The Facts Behind the Helsinki Roccamatios" the small army. French director Jean-François Richet, in his American film debut, knows how to use his characters. No one takes more screen time than they need to. Byrne can play any bad guy to its best, its all in his eyes. Fishburne can carry any film with just his presence. Hawke is no John Wayne, but playing the idealistic honorable cop once again (Training Day), isn't cliché or boring, just assured that he can do it and do it well. After seeing thisfilmand other recent cop films, such as "Narc," "Training Day" and "Dark Blue," the persona has changed; Hollywood has acknowledged the realism of being a cop. They are out of shape, have families that worry, struggle to pay the bills, cope with alcohol and risk their lives. For that, I am grateful.

While some students simply stick to the school cafeteria, many other options also abound and there is actually a wide range of great eateries in close proximity to campus. The first and closest restaurant you need to know about is Mr. Taco. Just a quickfiveto ten minute walk across the street, Mr. Taco is a must not only for its reasonable prices but also the fact that you do not have to lose a great parking space to go eat there. Most anything that falls in the A little further down the road on Twin Oaks Valley Road and just past the entrance for the Highway 78 is the Old Spaghetti Factory. Although prices are a step or two above those at Mr. Taco (most meals will run around $10-$20), the Old Spaghetti Factory offers a good sit ÉttÂËË category of Mexican food can be found at Mr. Taco, along with lots of fellow classmates. Plenty of available seating both indoor and outside makes Mr. Taco a nice place to have a casual meal with friends, plus fast service is helpful for those who need take-out for their tight class schedule. down atmosphere for fans of Italian food. The private booths that are prevalent at the Old Spaghetti Factory are excellent for small groups of friends, or even a little campus romance. Whether a simple meal is what you crave, or appetizers, salad, and desert as well, the Spa- Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride ghetti Factory is a good choice for each. The Old Spaghetti Factory can especially boast its wide range of pastas. As waiter and Cai State San Marcos senior Tom Watson notes, "everybody loves our spumoni and you can't buy it in stores!" If you don't mind a little drive, a whole host of notable restaurants can be found one exit west on the 78, off San Marcos Boulevard. The San Marcos Brewery and Grill, which is about a five-minute drive down "restaurant row" on San Marcos Boulevard, is a great micro-brewery to visit. Although the number of dishes available may not be as extensive as the Spaghetti Factory, the Brewery does offer a range of styles of food, including everything from hamburg- ers to pasta to salad and even seafood. Prices are comparable to the Spaghetti Factory, but the San Marcos Brewery does offer one thing other places near campus don't-their own beer. One brew of note is the Oatmeal Stout, which is a terrific dark beer and must for connoisseur on campus. Still, if something a little stronger is desired after a tough day of classes there are two small pubs across the street, Penny Lane and Churchill's, which are also worth a visit. Also on "restaurant row," and a good choice for lunch, is Submarina. A step above most common subsandwich chains, Submarina has a large variety of subs in three different sizes up to a foot long, with prices usually in the $5-$10 range. "The quality of our food is top notch," notes Kenda Evans who shares ownership with her husband. Independently owned from the Submarina franchise, the Evans' Submarina takes pride in its fresh food, high grade meats, and large portions. Daily specials and soups also compliment Submarina's array of subs. And country-like wooden furniture and knickknacks make it a nice atmosphere inside, as does the quick and friendly service. Mr. Taco, Old Spaghetti Factory, San Marcos Brewery and Submarina are just a few of the notable restaurants available to students on campus, but they are all definitely worth a visit. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to the Vice President of the College Democrats, Sarah Leonard, what originally started out as the efforts of about four people grew as students from the Women's Studies Student Association (WSSA) and the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender alliance (LBGT) pitched in to help set up the event.

Expressing her displeasure, student Kay Nguyen said the construction area, "Sucks, it's right in the middle of everything."

When asked to describe who belongs to Mensa, Catherine Barney, American Mensa Public Relations Manager, said there is no stereotypical Mensan. "Mensans are as diverse a group as you'll find anywhere. We have members ranging in age from four-years-old to one hundred; every religion, race, and profession," said Barney. "Our members are cab drivers, doctors, CEO's, and stay-at-home moms." There are 52,000 American Mensa members, and 100,000 worldwide Mensans. Joining Mensa has gotten somewhat more difficult in recent years. Up until the mid-1990s, a high score on most standardized achievement exams like the SAT Statistically speaking there are at least 140 students at CSUSM who qualify as geniuses~at least as far as their IQ is concerned. If you're a campus smartypants—or think you might be~ there's a national organization that wants you: American Mensa, the High IQ Society. Benefits of Mensa membership include a monthly magazine, opportunities to meet and mingle with other brainiacs at Annual Gatherings and Mind Games tournaments, and the ability to add the ultimate icebreaker to your resume or grad school applications: "Mensa Member."

HawaiianAiriines.com H AWAIIAN — -»mimes.-— �THE PRIDE By JASON NICHOLS P Ä Ombudsman "Enjoyed the Letter to the editor, but don't they have to sign them?" r Sally Jo Divis tagged me with this Q concerning last week's issue» The best part was the title of her email, "The Phantom Writer." We could use it for a movie. A mysterious student sends in a Letter to the Editor challenging the powers-that-be. As the campus becomes all engrossed with the identity of this 'masked' person, we see the writer in the shadows clacking away on a typewriter. (18 and under: the ancestor to MS Word.) We could film them as a series, maybe stopping at "Phantom Writer IIII: Mystery of the Large Clock of Academic H all" (hint, hint) Well it'd be nice, but I gotta kill my hypothetical by ending the mystery. Our "Phantom Writer" goes by the name Felipe Zanartu. The editing team goofed and kinda sorta missed the fact that Mr. Zanartu's name had been c ut I usually take their words under suspicion, but I think we can chalk this one up to an honest boo-boo. The policy in bold on page two of this puppy is still in force. The Editors apologize to Mr, Zanartu for any pain or suffering that may have occurred as a result of this incident I would suggest a doctor to take care of the matter, perhaps one from CSUSM's MJD. program, but that was just a misleading photo illustration in the News section last week. Elizabeth Baldwin with the slick skills and aid of Jason Encabo had a pic of a binder with M.D. on it next to an apple. I've been informed that we readers were to make the connection of Med Doc and apple to translate into an Ed.D. in Education Leadership, the actual doctorate offered here. Obviously, Elizabeth and Jason arefrt part of that program. (Whisper Mode On: 'Yo Elizabeth, J. The Docs that put a stick on your tongue aren't the only ones around. Those people in front of class that we call Professors. . .1 hear they're Docs too. Just thought you should know.) Above that pic of ambiguous meaning was the question "Looking to become a doctor?" And above that Q was a pic of a busted window with yellow streamers across it: caution caution caution. Another connection we should make? Hmmmm. What I realty dug was that Mr. Milo wrote in his article of "Broken glass" that there were "no suspects for the crime," then quotes Officer Hernandez saying the broken glass likely resulted from "horseplay" and not "vandalism." (Whisper mode on again: 'Yo Chez. Horseplay ain't a crime. Just thought you should know.) Somewhere on campus a person is sweatin' bullets thinking there's a dragnet out for 4em. A.P.B.: The suspect is a college student, between the ages of 18 and 25. Please contact the F.B.I. if you've seen this person. The suspect likely frequents the various eateries described in Mr. Schramm's article "When the Johhny Carson BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride Ed McMahon's "Hereeee's Johnny!" is a signature phrase for none other than the undisputed King of Late Night talk show, Johnny Carson, who passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2005. He died peacefully surrounded by his family and friends. He had battled emphysema for many years. On October 1, 1962, Carson was introduced as the new host for the "The Tonight Show" on the NBC network. For the next three decades, his monologues and jokes turned him into an American icon as well as one of the highest paid entertainers. Carson was nominated for an Emmy award seven times (1980, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991) winning in 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979 and 1992. Also in 1992, Carson was given the Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy and the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest honor to a civilian. Not only being one of the highest paid entertainers during his time, at one point he generated 17 percent of NBC's profit. Not only was McMahon's catchphrase a trademark for the show, over the years, Carson developed skits that added to the routine and which fans expected to see. For example, if the audience didn'tfinda particular joke funny, Carson would either have a microphone lowered to him and he would say "Attention KMart shoppers" or start tap dancing while the band played "Tea for Two." And of course, he ended every night with a golf swing with an imaginary club. Through his own hardships, such as three bitter divorces and his son killed in a road accident, he has still managed to keep others laughing. Many well known comedians got their start from his show. Comedians such as Jay Leno, Ellen DeGeneres, David Letterman, Steve Martin, among others all credit Carson for his generosity and expertise. Robin Williams and Bette Midler were his final guests. Midler sang "One More For My Baby" which caused Carson to shed a tear. Although Letterman was the leading contender for the successor of Carson, the network went with Leno. On January 24, "The Tonight Show" aired a tribute episode to Carson. Leno, along with McMahon, Bob Newhart, Don Rickles and Drew Carey expressed feelings towards their mentor. Dome won't do." A nice article by the way Matthew, obviously aided by Encabo's flair for page layout that was more than compensation for the misleading Doc illustration he'd done with Elizabeth. Matthew Schramm neglected my personal favorite chow-down spot, but I'll not advertise in this column. (Sandcrab goodi) And it'd be nice if Mr. Schramm had covered less obvious locals than those the student body was already frequenting. When you think about it, it'd be like the Union Tribune revealing to us that we have a Convention Center, Stadium, and Race Track. But we gotta break these new writers in somehow, so bear with the regurgitated themes for now. We'll get better. Of course, that also refers to Zach Simon's subtle opinion that books cost too damn much (a revelation), Patrick Long informing us that there exists a gym in the Field House (another revelation), and Brian Reichert's emphatic opinion that studying abroad is good for the soul (and those revelations just keep coming). Brian "had the opportunity to study in Santiago de Chile" and apparently liked it well enough despite Felipe Zanartu's (the Phantom Writer) observation that "the USD in Chile has lost 22 percent of its value." And like the 'caution caution caution' above "Looking to become a doctor?" we had Brian's travel ad atop Felipe's dire currency conversion rate. I'm tossin' my hands up, I'm so confused... I'm looking like the picture of Ethan Hawke in At Chu's review of "Assault on Precinct 13." Not the looking like a hotty factor, but we're sharing the same expression that communicates a sense of confusion. The one you make when barking spiders arrive in a crowded room and you just gotta whiff. Phoenix is now the A&E editor, and hopefully we won't have any unflattering pics popping up in the f uture (About the job Phoenix, my condolences.)

A Regal dupe BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Tuesday morning I woke up early, eagerly anticipating the announcement of this year's Oscar nominees. Most of the picks were quite predictable and fortunately I had spent the last couple of months trying to catch a film here or there so I could be ready to root for my favorites on Oscar night. I realized though, that many of the top contenders have never even played in this area, so I signed on to Sign On San Diego to try and track them down. Much to my dismay, I found out that if I wanted to see "Being Julia," Photo by Michael Dolan / The Pride I would have to trek down to Horton Plaza, and if I wanted to watch "Finding Neverland," I would have to drive to Poway or Temecula. "A Very Long Engagement" is in Hillcrest and "Ray" is playing in the Gaslamp. I have to question why all three of the theatres in the general proximity of San Marcos mostly play the same movies. I remember that when the Signature Theatre was built in Escondido they promised that they would reserve one of the theatres to play "art" films. Since the Regal whale swallowed up the Signature, it has merely become a clone of the San Marcos Theatre. Surely the Krikorian Metroplex in Vista could break out of the mold and show something different, but no, they offer the same homogenized fare as the Regal. It is frustrating that moviegoers in North County have to brave the 1-15 in order to see a film that might be out of the ordinary. The theatres around town need to wake up and realize that they need to offer a wider variety and acknowledge that people in San Marcos deserve to see these films on the big screen and not be forced to wait until they come out on DVD. �6 Tuesday, February 12005 O P I N I O N THE PRIDE Into uncertainty BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer At the tender age of 18, some people reading this would come to question my ability to read the culture of my generation and also the "experience" that I have in it. But it is not so much the extent of "experience" I have, as to how much I realize things in a new light after these 18 years on this planet. It seems to me that everyone is trying to reach a goal - however these people, me included, don't seem to have the slightest idea of what that goal is. Some of my friends are so set in their ways about what they want to do after college and their talk of all the millions they will be making makes me question what I really want. I have no clue of what I would like to do in the future and I don't know how I'm going to get there, it is just one of the many wonders in life that I like to call growing up. But these days my generation has procured a certain inamiable sense of life. Everyone just expects to procure this vast quantity of wealth and a consump- Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service tion of knowledge in what seems to be an instant. But I wonder is it just me that is so confused about my life that I can't seem to pull myself into one direction? Or could it be that the countless masses in college right now are thinking the same thing, and are just to obscure and frightened to reveal to themselves, that their assiduous effort has gotten them absolutely nowhere. These people are all around us and I say welcome.. .welcome to what I have just learned to be the first steps out of your childhood realm where everything just fell into place. Now I see that it is not me that plans things, it is the actions of everyone that plan the pitfalls and the peaks in life that can make the most dull person, such as myself,filledwith vital exuberance.

The things that I have taken for granted all these years are now gone and despite the fact that I am so young I find myself clinging to what is left of my once ecstatic childhood. I know that the things that have come and gone are that of the past but something tells me there is more to life than what we see. I think that life is a culmination of moments that I get too lost in to figure o ut I think the best quote about my generations' life would be by Simon and Garfunkel, "Half of the time we're gone but we don't know where," from the song "The Only Living Boy in New York." I know for a fact that I don't know what I am doing to better my life half of the time and it seems that everything has just been bunched up into a little irrelevant ball. These times reflect the exact moments when I feel that I am just doing something because society says it is the thing that has to be done. But if this is true then why am I making the final decisions, and my intuition and common sense lead me to view the finale of my life. But this is how life is and I have to accept it just like all my peers have to accept the fact that it may be tedious and tiring but someday, just maybe we will find that childhood again and cherish what is left of it for the rest of our lives.

It will be a tight race year's best movies. Academy Award nom- between "The Aviator," "Sideways," and inations were announced Tuesday, and as "Million Dollar Baby." always, there were some surprises. In the Best Director category, it will This year, the Academy shied away from come down to Clint Eastwood for "Milhonoring controversial films, like Mel lion Dollar Baby" and Martin Scorsese for Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" and "The Aviator." If the Academy decides to Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11." Both be sentimental, then Scorsese, who's never films were said to have a chance at Best won an Oscar, could be rewarded for his Picture, yet both were shut out. Instead, entire body of work. the Academy stuck with typical OscarThe most popular man on the red carpet bait, like the smaller, critically-acclaimed this year is sure to be Jamie Foxx, whose "Sideways," the last-minute contender double-nominations for "Ray" and "Collat"Million Dollar Baby," the ambitious bio- eral" proves that even if you once starred pic "Ray," the epic "The Aviator," and the in a movie called "Booty Call," you can family-friendly "Finding Neverland." still be nominated for Hollywood's most If the number of nominations means prestigious award. Photos courtesy of The Academy of Motion Picture A rts and Sciences The other nominees in this category were no surprise, except for Clint Eastwood being nominated as Best Actor for "Million Dollar Baby," taking the slot that many assumed Paul Giamatti of "Sideways" would get. Don Cheadle's nomination for "Hotel Rwanda," along with his co-star Sophie Okonedo's nomination for Best Supporting Actress, will give the hard-to-sell film about the 1994 genocide in Rwanda a much-needed boost in audience. However, a win for Jamie Foxx in the Best Actor category is the closest thing this year's race has to a lock. The Best Actress category will once again come down to Swank vs. Bening. In 2000, newcomer Hilary Swank beat veteran Annette Bening with her performance as a cross-dressing youth in "Boy's Don't Cry." This year the two, both fresh off Golden Globe wins, will face off yet again, but Bening's performance as an actress looking to revamp her career in "Being Julia" could hit closer to home for Academy voters. There are no clear frontrunners in either of the Supporting categories. For Best Supporting Actor, the Academy could decide to honor "Sideways" by giving Thomas Haden Church the statue, or "Closer" newcomer Clive Owen, the Golden Globe winner in this category. Best Supporting Actress is a category in which the Academy typically bestows the statue on a young ingénue, so "Closer's" Natalie Portman's chances are good. However, the Academy could decide to shake things up this year, so don't count out Virginia Madsen for "Sideways" or Laura Linney for "Kinsey." The 77th Annual Academy Awards will air on Sunday, February 27, on ABC. CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30. Donate infertile couples.

Under 17 not admitted without parent or adult guardian i i \ �The "Hotel" you must check into BY HEATHER HOFFMAN Pride Staff Writer Sometimes movies make you laugh, sometimes they make you cry, but very rarely do they open your eyes and force you to look at the world differently. Hotel Rwanda is a movie that will change your life. It takes place in Kigali the capital city of Rwanda in Africa, and tells the true story of a battle between the Hutu and the Tutsi that killed one million people in 100 days. These two groups had a long history of conflict which came to a climax in 1994, when Hutu extremists attempted genocide of the Tutsi people. This movie tells the story of Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) the house manager of an upscale hotel in Kigali who is also Hutu, and what he did to save peoples lives. It is an excellent record of a history that is unknown to most. Paul's wife Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo) and their three children are the most important thing in his life, and they're Tutsi, therefore they are a target of the Hutu's hatred. Paul would do anything to protect his family from harm, making this a wonderful story about love and family as well. When the President is assassinated, the Hutu blame the Tutsi and they begin attack- Photos courtesy of United Artists (MGM) ing the Tutsi and anyone who associates with them. As Tutsi are taken from their homes and murdered, Paul's Tutsi family and friends run to his house for protection, he is the only Hutu they trust. Paul's friends and family are taken by the Hutu and are not murdered because Paul offers to pay the Hutu a large amount of money, which he has to get from the Hotel Mille Collines where he works and has access to a lot of money. The hotel was safe and was protected by the UN because it had many prominent guests staying there. When the hotel manager leaves, Paul is given control of the entire hotel, so he hides his Tutsi friends away where they will be safe for a while. When the foreign hotel guests are given a military escort out of Rwanda, Paul is left with an unprotected hotel. Paul uses connections he's made through his job to keep the hotel and his family safe. One of these connections is Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte) of the UN who is very useful to Paul and does what he can to keep the hotel secure with limited resources. However it is a constant struggle for Paul to remain in control of the hotel and keep his guests safe as more and more refugees show up. As people everywhere are being murdered, Paul steps up and does something incredible that most people would not have the courage to do. He is a hero and because^ of him 1268 lives were saved. This movie is amazing. It reminds you that even in the ugliest situations beautiful things can come out of people. It is heart! warming to know that one person can take a stand and make a difference. The struggle between the Hutu and Tutsi was largely ignored by the rest of the world. Anyone with a heart will watch this film and ask themselves WHY? Why wasn't anything done to help the situation? Why was the attempted genocide of an entire culture ignored by the world? 5th Element: a pearl in the bed of oyster phlegm BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer Back in the latter half of the 90s—a decade that tried to claim immortality by refusing to take a single title-under the roman- Photo courtesy of Tristar Home Video tic dawn of new innovations in film effects, there occurred a brief, yet expectedly passionate affair between America's futurist action blockbuster and France's surrealist romance, captured by MTV and Vogue's self conscious voyeur isms. "The Fifth Element" has just been re-released with two hours of extras for the geeks' library/ shrine/wall, and a more expensive digitally enhanced version for those who need new lotion for the self-pleasure of a bigger screen (guess which one I'm holding.) Remembering that I'd liked this pearl pill in the bed of oyster phlegm, I wish now that I'd been there in the theater and there on the DVD team. The film itself was still enjoyable enough that I actually watched the whole thing when I'd planned to do a recap before diving into the extras. Not as many professional actors with amateur lines, but there are some close calls, some action with too much slapstick, some romance with too much action, but it stands out as a reminder that afilmenvironment should be total, that a future world must be remade as well as expanded, and that an B+ prop still caries more emotion than an A- digital image. Switching off widescreen would have shorthanded this film, but omitting the option is a bit underhanded, as was the potentially more valuable 'fact track' (think low budget popup video) which provided trivia everyfiveseconds, then every 15, then every minute, then every 15 minutes. It would seem someone either didn't understand ration- ing, or got lazy, as interesting facts became more often replaced by banal observations and yeahsayings. The extras disc cleverly divides its main features into the 'visual element' the 'star(actor) element,' etc., each with a makingof featurette narrated by the typical photojournalism dropout equipped with oyer-enthusiasm and bad jokes. We learn that the spiritual heroine is in reality a bit shallow, the gruff hero a bit deeper, and that lip-syncing opera is even harder as a reluctant alien. Film tests might just seem a way to pad the package, and probably were, but the grittier aspects of filmmaking could as easily spoil the magic for some people as enhance a sense of craftsmanship. What used to help gener- ate interest for the moviegoer can also counteract buyer's remorse in the DVD addict. Buy the movie, great for a crowd of mixed tastes: violence but little gore, randiness but little vulgarity (there's two brief shots of the heroine's breasts but they got to keep the PG-13 rating, which seems only fair considering her supermodel's figure.) Rent the special edition to make sure you find the info really gives you a lasting illusion of being closer to the professionals. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The agreement allows Discount Campus B ooks access to almost all of the b ooks used this spring semester, but at a cost of $1.50 per requisition. With 675 requisitions for the spring semester alone, that is a cost of $975 for Discount Campus Books. That amount is an acceptable cost for the store that is hoping to t urn a measurable profit for the first time. "We're happy as heck to p ossibly b e making money this semester," said John Kilby, manager of the store. With the requisitions, Kilby said they have already seen a 30 p ercent increase in sales this semester alone. In addition, with an agreement with the Foundation, Discount Campus Books can eliminate the lawyer's fees they have b een paying to keep the fight going, Kilby said. The-agreement, which covers the spring and summer 2005 semesters, will b e renegotiated f or the fall 2005 semester. Kilby is optimistic about the f uture negotiations. " I don't know (how the negotiations will go), I assume they will go okay," said Kilby. Prior to this agreement, Discount Campus Books had to order b ooks for the current semesters based on previous semester's orders.

Private investigator Lynn Button, a retired CSU police chief, and CSUSM Literature and Writing Department Chair Professor Susie Lan Cassel conducted the investigation into Williams' complaint. The four page investigation summary, dated February 1, devoted more than three of its pages to making recommendations for change within the CSUSM police department. The report suggests the creation of a task force to conduct "an in depth study regarding arrest demographics in terms of race." In the report, the investigators remark at the Hispanic arrest rate of 41percent during the last three years as "deserv(ing) further review." The report states: "It is troubling to see that the Hispanic arrest rate is nearly that of the white arrest rate and nearly double the percentage of Hispanic students on campus." Other recommendations in the report include the commencing of an internal review by University police of the department's arrest statistics in regards to race and to present those findings to the vice president and president of the university, the establishment of a community oversight committee to review arrests "to ward against race inequity" was also recommended as well as changing the complaint procedures to be "both student-friendly and statistically useful." The documenting of traffic stops and arrests "to ward against racial profil- BOOKSTORE, f rom page 1 ing," the adoption of a community policing model, the training of CSUSM police officers in "cultural sensitivity" and the changing of University police reports to contain "more descriptive facts" rounded out the report's recommendations. Interim Chief of University Police Aaron Woodard said^he felt that the investigation was, "complete and thorough," and that he "felt good about" the officers' in the complaint being cleared of wrongdoing. "Anyone investigating (the case) would have come to the same conclusions," said Woodard. When asked about the recommendations in the investigation report, Woodard said that many of the recommendations are already being implemented. "We (University police) have to and are doing more to get the people to get to know who we are," said Woodard. He declined f urther comment o n specific recommendations within the report citing the current review of the report within the campus policing task force. Jason Williams expressed his disappointment that the officers were cleared and remarked that the findings were, "how i thought everything would work out," and that he was "trying not to let things like this get me down." Williams said that he was concerned that the clearing of the officers involved in his traffic stop sent the wrong message to the campus and community at large. "It is like saying that this was OK. What do you think the justice system will do to me? What do you think is happening to those not in colleges?" said Williams. Expressing his belief that university police should be more of a p eacekeeping force than a strict enforcement agency Williams said, "no one should be getting arrested on college campuses unless there is a big emergency."

In addition to book sales, Discount Campus Books is offering tax service for students for the first time this semester.

Haynes presented her first report to the community, "Building Vital Communities," in the Clark Field House, February 3. According to the President's website, approximately 130 members of the community paid $15 to hear President Haynes' speech with a breakfastJxiffet on the side. The Pride did not attend the event, but did receive a copy of President Haynes' speech from the Office of Communications. Haynes' speech read CSUSM's current slogan, "We're Building a Place for You," has become outdated and fails to highlight all of the expansion the campus has undergone in the past 15 years. According to Haynes' speech, "We have now built a place for you. We are ready to move from our past success to significance, building vital communities through education and partnerships." The speech outlined three essential building blocks to expand our "vibrant and Vital commun i t y " - academic excellence, cultural and intellectual vibrancy, and the final block is civic leadership. Haynes' speech stressed academic excellence is the top priority. The university will continue to develop new academic majors and expand on existing programs to meet the needs of the community. "As these new majors and concentrations are rolled out, they will include the strengths of our existing programs and what has built our academic reputation to date: writing and second language requirements, use of technology, problem solving and teamwork approaches to learning, and community service," as read in Haynes' speech. call for similar parking fee increases for faculty. The plan* went into effect under the direction of former CSUSM President Alexander Gonzalez (July 1998 - June 2003), before he moved on, as a ten year plan to help accommodate the expected increase in enrollment. Since Cal. State San Marcos is considered a commuter school, most of the students drive to school and the demand for parking space will increase with enrollment. Unlike San Diego State, where they have 36,000 students and 12,000 parking spaces, students here at CSUSM always have a place to park, even if it is in the dirt lot and Parking Services wants to keep it that way. Robert Williams, the Coordinator of Business Operations & Technology, Parking Services, explained how in order to pay for new spaces on campus, Parking Services has to come up with its own money. "We are self supporting. .. (and) many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams. Money designated to schools from the state of California cannot be used for parking services and the expense of building just a flat surface is increasing in California. "Many people do not realize how expensive it is," said Williams talking about how the cost of construction and labor in California has gone up. He said that a flat surface to fit 1200 spaces will run about 354 million dollars. Williams also said that the plan to build a parking structure in 2010 will probably run about 18 million dollars. Williams also talked about the difficulty to get approval for such construction. "It's like buying a house," said Williams, "Parking services has to apply for loans, we have money in the bank, and we have to get preapproved for any of these construction projects to get underway." When asked why students must bare the brunt of the fee increase alone he said Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride that "faculty [parking fee someone that has a similar start operations in late 2007, increases] have to be done at school schedule. according to the NCTD web the state level."

" I don't m ind them being there, I j ust don't like it when they're aggressive," said CSUSM student Talisha St. John. "A lot of u s on campus can't a fford to buy these things anyway," said St. John. In the past, students have not had a say in which vendors they would like to see on campus, but D eGuzman stated that this was something they would add to their suggestion cards in the f uture. Perhaps students wouldn't feel so indifferent if some of the vendors were picked by them. ASI usually posts the schedule on the window outside their office facing Founders Plaza. The next stream of vendors are scheduled to b e here in March. T he area around Commons and the Founders Plaza smelled of smoke f rom the brief fire that followed the explosion. The San Marcos Fire Department was called out to inspect the light and t he interior of Commons 206 to ensure there was no danger of a residual fire. The inspection revealed no f urther danger. Members of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority were gathering f or a meeting outside Commons 206 when the explosion occurred. "It literally j ust popped o ff," said sophomore Jacelyn Foley. " Then a fire started behind it." ' It smelled real b ad," said Christina Salter, sophomore. The sorority was meeting to discuss spring recruitment. Hernandez said that Facility Services h ad been contacted and would handle the repair of light. At press time, there was no plan to close or restrict access to the second floor Commons corridor.

Ishmael Reed's body of work r uns the gamut. From novels, poetry and songwriting to television production, publishing, playwriting and magazine editing. He has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award. He was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in University since the late 1960s. One of Reed's most recent essays, "Another Day at the Front," is a deftly crafted social criticism of the homefront war. America's long tradition of racism is explored in this work, which evokes deep emotional Photo courtesy of The Circle Brotherhood Association responses f rom its readers. One of the purposes of his work has been to provoke people to think differently about their culture and their place in society. Reed -is a master of collage and improvisation, with the ability to entertain his audience with humorous exaggeration and sharp wit. He is often misunderstood because satire and irony cannot be appreciated if the audience does not have the appropriate background to comprehend his ideas. Much of his satire is aimed at the status quo and sometimes his readers are offended by his idea of "Neohoodooism," a name Reed coined to describe his philosophy of accepting many truths. Reading one of Reed's novels like "Mumbo Jumbo" or "Yellow Back Radio Broke Down" is a challenge, but it helps one gain a sense of his perspective of black culture in*America. Reed's lecture, "Honoring Black History Month," promises to be as entertaining and thought provoking as his books, poetry and essays. It will be presented February 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Arts 240. Seating will be limited, so early arrival is recommended.

I hope doesn't seem to reflect in Bush's that politics in this country could statement "America's economy is be a bit less childish. However I the fastest growing of any major demand however that politicians industrialized nation." Perhaps to end sexism which includes the LGBT community. There is a growing resentment in this country against homosexuals. It's bad enough that the president and so many other politicians are invoking their religion on us, but now the debate against homosexuals is to make sure they are'denied the rights of any type of heterosexual union. I ask people all the time "Why do you care if they get married? Does it impact you personally? Would it affect your pocket book?" The answer to most is no with a condition. They say allowing this will tear apart the moral fabric of America. America, a country in which 1 in 3 women are raped, were people of color are unreasonably searched and arrested, and where we send our children off to war on false premises. All of these immoral acts occurred on this very campus last semester. I hope they are not talking about that America. I was told by one man "I don't want to have to explain to my children why gays are allowed to marry " That could be a valid point, but consider this: 50 years ago about at least half of the U.S. citizens, most which were Anglos, were saying "I don't want to have to explain to my children why interracial dating or marriage is acceptable?' The separation of church and state has been so blurred in this country. If the church refuses to marry these people in "Holy Matrimony," than the state should. Why does the church have so much power on a legal binding contract such as marriage? As far as I know though I could be wrong many gays do not intend to be part of this patriarchal Judeo-Christian institution. By not belonging to it however, they are denied family rights such as, family visitation, inheritance, and much much more. If I can ask anything of my fellow comrades, it is not to support the church in its role in the government. We kick them out for a good reason; do not let them dictate what is moral. Remember church and state are separate. "The Phantom Writer" shown us that you are concerned about your freedoms. But where have all of these demanding students gone? From all of the support at every rally, forum andprotests where are you when we need a solid organization to keep us going? For those of you who have held a sign at the Michael Moore rally for Freedom of Information, where are you when organizations for positive social change are struggling to pay for the tables, the banners and the sign that you held? Where is our support when we need just people to help us put on events, when we need members just to put on a fundraiser? The Progressive Activists Network (PAN) is working hard to bring support to those in need, to voice student concern and to keep ourselves running with new members. Our meetings are empty and our f unds are low. With all of the turnout at rallies, PAN is growing into a well known organization. But with only 4 people pulling all of the levers to make it work, we would like support not j ust at our events, but at our meet- ings, tabling and fundraising. For the 237 people who have signed onto our list serve, and the 227 people who have never come to a meeting or have asked how they can help, I call on you to help PAN grow. For the 400+ people who signed the letter to Karen Haynes, demanding an answer to her decisions, where are you as we continue to look for an answer? For the hundreds of people who have stopped at our events, forums, rallies and protests, I ask you to join us in our fight for academic freedom, a socially conscious campus, and maybe just an hour of your week. Every Tuesday at 4pm in U NIV 449 and Thursdays, 7pm at Mocha Marketplace in Restaurant Row.

Last week while looking for a parking spot, I realized that there were some open spots in lot K, adjacent to campus police and the University Village apartments. Without noticing the sign saying "UVA parking only," I parked in one of the many open spots in the lot. When I returned to my vehicle I found the $100 parking ticket and realized my mistake. Fine, my fault for not being observant and wanting to park on pavement, but is $100 an appropriate fine? As Patrick B. Long writes this week in his article about parking on campus, Parking Services is self-supporting, so I assumed the $100 fine was a way for Parking Services to support itself. A fter talking with Patti Hale at Parking Adjudication, I learned that Parking Adjudication receives all fine monies a fter $5 goes to the state. Hale also informed me that under state law, Parking Services and Parking Adjudication are separate and fine monies can't b e used for parking improvements. Funds collected f rom parking tickets can be used to finance Parking Adjudication and alternative transportation funding. Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Basically my $100 fine will go towards services I will never use. I j ust don't understand the rationale behind making students bear the cost of parking improvements and/or alternatives while receiving no relief. The price of parking remains the same as the availability of parking spaces goes down. Something is wrong. Last semester I could almost always find available parking on the pavement during peak hours, but now with a total enrollment increase o f295 students, I have a hard tinie finding parking outside of the dirt lot. Being that this is largely a commuter campus, it was unfair and irresponsible to not increase available, easily accessible paved student parking to accommodate the additional parking volume. I feel ripped off for having to pay $158 for a parking spot that either requires I park on dirt and walk for 20 minutes to get to class or show up to campus when the sun comes up. We, the students, pay the same amount of money and get less - it's just not right. If CSUSM accepts more students, there need to be adequate increases in services to assure the same availability and quality of the service, and already cash-strapped Students shouldn't bear the cost of improvements they will never use.

Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar B aby" is yet another boxing movie, but it is much more than that. It is a film that challenges the viewer by a ffirming life as well as pointing out how f ragile it can be. Hillary Swank plays Maggie, a trailer-trash waitress who dreams of t raining to become a champion boxer. She j oins a worn-out old g ym owned by Frankie, played by Clint Eastwood.

But when the acoustic guitar kicks in, it seems to fill a whole other genre. Teaming u p with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Jimmy Tamborello (Dentl) wound up incorporating a whole new scene for the kids lost among this emo/punk era. Fanciful lyrics and beats upon beats lead u p to The Postal Service's first album release "Give Up." Deep lyrics and references to subjects like d rug abuse - and being trapped within ourselves compliment the free-flowing, u pbeat tempo of songs like "Such Great H eights" The Postal Service's recent success is due to the f act that their lyrics resonate with t oday's youth, and fill a void f or t oday's adolescent. With songs ranging in vocal precision and intricate b ass chimes, t he song "Clark G able" gives young audiences a great feeling of welcome and support in this society of structure. A s f ans wait for their next release, it is certain that despite wherever they tread musically, The Postal Service will achieve an unprecedented success among youth of all generations.

The screenplay was w ritten by Paul Haggis, who adapted the story f rom "Rope B urns: Stories From the Corner." The overall look of the film is very dark with many night scenes and characters filmed in t he shadows. Eastwood's camera and lighting techniques create a very distinctive mood that makes t he dialogue even more dramatic. Much of the story takes place in a gritty, dilapidated old g ym that looks like it belongs in a third-world and he has nailed the perfect formula of casting, cinematography and performance. It will not b e a surprise to anyone when he picks u p the award for best director and Swank captures best actress. "Million Dollar B aby" is probably the best film o f2004, but it remains to b e seen if it will actually b e honored with that title. country rather t han in Los Angeles. T he first two-thirds of the film moves rather slowly, but it allows the audience to develop a genuine a ffection f or the characters and prepare them f or a dramatic plot twist. Swank's character evolves physically as she t rains and her superb athleticism is matched only by her considerable acting skills. Eastwood is, f or the most p art, convincing in his role as trainer. The choice for him to b e reading Yeats and learning Gaelic seems a bit of stretch, but for a 75-year-old guy, he still rocks.

And so did I, the first 60 percent of it; snuck in like this man already had the job and I was already in his class and already afraid he'd be one of those 'on time or not at all' teachers. What he dropped, what I caught, what we might have shared had you been one of the hot chicks present (I could count them on one hand.. .not including the thumb) but you weren't; it was mostly faculty, and middle aged people, and middle aged people who weren't faculty, listening as he jerked his head up for second fractions, attempting eye contact but looking more like someone afraid of a yawn or rubber band preparing his assassination in the back row. Though variety was apparently present on the whole, in my 40 percent the work was, in a word, water collar: unpretentiously pretty presentation of real (existential) life questions—the other merging of white and blue being vapor collar, which uses poetry more to spit on rather than lick up the illiterate people who don't show up to these things.

