Get to scboot early for parking
Tha strained relationship between the
campus and its police department has
widened over the past year. Since the
implementation of a task force to help
alleviate the problem, students, faculty
and staff have been waiting for a way to
help to bridge the gap.
The police have lined up a course
that will help the campus and their offi"We want to help our

cers work together as a team. Though
implemented prior to the incidents
leading up to the task force, the police
department wants to "reach out to the
community,'' said Lieutenant Douglass
Miller of Cal State San Marcos Police
Department.
The course, titled Citizen's Academy,
will be held over four days and offer several courses on police work. Every officer will teach a course in their area of
expertise. The classes will heip educate
the campus community on police procedures.
The courses include several hot
topics on campus, including what is a
hate crime. The purpose is to help the
campus understand what a hate crime
is, "there is some confusion," said
Miller. The goal is clear up any confusion Each course will offer a class,

Other courses include what it takes
to be a cop, terrorism awareness, crime
scene techniques, and narcotics recognition. The crime scene techniques
are expected to be a fun class with students learning how to lift fingerprints
and acquire D.N.A. samples. Specialty
classes like terrorism awareness and
D.N.A. will implement the use of outside expertise.
"We want to help our community
become partners in fighting crime on
campus," said Miller on why these
classes are essential for people to attend.
"We are looking for a diverse group of
people to make up the class," said Miller.
The class will hold up-to 30 people, and
they are hoping for members of faculty,
staff, and students.
The training will run from Oct. 25
until Nov. 15 and will include about
eight hours of training.
The campus police offer other training
throughout the year; including R.A.D.,

A greeting and an invitation from The Pride's new editor-in-chief
A letter from the editor is not
a common occurrence for The

a good time to introduce myself
as the new editor-in-chief. The
decision was made last school
year to combine the co-editors
positions into one giving me the
opportunity to give the readers
the best paper The Pride staff can
produce.
With the new semester starting,
the journalism class has no advisor hired and only three people on
staff trying to put this first paper,
so please be kind while critiquing it. I have my work cut out for
me building an almost entire new
staff of writers from scratch. Here
is where I would like to shamelessly plug the golden opportunities awaiting any lucky student
who would like to join the newspaper team and make history this
semester by writing gems for the
campus to read. With hard work,
late nights and little pay, your
name can be in print.

the team as an editor or writer,

�Cougars have a bright future ahead
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
With the passing of the athletic referendum
last semester, sports programs at Cal State
San Marcos have a bright future ahead of it.
With new increased funding supported by
the students, current programs will remain
and new teams will be formed to give Cougars a lot to cheer for.
We would really like to thank the students for passing the referendum," said Stephen Nichols, Cal Sate San Marcos' athletic
director.
This year, the Cougars will be returning
with men's and women's golf, cross country,

and track and field. With the new funding,
the new teams will include women's softball, men's baseball and men's and women's
soccer.
"Women's golf is looking good this year,"
said Nichols. Last semester ended well for
the Cougar teams, with the women's golf
team reaching the top five of the national
championship of NAIA.
Kenny Adams finished in third place at
the nationals for men's golf as a freshman.
Track and Field will see the return of top
ranking athlete Ann Marie Byrne and their
chance to win the championship.
The current sports are not deemed as
spectator sports but the new teams will give
a place for Cougars to go and cheer on their
teams. The new teams will be in the NAIA
league and will start as soon as fall 2006
beginning with soccer. In spring 2007, the
baseball and softball teams will be introduced.
"Currently we are looking for coaches,"
said Nichols. When they are hired, the
coaches will be introduced to Cal State San
Marcos in an open forum.
The soccer team will play track's center
field, while the plans are in thé works for the
home of the baseball and softball teams.
The intercollegiate sports are not the only
activities offered for students. The Associated Student Incorporated (ASI) offers
intramural sports, where students can sign
up on teams to play each other. In the „past
such sports as baseball and dodge ball have
been offered.

-Why thejoji
market sucks
An examination of a graduate's
search to find his or her place
in the world comes down to a
simple comparison of what education meant in the past and what
it means in today's job market.
When I graduated from college, I had eight years of work
experience with six of those years
as a manager. When I applied for
white-collar professional jobs, I
did not land them. When I applied
for blue-collar work, similar to
the work I had done before, I did
not get those jobs either. I was
in strange place for sure since I
could not reason out in my head
what I was lacking. Mixing my
age - 29 now, 27 when I began
my career search - and my experience as a supervisor/manager
in the blue-collar/service industry put me in the unique position of being both overeducated
and pver-experienced. That is a
hard little pill to swallow when
I thought I had done everything
right in terms of work and education.
The fact is this is not our parents' education; it is not our parents' world. Simply put there i s
no reward for your education in
terms of a career being handed to
you after graduation.
It seems to me that the argument
used to convince middle and high
school students to go to college
was the possibility of landing a
high-paying job as reward for your
commitment to education. That
argument is dead - post-graduation life is not about your reward, it
is about what you

can do for a prospective employer.
If, as in my case, you present yourself as a blue-collar worker with a
history degree, then there is not a
lot of appeal to employers on the
professional end of the work spectrum, at least the beginning.
That being said, there are no
regrets in pursuing higher education. Quite the contrary since I
plan to return for a M. A. in history
as soon as the program becomes
a reality at Cal State San Marcos
(remember the part about delaying the big student loan payback).
A history degree will take you in
strange directions as you work
on it - take it from me, nervous
breakdowns and strange realizations come fast and often when
undermining the foundations of
your knowledge. All that said, I
don't think I would have picked a
different major if the opportunity
was presented to me; it is worth
it now and I am sure it will be
worth it in the long run.
Holding the line
For me, the 18-month frenzy
ended when I landed a copy editing/page designer position with a
local newspaper, albeit only part
time. But the opportunity to be
on a staff working in newsroom
is its own reward - the newspaper industry is truly a foot-in-the
door line of work. • : •:

the search for full-time work. For
someone trying to break in the
business of news writing, freelancing is a good way to pad your
portfolio along with getting some
money for your work as well. The
downside to freelancing is it is
hard to make a living at it especially in San Diego County.
Another help, from what I hear,
are internships. Although I never
did an internship, I know of one
former Pride staffer who landed

Heath Ledger (left) and Matt Damon (right) played the roles of brothers Jake and Will Grimm.
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Terry Gilliam returns to the director's chair
since "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" to
guide Matt Damon and Heath Ledger as "The
Brothers Grimm." Even with some classic Gilliamfisheye camera shots and obscure characters, the story falls short of good.
"The Brothers Grimm" brings to life the
famous brothers who wrote classic fairytales
in the early 20th century. The movie portrays
the two in a newfictitiousstory as two con-artists meandering from town to town in French

" American
occupied Germany, excising fabricated ghosts,
witches, and demons. When called upon by the
French government, the brothers are forced
to deal with an actual enchanted forest and
curse.
The plot cleverly alludes to some of their
most famous fairytales, including "Little Red
Riding Hood," "Rapunzel," "Cinderella" and
"Hansel and Gretel."
The trouble with the plot is its inability to
combine them into a good plot. The writing
seems choppy and the dialogue forced. Even
Gilliam has trouble creating the illusion that
Damon is a good actor. I felt as if I was watching Matt Damon's doppelganger from "Team
America: World Policy."
Positive elements do occur in "The Brothers Grimm," including the special effects. The
introduction of fairytale characters comes at
a price. Gilliam is well known for going over
budget for his movies, and it appears he spent
the movie on great computer graphics. The set
design was excellent and has always been an
intriguing element of Gilliam's work.
Overall, the movie feels like small skits of
bad acting combined to make a movie. The
story is stuck somewhere in space never finding
a home in the region of comedy, action, or even
horror. Some scenes left me confused whether
to jump or laugh. This misdirection adds some
confusion to the plot and who the movie is
geared for. The combination of classic figures
in literature is not new either. Recently it was
tried in "League or Extraordinary Gentlemen"
and "Van Helsing." It was a nice attempt but
not worthy of the silver screen.

Fundraisers on campus to help Katrina victims
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Special to The Pride
A memorial service will be held
on Sept. 10 for Dr. Kevin Igasaki,
the late director of the Cal State
San Marcos Language Learning
Center. The memorial will be held
at the University of San Diego.
Igasaki passed away on the
night of Aug. 10, 2005, in San
Diego County. Igasaki is survived by his wife Cahterinie Bellier-Igasaki and his two children.
Igasaki first came to Cal State
San Marcos in 1996; when he
transferred here from CSU Long
Beach. Igasaki began as a technician in the Language Lab, but
worked very hard and became the
director of the Language Learning Center and campus foreign
language proficiency assessor.
According to a recent campuswide email from the Communications Office, Patricica E. Worden,
interim vice president of Student
Affairs said: "Kevin was a true
leader on campus. ... To faculty,
staff and administrators, Kevin
was a highly respected colleague.
He was an innovative thinker;
considered a valuable member on
campus committees because of his
ability to see the 'big picture.'"
Igasaki served on several
campus committees, including

Katrina's devastating results left many
news viewers with feelings of hopelessness in their ability to help the victims. In
efforts to help Cougars do their part, ASI
is spearheading events toofinanciallyhelp
the displaced survivors through fundraising for The Red Cross.
"The Red Cross response to Hurricane
Katrina is the largest response to a single,
natural disaster in the 125-year history of
the organization," stated the American Red
Cross website.
According to the CNN website on Saturday Sept. 3, 2005, there were, "30,000
evacuees who have been stranded there
for days amid mounds of trash and human
waste." Since the hurricane hit thè Gulf

Crittenden was on campus Sept. 1 as

"Discover the Will to Survive," Crittenden
shared lessons learned from overcoming

between surviving college and surviving

"I made some really good friends when I

challenge" or waking up to an alarm early
and getting a good parking spot.

In the summer after his seventh year of

it was just a cyst. After a while, he got it

To the uninitiated or unobservant student, this may come as a shock:
The library is new.
Again.
Originallyfinishedin Jan. 2004, the Kellogg Library replaced facilities occupying
only a portion of Craven Hall. But in addition to providing more computers to initially kill time and subsequently save the
last minute, Kellogg Library has recently
extended its hours. This came as a result
of student and faculty input, so don't hesitate to share your comments and concerns
with the staff.
Melanie Chu, Outreach/Multicultural
Librarian, even took the time to talk with
Pride about other helpful additions fo the
Library.

The desk, to the right of the main doors
of the third (Starbucks) floor, is hard to
miss, but even closer to this entrance
is something maybe too close under an

Optimism/
Viewing the world from two different perspectives
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
BY MELISSA BLAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Do you see the glass as half empty or half
full? Although it's become a cliché expression, this question contains a lot of truth
when it comes to the idea of being optimistic - an idea that can be successfully put
into practice with the start of anew semester at CSUSM.
As a recovering pessimist, I know what
it is to doubt everything; and even enjoy
doing it, but optimism holds so much more
success for those who master it. Just look
at the famous athletes who have used their
optimism to help them excel. Where would
Lance Armstrong be if he hadn't been optimistic and fought his way back from lifethreatening cancer to win multiple consecutive Tour-De-France titles?
Here at CSUSM, there are numerous ways
you can turn a pessimistic perspective into
an optimistic one and have similar success
in your life - albeit on a much smaller scale.
To some people optimism obviously comes
easily (the type of people you either love or
hate) yet for the rest of us being optimistic
takes a little practice. Simply be patient, take
time doing your daily tasks so you can stand
back and look at the positive side of things and
thus work toward them.
For example, instead of complaining about
having to climb the million plus steps at San
Marcos between classes, think about all the
exercise you'll get wandering across CSUSM in
the late summer sun.
When stuck in a class you don't like and didn't
want to take, instead of being a pessimist about it,
be optimistic about the class and watch your interest and success surrounding the class grow.
Simply looking at things in a different perspective
can make all the difference in the world: don't every
let yourself believe that you are going to fail, instead
believe that nothing can stop you from meeting your
goals and succeeding. Start your new semester at
CSUSM as an optimist instead of a pessimist and
watch success follow you wherever you go.
Arguing for pessimism is like arguing for infidelity or gluttony or indecent exposure. The alternatives
of each seem so much more respectable that society
fails to consider the allure of deviating from what is
considered 'good' behavior.
Pessimism is just another defense mechanism.
Some people drown a bad day with alcohol; Some
go to movies to watch other people live life instead of
living their own. The pessimist simply expects every
day to be bad, making the bad easier to bear when it
comes.
It is easier to deal with death if the deceased is ill for
a long time beforehand. It's easier because the death
is expected. Pessimism is like an illness. It prepares
you for the worst possible scenario. The pessimist is not
taken aback by tragedy. Rather, he waits for it with calm
certainty because it is inevitable.
When a healthy person is suddenly flattened by a car
while crossing the street, enjoying nature, the death is
much harder to deal with. It is harder because the tragedy
is unexpected. Optimism is like health. You feel well so
you forget it is a transient feeling. Then when something
unfortunate happens, it is horribly shocking.
Schopenhauer said if we compared the pleasure felt by
one animal eating another to the pain felt by the animal
being eaten, we would see that pain completely outweighed
pleasure in life. He used this analogy to defend pessimism
as most logical.
Hemingway was a pessimist. He tried to end his life many
times, one of which involved an attempt to run into cycling jet
propellers. Sylvia Plath felt life wasn't worth waking up for
and stuck her head into an oven. Virginia Woolf piled rocks
into her pocket and drowned herself in a lake, deciding no experiences in life were as exciting as the experience of death.
The trend is that hopelessly depressed attitudes breed great literature. Without the author's dreary outlook, a lot of books would *
not have achieved their depth and success.
Of course, cheery, positive attitudes breed literature'too. They
breed Doctor Phil's advice books and teenage magazines. If false
hope and shallow happiness are what you want, then hurray for optimism.
We are told it is best to see the glass as half full. But when it's
viewed as half empty, it seems there is less to knock over and spill on
your crotch.
Nihilism protects you from disappointment. Idealism sets you up for it.

E ditorial f rom the e ditor-in-chief
The past week has proven
tougher than the first. With
classes started, I found myself
compoundedwithbothhomework
and these new editor responsibilities. I do not know how the previous editors did it.
Looking back at the first issue,
I realize many mistakes. I will
let you spot them if you still
have a copy rather than embar-
rass myself with the long detailed
list, and I am working on fixing
repetitive mistake for the future
(tip's).
I will still count on readers to
bring forth problems, ideas or
concerns they may have, not only
about the newspaper but also of
the school. I was looking forward
to posting letters to the editor
in the paper this week, alas I
received none. I have heard many
verbal remarks made about the
first issue, mostly good. Many
cougars where surprised to find
out that we put out an issue on
the first week and congratulated
us on a job well done, still no letters. I heard one remark about
the staff being Gestapo, but that
person still did not write it down
for us to print.
The great usefulness of letters
to the editor is the impact it has
on the writers and content of the
paper. Granted we have had suggestions that we do not follow
MLA, we follow AP. Another
concern was our lack of covering off campus news stories. We
try not to compete with the large
newspapers, even though they
now have stands here on campus.
Our goal is to write about this
campus. Stories will contain elements that link it back to Cal
State San Marcos.
With this open request hotline,
students, staff and faculty can
give their input to the building of
this great media.

Entertaiment in the Clarke Fieldhouse
BY JASON HOBBS
Pride Staff Writer
It was recently said to me that
there were no places on Cal State
San Marcos' campus to host a
small concert or a boxing match
within closed walls. After a little
investigation I found several
adequate venues for both small
concerts and for boxing matches.
The Clarke Field House for
instance would be fine to host a
series of small concerts featuring unsigned and/or local musicians. It may even fit a boxing
match. The new study center at
the top of the library would fit
both a boxing match and a small
concert as well. I don't know that
that would be allowed, but it's a
possibility.
After visiting Casino Night at
two different times (6:30pm and
8:15pm), I became concerned that
our student body was not interested in the events the campus has
to offer. Although I did not attend
the entire Casino Night event, the
two times I dropped by, I saw
the same amount of people at the
game tables; what seemed to be
about 25 people (not including
the dealers or the volunteers).
Perhaps instead of assuming
what the student body wants or
needs as far as fun and entertainment on campus, there
should be a vote determined by
a simple majority rule for a variety of events ASI organizes. Perhaps then there would be bigger
crowds than the approximate 25
people that showed up to Casino
Night and the approximate 40
people that showed up to "College Survivor Night" where a
celebrity from one of the most
popular television shows of all
time was speaking.
There could be a variety of reasons why the first two events of
the semester weren't very popular. One may be that the ASI
Calendar of Events hand-out
listed Casino Night beginning
at 6pm and another schedule of
events posted by the ASI offices
listed the event time as beginning
at 8pm. It's quite possible that
newer students like myself, did
not know the difference (if any)
between the Grand Salon and the
Clarke Field House either. Casino
Night took place at the Clarke
Field House but again there was
a difference between the big
orange calendar of events posted
by the ASI offices and the small
yellow hand-outs. One read that
Casino Night would take place
at the Grand Salon and the other
read that Casino Night would take
place at the Clarke Field House.
Unfortunately of the two potential venues for the night, only the
Clarke Field House is listed on
the big maps found throughout
campus.
Perhaps not all of the students
will enjoy live concerts on Friday
or Saturday nights. Perhaps not
all students will enjoy a live
boxing event on campus either.
But so far it seems that only
about 70 students have enjoyed
(or at least attended) the first two
campus events of the semester,
and with that short track record
it might be worthwhile to the
students to try some new ideas
before it's too late.

Top f ive back to school must haves
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
It's that time of year again; time
to pack up all your stuff and head
back to school. Unfortunately
summer is ending, fortunately
for us; the season to by back to
school gear never ends. This is it,
the top 5 list of must haves for the
new school year.
1. ¡Book - Apples new line of
personal notebooks. The New
iBook is stronger, faster, and more
capable than ever. With built in
wireless Internet, and Bluetooth
technology, these notebooks can
pack a wallop in or outside of the
classroom. Read along with the
class as you look up the teacher's
notes online wirelessly, or just
kick back and work with many
of the functions available on one
of the best consumer laptops
around. Either way, there will be
no regrets with the purchase of
this machine.
2. Cougar Cards - Ever found
yourself strapped for cash, but in
dire need of a quick snack, scantron, or some lunch in between
classes? If so, grab a Cougar
Card, you can purchase them
anywhere and save them for
whenever they are needed. They
are usable in the dome, and other
various places around campus.
Just select the amount of money
you want on the card, and they
will do it for you. The Cougar
Card is a gift card for students,
not exactly the gift that keeps on
giving, but it does its job well.
3. iPod - This already popular
Mp3 player is a great way to kick
back and listen to your favorite
tunes in between classes, or just
waltzing around the dorm room.
With a size of 20 or 60 gigabytes
it is the perfect addition for the
somewhat musically challenged
and all the way up to the maestro
of music.
4. Treo 650 Smart phone
- This is a new one for a lot of
people. A sophisticated blend of
phone and function if you will.
The Treo 650 Smart phone combines a handheld PDA with all
the applications of today's top
cell phone. Be it for calling home,
or organizing your class schedules with due dates, and assignment notes, everything is at your
fingertips willing and waiting for
you to push the limits of technology.
5. Sony CD Dream Machine
- Last but not least, is an alarm
clock. The Dream Machine not
only saves you from being late
for class, but also plays your
favorite music with it's built in
CD player, all of which is personally programmable to adjust
to your schedule. Adding some
tunes to the morning routine
can even help boost your eagerness for class...at least for some
people.
Short and sweet, but defiantly
essential, all of these things can
help you to achieve the goals of
academia, but also blow off some
steam and help yourself recooperate over the weekends. It's always
a plus having technology on your
side, and with these top five gadgets you can't go wrong.

Local band, Stranger, plays at House of Blues San Diego
Stranger stole the show with one of the
most phenomenal live performances I've
ever seen/heard. Stranger's energy was
certainly unsurpassed by all the other
bands that shared the stage with them on
Aug. 28,2005, at the new House of Blues
(HOB) in San Diego, CA.
It was a surprise after watching all
of the bands perform that night that
Stranger was the opening act. With the
amount of fans they had there before the
show even began, it seems apparent that
they could headline their own show at
San Diego's HOB.
Stranger opened the show with a
mostly instrumental, but very melodic
song, and then thanked the ecstatic
crowd for coming out to enjoy the show,
just before beginning a non-stop 40 minutes of energetic and powerful music.
Stranger performed a medley of what

seemed to be about 10 full songs. Every
song transitioned into the next in such a
fluid manner that there was no notice of
any errors or delays.
The final song of the medley featured nearly an entire disbandment and
reemergence of the band, bound together
by the steady beat of the drummer. After
the band reemergence, and the end of
the medley, the lead singer thanked the
very enthusiastic audience one more
time for coming out to the show to enjoy
their music and received a very warm
and almost overwhelmingly energetic
response from the audience. Then it was
announced by the lead singer that they
would do one more song.
Stranger ended the show with a brand
new song that had the creativity and style
that had me humming the song during
the intermission. After Stranger's set,
the crowd finally began to move over to
the bar and the bathroom. Although San
Diego's HOB is not that big and no matter
where you stood (even in the bathroom)
you could hear the music, no one seemed
to want to stop watching Stranger's energetic set.
The show was not over after Stranger's
set, but you might not have known that if
you were standing outside watching all
of the people leave.

Death Cab For
Cutie reveals
their "Plans"
BY BRIAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
On Tuesday August 30, Death Cab For
Cutie unleashed their long awaited followup to "Transatlanticism." Pushing the band
into a new direction of mixed genres and
collaborative thinking, "Plans" envelops
the reflective stylings of bands such as The
Album Leaf, and the late Elliott Smith.
Death Cab for Cutie strongly utilizes the
technique of slow, strung out piano with
the soft and elegant notes of an acoustic
guitar, adding to the CD's overall aura.
The first single off the CD "Soul Meets
Body" brings back the feeling of "The
Photo Album" LP, and softens it, giving
listeners a feel for the band's progression
into a new sound.
Almost taking a page from Elliott
Smith's own figurative songbook is "I will
follow you into the dark." With their own
spin put into the song, Ben Gibbard quietly
serenades us on a journey of love, filled
with the unexpected twists and turns along
the way. Gibbard sings "If Heaven and
Hell decide that they both are satisfied, and
illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs,
Photo courtesy ofwww.deathcabforcutie.com
if there's no one beside you, when your
soul embarks, then I will follow you into
the dark." A simplistic yet morbid chorus
makes the song powerful, yet serine at the
same time.
Produced by guitarist Chris Walla,
"Plans" really makes its mark with the song
. "Brother's on a Hotel Bed." The beginning
of the song is especially like The Album
Leaf, but when Gibbard's voice projects
over the front of the piano, and acoustic
drum set, we are reminded that "Plans" is
defiantly something new.
Ifyou are interested in anything remotely
good these days, you will defiantly need to
check out this CD. It pulls together and
intertwines some of Gibbard's most pressing issues, relating them in a way that only
Death Cab for Cutie can bring us. Look for
them on tour this fall, and for more information you can visit www.deathcabforcutie.com.

The death of students
and faculty is felt
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
With the loss of two students and a faculty
member in recent months many students
can use counseling services on campus.
Gilbert Rojas, a Cal State San Marcos
student, passed away after a fatal fall on
Aug. 30. In an article by the Union-Tribune
published Aug. 3, "[Rojas] was expected to
graduate in December."
Carolyn Neville, a transfer student from
Palomar, was murdered in her home in

Cal State San Marcos University plans
to open a new business building in the
spring of2006 with hopes of being able to
grow bigger and to be better as a school.
As soon as the building passes the Fire
Marshall Code it will be up and running
with the latest advances in school technology.
Cal State San Marcos' Associate
Director/Campus Architecture, Diane
Malone has been working on the business
building from the beginning. Malone
said, "This has been an on going project
that started back in 1999." Malone also
went on to talk about how the business
building was a product of the governor's
economic stimulus package of 2002.
This meant that the building was a state
funded project designed to stimulate the
states economic condition by bringing
more jobs, students and money to Cali-
I encourage everybody to take time and

The term Hispanic, as defined by the U.S.
Census Bureau, refers to Spanish-speaking people in the United States of any race.

United States as of July 1,2003 is 39.9 million making people of Hispanic origin the
nation's largest ethnic minority. Hispanics

National Hispanic Heritage
Month began in 1968 when
Congress deemed it to celebrate the contributions and
achievements of the diverse
cultures within the Hispanic
community. It originally
started as one short week from
Sept.15 and 16. The dates were
chosen to commemorate two
key historic events: Mexican
Independence Day, and the
signing act of Independence
for Costa Rica, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, and
Nicaragua. On Aug. 17, 1988,
the week long festivities were
extended into a month when
Congress approved the decision to do so. Now there are 31
days to celebrate diverse Latin
cultures, and one full day of
spirited activities at Cai State
San Marcos.

a cost of $20 million. The business building will be a total of
80,000 square feet. Cal State San

that, "1,311 classroom seats as
well as 90 Faculty offices will

Citizens in every community continue to rise to the task
of counteracting the rising
costs of Hurricane Katrina,
and CSUSM is no different.
Resident fraternity TKE has
already managed to collect
over $2,000 in relief funds,
and the number is still growing.
"We organized a carwash,
but most of the money is
coming from direct donations
of Alumni and those with
family in Louisiana," said
Adrian Segalla of TKE.
"We're hoping to get the
entire Greek community into
organizing larger fundraising
events." Apparently people
have been more than willing to help out anyone who
asks, and anyone interested in
helping out, whether by donation of funds, goods, or time,
can contact Adrian Segalla at

ity to seat 120 students.
The auditorium classroom has
a Distance Conference capability which allows guest speakers an ability to lecture students
without ever having to step foot
in California. The new building
will also offer two new computer
labs. The computer labs feature
retractable computers, where
accessing a computer means the
computer will elevate out of the
desk for use and folds back up
inside the desk.
So many new renditions to Cal
State San Marcos' campus will
come with the opening of the

Tuesday; September 13, 2005
Jason Williams
BY JASON HOBBS
Pride Staff Writer
How do you define success?
Quite possibly a different way
than I do, but I'm going to go
ahead and try to explain why
Jason "Elm St." Williams is a success, and how he's just begun.
Williams is a senior at Cal State
San Marcos and will be graduating in the spring of2006 with his
Bachelors degree in Communications, and a minor in Sociology.
Not only does Williams already
have plans for himself after college, he began his career a long
time ago.
At 23 years old, Williams has
already sold approximately 3,000
of his professionally pressed CD
entitled "Tha Hurdlez" and several hundred mix-tapes.
Williams is currently preparing
to hit the studio sometime next
year and is planning on releasing two or three mix-tapes before
summer 2006 to help promote his
upcoming CD which should be
released during the summer of
2006.
Williams says he is already
looking for a reggae/rock/skafusion band to back him on a few
tracks and is "going for a different
sound and growing musically."
Williams overcomes adversities everyday. Like many others,
he does homework and attends
classes. But unlike many others,
Williams is currently in the midst
of potentially problematic legal
issues* and still finds time to sell
his CD and promote himself so
that he can further his career as a
musician and entertainer. "If you
believe in yourself, don't give
up!" said Williams.
"I'm going to pursue life;
pursue my destiny." says Williams.
After college, Williams is
going to pursue his music career
as Elm St. and plans on being a
substitute teacher part-time as
Jason Williams.
As far as Williams sees it, he
speaks the truth, but acknowledges that he does not know
everything. He wants to learn and
grow to become a better person.
As Elm St., Williams hopes to
inspire with his lyrics and hopes
to teach the world something
different through his music, "It
seems in this race of life, no man
is winning, because death isn't an
ending, it is truly the beginning
of living. A way for all human
kind to start winning.",
As a philosopher, Williams
hopes to inspire as well explaining, "People think that only one
man can change the world, but
everyone can help change the
world."
Williams aims high, he has
apparently turned down a record
deal in the six figure range, and
he's not going to sign until he
gets a seven figure deal offer.
But it's not just about the signing
bonus, Williams says, "It's really
Image courtesy of Jason Williams
about the right business deal.
The music industry will get you
famous before it gets you rich.
I'm not going to go multi-plati-
num and be broke."
Williams is readily available to
discuss how to purchase his CD
for only $10.

The Dome Café, located on
the bottom floor of the Commons
Building, is newly refurbished
and is ready to serve.
The Dome Café received money
over the summer for the purpose
of renovation and revitalization.
Christopher Wood, food service
manager, took the opportunity to
make some changes he thought
would appeal to students, staff
and faculty. In the end, Wood
refurbished the whole look of the
Dome café by adding different
themes and styles.
With the new themes and
menu items, students have many
choices. DW, the salad bar, has
a new look while offering'fresh
vegetables, dressings^ and toppings for a fresh green salad.
Another choice is The Grill.
The Grill displays an industrial
stainless steel theme with firedup grills ready to cook food as
it's ordered. At The Grill cougars may order hamburgers, tuna
melts, grill cheese sandwiches,
and BLT's.
"The Pizza wall color, which is
painted Crimson red, Sub Shop
wall color, is white and Tacos and
Burritos wall is colored green all
together represent the Mexican
flag and Italian flag. I thought
that would be a neat touch," said

BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
SWIM INSTRUCTORS!!!
Well, sports fans I am back.
Wow, things sure have changed
since I have been gone. As you
might remember I left The Pride
and my sports column because of
a lack of time and because I didn't
like the direction the paper was
going. None of us figured that the
sports section would disappear if
I left. Granted, the editors tried
to find a replacement for me but
after two articles that experiment
was done and so was the sports
section.
Apparently I had the foresight
to see things were going to get
ugly. An embarrassing timeline
of events didn't exactly put the
paper in the best light, such as the
paper getting into an argument
with athletic director Dr. Stephen
Nichols. Also, having the University find out that one of the editor's in chief was trying to push
her own agenda wasn't exactly a
good thing.
All of that is in the past now and
I am looking forward to working
with the new editor in chief, Patrick B. Long and the new advisor Dr. Anthony Hurst. Having
an editor in chief who actually
wants to have a sports section
makes me believe that there will
be great improvement in this section over the semester. Having
one person take over the role that
has been filled by tjyo people for
F REE

quite some time will be a bit of a
change, but one that I think will
benefit everyone. Dr. Hurst is the
new advisor for the paper and he
will have some big shoes to fill
as he replaces Jenifer Woodring,
who was regarded highly by
many on the staff. However, if
anyone can fill the position, I am
sure Dr. Hurst can. It also doesn't
hurt him in my book that he is a
big sports fan.
In past semesters, for those
of you that are new to CSUSM,
I gave my opinion on various
occurrences in national and
local professional sports. I also
reviewed sports movies, books,
and TV shows. I will still discuss national topics but expect
some articles thrown in every
now and then regarding campus
athletics. With the passing of the
new athletic fee there will be a
huge development in the athletic
F IVE
department over the next couple
of years and that deserves more
coverage from this newspaper
and from me.
Now this is where you readers are crucial. The two previous
semesters that I did this column
there were very few of you that
actually gave me feedback on
what you wanted to read about. It
really wasn't until I left the paper
that I realized so many people
actually read this column. I figured this was just a space filler
so I wrote a lot of my previous
articles for me and what I thought
was newsworthy. I want things to
change so if you think something
is important don't hesitate to Email me at sando026@csusm.
edu. When you see me around
campus don't be afraid to stop me
and tell me your opinion. I may
look scary but I won't bite.

BYCHEZARE MILO
Special to The Pride
CSUSM senior Jason Williams has been
cleared of all charges resulting from his
Oct. 20,2004 arrest on campus. Williams
said he was improperly stopped, searched,
and subsequently arrested by Cal State
San Marcos Police due to his race. The
arrest sparked open forums, protests and
a formal university inquiry in the form of
The Task force on Campus Policing.
"I feel that justice was not served, but
justice prevailed," said Williams of Judge
Runston G. Maino's Sept. 15 decision to
dismiss all charges.
Judge Runston dismissed the case citing

Rush Week invites

BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
The Greek community will be opening its doors to potential members Sept.
19 through 26, as our one fraternity and
two sorority chapters hold events on
campus and around San Marcos to promote Rush Week. In addition, Tau Kappa
Epsilon, a fraternity no longer recognized
by CSUSM, is also inviting new members
into their organization through participation in off-campus events.
Each of the chapters' members have
similar ways of emphasizing why they
feel it important for students to become
involved.
"Potential new members can gain leadership skills along with character building
experiences" commented Rachel Wann,

Renovation to focus on office space and organization
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
With the completion of the Markstein
Hall, formerly known as the Business
Building, construction at CSUSM will
shift elsewhere.
A number of projects are scheduled to
be underway as of early 2006, including
additional parking spaces and the construction of a licensed day-care center
for children up to age five. Yet the most
anticipated project to begin with the New
Year will be the renovation of the 1, 3,
and 4floorsof Craven Hall. Plans for the
renovation have been in the works for a
number of years, with the money for it
being allotted from Proposition 55, which
provided finances for the renovation and
improvement of schools statewide.
Among the improvements being
planned with the renovation is the creation of a "one-stop shop" in the old
library where students can register, pay

Voter
registration
BY TRACEY M. TURNER
Pride Staff Writer
Members of Lobby Corps, a committee of ASI, will conduct a voter registration drive on campus. Registration
will be held at least two days a week
leading up to the Nov. 8 elections. The
goal is to increase student voting.
Members of the committee have also
planned two debates over the propositions and ordered voter information
guides, for non-partisan educational
materials from the Secretary of State.
Committee members have set a tentative goal of registering 750 students
to vote and will be out on campus every
week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to
reach the goal, which is "a match of
last years total," said Joe Wager, Public
Relations Director for Lobby Corps.
Wager and two other committee members attended specialized voter registration training "to learn effective ways
of reaching voters." According to ASI,
Lobby Corps works on behalf of CSU
students to "communicate student relevant legislation [...] and to aid in political forums, voter registration and publicity mechanisms on campus."
Volunteers are welcome, as they
hope to expand the voter registration
program to more days per week. Call
(760) 750-6001.
Among recent turbulence in
Supreme Court and discussion
of the Equal Rights Amendment, ASI will present two
on-campus events this week
discussing the Constitution.
The events are a part of a
new CSU Constitution education program requirement
and also to commemorate this
past weekend's National Constitution Day (Sept. 17).
According to Cheyenne
Barr, CSUSM Director of
Women's Issues for the ASI
Programming Board and CoCoordinator of the ASI Women's Center, many parties colN
laborated on this effort and
"came together to discuss how
we [as a school] could put on
events to publicize the Constitution."

he was "stripped" of his chances
of winning a hurdling title.
Williams said he harbors no
ill feelings towards the officers
involved in his stop and subséquent arrest.
"I feel sad for them, I pray for
them, and I forgive them," Williams said of the four officers
adding, "I'll never forget what
they did, but I forgive them."
When asked if the police
department was going to offer
an official apology to Williams,
Woodard said no.
Woodard added he would like
the campus community to know,
"Were going to continue what
we've always done, this case was
an aberration that had little if
anything to do with the conduct
of officers in this department."
Williams says he plans to,
"focus on school, graduate, and
sign with a record label."
"Its time for people to start
questioning," said Williams
adding, "Racism is still alive in
America."
When asked about the implementation of recommendations
for change within the police
department
Woodard
said,
"We're going to improve communications with the community we
serve, and we have a lot of that in
place already. You're going t o see
more of us, not more in numbers,
but see us more often, and we're
going to start programs like the
citizen academy, to have people
come over and see what we do."

�CONSTRUCTION, from page 1
The influence of worried citizens concerned over the destruction of scenic landscape within
the San Marcos helped enact the
Ridgeline Protection Ordinance,
limiting construction on ridgelines throughout the city. Twelve
ridges have been identified as
being scenically important for
preservation, including those
visible along Twin Oaks Valley
Road and towering above Cal
State San Marcos. Under the ordinance developers will be limited
to certain types of architecture
and design that blends in with the
surrounding natural landscape,
as well as being denied the right
to build multistory structures.
Building projects also have to be
built significantly below visible
ridgelines, with future projects
barred from within 100 feet of
guarded ridges.
Among those projects under
way to preserve the scenic views
around San Marcos is a proposed
recreational park, to be established not far from Cal State San
Marcos. The proposed park would
encompass Discovery Lake with
nearby South Lake, linking the
two currently undeveloped areas
by way of a 100-acre park. With
development set to begin in the
next five years, the park would
ultimately be comprised of literally miles and miles of trails
flanked by natural coastal chaparral and picnic areas. Some of
San Marcos' most scenic ridges
will also be included in the project.
Cal State San Marcos has yet to
be contacted by those in charge
of the Ridgeline Protection Ordi-
CRAVEN, from page 1
for classes, and obtain information all in one location. Easier
access through Craven Hall and
an improved courtyard are all
on the agenda for this renovation.
"It's going to be kind of messy
f or a while," said Bradly Fenton,
the chief architect of the renovation, "but it should go quickly."
Students may find many of the
offices they were familiar with
in Craven Hall elsewhere during
spring and fall of 2006, but the

nance, according to Decker, who
notes that CSUSM "hasn't had to
change any plans."
Still, Pecker's organization
has an interest in preserving the
scenery around the campus. For
example, the NCTD was denied
permission by Cal State San
Marcos to build a 30-foot tower
on one of the peaks near campus
since it would be an eyesore.
Looking to the future, Decker
says that at the moment there is
an intention to put trails leading
from the campus to the tops of
nearby peaks.
"It would be great if they
were integrated," said Decker
of the speculative future trails
at Cai State San Marcos and the
trail system being developed
between Discovery Lake and
South Lake.
When finished, CSUSM will
encompass over 300 acres of land
with enrollments in the vicinity
of 25,000 students. Such growth
will continue to bring the campus
into association with local projects in San Marcos.
improvements are intended to
outweigh such inconveniences.
Although the main renovations
will be focused on the offi<^
space and organization of Craven
Hall, Fenton says that the interior
in general will also be upgraded
and will be comparable to the
inside of the new Library.
Plans for the renovation of
began back in 1998 but it takes "at
least 4 years [to obtain] funds,"
said Fenton. The Craven Hall
project is set to begin in March
2006 and last through October of
that year.

New flag shows school pride
BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
While new and returning students wandered about, getting
acquainted and reacquainted,
they might yet have missed a new
addition. A new blue and white
flag completes the high flying
trinity in the lower circle, of Kellogg Library and Craven Hall.
Rick Moore, director of communications, and Annie Courtney,
a resource analyst for CSUSM,
both took time out to talk with the
Pride about this new addition to
our campus.
When asked how the decision
was made to put the flag up this
semester, Moore explained, "We
had been asked repeatedly by student leaders why there was no
flag... [We] always felt it would be
good to have aflagbut there were
blocks... funding, responsibility
and maintenance. Spring last year
we had the funds."
Some of you may be wonder,
why the cougar, our mascot,
does no appear on the flag. As
Moore explained, "There was
only one design. The cougar is a
'spirit mark', not the University's
symbol."
The new flag consists only of
the familiar campus and mountains icon and, as Annie Courtney commented, "Displays our
[the university] identity beautifully."
According to Courtney, six flags
were ordered at the cost of $284 a
piece (plus shipping), however,
the company accidentally produced seven flags and allowed us
to purchase the seventh at a discount of $150. The funds for the
flags came from university funds
and an ASI donation of $1,000.
As it's currently planned, the
university police will maintain the
presence of the flags. Although
theflagshave the potential to last
up to six months in good weather,
the idea is to replace it every
semester, but there are no known
plans to update the image.

"In the past there has been a

for all of the organizations on

Intramural sports are athletic teams within the university which are given a chance
to compete amongst one
another. Roommates, friends,
and students of all skill level
are able to join together on
teams of seven.
All intramural teams are
coed, including flag football
which begins on September
23. At least one female must
participate on each team.
Touchdowns are even worth
double if scored by a female.
Even though the season starts
next week, it is not too late to
organize a team.
There are various intramural sports to play, if flag football does not interest you.
Ping-pong, sand volleyball, and dodgeball are up
and coming sports that the
CSUSM athletic department
has in store for students.
To sign up for an intramural
sport you can either organize a
team orflysolo as a free agent
and be assigned a team.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I'd like to start out by
saying that the most recent
issue of The Pride was
better than the first two
of this semester. I found
myself very intrigued by
most articles and the movie
review; however, I found the
letter to the editor written by
Erika Callahan to be utterly
disatisfying. Once again,
we have people complaining
abdut less important issues
in this world. I mean, come
on, the city of New Orleans
is now a giant swimming
pool and millions are dead
but all you can think to
complain about is how your
veggie burgers are grilled?
Get a CLUE! The majority
of the school's population
I can bet are NOT vegetarians and that is why they
sell hamburgers and meat of
all kinds. It's quick, simple,
and CHEAP. We must not
forget about the cost here.
Maybe the Grill doesn't use
the "left side of the grill"
because it saves on gas
and electric or because that
would take longer to clean
(meaning paying for more
labor hours). Obviously the
school can't have a selecton
of organic food due to cost
as well unless of course we
want to add ANOTHER
fee to our tuition so now
the vegans can be happy!
You say, for now you will
be "brown-bagging it", well
maybe you should just continue with that. Save your
money, for more important
things like the supply of non
withered lettuce and organic
tomatoes that you keep in
YOUR refrigirator. If all you
can find to complain about
is the non vegan friendly
food at our school, then I
say CSUSM is doing pretty
well for it self. Try worrying
about more important issues
like the millions displaced
in New Orleans who would
love to endulge in those nice
fatty grilled hamburgers
that are served in the Dome.
Just think, you have SOME
choices (as you pointed out)
and true, I wouldn't want to
eat the same thing over and
over again everyday, but
just think of the poor kids
in New Orleans who haven't
eaten for five days. No one
is forcing you to eat at the
Dome so stop complaining
about the inevitable and get
on with your life!

�Belonging Students catch parking fee flu
to Myspace But give food for thought
From a student to The Pride
Myspace;
A
Place
for
"Friends"
For those of you living under the proverbial rock,
a new addition the occult has assembled right
under our noses. They meet nightly, sometimes
hourly, coining senseless acronyms, circulating
poorly written blogs, and otherwise gathering to
commit acts of intellectual debauchery, all the
while recruiting new members to join the fold.
Their numbers can now be estimated in the millions, having sects in cities across the united
states, and preying upon the innocent minds
of our misguided youth. Led by a man who is
known only as Tom, this group of miscreants has
unleashed a new wave of virtual camaraderie,
that encourages the humblest teen to take on the
most base and self-indulgent online persona they
can muster, wrapping the pages of their personal
profiles around them like a cloak Joseph himself
would envy. Fiction you say? No, it's Myspace.
Rather than go through the formidable task of
live social interaction, you too can maintain virtual relationships with virtual friends. A byproduct of the technological age, virtual friendmaking is a new development, which began with
other activities traditionally reserved for reality, such as shopping, reading, dating, and card
playing. A1 Gore must hug himself with glee.
A self-described "Place for Friends," the website is a simple, albeit addicting online meeting
place, where users create and maintain their own
personal profiles, complete with photos, personal
information, music, and more. Bands have pages
too, as do clothing companies and night clubs.
In addition to personal pages, users can create
and join various groups of every description;
become a virtual groupie of your favorite band,
or maybe just a genre. There's "Sex in the City"
groups, traveling groups, pet lovers groups, singles groups, married groups, or just the I-like-to
have-sex-in-general groups. "Photography" can
be found as easily as "Real Boys Kiss Boys", and
"Brunettes kick ass", or just join the group
"New Jersey". "I Like Spooning", is on the
same page as "Love is suicide" which is a hop
skip and a jump from, and I couldn't make this
up if I tried folks, "T.B.D.C. The Butt Drag
Club" (who, by the way, boasts 67 members).
In yet another outlet for which to proclaim our
individuality while adhering to a well defined
structural norm, Myspace functions as a virtual platform for not-so-virtual validation. Users
can "comment" on one another's posted photos,
and not a few bulletins are submitted asking for
"friends" to comment (read compliment) their
newest and most captivating offering to the pic
pool. Fewer still, are those photos documenting young women in compromising positions,
wearing little outfits and coy glances. But Photoshop does not a model make, which leads me
to yet another bizarre Myspace phenomena; the
pseudo model. It would appear to the casual
observer that 80% of woman on Myspace are
busty size-nothings with perfect complexions, an
imposing portfolio, and a host of male admires,
all forcing their lips into that oh-so-sexy pout
that reminds me not a little of a case of bad gas.
What does it all mean you ask? Simply that "real"
people are collectable as trading cards, never
look bad, have tons of friends, and have cool
names like Mattis, Forbidden, and Tia Tequila.
In a world dominated by "reality" tv, where nonfiction has reached new heights of popularity, it
would seem that we forgo perusing the fantasy
isle, in favor of living in fantasy worlds. Where
lies the line between what is real, and what is
wrapped in pretty packaging and constructed so
that we can once again pretend that the monsters
do not live under our beds?
Thank you.

BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
On the list of preparations for an
upcoming semester, the prospect of
setting aside even MORE money for
parking is not a pleasant one. Now, let
me just say this, I was all but thrilled to
see a $90 increase for next semester's
parking permit (that's $248 total), however, after talking to Robert Williams,
coordinator of business operations &
technology, I understood the fees were
predetermined.
"Parking Services is also self-supported, [and] any money made [from
the parking permits] goes back to
building more parking lots," according to Williams. "The most recent lot
[we] finished [was] behind the Business Building."
Talk of the parking on campus
always brings up carpooling. The idea
of carpooling or riding the bus is wonderful in theory, but unpracticed for the
majority of students who have schedules as crazy as my own. They live in
once place, work in a totally different
place, and commute anywhere from
45 minutes to an hour to get to school.
Even if there are commuting students
in the same area, their hours will be as
different as the male and female mind.
I find myself laughing with students
who suggest renting driveways from
homeowners near campus or a parking
spot from the local churches at $75 or
even $150. Some suggestions are rather
witty, though, such as finding several
students who have a similar school
schedule and buying Palomar parking
permits and then splitting the cost of
a single carpool permit from CSUSM.
The idea being the carpoolers park at
Palomar and then cram into one car to
get to San Marcos and then drive back
to. Palomar after class so students can
go home or to their jobs.
File photo by Jason Encabo / The Pride
I'm certain there will be some really
intricate plans put in motion to avoid
the extra fees. And yet, look at the situation; the extra hundred won't make
anyone walk further to get to class,
but parking in the dirt is still going to
be a drag. Of course, I look forward
to what the creative rebels will think
of when parking passes $300. (Just
imagine!)
One experience of Katrina
Former Pride editor gives f irst h and account
BY MELANIE ADtflNGTON SINGH
Special to The Pride
After a weary two weeks in Gulf
Coast, it was refreshing to see The Pride
online news about CSUSM making a
difference in the lives of so many down
here. I graduated in December 2001
and remember having my CSUSM
friends and faculty as support when we
were reeling from 9/11, so I was glad
to hear that everyone is still supporting
each other and making a difference in
other communities.
I am a California native, but moved
three years ago. Here in Mississippi
and Louisiana there are so many
people needing help yet too devastated
to know how to ask for it. Although I
have sustained only minor damage to
my home and time, I hope that I can
express to you how much pain there is
here. It's not just something to watch
on the news. These are people that may
have lived in your neighborhood before
moving here, and if not they are still
your neighbors.
Out of shock, I remained glued to the
television for thefirstfew days. I waited
to see familiar faces, alive or otherwise. Many in the country have given
tremendously, but there are long term
effects to be considered. Even after
Geraldo and Fox News stops screaming into the camera about the "face of
tragedy', there will be still be thousands of evacuees working to rebuild.
Even at the northern tips we still have
to boil our water as the whole grid
went down. Even turning off the news,
there's no escape from the stories.
I work in the Department of Art at
the University ofMississippi. I've spent
what little free time I have working at
the Katrina Resource Center as well
as fostering a dog from New Orleans
and helping coordinate a benefit art
sale. I met a woman last week I'll
never forget. She walked in, obviously
shaken, trying to say she was from
New Orleans, but just started shaking
and crying. It was difficult even to get
her supplies, she kept apologizing for
having to ask for help and kept trying
to explain to us that she is a working
person, she had a job, but it was washed
away. Finding what gas there was,
she eventually made it to Oxford and
a relative after a few days, normally
this drive takes four to five hours.
The stories that are the worst are from
people who watched their loved ones
wash away or floating their loved ones
dead bodies down the street to get to
a hospital to keep their corpse safe.
I can't feel good about giving money
or working at a shelter knowing how
many others haven't even begun to
make it somewhere that resembles a
home and those who never will because
help didn't come in time. At the end
of the day, exhausted and broke, the
little relief I can give still just leaves
me hollow but I hope that if everyone
does something, at some point it might
be more than enough.
So many are doing as much as they
can and them some, but then there are
others who say "others are giving" or "I
don't have any time or money to spare"
and it makes you wonder. I mean, there
are people who have escaped, knowing they no home, who are willing to
volunteer, but people can't be bothered
to buy a case of water that could save
the lives of people in their own state, in
their own country?
�Sundays at the BLVD
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
"Champagne mimosas brunch
served at The BLVD in San
Marcos?" Exactly what I said
when I stumbled across the
club's ad for The Sunday Brunch
Buffet. Though skeptical, I was
very interested in trying it.
I'm sure you have either heard
about or experienced first hand
The BLVD's nightlife, but unlike
other nightspots they have much
more to offer than just the typical bar scene.
Lively or relaxed, The BLVD
is the perfect place to mark a
special occasion with family or
friends. When I entered, I was
greeted by an employee and
told I could sit anywhere. I took
notice of the interior - a casual
and student-friendly sports bar.
If you're a sports fan, The BLVD
showcases 17 televisions with a
variety of athletics going nonstop to keep you updated with
current scores.
The BLVD Sunday brunch
offers eggs, bacon, sausage,
fried chicken, biscuits and gravy,
beans and cheese, spaghetti and
of course cheesy potatoes. On
the fresher side of things crab
claws, shrimp, bagels, muffins,
and fresh green salad were available.
To top it all off, the omelets
were amazing. Made to your
personal liking, your choice of
fillings include: mushrooms,
bacon, jalapenos, cheese, onions,
and pretty much anything else
you can think of. Next to the
omelet grill was the meat carving station - they offered prime
rib and pork roast ready to slice
and serve.
The BLVD's Sunday brunch
offers several different breakfast and lunch dishes, you'll be
sure not to go home hungry. The
service was outstanding and
the entire staff was attentive to
my needs with down to earth
friendly attitudes.
The nice thing about branching at The BLVD is it's not one of
those upscale brunches at the Four
Seasons that you have to dress up
for. You can actually wear jeans
and hang with yourfriendswatching sports while enjoying a delicious breakfast/lunch.
The BLVD Sunday brunch
costs $17.95 but students receive
$5 off with a student I.D. You
can't beat $12.95 for the endless food and champagne that
is served along with great service. I encourage everyone to
stumble out of bed after your
crazy Saturday night of f un and
try the BLVD's excellent champagne mimosa Sunday brunch.
All American Rejects
rock Westfield mall
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
On Saturday Sept. 17, in the
parking lot of their Escondido
mall branch, Nordstrom's hosted
a live performance by The All
American Rejects.
The gathering crowd was
filled with die hard fans encouraging the band to grace the stage
with their dreadful new songs
and some more acceptable old
material.
The show lacked the a dvan-
tages of ProTools sound equipment, leaving the lead singer
desperate to hold notes he
couldn't have reached if he'd
sold his soul. Otherwise, the
band has a decent place in the
pop heart.
Despite seeming to conform to
Corporate America by playing
at a huge mall, they tried (and
failed) to retain a punk image.
With the terrible riffs of new
songs like "Dirty little Secret",
the band follows the trends, pandering to high school girls. Stick-

ing to their roots and making the
album more about themselves
would have been a good way to
go, but oh well.
The show was mediocre
overall, but had ample volume.

l ittle'
musical
takes
stage
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
It was delightful to see Cal
State San Marcos welcome its
very own first full-length musical, "Little Shop of Horrors" to
its small Arts 111 stage this past
week. With a modest cast of 13
diversely talented members, the
production may have been smallscale, but it demonstrated much
heart and proves to have the ability to enhance the Visual and Performing Arts Department here at
Cal State San Marcos.
The musical, "Little Shop of
Horrors" is a dark satire, based
on a struggling urban flower shop
that rises to the top with the fame
of its resident, the exotic maneating plant. As the story grows,
so does the plant, becoming more
and more demanding of its appetite for human blood. "Little Shop
of Horrors" is an odd but extraordinary story, "filled with many
strange and unusual events "
This Cal State San Marcos rendition is original its own unique
ways. Much applause is given
to lead actress/director, Noelle
Marie Kerr for her powerful
vocals and her skilled craftsmanship in stage makeup. In addition
to the stage talent, the musical had
its own four-piece house band.
Yet another notable attribute
about this cast was their improvisation ability, that was highly
acclaimed by its audience.
"It was wickedly funny and
well performed. Even in the
midst of technical difficulties
when the character Audrey got
her microphone caught on a prop,
the cast quickly adapted to the
scene modification," said, Cassie
Johnson after the Sunday, September 11th performance.
Pumped full of quick-witted
humor, "Little Shop of Horrors"
was full of sarcasm and mockery.
Comedy kept the audience on its
toes adding elements of improvisation and personal style. From
the moment the lights dimmed,
the audience was well aware
that this production would be
anything but normal; "...please
keep all hands and arms inside
the auditorium..." This absurd
humor carried throughout the
production until the final scene
when a captive audience member
soon became the next helping of
plant-food.
If you missed this musical, you
clearly missed out on some great
entertainment for less than the
cost of lunch. The cast and crew
of "Little Shop of Horrors" are
all members of the CSUSM Take
Stage Ensemble; a theatrical
group of students, alumni, and
local musical theater performers.
Bravo to the "Little Shop of Horrors", a job well done.

THE PRIDE
Spice it u p
w ith P epper
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
"Why don't you have some dirty hot
sex with me?" To some of you this verse
from the popular Pepper song "Give It
Up" is all too familiar, but maybe a shock
to others. Let me tell you, after attending
Pepper's performance at the San Diego
House of Blues on Friday evening, it is
safe to say that the Pepper phenomenon
is growing.
I was first introduced to Pepper a few
years ago while living in Hawaii. The
boys that make up the band originated
from Kona, Hawaii. I was curious to find
out more about this band that was being
echoed through every surf shop from
downtown Waikiki to the North Shore.
With a Sublime-like edge, and catchy
lyrics, it wasn't long before Pepper made
waves not only in Hawaii but all across
the mainland as well.
I've followed Pepper's tour throughout
southern California over the past couple
years. They've played at various venues
such as Squid Joe's in Carlsbad and Canes'
Bar and Grill in Mission Bay. They had
previously been on tour with bands such
as Slightly Stoopid and have even made
appearances at the Vans Warped Tour and
San Diego's Street Scene.
Last night was a long show for Pepper.
Instead playing one show that night for
the traditional 21 and over crowd they
normally perform for, they played two
I shows in one night so that they could
reach the underage crowd as well. The
all ages show started at 6:30 p.m. and the
21 and over show began at 10:30 p.m. A
reggae band from Australia called The
Beautiful Girls opened up both shows of
the night for Pepper.
While I did witness some traditional
blunt passing at last night's show and the
typical drunk antics that go along with a
21 and up crowd, there was a whole new
episode I had not previously witnessed
at a Pepper show and that was the mosh
pits. Possibly due to the fact that Pepper
is now reaching a whole new type of fans
or maybe the fact that their newest CD "In
With the Old" featured a few songs with
hard rock. The whole idea of moshing at
a Pepper show caught me by surprise and
it persisted for most of the event. I even
witnessed a few people trying to crowd
surf, but it didn't last long.
All in all, Pepper put on a phenomenal
show. I was even more impressed by thé
fact that it was the second show of the
night and I wouldn't have been able to tell
the difference. They played for almost a
solid two hours. The venuefinallyclosed
down at about 1:30 a.m. Being their last
show in Southern California for some
time, I was stoked to be a part of it.
Pepper is currently heading to Phoenix, AZ and then they are making their
way to Australia with Unwritten Law. For
more information on Pepper's tour dates
and other information hit up their official
website at: www.pepperlive.com.

�Gage at mrar with himself
' Lord of W ar' movie review
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
"Lord of War" chronicles the life of
Yuri Orlov (Nicolas Cage), a cocky international arms dealer with charm similar to
Frank Sinatra.
The movie begins when Orlov sold his
first Uzi. His notorious reputation begins
to rise with a constant chase by Interpol
agent Jack Valentine (Ethan Hawk). "Lord
of War" chronicles the life of this arms
dealer, including the money he made, his
wife (Bridget Moynahan) and his drug
induced younger brother Vitaly Orlov
(Jared Leto) and his eventual
capture.
Written
and
directed and by
AndrewNiccol,
the
movie
delivers an
i ntriguing
sense of
satire.
On
occasion, you can't help but to laugh, grin
or even be surprised by how the satire dictates itself. Yuri states he won't sell guns
to Bin Laden because his checks always
bounce. The trailer proudly displays a
voice over by Cage stating "Say what you
want about warlords and dictators, they
always pay their bills on time." Or after
his capture, Yuri still continues to do what
he does best and by the way, loves. And to
top it off, one of the closing captions state
five of the permanent countries in the U.N.
Security Council are also the biggest suppliers of guns throughout the world
Unfortunately, Niccol doesn't seem to
know how to develop his characters. Valentine, Fontaine,
scenes and sequences as if they were commercials. In the end, it wouldn't have mattered if they were in the movie or Yuri's
life at all. It's surprising to note this
because Niccol's reputation as a writer
("The Truman Show," "The Terminal") is
worthy but as a director is not as prominent as a writer.
A movie such as this always brings up,
directly or indirectly, the politics behind
it. In this case, it is international gun control.
V
"Lord ofWar" shows two sides of Orlov's
conflict. He desires to make a profit while
knowing that his product kills innocent
lives. With minimal character development, "Lord of War" displays this conflict
in a satiric outlook.
Nine Inch Neils
broken' but., to return
BY AMIRA EL-KHAOULI
Special to The Pride
What an unbelievable tease!
Everyone who went to the
Autolux/Queens of the Stone
Age/Nine Inch Nails (NIN) show
last Friday must have had such
mixed feelings of awe and disappointment. The show was cancelled half-way through NIN's
set and rescheduled for November 20.
How do I feel about this? Well,
the feeling is much like a premature ejaculation. I got a little bit
of a taste with the 20 or so minutes that NIN played and when
they had to stop, I was highly disappointed. But then again, there
is always next time.
First up was Autolux, a Los
Angeles trio consisting of singer/
bassist Eugene Goreshter, guitarist/vocalist Greg Edwards and
drummer/vocalist Carla Azar.
Adding Autolux to the line-up
instantly transformed the band
from playing at clubs to arenas.
You can be sure that when this
tour is over we will continue to
see much more from them, as
touring with NIN has added a
huge feather to their cap.
Next was Queens of the Stone
Age, an obvious crowd pleaser as
they played many of their latest
hits, including "Little Sister"
and "In My Head." The group
includes singer/guitarist Josh
Homme, drummer Alfredo Hernandez, bassist Nick Oliveri
and guitarist/keyboardist Dave
Catching.
I must note that Josh was quite
hilarious with his welcome commentary throughout the show.
He even picked on an audiencemember who flipped him off
during his set by saying that earlier he was sucking...well, I'm
sure you get the picture.
Although Queens of the Stone
Age put on a riveting performance opening for NIN the audience was getting antsy, wanting
Trent Reznor and the rest of NIN
to play as soon as possible.
For all those who do not know,
NIN currently consists of singer/
guitarist Michael Trent Reznor,
drummer Jerome Dillon, guitarist Robin Finck, keyboardist
James Wooley and bassist Danny
Lohner.
The crowd erupted as soon
Image courtesy of Interscope Records
as the slightest moving shadow
behind the see-through screen
remotely resembled the image of
Reznor. When the band started
playing they received an enthusiastic welcome. This was their
third show in San Diego this
summer alone.
NIN's appeal is partially the
emotion that they put into their
songs, even a song as sexual and
crass as "Closer," and partially
the antics that went on, which
displays their industrial roots.
An amp was knocked over,
a microphone stand was tossed
away like a rag doll, and Reznor
squirted the remnants of a water
bottle into the audience as he held
it near his crotch.
The concert came to an
unscheduled end when Dillon
was escorted away in an ambulance after he complained of
chest pains. What I wouldn't give
to be a patient at that hospital.

The 8th annual
Health Fair to be held

Pride Staff Writer
This past summer, a new Biotechnology major was approved by the Chancellor's office for Cal State San Marcos.
Dr. Albert Kern, director of biotechnology programs here at CSUSM, was
able to get this program started with an
internship with 11 companies.
The major is needed because the
market research and the leaders of the
Biotech industry need well prepared
graduates in lab and business. The
Biotech program not only includes the
internship, but also guest lecturers and
mentors from the Biotech industry.
Kern stated that he does not know
how many students will actually

The health fairs will have a plentiful
assortment of freebies and handouts. Red

asked to supply event goers with something that they can take with them back to
their frat, sorority, dorm, apartment, house,

Cal State San Marcos will
host its Preview Day on Saturday, Oct. 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The purpose of Preview Day is
to show what the campus has to
offer to prospective students.
"It's a showcase of our university," Admissions Counselor, Karen Francisco-Butler
said. There will be volunteers
bringing people on campus
tours. Housing tours will provide dorm information to all
interested students. Field house
tours will also be offered all day.
Thirty student volunteers are
signed up to help with Preview
Day. Volunteers include student workers, clubs, and organizations from campus. "At an
event like this we can't have too
many volunteers to make it successful," says Admissions and
Recruitment Director, Nathan
Evans. Volunteers are still welcome to assist with the various
festivities of the Preview Day
event.
Outside the library will be a
Campus Resource and Information Fair. Admission and Application Workshops for freshmen and transfer students will
be provided. The University
Bookstore, Kellogg Library, and
other services will be opened
on Preview Day.
Information sessions by academic departments will provide information on all majors
currently offered here at Cal
State San Marcos. Some of the
academic departments that are
participating are the business,

very excited to coalesce the students from CSUSM and the ones
from other community colleges
in the biotech program.
"Hopefully more students will
find out more about it by next
semester," said, Kern. The Biotech major started this fall. The
courses required for this major
range Yrom hard sciences to business courses such as Financial and
Managerial Accounting. Kern
was interested in starting up this
new major here at Cal State San
Marcos because of his personal
experience in the Biotech industry. He worked in the industry
for a little over 25 years before he
came to CSUSM. Working for a
large multinational and start up
company, Kern was also able to
hire and manage many people.
All he wants now is to share what
he has learned.
"There is a lot more to biotechnology than just working in
a laboratory," said Kern when

careers one might get from getting this degree. There are many
jobs beyond the lab that involve
science and require the understanding of it. Kern also said
that graduates with this degree
would be able to find a job very
easily, especially down here in
San Diego since it is rated as the
number one cluster in the biotech
industry. If someone earns his

they wouldn't have to travel very

"Science is a creation of new

hopes many more students who
are interested in science will be
able to take advantage of this new

comes differently to
e veryone.
For some,
the
idea
of success
can come
through
love
for
others success comes in the form
of money. Ian Bentley has encompassed all aspects of success as
defined above.
Bentley is a business marketing
major at Cal State San Marcos,
At age 21, Bentley has just sold
his business of three years and
already has a prestigious job waiting for him upon graduation this
fall. Bentley is a student who has
been able to take his opportunities
and expand on them.
Bentley started detailing cars
in high school as an employee f or.
someone else's business. It did
not take him long to realize that
he wanted all the profit. Through
perseverance and high ambition,
Bentley took the knowledge gained
in mobile car detailing and manipulated it to suit his business.
Bentley was the owner operator of Bentley Mobile Detail; a
company which he based out of
FREE
North County. Bentley has a core
group of cliental that he meets at
their convenience. Of Bentley's
many high-end clients, the former
executive of General Motors is
included.
'
Bentley focused on corporate clients and had enough to
stay busy. Bentley's clients are
aware that he goes to schooLand
because of that, work around his
busy schedule. Bentley averages
about 10 20 hours a week, making
between $50 to $100 an hour;
"Not only has the business paid
offfinanciallybut it is the experience and networking that was fulfilling in the end," says Bentley
Bentley just sold his business for
$15,000 and has recently had three
job offers. He took a job as a marketer for San Clemente California
Software Company. This job will
prove to be a great experience as
he will be given a lot of responsibilities. Bentley leaves for Paris in
two weeks arid will be traveling a
great deal with his new job.
All the while Bentley has maintained a balance in his life, while
sustaining a marriage of two
years, volunteering at his church,
upholding straight A.'s, and securing a place on the Dean's list for
four semesters. With graduation
just around the corner, Bentley has
already accomplished more than
most students his age.