The 22year-old junior communication major had earned a 3.0 grade point average the previous semester and was running the 400meter hurdles for CSUSM on a scholarship, boasting times that placed him within the top 25 of all Division I and Division II colleges for that event. Following the October 20 In an effort to aid frustrated students, the CSUSM History Department, under the direction of Dr. Patricia Seleski, has recently contacted Advising Services in hopes of regaining some control over major advising. The decision came after numerous complaints to the History Department and instructors from students over the inability of Advising Services to meet their needs. Although history professors have attempted to deal with the individual advising needs of its students in the past, a more concentrated effort is now underway to deal with the issue. Student problems with advising have been especially rife with history majors, probably because of the major's special requirements such as themes and portfolios. The most common complaints that history professors have received from students is the lack of advising availability. For example, history major Claudia Hernandez See WILLIAMS, page 2 See ADVISING, page 3 Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride David Halttunen (left) and Daniel Vareal (right) await assistance at Advising Services.

The charges have since been reduced to an infraction of having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle and misdemeanor possession of a knife on a college campus, which in total carry a possible sentence of up to a year in jail and a substantial fine. Williams said that the traffic stop was unwarranted as well as the subsequent search of his vehicle. He also said was he was treated inappropriately by officers. Williams filed a formal complaint against the officers involved in the stop, CSUSM Police Officers Bronson, Pike, Sainz and Panza. An independent investigation conducted following the complaint concluded on February 1 that, "the officers involved in this case acted within the policies and procedures established for the CSUSM police department," and made numerous recommendations for change within the department. "I did nothing wrong," said Williams when asked if he felt he was unfairly targeted by police. Williams said that despite the embarrassment of going public with his arrest it was, "the risk I had to take to let people know." Williams said that he was unfairly targeted by police due to his race. He said he felt compelled*^ tell his story because he wanted others to "know how things are in the world." Williams talked about the details of his arrest and subsequent impact it had on his everyday life. THE pride "While I was in jail I g0t jumped for pissing in the wrong urinal," said Williams. He talked about how he was attacked in jail several times and was put in the same cells with murderers. A fter his time in police custody, Williams said he had problems sleeping and studying, and as a result his grades suffered. He said he was asked to quit the track team following what he described as 'racial separation' amongst team members. Williams said he quit the team to avoid further conflict. "Basically, if this whole thing had never happened, I would be winning titles right now," said Williams. He said his legal worries are constantly on his mind due to the fact he cannot afford a private attorney. Williams also worries how he will pay for tuition and other expenses next semester now that he no longer has his track scholarship. Despite the legal and financial setbacks as a result of his arrest and pending trial, Williams still aspires to be an educator. He also is currently in a local rap group Elm Street. "I am trying not to let things like this get me down," said Williams. When asked what he wanted the readers to know Williams said, "In this society people are so quick to judge others on the way they look, talk, and dress, never seeking to find the truth inside. We are in college. This is where we learn about new cultures, new people and new ways of thinking. For once let's begin judging individuals for who they are and what they stand for, because no matter what religion or belief you have you eventually will be judged for how you treated others." fplHlOlfe $ 150 Q UEEN P ILLOW-TOP M attress set.

For six weeks, Hernandez was unable to reserve a space due to the huge flood of requests that barraged Web Scheduler every Monday morning when it opened. When emailing Advising Services directly did nothing to resolve the problem, Hernandez turned to one of her history professors for advisement. A number of frustrated history majors have similarly fallen back on their teachers for advisement assistance. Many of the advising problems that have been frustrating students lately have their root in thefinancialcutbacks that recently affected CSUSM. Aside from having funding for both advisors and staff slashed, Advising Services also underwent a number of structural changes that included gaining advisement aspects that had previously been regulated to professors. At the same time there has been a continual influx of students to the campus, all of who need advisement, only adding to the woes of Advising Services. In other words, Advising Services has become smaller while taking on more responsibilities. Despite the immediate problems, both the history and advising departments stress that they look forward to working together to better serve student needs. The department was "really decimated" by the loss of funds, but has been "trying to be really creative to meet the challenges" said advising director Andres Favela. Looking towards the future, Favela's department is attempting to imple- ment a recovery plan to help counter the hits it took from the financial cutbacks including experimenting with group advising sessions and walk-in appointments which the department implemented temporarily last fall. Advising Services is aware of the disputes students are having and see the recent decision by the History Department as a good development which will hopefully relieve some of the problems for students. In the meantime Favela advises students to be proactive when it comes to seeking advisement, a sentiment echo by the history department. Yet despite its efforts, many students still feel ignored by Advising Services. History major, Theresa Francis has been proactive in her attempts to work with Advising Services yet has continually run up against a brick wall. In September 2004, Francis submitted her form for grad check only to get it back with the incorrect history themes listed. Despite numerous attempts to contact Advising Services and remedy thè problem, Francis has been unable to correct the situation, and has had difficulties in getting Advising Services to respond. The relief of problems with grad checks is one of the major issues the History Department will be tackling immediately. "Advisement is almost as important as instruction," notes history professor Dr. Jill Watts, who echoes Advising Services complaint that financial cutbacks and structural issues have hampered advisement. Students need the "whole educational package" said Watts, a thought that many teachers and students hope will be met with future cooperation between the two departments.

Many students on campus are reluctant to eat at the generic eateries in the Dome for a variety of reasons. "Sometimes I get sick off of the food on campus, and it's not the best quality we could have," said student Jackie Espinoza. "There's not a lot to choose from," said student Marco Garcia. Yet many students are unaware that Cal State San Marcos could not bring permanent franchises on our campus due to the low student population. "Most franchises require a student head count of at least 10,000 to even consider setting up on a college campus, and Cal State San Marcos is only around 7,500," said Pam Edmonson, director of Commercial Services for the Cal State San Marcos Foundation. "We didn't meet the criteria of outside operators." It seemed like there would never come a time when outside restaurant franchises would come to fruition at Cal State San Marcos. That was until Starbucks arrived on campus. The Starbucks in Kellogg Library was the first stepping stone for other vendors. "Bringing Starbucks on our campus was not easy," said Edmonson, "a lot of negotiation and persuasion went back and forth between Starbucks Company and the Foundation." The Starbucks across the street at the Campus Marketplace shopping center had to give their okay for the Starbucks on campus before it could be completed. The final agreement put the CSUSM Foundation in control of Starbucks making it a licensed store that pays a portion of proceeds back to Starbucks. Edmonson feels this is the best way to bring outside franchises onto campus because the control would be in the hands of the University and not the company. She said that giving the university control over franchises on campus is more beneficial to students who need part time jobs because they IIb ^^P HHP i p f l i1 Magazine Is now accepting èuliÉissions Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Starbucks was the first famous franchise on campus. can apply for employment at the franchises directly through the CSUSM Foundation. Now that other businesses are looking at Cal State San Marcos as a place to make money, Edmonson has begun speaking with Subway and Smoothie King in the Campus Marketplace. Both franchises are in the process of working an agreement with the CSUSM Foundation to test how their products would fair on our campus.

Changes may not happen right away, but Edmonson and the CSUSM Foundation are working on them. According to Edmonson, there will be a small space reserved in the new business building for food service but no decision as to what kind of food service has been made. Allowing brand name vendors to set up carts around the Arts building is also currently under consideration.

The pros & cons of shelling out big bucks for music at your fingertips BY JULIE OXFORD Pride Staff Writer The Apple iPod is filling the ears and pockets of consumers everywhere. It is rare to walk around this campus without seeing the signature white earbuds donned by students who just can't live without their music. When asked about her iPod CSUSM student Lindsay Waiters said, "I am a total proponent. I have nothing but good things to say about it." So what is it and why is it so coveted? The Apple iPod has gone through seven different designs (including the iPod mini, the iPod shuffle, and the iPod photo.) The current design, the fourth generation iPod, has two models. One has 20GB, holds up to 5,000 songs and retails at $299; the other has 40GB, holds up to 10,000 songs and retails at $399. There __.«.— is an educational discount available which decreases the prices to $269 and $369. One of the favorite options on the iPod is the shuffle feature, which allows you to shuffle through entire albums or individual songs. By opting to shuffle through individual songs you can have the equivalent of T ^"""™"^™"" your own radio station, without having to hear that annoying song 18 times a day, and without commercials. The 20GB model could play continuously for 13 days without repeating one song. Another favorite feature is the On-theGo playlist. This feature allows you to pick favorite songs, as many as you'd like, and put them on a playlist. This can be done on the iPod itself, without using a computer. You can make multiple playlists and each one is saved individually. It's like making a mixed tape or cd, in less than two minutes. You can also use the iPod as a backup hard drive, as an organizer (it includes contacts, calendars and to-do lists), as a voice recorder (by purchasing the Griffin iTalk voice recorder), or as portable storage for your digital photos (by purchasing either the Belkin digital camera link or media reader.) A fully charged iPod battery can last up to 12 hours. Other options for power include a car adapter, an a/c adapter, and the Belkin AA battery pack, for those times when there are no plugs. The iPod can be played through your car or home stereo using a tape adapter or the Griffin iTrip. The iTrip transmits your music through a station on your FM dial. It has gotten mixed reviews though, with complaints of music cutting in and out, a beeping noise when there is no signal, and occasional distortion or interference. When you first get your iPod the initial transferring of music will take some time. First, your music has to be put on your computer. When you do this you have to input the information for each album (artist, song, and album titles) through your itunes folder. This could take several days, weeks, or even months. Then once all of your music is on your computer you plug in your iPod and all the files transfer over. Xhis can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on how many songs are being transferred. The reason why everyone wants it: the iPod allows you to have all of your music with you at all times. The days of picking out cd's to put in your car changer or your cd case are gone. Lindsay Watters said, "I can go anywhere with it, traveling is so much easier now." So what happens if it breaks? Unfortunately iPods have been known to simply stop working. Sometimes the unit may get stuck on one song, or the unit will turn off and not turn back on. There are directions and a tutorial on troubleshooting for your iPod at apple, com/support/ipod/. Often the unit simply needs to be reset. But sometimes there is Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises...

The entire process is very quick. It only Most of us, however, don't want a refurbished product. We paid $300+ for a new, and functioning, iPod and that is what we want. But according to the representatives from customer relations there is no way to guarantee that you will receive a new iPod in place of a defective one. I own a third generation iPod. One day it started making funny noises. Then it would turn off suddenly. Then it stopped working all together. I filled out the repair form online and promptly received my replacement. Less than a month later my replacement made a couple of funny noises. Then it turned off and froze. It would not turn back on or respond in any way. I was not happy. I called AppleCare Support to find out how they could help me. I talked to four different people and asked them all the same question, 'how do I get a new iPod or a refund'. I got the same answer from all of them, there is no way to guarantee that your broken iPod will be replaced with a new iPod, and you cannot get a refund. This made no sense to me because when I received the replacement it included a letter in which Apple claimed to be, ".. .committed to (my) total satisfaction." I was definitely not satisfied. I wanted a new iPod or I wanted my money back. But there was no talking to See IPOD, page 6 �IPOD, from page 5 Language requirement: waste of time or essential part of a college education? retention as "hardly any."

After making a loose reference to the. number of studies that show languages are best taught at the elementary level, Mr. Igaskai agreed with the findings, yet added "It's great, but that's not the way it is (in the US)...that doesn't mean we should just have no program at the university level." As to why California still fails to act on these studies, he said, "Funding, lack of commitment on the part of administrators, on the part of politicians." Though hard pressed to form a speculation on the reason behind these shortcomings, he imagined there would be more work for foreign language teachers should they catch up. And if the minimum foreign language proficiency was dropped as a graduation requirement? "Attendance probably wouldn't be as high in those lower classes, but then we could add more at the upper divisions."

I had already been transferred four times, and I was late for school. So I finally gave up. I got online tofillout the repair form, again, and I was prompted to enter a credit card number to pay for shipping fees. This was the last straw. I was not going to pay to send back my defective iPod. I called back to Apple Customer Relations to solve the problem. What I got was a customer representative who could not complete a sentence and had me on the phone for nearly an hour before he transferred me to someone who was, I'm guessing, his superior. This man said that the only way to avoid having to pay shipping was to pick up my replacement at the retail store in La Jolla. So I did. • * I am now on my third iPod, and I am nervous that this will not be my last. There is no way of telling if it is new or refurbished. I am simply hoping that this one does not break after my warranty is expired. If it does I could get it replaced for $249 plus $6.95 shipping and handling. That is, I could pay more than $250 for a refurbished iPod. It is very unlikely that I will buy anything from Apple again.

But we don't. And it can't. When the time comes for my generation to collect on its S ocial Security, the program will most likely be bankrupt. Proof of this is in how the retirement age slowly continues to get older and older. It's because the government can't afford to pay everyone right now. How ironic since it seems that the younger generations are working more and therefore putting in quite a bit of money into this system, yet probably won't see that money later when they'll need it. If the government were to pay everyone what they deserved at that point, who knows what kind of programs would need to be cut because of the level of bankruptcy we would be in. According to Social Security Trustees, as posted on www.whitehouse.gov, if nothing was to be done and we left the system as it is, it will cost future generations $10.4 trillion. Then, by 2042, when individuals in their mid-twenties now will be beginning to retire, the system will be bankrupt. That's a scary thought for me because I pay taxes and I most certainly pay into Social Security, yet I won't be seeing any of it.

Speeding through the Sunday evening congestion on the Orange County stretch of Interstate 5 and opening it up to a constant 90 to 100 mph once the traffic broke in Los Angeles could not overcome a miscommunication about the scheduled time of the show (9:15, not 11:00 p.m.). The Troubadour show was the second show of weekend; fortunately, I had caught the debut show of the band two nights earlier at the Galaxy Concert Theatre in Santa Ana. Duane Peters of the U.S. E^ombs and Die Hunns has been a punk rock staple for many years on the true underground scene. The Gunfight represents a fusion of Peters' punk influence mixed with straight up rock n' roll. Peters recruited the talent of four established musicians for The Gunfight.

It is rare for a band these days, especially a punk band, to employ this type of musical front. Most bands have a one or two guitar front, which has become a somewhat industry standard. There was a time, however, when the three guitar front was prominent (particularly, in my mind, with the stadium bands of the '70s). The rhythm kept by Trejo and Moras provides a solid foundation for the band. One can move to the beat, the pit was going pretty strong on the parquet dance floor of the Galaxy, but keep your arms up and eyes open or you might find yourself bowled over fairly quickly. The Duane Peters' Gunfight is about to go on tour with The Weirdos. Upcoming dates include two stops in North County. The first show is in San Marcos on Friday, February 25 at the Longshot Saloon.

BY CHRISTINE BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Every Thursday night at eight o'clock I turn the phone off, get into my jammies, and get comfortable on the couch to watch "The O.C." There, I said it. I will admit that I am a fan of "The O.C." I love this high school drama show that makes light of sex and substance abuse. This season unfolded more drama with Marissa's tantrums Image courtesy of FOX Network South Park and rebellious behavior. Many new characters have emerged, such as Caleb's bastard daughter Lindsay; Alex the rebel with purple streaks in her hair; Summer's new beau Zach (who is oddly similar to Seth...except Zach is way cuter) and Sandy's old flame has come to the O.C. Even with all of the makings of a hit series, I often ask myself how I got hooked on such an asinine show. The plot is formulaic (except Marissa turning lesbian.. .didn't see that one coming), the acting is horrendous (Marissa's awkward scenes with hottie newcomer Alex) and the costumes (if you could call them that) are totally sexist. I can scarcely recall Marissa or Summer wearing anything that covered up their fantastic cleavage. Yet, week after week I am drawn to "The O.C." Maybe it's the bad acting, or maybe it's the suspense that keeps me coming back for more. Whatever the reason, I actually feel my I.Q. dropping a notch or two after each episode, and at this rate, I'll never get into Mensa. Who cares, "The O.C." is way cooler. Adult Swim Image courtesy of Comedy Central BY CHEZARE MILO Pride StaffWriter My guilty pleasure is South Park; I drop whatever I'm doing and make time to watch each new episode. Full of racist epithets, foul language, and poor taste, South Park is the ultimate parody of American life; every episode is so wrong that I have to laugh out loud. My guilt stems from the fact that unquestioning individuals, and/or children, will see Kenny's recurring bloody dismemberment and Mr. Love is in the Heir BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of E! Entertainment Television Slave's sexual antics in the classroom as appropriate behavior rather than outrageous. The only way I can justify supporting the show through my ritual viewing is that the antics of Cartman, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny are not only entertaining, but bring important social issues to light. Parody is unique in its ability to make people see the absurdities that are occurring around us all the time, and perhaps consider other views before automatically holding on to learned societal norms. Mr. Hanky the Christmas poo serves an important societal role .yeah right! Dare I admit my addictive obsession with E's reality TV show "Love is in the Heir?" Sad but true, each week I eagerly tune in to find out about the exciting and amusing life of Ann Claire; a London princess turned country singer/songwriter in Los Angeles. Her painstakingly terrible musical performances, dramatic exchanges with her unqualified personal assistant, and her dating disasters keep me coming back for more. Despite the fact that she is the only person in her family without an English accent, that she claims to fear getting cut off from her parents even though she has her own TV show, and the atrociously poor acting that is exhibited by both her personal assistant and her personal trainer/boyfriend, I somehow manage to convince myself week after week that the show is real. After watching this program religiously for an entire season I find myself listless, wondering if and when it will once again reappear on television. Thus far there has been no mention of any plans for further episodes on the E! Network or on their website. For now I will sit on my couch, remote in hand, distraught look on my sad, sad face and long for the day that "Love is in the Heir" returns to my TV screen. Overly dramatic you say? Watch the show once and you will be hooked—I'm currently researching treatment programs to rid me of this misery. Image courtesy of Cartoon Network • _ BY ZACHARY J. SIMON Pride Staff Writer It began, as so many of the few remaining worthwhile ventures, in the early 90s, with a handful of geeks in Atlanta re-dubbing old Hanna Barberra Sixties Saturday Sci-fi into a talk show that ranged from silly to surreal. Long too obscure to be shameful, its appeal to the intoxicated/antisocial, now horrifyingly united by A1 Gore's failure and media's greatest Ziggurat, at last birthed a Satan of animation to rival any demon in the Spike & Mike Goetia. "Adult Swim" is not only the best excuse to get cable; it is the best reason to own a television. Originally confined to Sunday's late night, it is now proof positive that the Cartoon Network is not, was never,, 'just for kids.' This is the kind of funny that keeps your mouth agape in lobotomy-awe for a good five minutes before one of two reactions: an unnerved notion that TV is finally spitting in your face, or laughter that leaves you even wetter. Some of the shows are/were better than others, but give them all a wade, a stroke, a dive. "Adult Swim's" DVD collections might be available for rent, but buy them, in public, and share in my ecstatic shame. Strange Love BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer If you've never seen "Strange Love" then you're missing one of the oddest shows of all times. A spin-off of last season's "Surreal Life," VH1 decided to take up where that show left off, focusing on the love and drama of rapper Flavor Flav and actress Brigitte Nielsen. Just looking at the two of them is enough to qualify as strange, but it's their quirky personalities that make this show a winner. But there's a twist: Brigitte is engaged to be married to a man who couldn't be a more opposite to Flavor, so he's on a mission to win her back. Brigitte walks around in her black netted lingerie bodysuit half the time, and Flavor (or "Fluffy-Fluffy" as Brigitte calls him) looks like a little kid with a Viking helmet on his head. Am I embarrassed to say I watch this show? Hell no! It's got all the right elements; love, scandal, beautiful scenery (Italy), and characters with great personalities. Watching an Amazon woman and a little man from completely different cultures taking the romance back to high school level is beyond entertaining. In fact, it's the best escape I've found from my real world. Reality TV just doesn't get any better than this!

Prwfe atheletics fee BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer In March, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund intercollegiate athletics. According to Steven Nichols, director of athletics, the fee would enable intercollegiate athletics to expand our current sports programs and add new programs in the near future. Right now intercollegiate athletics offers men's and women's golf, cross-country and track and field. The new fee will allow the program to include men's and women's baseball, softball, soccer and women's volleyball. Currently, the athletics department is funded through the Instructionally Related Activities fee (IRA) and the CSU General Fund. Athletics receives approximately $200,000 from the CSU General Fund and Photo courtesy of CSUSM Athletics Department anywhere from $12,000 - $32,000 from the IRA fee. The amount received by the IRA fee is determined by the number of students enrolled each semester and the number of campus organizations applying for funds. If the referendum passes, the athletics department will be looking at an increase of $296,000 per semester. "If the fee does not pass, we can't sus- Surveys: $6,000. DUI Checkpoints: $8,000. Alcohol EDU: $20,000. A goal of reducing the number of alcoholrelated incidents among college students: Not quite priceless, but $48,000. Starting the first of February, CSUSM was on of the ten state campuses sharing a $750,000 CSU Alcohol and Safety (CSU ATS) grant, which was administered by the Office of Traffic and Safety (OTS), part of the Business, Transportation and Housing Agency. The program was funded by $74.2 million in traffic safety funds that were awarded to 277 California state departments last year. CSUSM received $48,000 of this money. In order to receive a portion of this grant, each campus had to apply and come up with a proposal unique to their campus. Out of the 23 CSU campuses (the nation's largest university system), 18 applied for the mini-grants. The other nine participating CSU campuses are Bakersfield, Chico, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, Pomona, San Diego, San Luis Obispo, Sonoma and Stanislaus. The CSU ATS program is being directed by Perry Angle, who is working with Dave Doucette, the OTS regional coordinator. "We screened the applications in November and we were looking for tain the sports that we have. I'm not even thinking that way. But yes, something will have to give. We would've had to cut a sport if President Haynes had not stepped in and allotted more money to supplement the only $12,000 we received from the IRA," said Nichols.

"Each proposal needed to be innovative and student-oriented and could make an impact in the short time it has." He is referring to how the program ends in December of 2006. The program officially stared in January when there was a training session at CSU Fresno, where headquarters is located for the program. "The actual grant has already started," Angle said. "But paperwork still needs to be filled out. Hopefully, you'll see some action in spring, which is really a target time. The activities we'll be doing will relate to many of the activities students do in the springtime when the weather gets better, like spring break and parties." According to Angle, this all started in 2001 when the chancellor of the CSU schools, Charles Reed, was affected by an alcohol-related death of a Chico State student. "He felt he needed to do more for the safety of his students," said Angle. This led to a grant called the Sober Drive Initiative that lasted two years and ended just this January. CSUSM applied for this grant and did not get it. Fast-forward to today and CSUSM will begin administering the first phase of its program shortly. This will be a series of three short surveys over a period of two years. Motivation for students to take these surveys will be a random drawing of 20 $100 gift certificates to the book store on campus. This survey will ask Photo i llustration by P hoenix Lindgren / The Pride such questions as "Where do you most often consume alcohol offcampus?" and "Have you ever driven after drinking alcohol?" This grant has led to several students wondering why CSUSM needed to apply for the grant. "I don't think we have (and alcohol problem) compared to what other schools have," a freshman who lives on campus said. "People shouldn't be driving drunk," Nate Falzon, a commuter said. "It doesn't matter where they go. What's the point of them targeting a school?" According to Jonathan Poullard, dean of students, associate vice president of student affairs and chairman of the Substance Abuse Advisory Committee here, part of the reason that CSUSM applied for the grant was because roughly only seven percent of students live on campus and the majority of students commute. The canfipus just does not know the habits of its students. "Being a young institution, we felt that we could be more proac- CLASSIFIEDS EGG DONORS NEEDED Healthy Females ages 18-30.

"I am glad to hear that the nursing program is finally coming," said Matthew Garvin, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon who also hopes to get into the nursing program. "I volunteer at a hospital and I know how much the county needs nursing services." Karen Haynes, University President, remarked that it was almost the one year anniversary of her first day on the job. Haynes emphasized the three important building blocks for the university. The first and most important one is "academic excellence," so that the school will send out well-prepared graduates. The second building block is "intellectual and cultural activities," not only for the campus, but also for the people in the community. The third block is "civic leadership," which is important because it makes the school more visible and helps it to grow. Haynes commended the students for the 73,000 hours of community service that have been recorded and performed by 15,000 students. As the raindrops started to fall and umbrellas began popping open, Haynes said, "The motto, 'We're building a place for you' is dated. I think Cal State San Marcos is the place." Jackie Trischman, Chair of the Academic Senate, was the next to speak. Her fact-filled report related that this semester CSUSM faculty taught over 600 courses and there were over 1150 class sections offered. She also announced that two new minors, Global Studies and German were going to be offered, and 151 new course proposals were being reviewed. Trischman said that the goal for the school is to, "Help you decide not only what you want to be, but who you want to be when you graduate." "It is good news about the new classes they will be offering" said Biochemistry major Euphemia Uhegbu. "It was also good that they talked about solving the problems with the increased traffic because of the student growth." As the final speaker, ASI President Manal Yamout thanked the audience for staying even though it was starting to rain. Yamout emphasized how she has seen the level of student involvement increase over the last few years as the campus has grown and encouraged students to run for office in the upcoming ASI election. ASI has had a very busy year registering over 800 students to vote, lobbying at the state capitol for student rights and arranging many campus events such as the upcoming Academic Freedom Forum which will be held March 22. "After the formal speeches, the panel accepted questions from the audience regarding how the university is going to handle the traffic issues, improve the academic advising department and deal with budget constraints. President Haynes was asked about the controversial bill SB5, which she denounced as an illthought out bill that clearly does not understand what universities are about and misrepresents what faculties are hired to do. As the rain began to fall in earnest, it was announced that all of the questions would be posted and answered on the ASI website which can be found at: www.csusm.edu/asi.

"I love the sports we have now, but they are not spectator sports. It's really hard to watch a cross-country meet, so we want to bring sports * that have spectator appeal," said Nichols. CSUSM has approximately 80 students participating in intercollegiate sports. "By the time all the new sports have kicked in, it would double or triple our current size," said Nichols. Nichols added, "If wq have more recognizable sports teams, it will make the degree more valuable because people have heard where you've graduated from." "Personally, I'll gain nothing as a student," said Linda Deblens, literature and writing grad student. "Since I did my undergrad at a school that had a rich athletic tradition, I support the referendum as I know the positive aspects it can bring to student life," said Ian Gould, ASI post baccalaureate representative. "Our office only offers neutral information so students can make an informed decision," said Francine Martinez, vice president of student affairs. "I think students need to get this information so they can make their voices heard on whether or not this is an important initiative for them," said Martinez. Information about the athletics fee referendum is available through student affairs. The athletics department plans to campaign for the new fee in the next coming weeks with classroom presentations and student forums. Students will vote on the fee March 21-24. The complete athletics fee referendum can be found at www.csusm.edu/student affairs/athleticvote. The Pride denied ballot access BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer Next month, Cal State San Marcos students will be asked to vote on a new mandatory $40 fee to fund campus Athletics; they will not be asked to vote on a new mandatory $2.50 fee to fund the student newspaper. The Pride submitted a fee proposal last fall that would have generated approximately $ 18,000 per semester to cover production costs of the weekly studentrun, student-written newspaper, eliminating budget gaps caused by inlying on the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) fee, which nearly ended production of The Pride in 2003. "As it stands right now, The Pride is not going to shut down; we can survive on what we get from IRA," said Elizabeth Baldwin, Pride Co-Editor-in-Chief. "What I mean by survive is black and white, eight pages, all semester." When asked what the fee would have meant to The Pride, Baldwin was matter-of-fact. "The immediate impact that the fund would have made on the newspaper would have been an immediate jump to a consistent twelve pages a week with color-every single week—minimum," said Baldwin. Mike Dolan, Pride Co-Editorin-Chief, also saw the Pride proposal in terms of other groups on campus vying for IRA funds. "To get The Pride away from the IRA funding would have opened up funding for more activities on campus, and provided more autonomy for The Pride," said Dolan. Both Dolan and Baldwin believe the switch to color would Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay. Please contact Laura Toll free 877-950-9254 have had an increasingly positive effect. "Having color in a newspaper always increases readership. We had projected doubling our circulation immediately to 5,000 copies—eventually distributing off-campus; right now we don't even have a stand at the Field House," said Baldwin. The addition of color and increased circulation would have meant an increase in advertising rates, which would have allowed The Pride to buy things like office furniture and computers, and send more students to journalism conferences. Baldwin was emphatic that the fee was strictly limited to covering production costs. "We were asking students to pay for the cost of the printed paper they pick up," said Baldwin. In a memorandum dated January 14, 2005, Pride editors were informed of President Haynes decision not to solicit input from students on The Pride fee p ro-. posal. "I was very shocked," said Baldwin. "I was shocked because I felt like we put together a very thorough proposal. I was shocked because we were only asking for $2.50, and the fact that we were modeling v a program that's already been in place at Sac(ramento) State, where they've (their newspaper program has)flourished." "That's the system," added Dolan. "We did our best— we went through the system. The President thinks Athletics has more of an impact on the campus." When asked how she felt about the Athletics proposal going forward, Baldwin was stoic. "I personally feel athletics is a good thing for a campus, but I'm just so shocked. I really don't think this is like the newspaper versus the athletics department. What we were asking for is so much less—why couldn't we be on the ballot together?" said Baldwin.

"The counsel did recommend (to President Haynes) that the student newspaper fee be included on the ballot; we think it's important that students weigh in (on the issues)," said Martinez. When asked how frequently the University President has exercised his or her power not to accept the SFAC's recommendation, Martinez responded that former President Gonzalez did so twice during his six years at CSUSM, "on two different recommendations—a (mandatory fee) referenda recommendation and on a user fee adjustment." Haynes' decision not to allow students to vote on the student newspaper fee would be her first exercise of that power; Haynes had been president of CSUSM for less than one year at the time of her decision. Haynes was unavailable for either an in-person or a telephone interview, but did answer several questions via email. When asked why she didn't include The Pride proposal on the referendum, Haynes expressed concern over the current climate for increasing student fees. Haynes stated that, "the Chancellor's Office (where the final decision is made regarding the establishment of new student fees) has requested that campus Presidents exercise close scnitiny in establishing new mandatory fees " The Pride has requested confirmation of this directive from Chancellor Reed's office, but it was not received prior to press time. Both Haynes and Martinez believe that passage of the Athletics fee could benefit The Pride by frèeing up IRA funds from Athletics. In addition, Haynes stated that, "The IRA fee will be assessed this spring to determine if increasing this fee could support the newspaper at a higher level." The IRA fee has not been increased since its establishment in 1991. Haynes denied that The Pride's coverage of Michael Moore last semester influenced her decision. When asked if the fee would have meant an increase in salaries for editors of The Pride— which currently range from nothing for Copy Editor to $2,500 for Co-Editor-in-Chief per semester, Baldwin said, "No-the fee proposal was only to cover the actual costs of printing." The Athletics Department has other ideas about spending their potential referendum windfall. According to the Athletics Fee Referendum Voter Information web page prepared by the Student Fee Advisory Council (http://www.csusm.edu/student_affairs/athletic_vote.htm), the proposed mandatory $40 Athletics fee will generate nearly $300,000 per semester, most of which will pay the salaries of additional coaching staff. Athletics hopes to increase staff salaries from $40,000 per semester to nearly $200,000 per semester as it adds five new sports to the four it currently offers.

The General Education Lifelong Learning or GEL is a class that is aimed at making freshman learn studying tools, and also become well-rounded responsible citizens. First off, GEL was first introduced into the campus curriculum in 1995, when the first freshmen were enrolled at the campus. The course was intended to get students involved with the campus; and it was designed to help with academic discipline; help students to choose a major, and finally to assist students in the retention of knowledge gained from their courses. In spite of the objectives of the class, which seem like a great way to start off freshman year, the students of CSUSM aren't too thrilled about GEL. Students around campus feel that getting into college itself means that we can successfully manage time and study, some of the basic teachings of the class. But is there more to this class than meets the eye? After an interview with Joanne Pedersen, Ph.D. the Associate Director for First-Year Programs, she said, "The purpose of GEL is to enhance student success." This seems like a pretty large goal at hand and one that is quite intangible at the freshman level. Photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride G E L s tudents s it attentively d uring lecture. Mark Thomas, a student at CSUSM said, "I just don't understand why we have to pay for a class that the majority of students don't need to take." Despite having to take a class such as GEL to complete a government required course, it should be a class that is worth taking, but most students do not feel that way while taking the class. "Studies done by multiple universities," Pedersen said, "show that 30-40% of students drop out between their freshman and sophomore year." Pedersen later went on to say that with proH^HM grams like GEL, studies show that students are less likely to drop out and receive a better GPA throughout their college life. With this knowledge in hand it seems that GEL is a spot on perfect example of a freshman general education course. But students still aren't happy with the initial impact of the course. Before dreading going to class, think of how this class will benefit your This course was intended to get students involved with the campus future. Due to the simple topics at hand, or the things that all freshman "think they automatically know" coming into this new school, it seems that students aren't taking this course seriously. Yet in the long run this course will help students no matter how they feel in the present time. Down the road it could help students like Mark to acquire a job with skills he learned in the class. So before the class is judged by its surface, kind of like a book is judged by its cover, sit down and listen to the professors and hear what they have to say. Maybe new students will retain some of that knowledge. After all that was the goal of the course in the first place. R EED, from page 1 Ishmael Reed to CSUSM as part of the Arts & Lectures series. Dr. Sam Hamod, a creative writing professor and a good friend of Reed's, unabashedly introduced him as, "one of the world's greatest writers." Poetry is at its best when it is read aloud, and Reed captivated the audience with his rich, booming voice. He shared poems from a new album that he is producing called, "Bad Mouth," which is being distributed by Blue Note Records. The appreciative crowd burst into laughter at many of his one-line poems such as; "Van Gogh killed himself because he felt that sooner or later his paintings would be displayed in Las Vegas," or "I'd rather have my short term memory back than an El Dorado Cadillac." His longer pieces titled; "In a War Such Things Happen," and "Wanting to be a Right Wing Family Values Type of Man," were heartily applauded as the audience absorbed the underlying meanings of his satirical messages. Student Bellamy Walker said that, "It was really amazing to hear such an intellectual speak on our level and about our issues for black Americans." After reading his poetry, Reed held a question and answer session. When asked how he finds his ideas, Reed stated that he gets them from many different places because he gets asked to do so many dif- Photo by Yvonne Brett / The Pride Photos courtesy of Susie Lan-Cassel ferent things. This variety is good because writing in different forms helps to unblock your mind. In addition to his books he has written numerous essays, opinion pieces, and five plays. His next project will be to write a book about Muhammad Ali and his spiritual beliefs. Sonia Gutierrez, a former CSUSM grad student said, "I am a great admirer of African American literature and that is where I find my own voice " Gutierrez, who now teaches at Palomar College, had cancelled her evening class to come and hear Reed speak. After the lecture Reed stayed and graciously signed autographs for the many admirers of his craft. His visit was definitely one of the highlights of the activities celebrating Black History Month at CSUSM. �Transition team at CSUSM Rodolfo Acuña to VUSD students interact with campus life BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III Pride Staff Writer Areli, J.R., Justin, Bruce, Vianey, Rusby, Armando, Marcella, and William are the students who help keep our campus clean. These students are part of a transition program run through Vista Unified School District in conjunction with the Facility Services Department of CSUSM. The transitional program itself has been in operation on campus for ten years with the main focus being a way for the students involved to gain life skills, practice personal autonomy, and learn work habits such as following directions and seeing a task through to the end. Students involved in the transition program work Monday through Thursday from 7:15 a.m. until 1:15 p.m. Depending upon where the students live, their day begins anywhere from 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Once on campus, the students, accompanied by their teachers Steve Molina and Dora Stabinski, meet in the dome and receive their duties for the day. The student's main duty is to clean campus but Photo by Loriann Samano / The Pride Molina said "the students do what ever is asked of them and there is always variation." Like most eighteen to twenty-two year olds, the student's favorite part of the day is break time. This gives the students a chance to eat lunch in the Dome and gain additional social skills through interaction with the student population here on campus. The students involved with the transitional program are excited with the opportunity of being able to interact with other students and observe day to day campus life. All students involved in the transitional program were enthusiastic with the only complaint being witnessing other students litter and disrespecting our beautiful second home. "This is an excellent opportunity for them to develop life skills and we also get to benefit from them," said Chuck Walden, director of facility services. "I think they are a great group of young people." The transitional program is both innovative and outstanding for all parties involved. So next time you see these students keeping our campus clean give them a smile, hug, or a high-five and express to them our gratitude f or a job well done. como to campus Founder of Chicano Studies speaks as part of Arts and Lectures series t hroughout the United States.

BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer Priority President Evan Trown meets with The Pride BY ZACHERY SIMON Pride Staff Writer The fickle Gods of Time and Information always seem to make themselves scarce when students consider joining a campus club. Still, those searching defiantly for a group to exercise their beliefs, rather than merely their tastes, might take a moment for any of the three Christian organizations here at CSUSM. To help provide some guidance, The Pride has conducted interviews with two club leaders and hopes to include the third as well. This week we'll be sharing our conversation with Evan, president of 'Priority Christian Challenge', following up next week with Paul from 'Christ on Campus'. The questions were intended to give students, and perhaps the leaders themselves, a better idea of the beliefs that govern these clubs. Evan Trown's first hello into the tape recorder is nervous, new to the format, but a pleasant humor suppresses any shyness. Let's get some background on the club, how long has it been active here at CSUSM? Priority started about 5 years ago, and I've been here for two. How long have you been the president? Actually I just started in December. So I was the vice president last semester, and then got promoted. Was this a democratic process? How did that go in terms of the ranking? Pretty much is...if you feel like you're called upon to be i n a position of leadership then you, like, apply for it and then pretty much if you want to be it...theeen you are. (laughs) Our president graduated in December, and I decided that I would like to be president, and that I felt like God on campus and we actually go to one of the was telling me to.. .to step up into the next other clubs and we are almost identical in everything we do, um, we all believe the position of leadership. How does your club approach recruit- same thing, the three clubs on this campus do anyway, and um basically we just proment? vide dif times and dif locations where Pretty much we just try and make sure that we are open and available to anyone people can come to meet. How much do...excuse me, how much on campus who wants to be involved, 'does9 your-your organization, uh, comjust try and, um, just try and create some campus awareness for our club and just get munity, aid...that kind of external helping out? How much community aid do members through that way. What do you feel is your role within you think your organization provides? Um, probably not as much as we should the campus community? be or would like to be. We don't have as As a club I feel like our role is just to make Christ's presence on this campus many members as we would (chuckles) like to or as we've known, and had in the past, really to, um, so its hard to be just create just - as- involved in a place whether the community through our club we do um were or where stuinvolved in the dents can come sexual responand just feel the sibility week love of Christ that's... next and just hang out week, I think, with other people um, we try and on campus.

What do you think is the best part about reach things outside of the campus but running a Christian organization in the mostly our focus is on this campus and spreading the word of Christ to the stu21st century? dents that are on this campus. Well At least for us here on this campus Now, what would you say are some of in the United States I feel like we're just the benefits and some of the setbacks of blessed because we can have this room to have this club on our campus. I don't attending a secular university? Um -benefits- would be that it's moreknow I just love the fact that we have the more open there's a lot more students here freedom to meet and talk about god on our that that you can reach um from a Chrispublic school campus. How would you compare your orga- tian perspective and that enables you to nization to other spiritually centered have the opportunity to-to witness and share the gospel with more people. Probyouth organizations? I think it's pretty much the same, I mean ably some of the setbacks would be just the I know there's two other Christian clubs uh (chuckles a breath) the unsaved people that um oppose the things that our clubs does and just the difficulties and the whole process of having to go through the secular campus, uh, rules and regulations before we can have any sort of events. Thank you...Um, Gettin down to the final questions here. Does your club have a unified concept of heaven? I think so, most of us, uh, were, well a lot of us were raised in church settings, so most of us have some preconceived notions of everything, that basically what we learn in our club, from past church experiences and what not, so really think do have kinda...a common belief in what heaven is, and that kind of a thing. Do people who die having rejected Christ go to Hell? I believe so, yes. We um as a club and as an individual believe that um people who have not asked Christ to.. .have a personal relationship with them are going to Hell. And that.. .1 mean that says so right in the bible, so. Okay um, the final question, I know you mentioned earlier there were two other Christian...oriented clubs on campus. Why do you think there are three separate organizations? You know a lot of people ask us that question and we even ask ourselves that question sometimes. Mostly, it's because we're each funded by a dif church. So, our club is funded by a Baptist organization, and Christ on campus, the other club is sponsored by the Episcopalian church, and Intervarsity has its own backing from, I don't know, they're like a huge organization, So, pretty much because we all have these different funds it actually allows us to have um various times that we can meet that can meet the needs of all the students on campus, �Feb. 22-24 I 10:00 a m - 3:00 p m C outyard o utside of U niversity Store UNIVERSITY �THE PRIDE Tuesday, February 22, 2005 IT ; By JASON NOKSJS P Ä Ombudsman I can take off that fatty clock 'round my neck and let up on Chez.

And let me just say* whether you take WilHams' side or not, you have to give the dude credit for having the mahooshkas to put himself on the public opinion slab. There's a lot of talking heads on this campus that abuse this paper to give their nickel opinions five-dollar words. (Count me amongst 'em.) But Williams ain't one of us. Until Chez's article last week, Williams had avoided attempts for an interview. To grant one in the face of an investigation that found Baker and Poncherello were okay to put the cuffs on, shoots down all theories that suspected Williams was doing this just to pull a 'Get Out of J ail'free card, My ethereal hat goes off to Chez and most of all to Mr. Williams.

(I'm a History/Lit major if you're missing the point) An experience akin to custody visits with divorcing parents* Either way, I've been just as much a victim of the advising woes of History freaks as the rest of me classmates. Matt balanced those woes with the reasons for them. Something that tends to be lacking in our news stories. I felt no manipulations or bias, though I know Schramm is a classmate and so faces the same advising probs. It was nice to get a balanced perspective on the situation that didn't place blame on the Advising office who've been doing their best to tackje that Beast that came from Sacramento. (Budget cuts.)

The military and education both have different scales, it does cost more to defend the country then it does to educate, but that's not the point I am trying to make. The point is that the military is receiving a significantly larger percentage of money compared to education. In my opinion, that says something about the value of education versus the value of national defense/Iraqi liberation. I think it's great that the President wants to cut our debt in half, but at the expense of education? Some of the programs that are going to be cut from schools are vocational programs at the high school level, Safe and Drug-Free School grants, money for technology, Upward Bound programs for inner-city youth, and the Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program (ESSCP). By cutting thè ESSCP, students are going to lose counseling and mental health services and school counselors will lose their jobs. Counselors are crucial for academic success especially for students with learning disabilities. 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd.

Isn't there already enough pressure to get into college without the undue stress of annual standardized tests? Bush's purpose is to narrow the achievement gap between richer districts and poorer districts. I agree with what Bushy has to say about quality education, narrowing the achievement gap and providing equal education to children of all backgrounds...I just disagree with the way he goes about doing it. There is no incentive for high school students to do well on yearly standardized testing, in fact the worse they do, the more money their school will get with Titfe I funding. It is still their SAT scores that are going to get them into college. Well, I will benefit from Bush's Pell Grant increase (it pays to not be employed and to be a full time student), but I just don't see how elementary and secondary schools are going to benefit. �A shot of whiskoywith a university bureacratic chaser BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer If you have been at Cal State San Marcos for a few years, you will undoubtedly remember the CORE survey o f2002. The CORE survey examined the drinking habits of CSUSM students. Not surprising, we learned that there was not a significant problem with excessive alcohol consumption at our school. (Who could forget the mouse pads and posters blasting us with statistics designed to make us think otherwise before having that third or fourth drink when out on the town?) Why is it that CSUSM has now received a $48,000 portion of a state grant designed for alcohol and traffic safety? It seems to me that if there is not a significant problem with drinking on campus, and the student population in general cannot be categorized as "problem drinkers," then what exactly will the University implement with this money? According to the January 31 press release announcing this award, the money will go to further surveys and research aimed "to identify the highest risk alcohol-licensed establishments patronized by San Marcos students." These 'problem' bars in the. community will then be subject to "comprehensive risk assessment inventories" Photos by Michael Dolan / The Pride that will give the University information to dissuade students from going to those places. In addition, the bars that are identified as problematic will find themselves in a Big Brother dragnet as the University teams with local law enforcement "to increase visibility of DUI checkpoints in and around areas frequented by students." Am I the only one who is creeped out with a chill of fascism? First off, the University must back off. If students are of legal drinking age and are respected as individuals, then the choices they make are their own. If they want to go to a bar and drink, the University should not interfere. If they want to test the waters and run the DUI gauntlet, then let law enforcement do their job without the information of where and when students will be drinking being hande4 to tirads-' I t ' them by the University. This is the worst kind of liberal left 'we know what is best for you' combined with fastidious right 'you will fall in line and do what we say is right' I have seen proposed on our campus. I drink in San Marcos often at places I can safely assume will soon be 'problem' bars. I drive home from these bars. I am a responsible adult of 28 years and know when not to drive home after drinking. I do not, however, look forward to ditching checkpoints on my way home so that I can avoid an arbitrary and static BAC standard which if I exceed will land me in jail. This is soon the reality, though. I hope the University reconsiders its priorities. Failing that, I hope the people stand up and call for responsible accountability of their tax dollars from where this grant money originates. Hunter S. Thompson In drunken memory of Hunter S.

ASI hosts Casino Night in the Field House BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer What happens in the Field House, stays in the Field House. All that was missing was the noisy clamor of the slot machines when the ASI sponsored Casino Night last Thursday. Participants were handed $500 in play money as they came in the door, which they traded in for chips to play poker, roulette or blackjack. Dealers in white shirts and bow ties from Casino Magic ran the tables. Erik Groset, the Director of Social Programming for ASI was in charge of the event, attended by around 200 people. "I couldn't have done it without the help of the ASI Program Board," said Groset. The group is planning another evening within the next few months that would feature poker games.

Drawings were held at the end of the evening and lucky winners went home with prizes like: a trip for two to Laughlin, the Halo 2 game for X-Box, a George Foreman grill, a cordless mouse, an I-Pod Shuffle, and many more. Travis Roger, who attends Palomar, but lives in the UVA was checking out the prize table with his roommate Jorgen Havre who is from Bergen, Norway. "I am having f un enjoying the American lifestyle," said Havre. He laughingly added that he is, "looking for an American sweetheart to bring back to Europe."

Keanu is wooden as "Constantine" N either M ilton, n or H eaven, n or H ell c an save D C C omics a daptation BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer Demons. Brimstone. CGI. John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is a self-appointed agent of demon exorcism in this DC comic book adaptation of "Hellblazer." "Constantine" is a carry-over of John Milton's epic, "Paradise Lost," about a war between Heaven and Hell. In the story, humans are supposed to be left alone to their own devices and without direct intrusion from either Heaven or Hell. Each side tries to collect as many souls as it can, and the one with the most souls wins. Milton, a pro-Protestant, would not be too keen on the idea that the Catholics of Constantine are the heroes. Constantine was born with a gift that he doesn't understand. He eventually attempts suicide but doesn't succeed and returns to Earth after a spell in Hell. Catholic doctrine states that suicide is a one-way ticket to Hell, so Constantine develops his skill of sending demons home in order to secure a ticket into Heaven. He is recruited by Angela (Rachel Weisz), to solve the unanswered question of why her sister committed suicide. Along the way, they battle demons with weapons Photos courtesy of Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. of angelic origin. The highlights of the movie are the special effects and action. If the plot is overdone, or even confusing, the action should keep you entertained. It received an "R" rating and maybe saved the movie for me. A "PG-13" would have been too boring with the bad acting and old plot. It has some gory scenes that may even rival that of "The Exorcist," but is counteracted but a lot of dry, dark humor by the character Constantine. The story is far from original, and has been better explained. In fact I could count the number of movies it borrowed from, like "The Prophecy", "Blade" and even "Dogma." As usual, Reeves pulls a subpar performance, I still don't understand why someone with the personality of a wooden doll seems to keep getting work. I do give him credit for trying a character with a morose sense of humor, but he delivers it with force. Even Weisz seems to be brought down by Reeves and acts below her norm. There was a surprising performance by rock star Gavin Rossdale of Bush. He brings an eerie performance to the demon Balthazar. If the movie's purpose was to produce an original story with a great plot or even good acting, it failed. If its purpose was to make an action film based on a comic book, with decent special effects, then it did a good job. so-so DECENT GREAT � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We've all heard the conversations bashing the food quality, the prices and the look, but the conversations might just come to an end. The Dome is getting ready for an extreme makeover, Cal State San Marcos style. . Christopher Wood, head chef for the Dome, is expecting some money (the amount is not yet known) from the Cal State San Marcos Foundation to begin what many students say are much needed renovations. "I have a very positive outlook for food service in the Dome in the near future," said Wood. "It will certainly be something to look forward to." Ginny Robertson, a senior at Cal State San Marcos, said, "I think the Dome is ugly. It's been the same color for the past ten years, so they should change it." Another student, junior Nelenie Aronce had some unenthusiastic thoughts as well. "The food is expensive, and it's a last resort when you're really, really hungry," said Aronce.

Wellness month is also aimed at helping to promote a sense of well-being around the campus. All month long events will be held in the Clark Field House and free lunches and prizes will be given out. In addition advice will be given on many emotional and mental issues Cal State San Marcos students face. Along with prizes given out at individual events, a wellness pursuit card can be obtained at every Wellness Month event attended, and at the end of March the cards can be redeemed for shirts and other prizes. The biggest event of Wellness Month, The Wellness Fair and Expo, is being held tomorrow Wednesday March 9. From 11 am - 2 pm at the Clarke Field House there will be wellness information along with prizes, free food, a golf clinic, and raffles. Following the expo, free massages will be available until 5 p.m. The Fair and Expo is being put on by the Clark Field House in conjunction with Student Health Services.

The multi-colored banners and chutes attracted the attention of many passers-by. According to deGhetaldi, budget cuts in public education have caused a lack of formal physical education in elementary schools. As part of her class, Dr. deGhetaldi is instructing student teachers fun and innovative ways to incorporate physical education back into the elementary school system. "It's critical for us to continue teaching physical education at the elementary school level," said deGhetaldi. Students in the class seemed to enjoy learning the activities. "It's a f un class, a lot better than normal PE," said Carrie Wade, a student in the class. Students will vote for their new ASI representatives March 21-24. Candidates have now started their campaigning process to vie for your vote. To be an informed voter, students can read statements from the candidates in this issue of The Pride.

As Cal State San Marcos grows into the campus that it is destined to be, I feel excited and motivated to have the opportunity in shaping the future of this school. As the current Undergraduate Representative, I will continue to battle for inclusiveness and shared governance for the proud students of our campus. Nicholas J. Bonomi Business Major, emphasis in Service Sector Management College of Business Representative Hello everyone, I am running for ASI College of Business Rep. I would appreciate your vote for the following reasons. The Annual 04-05 ASI Projected budget was nearly 1.1 million dollars. Many students don't know what ASI stands for. If a student can identify ASI he/she is unlikely able to explain the organizations purpose. Most of the budget is spent on 150-200 students. 40.6% of the U million is spent on Administration, 17.7% is spent on the board of directors, and 15.3% goes to the ELC (Early Learning Center). This adds to 73.6%; if elected I will push to have funds allocated towards the campus population as a whole. I hope I get your vote to make ASI an efficient organization. Have a good semester. Ashley Nichole Dunn Bio-Chemestry Major V.P. of Finance I believe our purpose as executive members of ASI is to serve the students. One of the main things that I would do as V.R of Finance, is listen to the things that you as students would like to see at CSUSM. A few things that are important to me is keeping the cost of tuition and parking down, increasing class availability, and increasing advising availability.

It seems that too many people have no say in the decisions our school makes. The history department is an example of this. Our department traditionally has few or no representatives and there is no one to advocate for our needs. As a representative of the College of Arts and Science I will push for the inclusion of Latin American history into our campus. I will advocate for the general student body as well by pushing for fair prices. If you want an ASI that represents you and are sick of paying too much for a dirt parking lot, write in John Baden.

According to Romero, getting students and faculty to work together and promote a better campus environment for learning and relaxing is a big part of Wellness Month. During Wellness Month, coordinators like Devon will be promoting the six dimensions of wellness. The six dimensions of wellness are physical wellness, intellectual wellness, emotional wellness, spiritual wellness, social wellness and occupational wellness. Each of the six dimensions of wellness will be represented through different events pertaining to a particular dimension. Organizers are planning many different events that students can come and take place in, such as yoga, self-defense classes, and a seminar entitled Chicken Soup for the Cougar Soul. Each Monday during Wellness Month will be known as Blue Monday, and different events such as yoga, progressive relaxation, and guided imagery will accompany the morning's events. Each blue Monday will try and undertake one of the six dimensions of personal wellbeing.

Heather Hitson, senior women's studies major, organized this year's Women's History Month events. She said she struggled because of lack of funds, however was able to incorporate events suited for all. "We put together events that will accommodate all women. We wanted to create an array of events to accommodate any kind of person whether it is through culture or music to name a few," said Hitson. Women's studies was given a grant through CSUSM last year; however, this year Hitson was on her own to find funds to put together these events. Through various proposals written by Hitson some money did come through. "I didn't know coming into this position that I was going to have to put so much effort in finding the funds because last year Women's Studies had funds straight from CSUSM. I was disappointed at the lack of help from CSUSM since 63 percent of our campus is made up of women," said Hitson.

"I love working in a University environment, but I wish I could just go, go, go! There is a radical sense of urgency," said Wood. Short term plans include mirrors to make the Dome look bigger, painting with neon or bright colors, and an upgrade to the look and names of the five eateries currently in the Dome. In addition the food will also have a new taste. The salad bar will offer more choices, we will be introduced to new pizza flavors such as b-b-q chicken and four cheese, the sub station will adopt a new superhero theme, the quick serve grill will incorporate a blue plate special and the House of Tsang (half Asian and half Italian) will transform into a bigger Mexican food concept. Long term goals include picking up square footage to make the Dome bigger, and possibly bringing branded units into the new area. This wouldn't be the first extensive renovation in the Dome's history. In September of 2002, the Cal State San Marcos Foundation spent more than $575,000 to design and outfit a new kitchen which included professional ovens, stoves, steamers, fryers, a stainless steel food prep area, pass-through refrigerators, and separate areas for dishwashing, food storage, and offices. Wood said he is very excited about implementing new menus that keep pace with the changing tastes of students. "Years ago it was ok to serve grilled cheese and tomato soup; now campuses have to offer as many choices as possible," he said. Wood said that even with changes in the menu he wants to, "maintain foods that will be affordable to the masses."

This is to say nothing of the triad of young, smart starters who could rival Oakland's Big Three given time - Brian Lawrence, Jake Peavy and my personal favorite, Adam Eaton. Padres boosters have a lot to look forward to this season. Other than the usual big San Diego names, there were solid performances coming out of return Padre and bench player Mark Sweeney, infielder Taggert Bozied, centerfielderDave Roberts and pitcher Rusty Tucker. This Padres team should have the bench depth that the 2004 squad sometimes struggled with. If Darrell May or someone else can perform as the fifth starter, expect them to go above and beyond their 2004 performance and contend for the division title.

So, the smart student will plan ahead. Spring Break vacation can be enhanced with the right tools of knowledge. Before planning a getaway, knowing where to go is a key point and several web sites list the most popular destinations for f un in the sun. The Travel Channel web site has its own list, including Cancun, Mexico as the second most popular destination. Since international destinations come with some much needed precautions, students should arm themselves with knowledge of health concerns within a certain region. Fear not, help is as easy as the Center for Disease Control (CDC). The CDC's traveler's health site contains information regarding health risks in regions throughout the world. Our own CSUSM web site has travel tips located on the University Global Affairs site at http://www.csusm. edu/UGA/Travelresources.htm. This site has links for traveler's health, currency converters and airport guides. There is also great information on problem areas that students should avoid traveling to. For international travel, students have many concerns to consider and should be aware of organizations like International Students Travel Confederation (ISTC). ISTC will help students to get organized for travel and offers student discounts around the world with the aide of an international student I.D. card. The group also provides company information for travel agents that deal discount fares for full time students. They can keep students informed and safe while traveling and list approved travel agencies that students can use in conjunction with ISTC. STA Travel is one of Itch's approved travel agencies and they have offices on the SDSU campus and one in the Pacific Beach area. Mike Medina of the SDSU office explained that students should be prepared when traveling, especially to a poetry BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Race, love, abuse, heartbreak, women's rights, and life in general.. .tough issues, but someone needs to talk about them. Poet and performance artist Bridget Gray will be making her third appearance at CSUSM in honor of Women's History Month. Sponsored by Student Residential Life, Gray will perform in Arts 240 at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 14. Regarded as one of the most refreshing spoken word artists, Gray is not afraid to tackle the issues in life that others tend to avoid. Her signature piece, "Shades of Gray," was released in 2001, and her second CD, "Self Love," will be issued this year. Gray has won many poetry slam competitions and has recently been the host of a nationally syndicated radio show called "Electric Moyo." Her dynamic stage presence and the relevance of her words will ~ surely make an entertaining evening for those who attend the performance. Gray will also be conducting a question and answer period after the performance and read- Photo courtesy of www.totalescape.com Above: Take time out to enjoy the outdoor scenery of Cabo. Right: Socialize with other spring-breakers in Cancun. foreign country. "Do a little research," said Medina, because students must know the laws of the country they plan to visit. STA Travel offers package deals to students traveling and is already booking for summer vacation. Local all inclusive travel companies, such as Summer Winter Action Tours (S.W.A.T.), offer full packages and group tours. For one price, they include transportation, accommodations and free S.W.A.T events. They have trips to Mexico that include Rosarito and San Felipe. The tour is for members only and gives a safe way to travel in a large group. The company has EMT's on site and corresponds with the local law enforcement to ensure cooperation.

A central focus of the article is a search for some rationale for this decision. Several are considered - perhaps President Haynes values athletics more than the newspaper? Or is it a bit of revenge for The Pride's coverage of the Michael Moore situation? Was the fee proposal not good enough? Don't people see how much improved the paper would be with twelve pages and color? Who could object to only $2.50, none of it going to salaries? As the author of the athletics fee proposal, I would like to share my experienced in the long process of developing the proposal - because what I learned as I went through the process sheds a lot of light on why my fee is on the ballot, while the newspaper fee is not. And not to give away the punch line, but...it has nothing to do with any of the above. When I took the position as Athletics Director, my first task was (is!) to address the funding problems we face. Despite a record of excellence that might surprise you if you haven't been following our golf, cross-country and track teams ~ eight Far West Regional Championships, 15 finishes the Top Twenty in year-end national rankings, 44 NAIA AllAmericans, a national champion in the women's marathon - our department was on the verge of being shut down due to lack of funding. I quickly learned why. I contacted every other AD in the CSU system and discovered that we are the only campus in the entire CSU that has no student fee funding for intercollegiate athletics! At every other CSU campus - in fact, as one AD told me, at virtually every other public university in the country - students pay a set fee to f und the athletics program. State money supplements that fee revenue, but no athletics program exists on general fund money alone, as we had been trying to do. So the problem was clear; the solution, though, was not so simple. Several of the Athletics Directors I spoke with over the summer shared something else with me: the CSU Chancellor's Office had imposed a "soft moratorium" on campus-based fees. What's a soft moratorium, you ask? I had to ask, too - and so began a series of conversations with some pretty important people in the CSU hierarchy: Patrick Lenz, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Budget Development, and Chris Canfield, the CSU's Lead Budget Analyst. QTT ONZOMV Here's what I learned from them: the Chancellor is concerned that, in this era of budget cuts to the campuses, individual CSU schools might be too quick to turn to campus-based student fees to make up the difference. Hence the moratorium: no offsetting the declines in funding by imposing new campus fees; no asking students to foot the bill for things that were once funded by other sources, because you worry that those other funding sources might be dry up. This is where the " soft" part of the fee moratorium comes into play. The CSU recognizes that not all proposals for new fees will fall into the category just described, and thus an absolute ban on any and all fees is too extreme. So the Chancellor's Office will consider allowing a new student fee under certain circumstances - but the proposer has to make the case for it. That is exactly what I did with the athletics fee proposal. I made the case that we are the only CSU in the system that does not have an athletics fee - that this is a standard fee, found at all CSUs (and all public universities); we just don't have it here because we are a relatively new campus, and our athletics program is newer still. The folks at the Chancellor's Office accepted that reasoning and indicated they would allow our fee to go forward. The Pride finds itself in a very yvirji different situation. As I understand it, it is very rare in the CSU for a student paper to be supported by its own student fee. It may be, in fact, that only Sacramento State has such an arrangement. This puts The Pride at a real disadvantage: not only is such a fee not commonly found throughout the CSU, the fact is that almost nobody else does it that way. That being the case, I can tell you, based on my own conversations with the people who make these decision in the Chancellor's office, that there is virtually no way the Chancellor would have approved The Pride fee. A novel, new fee that exists at very few other campuses is simply not something the CSU administration will support now. President Haynes, well aware of all this, made the tough decision: since there is no chance it will be approved by the CSU, there is no sense spending campus time, money and energy campaigning for it and voting on it. So the fact that the newspaper fee is not on the ballot has nothing to do with anyone placing greater value on The Pride than on athletics; it's not "athletics versus The Pride" in any sense. Both are good for this campus, and just as campus life will benefit from more vibrant athletics offerings, especially spectator sports, so too woujd it have been great for the newspaper to be longer talking and in color. It has nothing to do with Michael Moore; if you think President Haynes is so petty and vindictive as to operate that way, you don't know her very well. It has nothing to do with the quality of the proposal (members of the Student Fee Advisory Committee have told me it was very good), and no, $2.50 is not too much to ask. But none of that is the point; rather, the point is that the newspaper fee, even had students passed it overwhelmingly, would have fallen victim to the Chancellor's soft moratorium. I'll conclude with a wish and a hope. I wish someone had alerted those who worked on The Pride fee proposal of this reality long ago, before they spent considerable time and energy on their fee proposal; it is a long, arduous process, and I'm sorry to see anyone go through it for naught. And the hope? The athletics department is not even going to apply for any funds from the Instructionally Related Activity fund this year (if the athletics fee passes, we won't need it; if it fails, the IRA funds won't save us). I sincerely hope The Pride gets a nice share of what we might have gotten; twelve color pages would be nice.

BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI Pride Staff Writer This may seem like an extension of what is now looking to be a regular feature of The Pride, but "The Spongebob Squarepants Movie" is definitely a guilty pleasure. If you have kids or a younger sibling, you might be able to get away with renting or buying this movie without getting too much slack from the cashier. The rest of you may just have to wear dark sunglasses and a scarf for fear of recognition. But the movie is just so funny you can't help but giggle. Like when Patrick asks the princess if she wants to see his underwear. Or when Spongebob gets killed off. Wait. Did I just say that? Yes, Spongebob does get killed off in the movie.

And I must say he has the strongest pecks I have ever seen. The premise of the story involves the Krusty Krab burger competitor, who is jealous of the burger joint's success. He steals King Neptune's crown and frames the restaurant owner. Spongebob tries to recover the crown so that he can save his boss and prove that he is a loyal employee. The result is a comical adventure that amuses both young and old. The DVD is packed with a few great features too. For animation buffs, there are two featurettes exploring the making of the movie, including one that focuses on the creator of Spongebob, Stephen Hillenburg, and the writers of the movie. For Spongebob fans, there is an extra short clip called "Case of the Spongebob." You won't be seeing that on the Nickelodeon channel anytime soon. Then, for video game buffs, there a small preview of the video game that also branched out from the TV show and movie. It's just a lot of fun and laughs, but if you're too embarrassed to be spending somewhere around $20 to own this movie, at least go out and rent it so you too can join in the fun.

Richard Move and What is a six-foot tall man doing dressed up like a woman leaping across the stage? Why pretending to be Martha Graham of course! The independent film, "Ghostlight," starring Richard Move is the story of legendary dancer and choreographer, Martha Graham, told through the eyes of a fictitious filmmaker. Move plays the part of Martha, which in itself is ironic because he is over six feet tall and she barely measuredfivefeet. As he towers over the other dancers, he delivers his words of advice to them in a controlled, alto voice, teaching them the moves as well as infusing Martha's philosophies. Time in the movie is non-linear; it bounces backward and forward with fake historical film clips to help the viewer gain perspective into her life. Martha's famous "I thought it was inspiring,"-student Katie Summers friends, like the designer Halston, Liza Minelli, Helen Keller, and Deborah Harry (who appears in thefilm)also add an interesting dynamic to the movie. It is difficult to put a specific label on this movie. It seems like a biopic, but is delivered in a campy manner that has the audience trying to work out if they should take it seriously or not. In the end though, it felt like it was a heartfelt tribute to an icon of modern dance. The preview of "Ghostlight" was sponsored by the La Jolla Music Society and shown last Monday in Arts 240. The star of the movie, Richard Move, introduced the film and was available afterwards to answer questions. He said that thefilmwas started around 1998 and took four or five years tofinish.He also stars in a live show about Graham called, "Martha that has played in New York and has toured around the world. He laughingly said, "Martha is finally being represented by a body that is able to live up to her stature." "I thought it was inspiring," said CSUSM student Katie Summers. "I was really amazed." Another student, Isabel Gonzalez said, "It teaches you about the arts and how the creative process comes about." There is a tradition that dictates that a stage should never be completely dark after a show, and that is why a single lightbulb is left on all night. Richard Move's impersonation of Martha Graham has embraced the legend and he has become her own personal "ghostlight," keeping her memory alive in the hearts of her fans.

Now there's Franky G in Jonny Zero. Jonny Calvo (Franky G) was just released from prison after doing four years for beating a guy to death. He really wants to turn his life around (no drugs, no guns, no 'hos), but his world (which is, naturally, full of drugs, guns, and 4hos) makes it hard for Jonny to be a stand-up kinda guy. Jonny has a low-paying, legit job in a boxing gym, a high-paying job with the same boss/crime lord that helped him get into trouble in the first place (only this time Jonny is being forced to find some dirt on the guy for the cops), and he moon- Photo courtesy of Warner Bros. Television lights as a do-good, private investigator, helping folks in the 'hood with assorted problems, generally caused by drugs, guns, and ' hos. There's lots of opportunity for moral dilemmas and chase scenes involving his cherry muscle car~ a red and white Chevy SS—but all that really matters is that Jonny has plenty of opportunity to remove his shirt—the guiltiest pleasure on network television this season. Opening with its now trademark poppy bass beat, the 1990s sitcom "Seinfeld" has brought me joy through all their kooky and crazy adventures. Jerry struck gold with this ground-breaking sitcom that followed the lives of four friends in New York just living out their lives; it was dry, cynical humor that was an antidote to the 1980s; it was the comedy—the witty and sarcastic eccentricities of each episode—that "Seinfeld" fans fell in love with. No matter how many times I've seen the same episode, you'll still see a smile on my face after every Kramer entrance or Elaine's "GET OUT" shove. Be it the physical comedy of Michael Richards (Cosmo Kramer), or the neurotic ramblings of Jason Alexander (George Costanza), "Seinfeld" has kept me ecstatic since my first episode. It is the simple human interactions that make this show my guilty pleasure. And with the release of the first three seasons on DVD you'll be sure to find me.. .well, actually you won't find me because I'll be bundled up in my room watching "Seinfeld" reruns. Tour de France BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer It all started quite innocently six years ago. Flipping through the channels, I landed on the Outdoor Life channel that was covering the Tour de France. Boring.. .but wait.. .these guys are pretty buff in their neon spandex! I started watching and next thing I knew I was hooked. For the next 21 days, I was compelled to w atchtwo to three hours of coverage a day—while learning useful French words like "maillot jaune" and "peloton." I was fascinated by the picturesque French countryside rolling by and the obligatory shot of the local cathedral. But it's not about the scenery, it's about the drama! Why is Lance chasing down the Italian hot shot? Is perpetual bridesmaid Jan fat again? Is Tyler on drugs? Will Robin do his comedy routine? Will the cameraman give us a good shot of a streaker? I know I'm not alone in my secret obsession, there are many more out there. You know those people you see wearing Lance's yellow rubber bracelets? They'll tell you it's about cancer awareness, but don't let them kid you: they x^ spend hours watching the XTDF, too. \ And we are all counting down the days until July 2. Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures Television Wifeswap Image courtesy of www.abc.com BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Photo courtesy of Jon Marsh / www.velophoto.com When a wealthy Southern Republican swaps lives with a liberal middle class lesbian, they don't exactly blend in to their new lives and the result is a fascinating reality show. I knew I was hooked from the beginning. Every week "Wife Swap" takes two extremely opposite people forces them to trade families for two weeks. For the first week they agree to live by the already established household rules and in the second week they are allowed to change the rules, forcing their new family to live by their rules. When the rules change the drama begins. Children resent being punished by someone other than their parents, clean houses become messy, messy houses clean up, boring people have fun, and it's great. At the end of the two weeks all the spouses are reunited and they sit down to talk. This gives people the chance to tell someone to their face what they think of their family, which often ends in a shouting match, or tears-many lessons go unlearned. There is no cash prize on this show, only the opportunity to learn from the experience. Unfortunately most of the people are too unwilling to change or accept the world from a different perspective. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

X III NO. 8 experiences of those effected by the current conflict BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Phi Alpha Theta and the History Club offered perspectives about the war from troops who served in Iraq, on Wednesday, March 9 with an event entitled "Boots on the Ground." Featuring soldiers who have served in the current conflict in Iraq as guest speakers, the forum was held in Academic Hall 102. This was the second of a series of talks on the Iraq issue that have been recently presented at CSUSM. After a brief introduction from Chris Mitchell, President of the History Club, the floor was turned over to Staff Sergeant Chris Kiefer, who was thefirstspeaker to present his story. Backed by power point presentations showing pictures and footage from Iraq, perspectives given at the forum came from ground forces, air and supply support forces, and even the view of those left behind at home. The range of views included those of different military service branches and gender, with the panel evenly split with two male and two female speakers. The majority of the forum offered personal stories of war and what life was like for soldiers in various theatresfightingover in Iraq. In specific details, the event managed to bring the conflict in Iraq down to a very human level detached from political views and heated debate as the speakers stood one by one and told their stories. Aside from the human aspects of the war and the intricacies of military life and sense of duty that the speakers talked about, the forum also revealed a basic uniform sentiment among those in military service.

Uniigren's H owever, rtsponsa this move is not realistic given the competitive g uidelines for admittance into this league of prominent college level athletics. The San Diego Union-Tribune recently profiled Cal State San Marcos President, Karen S. Haynesfirstyear. The article from March 13, 2005 stated, "When respondents (students) clamored for more campus life, she appointed the university's first athletic director and asked him to create more sports teams." This cooperation between the Administration and the Athletic Department outlines their desire for sports teams at Cal State San Marcos. The decision to go forward with sports teams brings many questions to the minds of students. The ultimate decision is left up to the student voters of Cal State San Marcos who will decide if the Athletics Fee Referendum is something they want to support. CSUSM does not qualify for membership the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and participates in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NCAA has three Divisions with San Diego State at the top. NAIA is one level above community college leagues. Cal State San Marcos participates in NAIA Region II with the Independents.

TROOPS, from page 1 The dominant message expressed among panelists was one of armed services accomplishment in Iraq. "From my experience they want us there and are very grateful," said Sgt. Kiefer speaking about his dealings with the majority of the Iraqi populace. Perhaps the most unique and rarely heard perspective given at the forum was that of Morgan Copeland McCorkle whose husband is currently serving in Iraq. The life of an army wife, McCorkle noted, was to not only support the troops but also to support their families and spouses at home, both physically and emotionally. So far McCorkle's husband has been away on military duty for over two years of their seven year relationship. there to promote their trails system and organized hikes. Non-profit groups such as the American Cancer Society, Lupus Foundation, Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention, American Liver Foundation, Risk Management, and Student Health Services were also on hand educating students about the services that they offer. Other activities included a stress relief room with punching bags, a relaxation room and a tent building contest sponsored by Associated Students Inc. (ASI). Throughout the event raffle prizes donated by the various participants were handed out to the lucky winners. Devon Romero, Fitness Coordinator and an organizer of the event said she felt the Wellness Fair and Expo went "fabulous." "It was nice to see a lot of students come down, intermingle and learn from vendors," said After the forum ended the floor was briefly turned over to the audience to ask questions. Although there was an obvious difference in political viewpoints present in the room, Photo courtesy of Phi Alpha Theta (Left to Right) 1st Lt. Cathy Harrington, Captain James Mullin, Staff Sgt.