On Wednesday, Sept 21, cast and crew from the
UPN television program, "Veronica Mars", set up
shop at the Dome and dorms, as well as our University and Craven Halls. Massive cords looped
around the stars and salt of the TV earth as they
dashed about to get the new episode filmed on
schedule.
Typically, when the show needs a campus setting they end up on more established schools like
UCSD, however, being more than a few weeks into
its classes, CSUSM was seen as a better option.
Also, according to James Epstein, an' assistant
director on site, our campus had a "good look for
the director."
George Shockley, an assistant location manager, took extra time away from the busy set to
speak with the Pride about his experience filming
amid the bustle of students and staff. When asked
if he'd had any difficulty arranging the shoot he
assured, "actually it was quite quick. And they've
(administration) been very helpful on everything
we've needed." Even though our campus is both
the youngest and smallest public university in San
Diego County, he also stated that his approaches
"pretty much a basic for everything, from houses
tabuildings to everything, there's always a contact ^
that facilitates all of our needs."
As for any potential problems, Shockley seemed
unconcerned regarding any potential interference.
Asked if he'd equate his approach to 'just shoot
and hope nobody interferes', he láughed, "Well.. .1.
Yes." "
"Veronica Mars" is Currently in its second season
with new episodes scheduled to air Wednesday
evenings on UPN.
Catch Eye
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
, I'm enrolled in annass media communication course this semester that requires us as
students to examine media from a "critical"
perspective. Sitting in the enormous lecture
hall with over 70 other students, most looking primed for Laguna Beach, one classmate
caught my eye. Ann Helsig sits in the very
front of my class and on at least every other
opportunity, she raises her hand to interject insightful comments into the lecture.
Her intriguing ideas often compliment my
own and I had been waiting for the opportunity to learn more about her. So, when class
adjourned at 12:45,1 made a beeline for Ann,
and the first "Catch Eye'.
Through the conversation I learned that she
is a social science major with an ethnic studies minor and is set to graduate in December. She plans to teach abroad, having been
inspired by her visits to Morocco and South
America. During the course of our 15 minute
conversation she finished off two cigarettes
of a brand I didn't recognize, while telling
me of activist work she does through organizations such as Freedom Road, and Activist San Diego. Ann finished up by telling
me that her life is committed to "affecting
real change," at which I smiled gratefully.
I'm now so glad that I took the time to get
beneath the surface of my insightful and
mystifying classmate.
Keep reading for more surprises, revelations, and gratifications.

came back to my opinion that
sports is insignificant when compared to the tragedy in the Gulf
Coast.
In an attempt tofindsomething
else to write about I asked different people for column ideas.
After I talked to about 10 different friends and family members I looked at what they offered
and every single one of them suggested something in regards to
Hurricane Katrina.
My Uncle Rene told me to write
about the different sports teams
that are being displaced and how
they have to play entire seasons
on the road.
The New Orleans Saints have
moved their headquarters to
San Antonio to try and regain
some normalcy to their lives.
Their entire season won't be
played in front of a home crowd
because the Louisiana superdome is destroyed which automatically puts them at a distinct disadvantage even before
kickoff.
The New Orleans Hornets
will also be playing an entire
season on the road when the
NBA season starts up. They

Yes, smoking is a thoroughly unhealthy habit.
Second-hand smoke has been correlated with deadly
diseases, and smokers are now a solid minority in California. So, it should seem obvious that by removing ash trays
and limiting smoking areas smokers would recognize the
needs of the non-smoking majority. Right? I imagine many
readers will need a moment to nod before reading on to the
obvious answer.
Wrong!!!
People I know consider me dependable, productive, clean,
healthy and studious. I have a solid career at a charitable nonprofit organization, help support my parents, exercise regularly, speak up for environmental issues, volunteer at my local
television station, earn straight A's, and like many others...I
smoke. I am indeed one of those people frantically puffing
away between banishments to back lots and behind buildings. The typical questions, Why do you smoke? Why don't
you quit? Etc. all are valid, and all have simple answers: I
smoke for everything from raw nerves to relaxation to addiction. I haven't quit because I'm not ready to, I didn't feel
better when I attempted to quit, end of story.
Yet, back to square one, many of you believe if ashtrays
were removed, and smoking banned on campus, me and
others like me would be forced to change.
Wrong again!!!
If anything can be said of smokers on the whole, it's that
we are a very loyal lot. When there's a will, there's a way,
but wouldn't you rather see us in a central location depositing our leavings in plentiful, clean ashtrays, rather than puffing out second-hand smoke in bathroom stalls and dropping
our butts in random little piles all over our fair campus?
Wouldn't you prefer to have us out in the open, where you
could easily avoid our selected airspace? Wouldn't you be
more in favor of conveniently designated smoking areas as
a fair solution to this controversy than an inefficient hypocritical move to sweep us under the rug?
Birds fly. Babies cry. Smokers smoke, as do I. Let's
keep our campus clean, pristine, honest and open, even to
that which may seem unhealthy and annoying. Who knows,
your habit or shortcoming could be next.

SMOKE
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Smoking's prevalence on campus reinforces the yiew that
people are more apt to kill themselves than each other.
If you are okay with (this substance), you should also be okay
with leaving the front door open, walking poorly lit paths alone, and
picking up hitchhikers; If the probable suicide of cigarettes doesn't
scare you, it makes no sense to fear the less likely act of murder.
I still remember a day at Starbucks. The woman ahead of me had
ordered a nonfat latte with extra whipped cream. I predicted this
woman would probably light up as soon as she stepped outside, and she
did, violating the virginal morning air with her carcinogens.
There is only one type of person who douses fat free liquid with fat
filled cream, and it's the kind who fears obesity while they ingest such
things, the kind who fears death while destroying their guts.
The smoker.
There are 84 steps leading to the Arts building, 42 between Kellogg and University Hall, and from there another 50 to the Academic
and Science halls. It's a respiratory challenge for me to climb to class
four days a week, even though I'm neither fat, asthmatic nor nicotinedependent.
In addition to conserving space, these steps also function to discourage smoking, but they must wage a constant battle against the elevators, pitting sloth against exercise, life against death. Along with indoor
steps bathed in air conditioning, elevators make it all too easy to travel
through campus with rotting lungs. Such luxuries cater to smokers and
should be reserved for those with genuine special needs.
I won't go into a statistics spiel about the dangers of smoking. Most
of us have been given scare tactics since the fifth grade. I will say,
however, that I can't understand why people willingly harm themselves
with such things. It seems pretty masochistic.
If I sit down outside Starbuck's and begin slitting my wrists, I will be
deemed 'self-destructive' and counselors will be called. If I sit down
and begin smoking, I will be left alone, unacknowledged. Why does the
former get all the attention, when the latter ends up just as damaging?
At least the former heals. Smoking should therefore be equally deserving of psychiatric intervention.
If death isn't turnoff enough, consider the sex appeal of a mouth
that reeks of ash. Smokers will kiss smokers. Nonsmokers are more
hesitant. Such tendencies result in a high level of intra-addictive marriages. The image of lovers refilling each other's oxygen tanks isn't
very romantic.

Fall Alone: the trials of a shared experience
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Time is valuable, in-valuable
for never being so infinite as we
pretend to promise. This goes
doubly for time alone, no matter
what you do with it, or what it
does to you. In between a little of
both I've been fortunate enough
t o have had friends, even f amily,
that I could confide in. Yet, the
type of relationship, the type of
bond, the one whose absence
tempts loneliness no matter how
many surround you, no matter
how complete your retreats, this
has eluded me for the majority of
my young adult life.
Whether or not unusual, it
certainly isn't unfair. I've never
had proportions worth a second
glance, and my 'character' compensations typically run the
gauntlet from intimidating back
to pitiful. Now couple a hyperactive (indeed outright lecherous)
libido with an inflated tongue
in a spiteful head and it seems
silly that I bothered blaming too
much time between chances,
citing atrophy as I boiled away
in my own juices, bitter and dry.
There's no sympathy to be earned
in this, only small wonder that
I formed so many other malignant, judgmental explanations,
yet still had enough ego left over
for a sense of wasted capacity.
I had all this
going
for
me when,
over the
summer,
I fell in
love.
it's usually an excuse to buy shit.
I've seen no relationship, save
my parents', stand the test of
time, and I have no reason to
believe any type of forever is ever
guaranteed.
'She
and I ' fell in
love.
And what would
I have done had I not
retained those punctuating moments of optimism
and life-praising vulnerability?
And what the Hell was I thinking, getting myself into such a
thing?
I'd say 'be careful what you
wish for', but I don't believe in
wish-granters, or external-fate for
that matter. I don't buy into some
magical force swooping down
to turn dull, fickle livestock into
living embodiments of devotion
and goodness. I don't buy love as

put the warmth, the distinct and
sovereign warmth of her touch,
in any other vessel. Last week,
I dropped my entire evening,
drove the twenty miles, and raced
through the grocer for soup and
Popsicles (The good ones!
Only 'Buyer's' for my
baby!) at her mere
suggestion of illness. She makes
a servant and
a real man of
me whether she
knows it or not
and it scares me
alive.
I'm in love whether I
deserve it or not, so I might as
well like it.
Sharing it, though, is another
matter.
How beautiful? How sweetly
and intensely matched? That's
something for me to know and
you to dream about. By 'share' I
mean how difficult it is to keep
up my duties as eccentric misanthrope if I'm busy telling all of
you how accidental and wonderful love is. I guess 'too late now'
sums it up nicely.
Forget the formulas and
forget the idea that bitterness
makes you any more attractive
(or protected) than living in a
hole. Frankly, you shouldn't
even be fishing for this kind of
thing. Better to prepare for it
like a nuclear strike.
I still don't know what we'll
do with each other, we know this
kind of connection is too rare to
let inflate into infatuation, but
finding time to have sole reign
over my presence; it isn't easy
when her absence confronts me
before I can even get the car door
open.
Worrying about the have-have
not of it aside, there are still some
who would abstain, thinking it
easier or more spiritually pure.
They're the ones that deserve
pity, not me, not you, no matter
how lonely or loathsome we
become.
When it comes down to it, I'd
spit this in the face of every gatekeeper from here to Nirvana's
Jacuzzi: 'there is no simplicity or contentment greater than
that found in the arms of human
love'.
I don't deserve it, so there's no
reason you can't have it.

�'Corpse Bride'
lukewarm
BY ZÀCHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer /
v
If you hesitated to fling
yourself into opening weekend crowds at the prospect of a
new Tim-Burton-Creepy-StopMotion picture, then chances
are high that you, like myself,
suspected a capitulation to the
Celluloid Barons f or more mall
merchandise. Perhaps you were
so impressed by "The Nightmare
Before Christmas", whether you
saw it as a result of its sleeper
success, or were lucky enough
to catch it at the theater...over a
decade ago (now who's feeling
closer to the grave) that you now
fear a gigantic let-down.
Rest and peace, it wasn't a letdown.
Not a gigantic one, any way.
Fans of stop-motion should
certainly make time for the big
screen experience. As digital
animation rapidly becomes more
life-like, and more cost-efficient,
those of us who grew up with
"Gumby" are becoming desperate for even a moderate stopmotion fix. Fortunately, "Corpse
Bride" can boast, above all, some
of the most expressive characters
I've ever seen, including those
counted among 'live' actors.
Even when the proportions aren't
believable, the 'puppets' in this
feature are always life-like,
My highest hope was to count
another pearl into the few musicals recommended to those who
avoid musicals, but alas, the music
is lacking father than redeeming. The best tunes in "Corpse
Bride" come from the opening
and back-story numbers, both of
which are passable on tlieir own,
but simply sad when compared to
"The Nightmare Before Christmàs", whose soundtrack still
haunts me. There are impressive
piano-playing moments, but the
few remaining songs are merely
dialog rhymed into passé melody
by tone-deaf characters best left
as walk-ons.
The overall plot remains a
few steps ahead of predictable,
no farther than the genuinely
clever laughs stay ahead of the
corny gags. Considering how
long it takes to animate a single
movement, and considering how
the afore mentioned sub-musical numbers seemed to stretch
the narration, it seems wrong to
merely call it 'too short'. Still,
for all its dealings with 'love',
the angles of the story's trian-

gle didn't have much time to get
under each others'skin.
For those deprived souls
who have yet to see either "The
Nightmare Before Christmas"
or "James and the Giant Peach" for cheap seats, but do go see this
as done by much of the same one, if only to pour some blood
talent, "Corpse Bride" makes on the grave of good movies, that
a fine introduction, but doesn't i t may rise again to scare the flesh "
quite cut it as a progression. Try off pointless Merchandise.

In a hurry to get out of class, it happens t o eveiyone forgetting to put the cap back on a
gel pen. For those with bad luck, like me, w e end u p marking up our favorite shirt. So
instead of wearing the pool of blue ink like a new medal of honor through the halls, we
usually bear the heat and pull on a sweater, find a sticker or even run home to change.
Don't shed artear about not being able tor wear that scribbled shirt again, there are simple
solutions.
Just apply any products containing alcohol, such as hairspray or nail polish remover. It
takes gel pen stains right out. And, common sense, people»! am not referring to tequila.
Bad luck witb Starbucks,
Do you find yourself running to classes with a recently purchased cappuccino then
spilling it all over yourself climbing up the endless stairs? Well, don't fear solutions are
near. One big tip is to never let a coffee stain set in. Once it dries the harder it becomes
to remove, so act f ast
Either of these solutions will work:
Pre-treat the stain with any commercial stain remover for one minute before washing.

Say peace to the pizza grease.
The Dome is no Pizza Hut or Domino's but there is a common problem thè GREASE,
even worse getting it on your clothes. Dropping a pepperoni in your lap or forgetting
to clean up afterwards before resting your elbows leaves a nasty smelly stain. Unlike
coffee that sets in and stays stained, pizza grease can go days in the hamper and you'll
still be able to remove it without a hitch. So instead ofjust tossing the shirt away, try
these thrifty ideas.
Apply Lestoil (cleaner degreaser) or any cheap shampoo directly to the stain, rub and let
sit, and then wash in warm water.
Good luck San Marcos with those nasty stains.

Jodie Foster, the queen of thrillers does
it once again in "Flightplan." Here she
plays Kyle, a j e t propulsion
*
engineer who
has recently been widowed and is traveling with Julia, her 6-year-old daughter
from Berlin to New York.
Upon waking up from a nap, Jodie Foster
finds her daughter missing. She immediately asks the flight crew to seat every passenger and announce that there's a missing
child.
When no one reports the child being
seen, she demands the captain, Rich (Sean
Bean) and sky marshal Carson (Peter Sarsgaard), along with the crew, to search every
cabin, bin and the access point beneath and
above the plane.
When Julia isn't found, everybody
begins to believe that Kyle is delusional.
Julia's name isn't on the passenger manifest, the departure gate at Berlin has no
record of her checking in and the morgue
reports says she was killed along with her
father/With hef options running out, she
acts on impulse and uses her knowledge of
the plane to conduct her own search.
Don't worry there's a twist, which of
course I won't reveal, but its one interesting way to move on with the plot but
it seemed a little desperate. I will tell you
though, that it starts with an intriguing
premise on the psychological genre but
ends up somewhere over the rainbow.
Foster, in a role similar to "Panic Room,"
is always able to hold back her emotions
just an inch. If she wanted to, she could
follow through. She has mastered • the
facial expressions. For example, she could

Kanye West's 'Late Registration'
BY CARISSA GOAD
Pride Staff Writer
The latest member of the music
world that almost everyone has
something to say about, regarding
the comments he made about political racial segregation in our nation.
Kanye West dropped his second
album last week, premiering at
number one, with 860,000 albums
sold.
"Late Registration," takes on
a whole new sound then what is
being played over today's radio
waves. His fresh sound incorporates all decades throughout the
past 50 years. The album' was created with a live orchestra instead
of music that was driven by sound
beats. It includes diverse components of j azz, poetry, rap and
soul.
Among my favorite songs on
the new album include "Roses
and Diamonds," which give the
album a softer more feminine
vibe. Others with a more feel
good and get up to shake your
booty j ams like, "Gold Digger"
and "Touch the Sky." Kanye also
attacks political issues and ideas
in such songs as "Crack Music"
and "Addiction." He came up with
controversial ideas but he had to
rely on others to help covey and
portray this notorious lyrical content.
He collaborated with featured artists such as Jay Z, Brandy, Common,
The Game and Paul Wall. According to Rolling Stone magazine,
"Kanye West steps up his lyrical
game, shows off his epic production
skills, reaches higher, pushes harder
and claims the whole world of music
as hip-hop turf."
I listen to this entire album
and agreed that Kanye is not j ust
trying to be another hip artist, but
rather revolutionize hip hop in
another direction. Producer Jon
Brion really gave Kanye what he
needed to let his lyrical creativity flow in another direction compared to his f irst album, "The College Drop Out."

Tenure denial sparks controversy on campus
Student vouches for
von Son's teaching
credentials
BY LILLIAN POZOS
Pride Staff Writer
A n open forum was held on, Sept. 28,
following a MEChA meeting to discuss
the alleged refusal o f tenure to a professor of the World Languages Department.
Omar Yafiez and Amilcar Chavez, both
students of CSUSM, were scheduled to
hold a dual discussion, but Chavez was
allegedly legally advised not to attend the
open forum.
The forum was held to discuss whether
Carlos von Son, assistant professor of
Spanish and Latin American Literature,
was allegedly "racially discriminated"
against through the alleged refusal of his
tenure. Yafiez, the student in support of
von Son's tenure, explained his perspective on the history of von Son.
Yafiez agreed to hold the discussion if
someone would balance his arguments.
According to Yafiez, von Son is currently pursuing a lawsuit in the San Diego
court system. In his lawsuit, von Son is
allegedly accusing a female professor of
sexual harassment and a male professor of
unequal treatment. Many of the CSUSM
faculty have been subpoenaed, denying
their ability to speak about von Son, said
Yafiez.
Yafiez explained that the administrations
refusal of tenure is allegedly based on von
Son not being a good teacher according
to student course evaluations, he does not
have enough published works and he does
not do community work.
The World Language department is
focused on Spanish from Spain while von
Son stresses Spanish from Latin America,
said Yafiez. He also said, the administration holds Spanish from Latin America
lower than Spanish from Spain, contradicting von Son's teaching methods. Yafiez
believes von Son shows Mexican litera^
ture and the Mexican dialect as equals of
the material taught in the other Spanish
classes.

ASI and German Club will be sponsoring events in honor of Oktoberfest on Oct.
6 at the Kellogg Library Plaza. This will be
the second year our campus has provided
activities in observance of this German
tradition. ASI and German Club invite students and faculty to partake in this year's
Oktoberfest celebration for its recreational
enjoyment and cultural significance. Festivities for the event will be held from noon
until 1 p.m..
"Participants will be provided free food
and beverages, and there will also be a sausage toss," said Diana Wong, ASI Director of Cultural Programming. The sausage
toss will require contestants to hurl a sausage onto the top of a small cake in hopes
of winning the coveted 'Weenie Award.'
Other prizes include T-shirts and coupons
courtesy of Wienerschnitzel. Wong also
confirmed that a dance performance, provided by guests Bill and Erma Sassel, w ill
be among the event's entertainment.
There has been much speculation from
students and some faculty about the observance of Oktoberfest on our campus regarding the tradition's nature for encouraging
alcohol consumption. To uphold the spirit
of Oktoberfest, Wong commented that a
sufficient "root beer keg" would be present
so as to abide by dry campus policy.

CSUSM out-beat 4 6 universities and

honoring the campus's recycling success,
President Hayes accepted the 'RecycleMan' trophy on behalf of CSUSM.
"Attractive, yet functional," said President Hayes about the trophy. 'RecycleMan' is quite an odd blend of recycled

In his speech, Yanez explained
that four years ago a woman filed
a complaint with the administration against von Son. The woman
allegedly said she was being sexually harassed by von Son but
the administration dropped her
case because there was not sufficient evidence. Yanez claims
the administration wants to discipline him by denying him tenure.
Yanez wants to know why the
woman's testimony is so impor-
tant to the administration now,
when the case is closed.
Yafiez has worked closely with
von Son, producing an independent film that will be shown at a
New York festival.
Being a colleague of von Son's,
Yafiez says he supports von Son's
method of teaching but not his
behavior. To explain the history
of von Son's grievances, Yafiez
said many female students have
complained. He went on to say
that many of the sexual harass-
ment complaints about von Son
have been mentioned on class
evaluations. These are not formal
complaints and are over looked,
but they are written proof.
"The denial of his tenure that
he's not a good teacher . .. its
bullshit," said Yanez.
Von Son's CSUSM home page
states that he has published five
books including "Deconstructing Myths: Parody and Irony
in Mexican Literature." It also
states his many community
activities including include the
fifth annual Main Street Oceanside Day of the Dead Celebration
on, Oct. 30.
According to the CSUSM Web
site, von Son accepted a tenuretrack teaching position as an
Assistant Professor at CSU San
Marcos in the fall of 1997. For
more information about von Son

Attempts to contact von Son
were not immediately return.

�Proposition 73 threatens to revoke teen privacy
I nitiative w ould mandate parental n otification of minor's abortion
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
Proposition 73 brings controversy to the statewide ballot for
the Tuesday, Nov. 8 elections
pushing to amend the California
Constitution requiring written
notification to the parent or legal
guardian of an unemancipated,
pregnant minor at least 48 hours
before performing an abortion on
the minor.
According to the Official Voter
Information Guide, the initiative
would mandate at least a 48-hour

waiting period after the attending
physician has provided parental
notification before terminating
the minor's pregnancy. Proposition 73 defines the context of the
law with thorough definitions,
the most important of which is an
abortion, defined by the proposed
law as causing "death of the
unborn child, a child conceived
but not yet born." The intent of
the initiative is to provide parents
or legal guardians the necessary
information to help their daughters with any serious physical
complications, emotional trauma
or psychological side-effects that
may result from the abortion.
Proposition 73, which supporters
advertise as a 'Parent's Right to
Know and Child Protection,' is a
divided and controversial issue on
the ballot expected to create more
of a buzz the closer the election
comes.
A common misconception
regarding Proposition 73 is centered on whether notification
equates to consent. However,
parental consent is not required
for the minor to have the abortion. The minor has the right to
have the procedure performed or
opt to seek other options available. Opponents of Proposition 73
argue that the law limits the teen's
medical privacy and attempts to
legally mandate family communication.
Parental notification can be
side-stepped. Minors do have
the option to seek a court ordered
waiver with convincing evidence of the teen's maturity or
best interests, as determined by a
juvenile court judge. The proposition also states that an abortion may be preformed without
a waiting period in the event of
a medical emergency, defined in
the stipulations of proposed law
as: necessary to prevent "serious
risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily
function" of the mother as result
of pregnancy.
Under the conditions of the
law, violation of these mandates
would result in monetary damages against the physician. Intentional falsification of parental
notification, by the minor, physician or third-party persons,
would be considered a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up
to $1000. California is not alone
in this endeavor; more than 30
other states have approved similar propositions that have legalized parental notification laws for
minors seeking an abortion.
According to the Campaign for
Teen Safety website, "Ed Hurlbutt, the Regional President of
Right to Life of Central California said, 'Some families are so
unhealthy, involving the parents
would cause more problems than
it would solve.'" The proposition
could ultimately jeopardize the
teen, and the Campaign for Teen
Safety claims that supporters of
the initiative fail to recognize
that not all families are wholesome and receptive to the teen's
right to an abortion. Rebuttal to
the argument in favor of Proposition 73 states that "proponents [of
Prop. 73] believe government can
force teens to communicate with
their parents," which is ridiculous.
In contrast, A Parent's Right
to Know website, challenges the
ideology that nothing medically
happens to a child without their
parent's notification: "in California, a daughter under the age
of 18 can't get an aspirin from
the school nurse, get a flu shot,
or have a tooth pulled without a
parent knowing." Supporters are
aware that the abortion measure
is a potential wild card that could
be a big win for conservative
Republicans.
College students have an interesting advantage with Proposition 73. Unemancipated minors
to do have a voice to vote, but
young adults may easily relate to
either the benefits or flaws of this
initiative regarding teen abortions. Oct. 2 4 i s the deadline
to register to vote. Voter registration cards can be obtained
through the ASI o ffice located at
Commons 207. For further information about the approaching

On Oct. 17 a huge Career Expo will
be held at the plaza in front of Kellogg
Library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. In past years,
CSUSM has offered two annual career
fairs separating Graduate School recruiters from prospective employers. This year
will be unique with the Career Expo being
a union of both the Graduate/Professional
School Fair and Job Fair.
"This way students can explore both
future career options with employer
recruiters as well as graduate and professional school options with college
recruiters," said Sandra Punch, Career
Center director. The combination is a
winning recipe to accomplish two things
at once.
One hundred and sixteen recruiters are
scheduled to attend the Expo, and according to Punch, "sixty-one of those attending
are grad schools recruiters."
The Career Center advises students to
dress as if they were attending an interview;
a suit would be very impressive. If a suit isn't
possible, Punch suggests wearing a nice pair

According to a handout, students should
bring: a pen, paper, and plenty of résumés
printed on high quality white paper to the
Expo. Students are further encouraged to
leave friends and family behind, enabling
attendees to give their full focus on their
career goals. The handout also recommends that students display enthusiasm
and interest in the organization. Be prepared to ask and answer questions, request
a prospective employer's business card,
and don't forget to ask if you can contact
them in the future.
Students should also bring a good attitude, a smile, and a strong handshake,
Punch said. If students feel unprepared,
Punch informed The Pride of four workshops scheduled to help ease the process.
The "Job Fair Success" workshop is scheduled on two separate days with a midday
and late afternoon session: Oct. 11 from

else's life."
Shari could well be an authority on
the subject. A Liberal Studies student
with a focus on Arts and Technology, a devoted wife and a mother of
two college-age sons, and an Oceanside City Council Member, she must
clearly impact the lives of many
throughout her community.
Shari describes her Cal State San
Marcos experience as "long and
tough, but very rewarding."
Although a politician, Shari is also
very down-to-earth and highly accessible, "If you asked me in sixth grade
if I aspired to be a council member,"
she reflected, "I would have told you
'no'. I ran for council out of necessity."
One of the first items Shari placed
on the agenda now establishes that
the City Council plans, staff reports
and back up materials be placed on
the city's website 72 hours prior to
meetings.
cl
•..
..
As of Oct. 1, the new Web site and
binders now allow everyone access to
Oceanside's city government.
Shari is also working on improving the flow of local traffic, raising
awareness on affordable housing
and focusing on good jobs and sound
economic growth. And, if that isn't
more than enough, she is working
on several coastal projects including a wetland restoration project, an
access route alongside the San Luis
Rey River and upgrades to other
coastal amenities, including new
beach access.
Shari states, "I love the ocean and
access to it. For years I have fought
for public beach access and most
recently was able to open one that had
been concealed from the public for
over 20 years. It's awesome to watch
people use the access. Before it was
open, the closest beach access point
was over a mile away."
Successful Student Shari Mackin
truly equates success with helping others. When I asked her to
describe one of her most "successful" moments, she confided, "Success is having someone remember
you 20 years later for holding his
hand on a field trip when he was a
small child. Success is receiving
a phone call on the eve of a council swearing in ceremony from an
autistic student you once worked
with telling you he wanted to come
but had to work."

�Writing Center Opens Its Doors a Little Wider
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Students who once found it difficult
to get appointments with a writing tutor
should be interested to know that, this
semester, many-more should be available.
The Pride spoke with Erin Goldwin, director of CSUSM's Writing Center about this
latest change.
Rest any fears or high hopes of striking
writing classes from the required course
list; the solution was far less drastic.
"At the beginning ofthe semester," Goldwin explained, "GEW 101 students had to
come to the writing center nine times, for
nine half-hour sessions. The change is that
they are still required to take nine tutoring
sessions, but now onlyfivehave to be from
the Writing Center, the other four utilize
an online program called 'V-Mentor'.
GEW students are still comirjg in, but significantly less than before."
Despite this syllabus change, the prospective writing tutor attends the same
class. LTWR 525 is attended by LTWR
majors primarily, yet it is open to all students. "There's no requisite major," furthermore, Goldwin added that, "There is
talk of opening another type of course for
tutoring classes of other backgrounds."
From its inception in 1991, the Writing
Center has always been available to all.
If students needing help with science and
business classes ever felt edged out, it was
certainly not a matter of bias, as Goldwin
saw it. "With the growth in student population," 600 GEW students this semester
by her estimation, "there were so many
appointments that students couldn't get in.
Now, there are a lot more for everybody."

Goldwin believes the biggest differences vice is an underlying apprehension over
are often dependent on where the center is whether a tutor contradicts a professor's
"housed". Our Writing Center is part of instructions.
"It's common for professors to misunderstand what we do." Goldwin acknowledged. "There's tension, especially in
LTWR, some professors will get offended
that the need for a Writing Center reflects
poorly on their ability, which it doesn't
at all. But that's something we've always
dealt with."
Mr. Sebring related to this experience
entirely.
"At Palomar there were both pros and
cons, some professors were supportive and
some preferred students not go. I'd assume
they'd support it simply because it gives
them additional resources."
Director Goldwin was also quick to
point out that "One of the philosophies
behind the center is that the tutor is not
an authority on the writing. The tutors are
here to.. .help them find a direction. We're
here to give feedback, but rarely a definite
answer. A tutor should never say 'you're
writing this wrong.' In the manual it specifically notes that they're not supposed to
talk about grades."
Even as it seems unavoidable to tempt
conundrums within the service, those who
felt ill-prepared for college writing would
hardly be offended to know that many
High Schools are establishing services
of their own amid the growing number
of professional centers. In Mr. Sebring's
experience students often "won't realize
they're having trouble until its way too
late. They're in doubt of what's going on,
(they don't know) that the center is here,
they struggle on when they could have
gotten some help."

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
- -^am^mr—i
Since I didn't have
a column at the begin•
ning of the baseball
season you're going
to have to trust me
when I tell you that
I predicted an 1-5
World Series between
^
•
the Padres and the
Angels.
Sometimes good things happen when
you don't deserve them to happen. The
San Diego Padres are a perfect example
of that.
The Padres have won an invitation to the
MLB playoffs that start this week because
they won the National League Western
Division. However, when you look around
the league at the teams with significantly
better records who are out of the playoffs, it is easy to say that the Padres don't
deserve a birth to the postseason. If the
Padres were in any other division they
would havefinishedin the bottom half and
talks of playoffs would have disappeared
in mid-July.
I guess I have to stick with my original prediction of a Padres-Angels World
Series since both teams are still alive. I
am confident with the Angels making the
World Series but the Padres are an entirely
different story.
The common prediction is that the
Padres will be eliminated in thefirstround
because they have to face the St Louis
Cardinals. The Cardinals were the best
team in the National League this year and
they were the National League Champions
last year before losing to the Red Sox in
the World Series. However, I can see some
rays of hope for the friars.
To begin with the Padres won the season
series against the Cardinals four-to-three
(three-of-four in St. Louis). Also, the Cardinals are a battered team. Their all-star
third baseman, Scott Rolen, is out for the
playoffs. Larry Walker, their starting rightfielder, is on a day-to-day basis with his neck
which means one day he could hit a couple
homers, but the next day he couldn't even
bend down to pick up a bat. Also, Reggie
Sanders, their starting left-fielder, has been
in a gigantic slump since returning from
the disabled list in mid-September.
With all of those injuries the Cardinals still, without a doubt, pose a threat
because of two players by the name of
Albert Pujols apd Jim Edmonds. Pujols is
arguably the best player in the majors, but
he can be contained by keeping the batters in front of him off the bases so Pujols
doesn't get a chance to do more damage
than he is capable. Generally, the person
who bats in front of Pujols is Edmonds.
Edmonds is dangerous at the plate and in
the field as he is arguably the best centerfielder in baseball.
The Cardinals pitching staff isn't as
menacing as some people think. The
Padres fare well against right-handed
pitchers and the Cardinals will most
likely have a three man pitching rotation
of right-handed Chris Carpenter, righthanded Matt Morris, and left-handed
Mark Mulder.
If the Padres somehow find a way to get
past St. Louis then they will face either the
Atlanta Braves or the Houston Astros.
I would feel much more comfortable facing the Braves since the Padres
took five-of-six (two-of-three in Atlanta)
during the regular season. The Padres
only went three-and-four (one-of-four in
Houston) against the Astros during the
regular season.
The Braves are an easily beatable team
because they have a weak bullpen and a
starting pitching staff that is really built
for a long season and not a short five or
seven game series. Not to mention the
Braves also have a young team that relies
heavily on rookies who have no playoff
experience.
The Astros on the other hand pose the
biggest threat because of their starting
pitching. The Astros boast a trifecta starting staff of Roy Oswalt, Andy Pettitte, and
Roger Clemens. Those three guys could
be the ace on any team in baseball and as
the baseball saying goes, "pitching wins
championships." However, the Astros have
a weak offense and in the playoffs a team
needs to score at least four-runs a game to
be competitive.
Ahh screw it, who am I kidding? The
Padres will lose in thefirstround. But hey,
at least they made the playoffs and I can't
wait till next season.

�A parking riddle
BY CATHIE SARNECKY
Special to The Pride
"What has: 114 parts (81 normal and 33
blue); suddenly appeared in August; was
a well-kept secret for about 3 weeks; and
is used by faculty/staff, and students (but
mostly the former)?"
If you guessed the new parking lot
behind the under-construction Business
building, you were right. It is General Lot
H and for the 81 students who discovered
it during the early weeks of the semester, it
spelled freedom from arriving huffing and
puffing after trekking up the hill and the
stairs. You exit your car, walk about 100
yards onflatground and stroll past the designated smoking area (warning: start holding your breath as you step o ff the asphalt)
and you walk right into either Science Hall
(A) or Academic Hall.
I noticed an anomaly this week. My
"discovery" had become full even by 8:00
(I don't have classes 'til 10, but this jewel
was worth getting up early) and most of
the cars were faculty/staff. At the same
time, the usually packed faculty lot about
another 100 yards to the right of the Parking Services Building had 2 or 3 empty
rows. Hmmmm, perhaps it was just a
coincidence! We shouldn't begrudge the
purveyors of our education a parking spot
that would reduce their walk by perhaps 15
or 20 seconds. After all, they pay to park
too.
Then there is the issue of 33 handicapped spaces in a lot of 114. I decided I'd
better go to the source to find an answer to
that disproportionate figure. 1 dropped by
the Parking Services office and spoke with
Robert Williams, the Coordinator, who can
"talk parking all day." Robert explained
that one reason "H" was such a secret is
that when it was reported to the "Loop" for
e-mail distribution, the only way to read
about it was to notice the "Click here for
news about parking."
Here is an abbreviated version of that

With all the construction planned in
CSUSM's future, how about building a
place for students to relax after class, a place
to ease the tensions of exams - a bar?
Now, it's true that this suggestion
appears to fly in the face of the polices
toward alcohol that the campus has put
forth in recent years, yet there are good
college, where people come, go to class,
and leave. An on-campus bar would make
a great place for students to interact and
get to know each other. N o matter what
you may think of bars personally, for many
people they are places to relax - or pick
up a date - and it would be nice to have a
place that students could go, have a drink,

and hang out after class.
The second reason we should have an
on-campus bar at CSUSM oddly enough
has to do with many of the concerns that
the campus has recently expressed over
the drinking habits of the student body.
Cal State San Marcos was one of a number
of state campuses to receive a substantial
grant in January of 2005 aimed at curbing
alcohol abuse among students. With the
money received from the grant CSUSM
plans to identify the drinking habits of students when o ff campus and especially in
the surrounding community. Although the
somewhat shadowy details of this ongoing
plan seem more than a bit intrusive into
the outside lives of students, its ultimate
goal of deterring irresponsible drinking is
an important one, especially as CSUSM
continues to grow.
A s fascist as it may sound, Cal State San
Marcos could regulate negative incidents
related to drinking by having a bar on
campus. Students Would not have to travel
* elsewhere to drink after class, which is a
What i
key safety issue. A bar on campus could
also limit the number of drinks a student
could have and would ensure that an only
twenty-one and up age group was allowed
access. Students are going to drink no
matter what, so you might as well have
them do it where there can be actual control and regulation.
The current alcohol policy at CSUSM
expressly prohibits the possession or sale
of alcohol on campus without prior consent from the campus President. So having
a bar on campus would have to be approved
by the President, yet should not be a problem if CSUSM were to look to the many
colleges that actually have such establishments on campus.
It is unfortunate that drinking has
attracted such negativity about it when it
comes to college students, and having a bar
on campus is going to be controversial no
matter how you present it. Yet the idea of
having an on-campus bar at Cal State San
Marcos is not without some merit. What
do you think? schra009@csusm.edu

The day is at its start and I arrive at class

must always be on time," to which I return
a glance of my own in a silent but credible
rebuttal. I seat myself and my mind starts
to register as now it is ten minutes past,
and a classmate leans over to ask "Are you
all right? You look tired." My friend, my
fatigued state is only the tip o f the iceberg
that is my life.
I belong to the population of students

I'm discussing Derrida and Marx in the
afternoon, and working for The Pride
at night. During the week I am a tutor,
mentor, and scholar and on weekends
I'm a secretary, volunteer, and daughter. Then finally when I do manage to
confiscate a slice of my own free time,
my boyfriend is waiting hungrily to consume it.
For what do I work so hard for? Why
the incessant need for struggle? Well...

��Foo Fighters
come
town
BY AMIRA EL-KH AOULI
Special to The Pride
"I predict a riot, I predict a
riot."
Even though a riot was predicted, it never showed its face.
As this time around the San
Diego audience was a bit fickle.
At the Foo Fighters, Weezer and
Kaiser Chiefs concert many fans
seemed indifferent towards these
talented bands.
Wait, I take that back. One
circle pit attempted to create a
following. Maybe it's because
the Tuesday night concert-loving
crowd was thinking about work
or school in the morning but
there was much to be appreciated
at this show.
Before I get to the bands, let
me note the production crew did
a phenomenal job with the lighting and stage set-up that night.
The Weezer set was exceptional
because everything was over the
top. Lighting switched focus from
the band to the audience and back
again. There were even three different backdrops accentuating thé
stage. One, a giant version of the
cover art from the band's latest
album "Make Believe," the next
exemplified a starry night and
last was the Weezer "W" flashing
in golden lights.
It was quite a change from the
Kaiser Chiefs set, which didn't
have much flash or pizzazz, but
it did have heart. Watching them
is like watching an old punk rock
video, with each member jumping up and down the stage. I was
excited to hear such songs as "I
predict a Riot" and "Oh My God"
performed.
Kaiser Chiefs is comprised of
singer Ricky Wilson, guitarist
Andrew White, bassist Simon
Rix, keyboardist Nick Baines and
drummer Nick Hodgson. I was
pleased with their performance.
Weezer was a disappointment,
with newer songs "Beverly Hills"
and "We Are All on Drugs" just
doesn't do it for me. They seem
too shallow to be coupled with
Foo Fighters. The sound quality wasn't as good as listening
to their studio-produced recordings and the light show was what
kept me entertained. I personally
would not suggest seeing Weezer
in concert.
After a much anticipated wait
came Dave Grohl and the rest of
the Foo Fighters (guitarist Chris
Shiflett, bassist Nate Mendel and
drummer Taylor Hawkins).
Grohl was all about audience
interaction. Besides his trademark playing in the audience and
jumping all over the set, he gave
a shout-out to a particular fan
that went on stage and exposed
his balls at a previous San Diego
concert. He even encouraged a
repeat of the stunt. Though a fan
made it on stage, he didn't listen
to Grohl's instructions.
The Foo Fighters were a great
treat and Grohl even stated he
wanted to perform more shows in
our country's finest city.

McMahan
House in
planning
stages
$2.3 million donation
for conference center
on campus
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
McMahan House conference
center at CSUSM is in the midst
of planning stages.
Former furniture store owners
JoAn and Richard McMahan
donated $2.3 million to CSUSM
to build a 3,800-square-foot
meeting and conference center.
The facility will be located, on
the knoll overlooking the campus
entrance with the track field just
below the site.
The Planning, Design & Construction department is currently
seeking to hire an architectural
firm. While no official date has
been set to begin construction,
the planning stages for the facility have already begun.
"Our intent is to only use the
donation money to build and
equip the building," said Russell Decker, director of Planning,
Design & Construction. Decker
estimates that no public CSUSM
funds will be needed for the project.
The donation is expected to
cover all costs of construction,
labor, and the facility's resources.
The McMahan House will-be furnished with a commercial kitchen
capable of hosting banquets and
providing dining services for
luncheons or meetings, as well
as being equipped with the necessary audio-visual technology
to aid in presentations, lectures,
and conferences. The facility will
also have a functional manager's
office and will "likely be a source
of student employment," according to Decker.
A planning committee team
will be developed to provide input
on construction and help with the
functionality of the McMahan
House. The committee has yet to
formed, but is not limited to professional staff. Students are welcome to join the planning committee team to help oversee the
transformation of this dirt hill
into a much needed service.

Lady Cougars get new members
Try-outs prove to
be demanding but
promising for others
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
The Lady Cougars, previously
named Cougar Dancers, held
closed-auditions in the Hunter
Gymnasium at the Clark Field
House on Wednesday, Oct. 5.
Nine women auditioned for the
intermediate/advanced dance
team displaying technique, style
and passion for the sport.
"We're looking for experience and knowledge of jazz, hiphop, and lyrical dance moves.
But most importantly, someone
we can work with; someone
who can progress," said Aliesha Waleneikowski, current
member of Lady Cougars who
was teaching the dance routine
to the prospective members. "It
will be a basic routine to show
style and technique," Waleneikowski noted.
The routine had an emphasis
on jazz and prospective dancers needed to quickly pick up
on the moves. Three dancers
were finable to meet the basic
demands of the dance technique

Hard Rock Café was chosen
due to its unique atmosphere
and the facility's eagerness to
work with ASI.
Previous balls have been
really successful and ASI
expects this Masquerade Ball
to be no different. ASI programming board anticipates
500 people in attendance. The
ASI programming board and
Hard Rock staff will be there
to make sure everything runs
smoothly.
Students should expect to
have "a lot of fun", said Tanja
Schroeder. The annual Masquerade Ball is the largest
event that ASI's programming
board throws and this year is
no exception.

for the Masquerade Ball. Having
the Masquerade Ball at a different venue means a different atmosphere. In the past, the balls have
had a high school vibe to them. This
time ASI is trying to liven things
up by creating a more club-like
atmosphere to the evening's festivities. Tables will be cleared to create
a dance floor in the restaurant with
a live DJ available for requests to
keep people dancing all night long.
A second dance floor will also be
held on the patio.
Appetizers and refreshments will
be provided. Alcoholic drinks will
be available through a cash bar and
wristbands will be given to those
over 21 years of age. Security will
be at the event checking IDs and
tickets at the door.
Tickets are free to CSUSM students and $15 for pre-paid guests
or $20 at the door. Tickets can be
purchased at the ASI ticket window
in Commons 207. Limited parking
is available in the Hard Rock Café
underground parking garage for $2
a car, located on the south end of
the restaurant. There is also ample
street parking near the Hard Rock
Café.
The hotel across the street from
La Jolla Hard Rock Café, Inn by the

"It doesn't have to be an overwhelming process. In as little
as 10 days you can put together
an amazing scholarship campaign" said Kaplan. Prospective
and current college students can
dread the scholarship process due
to the length of time often associated with searching for, writing,
and all the other aspects of applying for them.
Kaplan "Receives a letter or
an email every week" from students that have read the book and
obtained scholarships. Kaplan
said that a student recently
wrote in and informed him
about "$40,000 in scholarships"
obtained.
California Student Opportunity and Access Program (CalSOAP) brought Kaplan to host a
seminar about scholarships and
financial aid. The main staples of
the seminar were that: if you have
a need forfinancialaid for college
and you meet the criteria, you can
get it; if you want money for college and meet academic criteria,
you can get it; and getting the
money for college doesn't have to
be a long tedious process.

Cal State San Marcos has
two new students this semester displaced from Hurricane
Katrina. Deondra Hagan
braved the storm in Louisiana and moved to Fallbrook
with her aunt after the storm
damaged her house.
Deondra never expected
that the hurricane would do
so much damage. Her family
has lived through storms
nearly every year. She went
on to explain that the damage
was mostly from wind.
"We've never evacuated for a
hurricane."
"It got bad around 3 a.m.,
the wind was blowing and
trees were snapping," said
Deondra. She described how
the wind tore off the shingles
of her house.
"I have nothing to complain ¿bout, some people
have nothing," said Deondra,
"material things come and
go, we're glad we are all here
and alive."
An Executive MBA student
from the University of New
Orleans, Deondra started Cal
State San Marcos' MBApro. gram this semester.
Deondra left New Orleans
with her two brothers, sister
and her grandmother. They
are staying at her aunt's
house in Bonsai, CA. Her
father stayed behind to
help repair their and other
homes.
"I 4ove California," said
Deondra. She does not plan
to return to Ne\V Orleans and
wants to finish her degree at
CSUSM.
Deondra explained how
she had to enroll over email
since she did not have transportation to school and back.
She went on to say that Cal
State San Marcos has been
"great" and "a lot of people
are working with me."
Future goals for Deondra include law school and
a career as a sports attorney. "I want to have my own
business in sports." An avid
sports fan, Deondra played
basketball for her previous
college.

Catch Eye
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
I first noticed Juliet Cody in my
Comm 360 class when she walked
into the class room with a guide dog.
I knew that her experience on campus
would be different than mine, so I
decided to chat with her and hear
some of her stories.
Juliet grew up in Santa Monica
Beach as the oldest of four in a family
of two parents, two sisters and a
brother. She went to Santa Monica
High School before moving to San
Diego, and went to UCSD before
coming here to CSUSM.
One of the reasons she came to
CSUSM is because of how accommodating our campus is to the disabled.
She said she loves how she can find
talking computers, Braille everywhere
and a friendly student body. I asked
her how one should approach her when
they see her on campus and she said
she's always open to talk, but that it's
extremely important to identify yourself. I also discovered that Juliet loves to
surf.. .yes, surf. She also enjoys music,
technology, and taking long 12 mile
walks with her guide dog Marly, whom
she named after the reggae legend Bob
Marley. Her major is communications
with an emphasis in public affairs.
Juliet gradually went blind, due to
a condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, about nine years ago, but wasn't
completely blind until aboutfiveyears
ago. She said the hardest adjustment
has been transportation, especially in
North County.
I turned my attention to Marly,
Juliet's beautiful golden retriever,
and asked if she's always had Marly
to help get around. She told me that
she actually used cane travel for five
years before getting Marly. I asked
her about the qualifications to get a
guide dog and learned that after she
applied people from the service came
out and interviewed her. According
to Juliet, it's important to have good
cane skills, live an active life style,
be in good health and able to handle
a dog.
Juliet is an advocate for the disabled
and is President of the Beach Cities
Chapter National Federation for the
Blind. As she seemed so comfortable
with being blind, I asked her if she had
known anyone who was blind before
she went blind herself, and surprisingly she hadn't. Juliet told me that
she would love to have her eye sight
back if she could and told me about a
procedure that is still being developed.
The doctor implants a computer chip
in the retina which takes pictures and
sends them to the optic nerve so the
brain can process the image. This procedure won't be ready for another five
years, and even if she does undergo
the procedure successfully, she states
playfully that she plans to keep Marly.
Until then, Juliet maintains a positive
outlook on life, which is most evident
when she states "even after you're
blind, life is still awesome."

Oktoberfest, less
beer, more cheer
BY JASON SAUMUR &
ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' German
club hosted the celebratory event,
"Oktoberfest", last Thursday in
the Library courtyard.
Offering f ree root beer, bratwurst, and the chance to revel
in German culture, they invited
the campus to enjoy all the trimmings of a festival still celebrated
yearly in parts of Germany.
Even before Oktoberfest's
scheduled opening at noon, at
least 20 students were standing
in line, awaiting the traditional
German foods.
Following the event, I asked
German Club Vice President,
Jean Scheuneman, what she
thought around the Oktoberfest
cultural event both as a local and
as an international event.
FEATURESJ
r £ / / \ l UJVjL/
"In Germany, it [Oktoberfest]
has stuck pretty close t o its original roots. Here in the US, Americans might view it as another
excuse to go out and drink, but
that is not what Oktoberfest is all
about. It is a part of German history."
According to Scheuneman
Oktoberfest originated after
the marriage of Crown Prince
Ludwig to Princess Therese of
Saxony.
"You could say that it originated from a very long wedding
reception that lasted for 5 days.
On the last day there were horse
races and it officially ended the
festival. The decision to repeat
the races basically gave birth
to Oktoberfest." CSUSM didn't
have the horse races.
"Everyone seemed to enjoy
what we had going on. People
can learn more by going on the

Scheuneman.
Although this is only the
second annual CSUSM hosting of the event, Scheuneman
reported that this year "was very
successful, even though I had to
stand under the hot sun with my
costume on. But it was worth
it.. .a little over a hundred people
showed up...another club officer,
Virginia Young, dressed up in
traditional Oktoberfest attire...I
think it attracted more people
over then I had expected."
As the German Club provided
the bratwurst, ASI helped provided the root beer, among other
things. "Diana Wong from ASI

said.
In a h elpful exchange with
Ms. Wong, she echoed many of
the German Club's fond memories. "We had German dancers

the event. Bill p erformed with
his accordion ^and sang authentic G erman songs which Erma
sang and danced. The contest
"Sausage Toss" was where 10
contestants were randomly
picked and given two chances to
toss a polish sausage on top of
a (root beer) keg that was about
3 -4 yards away. Whoever got
them on top of the keg won great
p rizes...It was a great game
that the participants loved."
Scheuneman encourages everyone to attend next year's Oktoberfest, adding that "since
Oktoberfest is fairly brand new
to San Marcos we can expect
it to grow and become an even
bigger event next year.**

will remain on display through the
fall 2005 semester. In his artist's
statement he explains that, "As a
Chicano artist I feel a responsibility that all my art should be a
reflection of my political beliefs,
an art of protest." Montoya's art
portrays international struggles
within a community, and can be
said to give a better understanding of the world we live in, that
we are not an isolated culture
that failed, but that we have a
common antagonist that makes it
necessary for us to unite.
Born in Albuquerque, New
Mexico and raised in San Joaquin Valley, California, Montoya
grew up in a family of seven children with parents who could not
read or write Spanish or English.
Since 1968, Montoya has lectured
and taught at numerous universi-
ties and colleges, including Stanford and the UC Berkeley. He was
a professor at the California College for the Arts and Crafts for 12
years, 5 of which he was the Chair
of Ethnic Studies department.
Montoya has been a Professor at
the University of California, Davis
since 1989. His classes, through the
departments of Chicana/o Studies
and Art, include silkscreening,
poster making, mural painting,
and focus on Chicano culture and
history. Montoya's works with
acrylic paintings, murals, washes,
and drawings, but he is primarily
known for his silkscreen prints,
exhibited both nationally and«
internationally.
Also in his artist statement,
Montoya explains that "This
form allows me to awaken consciousness, to reveal reality and to
actively work to transform it.
What better function for art at this
time? A voice for the voiceless."
Being born into a silent and voiceless humanity formed Montoya's
personal views on art and society.
Realizing later that it was not by
choice that we remained mute but
by conscious effort on the part of
those in power, he realized that
his art could only be of protest-a
protest against what he felt to be a
death sentence. Three prominent
themes that run through Montoya's art are injustice, empowerment, and international struggle.
The Context Library Series
wants students to be exposed to
new ways of understanding and
experiencing the world, engaging them and allowing them a
venue to contribute to academia
as young scholars.

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
When I was
16-years old
the
biggest
concern I had
on my mind
was whether
or not I was
•BMiiMBlFriM going to pass
my
drivers license test. I spent most of
my days playing pool and video
games with my friends. I knew
that I was soon going to grow up
to be a sports journalist, so I made
the most ofjust being a kid.
However, the times are changing. The biggest concern on 16year old Michelle Wie's mind
is if she can make a par-4. The
16-year old amateur officially
became a professional golfer last
week when she signed multi-million dollar endorsement deals
with Nike and Sony which will
earn her over $10 million dollars
annually.
My Uncle always told me
that everyone makes the exact
amount of money they deserve
in this world for their abilities. I
tend to agree with that and I am
all for getting as much money
as you can, but this girl has not
won a single tournament in the
LPGA and she is already going to
be making more money than the
veterans on tour.
The $10 million that she will
be making annually makes it
hard for me to feel sorry for her,
but I kind of do. Wie should be a
sophomore in high school enjoying this time that she will never
get back. I mean some of my
greatest memories in life were
from the age of 13-17 when I was
in high school. She will never get
that opportunity to create childhood memories.
I believe Tiger Woods put it
best when he said at 16-years old
he was only concerned about what
colleges he was going to apply
to. Woods, perhaps the greatest
golfer to ever swing a club, has
a valid point. Wie needs to grow
up and develop her game much
like Woods who went to Stanford
after high school.
People may think I am a hypocrite because I siipport the right
of seniors in high school to enter
the MLB and NBA drafts. However, I am not a hypocrite because
those people are 18-years old
when they make that jump. They
are allowed to vote and go to war
so I see no problem in allowing
them to pursue their careers since
they are of legal age. I just don't
see how the LPGA can morally
j ustify letting someone became a
professional golfer when she can't
even drive the golf cart unless
there is an adult with her.
I mean I know why the LPGA,
Nike, and Sony are behind her.
Cai State San Marcos
runs strong at UNLV
Cross Country Invite
Clearly because she is someone
that they can market to death,
just like the IRL is in marketing
heaven right now with Danica
Patrick (another person who
hasn't wont jack, but because she
is attractive, she is a huge draw).
Another reason I am not too
happy about her declaration of
becoming a professional is that
she is already taking away press
from the great golfers on tour. Wie
says she wants to play in the Masters one day. I personally think
that would be a shame, because
there is literally no way she could
win and she would take away so
much press from the contenders.
You really only have to look at
Annika Sorenstám to realize my
statement is not sexist. Annika is
without a doubt the best Women's
golfer in the world and she is even
more dominant in her league than
Tiger is in his. I was in f ull support of Annika making a run at
winning a no-name Men's tournament several months ago. However, she couldn't even make the
cut and the average Men's tournament doesn't even compare in
difficulty to the Masters.
When I turn on Sportscenter
I want to see how Annika and
Tiger fared in their respective
tournaments, not some 16-year
old girl who hasn't won anything.
Just let her be a child like the rest
of us were allowed to be.

Sigur
Straylight Run C D review comesRostown
to
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
Straylight Run's new EP "Prepare
to be Wrong" t urns anti-love and
anti-war propaganda into music that
is both painful and clever.
The voice of Michelle Nolan
introduces the band's album, singing of discontentment in the present moment. The vocals echo eerily,
suggesting an unhappiness that is
unbearable but hard to pinpoint.
The second track, titled 'It Never
Gets Easier' provides an explanation
to the intro, speaking of a shallow
romance based on coffee shop meetings and small talk.
John Nolan states, "But a strong
distaste for confrontation leaves
no room for self expression." This
phrase is easy to relate with. Holding back honesty in fear of causing
offense often occurs in relationships.
The most intelligent aspect of the
track is Nolan's breaking apart of the
word 'sentences' into distinct syllables as he sings, "The syllables . ..
just aren't sen - ten - ces." Through
this he highlights the lack of communication in the relationship.
Track three's 'Later that Year'
shifts the album's focus from unfulfilling love to the broken promises of war. It starts off with what
sounds like snoring surrounded by
an acoustic melody. The melody
grows and lyrics speak of bodies

returned wrapped in flags. Nolan
and Nolan then repeat, "We did the
math and it wasn't worth it after all"
continuously, emphasizing the huge
discrepancy between the number of
lives lost and the number originally
expected. I assume this is geared
toward President Bush and the war
in Iraq.
The following two Straylight Run
tracks focus again on the pain of love
and then on the pain of war. I sense a
major pattern.
My favorite line from the latter
half of the album is, "Don't you say
a word unless you're pretty sure that
you want it analyzed." This shows
the irony that comes from one person
speaking casually without thought
and the other taking the words as
gospel.
It is possible I am overanalyzing
Dolan's words myself. But if I am,
I'm sure he would be flattered.
The final song is a redo of Bob
Dylan's 'With God on our Side.' The
song is basically seen as a satire on
pro-war fundamentalist Christians.
It provides a quick history lesson
while poking f un at the idea of religious protection. It closes with 'if
God's on our side, he'll stop the next
war/ This and other remarks would
be quite laughable if they weren't so
true.
I hadn't heard of Straylight Run
until recently, but I enjoy their music.
Though the new EP lasts less than
half an hour, the information within
it can keep a person occupied for a
lot longer.
The stage was set
afire at Copley's Symphony Hall on Monday
night, Oct. 3, with
the musical sounds of
Sigur Ros.
The Icelandic band
has made a return to
the U.S. in order to
play a small tour. Their
performance was unrivaled, with a two hour Image courtesy of Bad Taste Label
set on stage, and with each band member playing various instruments, Sigur Ros showed their vast understanding of music, and how to bring the audience to
their feet.
If you can't understand the lyrics it is reasonable, as
the lead singer uses both Icelandic and gibberish in a
•made-up language called hopelandic. The language is
used as another instrument in their already vast array. It
is a beautiful assortment of strong vocal bursts coupled
with soft and brilliant spoken parts.
As for their show at Copley's, the lighting was phenomenal, as was the acoustics of the building. You could
hear every note from every instrument, be it from Jonsi
Birgisson wailing on his guitar with a violin bow, or the
intricate notes on the keyboard by Kjartan Sevinsson.
The show was the best I've ever seen, hands down.
Sigur Ros played a good amount of songs from their
new album Takk (released 2005). It was the blend of old
and new songs that kept the crowd entertained as they
explored a newer musical direction, but still returning
to their old mixture of strings and slow, intense music.
For more information on Sigur Ros or their albums,
you can visit them at www.sigur-ros.co.uk.

I mage c ourtesy of Universal S tudios
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Walter Abrams (A1 Pacino),
owner of a gambling advising
company said, "Sports betting
is a $200 billion industry a year,
yet it is illegal in 49 states." This
is one of his lines while pitching Brandon Lang (Matthew
McConaughey) a job offer to his
illustrious firm. "We are selling
certainty in an uncertain time,"
Abrams continues.
Lang, a former football star
with a knee i njury that retired
h im, attracts Abrams when
he correctly predicts wins for
several football games in one
weekend. Abrams recruits
Lang f rom Las Vegas to j oin
him in New York. Lang is then
lavished with a new image,
money, a sports car, $1000 suits,
women and even a new name,
which becomes John Anthony.
At the top of his game, his winning streak ranges f rom 80 percent to even 100 percent. He
becomes " The Million Dollar
Man". But as the saying goes,
"Everybody's good luck streak
has to end sometime."
"Two for the Money" reminds
me a lot of "Boiler Room,"
where young men were shaped
into hardcore salesmen. They're
not selling stock, but are selling
themselves, an idea and a dream.
Same goes for Abrams and his
gambling advising firm. They
convince their clients why they
should bet on teams through their
sales pitch.
Abrams and Lang's father/son
and mentor/protégée relationship is the second best aspect of
the film. Abrams suffers mild
heart attacks and his marriage is
constantly on the rocks. But for
him to mold Lang into a younger
version of himself, is in a way,
making Lang walk the plank, but
Abrams doesn't care.
The best aspect of the film is
Pacino's performance; it makes
this film worth seeing. He grinds
up any role and makes it his own,
as if the screenwriter was writing
it specifically for him. I dare you
to name one bad Pacino role, you
can't because it doesn't exist. His
performance definitely makes the
movie.

Hurricane Katrina Forum
Proposed
University
Hour
Race and class discrimination in relief efforts
Fall 2006 may welcome
an academic-free time
period to promote
student involvement on
campus
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
Dr. Sharon Elise shared statistical facts
and public misconceptions about the racial
discrimination generated toward the poor
black communities of New Orleans and
neighboring affected areas. Elise highlights how the faces of Hurricane Katrina
victims are overwhelmingly black, with
In an effort to promote extra-curricular
engagement in the students of Cal State
San Marcos, the Associated Students,
Inc. began the process of implementing
a University Hour. A University Hour is
defined as a time during the week, usually one to two hours, during which no
classes are scheduled for undergraduates. This would provide a common time
for student organizations to meet, extracurricular events to occur and for study
groups to convene.
"University Hour, which will
strengthen our students' college experience, will also serve the Cal State San
Marcos Mission by empowering students to be active participants in building a community through co-curricular
engagement while promoting Cal State
San Marcos Core Values," said Marc
DeGuzman, ASI president and chief
executive officer.
The National Survey of Student
Engagement (NSSE) results indicate that
Cal State San Marcos students cite lack
of co-curricular engagement as a main
reason for leaving our campus. University
Hour will allow Cal State San Marcos to
actively address our low retention rates
by providing opportunities for the entire
campus community to engage all students
in co-curricular programming.

Blaming Victims
Misconceptions about alcohol on campus
Cal StatefSan Marcos is
not a fdiy campus
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Recent news articles published in The
Pride newspaper have given the impression that Cal State San Marcos is a 'dry
campus' prohibiting the consumption of
alcohol on the campus property. Dean of
Students, Jonathan Poullard felt this misconception about campus policy needed to
be rectified.
"Any and all locations, with the exception of classrooms, could be reserved for
events where alcohol could be drunk," said
Poullard. Cal State San Marcos' policies
deem that San Marcos is not a dry campus,
contrary to popular student belief.
Without a bar or liquor sales on campus,
CSUSM may give the appearance of being
a dry campus. Students may recall the
recent Oktoberfest event that served root
beer at the celebratory gathering, or the
Jazzfest event that promoted safe-drinking offering mocktails instead of cocktails. However, policy allows for alcohol to
be served in the form of beer and wine on
campus.
By filling out the correct forms students, faculty and staff can obtain permission to serve and consume alcohol on
campus. This form, known as the Alcohol
Approval Request Form, gives cougars the
opportunity to submit requests for alcohol
approval.
"There are several campus entities that
a group or individual must secure authorization from" said Poullard. These authorizations are in compliance with school
policies set up for the safety of students.
The University Police is not only required
to sign off on the alcohol use form, but the
police are usually required at any alcohol
related events.
Individuals are also allowed to submit
a request for alcohol on campus as well,
however most commonly the request is
made by student organizations in compliance with the policy.
"The most typical places for student initiated events where alcohol is served is in
the Clarke Field House, but events are not
limited to this venue," said Poullard.
"Several articles have appeared in The
Pride about the idea of a Bar/Pub, but no

Associate Professor of Sociology, Dr. Sharon Elise said, "as a
faculty member, I also note that
University Hour will enhance
students' ability to get together
with their classmates for study
groups, for group projects and
even for something as simple as a
cup of coffee with a classmate."
CSU Los Angeles, CSU Monterey Bay and CS Polytechnic
University Pomona are the three
CSU campuses that have a University Hour in place. Additionally, Mira Costa College, one of
our local educational partners,
also has a University Hour. ASI
has received positive feedback of
having a University Hour.
History Professor Patricia
Seleski, Ph.D said, "I agree that
building community is an important priority for the campus but
I donrt think we think creatively
enough about how you can do
that on a commuter campus. We
tend to take 'solutions' that work
well for small, residential liberal
arts colleges (partly because so
many faculty and student services types come from this background) where most students are
of traditional age and don't work
more than 20 hours a week, if
or older weighing at least 110
pounds are welcome to donate.
However, the San Diego Blood
Bank does have donor restrictions. Medical conditions, certain medications, travel in
selected areas, exposure to
Hepatitis, recent tattoos or cold/
flu-like symptoms may prevent
potential donors from participating in the blood drive. Participants should be prepared to
answer a brief medical history
questionnaire and communicate
with nurses about eligibility.
"Hospital patients depend
on blood donations every three
seconds ... it saves lives," said
Walter-Brown. Donations are
most often used in auto accidents,
heart surgeries, organ transplants, bone marrow treatments
and third degree burn victims.
The San Diego Blood Bank
encourages students to start
donating at a young age, since
young adults are typically in
ideal healthy and bounce back
better after donations. Many of
San Diego Blood Bank's active
donors are in their late 70s and
80s and are becoming ineligible
to donate do to health restrictions and illness, said WalterBrown.
All donors will receive a free
"Go Give" t-shirt, a voucher for a
free oil change courtesy of Evans
Tire and Service Centers and a
discounted round of golf at Pala
that, and insist that these same
solutions ought to work at a
campus like CSUSM where the
student profile is much different. We do this rather than saying
'well, maybe the sense of community here has to be created in a
different way because of who our
students are and what their lives
are really like ~ so how do we do
that?'"
Academic Senate originally
denied the ASI proposal for a University Hour on May 4, 2005 for
several reasons, which included
concerns over the impact on 4unit courses, especially in the
afternoon and evening and demonstration of the effectiveness of
University Hour. The Associated
Students Inc. Board of Directors
recently had a new proposal that a
University Hour be implemented
between the hours of 2:30 to 4:00
p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
to be implemented in the Academic Schedule in Fall 2006.
ASI recognizes that certain
courses and degree programs do
not lend themselves to University
Hour scheduling. Post-Baccalaureate classes, Teacher Credential
Programs and courses or labs
three hours or more in length will
be exempted from the University
Hour.
"We tend to assume that just
because students don't stay on
campus and participate in things
it is because they don't feel a
sense of belonging at CSUSM and
we don't often enough consider
that many students don't participate because they can't ~ in fact,
it's all they can do to squeeze the
time out to take classes, study and
get their degree," said Seleski.
ASI developed and administered a student survey in Fall
2004, The survey data indicated that the majority of survey
respondents believe that the
creation of a 'University Hour'
would benefit the campus.
"But, while I laud the goal of
University Hour, I don't think
the reasons for doing it are more
compelling than the needs of students to graduate on a schedule
(and at a final cost of both dollars and 'years') more or less of
their choosing. I think University Hour will cause problems
for more students that it will
help. And in the end, I'm not
willing to do that to students —
especially in the absence of any
hard data that demonstrates that
University Hour will improve
community life on campus,"
said Seleski.
The next Academic Senate
meeting will be voting on the
proposed University Hour on
Nov. 2. For more information on
the University Hour please see
the ASI website at: http://www.

Walter-Brown added that all
donors should bring a photo ID,
relax, and know that donating is
easy.
Those interested in donating
are encouraged to drink plenty of
fluids and eat a good meal within
4 hours before donating and be
well-rested to prevent fatigue.
Donations typically average one
hour to fill out necessary forms,
conduct a medical screening, give
blood donation and relax for at
least 15 minutes enjoying snacks
and refreshments. Appointments can be made by contacting Tanja at schro005@csusm.

DRY CAMPUS, from page 1
formal action has ever been
taken by students, faculty,
staff or administrators in
the development," Poullard
stated.
The main purpose for
authorization of any alcohol
on campus is safety. Safety is
a key issue at hand when dealing with an alcohol related
matter on campus. Poullard
noted that safety is "a huge
role" in deciding approval.
All alcohol events require
ID verification, police presence, a request at least fourweeks prior to event, all distribution of alcohol must be
handled by a licensed caterer
approved by CSU Foundation,
organization must maintain
general liability insurance,
no kegs or bulk containers are
permitted, food and non-alcoholic beverages are required
to be served if alcohol is
available and organization is
responsible for any facility
damages and cleanliness following the event.

FORUM, from page 1
the most vulnerable people being the
elderly and women with young children. Elise points out that historically
society tends to point the finger at the
victim. Implications questioning why
people didn't evacuate suggest that
these individual lack intelligence,
although many people with this view
fail to acknowledge that over 20 percentage of New Orleans residents do
not have access to a car nor the monetary resources to pick-up and leave.
Much like the real-estate property
values in San Diego, altitude is positively correlated with high-end homes
that are primarily white, Elise commented. New Orleans has a similar
situation; the "least affected areas
were white areas" because higher
altitudes were not subjected to mass
flooding.
"Blacks are being treated as criminals, not as victims fleeing a natural
disaster" said Elise in response to the
racial news-reporting suggesting that
blacks 'loot' and whites 'find' supplies
for survival. "We are not afraid to call
it what it is: institutionalized racism
despite the white hegemony of discourse" Elise argued.
Elise suggests that there are two
possible reasons to explain this racial
disparity: either something is wrong
with black people or something is
being done wrong to black people. But
racism isn't isolated in New Orleans.
Elise warns attendees of a grim correlation: "the blacker (something) gets,
the less funding it receives."
Elise urges our students and faculty
to acknowledge the "black face of poverty, the black face of death row, the
black face of unemployment and the
white face of the White House."