Romero. According to Romero approximately 600 students, faculty and staff attended the four hour event. Romero said that, "more people came out and there were more donations and vendors," this year. Romero largely attributed the increase in involvement to the fact that this year wellness activities are during the entire month of March, while last year there was only the Wellness Fair and Expo event. After the Wellness Fair and Expo there was a massage room set up from 2:15 to 5 p.m. in the Field House where free massages were given. The Academy of Professional Careers: School of Massages donated 4 massage chairs and 6 massage therapists for the event.

A round of applause followed the end of the forum as a number of students lined up to shake hands with the speakers. McCorkle said she felt the forum was well attended given the fact that it was slated during the same time as the sex toy workshop in Clarke Fieldhouse. "I'm very proud of it (the event and attendance)," said McCorkle, who is also the President of Phi Alpha Theta. McCorkle said she was thankful for those military personnel who joined her in the forum, noting that she was "glad that we can continue to put on these events and students and faculty are interested."

The NCAA has strict guidelines for qualifying for Division L "An average of 15,000 fans (that) show up to every game," is one of the guidelines for NCAA Division I said Kent Barrett, Associate Director for Public and Media Relations NCAA. The lowest level of the NCAA is Division III which offers no scholarships. The long term benefits ofjoining NCAA would include scholarships and money earned if Cal State San Marcos does well in sports competitions. Stephen Nichols, athletic director, claims on the athletic department's web site that sports team will "bring greater recognition to, and awareness of, our university. This will, in turn, make your degree more valuable." There are two dominant student views towards the proposed measure. One view holds that, the school should focus on the academic future of Cal State San Marcos and leave sports to San Diego State. The other view is the school could use sports teams to improve student life on campus. Next week students will vote on the proposed fee that will set aside money specifically for the Athletic Department. This decision will decide the fate of intercollegiate sports at Cal State San Marcos. According to a letter to The Pride, Nichols will not petition for money from the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) next semester regardless if the proposed fee is passed or not. This means intercollegiate sports will end its funding from Cal State San Marcos if students vote against the fee increase, and the 80 students that participate in the non-spectator sports may have to deal with the reality of the end of intercollegiate sports at Cal State San Marcos. The Athletic Department ¡mum now receives funding from the IRA that ranges from $12,000 to $31,450 per semester. The IRA is funded by students every semester with a $5 fee and divided up to different organizations on campus. Cal State San Marcos does not allow any organization on campus to take more than one third of the entire amount. At other CSU schools, like San Diego State, the Athletic Department gets almost the entire sum of money. With their $28 IRA fee versus the Cal State San Marcos $5 fee, San Diego State has more money to divide up with fewer organizations requesting it. The CSUSM Athletic Department also receives money from the CSU General Fund in the amount of $200,000 a semester. This money will continue to be paid on top of the $296,000 expected if the fee proposal passes. Sobriety Checks in the CSUSMandaMrea team up Campus police .A.D.D.

This week from March 15 - 17 campus police officers, administrators, and student volunteers will partake in thefirstpart of a two part DUI prevention program by distributing literature to those entering and exiting parking lots throughout campus. On the evening of St. Patrick's Day, March 17, four officers will patrol the campus specifically for drivers under the influence, as the second part of the DUI prevention program. fgUMJfltt 10% Student (Discount!

The prevention pamphlets to be passed out include M.A.D.D. safe party guides, a small fact book titled "What's your DUI IQ," a red ribbon to tie around a car antenna, and contact information for questions concerning underage drinking and DUIs. "It's important that we as a community address drunk driving because of how it can negatively affect people," said CSUSM Police Lt. Doug Miller. As a member of the Student Alcohol Advisory Committee - the committee responsible for this program - Lt. Miller said he is using his past experience working at San Diego State University, along with other ideas from officers in the department, to help educate our campus about the risks associated with alcohol.

Jamah Dacus, director of For Your Pleasure, Inc, presented a wide range of erotic lotions, potions and battery operated toys to over 160 students. Dacus said the keys to sexual satisfaction are sexual acceptance, effective communication and practicing safer sex. Dacus stressed, "Safer sex is not just about using condoms, but taking responsibility for our bodies and our partners'— this means getting tested for STD's and HIV/AIDS every year." A climax of giggles erupted when Dacus challenged the audience to "reclaim our asses from our buttphobic culture." Adding, "Anal sex - it's no longer a nasty or gay male activity." Dacus introduced the audience to the "prostrate massage" (the prostrate being located two inches inside the male anal cavity - toward the belly button, also doubles as a g-spot). Apparently, when massaged during foreplay can produce the equivalent of a woman's multiple orgasm. Dacus stressed thefiverules for anal sex (whether performed on a man or woman) are, "Lube, Lube, Lube, Lube and more Lubrication!" Adding later that waterbased lubrication should always be used in conjunction with condoms.

If you're interested in saving some serious gravy, the best advice would be to pick up a Sunday paper and discover what's nestled at the center. Major supermarket chains such as Vons and Albertson's double the value of almost all manufacture coupons. Combine those with Catalina coupons - coupons you receive after purchasing certain items - and you'll pay little to nothing for otherwise pricey items such as toilet paper or laundry detergent. The combination of coupons and weekly grocery ads are the dynamic duo for saving, however, it takes time and organization. Match coupons with weekly store advertised items; especially those that are buy one get one free. Occasionally really hot buys will be out of stock and when this happens it's time to capitalize. Request a rain check with the item's purchase limit - if any - and continue looking for coupons that match that item in the weeks to come. Be aware of brands with many similar items such as Tide. If Tide is promoting a new detergent with a coupon, be sure to buy the exact detergent on the coupon. Unless the coupon reads 'selected varieties', don't assume the coupon will cover the Tide you typically buy.

B etween our own Jason Nichols (a/k/ a the O-man) and Athletics Director Steve Nichols (no relation that I know of) I had to take an entire page-full of barbs tearing me a new one... and without so much as a kiss! At least our readers know that Jason isn't actually in love with me. I was under the impression that The Pride being denied ballot access was news-worthy; my esteemed colleague and reader advocate disagrees. I can deal. The trouble is that Jason made it sound as if the whole purpose of the article was self-service, while I was doing my damnedest to keep my journalist's hat firmly in place and write from as neutral a position as possible. Feedback from others on campus has, thankfully, been more generous. As to having color, I thought it was unsubtly ironic, except that it came about because our outstanding business manager, Brian Reichert, sold a color ad. Nice coincidence, though. As to Steve's "rebuttal," all I can say is 'what were you thinking, dude?' You got your fee request on the ballot. Would it have killed you to simply write in support of The Pride and leave it at that? How nice that, as a faculty member (or are you staff?), you were able to do an end-run around the student fee process and start a dialog with all those bigwigs in the Chancellor's office.

Several new or increased fees have already passed during my six semesters here, and we all know that the "non-mandatory" parking permit fee and instructional fees have sky-rocketed. That said, I won't be voting in favor of athletics. On the other hand, I've pretty much read every issue of The Pride for the last six semesters, so I definitely would have voted in favor of a fee to help the paper reach self-sufficiency—that fee would have been an investment in developing a product, so to speak, which would have paid off later with good ad revenues, while developing student writing skills and attracting more talented students to our staff. Lucky for Steve and Karen, it seems the only students that vote on the referenda are those who have an interest in seeing them pass; I predict an easy victory for the athletics fee. As for The Pride, maybe we'll get some entrepreneurial business majors to darken our doorstep and help us become the selfsufficient entity we ought to be. God knows athletics won't ever pay its own way. •ft? fi%i M al Tanningior : %r I only level 1 bed Mysbctor al CUM ackages (gstudents andCtUMI {good forand staff) (good for CUM { (gsiood bPand lstall) ood for al saSl T students CSUSM S tf SsSf} tudentsr^rStSM fioodt S students ami ta ofer 4/15/Ö5 4/15/05 ofer (expires 4/15/05 !

Come on, guys! Isn't that like asking a senator whether he thinks his bill should pass or not? It almost pains me to have to do this, but I have to point out the little things as well. What do I classify as a "little thing?" Simple: something that, while not as important as the points above, should still be adhered to in the publishing of a newspaper. Firstly, for the love of God, know your MLA. Book titles are underlined, not "put in quotes." Any high school junior should know this, so seeing it in a college periodical is just unprofessional. Secondly, what business do hyphens have in quotes? Opening up to page eleven of this week's issue and seeing "'I thought it was inspiring' - student Kate Summers" staring up at me in boldface type makes me very sad. I came to this school full of high hopes, not expecting to look back on my days on my high school's newspaper with fond memories. Having two or three days to put a paper together is no excuse - that's life, baby. If the final product is going to be half-assed and full of mindless babble (who cares about Seinfeld anymore?), then make this a bi-weekly paper. If it means the articles will be of better quality, I'm all for it. If that's too much to ask, then you don't deserve the extra $2.50.1 don't dig the idea of paying just to see pictures of the ACD hall in color - 1 can see that free of charge every day. If the staff feels the need to add something to the paper, full color pictures should be the last thing on their minds. Please strive to make The Pride worthy of its name. The Mediocre or The Substandard just don't have the same ring.

The editors would like to take this opportunity to explain our processes and how we come up with our stories. We will also like to extend an invitation. Our paper's primary focus is the CSUSM community, the studentsfirstfollowed by faculty, staff and then the surrounding community. We could go out and seek storiesfromall around including neighboring cities, the county, the state, the country and the world; however, the problem when we reach out too far for those stories is trying to tie those stories back in with our campus. That is why we primarily will not go out and cover stories where the links to our campus are not obvious: there are news sources that cover those stories quite effectively. It is not a limitation of the abilities of the staff; rather, it is effective utilization of the little space we have to provide coverage of our university. That brings us to the invitation. Many believe they can do better than the current staff of The Pride. Prove it. Come work for The Pride, be an editor, a staff writer, a contributor, and be part of the solution. If anything, at least send in your story ideas to pride@csusm.edu if you know of an event coming up that is newsworthy. After all, it is easy to call out the problems in something. It is difficult to do something about it. 1 A # lot o f readers h a v e �It's time to think THE PRIDE OPINION life actually life?

BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM Pride Staff Writer Why did you go to college? What are you going to do afterwards? Those are questions most people don't ask themselves too often in the middle of a busy college semester, and depending upon the major the answers probably vary. Being a history major, the question always seems to arise of what I am going to do after college. The problem is that history is one of those subjects that people love to disregard as much ado about nothing. It happened to me just the other day, I was talking to a non-collegiate peer, and they asked what I was majoring in at college. When I said "history" the inevitable "oh, what are you going to do with a degree in that" came back at me. As the conversation continued they asked me if I was going to continue on after my BA, which I said I was, and they queried in what subject. "History" again, with its partner spilling from the mouth of the other as "oh, are you going to be a teacher." This is about the third time this year alone that I've had a conversation along these lines with someone outside of the college atmosphere, and it never fails that the person I'm having the conversation with makes assumptions about my future career or chosen major. And eventually I'll simply be reminded of how hard it is to get a job in my chosen field. It's the assumption that history is one of those road to nowhere subjects (at home with the arts, literature, and similar subjects) that's bothersome. The fact is I already know that it's difficult to get a job, even after a college education, and especially with roughly 70 percent of employers in the United States currently either decreasing or at least not increasing their hiring activities for the beginning of2005. But I'd like to think that maybe it's just as difficult to find a good job with any major, not just mine - although that's one of the assumptions I get all the time. The fact is that my history major could be used to get a job in historical research, as a curator, writing, a government job, a job in film, or even business and the list can go on with teaching just being one of many options. Of course, just because there is a range of jobs I could do in my major doesn't mean I'm any better off in the arena of finding one. People assume that a job will be more readily available to someone with a business major, for example, and maybe that's true to some degree, but job opportunities, and a greater ability to reap the financial benefits later on, are not all I went to college for. I went to college in large part because I wanted to become a more well rounded person, I wanted to learn, and I wanted to associate with similar individuals of like mind. This is the factor people tend to forget when I tell them about my major or how that might lead to a job later on. Maybe it's just me, but college would be important even if I never succeeded in making a cent from it. HEX COUGARS! Watch for t he GECKO this semester.

Last Saturday my boyfriend and I had the misfortune of dining at Johnny Carino's, the new Italian restaurant on San Marcos Boulevard. Upon exiting the car, we smelled the enticing aromas of garlic, basil, and scrumptious Italian cooking.

After a quick ten minutes we were seated at a quaint little booth and promptly delivered drinks and a loaf of bread in a white paper bag. The guilt of the no-carbcraze steered me clear of the bread but my boyfriend reported that it was tasty, and he dipped it into an olive-oil and garlic sauce concocted by the waitress at the table.

The salad was drenched in a salty, overpowering dressing (supposed to be on the side), and the flavors sharply contrasted with the sweet pecans atop thefish.The salmon was dry,fishy-tasting,and downright unappealing, but my meal didn't even compare to my boyfriend's. His steak tasted like it had been swimming in a vat of butter for at least two weeks. The vegetables and potatoes looked old and tired. In general, his meal was comparable to something that would be served to your Aunt Millie in her convalescent home. Overall, we give Johnny Carino's a less than excellent report, unless of course cafeteria and airplane food are your thing, in which case you'll love this misguided chain, posing as a quality Italian eatery...

Before you let the name "Shakespeare" keep you from reading further, be assured that the difficulty of his language need not keep you or the unwashed masses from enjoying this show. (And if you're already a Shakespeare fan, please feel free to jump ahead to the next paragraph.) It may surprise you to learn that you already know 99 percent of the words used in the play (though there are always a few that require footnotes.) The thing with Shakespeare is how his words are put together: musically if you're a learned fan, archaically if you're not. That in mind, go to the show with the idea that it's in a "foreign" language, and look to the actors, the staging, the props, the music, and, every so often, the actual words, to follow the story. On to the review: The Poor Players—arguably San Diego's best Shakespearean acting company—have done it again with their lively and relevant production of "Antony & Cleopatra"-a play about sex, love and war that opens with a stage full of writhing bodies and ends with a stage full of dead ones. Director Nick Kennedy has used Jim Morrison as his inspiration for Antony (Richard BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Robots, they aren't just for nerds anymore. With the release df the new 20 Century Fox movie "Robots" there is finally proof that an animated movie can actually make an adult laugh. This techno-filled extravaganza moves you to the point of pure adulation as you root for the underdog in this extremely colorful CGI world. Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) is dreaming pretty big for a smalltown robot, and once he makes his way into the big city to find Big Weld (Mel Brooks), all hell breaks loose. When in town he runs th ÄNTONY& CLEOPAT Image courtesy of Poor Players Baird), alluding to similarities between Shakespeare's bacchanalian Antony and the Lizard King through costume and music choices. Baird embodies Antony's pomposity and lust, which are tempered by the fact that he is pussywhipped by the charismatic, and equally, if not exceedingly, lusty Cleopatra (Amy Meyer). These larger-than-life characters also make "Antony & Cleopatra" Shakespeare's funniest tragedy, providing plenty of opportunities to laugh before the bloodshed. Cleopatra is the central figure in the tragic love triangle with Antony and Caesar (Nick Kennedy). Meyer was brilliant as the somewhat labile Queen of Egypt, with extra kudos to the costume department for their embellishment of her highness. Kennedy's usually evenhanded delivery played perfectly in his role as the great Octavius Caesar-the embodiment of Roman discipline, and a character so opposed to Antony and his Egyptian licentiousness that their faces could serve as models for a pair of comedy/drama masks. While every player in this company is worth seeing, two particularly excellent performances were given by Mac Macke as Enobarbus and Edwin Eigner as Lepidus. "Antony & Cleopatra" runs through April 10 at the Academy of Performing Arts on Alvarado Canyon Road in San Diego.

Throughout the movie Fender's comments, and actions, will leave you with a little smirk on your face - the kind of smirk robot humor brings to the table. While there are a number of other in-your-face-funny robots in the movie, it's Fender (Robin Williams mind you) whose improv makes the movie come alive, while Rodney's quest keeps you in the story. The little parts within the movie - like clever wordplay, and the contrast of subtle and startling on screen action - account for a lot of the Images courtesy of 20th Century Fox movie's laughs. The movie sprints from the opening scene and never stops; characters are always in motion and interacting in a way that is entertaining for everyone. Don't be fooled by the PG rating: "Robots" has some great suggestive humor that might fly over the heads The Rock "Be Cool" the others be lukewarm BY ALFRED CHU Pride Staff Writer Sequels are usually not as good as the original. This isn't engraved in stone but just a guideline. Don't expect too much is basically it. "Be Cool" is the sequel to 1995's "Get Shorty," where Chili Palmer (John Travolta), a movie loving shylock becomes a movie producer. Now, in "Be Cool," Palmer is upset with the movie industry and turns to the music industry. But not expecting much isn't the same as a movie built on other movies. "Be Cool" has one obvious reference to other movies after another. It was as if the writer, Peter Steinfeld, made a list of references to other movies and then built the plot around it. Are the references really more important than the plot? Here's an example: we all remember the dance contest sequence with Travolta and Thurman in "Pulp Fiction," where Travolta danced for his job and Thurman danced simply to win. So it's logical to incorporate a dance sequence in "Be Cool" and they do. But after that, the sequence goes nowhere and does nothing. On with the plot: Tommy Athens (James Woods), a friend of Chili's, gets murdered by the Russian mob. Chili finishes his Athens' job of producing a young and innocent singer named Linda Moon (Christina Milian). But Moon already has a manager Raji (Vince Vaughn) with his bodyguard Elliot Wilhelm (The Rock), who works for Nick Carr (Harvey Keitel), owner of a record label. Turns out Athens has a debt with another music label owner, Sin LaSalle (Cedric the Entertainer). With Athens' wife Edie (Uma Thurman), Chili has to promote and produce Moon's debut album while watching his back. There are numerous cameos by Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Seth Green, etc. The Rock has the only performance worth the screen time. We're used to seeing him as a tough guy onscreen and as a wrestler. But here, he's a tough guy of little ones, but is easily picked up by anyone thirteen and older. Next time school leaves you feeling worked overtoday, maybe?~head over to the multi-plex, grab some popcorn, and let "Robots" make it all better... for 90 minutes anyway. Image courtesy of MGM/UA Entertainment trying to be tough but in the end, he's sensitive and doesn't realize he's gay. I was disenchanted with yet another reference not to another movie but to his character in the wrestling world. The reference was "The People's Eyebrow" where he lifts up his eyebrow into an arch. Sadly, "Be Cool" isn't a film. It's more of a parody, an illusion, a commercial. Everyone involved should take their gold chains, their black suits, their hummers, their guns, their one liners and reflect the movie they made. It might have seemed funny and poetic on paper but onscreen it's totally different. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

SIMON Pride Staff Writers Donna Frye San Diego City Council member, former mayoral candidate and political activist Donna Frye has a message for CSUSM students: "Get involved. I would say... not just involving poli- tics, but just involving life in general." Frye came to campus on March 16 to help celebrate Women's History month at the Clark Field House. Dressed in a suit and tennis shoes, Frye set the tone between herself and the audience of students and community members. She began by sharing a personal story about the spousal abuse she endured for a number of years, which she said made her a stronger woman in the long run. Then Frye talked about how her 1988 marriage to professional surfer Skip Frye started her political involvement writing legislation about water quality issues. Frye spoke about being elected to the city council in June 2001 with no intention of furthering her political career. "Becoming an elected official never appealed to me," said Frye.

Both students have passed the first of three rounds in the selection process. Zwick said that these are the only students from the campus to ever apply to the program that he is aware. Claudino told the students that attended the informational meeting that the Fulbright program is an important opportunity for them. "It really opens doors, and the networks are amazing," said Claudino. He said his mission for coming to the campus was to increase diversity in the Fulbright program and encourage students to apply who are minorities.

William Fulbright of A rkansas to enhance the relationships between the U.S. and other countries a fter W WII. Now, in a time when the need for global communication is pertinent, the Fulbright U.S. Student Program is way for students to experience other cultures. The program o ffers locations of study including A frica, Asia and the Western hemisphere. The Fulbright study abroad program is also unique in that it is a binational program. Grants are f unded by the U.S. government and the host country covering travel and study for up to 12 months.

The ASI Alternative Spring Break program held a r affle during the event in hopes erf raising money for s ecuring toiletries to help aid the homeless on t he streets of San Francisco during spring break. Sara Long, coordinator for Student Activities at ASI r affled o ff p rizes that included hats, t-shirts and g ift certificates. Student reaction to the St. Patrick's Day event was positive as the c olorful dancers seemed to brighten u p the day for all who attended. "It was appropriate for the day. Good times. It was a great presentation and a good show," said student Brandon Brown. ASI, f rom page 1 "ASI is supposed to b e the student voice," said Marc D eGuzman, who is also r unning for president. He said however that while Leonard was out interviewing students on campus h e has, " been in (his) office this last week doing the b udget...it's the d ifference between handling the business and having f un. ASI can b e a lot of f un, but if we don't handle the business, with representing students at state and campus wide levels, then we are not doing our job." D eGuzman is current V P of Finance. The candidates proposed ways of getting students more involved on campus by t aking interest in both political and social events. Some thought communication between ASI and students was in need o f a makeover. " There is a lack of communication between ASÍ and the students at Cal State San Marcos," said Heidi Doyle, candidate for the College .of A rts and Sciences Representative. All of the candidates addressed student concerns regarding the cost of getting an education. "We need tuition to b e down. We need financial aid to b e up. We need students' rights to b e a priority for our legislators," said Cheyenne Barr, V P of external a ffairs candidate. "Lobby C orp has been working to make sure that budget cuts don't a ffect the tuition here at school, particularly with financial aid," said Jeremy Mills, VP of external a ffairs candidate. CSUSM Athletic Director Steve Nichols also spoke at the event to answer student questions and concerns about the proposed Athletics f ee referendum. " What we are seeking is forty dollars per student, per semester. If we get that, we will be able to build t eams in men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's Softball, and men's baseball," said Nichols. "I'm not saying I'm gonna make college cheaper for you . ..I'm saying that this is gonna add value t o the campus." When asked if the candidates addressed the issues that were important to h im student Omar Yanez, a j unior criminology major said: "Not exactly, but I think that if anything, Sarah (Leonard) might have had a closer approach to the issues that concerned me." " I would like to see more academic representation of the diversity on campus, said Yariez. "On election day, (students) should definitely vote, take two to three minutes of their time—just vote."

On Wednesday, March 17, all 21 members and some Sigma Alpha Epsilon alumni set up a table outside the library and sold pizza for two dollars a slice, to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Walk. The MS walk will take place Saturday April 9 and Sunday April 10 at Legoland in Carlsbad. "Last year we donated about $850," said Sigma Alpha Epsilon President Jason Mossuto. "We expect to donate over $1000 this year." "One of the girls in one of the sororities has MS and last year we donated in her name. This year we will be donating in her name again," said Mossuto. Mossuto remarked it didn't take any convincing to get these frat boys onto campus for this cause. "They know that it's for a really good cause and it's really important to our fraternity that we give back to the community and do our philanthropy," said Mossuto, "We stand for 'true gentlemen.'" Mossuto encourages other students to get involved in the fight against MS. "You can donate if you go to the MS website, through team Sigma Alpha Epsilon if you like, and you'll know where your money is going," said Mossuto. More information about the MS Walk can be found at: http:// w ww.kintera.org/faf/home/ default.asp?ievent=72124 for intoxicated drivers. In total, University Police recorded two DUI arrests for the night. No CSUSM students were arrested at the checkpoint. The first arrest came around 9 p.m. when University Police sergeant Marlon Estepa, patrolling near campus, observed a white late model Toyota Tacoma swerving on Twin Oaks Valley Road. Estepa said that while questioning the driver he detected the scent of alcohol and learned that both the driver and passenger were under age. Estepa said he discovered two open beer containers during his visual sweep of the vehicle. University Police sergeants Dan Koehler and Jessie Flores arrived to back up Estepa. Koehler issued the 20-year-old passenger of the vehicle a citation for minor in possession of alcohol. If convicted, he may face a fine and his driver license could be revoked for one year. The driver waited on the curb just in front of his vehicle with his hands in his pockets rocking back and forth. As Flores observed, Estepa furthered the investigation by asking the driver to stand so he could conduct a sobriety test. After completing the test, the driver agreed to blow FRYE, from page 1 business behind closed doors to avoid controversy is cowardly and wrong. Talking about how she boycotted closed council sessions Frye said, "I do not shy away from controversy." Discussing her efforts to change the way government business is conducted, she said that she didn't expect so much support from voters during her 2004 mayoral campaign. "I was almost in tears I was so amazed," said Frye about the overwhelming amount of people who signed a petition qualifying her to run as a write-in candidate. Frye said Mayor Dick Murphy and Ron Roberts, the opposing candidates during the campaign, didn't even contest her participation in the mayoral debates. "They looked like bookends (during the debate) as I stood in the middle. There were Mr. Status and Mr. Quo," said Frye describing the visual of the may- into a breathalyzer. The breathalyzer indicated the driver had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.14 percent which is almost twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The driver was handcuffed, placed in the back of a squad car where he later urinated on himself, and his truck was towed and impounded. "We make these stops off of the campus because it can still effect our still our students," said Koehler. "If we overlook it, it grows into a much bigger problem." Koehler says it's important that people under age know the serious risks and consequences associated with drinking and drunk driving. The minor arrested for DUI, for example, will likely receive fines up to $5,000 and not be eligible to drive until the age of 22. There is also a possibility of jail time. The second DUI arrest was made at approximately 10:30 p.m. by University Police officer Courtney Bronson at the sobriety checkpoint. Bronson said she noticed that a male in his 20s driving a red Pontiac Grand Prix smelled of alcohol during his checkpoint inspection. Bronson alerted other officers and they surrounded the vehicle with a special device known as the "Sniffer" flashlight, which can pick up the scent of alcohol. After oral debate. Frye said she lost the election due to the voters forgetting to fill in the corresponding bubble after writing her name on the ballot (Mayor Dick Murphy won). She ended her talk with the current actions being taken in response to the outcome. Lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Frye to count the votes thrown out, but in speaking she was adamant in letting the public know that she isn't personally involved. "Donna Frye hasfiledzero lawsuits (to turn the vote around)," said Frye. Frye opened up the floor by answering a question about her the flashlight indicated the presence of alcohol, Bronson ordered the driver out of the vehicle and a volunteer officer took the driver's place and parked the car. Bronson said that not only was the smell of alcohol present, but the driver's eyes were extremely red, however, the driver's answers to all of Bronson's questions were clear. Bronson opted to proceed with her investigation by conducting a sobriety test. She concluded the test by using a breathalyzer which indicated the driver had a BAC of 0.18 percent, over twice the legal limit. The driver was handcuffed and his car was placed on the back of a truck to later be impounded. "This guy (DUI driver) was just an average good guy like me and now he will suffer like a criminal for a bad choice," said Koehler remarking on how a DUI and the penalties that result can be prevented by drivers being responsible. All law enforcement agencies involved in the night's checkpoint are part of the North County Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Council. The DUI prevention efforts were a result of funding from the state distributed to each agency specifically for enforcing and preventing drunk driving. feelings regarding speaking on college campuses. "I feel at home," said Frye Cal State San Marcos student Karlene Wiegand was excited about Frye's arrival on campus. "She is a woman who doesn't conform to others," said Wiegand adding that she relates to Frye because of her work with water quality issues. "Being a surfer myself, that was very important to me." Palomar College student Rachel Gilstrop shared similar thoughts. "Frye is a strong female figure, and she gives me a sense of feeling more empowered as a woman," said Gilstrop WftflfîTii : ni i&lMuiuJ; nBBnS: « m * ~ * IS § ilflll 1 i !§§!

WEDNESDAY MARCH 23, 5:30PM COMMONS 206 What if I'm ence is going to have to pay attention because there are a lot of underlying meanings," Davis said about his film. Davis, who is an A rts and Technology major, was at one point a p ro-surfer before he began p ursuing his film career. Davis met Matt Forsyth and Neal Lett in CSUSM's a rt department and the trio forged Brokenline Productions. They wanted t o create an independent film company that supports local artists and promotes industry change. Davis said filmmaking "should be about the a rt and the project." Each member of the company brought something unique and vital to the table. They m ade their own studio in which they paid for themselves. Davis w rote and directed the 35-minute short film. Forsyth created their logos, website and designed the sets for the film. Lett directed the cinematography and worked his magic with the camera. From start to finish, the project took about a year to come to f ruition. Davis wrote the screenplay in three months. The entire film was shot in f our days, and the final editing took five months to complete. All t hree are current students with 18 or more units who put in over 300 hours to put this film together.

Depending on the performance of each of the male surfers at tryouts, they were put on either the A team or the B team. CSUSM's surf team has been around for several seasons now. The team is supported by some of the surfer's family members and also many private sponsors. Tryouts for the 2005-2006 season will be held sometime in September. The team is always looking for new recruits, as each year a few key surfers are lost after graduation. "This whole thing is pretty much for f un and I encourage anyone with the least bit of competitive drive to come out, tryout and support us," Cannon. For more information regarding the team, tryouts, and the upcoming Nationals competition contact Jeremy Cannon at canno010@csusm.edu. It's March, and CSUSM's surf team is getting ready to make some waves this year at Nationals. A fter taking fourth place at Nationals last June, the men's A-team is hoping to go back and maintain their top five status. According to surf team captain Jeremy Cannon, this season didn't go as smoothly as they would have hoped with many competitions being delayed and even a few being cancelled altogether. Jeremy explained that they had a lot of talent on their teams this year, but lacked the competition experience. For the 2004-2005 season, CSUSM had a large enough turnout at tryouts to put together three teams. The teams were broken down into two men's surfing teams and one special team.

A fter spending the semester worrying about papers and exams, spring break is the t ime to take a breather and go out with your f riends. Of course, you always say y ou'll spend some time studying and getting a head start on last-minute school projects, but let's f ace it, during spring break, most people j ust want to have f un. So grab your f riends, I.D. and designated driver, and get ready to p arty—you deserve it! Whether you plan to spend t he day lounging in the sand ™ or the night dancing on the tables at a club, the most important thing to remember when going out with f riends is to pick a designated driver beforehand. Play rock-paper-scissors, flip a coin, draw straws, or p ull a name f rom a h at It doesn't m atter how you pick one, j ust pick one. Ify ou are the designated driver, it doesn't mean you can't have a good time. Take the responsibility seriously. You don't have t o b e d runk to have a good time. You can always amuse yourself by watching your d runken f riends make fools out of themselves, while you, the Saintly Sober One, take pictures with your digital camera. The best p art is that you and back, you can get into a celebratory mood before you've even left the house! But don't overdo it. There's nothing sexy about throwing u p in the bathroom of your favorite bar while your best f riend holds your hair back and your designated driver takes pictures. The best p art about going out to bars or nightclubs, par™ ticularly if you're female, is getting, f ree drinks. Sorry, boys, but girls always get f ree drinks, especially if they know the bartender. So, next time you're at your favorite pub, chat u p the guy behind the counter. If he knows you, h e'll b e more likely to comp your d rinks. Making f riends with the bouncers and the bartenders always g uarantees V IP service, even if you • • are not p art of Paris Hilton's posse. If you are particularly low on f unds this spring break, t ry having one person in your group wear a crown or veil on their head. People will t hink it's that person's birthday or they are the bachelorette and t hey'll b e eager to buy them a d rink. Use this tip wisely though and take t urns "There's nothing sexy about throwing up in the bathroom of your favorite bar while your best friend holds your hair back and your designated driver takes pictures." get to distribute them amongst family, f riends and co-workers the next day.

With spring break quickly approaching, many students vow to stay at home and study while their friends booze it up in Cancun and Day tona Beach. While hitting the books may seem like a dreadful way to spend your vacation, returning to school prepared and ahead of the game sure does have its perks. So, this spring break, consider drowning yourself in your studies instead of drowning yourself in a Mai Tai on the beautiful, enticing beaches of paradise. Replace that muscular, suntanned cabana boy with that exhaustingly wordy Dickens' novel that has been smashed, unopened, at the bottom of your backpack all semester. Don't hit the beach—hit the books! When your friends come back from vacation, sure they'll have a suntan, some wild stories, and a few more notches in their belts, but they'll also have a ton of work to catch up on. With only five more weeks of school remaining, they will be stressed, sleep deprived, and worn out. Won't it be nice to smile, take a deep breath, and feel in control of your academic destiny? Resist the temptation to party right now and remember that "good things come to those who wait." Summer is just around the corner, and the day you ace that last final, you'll be "livin' la vida loca." It is important to reward yourself for a j ob well done, so don't forget to give yourself treats along the way. For every hour you spend typing that 10 page paper on the mating rituals of West A frican bees, reward yourself with 15 minutes of laying out in the sunshine. If you have fast metabolism, eat one piece of your favorite candy every time you read five pages of that book you've been ignoring all semester. If you don't have the metabolism of an 11year-old boy, don't try this one at home. Remember that you are not alone. There are plenty of other students just like you who plan to use their spring break as a time to both catch up and get ahead. Find out if any of these self-loathing individuals would like to form study groups with you. Invite them over for a movie night so that you guys can watch the six hour movie version of "Bleak House." Your teacher didn't really expect you to read that novel anyway. If you feel the need to get out of your house, take your lap top over to your nearest coffee shop and study there. Suck down one of those overpriced, frothy, creamy concoctions and enjoy the buzz. For those of you that don't live at home, make a trip to your parents' house and study there. They'll be glad to know that their money isn't being wasted on your education and reward you with yummy home cooked meals and a pat on the back for all of your hard work. In the wise words of Aristotle, "It is possible to fail in many ways...while to succeed is possible only in one way." You may feel like you are giving up well-earned party time by studying over the break, but when you look back on the semester, you will be proud of the results of your hard work and dedication. That said—what are you waiting for? Get to work! �8 Tuesday, March 22, 2Ö05 OPINION THE PRIDE Hey! Quit violating MySpace Pride staffer relates a tale of horror and deceit with the popular Internet friend network BY HEATHER ZEMAN Pride Staff Writer I am taking this opportunity to share my experience to warn all of you that although you hear many success stories due to meeting people online, there are also many stories of situations going dreadfully wrong. Take my word for it when I say this cliché line: "it can happen to you." As I browsed over the faces of many others like myself that had been sucked into this myspace craze I came across one face that seemed to catch my eye. I clicked on the picture and this lead me to his page where I was able to read small blurbs about his life, interests, and whatever else he felt inclined to tell others via the Internet. Wow! A cute surfer boy from San Diego that shared many common interests! I went ahead and sent him a message, not knowing in the slightest what I had just gotten myself into. I have never been the type to even consider meeting anyone from online, but the more I kept up conversation with this mysterious surfer boy, Jake* ('"indicates names have been changed), slowly my thoughts began to change. Our emails through our myspace accounts lead to talking over the wonderful world of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). As much as I hated to admit it at first, there was a definite "spark" so to speak between Jake and myself. The more we talked, the more we realized that we truly did enjoy each others company. Our late night chats went on for days and eventually weeks, which only increased my interest in meeting this guy that now knew so much about me. Some of my friends were concerned by the fact that I had not even spoken to Jake over the phone, this didn't seem all that odd to me. I mean, the whole idea of meeting people online was new to me anyway! When Jake told me that he wasn't a phone person, I j ust went along with it and we planned a weekend where we would meet up in person. Shortly a fter our plan to meet was set, strange things started to occur. It began with phone calls to my work f rom a girl that kept asking my co-workers when I was working next, but she would never leave a message or a name. I found this odd seeing as though I had never given out my work number. Then only a few days later I began receiving calls to my apartment phone. I was getting messages on my answering machine from a girl that would call and repeat my name over and over. I was me that Sara and Jake had dated for years slightly concerned about this, and knew (as I already knew) but the kicker was that that these calls were not coming f rom they had never met! The two of them had anyone I knew. I told Jake about the calls "online dated" for years, and had never and he immediately traced them to his actually met in person. Jake had been ex-girlfriend, Sara*. He said it sounded messing with Sara for years, leading her exactly like something she would do, to believe they were in love and that when and that she had done it in the past. He the right time came along they would meet claimed she was jealous, and just trying to up, but Sara had gotten to the point where get under my skin. Well, it was working. she wasn't even sure if Jake really existed. I couldfi't believe that Sara had actuI was Sara's only hope in finding an ally tracked me answer to her down and got a " " " many years of hold of my work confusion.