University Police offer escort services to promote
safety at Cal State San Marcos and around the surrounding community by providing police-assisted
rides to and from campus buildings, parking lots
and immediately adjacent areas of the campus.
The escort service has been offered at Cal State
San Marcos since the University Police Department has been on campus, but with increased living
accommodations on and around campus the police
are boosting up the circulation of information on
department services to ensure that our campus is a
safe environment.
Escort services are available to students, faculty, staff and guests to CSUSM. While the service
focuses on after-hour safety, escorts are available
from dawn to dusk, all hours of the day, as an additional safety measure.
"It's 24-7 and most people don't realize that," said
Officer Herman Hernandez about the escort service. "The police department is 24 hours."
Anyone can take advantage of this service
regardless of the reason or absence of immediate
threat. Many academic classes are held in the late
evening and with day-light savings time around the
corner, it will be getting darker sooner. Police will
escort and accompany students to their car, dorm,
bus stops and even the Prominence Apartments,
located behind the paved student parking lots. Students may also request an escort if their having
problems or being harassed by another person on
campus. Regardless of the reason, to arrange an
escort call (760) 750-4567 and a Community Service Officer will escort you by car, bicycle or on
foot to a campus facility, parking lot or immediate
local residence.
The University Police are expanding their dedication to campus safety by offering the Rape Aggression Defense (RAD) workshop to female students
scheduled on Oct. 18, 19, 25 and 26 from 4 to 7
p.m. in the Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House.
The RAD program is sponsored by the University
Police and ASI.
The three-hour training provides female students
with self-defense techniques and maneuvers, and
presents information on awareness, rape-prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance. The workshop is $20 and includes free lifetime admission to
RAD sessions to enhance skills or take refresher
courses. To enroll in a workshop, contact Officer
Carla Kuamoo, the University Police Department's
certified RAD Instructor at (760) 750-4567.

History Repeats Itself
Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca approached
racism through a historical lens and
focused on how policies formulate
racial categories to assert blame to the
victim. Comparing the Irish potato
famine with Hurricane Katrina,
Avalos-C'DeBaca argues that both
governments blamed the disaster and
circumstances on natural causes. However, Avalos-C'DeBaca contends that
both governments fail to take responsibility in their role of worsening the
tragedy. British elites were quoted
that the potato famine would serve
as a cleansing of society arguing that
'survival of the fittest' justified lose
of life. And after Hurricane Katrina,
former First Lady Barbara Bush was
quoted that the relief efforts were good
enough for the 'underprivileged.'
"How will we remember Hurri-
prean
cane Katrina in two, five, ten or 100
years?" Avalos-C'DeBaca said. With
the media shaping our collective popular memory of Hurricane Katrina,
we need to continue conversations and
analyze the role of racial policies and
attitudes that will form our recollection of this moment in our history.
"Theories do not save people;
action saves people. Take the risk of
speaking out," said Avalos-C'DeBaca.
Allowing the media to mold our own
interpretations of the events and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina will prevent our society from recognizing the
social-politics that oppress and blame
the victims.
White Racism Still Exists
Dr. Dreama Moon took the foundation of Fredi Avalos-C'DeBaca's argument and expanded the context advocating attendees to "keep an eye on the
traditional mainstream story and who
gets to tell it." Much knowledge can
be acquired through recognizing who
tells the, story.
Dr. Moon compiled exerts taken
from the American Renaissance, a
monthly magazine available online,
with conservative white racial views.
Moon utilized the exerts to demonstrate to students and faculty the
hatred and hate speech directed to the
black victims of Hurricane Katrina.
One view shared from American
Renaissance exclaimed "got a nigger
shortage in your town - don't worry
they got a bus load of niggers coming
to your town." Other exerts encouraged white-only aid expressing some
whites wanting to "help (their) people,
but the muds and spies be damned."
Moon encouraged attendees to be
aware of the deep racism that exists in
our society, arguing that knowledge is
necessary to deconstruct the inequity
that marginalizes noliwhites.
Open Discussion
Open to questions, comments and
personal experiences, students, faculty
and guests discussed the prevalence of
racism at Cal State San Marcos and
the walls that prevent communication about these issues. The panelists
encouraged attendees to engage in
dialogue on poverty, race, gender and
politics.
Several students shared their frustrations, grievances and experiences
on race. Sociology student, Lisa W.
expressed her feelings of racism on
campus. "It's the students I'm disappointed with, not my professors," Lori
said.
"A great-white walk out" occurred
according to one audience member.
She felt that white students left when
racism got too real for them, when
she observed over 20 people leave the
forum during Dr. Moon's lecture dis-
cussing white-racial views towards
blacks.
"But many stayed. I can only
focus on those that show up and
stay," responded Moon. "For white
students there's a d ifferent cost
for racial consciousness; (they)
are likely to be ostracized by the
white community. White people
can be ruthless and they can be
r uthless to their own," explained
Moon.
Avalos-C'DeBaca pleaded with
students not to get discouraged
in trying to open communication
on race. "If you believe you can't
change the world, you've been
conned. It takes courage to hope,"
Avalos-C'DeBaca said.
"We don't have time to be hopeless,"
Moon added.
An audience member commented,
"we're in college now and this is where
we learn how tofight.That is what I've
learned."

Campus wildlife
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
With Cal State San Marcos still in
the beginning phases of its projected
construction and growth, the original
inhabitants of the brush-covered hillsides surrounding campus have been
reluctant to be pushed out.
There is an "abundance of wildlife" here at Cal State San Marcos said
Steve Waiters, the Assistant Director
of Operations. Aside from the preponderance of rabbits that cover the lawns
in the early morning around campus,
there is a large array of other wildlife also calling the acreage surrounding CSUSM home. Roadrunners,
for example, can be seen mornings
making their way along the outskirts
of campus, as can coyotes, which can
be observed around campus in the
morning and evening.
"At one time there used to be a herd
of deer," said Waiters referring to a
small enclave of about 6 or 7 of these
large creatures living nearby. Although
the herd has not been spotted for sometime, occasional pairs of deer can still
be seen with the proper timing. One of
the shrubs originally selected by gardeners to be planted on campus even
attracted a few of the deer onto the
campus itself. Yet the shrub has since
ceased being planted as the deer were
feeding on them as soon as they were
placed in the ground.
As for the namesake of CSUSM, the
cougar, or mountain lion, this increasing rare Californian is not a frequent
sight near the campus. Although mountain lions have occasionally been seen
in nearby communities, complaints
from fearful residents and rapid urbanization have pushed this endangered
cat away from its native territory.
Still, many species of wildlife have
held on, for now, to the territory they
call home. The animals "just have to
know when to come out and not be
heard," said Watters. Yet as the campus
continues to grow it is likely that the
sightings of wildlife near campus will
probably decline over time.
As for now though, the army of
squirrels that often line the walkway
from the dirt lot in the late afternoon,
like many creatures on the fringes of
CSUSM, are happy to stay right where
they are.

Saleski asserted. "History 'gives'
the present we have to struggle with (and sometimes against)
every day."
According to Seleski, view. ing the Middle East, or any other
current events issue, through a
historical lens tends to complicate matters as many stay loyal
to the historical memory they've
learned, even though that memory
may not be accurate. The history
department believes that increasing people's knowledge of historical situations will enable them to
figure out new solutions to past
and current conflicts. "Understanding the past isn't just about
'nursing old wounds', it can also
be about finding commonalities
and finding ways of reconciliation."
Seleski assures students that
the history department does not
have an agenda, nor is it trying
to enforce any particular view
on the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The history department is
mainly offering students, faculty,
and the public an opportunity to
hear different views on Middle
East peace issues from various
speakers who have different relationships to the issues as way of
encouraging dialogue within the
community. Those involved are
also aware that these issues might
be a sensitive topic to some due to
its political aspect and in light of
the political dissention currently
occurring in the United States.
The speakers share only their
own viewpoints, and Saleski
reminds everyone attending that
the history department is not
promoting their perspectives as
truth, but hopes to ultimately

Miramar Air Show "The Sound of Freedom"
Student shares her
experience of the air show
BY SHANNON SHUREMAN
Special to The Pride
Are the pilots courageous or just plain
psycho? Either way, I was absolutely mesmerized by the talented pilots who strutted their stuff high in the sky today at the
Miramar Air show in San Diego, Calif.
The Miramar Air show celebrated its 50th
anniversary this weekend along with an
estimated 700,000 people. Spectators of
all ages and backgrounds flocked from
around the country to catch a glimpse
of the F-22 fly-by, Patriots jet team, or
the unbelievable Blue Angels. Along with
incredible air shows were the 100 or more
aircraft on display, including planes from
World War II, Vietnam, and aircraft still in
use today. I was at the event from 11 a.m.
until 9 p.m. and can honestly say there was
not a dull moment.
I have never been big into military type
stuff but today I found myself lost in military heaven. I was eager to learn about
the array of amazing aircraft and found
myself in a trance gazing at the planes
moving faster than the speed of sound,
defying gravity.
I was almost brought to tears, or maybe
that was just the effects of staring into the
sun for a couple of hours. Neither words
nor my photos can do these extremely talented pilots justice. I just know, attending this event has reminded me of what an
inspiring country we live in and has given
me the sudden urge to travel in a plane at
600 to 700 miles per hour. I would hitch a
ride in one of those any day!

Right: Navy jet soars above the clouds.
Blue Angels, these guys are my heroes!
The Blue Angels have been in flight since
the 1940's continually advancing their aircraft to be faster and more precise. The
team consists of six of the most highly
trained pilots in the country. The commanding officer of the team is required to
have 3,000 hours of tactical jetflighthours
and flies the number one jet. The other
five members are required 1,200 tactical
jet flight hours and man jets two thru six.
Since 1946 The Blue Angels have flown
for over 393 million fans.

�CSUSM Cross C ountry Toam
prepares f or Nationals
BY HEATitER M. ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the regional competition
right around the corner, both the
men's and women's cross country teams are working hard to
keep up their top 10 rank. The
regional competition is to be
held in Fresno on November
fifth. This day will ultimately
determine which teams within
the region will then move on to
Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky just a few weeks later.
The cross country team is
part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA). This allows the team to
go up against several divisions
of athletes and more importantly
the best competition. According to head coach Steve Scott,
"With better competition our
teams will get pulled to faster
times."
The men and women compete at several invitationals
and following each meet they
are ranked according to their
times. The cougars have had
four meets so far and as of last
week the men's team is ranked
eight and the women's team is
ranked sixth. At the regional
competition the first place team
moves on to nationals along
with the top 20 teams according
to their rank following the meet.
With both teams already ranking within the top 10, they are
confident that nationals will be

in their near future.
At the nationals competition
the top four teams place out of
27 that qualified. Steve Scott
commented, "Talent wise I think
both teams have the ability to
place at nationals." According
to Steve the real trick is being
able to have all your athletes run
their best race all in the same
day. It's about being prepared
mentally and physically and
experience always helps ease
the nerves. Steve explained,
"We have the potential and
that's all you can hope for when
going into a national meet."

Pugh comes to CSUSM from
Mission Bay high school, where
he has spent 26 years in varying
positions such as head baseball
coach, head football coach, and
athletic director.
I am particularly thrilled about
the hiring of Dennis Pugh, not
only because he brings an established presence to a new program,
but because I know what kind of
person he is.
Over the past two years while
I have been writing for the San
Diego Union-Tribune I have
covered Mission Bay football a
couple of times. In fact, one of
the first football games I ever
covered was a Mission Bay game.
Mission Bay lost that day 20-19
Take current CSUSM student
Fernando Brown who played
football at Mission Bay for Pugh,
"It's going to be like Charlie
Weiss going to Notre Dame."
Commented Brown on the impact
that he thinks Pugh will have here
at CSUSM.
Milo and Pugh will both be
working part time this semester
as they begin the transition from
their current jobs to recruiting
and building the new programs at
CSUSM.
Once again, I commend Athletic Director, Dr. Nichols, and
the University for selecting two
well deserving coaches to lead
CSUSM into new territory.

Escape to reality
BY ERICA DAVIS
Special to The Pride
Reality TV - we all know by
now that's an oxymoron . The plots
and storylines of shows such as
Survivor and The Amazing Race
rival the ones put out by the morning soaps. Even reality shows with
no focus on competition, such as
Extreme Makeover- Home Edition,
have no basis in reality. I've not met
ANYONE personally who had Shea
Homes show up one day and decide
to give them a new house full of
all the coolest new Sears appliances. I used to think gossip was
the link between all of these shows.
When Johnny Fairplay lied about
his grandmother's death to other
Survivor's, he instantly became the
contestant America loved to hate,
and then talk about for weeks. Reality shows started as water cooler
shows. I've found in my own work
life, few sitcom discussions. Rarely
does someone ask if I've seen the
latest episode of Law and Order
and yet many friends and cowork-
ers love to gossip about the newest
argument to erupt on a Swedish hillside on The Amazing Race, albeit
in more hushed tones these days.
These competitive shows, such
as Big Brother, that often involve
some sort of "on-screen" romance
draw viewers in. As if we were all
in High School again watching a
couple break-up in the hallway; we
like talking about it. There is something very realistic about the way
we REACT to these shows, even if
they are completely staged. So, if
it is gossip driving the competitive
shows, then why does a non-competitive show, like Home Makeover strike a chord? Ironically, it's
because it IS providing an escape
from reality . The "dream shows,"
enable us to imagine that we too
could have that new 7 bedroom, 6
bath house complete with a recording studio for the 13 year old son
and brand new Expedition in the
driveway. IF our personal struggle
is sad enough to win the network's
attention, that is. Gone are the days
where your life's suffering meant a

plentiful afterlife, but now Ty Pennington in your front yard with a
bull horn screaming "Move that
bus!" Instant, earthly rewards!! It
gives you a reason not only to root
for the underdog, but to want to BE
the underdog. But, as the old saying
goes, it only takes one bad apple to
rot the whole barrel and for those of
us dedicated Make-Over and Race
fans that've been around since the
beginning, we're the new lepers,
"reality TV people." The very term
"reality TV" suggests your viewing standards are sub-par. With
mindless and degrading shows such
as "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire Midget," and "I Want to
be a Hilton," programming itself
has been degraded and I'm even
ashamed to be included in the reality
TV watching demographic because
everyone assumes each show is like
the worst show out there. I feel the
pain of soap opera fans everywhere.
The folks I see who have followed
Luke and Laura and don't want to
admit it out loud. Yes, Reality TV
watchers have been thrown down
to the floor as well - and so unhappily. It wasn't always this way and
perhaps that is why it stings. People
assume I'm unable to discern quality from crap. Half the time I don't
even defend reality TV anymore,
I'm too embarrassed. Art is subjective, I want to yell. But, reality TV
is not art, I remind myself. So, privately I watch The Amazing Race
and publicly talk about that other
great CBS show, CSI - because that
stuff totally happens in real life!

Then I saw the pumpkin people.
Someone digs out the stem of this natural fruit and shoves
artificial hair into it, They paint on a facial expression, and
give it a tag with a common human name to finish off the
transformation.
The pumpkin person I found had face-planted into the
other gourds. Its 'teeth' were chipped as a result of this and
it only had half a lip left. It had grey 'hair' and the name
'Jack'.
The tag actually said 'Hello, my name is Jack. I love
risky adventure! I'm clever, spunky, and always on the go
go go! Let's rock and roll!'
I looked at it and realized that no normal person would
ever buy this pumpkin, now that the tumble had made it
defective.
As I stared at the chunks of humanness missing from
Jack's 'face', I felt the sudden realization that there was
justice in the world after all. Jack wasn't ugly or defective. He was simply fighting against
mankind's
tendency
to infringe upon
nature.
He
was
screaming 'I'm not
going
to
stand
for
being dolled
up like I have
a
freaking
vagina! I'm a
pumpkin for god's
sake!'
And so I bought him.

: fbiiowinl Letter t otinif
Editor from a local
^¡¡¡¡H
ts^^S
Dear Editor Long:
As a local resident and taxpayer, I was disturbed (to say the
least) when reading the recent
"article" in The Pride Online Edition titled "Race and Class Discrimination in Relief Efforts."
This article, written by Christine Vaughan, was hardly a true
news story but rather an editorial. As such, is should have been
located in the Opinion section of
the newspaper.
The author states as fact the
conspiratorial speculations of
activist professors. As scary as
it is that such non-academics are
actually paid by the tax-payer to
peddle such ridiculous theory and
ideology, it is even more disturbing that their rants are conveyed
as fact to the student body.
For example, the lead in to the
article states "The forum focused
on the ongoing racial discrimination, 'hyper-segregation', institutionalized class inequity and
I have a problem with an article
how Katrina is being considered
a man-made disaster." A more
honest article would have made it
abundantly clear how such beliefs
are rather the opinion of a very,
very small minority ("minority"
referring to segment of the population smaller than
50%... not a person's ethnicity)
who have little non-biased data to
support their theories.
The "Blaming the Victims"
section reeks of propaganda and
is an obvious attempt to shape
the beliefs of an impressionable
student body rather than to report
facts. A fact is that Dr. Elise
made certain assertions—not that
those assertions are facts.
The article continues to supposedly deal with the issue of
racism in the United States.
However, the
only fact that it seemed to
accurately portray is that certain
professors at CSUSM, who make
their livelihood off peddling the
perception that white racism is
the cause of all problems associated with non-white communities, are ardent and devout racists
themselves.
For instance, in the "White
Racism Still Exists" section of
the article, Dr. Moon is quoted as
saying,
"For white students there's
a different cost for racial consciousness; (they) are likely to be
ostracized by the white community. White people can be ruthless and they can be ruthless to
their own."
This statement, if reported
accurately, is demonstrative of
the foul stench of racism that
is emitted from certain faculty members at CSUSM. Dr.
Moon obviously has engaged in
an blatant over-generalization
about "white people"—a generalization that is hardly rooted in
fact. Instead, this generalization
is obviously, to even the most
untrained observer, an ignorant
attempt to attribute one person's
biased views to an entire population.
The article reports that numerous white members of the audience got up and left during the
discussion, and then continues by
quoting a student who attributes
the mass exodus to the student's
inability to deal with what is
considered "real" about racism.
Could it be, however, that white
students left because of the antiwhite bias that was obviously
at the heart of the discussion?
Rather than seeking to get to the
root ofthe problem (the "problem"
referring to the disproportionate
number of African-American citizens who were affected by Hurricane Katrina), the professors
were merely there to advocate an
extreme, negative and order-line
anarchistic approach to dealing
with issues that have an alleged
racial component. The reader
need only refer to the final line of
the article: An audience member
commented, "we're in college
now and this is where we learn to
fight. That is what I've learned."
Additionally, I find it interesting that Dr. Moon chose the
"American Renaissance" as an
example of the hatred put forth
towards African-American victims of Hurricane Katrina. Being
a strong conservative myself, and
reading and writing quite often
about a number of issues related
to race, policy, and government,
I found it interesting that an
obscure, racist publication such
as the "American Renaissance"
was being used to portray the
beliefs of white people. As a
matter of fact, I had never even
heard of the
"American Renaissance" prior
to it being mentioned in the article.
Perhaps it is because I do not
frequent racist websites...websites where some professors from
CSUSM obviously go to get their
"facts" on white America. The
fact that this online magazine
was referred to as
a magazine of "conservative
white racial views", while technically correct (according to American Renaissance's own descrip-
»
tion of itself), is hardly accurate
in depicting the general c onsent
sus beliefs of white conservative
Americans.
Perhaps this is yet another fine
example of professors coming to
conclusions and then seeking out
facts to meet their pre-conceived-«
notions.
I would appreciate it if the editorial staff would take greater
care in the future to make sure
that facts are reported as facts,
and ideas, theories, or specula-*
tion be reported appropriately.
For instance, perhaps when the
author reports that Dr. Sharon
Elise reports "statistical facts and
public misconceptions" she could
provide examples of those facts.
I would be very interested to see
where those "statistics" originate
from.
Thank you for your time. I
look forward to reading a more
professional version of The Pride '
in the coming months.
Perhaps next month you could
take the same exact story and
re-print it with all of the races
flipped. White would become
black and black or African-Amer- *
ican would become white. Then
read the article again and tell me
if it passes the "there's a racist in
our midst" smell test.
Sincerely,
Marcus Dexter

Malone of Antonio Island pillaged and murdered the inhabitants of the island with a stale
deal. Elizabeth, along with many
others, is killed and seeks later
revenge on the family members

to the island with seemingly
unnatural patterns and carries
the pledge, "Blood for Blood."

are systemically killed. The fog
finally lifts when Tom Malone is
killed for this great-grandfather's
treachery with Elizabeth becoming a part of the fog.
Wainwright unfortunately uses
special effects in place of dialog
and story. Much of the action
is indeed scary but that is only
because of loud music and knocking. Many in the audience were
laughing about some of the socalled scary moments. Much of
the dialog comes across flat and
ridiculous with little or no feeling and inflection. A great movie
enables the audience to become
emotional involved with the
actors and action. In this movie
however the audience has a profound detachment from the action
as if it was a silly and unimportant event. Not to mention that
some special effects looked a
little too unreal and one knew
it was a special effect or a poor
planned one. While some effects
looked poorly planned, other special effects looked realistic and
held extraordinary power.
The audience seemed disappointed with the lack of concrete
story, dialogue, and audience
empathy, though some of the
special effects dazzled the eyes.
The Fog was almost a complete
disappointment but it did have its
redeeming value.

As the air turns
crisp, autumn brings it's
predominate colors of red and oranges.
Julian, a quaint mountain retreat located
among pine and oak-covered hills of San
Diego, is a perfect weekend getaway. This
rustic mining town settled over 100 years
ago with a small population still today of
only 1,300.
This small mountain community is
known for its fruit orchards and country
charm. Stay in one of the many bed and
breakfasts and enjoy endless amounts of
'good oF home' cooked meals. With the
ovens running around the clock and the
sprawling apple orchards it's only natural
that Julian is home of award winning apple
pies. Apple Fest runs from September to
mid November that brings crowds from all
over the United States to hand pick their
very own apples.
Along the winding roads of Julian you
can find homemade jam stands, antique
shops and small boutique restaurants.

Hurt

Women in abusive
relationships
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
When choosing a partner, why do
some of us behave like outright masochists, seeking pleasure in pain?
How else could we describe people
who stay in relationships filled with
physical/verbal abuse, unyielding
selfishness, or plain, old-fashioned
oppression?
Often dismissed with pity, disdain,
or indifference, it's important to note
that, of those who 'get out', many
inevitably wind up back in similar
situations without fully understanding why.
In asking around, the Pride discovered some interesting similarities between people on the short end
of such arrangements. The women
interviewed seemed to understand
logically that their relationships
were not satisfying, but that something emotional, or otherwise hard
to place, kept them from making
better choices.
Sonia Ruiz, an assistant professor
at CSUSM's psychology department,
shared some interesting insights;
"The most important thing to
remember is not to 'blame the
victim' and to look outside the box
at all the factors involved."
Pride asked Dr. Maureen Fitzpatrick, another of our assistant psychology professors, what some of
the sociological or psychological
factors might be. What would cause
a woman to create and even mainSee HURT AGAIN, page 3

Harlot also highlighted how detrimental pornography is to her
industry. "Pornography is the
antithesis of eroticism" showing
women in suppressive roles with
violence directed toward them,
mentioned Harlot. Such representations put her line of work in
harm's way.
In the 27 years in the profession, Harlot has worked for massage parlors, call-girl companies,
within social circles and independently serviced private clientele.
She has been a victim of rape
and believes that through legalizing the prostitution business
laws and regulations can provide
security to the workers preventing violence from manifesting.
"Sex work is a noble and risktaking profession" said Harlot.
Her mission has been to be an
advocate for sex workers and
their allies pushing to decriminalize prostitution and make it a
shameless profession. For more

information on evaluations and
stated that he did not bring up
that topic.
"I've not had enough exposure
(to von Son) to know if he is a
good teacher," said Yanez. Yanez
also stated that he is unaware
of the administration holding
the Spanish language in higher
importance than the 'Mexican
language'. Also, he was hot
aware of which staff and faculty
were subpoenaed. Yanez is also
unaware if the administration is
trying to discipline von Son, as
stated in the article.
As for the two teachers that
von Son is currently seeking
legal action against, they are both
female, as opposed to the statement in the article of one male
and one female.
According t o a ' North
County T imes' a rticle f rom
Oct. 12, von Son is pursing legal
action against California State
University San Marcos Board of
Trustees, for his denial of tenure
and claiming harassment against
two faculty members, Sylvia
Rolle and Jill Pellettieri.
As for von Son's tenure, Yanez
stated that he is not in the position to make a decision one way
or the other.
"His behavior should be looked
at (for tenure)," said Yanez. He
went on to say, "If you're going to
support him, know this is going
on.
"I interacted with him on a personal level," said Yanez. Yanez
has a working history with von
Son which includes the upcoming movie "Ofrenda Desnuda".
Yanez explained that his motives
for coming forward were to
inform students, staff and faculty
of his experience with von Son.
"Get informed, make an
informed decision," Yanez said.
As for the affects of the open
forum, Yanez explained that he
has had a lot of students go to him
to express gratitude for coming
forward. Yanez believes it is
easier for men to come forward
with information since it* can be
embarrassing for women to talk
about sexual harassment.
An a rticle published in
t he "North County Times',
on Oct. 12 said, "charges in
the lawsuit he (von Son) filed in
December 2003 that two fellow
professors sabotaged his chances
to get tenure by submitting 'false
and defamatory' material to the
university's peer review committee on tenure." The article went
on to say that "Superior Court
Judge Michael Orfield has
refused to dismiss the case"
even though Cal State San
Marcos has denied all claims
made by von Son.

The blood drive welcomed the public
as well as students, but on Wednesday
these first seven donors were students,
and for the majority of them, it was their
first time, said Nixon.
Many students may wonder about what
happens to their blood after it's donated.
When asked about the trip blood donations take, Nixon explained, "There is a
lab they (The San Diego Blood Bank)
send it to for testing... It can take one
week (for testing)." Nixon said all the
blood donations are tested for safety
before they are released for use in medical facilities.
Gonzalez informed the Pride that
blood donations can be broken down
into plasma, palettes, and red blood cells
while at the lab.
Nixon also explained that the component selected influences how the donation is preserved, but that in its raw state
blood donations are put in the refrigerator and can last for 42 days.
If others wonder what happens if the
blood donation is not used in 42 days,
they might consider what Mary WalterBrown said in her Pride interview last
week: "Hospital patients depend on
blood donations every three seconds... it
saves lives."
Apparently it is unlikely that the donations collected at our school will not be
used.
Nixon assured students that The Blood
Mobile visits CSUSM fairly regularly,
and we can be certain that they will be
back in the near future.

H URT AGAIN, from page 1
tain these unhealthy patterns?
"From the research it appears women,
move from one bad relationship to another
for many different reasons. One is a lack
of a good father (or father figure) when
they are growing up. Another is coming
from an abusive home—one in which the
developing child either was abused or witnessed abuse. Some women have learned
that abuse in a relationship is 'normal' and
so they don't try to get out."
Speaking further with students confirmed much of this, however, a number
of them had their own personal reasons
for staying in unhealthy relationships. For
some it was simply a lack of self-esteem,
making them feel as though they deserved
the treatment they get because they are
either not pretty, or smart enough to get
anything better. Others even seemed to
love the drama of a rocky relationship,
that without it the relationship would be
too boring.
This may remind readers of something
stand-up comedian Chris Rock once said,
that if you're in a boring relationship. * .it's
probably a good one.
An episode of the popular show, "Sex
and the City" also touches on this issue
when, during the course of an apparently
healthy relationship, the character Carrie
is suddenly awakened with panic attacks.
She comes to realize that they are an
extreme reaction brought about by being
so unaccustomed to a lack of drama.
Recently^ a friend of this reporter who,
after four years, finally built up the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship,
found herself in a new and somewhat
worse one.
One night, while this new boyfriend
was away at a USC game, he began sending abusive text messages because she
had missed one of his calls. He began to
accuse her of cheating on him, along with
anything else he could say to make her feel
guilty. She was obviously heart-broken
and at a loss with what to do. Unfortunately this was not an isolated event, but
had rather become a routine in their relationship.
According to Oceanside's "Women's
Resource Center" and Police Department,
this boy was showing behavior characteristic of a batterer.
I n only a few short months, this new
boyfriend had demonstrated six of these
seven signs. Needless to say, this friend
was advised not to take it.
This incident further stresses the

importance of understanding that abusive relationships are not limited to physical abuse. In fact, according to "Woman
Abuse Prevention", emotional abuse is
responsible for long-term problems with
physical health as well as for depression
and anxiety.
Those having trouble recognizing or
ending unhealthy relationships are urged
to seek support from family, or local
women's resource centers. That said, concerned readers should be inspired to know
that abuse cycles are neither normal, nor
hopeless.
Another personal acquaintance recently
married a new partner after getting out
of a "masochistic" relationship. Now she
is happier than many of her friends have
ever seen.
When asked what made this partner
so much better, she replied "For one, he
can openly talk to me about his feelings,
where the last guy wouldn't. Secondly,
he's generous and cares about my feelings.
And third, he's grounded, and that makes
me feel secure."
It's vital to understand that not all men
are out to, or willing to abuse you. Another
male friend stated, "I don't care how submissive the girl was, I would never treat
her badly." There are wonderful guys like
this out there everywhere, but it's about
having the self-respect and support to
find them. Ladies, if you don't want to be
mistaken for a masochist, remember that
when it's a power struggle, the last thing
you want to do is hand all the power over.

�Vacation ideas come early
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
Mexico.
Usually, upon mention of this
place, most of us are flooded
with visions of shady nightclubs
packed with individuals who
can't legally drink in the states,
drunkenly flailing their bodies
on small and sweaty dance floors.
We think of dirty streets with
speeding taxis and small children peddling tourist items on
corners. We think of party spots
like Tijuana and San Felipe as the
core of what the country is about,
and of course we remember not
to drink the water there.
And yet, there is much more to
our southern neighbor than what
is displayed in spring break brochures. Mexico is host to a fantastic array of land and water
activities, wildlife preservations,
and a cultural history.
I recently traveled to three different Mexican locations and was
given an even better taste of what
the country truly has to offer.
Mexico takes on an exotic feel
in the daytime to perfectly accent
the vitality of its nightlife. The
activities offered both inland
and on the beaches were of such
a tropical nature that I almost
mistook our surroundings for an
island in the Bahamas.
At Cabo San Lucas, visitors
are invited to first tour the city
jeep, and then explore the bay
by glass bottom boat. These two
means of transportation are sold
in one reasonable package for
individuals and groups. Guides
also ensure that each traveler's
Cabo experience is complete
with the inclusion of on-shore
shopping, dining, and historical
sightseeing, as well as a glimpse
at the ocean life surrounding the
region. I was able to peruse village shops for authentic tanzanite
and fire-blown glass, as well as
snorkel off the coast at El Arco.
A visit to Mazatlan provides
a more vivid look into Mexico's working class. The city is
largely industrial, with outlying
tropical areas—a contrast to the
atmosphere of Cabo San Lucas.
I learned that Mazatlan came
under historic settlement by the
Spanish in 1531 who sought to
export the gold and silver produced there at the Sierra Madre
mines. Because of this, there are
no ancient ruins to see at Mazatlan. The city's main attractions
are its aquariums, Iglesia de San
Sebastian, and the 40-foot high
cliff, El Mirador, which hosts
cliff diving shows twice daily
when weather permits. Primarily, the tourist sites at Mazatlan
are products that showcase the
labor of its citizens.
Lastly, the scenic atmosphere
and cultural prevalence of Puerto
Vallarta provides a semi-indus-

trial, semi-exotic blend of both
Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan.
The terrain there takes a dramatic shift from warm water
beach surfaces to severe mountain regions, less than 10 miles
inland. With the mountains surrounding this oasis, Puerto Vallarta exists in peaceful isolation.
The lasting impressions of the
city were made by its accessibility
to shopping, dining, and lounging, as well as the friendliness of
the citizens. Puerto Vallarta has
a newer face than Mazatlan, but
still contains the authenticity of
a Mexican culture. Visitors are
given the opportunity to watch
and learn salsa dancing at the
Malecon Main Square in down-
town, tour Elizabeth Taylor's
9-bedroom 11-bathroom house
at Casa Kimberley, and explore
mountain wildlife on horseback.
Banderas Bay also provides snorkeling, dolphin swimming, and
parasailing.
Given these descriptions, one
might turn away in disbelief that
all of these glorious sights are
encompassed in the nation of
Mexico, but it is true.
There is a lasting culture that
continues to thrive beyond the
TJ's nightclubs, and I urge everyone to experience it. An escape
to the real Mexico can broaden
one's cultural horizon beyond
that of only the states, or namely,
Southern California.