I talked Sara. to Jake and all Sarah immehe could tell me diately called me was that Sara was a fter I hung up crazy, and that he couldn't control her. with her best friend. She then began to Now, only a few days before Jake and I enlighten me on a whole other twist to this had planned to meet, another call came to already crazy story. She said that due to my apartment. This time the girl on the the fact that I hadn't met Jake or talked to other end was actually trying to get infor- him on the phoney she was now convinced mation from me. By this time the phone that Jake was not a real person and on top calls had become borderline harassment of that she was convinced that the person and I had no intentions of giving this girl posing as Jake was in reality a girl named any of my time. As it turned out, all she Nikki*. was trying to find out was if Jake and I had I sat and listened in complete shock actually met. I found this odd. as Sara went on to explain the previous Realizing that I was not about to dis- situation that had taken place years ago close anything to her she decided to give b etween herself and Nikki. me a little background. She was Sara's Sara had met a best friend and had been for guy online and years. She told found out a few months later that it turned out to be this girl Nikki posing as him. Nikki admitted this to Sara, and told her she felt horrible for letting the situation go on as long | as it did. For some reason, Sara felt bad for Nikki and ended up befriending her. Not long a fter the two of them "/ learned the hard way that you certainly must be more cautious than you think with people you come in contact with over the Internet You never really know just who lies behind the screen..." became friends, Sara went online and came across another guy that caught her interest. This time it was Jake. Due to the fact that Sara was now friends with Nikki, the idea that this new guy might be j ust another figment of Nikki's imagination never even crossed Sara's mind. Sara confided in Nikki about her and Jake's online relationship. She explained to me that as time went on, she became more and more skeptical of Nikki, and even confronted her a few times about the possibility of her being Jake. Nikki always denied this and Jake always had a way of drawing Sara back to him. Therefore, the relationship continued .up until about four months ago when Jake once again failed to meet up with Sara. Sara then had an overwhelming gut feeling that Jake truly was Nikki, and that she had done this to her again. She stopped all conversations with Nikki and Jake for her own sanity and decided she should see a therapist. Only recently, when Sara happened to fall back in touch with Jake through myspace did she begin to have second thoughts about ridding him from her life. When she saw that Jake had now been talking with a new girl through myspace, this feeing myself, the idea that maybe Jake was a real person was almost too much for her to handle. Sara had assumed from conversations with Jake that he and I had met up. It was then her goal to get a hold of me and find out if it was true. Being the self proclaimed "professional detective" that she was, she tracked down my phone number and told me she knew my address as well. She said that was what years of trying to find out if Jake existed had done to her. She knew all the tricks. A bit frightened by the whole situation, I gave her as much information about Jake and me as possible. I informed her of how we had not even talked on the phone and had planned on meeting up, but hadn't yet. She thanked me for helping her get to the bottom of things, and told me that she knew for a fact at this point that indeed this was Nikki posing as Jake once again. Apparently Nikki got her kicks out of living a life through these boys of her imagination and preying on girls like us. Sick and twisted, I know. I immediately went to Jake and told him that I would no longer be in contact with him. I tried to cut the ties as calmly as possible, but things did not go as planned, Jake became incredibly upset that I trusted his "crazy ex-girlfriend" over him. I told him that if he wanted to clear things up then all he needed to do was call me and prove to me I was wrong. He refused to call, therefore, f urther proving everything was true in my mind. I then blocked him online and a fter doing so, my phone began to blow up with text message a fter text message f rom his AIM name. The text messages became increasingly obscene, and wouldn't stop. I realized I was going to have to change my cell number in order to get rid of Jake once and for all and this is exactly what I did. A fter changing my cell number I also went ahead and changed my apartment number and made it unlisted as a f urther precaution. The more I thought about the situation, and the fact that I had been in contact with a girl the entire time, the more I almost felt like I had been brainwashed, and somewhat violated. Thinking back over some of the conversations we had, it made me sick....I need not say more. Ironically, when I went on myspace the following day Jake's page was mysteriously gone. I guess I learned the hard way that you certainly must be more cautious than you think with people you come in contact with over the Internet.

CORRECTIONS AND CLARIFICATION CORRECTIONS Vol. XIII No.8 In the article "CSUSM farfromNCAA," by Patrick B. Long and edited by Elizabeth Baldwin, the IRA funds for the Athletic Department was incorrect. The annual IRA funds for Athletics are $12,000 - $31,000. Also, the article suggests that the NAIA is a community college league, which it is not. In the article, "The Pride responds to recent criticism," by Phoenix Lindgren, states, "President Haynes brought Steve Nichols to campus for the sole purpose of creating more sports teams at CSUSM." This is incorrect; Steve Nichols has been at CSUSM since 1995. CLARIFICATION The opinions expressed by Phoenix Lindgren in the above mentioned article were proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole; her opinions were not meant to be interpreted literally.

MARCH Joan Allen plays Terry Wolfmeyer, a neurotic, alcoholic, single mother to four beautiful and independent daughters. Terry is single because her husband disappears mysteriously one day> so of course she assumes he left her and their family for his secretary. She doesn't bother trying to look for him or contact him, or if she does, the movie never shows us. Everyone behaves as if this is perfectly normal and they adjust pretty well to their new life without dad. Even when he fails to show up at important family events, like the eldest daughter's graduation and wedding, the girls seem fine. Terry quickly hooks up with her equally alcoholic neighbor, Denny (Kevin Costner, in yet another baseball-themed role), a washed-up, former baseball player turned radio DJ, and together they help each other heal from the tough breaks life has given them. Thç movie is semi-narrated by Popeye (Evan Rachel Wood), the youngest daughter, through a film that she is making on her computer. The audience is never told why she's making the film or, for that matter, why she's nicknamed Popeye. These are just a few of many unanswered questions in the movie. The problem with "The Upside of Anger" is that it doesn't know what kind of a movie it wants to be and it tries too hard to be both comedy and drama. The acting is decent, particularly Joan Allen's icy portrayal of the stunned matriarch, but the only thing that resonates after you've left thé theater are all the questions that are left unanswered. y JOHNNY V E VODKA LOVES FLAVORED VODKA LAUNCH PARTY Posted Bar 8pm-11pm for Johnny Loves Flavored Vodka Products Go Global!

SIMON Pride Staff Writer When asked to evaluate four of the top "men's magazines" I thought for a moment-maybe half--that they might be related to sports or getting rich. Instant relief, then, when they all turned out to be about masturbation. Truly, what better companions for the guy who can't afford the monetary or emotional cost of the nearest beach-flesh-fest? We begin at the ' top' with "Maxim" and, as usual, a cover model most have already seen on TV enough to construct a fantasy f rom. This type of skin-mag is perfect for people who don't want to be caught with ' porn' yet can't bring themselves to say "the articles." The ads range f rom cars to the stuffyou grimace at in those weird European things lounging in the 'barbershop.' As for genuine variety, though, this isn't for anyone who still refuses to believe that good sex requires an attention span. The girls are all photographed with the same lights arid the articles are mostly lists. Conclusion: Pick up, flip through, flick off, next. The next step in our descent brings us to what "Maxim" could never be, even with real nudity. Of course, I use the term ' real' the way I use women: not at all, hardly. Playboy has received a lot of criticism lately for favoring excesses of photo and cosmetic manipulation. Personally,* if she's going to look like a j cartoon she may as J well be a cartoon, but at least Playboy still helps artists replace rather than chase their models. Even without the i imagination for j icons, there's enough variation to pick a favorite, thus a more lasting distraction. As a bonus, the respectable article quality might even give you some kind of fetish for communication. Now "Penthouse" is supposed to be a dirtier type of "Playboy," so this may be a good time for our modernminded female readers to switch f rom 'laugh at the boys' to 'spit on the boys' mode. But alas, you'll all be sigh and dry when you realize it's nearly identical, save for a certain barely subtle emphasis on, well, vagina. Ironically enough, I'd swear that Penthouse actually has fewer nude photos, if more nude advertisements, and j ust as many breaks for self-promotion. I enjoyed "The People vs. Larry Flynt," I have only faint memories of skimming "Hustler," but it's all coming back now. This, my fellow Americans, is smutty stuff, essentially porno still shots. Whatever your opinion of that, you'll find hilariously depraved cartoons and strikingly unreserved political critiques. To feminists who hate smut: rejoice, for "Hustler" hates Bush too. That joke would be highbrow in these pages, but f ar fewer ads and more genuine creativity seems like a more 'sophisticated' buy to me. BY ELIZABETH BALDWIN Pride Staff Writer Want to lower your self-esteem in 5.6 seconds? Just pick up one of these glossy magazines at your local supermarket check-out counter. First up is Cosmopolitan, (referred to as The Bible by Reese Witherspoon in "Legally Blond") which actually should be illegal reading material. The April 2005 issue tackles such serious subjects as "Sex Treats for Him" and "What His Start-the-Day Ritual Reveals about Him." Wow. I never knew that my value as a woman in a relationship rests upon the knowledge that men like to have their balls messaged during, not after, fellatio. Next on the list to improve your worth to society is Glamour. The feature article about how to tell if you're "Girl Hot" or "Guy Hot," which juxtaposes Nicole Kidman (girl hot) to Angelina Jolie (guy hot) as the two different types of women in the world. Unfortunately I am neither. Hmmm, could I be an alien? However, Glamour is good pick for the woman that wants to save some cash. Practically every other page is an advertiseH ment with a coupon H to cut out. Glamour jm also features top name H designer fashions W (the clothes nobody m can afford) along with where to purchase the knock-off. The fashion magazine, f Elle, is a bit better than the previously mentioned self-esteem blockers. There are no lame advice columns that make you feel like a moron. If beauitffcVRA tifid models are what you v aBnR want to look at, this is the rag for you. Elle is an endless series of advertisements with beautiful people. Whoa, what's that? 'Small breasts are in this season." Never mind, Elle sucks too. Hallelujah! God bless Bitch. Bitch—the magazine defines itself as the feminist response to pop culture—is a shining light at the end of the magazine rack. The magazine focuses on women's issues that are interesting and educational. No models, no fashion statements, no make-up tips—just articles about women, for women. The winter 2005 issue answers the neverasked-but-always-wondered question to the popular reality show, "Survivor;" what do the women do when they have their period? Answer: tampons are provided. The article, "The Lack of Cultural Language about Women in Prison," reveals the misrepresentation of women by the mass media. Unlike the advertisements in Elle, Cosmopolitan and Glamour, Bitch magazine features advertisements about stuff I do care about: alternative menstrual products. Sea Sponge tampons? Good for the environment and good for me. I highly recommend Bitch as your reading choice. Unfortunately, it is only published quarterly, but well worth the wait. r � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Larkin said that the other parts of the bill are personally disturbing, are a threat to his livelihood as a college professor, and would open up professors to frivolous lawsuits. He said that the bill was designed to make the public falsely believe, "that there is a rampant problem of ideological indoctrination on American campuses and to suggest that the problem isn't addressed by existing legislation." Citing what he said was dangerously ambiguous wording in the bill Larkin read a portion of SB 5, "Teachers should not take unfair advantage of a student's immaturity by indoctrinating him or her with the teacher's own opinions before a student has had an opportunity fairly to examine other opinion upon the matter in question." Larkin said he felt there were problems with this reference to student immaturity in the bill saying that, "by definition (college students) are smart and well educated" See FORUM, page 2 Professors team up for Oaxacan medicine and culture exhibit BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer California State University San Marcos professors Bonnie Bade and Deborah Small have combined their expertise in order to create an exhibition focusing on the medicinal concepts and practices of indigenous Oaxacan communities living in both California and Mexico. The "Medicina Mixteca" collaboration will open on Sunday, April 10 at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido. From 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. guests will be able to explore the exhibit, as well as enjoy traditional music, dance and food from local Oaxacans. The band, "Xiuxla," and dance groups, "Rubios" and "Danza de la Pluma" will perform. Hands-on activities will be provided by the Escondido Children's Museum, and traditional Oaxacan food will be served. A video will premiere; featuring the voice and guitar of CSUSM's Eduardo Garcia, and President Haynes is scheduled to speak at the festivities. "Oaxacalifornians" is the term used to describe the hundreds of thousands of native people who have left their homes in Mexico and migrated to California in order to make a living. With the help of the Coalition of Indigenous Oaxacan Communities and other groups, Bade and Small were able to photograph and document the connections between the communities in California and Oaxaca. "This has been a unique collaboration between a visual artist and an anthropologist that has brought together art and anthropology students, as well as the indig- years on the ethnographic research.

"No where in this bill do you see that there is a requirement to give equal time to any fringe, whacko, off-the-wall fairy that comes in," said Morrow Morrow said that implementation of the bill would happen at the university level and that the decisions would be made by the faculty of the particular university.

Barr said that if SB 5 goes in to effect the class it would be, "tearing apart the classroom." Executive Director of the College Republicans Nick Bonomi said that there weren't multiple sides to every subject, and that the bill wouldn't require the type of pluralism critics claim.

"ASI could investigate to help the student, ASI actually doing something for the students for once," said Bonomi.

Frankel / The Pride BY JOELLE M. FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer While my fellow students lie asleep in their beds, before the sun has risen, I meet up with eight big, meaty guys and yell at the top of my lungs, "Stroke!" "Harder!" "Drive it in!" and "That's right, long and strong!" Don't be fooled by my naughty language—it's my job—I'm a coxswain. For the past two years I have been mastering the art of being a coxswain (cox for short). I steer the boat, correct rowing technique, provide motivation and encouragement, and let my boat know where we are with reference to other boats and the finish line during races. Since we don't have a rowing program at Cal State San Marcos, I cox for the San Diego Rowing Club at Mission Bay. The program is very competitive; six of the rowers in my boat were Olympic Athletes, and we travel all over the world racing against other programs. Most people associate rowing with having very strong arms but the majority of a rower's strength comes from their legs. The seats slide on a track with wheels, and rowers use their powerful legs and core strength to move the boat. Rowing is truly an orgasmic sport.. .pun intended. Nothing compares to being neck and neck on the race course, amidst the elements, staring down the coxswain in the next lane over, and motivating your rowers to fly past the competition and win the gold medal. After all, only first place counts in rowing—there's only one medal to be earned per race—and boy does it feel good to get it! Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3 was the San Diego Crew Classic at Mission Bay. Crew Classic is a huge regatta (race) with competitors from all over the west coast. The race course is 2000 meters and the seven lane course is marked by buoys of different colors. Strong winds, usually coming in from port side, make this race both challenging and exciting for coxswains, rowers, and spectators alike. The course can be particularly hairy at the starting line, where coxswains need to back their racing shells into stake boats with very strong cross winds making for a difficult start. This past weekend, I coxed three different racing shells down the course. All of our races were very competitive but my most exciting race took place on Sunday at 9:20 a.m. This grand finale provided some stiff competition. We were up against stacked boats of Olympic athletes. We were fighting for second place all the way to the 1500 meter mark, when Marin made a big moved for the finish and we fell slightly behind. In the end, we took third place, but we were happy with our performance and I steered a good course. I would have gotten really wet if we'd won first place! Come on now; get your minds out of the gutter. That's because, as tradition dictates, coxswains of first place boats get thrown into the water by their crew. Seeing coxswains get thrown into the water and watching races is only a small part of the enjoyment that a regatta provides. Going to regattas can also be a great way to meet men. When else can you watch burly athletes walk around in spandex? And girls, isn't it nice to be familiar with your prize before you get it home? Any students interested in checking out rowing or coxing ¡should visit the San Diego Rowing Club Website at www. sdrc-row.org. This sport has changed my life and made me a more dedicated person, student and athlete. After all, everybody loves a good cox! The end of the semester is so near you can taste it. But you are still here, wading amongst the numerous deadlines which keep you awake at night. If you're looking for a way to relieve some stress, and maybe get your mind to stop and focus for a minute, I have one thing to say to you: go climb a rock. Five minutes away from this campus, at 992 Rancheros Dr., is a place called Solid Rock Gym. It is an indoor rock climbing gym, one of three in San Diego. It is the place to go if you want to quiet your mind and reengage your body. When you are balanced on two footholds and holding on with all your strength to two handholds, trying not to fall off the side of a wall, it is hard to think about that paper that is due next week that you haven't started writing yet. And when you begin to feel the burn in muscles you didn't even know you had you almost forget that you have to go to class in two hours. And most importantly, when you finally master the incline on the traverse you've been climbing for weeks you realize that there is nothing you can't do and that research paper no longer seems so daunting. There are two types of rock climbing: ascent climbing (which includes top-roping and lead climbing) and bouldering. Ascent climbing is climbing vertically and requires a harness, anchors and a belayer (a partner to take up slack on the rope as you climb upward). Bouldering is climbing close to the ground; either on short vertical routes or longer horizontal traverses. The appeal of bouldering is that all you need is climbing shoes and a chalk bag. There are no harnesses, ropes or anchors involved. Every Wednesday, with a valid college id, you can climb for $10 if you have your own Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay.

Thefirsttime you go the staff offers a free introductory lesson. Don't be embarrassed to ask lots of questions. The employees are very knowledgeable and very nice. I recommend that the first time you go you rent only shoes and a chalk bag and get the free lesson on bouldering. Start with the bouldering, it is the essence of climbing—just you and the rock. It is the best way to improve your balance, strength and flexibility. Plan on buying your own shoes soon after you start because you are going to want to start climbing a lot and you'll want shoes that fit well. Good shoes can cost anywhere from $50-$150 dollars and they are well worth the money. The gym is a great place to learn and a great place to train in the off season. But soon you will want to go outside and climb real rocks. Lucky for you it's climbing season and Joshua Tree is only two hours away. There are also plenty of great climbing spots in and around San Diego County. Ask the employees at Solid Rock about where to climb or go pick up a book at REI, Adventure 16 or Nomad Ventures. But whether you become an avid climber or a once in a while adventurer I promise it will help to relieve some stress and give you a new perspective of just what you are capable of. To get to Solid Ro^k exit the 78 freeway at Barham Dr/ Woodland Pkwy, once you are on Woodland Pkwy go east on Rancheros.

W+i&iki Strong kifa strong famitmt strong commwifos Over 400 women raped and murdered, 1,000 missing, and the numbers continue to rise in the northern Mexican province of Chihuahua. The atrocities were vividly outlined in a packed room at the Clarke Fieldhouse, on the evening of Tuesday, March 22. Entitled "The Disappeared," the event, part of Women's History Month at CSUSM, was a chilling realization to those who had yet to hear about the events in Mexico and a forum for those actively working to change the situation. Following a brief introduction by CSUSM sophomore Nancy Martinez-Molano, the audience heard the first-hand account of Patricia Cervantes, whose daughter, Neyra Cervantes, has become a victim. After leaving for work one day, 20-year-old Neyra Cervantes never returned home and after investigation by local police in Chihuahua City, she was found raped and murdered. The cousin of Neyra Cervantes, David Argueta, was quickly arrested and tortured into confessing to the crime. Patricia Cervantes is now traveling California in hopes of gaining support and putting political pressure on the Mexican government to release her nephew for a crime she says he didn't commit. Translated into English as she spoke, Patricia Cervantes noted that by speaking out the Mexican government "is beginning to do its job." Many families in Mexico share similar stories. Mexican authorities have been slow to admit to the situation. Activists and families who speak out oftenfindtheir lives in danger. Much of the blame for the murders has been laid at the feet of the police in northern Mexico who if not involved in the murders themselves have been at least uncooperative infindingthe real killers. Drug runners have also been fingered out, and reportedly celebrate successful border runs by kidnapping raping, and then brutally beating and executing young women, leaving their bodies in the desert. Serial killers from the United States have also been linked to the crimes, apparently noting the ease with which they can murder in Mexico. The situation has grown steadily worse since 1993, when prompted by new trade agreements under NAFTA, thousands of migrant workers began immigrating north towards the Mexican border, creating an environ- ment of poor migrant women that have become easy targets for assailants. Much of the controversy has been centered on Ciudad Juarez in Chihuahua, where many of the murders have occurred. Situated directly across from the Texas town of El Paseo, only the muddy waters of the Rio Grande separate the murders from U.S. soil. The over two-hour long event was closed by Sandra Bello, a young photographer from Tijuana who added a strong visual to the presentation. Bello, who is attempting to bring attention to the situation, has launched a campaign using t-shirts. Sporting a black cross and fist, the shirt design was inspired by a similar cross-painted on a northern Mexican lamppost in protest and remembrance. We're turning "t-shirts intoflags,"said Bello as she showed pictures of a diverse group of people wearing the shirts. Like Patricia Cervantes, Bello has been traveling both in the U.S. and Mexico on a mission to bring awareness and change. The feeling in the room went beyond sadness to one of action and urgency.- It was "just overpowering," said CSUSM student Margaret O'Connell, "the ¡story Patricia [Cervantes] told made me want to get involved" Mailbox R ental I mo : si ans i iwstesfàl « «ügil M«ard The UPS Store I Let us sign for and hold your mail and packages In a secure setting so you can deckle when to pick them up.

This is my penance» An apology to Athletics Director Steve Nichols. (Nice guy, in great shape,) An apology to you, the Readers. : ;; , V ^ . : • ' ^ •' I'm sorry. I failed to do my job I compromised my principles, my integrity, and my loyalty to you. You've seen the recent hubbub concerning the Athletics fee. Athletics Director Steve Nichols (Dr. Nichols) joined me in challenging the article Phoenix wrote about the "Pride denied ballot access." Phoenix felt the need td defend her article, and wrote an editorial in response. Patrick B. Long wrote "CSUSM farfromNCAA" Both appeared in the Corrections and Clarification of the last paper. (Just before you went off to party hearty M arty^i-. ' The editorial made comments about Athletics Director Nich- ols that have been defended by this paper as ^proffered as rhetorical argumentation utilizing the trope of hyperbole." The 'news5 article "CSUSM far from NCAA" had some corrections on its 'facts/ And that was the extent of wrongdoing admitted by this paper. What a crock of S@#%! This paper was turned into a means of settling scores. The Athletics fee made it on the ballot, but the Pride fee didn't. So, our Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan wanted to be heard and tasked Phoenix with writing a 'news' article where the two Editors-inchief were interviewed, and by answering the questions posed, were able to take issue with the '"Pride denied ballot access" and the article ended by taking stabs at the Athletics fee. Things didn't end there. After Athletics Director Nichols sent in his Letter to the Editor taking issue with the article, and I joined him in the attack, we got a one-two punch of Phoenix's editorial in response and Patrick's "news' article in the next publication of the Pride, - T hetnto. I was asked to write the article Patrick wrote. The weekend before that issue of the Pride was published, I contacted the Pride office to inform them my Ombudsman column was on its way, I spoke with Elizabeth Baldwin and in that discussion I suggested a means to rebut the comments made by Athletics Director Nichols. I suggested that we make an apology for the errors pointed out by Dr. Nichols* Letter to the Editor, but we should list the numbers. I was convinced that if the Readers knew the numbers involved, we wouldn't approve the fee. Fd like to say that Ijust wanted the Readers to be informed, but that'd be a lie. I didn't approve of the fee, I still don't. But, I should never have gotten involved beyond my little gray box. I was asked by Elizabeth to write the article. I declined, due to a conflict with my role as Reader's Rep, Ombudsman, whatever. I did, however, write up an example of what I was suggesting and emailed it to the Pride office. That's what I'm sorry for. I made it personal. I was willing Women's history not to be forgotten BY JARED PETERSON Pride Staff Writer I forget sometimes about how many burdens my wife and modern women in general take upon themselves. Society places Now that Women's History month has more and more pressure on women to take come to a close any thoughts we have had on an increasing number of responsibiliabout the role that women have played in ties. I don't want to go into all the reasons history slip from our minds. Some read- why this is, I just want to recognize that ing this might be thinking, "I didn't even they are rising to the challenges and doing know that March was Women's History great things in the world. Arthurian legend tells how the Knights Month." Well, it was and I would like to write one more article about women. Not of the Round Table were inspired to be couabout women of the past, but about those rageous in battle because of their love for a woman. All of us today have a woman in that we live amongst today. I've been thinking about how much our life that has inspired us to be courathey deserve our respect. I'm a married geous. Take a moment out of your day and CSUSM student and my wife recently went go thank that woman. Tell her that you're out of town for a couple of weeks to visit wishing her a happy belated Women's Hisher family. While she was away I began tory Month and thank her for the difference to realize how much I take her for granted. they have made in the history of your life. Her name is Stephanie and she's the best. iiRT o «i* Tuesday, April 5, 2005 to use the Pride as a means to settle an agenda. I was wrong. For that, I am very sorry. When Tuesday came round that week, I grabbed my copy of the Pride. On the front was Patrick's "CSUSM far from NCAA" I knew that Patrick took the job I declined, I knew that article came from my discussion with Elizabeth. I don't fault Patrick. He's always struck me as a decent guy. I don't believe he knew the whole story. As for our Editors-in-chief and Phoenix: Wednesday night I got an email from Dr, Nichols. He wrote some nice things about me, but 111 get to his point, "In her article, Phoenix made some very damaging allegations of a personal nature against me." Then, he used the word ^libelous." Dr. Nichols hoped to set up a meeting with the Editors and myself. The meeting took place between Editors-in-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Michael Dolan, and Pride Advisor Jenifer Woodring. I met with Dr. Nichols later that week. I had hoped and still do, that Michael Dolan, and especially Elizabeth Baldwin would do what I'm doing now. To admit fault To apologize. To tell the whole story to you, the Readers. That's really all Dr. Nichols wanted I especially hoped Elizabeth would come forward. She's been the Editor-in-chief in charge for all three of the articles attacking the Athletics fee and Dr. Nichols. But, that word 'libelous" has been the means to justify doing the bare minimum for fear of legal action, in the guise of Corrections Clarification. A clarification that was anything but clear. Pride is not the name I'd give this paper at this point And now, I'll do what others are unwilling. I submit myself to your judgment. If you, the Readers tell me to "step down," I will. Derek Heid will be thefirstat bat next week as the potential Oman for next semester. He'll tell you thé results.

This was a forum that was heated, civil, and at times out of hand, but continued to show how polarized our country and campus is. Even though I am a liberal, even though I'm a feminist, and even though I 'm a hardeòre believer in progressive issues, I am comfortable saying that you conservatives have a point when it comes to "academic bias." There is a load of professors at this and many universities that are left of the spectrum. They have their own views as it relates to their disciplines. My fellow professors in my major have very strong points of views on women's rights and to some it may appear to be "bias." What we argue is that some disciplines can not be taught any other way. SB5 wants to create an environment for learning that is "fair and balanced." I don't have a problem with that, as long as "fairness and balanced" is not like Fox news. In fact, the more views a class has, the better the debate it creates. This forces students to think critically and become greater learners. I personally am horrible articulating a view I do not hold; thus, when there is an alternative voice, it creates a constructive level of dissent to help students really think about the concepts we learn within our disciplines. We like to throw around the meaning word bias as means of defining a class that is one sided. But bias means "to influence in a particular, typically in an unfair direction." I believe that most, if not all teachers are not "bias" but they teach subject in a one sided way. The problem I have with SB5 is that it only affects liberal majors. It is a direct attack on one of the last institutions that hasn't been indoctrinated by conservatives. I am no more biased than my friend Nick Bonomi. As Cheyenne Barr so eloquently put it "we just see things though a different lenses." But for the conservatives to charge that there is no academic bias, as they define it, in the economics department or the college of business is outrageous. I believe economics is taught in a very one sided way. To make women's studies or sociology "fair and balanced" on the terms Mr. Morrow would like, is equivalent to economics teachers teaching communism along with capitalism. We must show "all views." It was stated in the debate that economics has no biases, "its just math." I personally would advocate changing the class name from Econ 201 to Capitalism 101 to reflect its real teachings. I also heard complaints from students that say if they spoke out in class they would be marked down and failed. The first thing I would say is that there already is a system for that. By the end of the debate I got the feeling that you conservatives had a bigger problem than disagreement. In the debate you all used tactics of intimidation and disrespect towards the speakers who do not agree with you all. I have seen that also used by some conservative students who "speak out in class." Who are you to say the teacher is being an "indoctrinator"? As far as I'm concerned, if you are disagreeing in a respectful manner and encouraging debate on the basis of an issue that is one thing. However, if you make derogatory comments, use tactics of intimidation, march off and slam the door, throw fits in class as a means of arguments and even make treats toward teachers... Well let me just say that's "immature" and it won't get you far in life. So, if you all want to pass legislation that goes after majors who are liberal, you must apply the same to conservative majors. Then you can go on and fairly preach your doctrine of "fair and balance." Felipe Robinson Zanartu Women's Studies Major VP Progressive Activist Network GradFest is here!

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Shakespeare is for snobs and sissies and people who read books. Alas, there's no escaping the modern conundrum-as modern now as it was a hundred and a thousand years ago-that elevated speech often makes for an alienated listener. For better or worse, by any theater, "King Lear" is not the play to change the mass's consensus that the greatest plays of the English language would be a lot better if performed English. Known across many other languages as one of the most enduring of the Bard's (what the aforementioned people will call him) works, it is also acknowledged as one of the most difficult, to perform as well as preserve. Through much of the nineteenth and some of the twentieth century the play was altered to include less bawdiness and a happier ending. Presented in its original entirety by the San Diego Repertory at Horton Plaza's Lyceum, the most offensive and depressing aspects can hardly be blamed on the author, who was (we somehow need scholars to confirm) 'quite a character.' From the onset the stage is just under par for recreated nature... on a Disneyland ride. The use of half a dozen large sliding doors—built to resemble imposing castle gates—adds a nice feudal tone, but the external praises end there. Attempting to mix ancient and modern aesthetics, the costumes range from convoluted to goofy, and the soundtrack (excepting a scene guided along by a walk-on's live flute) is slobbered out by a second rate elevator synthesizer. Casting is a tricky one to critique—as 'the best with what you've got' is your more often than not—but the first rate performers are just enough so to show the second-raters for what they are. Not that a grand TV-to-theater crossover can be hoped for, ever, but if you enjoyed Quark on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," Armin Shimerman plays the oft- coveted role of 'fool,' and proves himself a gifted actor, rather than another beset by drama class nostalgia. Sam Woodhouse is very good, for the part, and for a Shakespearean actor, particularly if you wish to have your reservations kept. He'll be as much a Lear as any Shakespeare-lover could ask for in San Diego, but a big hammy Santa Claus to factory farmed sitcom stock. Even if you can't handle drama that doesn't come from a toughish cop or a whorislf talk show host, try reading "King Lear," then go and listen more closely than you watch; let the imposingly better language become a symphony rather than a rain of puzzle pieces; let eloquence be absorbed rather than clutched at. If nothing else, watch "Titus" with Anthony Hopkins to see modernized Shakespeare done right and well enough to earn the Bard at least a second 1 chance. "King Lear" plays through April 17, with a handy and necessary student discount. More information is available at sandiegorep.com. Photo courtesy of The San Diego Rep.

SIMON Pride Staff Writer Sin City is sleazy and cheesy and worth every penny. Try as mediocre actors and bad writers may, big-budget action will never have the impact of hyper-style violence. Sure, there's the classic prevalence of incredulously bad shots and durable bodies, but the grit-gristle intimacy of glory-gore makes this a film to be held for dear life rather than imitated to death. Sure, like too many comics, its lines are jerked by melodrama—the fermented testosterone bane of every muscle flick. Yet such complaints quickly become moot as macho fifties noir inner (and often outer) monologue becomes as much an element of style as bleeding fluorescent whiteout. It's all about honoring the original art, baby, and this is a real juicy piece of honor. "Official Director" Robert Rodriguez was kicked out of the guild for working so closely with the creator, Frank Miller, (then actually giving him credit for it), but the end result is better than anything since "Kill Bill." Small wonder Quentin Tarantino didn't turn down a spot as a "Guest Director;" the more Hollywood realizes the talent of comic creators the closer he'll be to another job at a video store. Not that a great look doesn't usually enable mediocre performances, and not that Frank Miller's cameo doesn't prove most screen actors overrated, but a few did give more than could have been had by those with cheaper agents, or more love for the series. It might be too disturbing to see sweet little Gilmore girl Lorelai as a prostitute, or too disappointing that she does nothing dirtier than talk of what she's seen. A nineteen-year-old Maxim stock coming onto a sixty-ish Bruce Willis would be silly, if its story context were not already exaggerated to perfection. Basin City's scantily, no, scandalously, no, fantnastily clad working women take care of their own, hold up under mild torture, and twist something metal into both outdated and newfangled gender concepts. The bare breast shots can be counted on one hand, but are so lovingly sculpted into the encompassing imagery that the other hand can stay in your popcorn. And if you think that analysis was vulgar, if you can't even stand the thought of blood in any shade: see it anyway. The point of a violent movie is that it's a violent MOVIE, an artificial reality, a catharsis, an aesthetic exercise, not a means of "Desperate Housewives" spice up late night TV BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Image courtesy of ABC Gone are the days of June Cleaver: the housewife has been reinvented. The new housewife is beautiful, sexy, smart and desperate. ABC's hit show "Desperate Housewives" is making everyone change the way they think about housewives and forcing people to rethink the meaning of desperate. The show tells the stories of the residents of Wisteria Lane. It uses drama, mystery, and comedy to show the lives of suburban housewives. It is narrated from beyond by Mary Alice (Brenda Strong) who committed desensitization. To clarify: see this movie, City gives you two hours entirely of what if you're 18, as this one earns its R rather we're used to seeing for only one total, and than extorting its PG-13. Just the same, it gleeful shock can be hard on a tightening might be best not to eat before hand.. .Sin bladder. suicide in the premier episode. Mary Alice's death is a mystery that still hasn't been solved, but her narration provides a unique perspective into the lives of her friends and neighbors. All the characters on the show are desperate for different reasons and that's what makes them so relatable. Susan (Teri Hatcher), Lynette (Felicity Huffman), Gabrielle (Eva Longoria) and Bree (Marcia Cross) are the friends Mary Alice left behind. Each week they find themselves in extreme situations and rely on each other for help. Edie (Nicolette Sheridan) is the neighbor that the other wom£n tolerate, but isn't exactly part of their group. She likes to stir up trouble and has no problem using her sexuality to get what she wants. She is the woman all women despise. All of the women have men troubles. Lynette's husband works too much. Gabrielle's husband is on house arrest. Bree's husband is unfaithful. Edie has sex, not relationships. Susan's boyfriend Mike killed a man. When the women aren't trying to fix their men's problems and solve their own, they're trying to figure out who murdered Mrs. Huber and the mystery surrounding Mary Alice's suicide. A common theme runs throughout the show and that's happiness. All of the women are unhappy with some aspect of their lives and trying to figure out what went wrong. The characters all want happiness but so far haven't figured out how to get it. The cast of this show is beautiful. The women are sexy and the men are hot. The acting is excellent and the sets are appealing. "Desperate Housewives" has been on a mid-season break but is back now with six new episodes in a row. Desperate Housewives airs Sundays at 9:00 p.m. on channel 10. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

CSUSM beat out 46 other college campuses including Harvard, Yale and Brown in the recycling rate category oftheRecylemania competition which ended April 9. According to the Recylemania website CSUSM Bowling Pin BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Being exposed to the perspectives of a diverse range of cultures is one of the stated goals of CSUSM, and the International Fair offered students some of the things promised in our mission statement. Dancing, food, language, and poetry attracted students to the largest event of the year put on by the International Club and its sponsors the University Global Affairs Committee and Associated Students Inc. The 3rd annual International Fair was held on Thursday April 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in front of University Hall. The fair had numerous tables representing countries around the world. Everything from Brazilian martial arts to tango dancing to international cuisine occupied the nearly 300 people who attended the event. Following a fashion show featuring garments from orient, the group Abada-Capoiera preformed w on t he c om- Guy trophy petition with a recycling rate of 43.65 percent. ^Recycling rate is determined by calculating the percentage of recycled materials in relation to trash by weight. "California State_ University San Marcos consistently posted a 40+ percent recycling rate to dominate in the new Recycling Rate contest," reads the Recyclemania website. Second place in the recycling rate category is held by Tufts University which trailed the Cougars by 2.26 percent. According to Recyclemania our closest competition, "Tufts University closed the gap with Cal State San Marcos to less than three percentage points, but never wound up getting closer than that." For winning the contest CSUSM will receive the "Bowling Pin Guy" trophy and a halfpage advertisement in all of the other competing schools' newspapers announcing our achievement. The materials CSUSM recycled during the contest in addition to the other participating schools totaled to over 10.4 million pounds. According to Recyclemania this amount of recyclables is equivalent to, "Removing 3,484 passenger cars from the road for one year, 132 acres of forest preserved from deforestation and the annual emissions from the power consumption of 2,066 households" "We are excited and so proud of the campus for their effort," said Green Team Member Mui See RECYCLE, page 4 Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride See FAIR, page 2 Students line up for food at one of the many club booths.

Master of ceremonies Dr. Carlos von Son said that the Brazilians had to mask their martial arts training with art and music in order to secretly train for revolt against their oppressive government and this resulted in a crafted art combining defense training, music, and dance. Tango dancing from Argentina was taught to students by professional tango instructors. Many students had a chance to see this seductive and romantic dance in action before being invited to try it on the dance floor. Jewish dance from Israel was then presented. The dance was easy to learn and most of the crowd was able to participate. The dancing filled peoples faces with smiles and laughter. Students from the Latino Club and MEChA danced to Mexican folk music or salsa and meringue. "This event housed spectacular dances which give a chance for us to observe different cultures, their customs, and spirit," said Italian student Roxana Righetti, "this gives students here at Cal State San Marcos, a chance to see our diverse cultures around campus." There was a wide variety of international cuisine available at the event. Food included nachos and agua fresca from Mexico, to Japanese tea and traditional salads from the east.

The poems offered blessings of hope, remarked upon times of sorrow, and expressed messages about spirit. Most students thought the fair was both fun and educational. Some students cited the university mission statement that talks about diversity. Student Cinthia Tirado said that she liked the fact that this campus displayed different cultures on our campus. "When the campus talks about diversity in the mission statement this definably helps us appreciate it," said Tirado. A student at the model United Nation's (UN) booth offered her perspective of the event. "We like to contribute to the international vibe on campus and open students up to new ideas about the United Nations," said political science major Jennifer Runge at the UN booth. One student gave her opinion as to why multicultural events on campus such as the International Fair are important. "It helps us to understand different cultures from different countries. I think it's important to know more about what's out there. Especially in the U.S. where many people don't know much about other countries," said student Jana Somolova. The organizers of the event were more than pleased by the participation in this years fair. "It went really, really good! We hope to provide and encourage students around the campus to learn, share, and celebrate different cultures," said International Club President Emily Ng.

FRANKEL Pride Staff Writer With the stress of finals and fall 2005 registration quickly approaching, stress levels can reach an all time high for many students at CSUSM. In the midst of this end of the semester chaos, don't forget about the Computer Competency Requirement (CCR). The CCR is a mandatory test for all baccalaureate students at CSUSM regardless of their major that must be completed within two semesters of attending the university. According to the Instructional and Information Technology Services website, "After the end of the second semester, registering for any further classes at Cal State San Marcos will be restricted until the CCR is fulfilled." So, if you've been here two semesters and you haven't taken the test yet...get to it. What is the purpose of the CCR? Mary Atkins, CCR coordinator said, "The CCR was mandated by the faculty senate in an attempt to bring everybody who is a student here up to the same level of computer skills, so that when they walked into the classroom, the faculty would know that this set of students had these particular skills." The CCR covers five main areas: computer concepts and terminology, soft-ware ethics and virus protection and prevention, Internet browsers and email, basic word processing, and basic spreadsheet concepts. Students are required to take and pass all five sections with a grade of " C" or better in order to fulfill the requirement. Students who don't pass a certain section of the test only need to retake i§WANTED>:; SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!» $ 1 1 . 0 0 - $ 1 7 . 0 0 per hour Call ( 7 6 0 ) 7 4 4 - S W I M can take the CS100 course." ably make sure that students are The CCR was intended as a required to take a computer class temporary program that would rather than a test," said Hoilmen. be phased out because the uni"I think it's a little redundant versity assumed that student skill because when you come from that section.

This is the question that every graduate dreads as family and friends offer their congratulations. The most obvious answer, of course, is to get a job and start paying back those student loans, but there are other options. "Delaying the Real, World: A Twentysomething's Guide to Seeking Adventure," is a book written by Colleen Kinder that encourages new graduates to take a year off and go out and accomplish something other than going to work. Her mission is to get young people to realize that there is a small window of opportunity for them to follow their passions before they get tied down with a career or a family. Sometimes this generation of "Twixters" is criticized for not wanting to grow up and take on responsibility, but traveling to another country and getting a job can be a life-changing experience. In fact, there is even a fellowship offer for $2,500 from www.delayingtherealworld.com for someone who proposes a unique and worthwhile adventure. The fellowship might be a longshot, but it is worthwhile to pursue the idea of adventure. There are many organizations that are able to make arrangements for you to work in another country (see box). They arrange for the job, obtain the work permits, provide insurance, book a place to stay and provide practical advice. Many of these jobs are to teach English, and all you need is your Bachelor's degree and a TEFL Certificate, which takes about a month to earn. There are many advantages to teaching or working in a foreign country. You will get to experience a country by totally immersing yourself in the language and the culture. You will have time to really see something* other than the usual tourist traps, and will gain confidence in yourself by facing unique situations. Upon your return to the USA, you will be able to list an awesome experience on your resume and show your potential employer that you have the capability to handle any challenges that may come your way. You do not have to go through an agency to line up one of these jobs, but your parents might feel a little more comfortable about , your adventure. Many potential adventurers make all the arrangements on their own and get information from people who have posted on message boards.

The video said that 60 percent of ocean pollution stems from urban runoff, and only 6 percent of America's coastline is" monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency for water quality. Sekich said everyone in the community contributes to urban runoff so it's up to each individual to contribute to the clean up effort, whether it be through education, beach clean ups, or awareness. "For me, Earth Day is every day," Sekich said The Surfrider Foundation organizes events like their "Hold On To Your Butts," drive which brings awareness to cigarette filter pollution, and monitors water conditions with their Blue Water Task Force. They also legally protect the coast and educate students like 8-year-old Ezekiel Lopez. Are we supposed to recycle?" Lopez asked after the video. Of course, Sekich answered, and for that, she gave Lopez a hat, which he said he liked. Free stuff is one way the event recruited about 50 students. Ulbert contacted Sun Diego, BY JON RODLEY For The Pride Free pizza and hot wings lured students to a Surfrider celebration for Earth Day yesterday put on by the ASI Programming Board. "For April, Earth Day was the only important holiday I felt needed to be addressed," said Tera Ulbert, Director of Educational Programming for ASI; she organized the event. Stefanie Sekich, Chapter Coordinator for the Surfrider Foundation, showed a video called "Keepers of Coast," which illustrated pollution concerns for San Diego and the world. The video showed surfers dropping into gorgeous waves and clean water, contrasted by images of Imperial Beach in San Diego County where plastic debris and other byproducts of urban runoff cover the sand at a disgusting rate. The video stated some important facts about the ocean environment: 50 percent of the U.S. population lives within an hour to the coast; these cities are built in areas of the water cycle where fallen rain collects oil, settled air pollution, pesticides, fertilizers, and other pollutants like cigarette butts. The effect of this urban runoff ZERO CLOSING Photos courtesy of Jon Rodley donate T-shirts and hats, videos, and a surfboard. "It was really good that they were happy to be involved," Ulbert said. After the free food from Pizza Hut and the presentation by Surfrider, Mike Gener and Ryan Thompson of Stoked on Life showed a bodyboarding video they produced titled "Aquatic Ninjas." Later this week, Earth Club, a co-sponsor of yesterday's presentation, will host a free planting ceremony today at 11 a.m. at the library and a beach cleanup and bonfire Friday at Oceanside Pier.

FRANKEL & JENNIFER IANNI Pride Staff Writers Students are also given a chance to write a general comment about the professor and the course itself. For some students, consulting RateMyProfessors.com is a vital step in the process of registering for classes. Kellie Klopf, a third year business major, said that she used the website before registering for her classes. "It's been really good," she said. "Actually, I picked all of my teachers for this semester, and I'm pretty satisfied with my choices." "I think it's really good to have a peer assessment from people who've had the instructors previously," said Cindy Roper, a senior liberal studies major. "I especially think it's a good idea if students use it responsibly." Although Roper has never posted a review on a professor before, she plans to this semester. "I have a teacher that I don't feel is very qualified this year and I think that if others can benefit from that knowledge, I would like to tell them about it," she said. Students from all over the nation have been inspired, just like Roper to tell of both their joys and their grievances. "From students, the response is almost universally positive; from professors, it is more mixed," said Swapceinski. So do the professors at CSUSM actually look at their own postings? "Oh, I'm sure they do. If I was on a website like that I'd wanna see what people thought about me," said Ashley Dunn, a freshman biochemistry major. "I don't think they do, and I don't think they should. I think it's for students only," said Klopf. One professor admitted to looking at her own posting and to those of her col- Hardworking, ambitious, eager-to-learn student seeks Trigonometry teacher who is knowledgeable, grades fairly, explains coursework clearly—andby the way, being hot is a must. Ever wish it was this easy to select the perfect professor? RateMyProfessors.com may be the answer you've been looking for. With over 530,000 professors rated by former students (393 from CSUSM), students are able to get the insider scoop on their professors for free. Information is easily accessible with regards to which professors are student favorites, which are easy graders and which ones you might actually learn something from. These features make RateMyProfessors.com a handy tool when selecting future courses. John Swapceinski, the president and founder of the website, explained his inspiration for RateMyProfessors.com. "I was attending San Jose State University in Î999 and had the misfortune to take a class with a particularly dastardly professor. She was an unfair grader and downright nasty to her students, so I decided to start RateMyProfessors.com to warn the world about her and other professors like her." Seven years, and many other disgruntled students later, Swapceinski's dream, has most definitely been realized. The website rates professor performance in five categories: average easiness, helpfulness, clarity, hotness, and total quality.

Frankel / The Pride leagues. "I think it's always interesting to find out what students think about how we're doing and it's really important to us... I'm always interested in getting more specific information about what the class is like for them," said Martha StoddardHolmes, a professor in the literature and writing department. Not everyone agrees that RateMyProfessors.com is a reliable tool. "It's not the sort of thing that I place a lot of confidence in, or that I would trust, or that I would allow to influence any professional decisions or activities with my colleagues and faculty," said Michael McDuffie, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I want to make it very clear that I have a very low opinion of this website." When asked if professors should be concerned about a website such as this, McDuffie said, "To the extent that the website presents opinions and information about their professional activity, Their reputation as scholars, as teachers and as people, then, yes, I think they have reasons to be concerned about the website, just as they might be concerned about any potentially slanderous or libelous publication that would involve them. There's basically no due process attached to the website." Students don't just use this as a way to criticize their professors. Teachers might be pleased to find out that "over 65% of the ratings are positive," according to the website. The people behind RateMyProfessors. com maintain that the views expressed on the website are purely the thoughts and experiences of student contributors. They acknowledge on their website that although the ratings are not statistically valid, "They [the ratings] are a listing of opinions and should be judged as such. However we often receive emails stating that the ratings are uncannily accurate, especially for schools with over 1000 ratings." Bottom line: RateMyProfessors.com's only obligation is to the students. "Where else can you find out what others think of an instructor? When you have the option of choosing a teacher, wouldn't you really like some information? It also gives you, the user, a place to voice your opinion. It gives you a place to make a difference in your education," the website stated. In the past, there have been attempts to sue or shut down the website; however, it is protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. "I get contacted by professors every day, and I get threatened with legal action by them on pretty much a weekly basis," Swapceinski said. If teachers don't like what they read, RateMyProfessors.com advises them to change their perspective. "Think of this site as an opportunity to hear what your students normally keep secret from you." One of the more lighthearted aspects of the website is the hotness of the professor, which is indicated by a chili pepper next to the professor's name. While not taken as a serious consideration when choosing a professor, most students find it to be an amusing aspect of the site. "I think that's kind of over-the-top.. .it's fun," said Roper. Professor Stoddard-Holmes saw the humor in the hotness ranking and stated, "I'm always intrigued by the chili peppers. It's f un to see who got them. To try and figure out what they're there for. In some cases, it seems pretty obvious, but in other situations it seems like it's not necessarily about youth and beauty, but it's about power and charisma." While controversial to some, RateMyProfessors.com is popular with students. This website provides an open forum for students to voice their opinions to other students and to the faculty. With registration for Fall 2005 quickly approaching, RateMyProfessors.com might be the tool that you've been searching for. Have a hot semester!

CA 92078 �By Bryan Mason For The Pride First off; I need to give some props to the paper for its front page, the breaking news from last week: CSUSM RANKED AMONG THE BEST IN RECYCLING. Hot Damn. I mean, best in recycling; I'm still trying to catch my breath from this hard-hitting bulletin. Maybe, it's just me, but is recycling that big of a deal that we need to proclaim it to the world? I know when I picked up the paper and read the headlines I almost fainted. And I also loved the fact that things CSUSM students would actually care about, like the article of getting a job a ffii graduation, gets a second seat to the breaking recycling news. I mean come on, is recy- cling bigger than what we are all here for, to better our education and eventually get a job? We are out here busting our Asses trying to get good grades, get a good education, and get a degree, If recycling is-so damn important that we need to back page actual news that some students could learn from and use to better their job acquiring chances, then our priorities are seriously down the drain. Between the recycling and the repetitive news about eating disorders, I neariy put the paper down and just walked away. However I trudged on and kept reading, and then I came to the second page of the variety page, and found Concert Etiquette. I would expect to see Opera Etiquette or Church Etiquette, but aren't concerts the things you go to where everyone is f just wfld and doesn't s eemto give a rat's ass about what they are doing for a brief couple of hours? Somebody needs to get back to me on that one. Especially if wearing deodorant and not getting killed in the mosh pit {which can easily be avoided if you stand back) are on your priority list, I suggest just not going to concerts, it will save you a lot of "pouting time*' and money. The paper is just filled with advertisements, even though Brian is doing an awesome job selling the ads, it seems that the paper quality still needs to grow, because it doesn't matter how many ads we sell or how many coupons the reader can cut out to get free tans, the articles still need to improve. Including my On the note of my own two articles on Motorcycling and Cultural Absorption (which the title was misprinted, way to go guys) I'll let you guys make your own judgments. And for the Zach's article, which had a bitter, bitter tone, I think that it's great that he is voicing his opinion on "jocks" and "dykes," but I think I could have found a few choice words to leave out. And for the Arts and Entertainment section, I'll give props to both Chris and Matt for getting the word out that "Meet the Barkers" and the new 50 Cent album both equal up to shit. I mean come on, everyone knows that 50 Cent has just totally gotten too hyped up in himself and we all saw this coming after his first album could stay in your CD play for no more than ten minutes. If TV and radio got any worse I would imagine there would be many more cults and mass suicide groups for me to join. I'm still counting down the days until someone finally goes berserk because they've seen one too many celebrity reality shows and goes on a shooting rampage. There were good things about the paper, like the layout and Jason really deserves credit for it. The back page was awesome, as a matter of fact the whole arts and entertainment part had ridiculously good layout And a quick congrats to Derek Heid, who did the Ombudsman last week, for stepping up to the plate, balls out and writing a good critique. Despite all the bitching about sports and the constant battles, the paper is improving and I don't want to sound like a broken record, constantly bitching about the paper. So with that note, I'm going to go sit back, relax, and bid you farewell. Want to tell me to go to hell? Send it to mason025@csusm. edu. OR VOL.

What is bugging youP BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer Most of the time I am a fairly contented person cruising through life and running my errands as expeditiously as possible. Sometimes though, I get to thinking a little too much about the way stores set up their "friendly" policies. Now I love to get my fix of Starbucks at one of the stores conveniently located at approximately half-mile increments from my job to school, but one thing drives me nuts. Why do they even bother to ask your name and misspell it on a cup when they insist on shouting out "non-fat-grande-latte-sugarfree-vanilla-extra-hot-extrafoam" when you are the only one standing at the pickup counter? Wouldn't it be really simple to just say your name? Blockbuster is even worse. After they have checked out your DVD's and you have paid, they yell out your selections loud enough for everyone else to hear. Maybe I'm crazy, but I just chose those titles a few moments before and I'm pretty sure I haven't forgotten what I just picked out. Is it some sort of insidious plot to point out what a loser you are on a Friday night by yourself in a video store? I guess I must be a grump, because I think overfriendly service in a store is annoying. For example, when I walk into Millers Outpost, they yell across the storefront, "Hi, how are you doing today". Well, I might be doing just fine, but I sure don't feel like yelling back to them. And, what if I am not doing okay, am I supposed to yell that back to them? I would much rather be able to find someone easily when I need help, but somehow they seem to mysteriously disappear. On a different note, I don't know if you have noticed, but someone has kidnapped all of the people who do radio and TV voiceovers and replaced them with one man and one woman. You know the voices. You hear them on the Carl's Jr. commercial and on car commercials. They speak in a monotonous nasal voice, trying to sound as disinterested and banal as possible. The first time you hear their voices it is different and it catches your attention, but now advertisers use their voices in about every other commercial. In fact the guy voice even took over an entire radio station. Star 100.7 used to have a variety of DJ's, but now this one guy drones on about being "Jack" and how they don't care if we don't like what they play. Well, I am glad "I don't know Jack," because he really bugs me. What is bugging you? ¡kp%€ Mo^e C^ilSM Gerrit S o Y oa.

With so much going on in everyone's lives, that passing glimpse of love gets smaller ^ and smaller, and as we interpret the looks of fellow people around campus, and the world, it seems that judgment is determined by their persona, or "style." Looking a certain way is hot, or in. But j if we only get a glimpse of true love, is that love incorpoPhoto illustration by rated into our thoughts? When we love is it due to the fact Jason Ëncabo / The Pride that we are told to or because we need to? Is love a necessity? In short, yes. This love we experience is passing by and if we don't grab hold, the rapids of life will send us on tragic lonely ride. Sam Beam of Iron and Wine said, "Love to say this to your face, I'll Love you only" in his CD "Our Endless Numbered Days." Describing the opportunity that we throw away everyday. That contact we make with someone and never truly express ourselves is an invitation left unopened. But why is it that with passing love and the occurrence of boyfriends and girlfriends into our lives, it fills such a deep and passionate void? Is it that once our other half is found we suddenly awaken from a primordial slumber and feel true feelings for the first time Is college the last chance to find someone that feels the same way? How many times has love struck you and you felt as if nothing could possibly go wrong? Were all these times just a dream until we find our better halves? Love leaves us in many predicaments; it can promote unrecognizable joy and turn around and hit us with unrelenting pain. There are so many questions out there unanswered and it seems that life and love coincide in a strange unending quest for happiness. Ending with our demise some search for comfort in the love from others, while others give up the fight and eventually find love in a bottle. Whatever type of love you wish to find, the way to reach true attainment takes a coerce sense of judgment that forces us to put forth the things we love and live life without them. Taking on a challenge that cannot be burdened on any one person. It seems that love is something merely attained in some other dimension and that when we are so lucky to find love here it slips from our grasp in a universal second. Our lives are a blink in the eye of the universe, and that love is deemed nonexistent. Is this primitive state of consciousness forming around us making us realize what we are doing wrong? For all I know the person that I could have found love within has already walked in and out of my life, and for a few moments of jittery eye contact we knew what was happening subconsciously. But when I try and look for new love I just see empty faces, is it because I am broken hearted? No, I am overwhelmed at the enjoyment I get everyday out of life. It just seems like everyone is everyone else. And the new faces walking around me are just a blur of make-up and shaded highlights. I long tofindsomeone that can stand out in a crowd and when I glance over and make that jittery eye contact, I feel a spark inside that ignites a flame. Thinking back on the loves past there were sparks, but nothing equivalent to even a small Bunsen burner. Does this love exist in our lives and with the billions of people on this earth, is it relative to even look or will love eventually find us? There are no definite answers and the fact that love is an abstract feeling is even more complex due to the intangible possibilities. Whatever love is it seems that it has a place in all our hearts, and the person we have always known existed for us will appear in time. Or, as many of us that have already found that Special One (grimace), it seems that others still have to look, and hope that someone out there can compel us to make something more of ourselves, to finally achieve that happiness that is long overdue. Questions, comments, or maybe even a romantic evening on the town, here is where to send them mason025@csusm.edu. Please recycle this paper is typically understood to be created-from, whereas Hate prefers to be observed-by. Nonetheless, when considering their shared primal and political origins, the intellectual mutations rise up like reflex quicker than instinct, words taking numbers like drugs and weapons, making lists that would be holy icons through symmetry. No gilding necessary, no glaze of blood, nor baptism of fire; we know already the folly in attempting to devalue that which so persists in its _ _ _ _ _ usefulness. And 7 is never deadly, only lucky at first and dead at last. 1.) Ire Diverse and adverse through the diversions and advertisements, the general course of modern life finds a lot to 'hate' in the name of distaste. This lowest form relates mostly to annoyances, things that, alone, require more effort to complain about than remedy. The loss of dignity in waiting through a pop tart's sale of a diet pop really only equates to the blood lost from a mosquito bite. It is best not to scratch the memory, but we do. Just the same; it is best to swat back when we can, and we'd better. 2.) Spite Easily confused for more serious incarnations of Hate, this second tier is too impartial, and yet again too draining to be dangerous to anyone but the spiteful. This resentment of anyone happy and condescension over anyone unhappy can, indeed, lead to more serious problems. A little art, or kindness for its own sake will usually dilute, if not expel the affliction. 3.) Offense Attack insists destruction in anything above the parasite, and offense, whether it is taken for the sake of one's religion or one's child, should only be taken for the sake of extinction rather than merely loss of territory (or lack of gain). It is the difficulty in making this distinction that keeps Offense such a dangerous Hate to wear on any occasion. Allow no shame in preserving the existence of me and mine, and take all responsibility for the destruction of another's, knowing the justification that succeeds the act is rarely any kind of justice. 4.) Vengeance If focused on the genuine source of the offense, and known as a means toward regaining peace rather than sharing misery, Vengeance is no less natural or spiritual, powerful or beautiful than any other human experience. Transforming the burden of Hate into pacifism requires an excess of restraint, a lack of courage, and a reckless affair with foresight. 5.) Prejudice The capacity to categorize and qualify is essential to the survival of any species, particularly those as curious as our own, however, overused explanations must never be used as a justifications. Prejudicial hatred serves nothing but immature oversimplification and lazy self aggrandizement. Our negative associations and identity crises are our own problems. Identifying a Hate for a type of manufactured personality can hone the critical faculties, but hating a type of person only lends your life to debasing causes. 6.) Genocide This overused term and under reconciled phenomenon can be defined as a complete surrender toward the impossible cause of directly annihilating any single aspect of a species. A common example would be a domesticated fowl's reflex to peck at blood, thus becoming bloody, thus being pecked at, and so on. Destroying all that resemble the source of one's Offense results only in the widening, thus dissolving of the very categorizing faculties once valued. Genocide is valuable to nature only in that it regulates the populations of species that, if allowed to assimilate their variations entirely, would expand to the point of eradicating all other life. Ants are small and occasionally warlike, while humans are large and will fight over anything. 7.) Psychosis The answer must rise, if long after the chickens are roosting on either side of their eggs, whether our species first developed from solitary into social or vice versa. Even if we must conquer time before we know the past, it will be worth it for the light shed onto the factors that incite or incident a psychotic, a human whose deepest existence demands the suffering and destruction of human life. Difficult as it is to approach from intellectual distance, even from aesthetic exploration, the spiritual and emotional approachesfightonly the symptoms, providing barriers rather than vaccinations: The key may lie in empathy, the diplomat between Love's sympathy and Hatred's selfishness, for the lock is surely placed between the Psychotic as a human and yourself as a Psychotic. �THE PRIDE A Tuesday, April 19, 2005 O cJQ cmhim^HB L eetee by P*o£ Jane Cfaaaee lpm, Arts 111 ASI Blood Drive—free snacks, flip H UH Photo by Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride wiches, delicious salads, traditional corned beef and cabbage, to steaks of all kinds.

That's where George Lutz is mistaken. Ryan Reynolds plays George in the latest remake of The Amityville Horror, where his family is cursed by living at 412 Ocean Avenue in Long Island. The movie is based on a true story and the house was once a mission belonging to the reverend Jeremiah Ketcham, who used to torture and kill Native Americans on his property. Ketcham supposedly slit his own throat so that his soul would never leave the property. The movie begins by showing the horror that happened in 1974, when Ronald DeFeo Jr. murdered his entire family in the house, claiming that the voices told him to do it. Flash-forward and the movie focuses on the next family, the Lutzes, who move into the house. The graphical effects are frighteningly good and may sometimes even cause you to jump in your seat. One example is when George and his wife, Kathy (Melissa George), are in the middle of sex when he all of a sudden sees a dead girl standing behind her. Unfortunately, the director resorted to a few cheap tricks, like moving magnets on the refrigerator to spell out phrases, blood seeping out of nooks and crannies, and a provocative pot- smoking babysitter. But the scene where the babysitter goes into shock is amazing, and George's dry humor brings laughter to the times when the director's overuse of emotional bullshit would have otherwise been unbearable. This remake leaves out a few details from the 1979 film starring James Brolin and Margot Kidder that would have made the plot even more interesting. For example, George is supposed to have an uncanny resemblance to Ronald DeFeo Jr., and the priest is supposed to go blind after visiting the house. My suggestion would be to see the 2005-version first, because it is definitely more suspenseful. Then see the 1979 version to learn more about the story. Real Laughs i n "A L ot Like L ove%®^ BY ADIA BESS Pride Staff Writer A lot UNLIKE most romantic comedies is more like it, and this is definitely for the better. "A Lot Like Love" proved itself to be above the boring sap that the average romantic comedy usually portrays. Fake, cheesy, and unrealistic are words that surprisingly don't describe this Images courtesy of Buena Vista Pictures love story. You will want to see Oliver (Ashton Kutcher) and Emily (Amanda Peet) wind up together in the end without the urge to throw popcorn at the screen. The first couple of minutes were slow, but the pace picked up during Oliver and Emily's first official meeting in style: the mile high club. Goofy Oliver falls for Emily immediately as she humors his boyish innocence. They meet up the next day, and spend the afternoon together exchanging quirky comments and spontaneous moments that each would remember. Oliver finds himself getting attached to a seemingly uninterested Emily and tries to save face, making a deal with Emily that he will have a job, house and car all wrapped up with a beautiful wife in six years. They depart as the story unfolds with more spontaneous outings on New Year's, and a road trip that lands them naked in a National Park. Yet, getting to know each other better as friends sparks a romance that neither is willing to admit—until it may be too late. The acting is not by any means Oscarwinning, but it doesn't seem difficult for Kutcher to play the goofy guy you can't help but love, and Peet is entertaining with her sarcastic remarks throughout. The chemistry between the two is extremely fascinating to watch. This is espiecially because many scenes looked as though they were un-scripted, which added to the cohesiveness between the two characters. Although this film contains some unnecessary ingredients most romantic comedies contain, it stands out from the rest giving a few real laughs, and good feelings rather than a gag reflex. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The filmmaker and political activist announced on Tuesday details of the 'hell-raiser' schol- arship he promised CSUSM students in his October 12, 2004 speech at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. According to a press release from Moore, the "Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship at Cal State San Marcos" will award $2500 scholarships to, "the two individual students who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration of Cal State San Marcos." "I hope this scholarship will encourage students to show courage and stand up for what they believe in," said Moore, "When students (take on the administra- tion) for the right reasons, they should be rewarded." To be eligible for one of the scholarships a student must be enrolled in a minimum of at least six units each semester during the 2004-2005 academic year or for the fall 2005 semester and have a minimum grade point average of 2.5. The application process consists of filling out an application form including three personal references at: http://www.michaelmoore.com/takeaction/sanmarcos_form.php and submitting a two page letter to Michael See MOORE, page 4 Giving the gift of life CSUSM sounds off in San Diego Campus turns out to donate blood to the San Diego Blook Bank BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Four students participate in protest at the governor s local office Photo courtesy of San Diego Blood Bank BY MICHAEL DOLAN Pride Staff Writer dressed in funeral attire and holding picket signs, silently marched around the lawn in front of the steps to the State Capitol building.

Governor Cruz Bustamante and California State Assemblymember Loni Hancock, took CSUSM students, faculty, and staff are willing to bleed to help San Diegans in need. Undergrads and others came out to give blood to the San Diego Blood Bank on April 19 and 20. The big white bloodmobile was parked in front of the Dome from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on both days. The pressure to donate blood was intimidating for some, but others thought of it as a way to give back. The blood donation process takes about 45 minutes to an hour. The majority of the time is spent answering questions to determine donor eligibility. If you have a blood communicable disease like HIV/AIDS the blood bank does not want your blood. Once you are done with all the paperwork, you are given a preliminary test to see if you have enough iron in your blood. Once you pass the test you are ready to donate. It is common to be nervous prior to giving blood. "The only fear I have is the needle," saidfirsttime donor Arianna Merrill. This is a fear that I also shared. What one discovers however is that after the first poke of the needle the fear subsides.

Students from county community colleges and universities gathered to march on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's downtown San Diego office last week.

The primary goal was to protest the eight percent undergraduate tuition increase planned for the 2005/2006 school year.

"We are mourning the (death of the) California dream for affordable higher education," said Jason Spencer, CSSA chair of legislative affairs. Spencer said that students are getting more and paying less because of the budget cuts students are having to rely more heavily on financial aid and side jobs to complete their education. "We can't balance our state budget on the backs of students," said Bustamante. "Raising tuition fees is shortsighted and lacks vision. We need an educated workforce for our economy." Applause erupted from the crowd when Bustamante thanked the students for their participation. "Thank you for coming. Thank you for bringing the faces of students, not statistics, before the Legislature. The next generation of students will benefit because of your advocacy," said Bustamante. Hancock urged students to get involved on their campuses and do everything they can to express their voice. "Student fees have risen faster than inflation. We have to turn this around. We (legislators) are fighting on the inside, but we also need you to fight on the outside." After the protest, students disbursed to lobby legislators, do some shopping, or hang out on the capitol lawn before attending the Assembly Budget Subcommittee meeting on education finance.

That was the consensus resonating throughout the Teacher Career Fair—the exemplary qualifications of CSUSM teacher candidates. "Our teacher candidates are highly qualified and sought after", said Sandy Punch, the director of the career fair. There were 41 school districts from all over the state in attendance as well as a few from Colorado, Arizona, and Nevada. CSUSM has hosted this event for 13 years for alumni and newly credentialed teacher candidates. The purpose is to give our candidates a chance to network and meet with representatives from various districts as well as hand delivering their resumes. The fair is a great opportunity for our future teachers tofindout about local school districts as well as those in other parts of the country. Ana Stover, who is the director of Human Resources for the Chula Vista Unified School District, spoke with candidates about the new schools opening up in the area and they are currently accepting applications for every position. "We are especially looking for multiple subject credentialed candidates with a BCLAD, Special Education, and Speech certificate," said Stover. Many of the representatives expressed their need for certified BCLAD (Bilingual Certificate of Advanced Study in Biliteracy: Spanish) applicants. In many districts there are always positions available for math and science teachers in the middle school level as well as Special Education teachers in every grade level. Poway, Temecula, San Marcos and Murrieta school districts had the longest lines of candidates vying for a chance to speak with the representatives and hand in their resumes. Chris Meglio, who will graduate with his single subject credential in math, was waiting in line to speak with a Murrieta representative. "I'm trying to find the best fit for my needs," said Meglio when asked what type of district he is looking to work for. Regardless of the amount of teacher candidates graduating each year in California (about 400-500 for CSUSM alone), our teacher education program has a reputation for training high-quality teachers. Cheryl Cauldren, who will be graduating this semester with her multiple subject credential, said she was, "wowed by the instructors and the least effective (instructor) was really great." Chris Meglio said he is proud to be a CSUSM grad and has already received job offers for the upcoming school year. John Mendoza from Palm Springs Unified School District has been attending the fair for the past eight years and comments on the high caliber of teacher candidates from CSUSM. "We've hired two right out of the fair," said Mendoza. When asked about what advice he would give to prospective teachers, Mendoza said, "Don't limit yourself, locals may need to look outside of San Diego County. Palm Springs is a growing district and we are always hiring qualified teachers."

The letter needs to include a biographical description, why you attend CSUSM, why you should receive the scholarship and, "What you have done to take a stand and make your school community a better place." Students meeting the requirements are encouraged to nominate themselves; in addition students and faculty can nominate students they feel deserve the scholarships. All applications for the scholarships must be completed by May 11, and the winners will be announced in early June. "At a time when the media and politicians have shown a lack of courage, we should look to America's universities and America's young people to show us how patriotic dissent is," said Moore. Students and faculty had various responses when asked who deserved the two $2500 scholarships. "I don't know of one this year.

STOR ,;:,; II �THE PRIDE SAN DIEGO, from page 1 lege (SDCC) to participate in the walkout. Cal State San Marcos student Tasha Iglesias organized the San Diego portion of the protest: another contingent of Cal State San Marcos students went north to Sacramento to participate in the walkout activities at the state capitol. Iglesias did not express disappoint with the seemingly small number of Cal State San Marcos students on the San Diego bus. "It's not about how many people you have, it's about how many people you can educate," said Iglesias. The bus dropped off the Cal State San Marcos representatives just south of SDCC near the grassy area on the corner of Park Boulevard and B Street where the marchers and protestors congregated. Approximately 500 students gathered there, holding signs and shouting at the traffic on Park Boulevard. Reporters and photographers from every major broadcast and print media source in the area were also on hand, adding to the hectic atmosphere. "Fight, fight, fight! Education is a right!" among others, were the chants used by the crowd both at SDCC and on the march. Anna Matysiak, a sophomore business major, took the bus down to SDCC for both the protest and as part of a class project. "We wanted to see how the media portrayed the event," said Matysiak.

Shay addressed the crowd and said the police were there to protect from traffic; however, the crowd did not respond favorably to the efforts of the police. Shay then ordered the police line to stand-down. The protestors were escorted west on B then south on Front Street. From there, the march continued east on Broadway much to the shock of noontime downtown patrons. Many of the chants fell on deaf ears, however, as the protestors changed their chants from focusing on education to challenging the Bush administration and the war in Iraq. A chant of "Keep the soldiers out of schools" was answered by an old man watching the march. "Then who's going to fight the war?" said the old man as he stood outside a wig shop on the corner of Ninth Avenue and Broadway. Although no CSUSM students participated in the impromptu detour, Iglesias was discouraged that the group's negative interaction with the police would reflect poorly on the walkout and the message of the day, which was protecting the diminishing budget of the public higher education system. "It divides the group," said Iglesias, "If we are supposed to be united, and then we divide, what message does that send?"