Stacy Goldstein is a person that
if you ever get a chance to know
you will understand why she has
such an impact. Her dreams and
goals are sure to blow you away.
Stacy recently graduated from
California State San Marco with
a double major in communication
and sociology. She spent a year in
England through the study abroad
program at Cal State San Marcos
by herself, to expand her mind and
meet new people.
Stacy's real passion lies in her
music and using her word to get
through to people. Stacy goes
by the name Miz Liberty and has
gained tremendous attention as
a white female rapper. She says,
"I'm a feminist political rapper
and use education as my weapon."
Miz libertyfinishedherfirstalbum
called Liberation, and it is now*
available at any local Music Traders. Miz Liberty puts on shows at a
local place called Longshots.
One of her first songs" was "First
Woman President" off her Liberation CD. This song talks about
being the first woman president,
which is Miz Liberty's all-time
goal in the future, to be the first
woman President. She has taken
things she has learned in college
and applied them in her music and

Athletics
Program
on the Rise
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Now that
the
World
Series
is
almost over
I am going
to need an
e v e r yd ay
sport to keep
me
busy
during idle moments. I love
football season, but having
games two days a week just
doesn't do it for me. Thankfully
my favorite reality show begins
in one week when the basketball season tips off.
Just like every other basketball fan, I have some predictions on what is going to happen
this year.
Now let me start off slowly
with some easy predictions.
Sometime between now and
Nov 3: An NBA player will
be charged with possession of
marijuana. He will then use a
creative excuse when he claims
he was just holding it for a
friend.
Sometime between Nov. 1
and Nov 7: The Phil Jackson,
Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille
O'Neal triangle of hate will
dominate the headlines again,
when Shaq opens his yap and
instigates reporters to beat this
story to death once again.
Nov. 2 (The Indiana Facers
first game): Ron Artest will be
^
The CSUSM athletics program is
continuing to grow with the addition
of softball and baseball in the spring
of 2007. According to Athletics
Director, Dr. Stephen Nichols, there
has already been an abundant amount
of interest regarding the teams.
"I'm receiving phone calls, emails,
snail mail, even skills tapes from in
and out-of-state regarding the teams.
There seems to be lots of interest
which is great," explained Dr. Nichols.
The recently named coaches, Jennifer Milo for softball and Dennis Pugh
for baseball, have informally begun
recruiting. The ideal roster is about
20 ladies and 30-35 men. Dr. Nichols explained that after the recruiting
cycle, it will be up to the coaches if an
actual try-out will be held.
The teams will be a part of the
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Other schools
that will be competitive within this
association include Point Loma Nazarene, Biola, and Azusa Pacific. As
the schedule is still being put together
for the spring of 2007, CSUSM will
aim to play other Division II and III
schools including USD and UCSD.
One of Dr. Nichols' goals is to
raise money for scholarships, for the
upcoming athletics teams. As of now,"
partial scholarships are offered to
some athletes. A greater scholarship
may be awarded at the coach's discretion and based on the total endowment
for the team.
A further addition to CSUSM's athletics program will be taking place
next fall, with men's and women's
soccer teams. The name of the chosen
coach has been withheld at this time,
due to their current contract elsewhere. The soccer teams will also
begin recruiting, hoping to gain a
roster of 18-20 athletes per team.
Dr. Nichols has high hopes for the
future of the athletics program. His
vision is to see the addition of women's volleyball, swimming, diving,
water polo, and tennis, all in due time.
As for now, he explains, "There is no
shortage in work in preparing for the
new coaches and teams, but it really
is fun."

suspended for the rest of the
year when he gets in a fight
with a water boy who looked at
him the wrong way.
Nov. 2: Kobe Bryant returns
to the Denver area to play the
Nuggets...well lets just leave
that one alone.
Nov. 18: The Atlanta Hawks
defeat the New Orleans Hornets, to win their first game,
putting their record at 1-8.
Dec. 25: Before the Lakers
versus Heat game on Christmas
day, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant,
and Shaquille O'Neal will celebrate Christmas together. Phil
will only bring one present to
the gathering. Shaq and Kobe
will then lash out at one another
in the newspapers over who
deserves the gift more.
Jan. 7: The Atlanta Hawks
win their second game of the
season, putting their record at
2-29.
Jan 12: The Pistons return
to the scene where they lost
last season's NBA finals in San
Antonio. The Pistons lose this
game, but the Spurs lose Tim
Duncan when he attempts to
block a Ben Wallace dunk and
is lost in Ben's enormous fro.
February 6: 6-0, 165 pound
Allen Iverson dunks on 7-6,
310 pound Yao Ming. Realizing he is an embarrassment to
the center position, Yao tries
his luck at another sport and
becomes the world's tallest
jockey.

March 2-5: In the four day
span, the Bulls and Cavaliers
play twice and ESPN will compare LeBron James to Michael
Jordan 985,041 times.
April 9: The Clippers sweep
the season series against the
Lakers, causing the city of Los
Angeles to think the Apocalypse is upon us.
April 19: The Atlanta Hawks
lose the final game of the regular season to the Cleveland
Cavaliers. They end the season
at 2-80 causing NBA commissioner David Stern to banish
them to the WNBA.
Okay, now that the easy predictions are done with, here are
the tough ones.
I believe the Miami Heat will
win the Eastern Conference
title. Shaq and Dwyane Wade
is the most lethal combo in the
NBA. Not to mention the Heat
went out and acquired Gary
Payton, Antoine Walker, Jason
Williams, and James Posey.
They also had a very good draft
acquiring Wayne Simien and
Matt Walsh. Some people claim
that too many superstars will
cause disharmony. I disagree
because I believe all of these
guys know that they NEED to
dish the ball to Shaq or Wade.
In the Western Conference,
I like the San Antonio Spurs,
because they are*the definition
of what a team should be. Their
entire team is back and they
have acquired Michael Finley
and Nick Van Exel. The Spurs
also had an excellent draft
acquiring Jawad Williams and
Stephen Graham.
Now for the awards. For the
MVP I see Jason Kidd making a
run at it this year, if he can stay
healthy. He now has running
mates for a full season in Vince
Carter and Richard Jefferson. I
also see LeBron making a run
at the award, if he can get the
Cavaliers into the playoffs. For
rookie of the year I see Hakim
Warrick of the Grizzlies flourishing in his first year. He has
the abilities and stature that
usually produce great rookie
years. The most improved team
this season will be the Los
Angeles Lakers, because of
two words: Phil Jackson. The
team with the biggest drop off
this season will be the Phoenix Suns because Amare Stoudemire will be out four months
to start the season. Not to mention it would have been hard to
win 62-games even if Amare
was healthy.
Alright, just to make sure
I get one prediction correct; I
predict that more predictions
from the first half than the
second half of this article will
come true.
Story suggestions, questions,
comments, or concerns can be
sent to Sando026@csusm.edu.
Thank you to those of you that

�Prop 73, a return to reason
By Lee Joseph Mitchell
I realize I'm in the minority
most of the time, me being a
religiously
conservative,
predominately
Caucasian,
among a mixed bag of leftist college hippies who think
they have to challenge every
concept or establishment, but
luckily for me, the minority is
growing. Decency seems to
be making a comeback. On
the ballot this Nov. 8 will be a
piece of legislation that could
possibly be an indication of
a regression back to the days
when morality and common
law were synonymous.
I have always felt abortion
is perhaps one of the most
heinous acts of violence and
ungodliness one could perpetrate, and I am vehemently
opposed to its prevalence
among American society, but
I would vote any day of the
week for a woman's right to
choose (as long as the abortion is with in thefirsttrimester. Partial birth abortion is
something altogether different, biologically speaking).
I believe that a minor—an
individual under the age of
18, and considered by the
legal system to still be under
the care and supervision of
their parent or legal guardian—-is neither sufficiently
responsible nor mentally
prepared for the very serious decisions involved with
issues of adulthood (I would
even venture to say that most
under the age of 25 are of the
same character). That a 14year-old girl could have an
abortion without the consent
or notification of her parents
prior-to—when the removal
a of bunion from the toe of
that same child requires written parent approval—seems
unimaginable, but hey, this
is California, a state in which
a Superior Court Judge ruled
that the mention of God in
the Pledge of Allegiance is
unconstitutional. Parents are
wholly responsible for the
welfare of the child, as long
as that child is under the age
of 18, but it seems that society, or at least that of California, has decided that matters
that could affect the life of
that child are matters of 'privacy and personal choice'.
Children have neither the
faculties nor the privilege of
making such choices without the participation of their
guardians. While a parent
can't prevent their child from
engaging in promiscuity (any
more than the sound teachings of church and family
can), matters that involve
medical attention and surgi-
cal operations do require, in
all other circumstances, the
consent and notification of the
parents. Why then is something as life-altering as abortion so different? The abortion may not, at first glance,
significantly change the life
of the young girl, but it most
certainly affects the life of
the unborn child within her.
The answer is simple. We
as a society have decided to
preach to our children, not
a message of morality and
personal responsibility, but
instead the venom of promiscuity and self-gratification. Now, if one has sex
and—oops!—get's pregnant,
instead of taking care of
the child, the result of one's
choices already made, we can
simply "undo" the mistake!
A redo, if you will. Suddenly,
childbearing has become
something of a game in which
abortion is the quick fix to a
night of passion absent of
reason. Being an individual
that came quite close to being
aborted (thanks to my grandmother, Voila! The miracle
of birth occurred after all), I
think it's important to stress
that abortion isn't a solution
for a mistake, but a medical
operation that should be used
only in the case of a medical
emergency; when the life of
the mother is in danger.
But a teenager doesn't
understand this.
It's not
theirs to understand. They're
not supposed to be dealing
with such weighty issues.
These are items of adult proportions, which require the
faculties found exclusively
among reasonable adults—
the parents of these troubled
youths. In California, however, a parent's consent is not
needed for a minor, even a 13 year-old to have an abortion.
Still, at the least, the parent
should be notified, should
be privy to such information
before the abortion. Some
may say that such required
notification is still an invasion of privacy, but minors
don't have such rights, and
such has been demonstrated
in cases involving eavesdropping and the like, which are
more obvious occurrences of
an 'invasion of privacy'. In
order to be under the care and
supervision of one's parents,
there simply cannot be such
blockades to understanding.
If parents are expected to
morally and emotionally support their daughter in such a
time of distress, they should
be given fair notice of such a
course of action.
The reasons for this exception to common medical prac-
tices are quite clear; thefirstis
that we want, as a society, to
promote the sexually liberal
ideals of our licentious youth,
and second, we are always
attempting to treat children
as adults. The availability
of "morning-after" pills is
the proliferating message o f
cleaning-up, rather than dealing with, the "mistakes" of
one's behavior. Many argue
that 'we shouldn't punish a
young woman for mistakes
she's made; making her deal
for life* with an ill-thought
out decision of her youth',
but, and excuse me, the conception and development of
a fertilized egg into a human
being is not a 'mistake', it is
nature and
Please, help bring back
some reason to this state
of radical leftists that strip
away, year-by-year, more and
more of the vital fabric that
keeps families intact. Return
to the parents their right to
know; honor their rights as
the caretakers and fountains
of emotional support of their
children, return back to the
parents what has always
been theirs, the right to know
about the medical condition
and welfare of their children.
Please, vote yes on 73.

�Have a "Good Night, and Good Luck."
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
"Good Night, and Good
Luck" has every quality a film
should have that would make
you remember and applaud it.
It chronicles the initial steps
of Senator Joseph McCarthy's
downfall, beginning with numerous reports from "See It Now,"
anchor Edward R. Murrow
(David Strathairn). Despite cynical criticism and abandonment
by sponsors, Murrow and his
producer Fred Friendly (George
Clooney) push forward to expose
a corrupt, lying government.
That's a simple enough plot to
last ninety three minutes. However, "Good Night, and Good
Luck" makes you forget the
length and focus on the more
intriguing aspects, such as the
performances, the cast, and the
authenticity.
The performance of Strathairn
is the most memorable. He is not
just portraying a real person, but
resurrecting Murrow to a new
light and a new generation. It
would be a shame if Strathairn
received anything less than an
Oscar nomination. Even though
Clooney also gives a fine performance, I'd rather remember him
as the director of this film rather
than an actor.
Once known as an actor who
only accepts leading roles, in
"Good Night, and Good Luck"
Clooney gives his film and his
cast the opportunity to shine
instead of him. He creates the
film in standard black and white
to give a real feel for the time
period. He even uses archive

footage of McCarthy himself,
instead of an actor. The set design
of the offices and the newsrooms

like to work at CBS back then?"

on my list of films with the best

It seems obvious that the film
is giving one lesson and one message. The lesson is that what we
went through in the past is likely
to occur again. The film urges
us to learn from our past to predict the future. The message is
that there is a connection with
the McCarthy years to our current leadership. Murrow's report
quotes William Shakespeare,
"The fault, dear Brutus, lies not
within our stars but within ourselves."

BYLIZZ OSBORNE
Pride Staff Writer
Faculty

f ilmmaker
Jonathan
Berman
will present his latest
film, "ComJonathan Berman mune", free
and open-to
the public in Arts Building room
240, on Wednesday, Oct. 26, at 7
p.m.
The official press kit states,
"Sometimes it takes a village to
blow your mind," this is certainly
true of the village presented in
"Commune." The film, which
followed a group of young idealists at the influential Black Bear
Ranch, in Siskiyou County, where
they aimed to reshape the world
with free love, common property,
and the excited controversy of
fear amongst local residents.
Premised on the idea of Free
Land for Free People, and
financed Hollywood rock stars,
the founders of Black Bear
bought land deep in the wilderness and raised a rough-hewn
homestead. Over the years, hun-
"Extraordinary Machine"
dreds would join the community,
and life would be complicated by
conflicts about the role of women,
child rearing, proper behavior,
and most traumatically, a childsnatching cult. The film gave us
a revealing look at how our most
basic choices about family, work,
and the nature of our relationships send powerful and lasting
shock waves through the fabric
of society.
According to Berman, "The
theme of the film, in my opinion, is 'go for it, go for your
dreams, but be sure to not get
too carried away by them.' You
see this in the film with the
Commune on the one hand,
who is going for it, and the cult
who challenge their existence."
The cast includes Peter Coyote,
Michael Tierraandinternationally
renowned painter Elsa Marley.
Jonathan Berman's previous
films, "The Shvitz" and "My
Friend Paul" have aired on Sundance Channel, PBS, Discovery,
ARTE, Trio and other networks
that have screened theatrically
and at numerous festivals around
the world. Critics have praised
Berman's "searing celluloid portraits" as "crackling with energy"
full of "swagger and style," and
"gritty and funny."

the content of Extraordinary

frightening holiday season, Fredericks of Hollywood is a great place
to start. Located in Mission Valley,
Escondido and Carlsbad's Plaza
Camino Real, Fredericks has a variety of sexy costumes such as: the
naughty nurse, sexy cop, and the
always popular French maid, just to
name a few.
Another great place to find a costume this year is at Fun Shop in
San Diego. They carry over 10,000
costumes, costume accessories and
party supplies, you're sure to have
one ghouling party with these stores
in mind. Also Fun ' N Folly, located
on Black Mountain Rd in Poway,

adults and kids, plus an assortment

degree programs, a variety of
new services available throughout campus and university
priorities for Cal State San

argued that lower-priced text
books could be available by
requiring professors to submit
book requests earlier, reducing
rush fees and back-orders, and
DeGuzman noted that many
state governments do not place
sales tax on student books, an
initiative that would save students some money if California would ever consider such a
policy.
The panel, introduced by
DeGuzman, consisted of President Karen Haynes, University Provost Robert Sheath,
Vice President of Finance and
Administrative Services Neal
Hoss, Interim Vice President of
Student Affairs Pat Worden and
CSU Student Trustee Corey
Jackson. The purpose of the
event was intended to inform
students, faculty and staff of the
current conditions of campus
life and its forecast for upcoming years.

welcome. According to Gallegos,
the Turkey. Drive turnout has
always been a success and last
year's count was 13 baskets given
to 13 local families.
"This is a great opportunity

get feedback from the people
who deliver and the response is

are so grateful," said Gallegos.

�New Information on Annual Security Report for CSUSM
BY ALEX LOPEZ
Pride Staff Writer
Chief Aaron Woodward of thé
University Police has informed
us, along with a small green
mailer, that the Gal State San
Marcos annual security report
has gathered crime statistics
within the last three years. These
reports give information on
crimes that occurred on campus,
in certain off campus buildings,
or property owned or controlled
by Cal State San Marcos, and on
public property within. According to Woodward, the report
also includes institutional poli-

her speech promoting academic
excellence, student life, campus
atmosphere, partnerships and
fairness at Cal State San Marcos.
Reflecting on short and long term
campus goals, President Haynes
hopes that "Cal State San Marcos
will be known for its retention of
graduation rates and student satisfaction."
CSUSM has already implemented a reduced degree requirement to 120 units to be eligible
for graduation, and plans to
further adopt pro-retention rate
polices by encouraging students
to declare their major earlier on
in a student's academic career^
providing detailed academic
roadmaps and improving counseling services to students.
President Haynes focused most
of her time to issues surrounding
the enhancement of student life
on campus through expanding
residence halls, athletic programs
and creating a one-stop shop for
students in Craven Hall. The third
floor of Craven Hall is being converted into a one-stop shop, with
admissions, cashier office, enrollment, The Pride staff office and
other student services, all located
in one general area. The courtyard located on the third floor,
formerly known as the Library
Plaza, will be renamed 'Cougar
Courtyard' and be a designated
area to host events and festivities
on campus.

legacy will and should be built on
the student satisfaction experience here on our campus," concluded President Haynes.
Academic Blueprint
"We are now planning for a
new college," said Robert Sheath,
university provost. New degree
programs are being introduced in
upcoming semesters at CSUSM.
Kinesociology and Biotechnology are among the new degree
programs that were initiated in
Spring and Fall 2005. Occupational Therapy, a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Mass Media and
Broader Studies, Environmental
Studies and a Speech Therapy
degree will be offered in Fall
2006 through the College of Education and Business Administration will soon offer two areas
of emphasis in either Finance or
Marketing.
'Cranovations' and
campus services
Neal Hoss, vice president of
Finance and Administrative Services, asked for campus "patience
in moving a lot ofpeople around,"
in response to the so-called
!cranovations\ (craven renovations). In development of this
student one-stop shop, mentioned
early by President Haynes, Hoss
explained how a website is being
I'm
constructed to help students
familiarize themselves with the
Craven changes.
"We are reworking how we
interact with students," said Hoss.
Cranovations will allow students
to easily access fundamental university services without having
to refer to directories or weave
through Craven Hall.
In addition, Parking Services
has recently opened Lot H welcoming in 111 spaces, and in Fall
2006, Lot F is scheduled t o open
with 1200 to 1600 spaces. In the
year 2010-2011 a parking structure will be built to accommodate 2000-2700 vehicles. These
expansions are funded solely on
a past-student approved initiative to* increase parking fees to
develop more parking spaces.
The second installment of that
prior student vote, will be implemented in Spring 2006, affecting
parking permit costs going from
$35 a month to $75 a month, mentioned Hoss. Such fee increases
are a result of how parking funding is only supported through
student fees and no other funds
can be diverted to subsidized
parking costs.
Touching base on Police issues,
Hoss reported that the University
Police, Department is working on'
communicative strategies focusing on addressing and implementing the services outlined by
the investigative Task Force.
Escort services are now available through the police department, and soon a new crime tips
sex crimes are violations of criminal and civil law, and never tolerated.
"They also constitute serious breaches of student or
employee conduct as well,'' the
website states, and encourages
anyone who has been a victim
of sexual' assault, including date
or acquaintance rape, to report
the incident to the Cal State San
Marcos Police, or any off campus
police.

to 20 categories detailing student
misconduct policies.
Worden explained how the definition of dishonesty was broadened to include cheating, academic plagiarism, falsification of
information, misrepresentation
and falsifying documents. All of
these topics are mentioned in the
terms of the new Title V.
Hazing has been clarified to
differentiate 'customary athletic
events' from true acts of hazing.
The new policy precludes defense
ofwillful participation, apathy or
failure to intervene as charges of
student misconduct. Title V also
includes the misuse of computers

and use of equipment to transmit

104 miles to address the many
issues in CSU, primarily the current issue of funding.
"It's important to understand
we're under-funded due to state

"Higher education needs to be a

willing to sacrifice to ensure
that our voices are being heard.
Aré we going to give more for a

�An evening with the University Police
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
On Saturday October 22,1 was
fortunate enough to participate in
a police 'ride along' with Officer
Troy Holmes of the University
Police.
Sgt. Flores, officer in charge of
the ride along program, showed
me around the station upon
arrival. We toured their locker
and break rooms, and even took
a look at the infamous breathalyzer.
Officer Hernandez of the University Police showed me how the
device operated, as well as how
to perform the state-required routine testing of the machine itself.
After a look at some of the
numerous types of forms and
paperwork, I went with Sgt.
Flores toward the squad cars. The
particular car we looked at came
equipped with plastic backseats,
which Sgt. Flores said "eliminates the possibilities of suspects
hiding contraband in the cushions of the seats." Along with the
numerous safety and road objects
in the trunk of the car, the dashboard and center console had
been turned into a huge radio, in
which the U.P. was able to obtain
signals from all over the greater
San Diego Region.
By seven o'clock I met the
officer I'd be riding with. Officer Troy Holmes greeted me in
the lobby of the building and we
quickly went to his squad car to
prepare for the night shift.
At the beginning of each shift
Officer Holmes inspects the vehicle to ensure that all lights and
functions perform properly, this
includes unloading, inspecting,
and reloading the shotgun.
After contacting dispatch,
Holmes explained that we were
going to "check the campus,
the beat check, and make sure
nothing is out of the ordinary."
We patrolled the campus, and
unlocked a door for a student in
need of a late night recording
room.
Back on the streets, we made
our first stop, pulling over a
truck that made an illegal Uturn on Twin Oaks Valley Rd.
After approaching the vehicle
and talking with the driver,
Holmes returned to the squad car
to retrieve his Citation book. He
issued the man a citation, who
had confessed that he had seen
the sign. Later Holmes noted
that it was a "posted sign and he
didn't obey it," that it is "our job
is to provide a safe environment
for the community" and when the
driver veered across lanes it was
clearly a risk to fellow motorists.
The second stop was rather
amusing. After seeing two men
standing in the road, we noticed a
San Marcos Sheriff parked up the
street, watching them. Holmes

drove up and asked what the deal
was.
Apparently the men had run
their car off the road, and it had
required a tow. Before it was
taken, however, the two men
had scrambled to grab boxes full
of pornography out of the back.
After the towing service left the
men then spilled the box of pornography while attempting -to
carry it across the street. Pornography was scattered across
the streets of San Marcos as the
two men raced to pick it up. We
exited the scene leaving any further involvement up to the discretion of the San Marcos Sheriffs.
Two more routine stops were
made throughout the rest of the
ride along, both for broken tail
lights. Holmes said "it's a slow
night tonight, you should have
been here Thursday, we had our
hands full." Afterwards, Holmes
dropped me off to continue the
rest of his twelve hour shift.
Overall it was a great experience. The University Police are
doing their best to enforce the
law in a safe and fair manner,
not simply issuing tickets. Officer Holmes, Sgt. Flores and the
rest of the staff of the University
Police are helping to create a safe
and positive campus for us to
attend, and help spur the growth
and development of the school as
a whole. I'd encourage students
to help them by being safe and
understanding the law.

The Komen Foundation hot pink
Go™ trailer stopped at Cal State San
Marcos on Friday, Oct. 28, to help
bring breast cancer awareness to
campus. Cal State San Marcos was
the only university that the trailer
set up during the four day "On the
Way to the Cure" tour.
The Komen Foundation local San
Diego affiliate is wrapping up a
four day tour in southern California
according to Katie Parker, community outreach director. The foundation handed outflyersand postcards.
In the trailer there were laptops set
up for people to view instructional
videos on how to detect breast
cancer.
"Early detection of breast cancer
saves lives and is not a death sentence," said Parker. The trailer had
an estimated 150 visitors in a three
hour time period. Parker went on
to explain how signing up on their
Web site will keep students up to
date on issues in Congress that concern breast cancer funding.
The trailer was set up with laptop
computers that played videos on
how to detect early signs of breast
cancer. The videopBSE Brest SelfExam, can be found at the main
website for the Komen Foundation,

feel for lumps during an exam. It
states that women should perform
monthly exams starting at the age of
20. The exams should be done the
same time every month and preferably right after the menstrual cycle.
"Most people know us from
Komen Race for the Cure®. But,
since we began in 1982, the Foundation and its Affiliates have raised
more than $300 million for breast
cancer research, education, screening and treatment. It is credited as
the nation's leading catalyst in the
fight against breast cancer," said the
San Diego Komen Foundation Web
site, www.sdkomen.org.
Nationally, the Komen Foundation sponsors annual walks and a
fundraiser to help raise awareness
and funding for breast cancer. Seventy-five percent of money raised in
San Diego stays here, according to
the Web site. There is a "Race for
the Cure" event scheduled for Nov.
6. More information can be found

BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
there is no way a great male athlete can be gay. It's funny how
that works out.
Female athletes in the past
have already done what Swoopes
has done, so for those of you who
want to make a big deal about
this, it really isn't. Tennis player
Martina Navratilova is probably
the most notable female athlete to
say she likes women.
I am just waiting for the first
male athlete to say he likes dudes
so that this topic can soon go
away, because I am sick of discussing it. If you can ball on the

CSUSM Women's Golf Places 11th
at Monterey Bay
The women's golf team landed in
11th place October 25,2005, at
the Golf Mart/Lady Otter
Invitational, hosted by Cal State
Monterey Bay at the Fort Ord
Golf Course in Seaside. The
course is 73-par,
5,957-yards. The Cougars had
a two-round score of689 (346343). Twenty teams
competed.
Anyways, the one thing that
does interest me about this whole
topic is that Swoopes brings up
the whole debate about whether
or not people are born gay or
turned gay. Swoopes said that
she was not born gay but, rather,
became gay. She was married to a
man at one point and has a child.
This fascinates me because as a
straight guy I have no perspective
on this and I always hear different takes on it. I guess it's one of
those questions that will never be
answered, like what came first,
the chicken or the egg?
The one thing that I don't want
to se8 happen as a result of this
is to see Swoopes with a book
and movie deal. I wouldn't be
surprised, because others have
capitalized after their announcements. Billy Bean capitalized

�The momentum of sloth
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
One thing we know about the Big Seven,
apart from all leading to physical, mental
or emotional satisfaction, is that after Avarice and Gluttony prove too costly, Pride
and Wrath too timely, and Lust and Envy
too likely to be guilty virtues; an idle hand
remains the favored tool.
And who can blame Old Scratch for letting the nails pound themselves in? And
goodness knows there can be counted,
among the faithful and dead, plenty who
envision Paradise as a place free of toil,
with hardly anyone on their feet, hardly
anyone at all.
We can't draw our dualism pistols just
yet though, not till we've truly examined the thrice-saluted snooze button,
the reclined request, and the time killed,
butchered every which way to get out of
kitchen duty. We have to dig the root of
one tree before we can jam the fruit of the
other, and what better vantage point to
start than the hammock swaying serene
between addictive personalities, and personal medication.
Let's start with me, I'll subject myself
to your stares. After all, it's been said
(usually by those spoiled by their own
good looks) that 'shy' people are merely
selfish,
Indeed, couldn't the same be said, and
with greater ease to boot, of those 'slackers', those lie-abouts, those lethargic leisure leeches?
The power in the term 'Lazy' is really
not so passive-aggressive, nor so counterproductive as one might think. I've used it
on myself countless times, both as a way to
turn a subscription into an ailment, and to
preserve my Avarice with a little prodded
Pride. Sometimes, it works, others, I don't.
Make no mistake; I like being productive, I like the rush of achievement and the
glow of study. The danger and the problem and the life of it is: Sloth isn't the
denouncement of work, but the avoidance,
the replacement of work.
And the best way to do that is with other
work.
Study a page or screen other than the
one assigned.
Improve the high score rather than balance the budget.
The danger is that wolfish indulgence
can become sheepish diversion, a soothing
white wash till you smell the clean bleach
burn-away, till you realize how easily,
how Easy for how Quick and Strong, how
something from almost no effort becomes
something with absolutely no interest, and
seemingly no escape.
You're still in the game, but you've left
the zone
You've reached Nirvana ...but you're
still in your rotting body.
This gentle slothe is a deadly decline,
not because it's slippery, but because
we're either water seeking the path of least
resistance, or fire dying to consume-propagate everything, all the while fancying
ourselves as rising steam.
The trick is not to get caught up contemplating womb re-creation retreats," or
buying poverty as a symptom of laziness
like affluence as a symptom of nobility.
Ask yourselves why most people want
money so that they can not worry about
it, while those who have it want it so that
they can get more of it. Ask yourself,
when next someone slaps your idle hand,
if they're more worried you'll forget the
value of their employment, or that you'll
realize the value of your time.
There's no great mystery behind our
unmotivated-epidemic. In fact, it likely
has more to do with efficiency than lethargy. Even ifthe average American is reading, voting, and generally thinking less,
they're realizing that they're still working
more, but that half the effort often gets
the same results. One by one we're noticing that, despite loving our bootstraps
so much more than the rest of the world
(that place where we get our stuff and citizens), 'self-made fortune' still sounds like
an oxymoron. Little by little people, who
need less money to retire than their boss
needs to feel like the boss, are realizing
that "I don't want to" isn't half so scary as
"why should I".
To everyone understandably insulted, or
otherwise threatened by my lack of regard
for their ambition, their awesome and oh so
rare desire to special, I've an offer you can't
refuse. Take a moment to wonder if you're
half the boss you think you are, another
moment for the opposite implication of
that question, and yet another to thank
the masses for not being 'hard-working'
enough to have made your ascent that
much more unlikely. The only trick now
is to make them feel indebted to you, more
interested in your sadly limited money
rather than their currently limited time.
That's right. Currently.
You see, the more time we 'kill' the
more valuable time becomes, the less satisfied we are with 80 years to spend when
it seems we need at least 20 to waste.
Perhaps, on an ambitious note, if doctors
cured our lifespan first, they'd have the
time to cure the rest.
Naturally, there's no end in sight to the
majority held by those who want to live,
but mostly die, supernaturally. But surely
they must realize that pious knees can
also benefit from more time allotted to
lazy asses and big heads.
I believe it was the "Screwtape Letters"
in which a Demon instructed his nephew
on how to bring about a man's fall by convincing him that his time was his own.
Give credit where you will for what you
Will, but ask yourself: does the signature on your paycheck appear on all your
waking hours?
Perhaps we'll never see the day when
everyone takes pride and sometimes
money in all the work and play they do.
Maybe we don't deserve to. It's equally
possible, however, that instead of taking
vacations from our 925s and GPAs, we
might give our toil some time in the numbbubble, and be hurt rather than herded by
the spectacle of those who would long
for the days when they could live like a
slaves^ officially.
Even if it costs us our love affair with
the Last Minute or our dream of having
enough to be afraid that someone higher
will give it to someone lesser, try taking
the carrot off the stick, impaling it with
the pin on your easy chair, and take stock
of how much of you has been made under
your terms, on your time.
We're all afraid of a wasted investment,
but the roots of your boredom and unsatisfying exhaustion need your water a lot
more than your need their fruit.
Student
voices
opinion
on ASI
I must say that on behalf of all of
the prudish conservatives on campus, I
laugh in the face of ASI and the campus
in general.
First, we've got the University Hour. I
understand that ASI wants us to live on a
commune, but for those of us that have to
work for a living, a big chunk out of my
time doesn't exactly work for me.
Why not let us be pro-choice? If I want
to get involved, I will. Why force me
to do something I don't want to? Don't
push your beliefs on me, ASI! It's hard
enough getting by, but having to rearrange everything just so I can build some
relationships with people that I don't
really get along with isn't all that appealing to me.
Second, for a campus that promotes
diversity, I again must laugh; Michael
Moore, Chariot the Harlot, and coming
soon, Peter Camejo. Why is it that when
conservatives come, there is a panel discussion, yet when it's a liberal pushing
their ideals, they just get to "lecture"?
Honestly, I have no problems with lunatics like Michael Moore speaking; he
only embarrasses himself. However,
when my fees go to pay for these loonies
like Camejo, I should at least get someone from the other side. In a case like
this, I must ask: "Where's Ann Coulter,
Michael Medved, Dick Morris, Sean
Hannity?" Where is ASI to raise thousands of dollars to bring one of them to
speak? Answer: no where. I understand
college kids are supposed to be bleedingheart liberals, but I'm more coldhearted.
I don't support the values of ASI, and
I don't support the foolish decisions they
push. For those of you reading this and
find me crazy, just remember that when
you are mugged by reality, I told you so.

m-COMM 316,
One student's experience in the Katrina aftermath
So one of my professors told
me I was an enigma . . . I'm not
sure exactly what he meant - am
I a completely puzzling person
to him? Quite possibly, after all,
my mother's spent a great deal of
her life trying to figure me out,
unsuccessfully (one day she will
give up). The latest puzzle piece
was a trip I t ook... to a disaster
site, in Slidell, LA.
I don't find it that puzzling, but
I guess many people do. For me,
sleeping in a condemned hotel;
on the floor in a ballroom with
60 complete strangers (many of
whom snored) and sharing one
shower... well, what can I say? It
was an awesome use of my vacation time. I took this trip because
I could; I had the necessary support from my bosses, co-workers,
professors, family, friends, and
neighbors. T also had vacation
time on the books and a free round
trip airline ticket in pocket. What
I did was volunteer,my time in
support of an organization that is
central to the relief efforts going
on in Slidell, LA. That organization is Noah's Wish. Noah's Wish
is a unique animal welfare organization dedicated exclusively to
rescuing and sheltering animals
in .disasters. I became affiliated t
with Noah's Wish three years ago
and am a "trained volunteer". In
some disasters the shear size of
the disaster warrants bringing on
board what we call Convergent
Volunteers:
Individuals who are not already
trained. In Slidell the ratio of
convergent volunteers per trained
volunteers was perhaps , 10 to 1.
After the initial 24-hours I was
suddenly a leader (you learn fast!)
then 2-days later I was in charge
of a whole area; rSbbits and birds,
a total of 47 animals.
When I went (Oct 5-15) the
volunteer pool was constantly
changing, one day there were 60
of us, the next 30, (The animal
count hovered around 950) and
that's how things work in a
disaster. One day everything's
great - lots of volunteers, some-
one finds ice available for sale,
the temperature stays below 90,
no one gets injured and all the
cleaning is done by early afternoon. I experienced about 4 of
those day& On other dayp the
temperature kept climbing, the
convergent volunteers had to go
back to their lives, there were no
cold drinks . . and people got
injured. But through it all are
the animals - that's why I went.
There were families coming in
looking for lost p ets... and finding them, there were people visiting their pets daily (their homes
were destroyed), and there were
still animals coming in. Few
were actual rescues, many were
strays found by neighbors and
citizens, and some even came
from other operations that were
shutting down.
Noah's Wish has been onsite
since August 31 and currently
plans to remain until midNovember. In the next week
the 60-day hold on animals will
be lifted (this was set to allow
owners adequate time to reclaim
their animals) and they will be
available for adoption. Some
will be placed into long-term
foster care with approved foster
homes These animals belong to
people who will not be able to
return to their homes any time
soon. Many more have, sadly,
been abandoned. These animals
will be adopted. Already adoption applications are on file for
many of them. Most of the animals that were surrendered by
residents have already been
adopted.* In fact, I adopted a
kitten and brought her home with
me. I've named her KC Squeaks
. . . it's short for Katrina Gat
and well, she doesn't meow, she
squeaks. She will be my daily
reminder of how
lucky I have it here!
The sights of devastation, the
tired expressions on resident's
faces and the smell will be with
me for a long-time. But so will the
feelings of joy as people and animals were reunited. I made some
new friends while volunteering in
Slidell; there is a common bond
between animal advocates. And
my final thoughts on the matter?
Going into the disaster
was filled with frustrations,
fear, and challenge but the
rewards for me would be unobtainable in any comfortable situation. If you have a compassion
for animals and think you might
want to assist Noah's Wish in the
future check out the website and
attend a Volunteer In-Field Training. If, after camping out for 3days and wrestling with
goats, geese, cats, dogs, bunnies, and or snakes etc . . . you
still think you have what it takes,
.then go for it! Your perspective
will change - you will grow - and
you never know, maybe you'll
meet your husband/wife/significant other there, not that I did, but
you might!

�Book uncovers FDR and W WII
BY JASON SAUMUR
Pride Staff Writer
Tricked into War! You're with
us or against us!
These two statements may
sound like hyperbole that President Bush said concerning terrorism or perhaps hyperbole
from 2004 Presidential candidate John Kerry during the 2004
Presidential campaign: however,
these statements are not from this
^decade. The two statements were
said in one-way or another during
Franklin Roosevelt's tenure as
President revealed by the exposé,
FDR: The Other Side of the Coin
by Former New York Senator
Hamilton Fish III.
The book chronicles Fish's
numerous disagreements with
the Roosevelt administration,
chief among them, the refusal
to prevent Hitler's invasion of
Poland during the Danzig Crisis.
What, if any, connection does this
have with the lives of CSUSM
students?- The book invites its
readers to closely examine preconceived notions about FDR's
presidency and his effectiveness
as well as preconceived notions
about cxirrent administration policies.
Using these same principles of
reexamining past events and historical figures, we can apply the
same to the present administra-
tion. The only difference being
that in FDR's time, the Internet
and 24-hour news channels didn't
exist in its current form. Following both the Sept. 11 attacks and
the War on Iraq, several informational sources, books, and
documentaries have called into
question the prevailing wisdom about the
administration's policies, event timeline, and
various political figures.
Fish provides evidence that following the
attack on Pearl Harbor;
he had come to find
out that the Japanese
repeatedly asked the
United States and Roosevelt to accept Japanese
surrender in the months
leading to Pearl Harbor.
Roosevelt refused their
surrender and essentially forced the Japanese to attack Pearl
Harbor on December 7 ,,
1941.
In relation to present day, several reports
including the Senate
Select Committee on
Intelligence's
report
on Weapons of Mass
Destruction reporting during the
lead-up to the Iraq Invasion and
the 9-11 Commission's report
surfaced that contradicts evidence table: History is not completely

was a flamboyant character who
flaunted his dandy character, even
in the small town of Holcomb.
He is soft spoken but speaks his
mind and is direct in everything
he says and asks for.
Clifton Collins Jr. does an
excellent job playing Perry Smith,
a well spoken criminal who captivates Capote. Smith seems to
pull Capote in with charm and

The direction was the second
finest attribute of the film. It felt
like a Norman Rockwell painting
with everybody seemingly enjoying the Americana lifestyle of the
Midwest and big city. This backdrop gives more impact to the
bloody scenes of the murdered
family and how uncommon it

The only trouble with the movie
is the genre. I expected a true
crime movie, but it was a nonfiction based on Capote's point
of view of the murders and trial.
Smith's eloquence and charm, as
portrayed by Capote, is questionable. Capote seems to begin a
romantic relationship with Smith
as he visits him in prison and listens to Smith's personal history.
This relationship almost seems
to be a part of Capote's imagination and it is unclear if Smith
is manipulating him.
I have read that the book 'In
Cold Blood' was to serve two
purposes. One was to
show the lives of the
town in the wake of
the murders and to
stand against capital
punishment. If the
movie had the same
agenda, it didn't
succeed for me. As
scenes of violence
against the family
were flashed on the
screen in memory fragments, I felt no sympathy for the two sentenced men.
This movie is not for
everybody and is probably why it is showing
in a limited number of theaters.
Iin a ou enjoyumber of theatc

movies with little action but great
acting, then this is your movie. If
you only see blockbuster actions

wait for video to see "Capote".
I expect that Hoffman will at
least be nominated for Best Actor,
if not win it. Then the movie will
probably be released
wide. It has a tendency to be slow
and Capote is a
hard character to
listen to for two
hours but Hoffman delivers it

�Forget
'The Legend
of Zorro'
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
Generally, the rule is: the sequel is not
as good as the original. This holds true in
"The Legend of Zorro." You will remember in the original, "The Mask of Zorro",
we were embraced with romance, revenge
and goofball humor. Now everything
has been replaced with a farfetched plot,
dumb characters and never ending fight
sequences that by the 100thflip,punch, kick
and thrust of the sword that I yawned.
The farfetched plot: Don Alejandro de
La Vega a.k.a. Zorro (Antonio Banderas)
saves the voting ballot for California to
enter the Union as a free state from tampering by Jacob McGivens(Nick Chinlund)
and his goons. He returns home where
his wife Elena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and
son Joaquin (Adrian Alonso) expect him
to fulfill his promise to retire. Alejandro
refuses. Elena divorces him and confides
in Armand (Rufus Sewell), a French vineyard owner. Apparently, Armand is apart
of a secret knighthood that has developed
a powerful explosive to use against the US.
Image courtesy of Sony Pictures
Alejandro salvages his relationship with
his son while trying to win back his wife
and uncovering Armand's agenda. Wow
he's a busy guy!
The dumb characters: Elena, once
attracted to Alejandro's charm, has
become demanding. What does she
want from him? She never says. We're
left clueless. Joaquin admires Zorro for
his bravery but despises his father. He
mimics Zorro and even helps uncover the
plot. Whats confusing is that a small boy,
with that much intelligence, isn't able to
determine that Zorro is his father. He has
seen both men up-close and heard their
voices but still doesn't realize the truth.
The villains, Jacob and Armand, look
and act like villains, do nothing out of
the ordinary and therefore are not interesting.
The never ending fight sequences: they
take place on/in trains, mountains, cliffs,
farms, mansions, horseback, town square,
etc. By the looks of it, they've exploited
every location in the old west. I will admit
the fight sequences are impressive. Stunt
Coordinator Gary Powell has out done himself. The fight sequences are just too long
and too much. It's like ordering another
double when you're past legal limit.
Cut down half the fight sequences and
develop the relationship between Alejandro and Joaquin, then you have a better
movie. Thefilmcuts away every time Alejandro and Joaquin sits down and have a
father and son conversation. I felt cheated.
By the end, they do have a meaningful
conversation but I didn't care anymore and
just wanted to leave.

How to ... Spice up the night
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
Are you tired of eating foods
that just end up making you feel
bloated and sleepy and dinners
that leave you and your partner lying on the couch with no
energy for romance? If so, it's
time to change the .menu.
There are lots of foods out
there that are aphrodisiacs that
help boost sexual stimulation and
add a little spice to an otherwise
dull night. For starters, wine is
an easy way to set the mood. A
couple of glasses help to relax and
stimulate the senses, but be careful because one glass to many
can leave you drowsy and not up
for any physical activities.
For dinner try serving up or
going out for oysters, which are
high in protein and said to bring
out passion.
:
Try feeding your lover asparagus to bring out that sensuous
side. The Vegetarian Society recommended eating asparagus for
three days for best results. Sweet
Basil stimulates sex drive and
enhances fertility.
Carrots are thought be most
stimulating to males. Carrots
are high in vitamins and betacarotene and were used by early
Middle Eastern royalty to aid in
the art of seduction.
Garlic, though you may need
a breath mint, stirs up sexual
desires. By adding a little garlic
to your pasta sauce, you're adding
a little spice to your bedroom as
well.
This may seem a little odd, but
mustard is believed to stimulate
the sexual glands and
boost sexual longing. Try eating a filet
mignon with a mustard
and peppercorn sauce.
Now on to deserts; fruits are
a great place to start. Bananas
are rich in potassium and vitamin B which are essential for sex
hormone production. Raspberries
and Strawberries, known as tfie
fruit nipples, are not only loaded
with vitamin C, but they are a
great treat to feed your lover in
front of some soft candle light. %••
If fruits not your thing then try
some chocolate. Chocolate actually contains chemicals which
effect neurotransmitters in the

Active duty Marines attending Cal
State San Marcos will host this year's
Veteran's Day celebrations on Friday,
Nov. 11. The ceremony, commemorating veterans of all of the armed forces,
will be held next to the Kellogg Library
main entrance, from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
The ceremony will be a joint celebration for Veterans Day and the 230th
Birthday of the United States Marine
Corps, which is on Nov. 10.
The ceremony will consist of a color
guard, a reading from a letter from the
Marine Corps Commandant and a cake
cutting ceremony. The cake cutting ceremony will be an opportunity where a
piece of cake is presented to the youngest Marine on campus, Cpl. Jorge Caro,
and the oldest Marine on campus, Joe
The University Police Department received two reports of sexual
battery in October. These are the
only reported cases — there have
been no confirmed reports of rape.
Chief of Police, Aaron Woodard,
has confirmed that the first sexual
battery incident reported occurred
on the night of Oct. 20 when a 19year-old male approached a 16year-old female, while at University
Village.
"Through our investigation of
this case we received word of the
second incident that occurred
approximately three weeks prior to
the first, which involved the same
19-year-old male," said Woodard.
According to Woodard and Lt.
Douglass Miller, they have a strong
lead in the case as to who the suspect
is. He is not a student at CSUSM,
and currently he is classified as a
strong suspect in this matter.
Currently, this case is in the hands
of the District Attorney's Office for
further investigation.

The Board of Trustees of
the California State University adopted and approved
a 2006-2007 budget request
and fee increase proposal on
Oct. 27, 2005. The State University Fee for undergraduate
and credential students will be
increased by eight percent, and
will increase by ten percent for
graduate students, according
to the California State University web site.
The web site also states that
revenue from the student fee
increase will be $107 million.
Thirty-three percent of the
revenue will be used to provide $32.7 million in additional
funds for the State University
Grant financial aid program,
providing financial aid access
to 5,100 additional students.
The revenue from the budget
request and fee increase will
also be used to fund increases
in health benefits, new space,
service-based salary increases
for certain employee groups,
and higher energy costs.
The current 2005-2006
annual State University Fee
is $2,520 combined with the
average campus-based fees
totaling $664, makes the CSU
average for tuition a total of
$3,164 for undergraduates. A
link to the Finance Committee
Agenda/Student Fee Schedule
is provided on the CSU web
site for a detailed 2006-2007
fee schedule.
Many people wonder why
the board members are resorting to taking money from the
students. One of the board
members informed the students that they were unable to
find money from anywhere else

SGI Buddhist Club hosting guest speaker
Newly f ormed c lub i ntroducing B uddhism t o s tudents on c ampus
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
The
recently
formedBuddhist Club
will have its
first meeting
next
Monday.
The
club
Shin Yatomi
will host a
guest speaker Shin Yatomi, managing editor of Living Buddhism
magazine, on Nov. 14, from 7 to
8:30pm in ACD 102.
SGI stands for Soka Gakkai
S PEAKER, from page 1
The event will be hosted on
Tuesday Nov. 15 at the Clarke
Field House, room 113, from
11:30-12:30 p.m. With the support of ASI, pizza and refreshments will be available for all
participants.
Dr. Cyrus Masroori, advisor
of Model United Nations Club,
highlighted that Sorensen will
be focusing on "The United
Nations and Challenges of the
21st Century" and she'll be pre-
International which translates to:
create value.
"We believe each person has
Buddha in them," said Eiko
Okita, club treasurer. "By praying, people can reach Buddha in
nature." Okita went on to explain
that Buddhism believes in cause
and effect, "Whatever you cause,
you get the effect."
The club's goal is to introduce
Buddhism to the campus. Buddhism has multiple sects and the
SGI club follows the Nichiren
Daishonin (NSIC).
"SGI is a Buddhist association with more than 12 million members in 190 countries
and territories worldwide," Said
Frank Rojas, SGI Buddhist Club
president. "This Buddhism aims
to awaken people to the limitless potential and value of their
own lives. Buddhist philosophy
and practice bring about a positive transformation in the depths
of life, transforming fear into
courage, deluded impulses into
wisdom, and egotism to compassiori."
"We believe people are responsible for their own life and they
can change their life," said
LouAnn Berg, the SGI local
office community relations coordinator. The local office for SGI
is located in San Marcos and can
be found on the Web site for SGI
at < http://www.sgi-usa.org/cgibin/locator.cgi>.
"In India the word Buddha was
originally a common noun meaning "awakened one," but in Buddhism it is used to mean one who
has become awakened to the ultimate truth of life. In Hinayana the
word means one who has entered
the state of nirvana, in which both
body and mind are extinguished."
http://www.sgi-usa.org/
"Our members reflect a cross
section of our diverse American society, representing a broad
range of ethnic and social back-.
grounds," reads the SGI web site.
"I cannot tell you how much a
complete turn-around its done on
my life, helping me achieve my
dreams my educational goalsGPA, relationship, finances, and
overall happiness," said Rojas
about Buddhism.
The club started its recognition process on campus in September and became official in
October. This will be the first
meeting for the club. The event
will serve snacks and beverages.
For more information contact
the local office at 760.591.9738
or email Frank Rojas at
<frankienj @yahoo.com>.
pared to field any questions or
inquiries students, faculty or
staff may have about U N. policies or positions in international
relations.
"I hope students take advantage of this event," said Masroori. "Students have good questions about the United Nations.
I cannot think of many people
with more direct information
about the United Nations than
Ms. Sorensen.
Events like
this are not easy to. organize.
The Model United Nations at
CSUSM has worked hard to
make this possible. In part, by
organizing this event we want
to thank the university, and particularly the students, for supporting student organizations
like ours. We hope that students'
participation in this event give
us incentive to work even harder
to contribute to our university
by bringing more speakers in
the f uture."
This event is made possible
through CSUSM's Model United
Nations Club, the Department
of Political Science, the U.N.
Foundation and ASI. The event
is free-of-charge and expected
to be a "fortunate" experience
for all who attend, according to
Masroori.
"The United Nations has played
an important part in bringing
peace and security, humanitarian relief, health and education
to people around the world. Probably because of the magnitude
of its missions, it has also been
subject to criticism," Masroori
explained. "A good example is
the way that the U.N. has dealt
with the situation in Iraq since
early 1990's. Students have questions about the U.N., its usefulness, and its problems (e.g. oil
for food program). Here is a great
opportunity to learn more about
the organization and ask questions aboutit."

Fall 2005 semester. The club will
follow the procedures for club
status for the Spring semester.
"It's a tradition on campus. We
want to support that tradition,"
said Elizabeth Sheets, ASI's
director of social programming.
She went on to express how great
veterans are.
Currently, John Segoria, director of Disabled Student Services,
has been filling the role of coordinator for the Veterans Club until
Corkie's replacement is found.
The color guard will be hosted
by students currently enrolled
at Cal State San Marcos in the
Marine Enlisted Commissioning
Education Program (MECEP).
The program allows active duty
enlisted Marines to attend college while on active duty in order
td complete their college education and become officers.
The color guard consists of
Staff Sgt. Kevin Penn, Staff Sgt.
Mike Holt, Sgt. Ben Carter, and
Sgt. Nathan Loomis. The event is
being organized by Gunnery Sgt.
Dennis Herold.
"We want to pay tribute, not
just to veterans, but to their families as well," said Herold.
Segoria has estimated that
there are nearly 400 veterans and
dependents of veterans attending
Cal State San Marcos.

�Musical hopeful:
Casey Sowa
"Wouùfyou
go without
BY JESSICA DAMBOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
Casey Sowa is a guitarist who recently
released the compilation album, "Backroom Sounds." Sowa, who was part of
the band "Travesty," placed three of their
songs on the album. Sowa describes the
other featured artists as friends and the
CD itself as a compilation of San Diego
artists and a representation of San Diego's
culture, along with his own.
" But" said Sowa, "there is much more
that did not make it on the CD."
Before becoming a Cougar, Sowa
attended SDSU for three years, followed
by classes at both San Diego City College
and Mesa College. He is currently in his
second semester as a Communications
major here at CSUSM, where he appreciates having a lot of the same people in his
classes, all the technological resources,
and always being able to find a parking
spot.
When asked about the first time he
began playing guitar, Sowa said he was
about ten years old and that he enjoyed
playing his favorite songs and playing for
friends.
Currently, Sowa is in a nameless threepiece. He met Nick, who plays guitar and
bass for the new band, at the SDSU dorms
in 1998. The drummer, Jasha, arrived
through Ed Barrena, Sowa's roommate.
"(We were) stoked about creating
music and (to) move forward with being a
group," said Sowa.
Bradley Nowell of Sublime and Bob
Marley hold high places in Sowa's music
hall of fame, but despite their excessive popularity here, Sowa says that it
was great being in Souhern California
because of the "diversity of music."
Sowa recalls the first year he was in
the dorms, when some friends played
the guitar, and it united them. Later on,
according to Sowa, a guitar "showed up"
at his house and he began to play. "It's
a cool privilege to reprodupe your favorite songs and play them whenever you
want."
When asked if he liked where his future
was headed, Sowa said he is content but
wishes he could play more often. "It's
hard when you love something and can't
give enough time to it. It's frustrating."
When asked If the music industry
was challenging Sowa offered this bit of
advice: "Yes, but (the longer you hold o ff)
the pressure to sign to record, the more
you are independent. When you sign they
own your music." He went on to explain
that independent musicians need to network, make and hand outflyers,and promote themselves. "Just spread the word,
and spread the music... when you put it
down it doesn't get out."

flu pandemic. In a speech at the
National Institute of Health, Bush
explained his plan for education
and prevention, and treatment in
the event of an outbreak of Avian
Flu.
United Nations officials are
warning that the newest outbreak
of avian flu, identified as H5N1,
could lead to a pandemic killing
upwards of 150 million people.
However, according to comments
made to the BBC News on line
edition, World Health Organization spokesman Dick Thompson said the death toll would be
between two million and 7.4 million. According to Mr. Thompson, "There is obvious confusion,
and I think that has to be straightened out."
A pandemic is an epidemic
which affects large portions of
the global population. Other
worldwide pandemics, also
mutated from avian flu, include
the Asian flu, which killed about
four million people in 1957, and
the Hong Kong flu, which killed
about one million people in 1968.
Swine flu, another virus which
can be transferred from animals
to humans, is responsible for the
deaths of over 30 people in China
so far this year. Unlike the avian
flu, which can be contracted
by merely coming into contact
with infected birds, according to
the Calgary Herald, swine flu is
"contracted by slaughtering, handling, or eating infected pigs."
Although there is confusion
among experts as to how many
deaths would result from a pandemic, there is no confusion
about the source of the virus.
Scientists have determined that
the flu virus that killed 50 million people worldwide in the 1918
Spanish flu pandemic is similar
to the avian, or bird flu which
has killed over 60 people in Asia,
primarily Vietnam, since 1997.
Avian flu is spread by migrating birds which infect domestic
flocks of chickens and turkeys.
Jeffrey Taubenberger, from
the U.S. Armed Forces Institute
of Pathology, reported that the
1918 Spanish Flu outbreak can be
traced to an "avian-like virus that
adapted to humans." Researchers
have replicated the virus grown
from samples of tissue from victims of the Spanish flu. Pharmaceutical companies, like Roche,
have begun to develop vaccines
for that specific virus, although
a vaccine may be several months
away.
In order to contract avian flu,
a person must be simultaneously
infected with the avian strain
and the human strain of influenza. At that point of contagion,
the virus can mutate and then
spread by human-to-human contact. While thefluvirus seems to
strike primarily healthy, middleaged people between the ages of
18 and 34, scientists believe that
some elderly people may have
some immunity to the virus if
they were exposed to it in 1918.
Although experts differ about
the number of fatalities, they all
agree that it is not a matter if
the virus mutates and begins to
spread among the human population, but when. Infected birds
are being slaughtered throughout Asia and Europe, and several areas in Turkey and Romania have implemented quarantine
strategies, including limiting
travel in and out of cities that
have reported avian flu. According to the October 16 issue of the
San Diego Union-Tribune, Poland
has "banned the sale of live birds
at open-air markets and ordered
farmers to keep poultry in closed
quarters..." While national health
organizations are scrambling to
develop and implement strategies forfightingthis threat, there
are currently no plans to regulate
travel.
During the SARS epidemic in
2003, travelers coming in ajid
out of Asia were screened for
the virus. Travelers exhibiting
signs of fever or respiratory distress were not allowed to fly. In
a report in the Journal of Infection, A.G. Gupta evaluated the
efficacy of quarantine during the
SARS outbreak. He reported,
"Our results indicate that quarantine is effective in containing
newly emerging infectious diseases, and also cost saving when
compared to not implementing a
widespread containment mechanism." And, he concluded,
"Despite somewhat daunting initial costs, quarantine saves both
lives and money."
The United States Department
of Health and Human Services
issued a Draft Pandemic Influenza Response and Preparedness
Plan on August 26, 2004. In the
press release which accompanied
the Plan, then-HHS Secretary
Tommy Thompson said, "This
plan will serve as our roadmap
on how we as a nation, and as a
member of the global health community, respond to the next pandemic influenza out break, whenever that may be."
According to the Pandemic
Plan, the spread of SARS, and
other infectious influenzas in
the past, was greatly reduced by
quarantining infectious people,
as well as closing off uninfected
areas to travel. The difficulty
with quarantine in the current
epidemic is that the incubation time for this specific virus
is up to 14 days, which means
that apparently healthy, yet contagious, people will be able to
travel. While the U.S. government has a detailed plan in place
to manage the spread of avian
flu, its success depends greatly
on public cooperation. The Pandemic Influenza Plan and more
information can be found on the
government web site at www.
pandemicflu.gov.
New vaccines must be developed each year because the
strain changes. Flu season runs
between October and March, and
the best time to be vaccinated is
October or November. December, however, is not too late. The
shot can take up to two weeks to
become effective.
Last season'sfluvaccine shortage caused long lines and generated panic. There are no shortages
being reported so far this year,
and people are being encouraged
to get a flu shot as soon as possible. Most insurance companies
don't cover the cost, which can be
anywhere from $10 to $35. The
Flu Mist vaccine, which contains
the live flu virus, is available
for about $35 in limited areas to
healthy people between the ages
offiveand 49.
Although no vaccine exists yet
tofightthe avianflustrain of influenza, there are precautions that
people can take to protect themselves and others from becoming
sick. For example, focus on regular exercise and good nutrition;
a healthy body has better immunity. Wash hands frequently, and
if you become ill, stay home to
avoid infecting others. Get a flu
shot; even if it's not for the avian
flu strain, the shot will prevent
you from catching this year's
strain and prevent a weakened
immune system.
If you catch the flu in spite
of these precautions, there are
medications which can shorten
the duration of the flu. Tamiflu,
the brand name of the anti-viral
medication amantadine, must be
prescribed by a doctor within 48
hours of the onset of thè flu. For

Halloween education vacation
Pride editor visits
a renowned Ohio

Last week, when I might have

In reality she was smiling primarily on my friend, but I caught
her eerie glow by proxy.
You see, this dear friend of
mine, a moderate authority on a
number of things oft-associated
with Halloween, was again called
upon by a former Palomar College professor to serve as a timely
guest speaker. Although this professor now lectures at Case Western University in Cleveland, she
was able to treat out some private funds to provide travel and
boarding fees for both himself
and a guest-assistant.
It's hard enough to afford rent

pleasure travel from it, so I naturally jumped at the opportunity.

didn't do some of the work ahead
of time, unaccustomed as I am to
missing class time, and unaccustomed as I am to doing any more
class work than necessary.
I wonder now, if this more
overt taste of travel, mixing business with pleasure, will affect
the remainder of my time at this
local school, among so much
local lack of color. Rather than
look for irony or steeled justification in my near-graduate restlessness, I think I'll thankfully trick
myself into further blurring the

�Pride investigates
LTWR and Mathematics professors speak out
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
In the interest of everyone at CSUSM,
the Pride has brought together two
interviews, one conducted last semester
directly with professor Susan Fellows of
the LTWR department, the other by recent
email to Professor Marshall Whittlesey
of Mathematics. Here they both respond
to questions regarding grade inflation,
an issue equally pertinent to all sides
of the report card. Hopefully, through
comparing answers given by educators
in such contrastedfields,readers will
gain both insight and foresight into their
college experience.
S. Fellows:
Do we have the same concept of
what grade inflation equates to, that
of lowering academic standards
concerning what earns one grade over
another?
Yeah, absolutely.
One theory circulating is that9 in
the United States, this became truly
epidemic during the Vietnam War
where professors lowered standards to
save students from the draft. Is that
accurate?
I don't know if that's the reason, but it
certainly happened that it was what's
known as the 'great dumbing down.'
Classes that were formerly taught weren't
taught because they were no longer
'relevant'. That's when you began to
get a slippage of realrigorousacademic
thinking. And I saw it a lot in what was
being produced in the colleges at that time.
The late 60s, early 70s?
I'd say more in the early 70s. And I'm not
aware of it being part of the draft, it could
very well be. I certainly would do that.
Hypothetically, "if" it's happening
here, would it be something that would
be formally practiced by the professors
practice of their own volition, or would
it be something encouraged directly by
the administrators?
I'm seeing now with incoming freshman
is that they are-not-educated-to-the-levelthey-should-be to go to die university.
We have too much remediation, and one
semester cannot undo 7th through 12th very
poor education.
I have a lot of students who've never read
a book.
What effects do you see beyond the
classroom?
Well, I think the administrative level of
speaking about it is: 'we will not have
grade inflation, graderigorously'BUT
were supposed to graduate people on time,
and we're supposed to get them through
our classes expeditiously. Students are
paying a lot of money for the classes,
taking out loans, so it seems a subtext
where you want to give them as much
the advantage of the doubt as possible.
If they're really doing failing work, they
don't pass the class. But on the other
hand if they're doing ' C' work and need
a ' B' to get into graduate school, well, I
don't care, nobody seems to be saying
anything.
So the unspoken thing is 'just get help
them through, because they've had such a
lousy high school education, and they're
so unaware, so just help them get through
and maybe they can learn something at
some other point. But I think it's VERY
uneven among the professors. It's much
more difficult in the humanities because
things are more abstract and subjective,
it's much easier to berigorouswith the
sciences.
One theory circulating is that, in
the United States, this became truly
epidemic during the Vietnam War
where professors lowered standards to
save students from the draft. Is that
accurate?
Businesses are complaining a lot that new
hires don't know how to write, they don't
know how to think, they just want to go
through the motions. We're not going
to come up with new paradigms if we
don't understand how to take elements
in a historical process. We are going to
suffer as a country if we don't know how
to take a risk in thinking. And if you look
at China and India, they're way ahead of
us. If you just pick up "The Economist"
you'll see we're in their debt financially
and now intellectually as well.
What do you think we can do to
counteract this?
I have a theory that we need to blow up
the entire school system and start over,
because the people already in the middle
of it are lost. Unless you've been lucky
How do you respond to the speculation
that grade inflation, as it exists now,
is a means of keeping enrollment
numbers up, or at least maintained?
e nough t o c ome from a background
with really good educational access, the
California school systems is in a freefall.
Blowing it up is really radical, but I
honestly don't know at this point. And
it's not that we don't have good teachers,
but we don't pay teachers enough to
encourage them to go into education.
I don't know, that would imply some kind
of conspiracy theory, I don't know. I
just know that the UC, CSU, community
colleges are paid by the number of
students sitting in the classrooms. I would
hate to think that.. .but it may be.
M. Whittlesey:
At the school now there are no
administrators officially encouraging it,
but it's indirect?
Do we have the same concept of
what grade inflation equates to, that
of lowering academic standards
concerning what earns one grade over
another?
Exactly.
What are some of the effects you're
seeing now?
I think our concept is basically the same.
But the exact scale would not matter
so much, if only grades distinguished
Well I'm really worried, because what

people. Part of the problem is that when
grade inflation happens, more people are
getting the same kinds of grades (A and
B, usually). If everybody is getting A
and B, how do people (e.g., employers)
determine which students are better than
others? Maybe the problem of grade
inflation is more one of selective inflation:
some grades get raised (B,C, etc.) but you
can't make A any higher than it is already.

the administrators?
Well, it depends on what you mean
by 'own volition'. Every professor is
evaluated by students at the end of the
semester and works with the knowledge
that those evaluations might affect his or
her career. And every professor knows
that students with higher grades are
happier students, and happier students
usually give better evaluations. If a

But I think the effect of that historical
event is minimal today. There are
plenty of other current trends to explain
what's going on. More people are
going to college expecting to pass; there
are political pressures in that. Higher
education is big business; institutions
are expected to grow. The state gives us
admission targets, so we admit students
to reach those. Are we supposed to
expect that graduation rates will remain
the same? If so, that can result in grade
inflation. Also, the rise of student
evaluations in the 1960s made it a lot
tougher to be hard on students - if your
career depends on what students say about
you, you're probably going to go easier
on them.

SUPPORTA WORTHY CAUSE
�grade inflation
on controversial education topic
professor decides to give higher grades
than he/she otherwise might give without
that evaluation pressure, is that their own
volition, or pressure from above?
I don't know any in the sciences who
give higher grades just because they felt
like it. (I really know little about grading
outside the sciences.) But we all do have
a general sense that failure rates shouldn't
be too high. I can't say I have felt any
pressure from above, however - and I give
lot of low grades. It would be rare if an
administrator encouraged this 'directly'.
For the record, student evaluations are
mandated by the collective bargaining
agreement between the faculty and
the state of California. How they are
used exactly is determined by local
promotion and tenure committees, and
administrators.
Have you ever worked for, or seen
a school where grade inflation was
happening?
Could you describe what you've
seen as, or what would see as
inconsistencies in academic
standards?

Different departments have different
grading cultures. Some give a lot of low
grades and others do not.
Some of the future implications?
What effects do you see beyond the
classroom?
The real problem with grade inflation is
that grades cease to become meaningful
to people who look at transcripts. If
employers hire one of our graduates
with lots of good grades and they cannot
do basic things, we have a credibility
problem. Future effects: more employers
not taking B A degrees seriously, and
more people going to graduate programs
because their college transcript isn't
meaningful enough.
Colleges need to decide what the purpose
of grading is. Are we trying to provide
a system whereby students' talent can be
distinguished? Is a class where everybody
gets A or B meaningful?
What do you think can be done to
counteract grade inflation, and or the
30
if I'm
fear of it?
(1) I think the current minimum GPA's
for graduation are too high. Title V of
the state education regulations require
that every students graduate with a GPA
of at least 2.0 overall and in their major.
What does this accomplish? It's just a
pie-in-the-sky Lake Wobegon ' we're
all above average' ideal that we can't
possibly reach. If the min GPA were 1.0,
would our graduates be any different? I
doubt it. Grades given might be lower,
but it wouldn't reflect less learning, just
a different grading scale, and would be
more meaningful to employers.
(2) If faculty felt assured that their careers
would not be jeopardized (via student
evaluations) by giving bad grades, that
would make a difference.
(3) We need to return dignity to the grade
of C. Nowadays, it's often the lowest
possible grade to get by to something else,
and most people regard it as a bad grade.
(4) Students and the public at large need
to be made aware of the effects of grade
inflation: that their degrees are taken less
seriously.
Whether perceived as a mixed blessing, or
slow poison, surely there are few students
and fewer educators, entirely willing to
dismiss grade inflation as a bureaucratic
phantom. The Pride sincerely hopes
to investigate this matter further with
the help of both students, staff and the
administration.