Here's some practical advice to building your 'office' wardrobe. What to purchase: Invest in a few bottoms and tops that you can mix and match. The colors you choose should be solids: black pants, brown skirt, blue pants, etc. Now with your solids on the bottom, you can get a little funkier with the tops. Go for tops that match all of your bottoms. The key word when shopping is "modesty." Black pants are essential but be sure they are appropriate. No low-riders or Capri length. If you have to get a bikini wax to wear the pants - they are too low. Also, v-neck tops are great—but not if you're cleavage is showing. I don't recommend sleeveless tops. A good compromise is a twinset. Skirt lengths are important. Sit down when you try on a skirt. When sitting, if it rides up to your panty line it's too short. A couple pairs of nylons (pantyhose) should be purchased as well. Bare legs are very common in California—but not if you land a job in a more formal environment like the East Coast. A jacketisamustas well. Try for basic black— it will go with everything. Another good purchase—but not an alternative to a jacket—is a cardigan. A cardigan is a wonderful piece that can be worn instead of a jacket in the hot summer months. Buy a good pair of closed-toed shoes. Stick to basic heels or flats. Stay away from the trendy strappy platform shoes—they won't go with your new clothes and your feet will be killing you after nine hours. Don't penny-pinch when it comes to shoes. Remember that a great pair of shoes will Last you a long time. Where to purchase: Skip the department stores and go straight to the specialty shops in the mall. You need help picking out your clothes and that means a salesperson. Smaller shops like Ann Taylor, Casual Corner and Talbot's offer the best combination of selection and customer service. This is because these shops, as well as the salespeople, specialize in the clothes you are looking for. Specialty shops are best for shoes, too. You can buy Clarks, Easy-Spirit and NineWest shoes at department stores, but you will get a much better selection at their smaller brand stores located in the mall. Only buy a few items at a time. Every company is going to have their do's and don'ts of what is appropriate to wear and what isn't. For example, a cutting-edge dotcom company might encourage casual dress. A clothes designer might encour- Images courtesy of menswearhouse.com and casualcorner.com age a modern dress. An investment bank might encourage formal suit attire. There is no need to buy a brand new wardrobe. Once you've settled into your new job you will get a sense of what everyone else around you is wearing and then purchase new pieces for your wardrobe based on the preferences of the company. How do I pay for all this? Here's how I did it: Myfirstoffice job that required formal dress was at Anthony Robbins Co. in La Jolla. I had spent a considerable amount of money on a few items that I rotated on a weekly basis. After a couple of months I was very bored with my wardrobe and had no funds to do anything about it. One of my co-workers, Betty, was always wearing the most trendy office attire and since we were at the same pay scale I decided to ask her how she could buy new clothes so often, Betty told me she works part-time at Casual Corner. She only works a few hours a week and the little extra income combined with the hefty employee discount allowed her to add two to three new outfits to her wardrobe per month. Following Betty's lead, I immediately got a job at Petite Sophisticate. I worked about 10 hours per week and received a 40 percent discount. After working only one month I had a brand new wardrobe.

For graduating students and those looking for careers in the exciting world of corporate America, there is a lot to prepare for. After the resume, the first in-person impression an applicant gives to their prospective employer is key to nailing the interview: you have to get it right the first time. The jeans and tshirts of college life will not cut it any more. Marketing yourself is not always as easy as it seems. Appearance is essential and demands attention to detail. Matching socks, ties and shirts with your suit or jacket and pants will be harder than you think. Thefirstrequirement is to have at least two suits in your collection. One grey and one blue— dark blue, not powder blue. Some places will also recommend black suits, but they make you look like an IRS agent. You can buy suits off the rack, but in order to look professional and not like a teenager working a sales job in the mall, having your suits fitted is the best way to go. Look for wool suits to maintain a classic look and stay away from hip colors. The suit is not the time to be thrifty. Department stores or specialty suit stores, like The Men's Wearhouse, are great for a proper fit and good quality. "Your first interview suit depends in large part on the type ofjob f oj which you're interviewing, but charcoal gray and navy blue are always appropriate," states the Men's Wearhouse website. The website has great guide- lines on building a wardrobe and dressing for success. The website even shows you how to tie a tie. Until you are making good money, never spend too much money on ties since the patterns go out of style every six months. Buy ties at places like Kohl's or on the sale rack at department stores. In addition to suits, pants, like khakis, and jackets are a good choice to have. You can mix and match the outfits. Shirts are an important part of the outfit for men. Until you become confident wearing suits, solid colored shirts are the best way to go. Key colors would be white, blue and grey to match the suits. Try not to clash patterns on your tie and shirt. Shirts are easy to find at places like Ross Dress for Less or Marshalls. Be sure to get measured for your shirts before you buy them. Proper shirt fit depends on your neck and arm length measurements, and the cut of the shirt, so look for professional help in the beginning until you know your proper size and cut. Shoes and socks are easy for men to find as well. Discount retailers like Ross Dress for Less and Marshalls are also great for shoes. Outfit aside, personal appearance i s important for a job i nt^g view; Men should have a clean'; haircut and neatly trirtuned or no facial hair. Jewelry should be kept to a minimum, oneringand a dress watch—no big diver-styles. Body jewelry should be taken out until you at least have the job, then you can put the tongue bar back in. fckiMitnty 10% Student (Discount!

He is determined to show people Remarkable, inspiring, driven; all are words to describe Jason Hinkle, an alumnus of Cal State San Marcos. Last month, Hinkle was awarded with a statewide Muscular DystrophyPersonal Achievement Award. This award was given to honor the contributions he has made to his community as a person with a disability. As a recipient he received a certificate and appeared on a locally broadcast segment of the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy association (MDA) Telethon. Now that he has been awarded statewide, he is in the running to receive the nationwide award, which will be announced in May.

Hinkle has accredited part of his achievement to his mentor Maribel Garcia, a women's studies professor on campus. "I see him as a disability rights advocate," said Garcia. Garcia went on talking about the powerful impact Hinkle's accomplishments have had on others, and even shows his movie as a part of her class curriculum. "He's changing lots of lives," said Garcia. Students have an opportunity to view Hinkle's movie on campus, September 30,2005 in Arts 240, to see the messages that have already touched the lives of many. When asking Hinkle what advice he would give to students he said,; "Life is like an open book, and you're the one who fills in the pages.

O I ��„ 10 Tuesday, April 26, 2005 OPINION THE PRIDE Progressive views are not on the agenda of Benedict XVI BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride The selection of the new Pope Joseph Ratzinger (a.k.a. Benedict XVI) of Germany is a huge victory for conservatives and those of the Opus Dei. For years many American Catholics have been waiting for the pope to die hoping we would find a new Pope with more liberal views. This pope however is not going to be leaning to the left or moving the church forward on liberal issues. He has been quoted as saying that homosexuality is intrinsically e vil So the chances of reform in the church doctrine over the next decade concerning sexuality are doubtful. Along with sexuality comes the issue of women in the priest hood. With the record that Benedict has, it looks like he plans to keep the Catholic Church a patriarchal institution. In talking with religious people on campus, I was told that Bible passages are often interpreted to say that males are the rulers of the church. In this country we have sectors of Catholicism and other religions that believe men are the head of the church. Most sectors of Islam would be a prime exampie of a religion that doesn't seem to practice tolerance. Others believe that progress must start from the church. Former Catholic student Nathan Pagador said, "I think Catholics in America have gotten more liberal and more accept- This letter is in response to Yvonne Brett's article "What is Bugging You?" What's bugging me? How about the article that Yvonne Brett wrote where she insults the customer service in local businesses! These employees are just doing their jobs when they Dear Editor, This letter is to help inform my fellow students at Cal State San Marcos about t he issue of fee increases. Over the last couple of weeks ASI has been promoting events to protest these fee increases without informing the campus community of other financial allocations found within Governor Schwarzenegger's Photo illustration by Elizabeth Baldwin / The Pride is one other conflict that has been raised: Benedict XVI's past. This would be the Nazi question. Was he a Nazi? Looking at his age it is entirely possible. After some research I found that membership was compulsory in the Hitler Youth. Many sources say that the Hitler Youth was possible to resist, and many did according to those sources. "(Benedict XVI) found refuge in the Catholic Church" wrote author Beth Rowen. I would not conclude that our pope is a Nazi, but at a young age he probably went along with the movement out of ignorance like many German's did in Hitler's nationalistic state. On television this week, Bill Maher made up a clever new rule, "No picking a German pope the day before Hitler's Birthday. You have just given every conspiracy theorist in the world a hard-on." Only time will tell whether this pope will create change or if it will be more of the same. As an agnostic, I really could care less who the pope is. But given the huge fundamentalist/evangelical movement in current U.S. politics and culture, and the blurring of the implied separation of church and State, the pope becomes a figure that no one in the world can ignore. ing of other faiths. So right now we are raising the issues, such as women in the priesthood." Catholic staffworker Ann Gnuse concurred with a progressive church, "I don't think the church should remain a patriarchal institution. If women want to be part of the priesthood, more power to them." Many religious people are questioning whether Benedict XVI can do a better job than Pope John Paul II "I think that John Paul II really raised the bar," said Catholic student Arcay Santos, "so he's going to be a hard act to follow." Many Christians and Catholics hope and expect him to be a good pope. The church however seems to be at a crossroads. "They need to figure out where they stand," said Ruth Bran, a volunteer collegiate minister, "they must address the issues of AIDS in Africa, zero population in china, and the overall worldwide culture." With the issue of culture there greet you or repeat your order. Who are you to criticize how people like ME do our jobs? I 'm a Blockbuster employee and I 'd like to point out to you Ms. Brett, that by announcing your movie titles, w e're making sure you get the correct movie. There ARE people out there who grab the wrong movie or get the incorrect movie behind a cover box. We don't care if you're a "loser on a Friday night" because we're WORKING on a Friday night! Businesses that double check things for you and greet you are just doing what is asked of them. There's a little thing called Secret Shoppers that us customer service specialists have to worry about. By not completing tasks like greeting you or repeating your order, we risk our reputation as a good customer oriented business. Also, the whole Starbucks deal, how are they to know you're the only one at the counter when they're behind the counter blending your nonfat latte? They're doing the same as Blockbuster; double checking for all the customers. Maybe the person who took the order heard something different and they make SURE it's correct for you! It's obvious you don't work in the customer service industry so before you think about complaining about people like me doing my j ob correctly, think of what we have to go through dealing with grumpy customers like you. If great customer service is what really bugs you, then start shopping at Wal-Mart from now on. You'll fit right in! Stephanie Michael 2005-2006 Proposed Budget. First, pursuant to the Higher Education Compact that was agreed upon by the California State University Trustees and Governor Schwarzenegger, the proposed budget for the 20052006 academic year includes a 3 percent general funding increase (yes you read correctly, an increase). This means that the CSU system as a whole will see a funding increase of $71.7 million for basic budget support. Second, pursuant to the same Higher Education Compact the proposed budget also includes additional funding of $50.8 million to be spent towards enrollment growth. This means that the CSU system will be allocated more money to accommodate a 2.5 percent increase in enrollment. This will affect CSU San Marcos students because it will accommodate a slight increase in enrollment for the Fall 2005 and Spring 2006 terms. Third, while student fees were increased 8% for the 2005-2006 school year, students can find solace knowing that a substantial portion of this fee increase will be dedicated to financial aid for needy students. So while • the advertisement in the April 13 th edition of the Pride (paid for by ASI) dons the caption, "Need help paying for school? Too Bad," the fact is, contrary to this misleading advertisement, more money will be dedicated to providing financial aid. So with all of this said, I would certainly hope in the future that Associated Students Inc. does a better j ob informing its constituency(you the students) of both sides of the story.

I don't remember the last time I finished 600 pages in a day, but the pace of the plot kept me turning the pages (in spite of reading all the footnotes), and I just had to finish. Admittedly Crichton's characters are a little thin, but this is a plot-driven thriller, rich in detail, suspense, twists, turns, and 'can they really do that?' action. As a student of biology/ecology I was especially interested to read Crichton's interpretation of the data regarding global warming, and he didn't disappoint (though I'm guessing he may be joining the Salman Rushdie Club for famous authors threatened as THE PRIDE in Dan Brown's know about global warming via a techno-thriller, but hey, literature is loaded with fiction aimed at social change. Perhaps to avoid the infidels club, Crichton illuminates his non-fiction conclusions regarding global ^ ^ U warming data in an Author's Message at the end of the book, and offers an editorial entitled "Why Politicized Science is Dangerous" that is also enlightening and speaks to the author's motivation. An extensive annotated bibliography gives readers plenty of information to research the issues raised in the novel. The annotation for Peter Huber's book "Hard Green" has me thinking he may have been lX0VSi the basis for Crichton's smarty-pants Kenner characx ter, so I'm going to start there. killed by it), but the point is to THINK "State of Fear" is a fun read and not accept everything you with a terrific plot that will read as truth. Some will find make you think twice next it ironic that a popular author time some talking head tells is asking you to think twice you the sky is falling. Enjoy! about what you think you infidels.) The arguments are pretty one-sided with Ph.D.s arguing with actors or socialites about the science, and I will personally take issue with worshipping at the altar of the cost-benefit analysis (my husband was _ "Angels & Demons" BY ANDREA MORALES Pride Staff Writer Robert Langdon, a worldrenowned Harvard symbologist and expert on ancient societies, is awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call emanating from a Swiss research facility, summoning him for an immediate departure to Geneva. And so begins the story of "Angels and Demons," another best seller by Dan Brown, author of the "The Da Vinci Code." Langdon is asked to analyze a mysterious symbol that has been seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. Once Langdon arrives, he discovers evidence of the inconceivable: the symbol belongs to an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati, the most powerful known underground organization. Langdon is asked to help solve the murder. The Illuminati brotherhood is feared to have resurfaced to carry out a legendary vendetta against their most hated enemy — the Catholic Church. Langdon agrees to help, and soon discovers that the murder victim has a daughter, Vittoria Vetra. Langdon jets off to Rome to meet up with Vetra. Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, meets Langdon in Vatican City where their worst fears are confirmed. On the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the heart of Vatican City. Both Langdon and Vetra embark on a frenzied hunt through sealed crypts, burial chambers, closed cathedrals, and the most secret vault. Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that winds all through Rome. The trail will take them to the ancient meeting place of the Illuminati brotherhood. "Angels and Demons" mixes art history with mythology. Brown expertly guides the reader through compelling twists and turns using theories of signs and symbols coupled with medieval history. If you are looking for a book that will entertain you with every page, Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" is an excellent choice.

SIMON For The Pride Such an overload of guilty pleasure and juvenile genius is going to send you running one way or the other, and it should. And I should be able to avoid a copout. But my evaluation is still stuck on whether to use thumbs or digits. I watched from the edge of my seat. I let my mouth hang open. I laughed out loud. But I'm fairly certain it was one of the s tupidest movies I've seen in my life. Now to be fair, I had all those same reactions to the first "Spiderman" and the second "Star Wars" prequel, and they were trying to be deep. "Kung Fu Hustle," however, entangles the line between laughing at and laughing with while giving you the feeling its creator might well be doing the same. Stephen Chow wrote, directed, and starred in this... this movie, and as its tragic, complex, and eventually god-like hero, it's hard to tell which is his strongest field. Every aspect seems a tribute to himself, despite the fact that the will to make such a thing might be his most original asset. If there was one less iota of effort put into this film—if it were not so completely itself—I'd be able to work on a much more scathing review. Still, there's no denying the inconsistency between the Axe Gang's initial (stylishly) stolen style and their eventual descent into bland buffoonish thugs. The use of Images courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics CGI—clearly the point that will divide genre fans—provides more laughs than gasps, and is used so heavily in thefightscenes that breaks from it make brilliant martial artists look like amateurs in a second rate music video. As a fan of both ridiculous slapstick and gory violence, I can say that reminder of what a totalitarian government can do to art. When you don't know what you think, and you don't know what they want, I guess it's good to know we're getting what we deserve.

San Marcos, CA MISSION PARK �16 A &E Tuesday, April 26, 2005 T H E P RIDE kHon BY THOMAS F. GORMAN III Pride Staff Writer Located on California's Historic Pacific Coast Highway, Hon Sushi presents an opportunity for CSUSM diners looking to indulge in an aesthetically pleasing culinary delight. Dinner at the sushi bar begins with a refreshing bowl of baby cucumbers topped with a light dressing made of vinegar, sugar and salt, and is accompanied by a bowl of lightly salted sugar peas. After a few beers and couple shots of hot Sake, the entrées served by Hon Sushi's head c hefs understudy, Jun Jung, were eatables delectable enough to turn the mostfinickyeater to glutton. The first entrées served consisted of regular cuts of salmon and albacore sushi. The salmon is elegantly garnished with a mini palm tree made of carrot and topped with cucumber fronds. Albacore is served with lemon wedges and wrapped with ginger leaf giving the dish a delightful appeal. The cuts of fish are fresh and full of flavor, but are not overwhelmingly fishy for those scared of raw cuts offish. The two-piece regular sushi cuts run between $3 and $6 dollars, which is reasonable considering the flavor and artistry the dishes provided. Remaining entrées sampled consisted of a colorful assortment of rolls beginning with the cucumber paradise roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a delicious roll with mild flavor consisting of an inside made of tuna, yellow tail, salmon, crab meat and asparagus. The roll is held together by a thin layer of cucumber wrapping. The cucumber paradise roll is paradise for the taste buds, but is difficult to fit in your mouth due to the size of the roll. The cucumber paradise roll is a six-piece roll that can serve as a meal on its own and costs $6.95. The next roll sampled is a specialty roll known as the volcano roll. This was my first time >J -li -I sampling a volcano roll and I was pleased. The volcano roll has a crab meat, cucumber, and avocado inside, topped with baked scallops. The baked scallops are then garnished with black fish eggs and shavings of green onion. The baked scallops melted and the black fish eggs popped every time they hit my mouth providing an exciting bating experience. Presentation of the volcano roll was nothing short of spectacular as the roll is served in a decorative boat made of carrot and cucumber. The volcano roll is an eight-piece roll costing $11.95 and is worth every penny. The volcano roll is a definite must for the first time visitor. Then the Hon roll #2 was sampled. The Hon roll #2 consists of an inside containing tuna, salmon, shrimp tempura, crab meat, onion, green onion, and masago. The roll is then held together by an outside layer made of soybean paper. The presentation of the Hon #2 roll is not the most colorful, but is a clean looking roll with flavor to back it up. The combination of shrimp tempura and crab meat is a gratifying combination for any palate. The Hon roll #2 is an eight- • y Photos by Thomas F.

The meal ended with a bang as an animated-looking caterpillar roll consisting of an eel and cucumber inside was served. The outside of the caterpillar roll is decorated with artful pieces of avocado, octopus eyes, and carrot antennas. The caterpillar roll is must have for those with children, or for those who wish to feel like a child again. The flavor is amazing as the tastes of the avocado and the sweetfleshof the fresh water eel combine Ki forming a truly unique dinning experience. Hon Sushi is located at 1733 S.

XIII NO. 14 Spring 2005 grad details Task force outlines areas for improvement in campus policing practices W hat upcoming graduates need to know BY YVONNE BRETT Pride Staff Writer University Police vehicles are a regular sight in front of the campus. BY CHEZARE MILO Pride Staff Writer The Task Force on Campus Policing released their "Final Report, First Combined D raft" on Friday, April 28 to Interim Chief of Police Aaron Woodard and Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Neal R. Hoss for review. The report contains 31 specific and often multi-provisional recommendations for change within police department as well as other related areas in the campus community. According to the Task Force's report, Woodard and Hoss are to, "develop a calendar to address each of the recommendations," Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride and create, "a report concerning any recommendations that will not be acted upon." Using the "concept of community oriented policing" as a model for recommendations to the CSUSM Police, the report concludes that while community oriented policing, "is a philosophy that the University Police of Cal State San Marcos has adopted in its mission, vision, and values statement," there are, "many ways in which the University Police could strengthen how it carries out community oriented policing in its general practices, its staffing, its communication strategies and educational functions." Recommendations of the report include implementing diversity and profiling training for officers, increasing foot patrols of the campus, establishing regular patrol areas for specific officers, using informal sanctions when at all possible, increasing community outreach programs, creating an ongoing review board for policing practices and exploring the use of cameras in police vehicles. The task force formed in January 2005 with the goal of, * "preparing a report for the Vice President for Finance and Administrative Services that would be Commencement 2005 will be Saturday May 14 with one ceremony at 9:00 a.m. and another at 3:00 p.m. at the Del Mar Fair Grandstands. There will be around 800 people graduating at each ceremony, and around 10,000-12,000 guests are expected to attend. The graduation committee has been busy figuring out all of the logistics for the day and has formulated some helpful advice to get you through the day as smoothly as possible. The first thing to know, before you plan any sort of celebration, is that the ceremony will last around 2-2 hours, and you will not be allowed to leave early. Plan your lunch or dinner reservations accordingly, and allow for all the picture taking, hugging grandmas and traffic. Graduates must check in one hour before the ceremony to begin lining up. You have to say goodbye to your family and friends at the Plaza de Mexico and check in at the Paddock entrance with your cap and gown. At the entrance you will receive your name card and cords if you are graduating with honors.

The freshman and their parents were part of a survey conducted by Community Health Improvement Partners' (CHIP) designed to ultimately improve current suicide prevention programs. According to a CHIP press release, sui- cide has become a growing concern to the community because it is the second leading cause of death among younger college students and the suicide rate among this group has been rising in San Diego County. A magnet prepared with information on how to detect signs and symptoms of depression and telephone numbers for suicide prevention hotlines was the centerpiece of the study. The magnets were given to both students and parents. The groups were surveyed once at the beginning of the fall 2004 semester and again in spring 2004. The study was meant to determine the reaction of students and parents when someone close to them showed signs or appeared to be at risk of suicide. According to the study, over half the students kept the magnet in visible location (such as a refrigerator); almost 40 per cent did so "all or most of the time" and over 80 per cent of parents who received the magnet also kept the magnet visible. In addition the study showed that students were somewhat more likely, after having received the magnet, to recognize the signs and symptoms of depression in a friend and encourage the friend to call See STUDY, page 2 What do you think about your professors?

In addition the task force "was to document current use of best national practices at Cal State San Marcos, and where appropriate and in compliance with state law and system policy, recommend improvements in the existing policing model." The task force was formed due to campus community concerns regarding policing practices in the wake of the arrest of student Jason Williams. The 11 member panel consists of Chair Terry Allison, Associate Vice President of Human Relations & Campus Enterprises Linda Leiter, Director of Student and Residential Life Bridget Blanshan, Academic Senate Executive Committee member and Professor of Sociology Valerie Callanan, Faculty subject expert and Professor of Sociology Edwardo Portillos, staff member Charles Guthrie, student and ASI Childcare Representative Edith Zarza, student and ASI College of Arts and Sciences Representative Sarah C. Leonard, community member Tim Dong, CSU Fullerton Chief of Police Judi King, and Interim Chief of CSUSM Police Aaron Woodard. "Overall I think that funding (for the recommendations) is going to be an issue," said Leonard, "I hope that they (Woodard and Hoss) look at this as top priority." She said she felt that the creatjon of an ongoing review board for policing practices on campus was the single most important recommendation contained in the report.

"CHIP'S Suicide Prevention Committee wanted to develop a simple strategy or tool that would help raise awareness and prevent suicide among college students," said CHIP committee member and Scripps Mercy Hospital trauma nurse Beth Sise. Sise said that the idea developed from an editorial in Newsweek. The author, a mother who lost her own son to suicide, thought that a magnet, similar to the one used in the study, could GRADUATION, from page 1 ters' candidates, teacher candidates, and finally those receiving bachelor's degrees.

Graduates may bring a small bottle of water and a camera, but need to leave anything bulky behind. Cell phones must be turned off once the ceremony starts. Guests will be seated on the second, third and fourth levels of the grandstand. There is handicap access on all levels and plenty of seating. All seats will have a great View of the big screen on the track and all seats are shaded, so hats and sunscreen are not necessary. Refreshments and leis will also be available for purchase. That brings us to graduation etiquette. Graduates are being asked to please leave inflatables Photo by Chezare Milo / The Pride Changes in policing practices are unlikely to mean less regular patrol interactions with University Police such as the questioning of Mike Rostami in front of the Dome on May 2. Rostami later said he was asked to leave campus and threatened with arrest. Touting a handful of forms, he said he was on campus to get information about the requirements for the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) program. Rostami said that the police told him he, "looked suspicious" and that someone reported him digging through the trash (which is illegal in San Marcos). He produced a Volkswagen throttle body that he said he found sitting on top of a recycling bin, arid guessed that this was the reason for someone reporting him to police. Rostami promptly left campus. about specific recommendations contained in the report until he and Hoss had time for review, and the Policing Task Force Report was finalized. help prevent suicides. "The causes of depression are complex," said Sise. "Depression is often the result of a combination of inherited, personal-psychological, and environmental factors. And at times depression occurs for no apparent reason. But whatever the cause, depression is nearly always treatable." In college, stress arising from the environment can play a part in the development of a depressive episode. Common sources of stress in the life of college students, especially freshman, include: greater academic demands, being on one's own in and air horns at home. Wasn't that a high school thing? If you show up and have been "celebrating" early, you will be asked to leave. After the ceremony the graduates will be excused row by row in a formal recessional, and will have the opportunity to accept congratulations from the faculty who will line up in the Paddock area. The best piece of advice, from a former graduate, is to prearrange where you are going to meet your family and friends after the ceremony. Do not choose the Paddock area because it will be very crowded. If you need help choosing a spot, look on the Commencement 2005 link on the CSUSM home page, where you will find a nice aerial photo, maps to Del Mar and lots of other helpful information.

The forms allow students to anonymously evaluate the instructor and the course on different scales, ranging from how enthusiastic the instructor was to how prepared they were in class. It's an opportunity for students to have their voices heard and to offer advicp and critique to help teachers in f uture courses. The evaluation form consists of a series of questions compiled by the Faculty A ffairs Committee. There are different types of evaluation forms for different types of instructors, but all the forms were designed in order to get the most appropriate feedback f rom students regarding course instructors. One of the most important things about the Student Evaluation of Course Instruction forms is the way in which they are distributed. The procedure is designed to give students f ull anonymity so that they are completely candid in their evaluations. The course instructor is asked to leave the room and two student volunteers read the instructions and distribute the evaluations to the class. "The process that's outlined on the front of that envelope is really important for the students to follow," said Associate Dean of the College of Education Dr. Peggy Kelly. "Some students, in their zeal, they may really love a professor, hand it to the professor, which invalidates it. It has to come from the students to Institutional Research, not pass through a faculty member's hands." This process guarantees that there is no opportunity for a professor to see or change the evaluations before they reach Institutional Research. Students are usually given 15 minutes at the end of class to complete the forms and place them in a manila envelope. A fter the forms are completed, they are taken to Institutional Research and copies are then sent to the appropriate departments. "Faculty are not allowed to see any of the evaluation forms 756 So. Rancho Santa Fe Rd. Sav-on Center San Marcos, CA 92069 before grades are posted," said Kelly. "That's for the student's protection in the event that some students feel like there might be retribution because of a poor evaluation. This is to avoid any of that sort of conflict." If a student writes something accusatory on the evaluation form, certain steps are taken by the administration. "When you're talking about student evaluations, a comment by one student is not significant enough," said Kelly. There needs to be more data because it's not uncommon for a student to feel that they're getting a bad grade in class, therefore, they try to get back at the teacher " In this case, more data would include specific dates, times and reactions to inappropriate classroom behavior, as well as more than one student making the claim. "There is a cause for concern when it's more than one student and it's very specific about what the issues are," said Kelly. "The more specific a student can be about what the incidence or behavior was, the more administrators have to work with. When that's corroborated by others in the classroom, we have a conver- (760)727-5085 (760)727-8136 Quality Fish Everyday Resonable Price Good Service The Engraving Place Sushi Station S an Marcos Bivd # 120 S an Marcos, C A 92069 ( in Albertson's Shopping Mall) Plaques • Trophies • Corporate Awards Money Clips • Key Chains • Baby Items Kevin W.

In the end, it's important to know that the evaluation forms do make a difference. They can play a vital part in an instructor's academic career. If an instructor is going through the retention, tenure and promotion process, student evaluations are used to measure whether they have addressed certain problem areas in their teaching and improved upon them. Getting student feedback can only improve the quality of courses and instructors at CSUSM. "We want to know the students opinion on how the courses were from their perspectives. The faculty members have their perspectives and have put their best efforts into the course, but were they successful?" said Kelly. "If it weren't for the students, why would we be here?" One student remarked about the student evaluation process. "When I fill out the forms, I do try to fill them out honestly," said Randie Chance, a sophomore psychology major. "I think good teachers care what students think about their classes and their teaching styles."

If you're looking to get away f rom it all and travel, but money is tight, don't worry there are plenty of ways to travel cheaply. Here are a few ideas: First, if you're a student, there are places that specialize in cheap student travel, such as www.statravel.com. You may have seen this travel company on "The Real World," this is a cool company because they specialize in getting students great deals. Their website is very user friendly - you can plan your whole trip there and even come up with better ideas than you started with. They have information on places to stay, as well as transportation once you get there. Some of the current roundtrip deals featured include Los Angeles t o Costa Rica for $208, Los Angeles to London f or $328, and San Diego to New York for $268. Take advantage of student travel deals while you can, you have the rest of your life t o work. Second, if you're searching for cheap airfares, t ry the airlines' websites. O ften they have better deals then elsewhere. Right now on Hawaiian Airlines website (www.hawaiianairlines.com) you can fly Los Angeles to Hawaii for $358 round-trip if you travel before June 9, 2005. Airlines frequently o ffer better deals than other travel websites because they want you to book your flight directly. Southwest Airlines (www. southwestairlnes.com) o ffers summer rates as low as $49 oneway. Southwest comes out with Internet specials every Tuesday that will keep you flying cheap. Jet Blue (www.jetblue.com) is another airline that frequently o ffers low fares. Currently they're o ffering $39 one-way tickets f rom Long Beach to Las Vegas. With the high cost of gas it might actually save you money to drive to Long Beach and then fly to Vegas. Jet Blue doesn't fly everywhere, but it is definitely worth checking out. Third, b e flexible. If you are flexible on your travel dates you can find good deals, you j ust have to look for them. If you can travel during the week, do it. You're going to save on a irfare and hotel rooms during the week. Fourth, take a drive. If flying isn't your thing, take a road trip. Road trips are awesome and can be where you make some of the best memories with your f riends. The price of gas is high right now, but if you can get your buddies t o chip in, a road t rip is a great idea for a cheap summer trip. Find something you like - baseball for example - and go watch your team play in another city. You will have more f un exploring a new city i f you're doing something you enjoy. F ifth, get lost. We are lucky enough to live in an amazing city that is close to the beach, the mountains, and the desert. Have a vacation close to home. You don't have t o travel f ar to have an amazing trip. If you're looking to get away, book a hotel Earn Your Master's or Doctorate at Alliant!

T here are some b ooks you want t o hold on to f orever... f or e verything else t here's www. whosegotthebook.com. CSUSM students M att Cook and K ris Maxey got t ired of overpaying f or their text b ooks and getting only a s mall f raction of what they paid f or t hem in r eturn. But they d idn't sit on t heir l azy r ear e nds like the rest of u s — they did something about i t — they created a website f or CSUSM students t o list and sell t heir b ooks online. T here a re a lot of national websites that students could u se t o sell and t rade b ooks, but b etween shipping f ees and not k nowing t he p erson you a re getting t he b ook f rom, it b ecomes a complicated process. " With a lot of t he national sites, y ou're sending y our b ooks all t he w ay to. N ew York, w hereas t his one, you c an meet somebody at y our s chool...in t he dome or the library," said Cook. To u se t he website, students need only log in and post t he i nformation about their book. Website creators Matt Cook and Kris Maxey. "You put the name of the b ook.. .the a uthor... and how much you are asking f or the book, so it can t urn into a little bit of a competition between students...you might see the same book posted at five d ifferent prices, «and you can choose which one you prefer," said Cook. W hen a student posts the information about the book they want to sell, it is temporarily held in a database. Then the student receives an email with Cook and Maxey's contact information. "You can either send payment [by mail] or you can tell u s and we can meet you somewhere... One of the things w e're hoping for is that as [the website] develops, you can pay online and (your posting) can go u p right away, but that w asn't really possible for u s f rom the start," said Cook. The cost of using the website is $3 per book posting and the book stays listed until it sells or the student wishes to remove it San Marcos O utstanding Features Competitive Rates Month-to-Month Leases Perimeter Alarm System website. It's easily accessible. If you can go online and register for your classes, you can post a book on the website. Little kids could u se it. It's very simple," said Maxey. What will the bookstore t hink of www.whosegothebook.com? " They a ren't gonna like it. T hey're not gonna like it one bit, because t hey're basically a monopoly, so why would they want another business to i nfringe on their monopoly?" said Maxey. But i nfringing on bookstore monopoly is exactly what Cook and Maxey hope t o do—with student help that is. " Go ahead and t ry our web site.

So did I BY PHOENIX LINDGREN Pride Staff Writer One year ago I was much like you, reading the last issue of The Pride and thinking, ' I could do better.' So I added that hideous 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday section to my class schedule, and showed up all fresh-faced and eager in the fall, certain that I would b e The Pride's tipping point - the one person they needed to take the paper from flawed to fabulous. Thank God the writers and editors from Spring ' 04 had already put together most of the material for the "Welcome B ack" issue, because as soon as Co-editorsin-chief Elizabeth Baldwin and Mike Dolan began trying to make story assignments I was lost in a sea of inverted pyramids, compelling ledes, and the t errifying realization that if I interviewed someone for a news or features story I would have to actually quote them. Accurately. I learned quickly that the place for someone with no news writing experience is Opinions — where the asshole analogy lives on quite comfortably - and thus I began to make my mark (and reputation - be that as it may) on The Pride. I also volunteered to act as Copy Editor and spent my Monday afternoons trying desperately to ferret out those insidious typos, punctuation, and grammatical errors that plague every writer of English, and seem particularly unique to those MLA aficionados (reborn as Pride journalists) who find themselves having to apply the 'and now for some- thing completely d ifferent' A P style - where dashes are to have a space placed fore and a ft, and titles are always placed in quotations - never underlined - among others. (Editor Lesson One: no matter how many times anyone reads through the paper before it goes to the printer, there will be mistakes.) I eventually learned how to conduct an interview and take accurate quotes (the secret is in the sound bite - it works for print as well as TV), what the hell a compelling lede is, and the secret of the mysterious inverted pyramid (put the important stuff up front, j ust in case your editor needs to lob o ff the end of your story to make it fit the "news hole" - another of those charming journalist jargon bits.) I wrote stories and opinions I was proud of, and cleaned up the copy as much as was humanly possible, but I knew I could do more to improve The Pride. This spring I took the leap f rom Staff Writer and Copy Editor to A rts & Entertainment Editor. Finally The Pride would give priority to more of the artsy-fartsy stuff that happens on and around our campus and less to the blockbuster entertainment that hardly needs another marketing boost f rom the puny Pride (see how far my vision has fallen on pages 1720.) Huge props to Yvonne Brett and Zachary J. Simon who covered a lot of those types of events, but as we got f urther into the semester even they began to feel the need to explore other types of writing. (Editor Lesson Two: Pride writers write what they Black and Tan, it's not lust a drink BY PATRICK B. LONG Pride Staff Writer A troubling comment f rom March has had me thinking about the mistaken idea behind the drink "Black and Tan." It is has troubled me for some time and taking the time, j ust weeks before my trip to Ireland for the summer, to set the story straight. During one of my sessions of eavesdropping j ust before St. Patrick's Day, I heard a young student commenting on his recent sampling of a beer concoction called "Black and Tan." For some, taking the delicious stout Guinness and mixing it with any lighter beer is considered "Black and Tan." This is not the case. Why would I be concerned with this drink? Well, it has a dark history that many bartenders and patrons may not know about. "Black and Tan" beer alludes to a faction of under trained and violent English police occupying Ireland. Their u niforms were thrown together and consisted of dark tunics and tan pants, giving the nickname "Black and Tans." There violent occupation attempted to stop the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.) and the freedom of Ireland. Their bloody occupation included killing a dozen spectators at a football match during the Bloody Sunday in 1920. The drink is originated in Ireland, of course, and must be combined with Bass Ale. The misconception is that it is mixed with Harp, another beer by Guinness. Simply, Guinness is Irish and Bass is English, when mixed Guinness is on top. Two forms of thought are concerned with the mixing of these beers. One theory states that since the Irish beer is on top and suppressing the English, it is a good thing. Second, the beer should not be mixed with any beer f rom England and it should be enjoyed unadulterated. For me, this is the best route to go. Photo courtesy of Phoenix Lindgren / The Pride want, not what you want.) The Pride generally consists of about twenty staff writers maybe half of those consistently submit stories on a weekly basis. The editorial staff has learned that the easiest... no, most efficient... no, likeliest way of getting writers to submit by deadline is to get them to write what they're interested in writing. Being part of The Pride staff is a kind of weird quasi-job-that'sreally-a-class, where you have the A students who work really hard (the ones you'd promote to the good staff writer positions if this were a real job) and the D students who slack off all semester and then stuff your email box last minute with stories for points to try and pass the class (the ones who'd be fired for missed deadlines if this were a real job.) As much as I have come to love my writers who have struggled to take their writing to the next level over the course of the semester (you know who you are), the camaraderie with the other editors has been the highlight of the job; nothing brings people together like having to show up on campus for meetings at all hours of the night and weekends, with the common vision of making The Pride something better than it was the week before. Which brings me back to the original reason for writing this piece: there is not a single one of you or us who will ever be The Pride's tipping point. The Pride is a team effort. The only way it will get better is when enough of you lay down your critic's pen and pick up a staff writer's or editor's pen. This has been an extraordinary year for The Pride: Liz and Mike have developed a dedicated staff, most of who will not be here next semester. If The Pride was a traditional publication, it would have the benefit of staffers who spend years developing it into an award-winner. But The Pride has to rely on students showing up every semester who are willing to put in the hours necessary each week (lots and lots of hours) to put something worth reading in those newsstands around campus. So no more mewling and puking! Add section 41261(COMM) or 42078 (LTWR) to your fall schedule and let's see what you can do to improve The Pride. And in the meantime, I 'll go back to kidding myself that ' I could do better.' Hello operator...

Williams was known only by his child-given moniker, Elm Street, on Sunday May 1 when he was center-stage at Anaheim's House of Blues, With the poetic interpolation of former CSUSM student Anthony Blackshir, a /k/ a Ant Black, Elm passionately swept the crowd with sledgehammer-like delivery through arguably the best tracks on his album titled "Tha Hurdlez." It was evident that fiis riveting truths acted as a beacon for the connecting audience. Hands were above heads in motion, and people roared with every rhyme. Elm's live performance was an explosive treat. "We shut em' down," said Williams. "People were telling me that they haven't seen someone move the crowd like that in a long time." Hands down, the CD is great, but, as it is supposed to be, it can't touch the raw quality of a live performance. Once the MC made his way offstage, he was flooded with compliments, hugs, and handshakes f rom a variety of fens. The album chronicles times good and bad, experiences with women, a dab of sex-life, and most importantly, the primary message: stand up and do something about the daily hardships and struggles of African-Americans and-minorities in modern America. From start to finish, Elm puts you on an emotional roller coaster evoking smiles, deep thought, angst, and plenty of anger. Make no assumptions. Elm is neither tetchy about oppression of the past or simply pointing his finger at White America here, but rather, presents inequities that he has felt as an African-American man headed^ in a positive direction. On one exceptional track "This Is Me," Elm spits raspy fire in a verse to make people aware of his harassment f rom crooked police while attending a community college in Riverside. Out he raps: "Po Po (police) run up on me point their gats, screaming freeze while I 'm facing their straps, one false move a nTll viciously react, I hate cops but not cause of the that, let me freeze time, allow me to take you back, I was walking home, pigs say boy what's going Z ERO C L O S I N G C O S T S p,p — -' on, asked to see my ID, I act like Ice-Cube. no let me see yours, wrong move he opened the door start swinging like M ike..." "Being a Black man in America is a struggle everyday" said Williams, "I want to be the next Malcolm X and I want to set a p'ositive example for black people, especially young kids who are up and coming." Surprisingly, the album's Y O U W A N T ONE H OME. soundscape is pretty nice considering a limited budget and the fact the he worked five jobs and attended school full-time while putting this piece together. Elm's changing lyrical tone throughout the album brilliantly meshes with his clever metaphors and humor. His beats are h is very own west coast sound better known as "Thunder Funk." The tracks range from smooth with "Circles" to head-banging rugged with "Westcoast Slide." "I call it thunder f unk because it's just thunderous.. .its j ust Riverside's very own sound," said Williams It is clear why he kept the unchosen name that he hated as a boy, Elm Street. Williams got this name because of his Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Freddy Krueger-like behavior when in school. Last semester, a r un i n with police cost him graduation and a track scholarship f rom which he depended on financially. Elm Street is fitting for all the dark times Williams has had throughout his life. Get the album. It's pure talent and it is real as it comes. Williams sells copies of his album and can be contacted at: 909-816-3448 or willil86@csusm.edu. - WE HAVE TWO COMMUNITIES [AND FINANCING THAT'S JUST RIGHT FOR YOU, TOO.] !

Copeland, hailing f rom Florida and other parts of the East Coast, Copeland's lead singer Aaron Marsh has been enveloped in the Florida music scene for quite some time. As well as being the lead singer, Marsh also plays over half of the bands instruments, including the guitar, piano, mellotron, and organ. The new CD is filled with quiet and subtle tones that are all too real when coupled with Marsh's soft serenading voice. With tracks such as "Sleep" which is very heavy in piano to tracks like "No One Really Wins" a nonstop rock song, it seems that listeners can get a wide variety of songs, from one extremely talented group. Even when you finish the ten song LP, you'll be waiting for more, but sadly to say there is none, at least not for now. The diversity in the CD will simply amaze you as you skip from track to track, each time finding a new and ever evolving array of songs. After signing with the independent label The Militia Group, Copeland has been touring nonstop all around the U.S. The band's CD is good, but if you get a chance to see them live, jump at it, it will be one of the best shows you've gone to in awhile. For more information on the album or on Copeland's touring schedule check out www. thecopelandsite.com or www.themilitagroup. com.

There's a bunch a cool rides that Xzibit and his buds from West Coast Customs probably pimped out with lots of chrome. One more thing: plenty of females exuding mountainous cleavage. Needless sequels typically suck. They suck even more when they try too hard to be cool and they're James Bond rip-off action flicks. But if you're entertained by gunfire, explosions, and the first ever thug-style tank-jacking, then you should consider "XXX State of the Union." While Vin Diesel (the original XXX) desperately explores for more "grounded roles" such as Disney's "The Pacifier," Ice Cube has assumed the rofe of Darius Stone, the new XXX: more dangerous, rugged, and fearless, according to NSA superman Augustus Gibbons (still played by Samuel L. Jackson). Amazingly, director Lee Tamahori - while possibly smoking a new brand crack - does a splendid job of making all that insipid dialogue accurate. Yes, the plot is so horrible it's laughable. And yes, at any particular point of this 122 minute formulaic bonanza, you may realize that the movie is going nowhere. That is of course until Stone maneuvers a tank on an aircraft carrier like it's a formula one racecar, and then ditches it by converting it into a projectile with a jet catapult. That sequence was definitely worth an instant replay with that cool ESPN sports center melody. A fter being recruited by a former Let's talk about the dialogue one more time. Why is it necessary for writers of action movies to include the lame one-liners to encapsulate every action sequence? Simon Kinberg, who wrote the upcoming "Fantastic 4," can certainly write some hilarious racial humor, but his characters sound too dumb to achieve the impossible goals set by the plot. Maybe that's why Tamahori flooded this flick with computer generated car chases and explosions. When is Hollywood going to realize that they could market these motion pictures in an innovative way by just referring to them as "action" without the misleading trailing term "movie?"

In a phone interview, Thornton said the movie - a remake of the 1976 classic starring Walter Matthau - is "funny as hell. We hope that we are just going to entertain people with it." Thornton, seen recently in "Bad Santa," and "Friday Night Lights," reprises Matthau's role as Coach Buttermaker, a former minor league baseball player and heavy drinker, who takes money to coach the Bears, a team of untalented little leaguers. The movie follows the team through the season as they struggle to win. Although they may not be the most talented little league team, the Bears have heart and that proves to be enough to get them to the championship game that will be played against their rivals the Yankees. '"Bad News Bears' is pretty much the same movie in terms of tone as the original movie with Walter Matthau," Thornton said. "It is a comedy that is a family comedy but still kind of pushes it to the edge in terms of the humor Image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and the language and things like that." "It is not like a movie that is going to change the world or anything," said Thornton, "but a movie that might make people kind of think about themselves and their kids a bit more and realize that not every kid can be the best at something, but if you try hard maybe you will be better than you thought you were." When asked how he felt about playing Matthau's character, Thornton said, "It always makes you a little nervous when you are reprising someone's role. He (Matthau) was one of my favorites. I always loved Walter Matthau and I actually knew him," said Thornton. "I just wish he had been around to see what we did here because I think we tried to update it and modernize it a little bit but we tried to keep the integrity of the original movie," said Thornton. "I think he (Matthau) would have been pretty proud." This isn't the first time Thornton has played a coach. He also played Coach Gary Gaines in 2004's "Friday Night Lights." "I don't mind playing a coach," TUTORS NEEDED! •Excellent Pay •Flexible Hours •Great Location We are looking for talented tutors for Math, Chemistry or Physics.

"I always wanted to be a teacher so this gives me an opportunity to do that." Thornton was attracted to Buttermaker because, "I like characters who seem to be sort of on the edge of life and kind of learn something along the way to improve their lives somehow," he said. "He (Buttermaker) was kind of a loser who hooks up with some other losers and together they kind of feel a little bit more like winners." Playing a coach gave Thornton a chance to work with kids. "I always have f un with kids," he said. "They (the kids) were perfectly cast and really good kids." "They were pretty wild and they needed to be for the movie," said Thornton. "They also were not great baseball players - which we also needed - but they were all good enough to where as the movie went along they got better at it, which is the way it happens in the movie." "Bad News Bears" is directed by Richard (Rick) Linklater who also directed "School of Rock." "Rick was really determined to keep the original vibe of his movie and I think he did a great job," said Thornton. "Rick tried to keep it a little down low because the original movie in a lot of ways, kind of had an independent film feel to it," said Thornton. This film was written by Glen Ficarra and John Requa who wrote "Bad Santa," which also starred Thornton. This film also stars Greg Kinnear ("Stuck on You") and Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River") and many other new young stars. "Bad News Bears" is scheduled for release on July 22.

San M arcos mit mir new website mvwJanatthehlimds.com �m Alfred Chu interviews Tom Cruise BY ALFRED CHU For The Pride And so it b egins...the summer blockbuster movies. With a bigger audience in the summer come bigger movies. In an effort to promote one of those movies, Tom Cruise granted a conference call interview with several college newspapers f rom around the country to discuss the highly anticipated remake "War of the Worlds." Cruise is working with the master and possible pioneer of special effects, director Steven Spielberg once again to tell the story based on the H.G. Well's novel. "War of the Worlds" is about Ray Ferrier (Cruise), a working class family man who shelters himself f rom his family. When the unexpected and unthinkable attack and invasion by aliens happens, he must save his family and fight for survival. Also starring is Dakota Fanning and Tim Robbins. "Fanning is great," said Cruise. "She is a very talented actress. Just personally, a sweetheart and funny. We laughed a lot." 7 "Ray is a guy who is the total opposite of who I am. He doesn't t ake responsibility for his children. He is not taking responsibility for his family or the f uture. But I understand Ray because I have lived in those kinds of blue collar areas growing up. I went to many different schools," said Cruise. It was the sudden delay of Spielberg's and Cruise's other f uture projects that caused this film to be greenlighted. Similar to their past films, "War of the Worlds" contains all the genres of film and there- image courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Dreamworks SKG fore welcomes all types of audiences. "I most definitely enjoy communicating to audiences," said Cruise. " I make movies for audiences. I definitely want them to see it. But I do believe that films have different audiences. A picture such as "Collateral" is not going to have the same kind of broad audience as a picture of "War of the Worlds" or "Mission Impossible" or "Magnolia." But I do believe it is important to try to get that film out to that audience that is going to appreciate it and wants to see a movie like that," said Cruise. With two of Hollywood's talented artists teaming up yet again (the last project Spielberg and Cruise worked on together was "Minority Report"), an estimated budget of $128 million, plus the score of John Williams and the screenplay of David Koepp (Jurassic Park), a critical and financial success is sure to follow.

A movie is a lmost never as good as t he text f rom which it came, but "Hitchhik- • 4b whctrie/ er's Guide to the G alaxy" comes d amn close - probably because Douglas A dams wrote the screenplay. Seeing t he Vogon destructor fleet, the spaceship Heart of Gold, M arvin, Trillian and Zaphod Beeblebrox come to life will delight those who have read HGG, as will the large amount of A dams' wit that finds its way onto the screen. The plot is fairly t rue to the novel, and slight departures don't annoy or distract. The brain-ticking laughs caused by direct quotations of the text will have HGG f ans gasping for breath and leave novices momentarily incapacitated. The sentient m achines and aliens in the Hitchhiker's Guide include every obnoxious, outgoing, depressed, anxious, u nsure and unstable person you have ever met, but here you get to laugh out loud at them. This movie is b etter than t he original " Star Wars" and should b ecome a classic. You don't have to b e a sci-fi f an to enjoy " Hitchhiker's Guide to t he G alaxy" much of the intense humor surrounds t he irony of existence itself.

SIMON For The Pride The "Hitchhiker's Guide to the G alaxy" begs simplification - clever categorizations that will make you feel all the more clever f or going to watch it: 4 Star Wars, Fight Club, and The Never Ending Story... as directed by Monty Python.' A nd if you've enjoyed none of that y ou'll still deserve a lobotomy for missing this, one of the most r efreshing things I 've seen in some time. Of course, with the novel released more than 20 years ago, it was a long t ime coming. Hollywood's decadelong (give or take) creative drought likely had more to do with HGG being m ade now than any noble patience in the vein of ' let's not do it till we can do it right.' The author o f the original book was a key figure in production, which is good, most o ften essential, ESPECIALLY when the book is considered a staple of nerd culture. I 'm not sure how many copies this s eries'(that's right, series, a big pungent $ word) has sold thus f ar or whether the number will justifiably double before the y ear's out, but I do know that I 've been recommended it for a decade, and t hat's a fter seeing it on T-shirts. A nd if a book on a t-shirt w asn't enough of an anomaly, we now have a great film of that book"that values props over CGI. T hat's right, with hardly t he slightest taint of nostalgia, H GG shows that first rate r ubber molds beat second rate silicon chips any day, not that any of the e ffects are second rate. Another r efreshing aspect is that it is truly, though likely not by design, one for pupae and fossil alike. Randyness is minimal, but noisy larvae will j ust make you miss what isn't already muted by lingering laughter. I enjoy probably more than my f air share of glorified violence and hyper sexuality, but if there ever was a chance to reach out to someone who enjoys nothing else, the shared misanthropic core might j ust b e the ticket. Sure there's some mushy corn toward the end, and the sleazy nonhero has b een overdone, but geeks and grotesque alien monsters need love too, right? Providing any k ind of synopsis would r uin a film so defined by its surprises, but I will tell you not to get too caught upr in t he s tunning e ffects as the wit and insights hit j untas Jiard, � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For the past 10 weeks, CSUSM has competed with universities from all across the country, including Harvard, Yale, and UC Davis in Recyclemania. This is the first time CSUSM has entered the competition and has a very good chance of winning the recycling rate category this year.

RAD instructs women to understand the risk of sexual assault and how to defend themselves against aggressors in the event they are attacked.

The 12 hour course is broken up into multiple of days throughout the week and is open to women at Cal State San Marcos and women in the community. "The course offers women great understanding and gives them empowerment," said Kuamoo when asked why women should take this course. "Ninety percent of avoiding an attack is to be aware of your surroundings," she said.

KuamOo said, "Women are used to being nice and sometimes nice isn't good." The April 4-8 session there were five women in the class. On Friday April 8, the women had a chance to practice all the skills they had learned. All of the women participating wanted to remain anonymous but encouraged other women to participate in the RAD program. "I feel so confidant now. I feel safe walking through a parking lot and if anything does happen I can take action," said one student participant, "women in general have been victimized - once you do the program you will feel so much more powerful." Another student participant said, "I recommend this for all women. I feel more powerful and in control. Anyone who goes through this program will learn so many techniques and it doesn't matter how tall or big you are - you will be able to defend yourself. I'm only 5 foot 2 inches and now I can take down someone who is 6 feet (tall) " "I'm not a victim that someone can take advantage of," said another student participant. All of the women interviewed said that the program not only taught defense skills but created new friendships. Photo courtesy of University Police R AD participant practices a defense move on a simulated agressor in a Redman suit. RAD is an internationally recognized organization for women's self defense. According to their website, "RAD is the only self defense program ever endorsed by the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators (IACLEA)." Locally, RAD classes are held twice a year at the Clarke Field House and costs $20 a person. The benefit of membership means women can return anytime anywhere RAD classes are held to either refresh their skills or to add their experience to the class. "RAD is the only existing program with a f ree lifetime return and practice policy, honored throughout both the.US and Canada" according to the RAD website. CSUSM Police Sergeant Dan Koehler has been teaching defensive training for police officers for 15 years, but this RAD session is his first time participating in a female only class. "It's f un to watch people come in that don't know each other or they don't think they can do this and then by the end of the class they're socking pretty hard," said Koehler. Kuamoo said that the Cal State San Marcos chapter of RAD is currently looking for sponsors to help lower the cost of the student fee so that more college women can attend. Koehler said that this kind of training is essential for women. He said that the program really needs additional funding because the campus police station paid for the equipment used by the RAD program, but cannot afford to replace or purchase anymore. Koehler said the cost of one bodysuit is $1,200. More information regarding the on campus classes is available at the university police website: http://www.csusm.edu/police/ RADLhtml.

The Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán (MEChA) sponsored and organized the event held from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and featured guest speaker Adrian Alvarez, a long time activist and labor organizer. Adrian Alvarez spoke of Cesar Chavez as a person. He spoke of his dignity. "He was dignity! That was his charisma and that was his power," said Alvarez. Chavez is best known as the former leader and founder of the United Farm Workers Union. According to the United Farm Workers website, Chavez worked to improve the living and working conditions of farm workers from the 1960's through the early 1990's by getting migrant workers to organize and demand change. His tactics to induce social change included hunger strikes and non-violent protests like those of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. "Soldiers didn't give women the right to vote, the civil rights movement, affirmative action, migrant rights, or the 40 hour work week. It was the work of radicals like Chavez, Dolores Huerta, Malcolm X and Martin •• Photo by Thomas F. Gorman / The Pride Adrian Alvarez (center) talks bout the life & achievements of Cesar Chavez Luther King Jr.," said Alvarez in speaking about the type of work Chavez did for Chicanos. "This campus does not have a sense of community. This reminds us of the continuing struggle we are in," said MEChA President Irene Gomez. In Alvarez's speech he spoke of community as, "not a place, but as an attitude, a value, and a way of behaving." "To build community we plan to start here a Chavez plaza with social gatherings. We'll have music, poetry, and even guest speakers. If we can't get a culture center we must start one ourselves," said Gomez after Alvarez finished speaking. MEChA has been pushing to have a Chicano studies program and a culture center here on campus. The vigil included personal testaments of admiration towards Chavez. Many held lit candles in his honor while others read quotes from Cesar Chavez out loud. The event was concluded by traditional work songs and chants of inspiration. The songs and chants included, "Viva los chicanos", "Viva el pueblo", "Viva Cesar Chavez", and "VIVA!" Chavez is held in high regard by many students here at CSUSM. Every year MEChA organizes a vigil in his honor. "Cesar Chavez is an inspiration to all people of the United States, n o only because of his nonviolent protest, but because of the determination he has toward his people," said student Agustin Zavala. California honors his birthday on Cesar Chavez Day. Cesar Chavez day is celebrated on March 31or the Monday or Friday nearest that date. Additional information about Cesar Chavez can be found at: http://www.ufw.org/. More information about MEChA can be found at: http://public. c susm.edu/student_orgs/ mecha/. "We're very consistent (over the 10 weeks) while other schools have had very high spikes in their numbers," said Carl Hanson of Facility Services. According to Hanson, the lowest percentage from the 10 weeks during the contest is dropped so anything can happen when the totals are calculated. He feels CSUSM has a pretty good chance of winning. "It doesn't seem likely we'll drop below second," said Hanson. The recycling rate category is one of two categories that schools can win through Recyclemania. The recycling rate is a measure of the percent of recyclables vs. the percent of trash. The other category per capita (or per person) is more focused towards universities with dorms and high populations of students living on campus. CSUSM chose to enter in the recycling rate category because there isn't a large population of students living on campus or a large food area that would produce many recyclables. "The university should be really proud if we win because it reflects everyone," Hanson said, "it will mean that we're the best in the nation." The Recyclemania website states that the main goal of the competition is to increase student awareness of campus recycling and help each participating university make achievements in recycling and waste reduction. CSUSM has a strong recycling program due to the efforts of Facility Services, the Green Team and the campus population. The Green team works, "to raise the awareness of recycling on campus," said Hanson. He said that he believes that when most people leave CSUSM they are recycling more than they were when they arrived. He also remarked that the staff was particularly mindful to recycle. "The staff is good about recycling, it's become part of their culture," said Hanson. * When students choose to recycle they are doing more than helping their school win a competition, they are helping the environment. "I recycle more on campus than I do anywhere else," said communication major Katie Powers, "it's so convenient because they place recycle bins everywhere." "Since CSUSM is such a new school and not really reputable in anything, programs like Recyclemania are good because they give us a chance to be nationally recognized," said Powers. "I think it's (Recyclemania) great for the community of San Marcos," said business major and Bluff clothing owner Joe Collins, "This shows the students have the ability to make change and to make the world a better place." "Reduce, reuse, recycle and close the loop," Collins said. "I didn't even know Recyclemania was going on," said liberal studies major Lauren McPhearson, "I think it's cool that we have a chance to be the best in the nation, even if it's in recycling." One of the things students can do to improve recycling on campus is to recycle the plastic Starbucks cups. The plastic Starbucks cups are very often found in the trash and the cups are recyclable as are the cardboard sleeves that go on the cups.

Students are urged to take advantageof the counseling services available at CSUSM Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) located in the same office as SHS. "Depression and anxiety goes along with advanced eating disorders," said Blattner. Currently there are no programs specific to eating disorders. Any new programs will be advertised on SHS website.

You slide on top, give it a slight turn of the wrist and she just starts pumping. She screams louder than anything you've ever heard. At least that's what happens when I get on Kiley, my Yamaha YZFR6. Spring is in the air and all the motorcycles are coming out of their restless winter dens and sprinting around town. There is a certain aspect of respect when you jump on something that can either give you the best feeling of your life, or death. There is no better way to release all that pent up aggression from endless days at school than taking a nice sunset ride down to the beach. Seventydegree weather and a helmet are your two best friends when you go out for a quickie. Despite all the negative things your mother told you about getting a motorcycle and motorcycle gangs, for the most part everyone I've met has been some of the most caring and understanding people out there. I guess it goes hand and hand when there is only about a handful of motorcyclists in a sea of cars. If you are thinking about partaking in the joyous occasion of motorcycling, there are a few ground rules that you need to get down before you jump on one of these things. First is just get the training, make sure you have the proper licensing to ride. Second, if you are a beginner know your limits and capabilities. There are all types of bikes ranging from small 250cc road bikes to the lOOOcc race bikes. All the bikes are designed for specific purposes and if you want to learn the right way, get a smaller engine bike. Plus if you play your cards right you'll be able to run circles around the guys that had to start on the biggest and baddest thing on the market. Don't forget that there is always time for upgrades! Finally, wear the right gear. There are so many times that people lay their bikes down and get all torn up just because they didn't wear leathers. Helmets are m andatory i n C alifornia and We always say ... how concerned we are about the state of the environment., but A CTIONS speak louder than words.

"A couple of students had suggested this, and we are really excited to let the students share their cultural outfits," said Danielle McMartin of Global Affairs. "There will be 14 student organizations that will be participating in food booths, and information booths, and they will be focusing on how their organization thinks globally," said McMartin.

SIMON For The Pride Already sour for returning from a working spring break, the last thing we need to see is another fee increase. Now, I can understand paying for other people's children, I didn't support it, but I can understand it. A 'pave the dirt lot' fee. A 'chair repair' fee. A 'hire more teachers' fee. Sure, sounds reasonable. 'Pay for students to do here what they can do in their local park or gym.' I'm still trying to breathe evenly. Maybe it isn't about turning another academic institution into a place where people who want to advance the potential of humanity are mixed with kids who dream of getting MILLIONS of dollars to throw a ball around. Maybe we just need to bring in some bleachers to ease our budget woes, hey, San Diego built a stadium and all their problems are drifting away. Breathe; it's just like building a gym or a track... Except we have those already. Now, don't go assuming that I don't enjoy watching physical competition, it's great exercise and lucrative to boot, I mean, so much money, imagine if it went to facilitate education rather than fantasies of small fortunes earned for shit-eating smiles next to shit-tasting stocks, imagine. .. Physical competition is great, but only if the goal is injury or death. Sports are nothing but sad supplements for the good old days when if you wanted to prove you were the bigger man you did it with a piece of metal, not rubber. Before you go calling anyone who doesn't watch ESPN a whiney weakling, look up the differences in earning potential between someone in the NFL and someone in the USMC. Sure, I'm bitter. Jocks get more pussy than me...but so do dykes. And I guarantee neither of those terms offers as much offense as the very idea of you paying more tuition so that a sissy like me can clack wood sticks and balls around a neatly trimmed lawn. All you people who voted for the fee increase, I demand you offer two of your own for afightto the death every semester. Give me my damn money's worth for my priceless education.

BY FELIPE ZANARTU For The Pride Cultural absorbtion on campus BY BRYAN MASON Pride Staff Writer Differentiating between areas is like drinking a non-alcoholic beer; it just gets you no where fast. Whilst spending some time at the University of Colorado, Boulder I realized that it is not just the fact that people are indeed different, but there surroundings incorporate the differences that relinquish the pains of everyday life. While roaming the campus and trying to take in as much as one can in a short period of time, the fascinations of the many were dwindled down to mere scrapings, overwhelmed by the everyday politics that engulf the everyday journey of the mind engrossed in a battle with the body. Despite the task at hand, where everyone tries to fit in and be recognized in their own special ways among a civilization of ever progressing technology; it seems that the different areas of the world are so intrigued with all are iPods and laptops that we can't take a simple break and recollect about the differences in cultures. I understand that every person living their life can simply stroll through and be at odds when the end comes, but while strolling there comes a point when we ask ourselves whether or not life can coexist with other life. Why do we judge in miles and kilometers when the real difference is nothing more than a change in structure and order that eventually combines with one another and relates a more cataclysmic process of eventuality? There are some things that are just left up to science and can no longer be explained by simple logic and an understanding of the human relationship with nature and our ever-progressing complexities. But there are things left that we can work on. We can try and combine our knowledge of science and understanding and relay that knowledge to a sort of togetherness that our modern day times of shunning and cell phone jammed streets has created. Be it just a simple hello or a meaningful conversation with different people from different areas of the world it seems that life and its coexisting relationships would better themselves once experienced in a different point of view. I'm not saying that all cultures jshpuld coexist peacefully and to drop your thoughts and join a national religion or thought process, but to simply broaden those horizons and take the alternate path. Recently I listened to some country music, which in broadening horizons is a relatively small feat to accomplish, but I actually liked some of it. It was just my negligence to acquire such hatred in country when I had never taken part in the actual listening and understanding of the music. If everyone just opened up and looked at things from a different perspective there would be much less fear in other cultures and much more consideration for things we take for granted everyday. Don't just walk around with your mocha latte and fret over the ever increasing rainforest deprivation, do something about it. So the next time you hear of a trip or an opportunity, jump at it, even if it turns out that you hated it, at least now you'll iiave proof and a strong argument for the reasons you have.

I was completely prepared to hear ludicrous arguments from both Senator Morrow and Luann Wright claiming that students are being indoctrinated by their professors. I was even prepared to hear some sort of explanation as to why students were blatantly called "immature" in the text of the bill. Although, the Senator's gracious willingness to remove the word immature hardly will deduct from the conservative nature of the bill or the insinuation that students are mindless sheep who simply regurgitate information. I for one have definitely honed in on my critical thinking skills since embarking on my college experience. However, what I did not expect from the two speakers whom I had considered wrong, but entitled to a certain amount of respect was two extremely prejudiced references. Among the Senator's list of groups that might be opposed to the bill was "fairies" while Luann used the phrase "colored people" several times. Call me naive for thinking that at the very least they would refrain from publicly spewing such blasphemy to any audience, let alone a large audience of students. Perhaps we should propose a bill that prevents politicians from "indoctrinating."

Aside from these two speakers, a few of the audience members got out of control. While some people exercised free speech through signs and duct taped demonstration of censorship, others felt the need to harass and belittle fellow students and one person went so far as to flip off a professor in the audience. Added to this were shouted words of sexual harassment. If students truly feel they are being wrongly graded or that their viewpoints are being silenced, I would hardly call this an adequate means of communicating it.

It may be arrogant thinking because everyone in the world longs for that ideal. But where's the reality behind this reality show? "American Idol" is simply a genius marketing strategy. Their tagline, "The Search for a Superstar," gives the impression that anyone can make it big, while thousands of wishful thinkers line up to audition. But when does reality kick in? When judges Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson and especially Simon Cowell give their criticism. Hearts are broken or spirits are lifted. Simon is the show; he carries the show; he's the twist. His brutal honestly is worth waiting through the commercials that air everyfiveminutes. Paula says the same thing over and over. Randy's slang is nothing new. As for the contestants, it's stressful, tiring and you couldn't cut the nervousness with a chainsaw. The true winner of the show is the female who became the first person to. voluntarily quit. She made it to Hollywood but missed her son so much, she said, "It's different now, I'm a mother." That was very commendable. After each round, more hopefuls are sent home. In the end, a winner is chosen, a contract is signed and albums are ready to be sold. Sounds easy doesn't it? Let's hope the winner doesn't take the road less traveled yet again (e.g. "From Justin to Kelly"). The best part of the show is the auditions. The worst of the worst beg for a second chance and when denied, they cry or occasionally throw water at Simon. My question is: do they actually think they can sing? They claim their friends and relatives encourage and praise their singing but don't they know it's called "being nice?" You don't need the resumes of the judges to tell the great singers from the people that make you want to stick something s harp i n y our c ars.

But quite recently, another level has emerged. "American Idol" has been an opportunity for fools to be fools on national TV.

Two. One. Simon says: "Jump in the fucking air!" Okay, so it wasn't Simon, it was lead vocalist, Corey Taylor, of Slipknot. The band played Friday night at Cox Arena at SDSU and though the show did not sell out, you wouldn't be able to tell from the looks of things. The arena was filled with the most loyal maggots of the metal group and when Taylor told the audience to sit on the floor just so that everyone could jump up together, nearly every person obliged. The nine member group (Taylor, percussionist Chris Fehn and Shawn "Clown" Crahan, drummer Joey Jordison, DJ Sid Wilson, bassist Paul Grey, guitarists James Root and Mick Thompson, and sampler/ programmer Craig Jones) put on an energetic show, mainly featuring songs from their latest album, "The Subliminal Verses." Popular songs such as "Duality" had practically the entire audience screaming (well, technically singing) "I push my fingers into my eyes!" But the audience still had a taste for such old favorites as "Spit It Out." Slipknot put on an elaborate show, with various lighting effects, smoke, and video presentations going on two screens on each ^ side of the stage. But t he most spectacular presentation had to do with their percussion instrumentals. This is where Fehn could be spotted banging on a suspended drum set with a baseball bat. Okay, so it wasn't really a drum set. Try empty kegs strapped together. These antics are not to be confused with the talents of Jordison, who had a minutes long drum solo smack dab in the middle of the set. Jordison confidently showed off his skills on a full drum set that was placed on a rotating stage. As he played, the platform directly underneath him turned and even raised in the air. As if • that wasn't enough, when V the platform reached V its maximum height, it H started flipping over, until V Jordison was playing completely sideways. That's when the platform started W rotating again. Wow. Image courtesy of Roadrunner Records Fans suffer " The Massacre" BY CHRIS KING Pride Staff Writer Fifty's followers must be lamenting the fact that this album should have been sold on late night infomercials. Its name couldn't have been chosen more perfectly: it's clearly a massacre. With all the hoopla and trash talking, 50 has still flopped. He is now rich and he hasn't died, yet he refuses to abandon all the violence, which festers throughout damn near his entire album, including the cover. All the high profile producers on this mess failed to carry 50's horrendously dull and immature lyrics that as previously mentioned, promote violence and diss other rappers with much better albums. On the track "How To Rob" he attempts to lyrically bludgeon unmatched contenders Nas and Fat Joe. Big mistake! Fat Joe's Internet Models Wanted Short day, good pay.

It wouldn't be surprising if Nas remains humble and doesn't even bother to initiate retaliation. Battling over wax is fine, but 50 should make certain that he backs it up with something other than a collection of mindless and cacophonous crap. Fear factor can put "The Massacre" to use: whoever listens longest wins 25 grand. Twenty tracks are just exhausting.

Being able to teach him the - language and loyalty of the mob, he passes a part of himself to Donnie. ' Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) in "American History X " claims the number three spot. Having his father killed by a minority, he turns to hatred and racism. You'd think with his intelligence, he'd be smart enough not to. But having his own people turn on him in prison in the worst possible way, it broke him. The most dramatic events in his life changes the course of his thinking, as it does for us. Given the ending, you wonder if he'll stay the course or change his thinking yet again. My number two spot is occupied by two characters but the same actor. It is Kevin Spacey for Roger "Verbal" Kint in "The Usual Suspects" and John Doe in "Seven." Both characters are equally manipulative with a master plan so flawless that their egos aren't required to beat all odds. It's ironic to note that Verbal addresses "someone" as the devil and Doe addresses "someone" as God. The best of the best, the number one spot and the greatest villain of all time is none other than Hannibal Lector (Anthony Hopkins). Knowing he has a life sentence, why does he continue to help the police find another serial killer? He is so two-faced that sometimes we don't know which side we are seeing. He is a sophisticated gentleman who loves art and the symphony, but on the other hand, he eats people. And he only eats rude people, isn't that a contradiction? His mind has so many depths that a lifetime wouldn't be long enough to comprehend it. Those are my top five. Obviously for reasons of length, I could only explain five.

CA 9 2078 �A &E THE PRIDE T ry "Fever BY HEATHER HOFFMANN Pride Staff Writer Love and baseball are two of the most perfect things every created. When you combine the two you get a romantic comedy that's perfect for the summer. Ben (Jimmy Fallon) is involved in two relationships: one with his girlfriend Lindsey (Drew Barrymore), and the other with his favorite baseball team the Boston Red Socks. "Fever Pitch" is a movie about what happens when the two most important parts of Ben's life collide. Lindsey has dated all the wrong men. When she meets Ben she thinks her luck is changing. She thinks he's perfect. Then baseball season starts. Lindsey knew Ben was baseball fan, but she has no idea Ben is a Red Socks fanatic. A fan watches baseball; a fanatic lives it. To a Red Socks fanatic, Socks baseball is a passion, not just a sport. As the Red Socks inch closer to a world championship (this is a huge deal because they haven't done it in 86 years, thanks to the curse), Ben finds it very hard to balance time with his team and time with his girlfriend. When Ben and Lindsey's relationship starts to struggle they turn to their friends for help. Both Lindsey and Ben have a great group of friends. Lindsey's friends are trying to figure out what Ben's problem is, because they honestly don't believe any man could be so perfect. Ben's friends contribute to his baseball obsession. They are just as crazy as he is so they encourage him to put baseball first and he fails his Lindsey second. The friends are really a high- to deliver. Last year light in this movie because they are funny. They are brutally when the Red honest and give good advice. Socks were in the We all have friends like these process of winning the World friends. they Drew Barrymore is fantastic in Series filming this film. She's cute, funny, and were makes the perfect girlfriend— this movie, which is toward the end of the film you cool because they used want everything to work out for real baseball players, and her. She was also one of the pro- footage from actual games. This ducers. If you're a fan of hers, is a nice touch and adds an element of reality to the film. she will not disappoint you. Jimmy Fallon is good, but not Johnny Damon, the real life great. He's a little nerdy and awk- star of the Red Socks—and the ward. He was so funny on "Sat- favorite of many female baseball urday Night Live"—why can't he fans—has a lot of cameo's—hair be that funny in the movies? He and all. (What made him think has such potential, but in movies that was a good idea?) The only real flaw with the movie is the ending, it's a little rushed and predictable. Luckily the rest of the film is strong enough you can forgive them for having a weak ending. Red Socks fans will always remember 2004 because after 86 years of broken hearts they finally got a World Championship. This movie is a cute way to document that and maybe let non-baseball fans in on this special history. This is a cute romantic comedy; a chick flick that will appeal to men. Since love and baseball often spark passion between people, this is a winning combination for alove story. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