What
Well, enrollment is probably a factor.
We're in this business to make a living,
after all. I think it is not as much of a
factor here as it is elsewhere, however.
My reasons for saying so are (1) when
a student fails a class, it's not as much
of a financial calamity as it is at private
institutions. Students know they can take
the course again for a modest fee. I fail
far more students here than the private
institution I once worked at. There, failing
students results in lots of angry parents
who spent tens of thousands of dollars
on their kid and they will complain. (2)
California, Cal State and North County in
particular are growing so fast that we don't
seem to have too much trouble finding
students to come here. (3) If we lose
enrollment to community colleges because
we grade too hard, the state isn't as likely
to give us a hard time about it, because
the community colleges cost the state less
money.
This is a big factor. In the last few
decades many more people have started
going to college who in past generations
would not have. I fcollegiate education

What of more macrocosmic theories,

That's hard to answer yes or no, mainly
because it's hard to tell if one is being

exams semester to semester, so I can't

THE PRIDE
University Village expansion
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
In Spring of2006, there will be
a market study conducted, which
will determine when new residential hall apartments will be
coming to Cal State San Marcos.
This study will look at University needs, student expectations,
affordability, building costs, and
student and University needs.
Cal State San Marcos will be
working with a marketing consulting firm who will interview
students, study surrounding
rental markets, look at the future
of enrollment, the cost of construction and evaluate when they
might be able to afford to build a
project that will have full occupancy, when they open the residential hall apartments.
University Village Director,
Brian Dawson says, "The campus
has planned for multiple stages of
housing to be built with the goal
of housing between seven to ten
percent of the student population. We currently house only
four percent of students with 468
beds. The University is looking
at constructing a parking deck
and housing to be built for 20102011, if the market study shows
this demand." During the next
ten years, Cal State San Marcos
expects to add more housing next
to the existing University Village, and plans to develop a new
location just to the southeast of
the existing faculty/staff parking
lot.
Currently, University Village housing costs are set to
increase three percent per year
annually to cover the increased
expenses of utilities, staffing and
maintenance. Depending on what
the university builds next, the
cost may be more or less depending on the demand and construction costs.
The university wants to provide
excellent services where a student can succeed in school. With
the market study, the university
will see what services students
want and need, the cost of building and managing and how much
students are willing to pay for
these services.
"What it means for students,
is more access to Cal State San
Marcos. Some college students
consider only those colleges
where they can be assured of
having on-campus housing. More
live-on campus opportunities for
freshman and depending upon
demand and enrollment growth,
possibly more space for students
who want to live on campus more
than one or two years," mentioned

Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
I don't know
why, but I
still can't sit
through a whole
hockey game.
I really have
tried.
A fter
I've turned the
game on I've taped my eyelids to
my eyebrows, thrown away the
remote control, and tied myself to
a chair. However, the T.V. somehow finds its way to a basketball
or football game.
I thought that after the short
hiatus I would have been more
interested. I watch the occasional
period or two of the Kings game
whenever I pass by Fox Sports
Net. Now that the Outdoor Life
Network is carrying NHL games,
the sport is no longer on my radar.
I mean, I don't even know what
channel OLN is on.
I do like the rule changes that
the NHL has adopted, such as
shoot outs if there is no winner
after overtime, and the limitation
on goalie equipment. However,
the sport just doesn't interest me,
and no, it's not because I can't
skate more than two feet without
falling down and catching frostbite.
I think Comedian Alonzo
Bodden said it best when he
claimed it's hard to like a sport
where the darkest thing on the ice
is the puck that everyone is trying
to smack. There is truth behind
all humor and Alonzo brings up
the point of diversity.
Several months ago I was at
The Laugh Factory in Hollywood
for a taping of the "Best Damn
Sports Show Period". Alonzo
was one of the comedians on the
show, and after his set I had a
conversation with him about this
subject. I came to the realization
why Hockey hasn't peaked my
interest to this point in my life.
I can't identify with any of
the hockey players. Off the top
of my head I don't know of any
Latin hockey players. Please, if
you know of one, bring it to my
attention. Also, without doing
research, the only African-American hockey player I know of is
Donald Brashear. Once again, if
you know of others then drop me
an E-mail.
It's widely known that in the
hood or barrio there are more basketball courts and baseball fields
than ice rinks, which explains
why there are so few great Caucasians in the NBA, and hardly
any great African-Americans
and Latinos in the NHL.
Why is this accepted? Is this
just another form of segregation?
I know all of you don't want to
hear this, especially those of you
who complain that I don't write
enough about sports, but it's
something that's on my mind.
I mean I haven't even been to a
hockey games and sports consume a large portion of my life.
I want to like hockey, but in
order for things to change, the
sport is going to need a Tiger
Woods. Look what happened
to the game of golf when Tiger
began having success. AfricanAmericans all of a sudden hit the
links in unison. The same can
happen in hockey.
Don't act like this is Calculus.
It is really quite simple. When
you see someone doing something positive, and they look like
you, it helps you realize that you
can do what they are doing.
I don't know when the Tiger of
the NHL will roar, but I am sure I
won't have to tie myself to a chair
to watch.
If you have any praise (haha,
who am I kidding?), topic suggestions, questions, comments
(No, I am not going to stop talking about serious issues), or concerns then send an E-mail to
Sando026@csusm.edu.

Special to The Pride
Part 1: H ow much c ould s uch

an event work to further the intellectual endeavor at CSUSM? In
my eyes, college ought to be a
place where people are inspired
to answer critical questions and
forge meaningful ideas. It's difficult for me to prioritize the need
to determine whether or not folks
have a right to sell meaningless sex to strangers. I guess I
just expect students to act more
like Socrates, and less like Jerry
Springer.
Part 2: Would Joe/Sally Taxpayer be likely to agree to appropriate his/her tax dollars to the
state so that an institution could
host events for sex-worker advocates? Many taxpayers already
things that help everyone. Furthermore, I think that some
people simply take for granted the
fact that public institutions are in
large part financed by the public.
Such a fact ought to compel those
in charge of our funds to show an
interest in being accountable to
taxpayers.
Part 3: Would you reveal to
your younger sister that you
organized/hosted an event for a
sex-worker advocate? Call me
a softie, but I care very much
about the sort of America that
my younger sister grows up in. It
seems as though there is already
plenty of pressure/influence on
younger woman these days to
engage in random sexual acts.
I can't imagine one trying to
explain to his/her younger sister
why he/she organized/hosted an
event for people that don't seem
to care about such an influence.
So for the foregoing reasons,
your political commentator feels
disappointed that his student
government would host such an
event. And sitting here in Kellogg Library, I'm looking at my
fellow scholars and wondering if
they too feel disappointed. If you
folks do, then I might consider
that to be evidence that the political climate here on campus is a
healthy one. If you folks do not,
then I'm probably just an elitist,
uptight, fraud of a liberal.

Kenny plays at M-Theory Records
BY BRYAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
Andrew Kenny, the lead singer of The
American Analog Set, made a solo performance in a dark corner of M-Theory
Records, a North Park record shop. The
solo performance on Wednesday Nov. 2,
2005, was scheduled before the band's set
later that night at The Casbah.
The crowd waited, as 8 o'clock turned
to 8:15. Finally around 8:30, a black oldschool Chevy pulled up to the curb. Local
resident and musician Jimmy LaVelle, the
brain child behind "The Album Leaf,"
stepped out of the car with non other than
Andrew Kenny himself. They pushed
through the crowd and towards the back of
the store, short-stack amp in hand, with a
fellow band member carrying his guitar.
After Kenny spent a short time setting
up, the music in the store came to a halt
as the needle was lifted from the record
player with an abrupt scratch.
"Testing," said Kenny, then with a
couple of taps on the microphone, he introduced himself in a saccharine way. Jumping right into the songs, Kenny started
with "Jr," a soft blend of guitar and Kenny's easy voice. He immediately thanked
the crowd for applauding after the end of
thefirstsong, noting something about San
Diego's weather.
For the next song, Kenny played
"Immaculate Heart 1," which was a little
more upbeat than the first. The song, off
of the new album "Set Free," was different

to hear without the full band, but Kenny
pulled even this solo performance off with
grace, not missing a single beat as he made
it clear that he was there to entertain.
For the last songs, Kenny played a mixture of fast and slow. The crowd responded
to these songs with a variety of expres-
sions, some patrons looked awe-struck,
others looked content.
Kenny later went on to play a twentyone and up show at The Casbah later that
night.
The short pre-show at M-Theory was a
great way to get in touch with fans and for

"Our goal in promoting and
providing this activity is to offer
students a venue to attend a
movie they may have wanted to
see but couldn't afford while at
the same time fostering a sense of
community by having a group of
Cal State San Marcos students at
a movie together," said Elizabeth
Sheets, director of social programming on the ASI Programming Board about the significance of the event to the CSUSM
campus.
Since Cal State San Marcos
is commonly considered a commuter school, the ASI Programming Board promotes a more
sustained connection of its student body i o campus and the surrounding community.
Sheets also added that ASI
attempts to schedule movie nights
for Tuesdays because with registration to the Regal Crown Card,
students can get free popcorn
along with a free movie.
According to <www.imdb.
com>, "Jarhead" chronicles the
missions of a Marine unit during
Operations Desert Shield and
Desert Storm in the Middle East.
The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal
and Jamie Foxx.

Commemorating those who
served in the armed forces, Cal State
San Marcos celebrated Veterans
Day on Nov. 11 at the Library Plaza.
The ceremony consisted of nearly a
dozen Cal State San Marcos active
duty Marines in Dress Blues.
The ceremony included a speech
from the master of ceremonies,
Staff Sgt. Karin Reyes, a recital of
a speech from President G.W. Bush,
a color guard ceremony, and a cake
cutting for the Marine Corps birthday, which was Nov. 10.

sponsored by the Combined Veterans and Fraternal Organizations of North County, in the
Tri-Cities area, welcoming local
political and military personnel
as honorable guests to thank veterans for their service, commitment and role in helping the next

"It's for the youth too," noted
Bob Neal, exalted ruler of the

the reasons behind why we celebrate Veterans Day. "They're the
future, and why we do this."*
City councilman, Rocky
Chavez, former Marine Corps
colonel, speaking on behalf of
Oceanside Major Jim Wood,
offered a brief speech commenting how "the best thing about
Oceanside is our relationship
with the military. Not just the
Marine Corps, but all services.
Veterans fight for freedom not
just for our nation, but for all

Congressman Darrell Issa,
a key speaker at the ceremony,

The teddy bear delivery starts on
Dec. 13 in Balboa Park where representatives from each participating police department will speak at
a press conference about the results
of the event. These officers will
then take part in a motorcade from
Balboa Park to Children's Hospital
located in the Kearny Mesa area of
San Diego County.
Since this is the season for
multiple donation drives, and
only our campus' second year
of involvement, the Teddy Bear
Drive could end up to be less
publicized.
"Students can get involved by
getting the word out," said Panza,
about ways that students can
participate beyond just donating teddy bears. All donated
bears must be in new condition;
therefore, the drive cannot accept
hand-me-downs as to comply
with Children's Hospital's policies for infection control. Participants may also donate money,
making checks payable to Children's Hospital.
"It is with great respect and
with a heavy heart," we pay
respect, said Reyes about the
tribute for those who served and
those who've died.
Veterans Day began in 1919
as Armistice Day attributing to
the cease fire from World War
L President Wilson proclaimed
that Nov. 11 will be set aside to
remember all of those who have
served.
President Eisenhower changed
Armistice Day to Veterans Day
in 1954 in order to pay tribute to
all veterans of all wars.
A speech by President George
G.W. Bush was read by Staff
Sgt. Louis Caliendo. The speech
urged all Americans to recognize Nov. 6 through Nov. 12 as
"National Veterans Week" and
called on Americans to participate in patriotic activities. Bush's
speech, read by Caliendo, also
paid tribute to those who are
serving overseas at this time.

�ASI Early learning Center hosts first
off-campus garage and bake sale
B YLIZZ OSBOURNE
Pride Staff Writer
In an effort to reach out into
the community and raise funds,
P.A.T., the Parents and Teachers group, acting as a liaison
between ASI and the Center,
will host a combination garage
and bake sale off-campus, in
front of Ralphs Grocery Store,
on Saturday, Nov. 19, between
8:00 and 11:00 a.m.
According to P.A.T. President, Shelly Monroe, "there
has never been an off-campus
garage/bake sale done by any
student organization. I felt it
was important to get the community involved and recognize
that Cal State has a Child Care
facility while fundraising all in
one. Our student organization is
different because we deal with
children and parents. Not many
people know that Cal State
offers childcare to students at
a more reduced rate than all the
surrounding centers. Getting
the community involved will
make this event successful."
In-kind donations are needed
for the garage sale that are in
good condition like clothes,
dishes, and small furniture.
Pick-ups are available till Nov.
18. There are two drop-off locations on campus in the Student
Life and Leadership Office
Craven 4116, and the ASI Office
located in the Commons Building. Volunteers are also needed
to help price items on Nov. 18,
and to set up, sell and sweep up
on the day of the sale, Nov. 19.
The ASI Early Learning
Center is a childcare facility
run by ASI that offers lower
tuition to students and faculty
of the university. It is offered
to the community as well, but
students and faculty have priority. Students benefit from the
center because it allows them to
go to school and have lower cost
childcare to help them complete
their degree. It offers childcare
to ages 2-4 years old and offers
CLASSIFIEDS
a camp in the summertime
when the university is closed.
ASI Early Learning Center is a
non-profit organization, which
means it relies on the P. A.T. club
to help fundraise for any extra
items not in the budget.
Last spring, P.A.T. members
raised funds through events
such as a fashion show where the
young children were dressed up
according to themes. However,
funds and in-kind donations are
still needed. One of the biggest
expenses they are saving up for
is a childcare van. Their wish
list also includes: outside play
equipment, shade equipment,
bicycles, balls, and computers.
Volunteers are always needed
to help assist with the children,
and act as drivers to and from
the Center.
For any information on this
event, donations and/or volunteering, please contact: Shelly
Monroe, Parent and Teacher
president at monro011@csusm.
edu or 760-481-8240.

to support, defend and serve our
nation. "Whether we are Republicans or Democrats, we are all
veterans," said Issa. "Politics end
when our nation needs us. There
are no political stripes in the service."
Following
Issa's
speech,
Assemblyman Mark Wyland,
for the 74th District, shared some
inspirational thoughts about his
feelings toward the role Veterans have in securing our nation's
freedom. "This country has more
freedom, more hope, and more
opportunity than any other in
history," said Wyland. "We may
be imperfect, but now we are
trying to bring these freedoms to
another part of the world."
Lt. Colonel Brian Kerl, of the
United States Marine Corps, captured much attention in the opening of his speech when he joked
about how "others (Chavez and
Issa) may have excused themselves" due to other engagements, however; "the Marines
are still here!" His comment was
well received with laughter and
applause.
Emphasizing and reporting
on current active duty veteran
efforts, Kerl detailed the training
procedures implemented at the
Marine Corps Recruit Depot in

San Diego.
"Our commitment to one
another remains unquestionable,"
said Kerl. "We are proud to have
served in difficult circumstances.
And thank you for your service to
this great nation."
In an effort to help local youths
develop a positive sense of patriotism, the Combined Veterans and
Fraternal Organizations of North
County sponsored an essay contest "to make them aware about
what Veterans Day is, and why
those wars were fought to maintain our nation's freedom," said
retired Marine Corps Captain,
Donald Greenlaw. Chosen winners were awarded at the end of
the ceremony. Three winners
were selected from each participating school, awarding first
place writers with a $100 bond,
and second and third place winners with $50 bonds each. Six
school divisions participated
in the contest including: Faith
Lutheran, Martin Luther King
Elementary, Roosevelt Middle,
Oceanside High, El Camino High
and one recipient f rom the homeschool division.
"It was a good experience for
everyone involved" mentioned
Jeanne Evans, CVFO co-chairperson, who congratulated the
students on their wonderful
words of inspiration. Eight students were present at the ceremony and honored with a certificate of excellence.
In closing remarks, Rev. Steve
Chappell offered a prayer for
departed veterans, encouraging
all attendees to keep in mind the
"memory of all military members
who have given their lives for us
all. May they rest in peace. God
Bless."

A sudent's perspective on college and money
BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
Our world is in love with money. Have
you ever watched late night television and
sat mesmerized as people retell their get rich
quick tricks? They promise to send you a six
disc set with all their instructions so you can
do it too! And if you act now, they will throw
in a free solar powered pocket financial calculator; all for three easy payments of only
$33.33, plus shipping of course.
Ever walked through a store's magazine
and newspaper racks? The Wall Street Journal, Baron's, Kiplinger's, Smart Money,
Forbes, Financial Times, and then of course
the personal finance articles in magazines
like Mens' Health, Cosmopolitan, and the
thousands of other monthly publications,
all offer up their words of wisdom on the
issue that hits home every time: money,
dinero, cash, bread, dough, cake, moola,
etc... People are hungry for the tidbits of
information that will set us free and let us
retire early in a small Italian villa.
Unfortunately, college graduates tend to
leave their institutions of higher learning
with a degree in whatever, a mountain of
debt, and no real knowledge of how to get
out of the hole. We put our faith in walking with our class on graduation day and
then walking into our new office the next
week. After all, you posted your resume on
Monster and this new job you know you are
going to get will finally pay enough money
for you to live comfortably, pay off all your
debt, retire early, and live happily ever after,
right? Maybe, but I would not count on it.
A friend of mine, a very intelligent guy
with a degree in business management
emphasizing industrial psychology from
the highly regarded Pepperdine University,
looked for three months to find a job only
to be offered a $32,000 a year job as a very
low man on the corporate totem pole. With
that, he could live in an apartment with at
least one roommate, drive the same car
he drove through college, and maybe be
able to save a little money at the end of the
month. Unfortunately, his student loan debt
exceeds $30,000 and any leftover money
goes right into paying that off.
Do not count on a well paying job straight
out of college. Do not rack up the student
loan debt (not too much anyway), credit
card debt, auto loan debt, home mortgage
debt, and any other kind of debt while
hoping to make $70,000 a year, when you
finally escape the college classroom and go
out into the "real world." Instead, start your
personal finance education now and start
planning today. This winter break, go to
a bookstore and find a book (that you will
need to read) on personal finance.
This column will attempt to tackle a lot
of the issues facing college kids today with
their finances. We will discuss important
topics such as your FICO score, how to consolidate and eliminate debt, how to make a
big ticket purchase like a car or a home, and
we will try to give you the basics, like creating a budget, how much credit one should
have, which kind of credit cards to use, and
how to make the most of the money you do
have. Hopefully, this will give you a better
understanding of your personal finances.

A n interview w ith the founder of Perigee
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
LTWR graduate Robert Woerheide walked in May of 04, but
not before establishing an especially sleek and professional
online art magazine "Perigee", as
seen through www.perigee-art.
com. Directly after graduating
from high school in '96, Woerheide attended Virginia Tech as
a physics major. He didn't stay
long, however, before moving out
to San Diego. A fter some time
working retail, and some more
resuming undergraduate credits at Mesa College, he came to
CSUSM and all it had to offer
an aspiring writer. During one of
Woerhide's campus visits an ensuing debate imitated conversation
and conversation in turn imitated
interview as Pride set one wordsmith editor against another.
What do you recall about the
education you received here at
that time, do any teachers stand
out, any program you found
especially good or bad?
I think I had a really good experience with the LTWR department. Brandon Cesmat, he was
instrumental in helping me to
find my voice as a poet. I never
considered myself a poet, but he
guided me through the process.
And certainly professor Susan
Fellows was critical in my development as a writer, and she stood
out in my experiences. Newman
and Yuan as well.
It seems you remember more
the professors
themselves
rather than any kind of structure within the college, the
teacher more than the class.
Yeah, I think so. Yes.
You said that you transferred from Science into Literature. Have you talked with
other people who have made
what seems like such a drastic
change?
No, not really. I always hear
stories of people 'changing their
majors' and that sort of thing.
When I went, I wanted to study
Astrophysics and the math just
killed me. So, in my first semester, I switched over to English,
so it was a quick thing. I had an
opportunity to go to the University of Iowa, and I.. .sorta wish I
had, maybe. It's certainly more
of an English-oriented school but
my experiences at Virginia Tech
instilled the seed for the online
magazine,
Many students might be in
a similar situation, pursuing
something in the more tangible
sciences, where the arithmetic
might seem a real drudgery, do
you think it's a mater of whether
you're 'capable' or more a
matter
of...'compatibility'?
And if you'd had more compatibility might it have put you
on an entirely different path,
might you have continued with
writing but in a lesser capacity?
I think I would have eventually
gone back to English, to writing;
it was my passion since I was 1314 years old. I got fired up about
astrophysics, but I have a feeling
I was meant to be a writer is some
form, or an editor.4 Working with
words'; I think I would have eventually swung back to that.

So when people make the
decision it should have more to
do with the more driving passion rather than what comes
easiest, necessarily?
I would say, yes. Certainly
speaking for myself, I'm a passionate person, so it would make
sense that I would be driven more
by passion. Some people are more
driven by wanting a better life for
their family which might lead
them to more profitable endeavors than writing, but for me I'd
definitely be inclined to follow
my passion.
That brings us to a larger,
and hopefully deeper question,
in the sense that often people in
the arts, particularly in literature, are viewed as 'reclusive'
or otherwise selfish people, and
yet so often explain their work
in terms of how it can help
other people. Do you think it's
difficult to reconcile these two?
No, I don't think it's difficult
to reconcile them. Art needs to
be an intimate and often private
'act'. Yet, in the end, I think art
achieves what it needs to achieve
by being sent to a broader audience, by engaging with the world.

INTERVIEW, from page 5
Some of the great artists are often
introverted, but their work hopefully speaks to an 'extroverted
world', if you will.
You're currently editing the
online publication "Perigee",
how did you get into that?
FEATURES_
you respond to the idea that the
problem isn't enough people
reading, but too many self-identified 'readers' now feeling so
self-conscious that they fancy
themselves either destined or
obliged to write, that "there
aren't too few readers; there are
too many writers."

ment. There are many theories
to explain this, but how would
That's a legitimate concern. I
think that's one of the benefits
of the internet, though, that it's
very democratic in that respect. If
you can get your work published,
more power to you. I think there's
enough space to accommodate
that at this point. I suppose we'll
eventually see that chafe removed,
the lesser works will fall by the
wayside. As online publication
develops word will spread as with
anything else in life.
It seems you're hoping for a
natural process, that the hacks
will lose interest, and yet so
often we see that the big jobs in
television and cinema are often
going to the 'hacks'. How do
you reconcile this?
That's easy for me to answer:
I think that in the modern world
nice guys finish last, and I think
it's a shame. I mean nice as in
someone who has artistic integrity, who takes the long road.
That's not to say that if you work
for CNN you're a worthless
human being, but in general I
think the things that are rewarded
in our modern system aren't necessarily conducive to good writing, to a sense of artistic integrity (not to use that term again).
That's what I mean by nice guys
finish last.
In that respect, returning
to education, how diverse the
experiences and results are,
do you think this has more to
do with the system or the very

nature of good writers? Can
you blame the system when the
system is designed to serve the
masses while the masses generally don't become good writers?
I think there is definitely a level
of personal responsibility, and with
writers, with all artists in general,
you're perhaps more likely to find
people who aren't so concerned
with publishing something to further a career as with simply writing
a good sentence. And you'll find
this in otherfieldsas well.
Do you think there's anything to be done, whether in
large classes or one on one, to
'make' good writers, and if not
do you think maybe teachers
should focus instead on making
more voracious readers?
I think both go hand in hand;
you have to be a voracious reader
to be a good writer.
Don't you think, though, with
regards to what you said earlier
about too many writers...
Yeah, if you have to pick one
or the other, pick reading, we
need more readers, then maybe,
once they've read a heck of a lot,
maybe they can become good
writers, but in the meantime definitely pick reading.
Do you feel you follow a
model as an editor, is it a model
that works better for online
publishing than physical publishing?
I look at other publications that

are successful, but I want Perigee to have
its own voice, so I try to see what I like
about those publications, then ask myself
why I like certain aspects before I incorporate them to make Perigee as a whole
rather than piecemeal.
But in terms of how to discern between
worthy and unworthy submissions?
Online publications are still fairly new,
so I've simply had to do what makes sense
to me and to the other editors. We have to
trust our own sense for that but also have
to be objective at the same time. In that
sense we don't really have much in terms
of 'models' to go off of, we're really just
kind of doing what makes sense from an
artistic standpoint.
Being able to use your own taste and
standards is something that a lot of people
in the publishing and entertainment
industry have as the highest goal Do you
think that's a luxury that only obscure or
independent publishers can afford, or is it
a model that maybe the bigger distributors should follow more often?
printing costs, that there will be so
many independent publishers that writing will become a hobby simply because
there is literally NO money to be made?
Or is there a model or mission statement
that the literati in all stations and fields
could encourage to make writing a more
lucrative pursuit?
Tuesday, November 15, 2005
Perhaps. I think that's a legitimate concern, monetary concerns are part of the
world, and they can be beneficial to the
artistic process, and perhaps those that
can't afford to be publishing shouldn't be
publishing. That said, it is hard to break
into the system if you don't have an empire
behind you, but you can have a good magazine with no money, of course there's just
a greater risk it's going to fail.

�Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Most football fans don't
know what to
think about the
Chargers at
this point in the
season. They
don't know if
they are a good or bad team. Do
bad teams lose the close games or
do good teams stay in contention
until the last minute of the game.
I guess it depends if you are a half
full or half empty kind of person.
Lucky for you Chargers fans, I
am a half full kind of guy.
If you play Monday morning
quarterback like me, then you
realize that the Chargers should
be undefeated at this point, but
they're actually 5-4. With those
four losses coming by a total
of 12 points, the Chargers have
made their route to the playoffs
much tougher.
I think it is going to take 10
wins to make the playoffs, which
mean the Chargers need to win
five out of the final seven games.
As hard as that may sound, I see
it happening.
The next game is against the
Bills at home. That is win number
six, because the Bills really only
have one offensive threat in Willis
McGahee, their running back,
and the Chargers are superb at
stopping the run.
The following week the Chargers travel to Washington to take
on the Redskins. I think that
game is a toss up against a much
improved Redskins team, but
since it is in Washington I will
give it to the Redskins.
After the Redskins, the Raiders
come to town for a Sunday Night
Football match-up. The Chargers
will easily take that game for
win number seven, because the
Raiders couldn't stop most Pop
Warner teams from scoring.

Golfers:
has never been a threat to score
touchdowns, so calling plays
for Neal rather than LaDainian
Tomlinson makes about as much
sense as Britney Spears opening
for Snoop Dogg.
Secondly, Drew Brees needs
to call some audibles at the line.
Since Marty Schottenheimer and
Cameron are more conservative
than President Bush, Brees needs
to offset his coaches by calling
his own plays at the line.
Finally, the Chargers need LT
to touch the ball at least 25 times
per game. I don't care if LT runs
the ball, is thrown to, passes it, or
kicks it; he is going to find a way
to get into the end zone.
If those three things don't
happen over the next seven
games, then the Chargers will
be sitting at home watching the
Colts and Panthers work their
way to the super bowl.

�Rebuttal to The Robbins Report:
First, I would like to
comment on the fact that for
one to accurately report on
an event, students should
be able to assume that the
writer actually attended the
event. I was unable to attend
this year, but last year I was
able to hear Carol Leigh
(Sluts Unite speaker) and I
learned a great deal about
many issues surrounding sex
workers and I was in no way
as you suggested influenced
to become one myself.
Second, just to clarify,
ASI money is not state
money it is student fee
money. ASI events are not

funded by tax dollars, or the
public as, you had claimed
in your article.
Lastly, why the influence
of censorship, just because
the issue is not your own
personal favorite? Do you
really mean for ASI to censor
speakers simply because
they are controversial? We
are in college! Why are
students not encouraged
and given the credibility to
think critically and make
decisions for themselves by
being actively engaged in
ALL sorts of classes, topics,
conversations, and events?
Do you really think
that women are going to
"engage in random sexual
acts" because of a speaker?
Carol Leigh does not share
her experience to influence
students to become sex
workers. Had you attended
the event you may have
had these facts. I find your
lack of faith in students and
especially women (since
that is where most of your
comments were directed)
very disheartening.
When our constitutional
right to freedom of speech
has been in jeopardy several
times the last few years,
such as the attempted
censorship of Michael
Moore and the fight against
Senator Morrow's SB5, I
would hope that students
would defend their right
to academic freedom and
encourage each other to
critically think about issues.
This does not mean agree
or disagree with them but to
have the freedom , to make
that choice on their own!
Sometimes when we step
outside our own comfort
box, we learn the most.
I recommend this sort
of engagement to your
opposition suggesting that
you have all the answers.

I would like to remind
students the stance that
you took in your "report"
about "Sluts Unite" stating,
"I've decided to provide my
own answers; and you're
welcome." Welcome for
what? Why did you fail to
include in your "report" that
you did not attend the event?
I am disappointed.
That being said, I
believe in the students
on this campus and their
ability to think critically for
themselves and find their

has the better case because I have
heaps of homework.
One ought not to fret though,
for I do have a few opinions on
this matter. Congressman Duncan's wet cement dream reminds
me of another current event
involving a city in Texas.
On Tuesday, the folks of White
Settlement, Texas, voted not to
rename the city to West Settlement, Texas. Opponents of the
proposed name-swap charged
that proponents were attempting
to "discard" the city's "heritage".
Apparently, the White Settlement

west for that matter), and I'm
opposed to Mr. Duncan's plan, I
would consider gathering signatures for a name-swap initiative
in an area of California that was
originally settled by folks from
Mexico. I would reference the
residents of White Settlement,
and argue that city names that
merely reflect an area's history
are cool. And then we'd have
Brown Settlement, CA.
While such a move would not
have much of an effect on a proposed or completed border fence,
it'd probably be a nice way to
stick it to Congressman Duncan.

�How To ... Play Texas H old ' Em
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
Poker, a timeless game has
gained recent popularity with a
novel twist. Texas Hold'Em is the
latest craze in poker, especially
on college campuses, due to the
popularity of TV shows covering poker tournaments, like the
World Series of Poker and Celebrity Poker.
In Texas Hold'Em, each player
is dealt two cards face
down, which is followed by the first
round of betting.
A fter the dealer
"burns" a card, a
"flop" of three cards
is turned face up on
the table. The dealer
then reveal the fourth

as the " turn" and the
"river", with a round
of betting and folding in between each.
With the five community cards
on the table, each player who is
still in the hand will use their

Derek Carson, who wrote an
article for pokerpages.com about
finding a game, said "finding a
poker game on a college campus
is easier than finding a cocktail
waitress in Las Vegas." So what's
the allure? Well first off, the
game has better odds than any
other game because players are
playing against each other and do
not have to overcome the house
edge.
Secondly, the game is more
competitive, relying more on

Lastly, it doesn't take a lot to

Play online for free, without risk. Or for only 40 dollars,
you can have the chance to win

Just to get an idea of how big
this poker trend is, sales of chip
sets reached 10 million in 2004,
and online poker revenues worldwide increased to more than 1
billion last year.
Clearly, Texas Hold'Em has
made its mark on college campuses, online, and in casinos
around the nation. There's no

to swordfish and tofu. According
to a press release, Stone CEO
Greg Koch said, "Stone fans will
find the quality and character of
our menu to match that of our
beers, and for those that are not
fully up to speed on just what
that means, it means that people
can expect to find a lot of quality
and a lot of character." Koch says
this will be reflected in a menu
that will lean heavily towards
items that are locally fresh and
naturally raised, tossed liberally with spices, unique sauces
and influences from around the
world.
Stone Brewing Co. was started
in 1996 by two beer lovers, Greg
Koch and Steve Wagner. The
two met up after a class at UC
Davis entitled "Sensory Evaluation of Beer." They found out that
they had similar ideas in brewing
and both shared the same passion
for beer.
After keeping in touch for a few
years and brainstorming ideas for
opening their own brewery, they
made it a reality. The San Diego
Union Tribune said "Calling
Koch and Wagner beer experts
may be an understatement."
With the incredible success the
brewery has had in the past nine
years, this statement is undoubtedly true.
While the new brewery is being
built, tours and beer tasting are

hopes to be the first woman president. "My favorite song is 'First
Woman President' because it's
the first song I ever wrote, during
one of my CSUSM lectures. And,
it's what I want to be, the first
woman president, it embodies
who I am," said Liberty.
She has two main sources of
inspirationr the inequalities she
sees in the world and other artists that she respects. Her biggest
musical influences are Missy
Elliot and Nas. She is inspired by
Missy Elliot because "She helps
new artists. The media shunned
her because of her weight, but
she went against that. It's what I
want to do. I'm not perfect, I'm
not what society sees as beautiful, but I'm happy and I wouldn't
change a thing," said Liberty.
She respects Nas because he
stays true to himself and his fans.
"He doesn't have to sell out to
gain a great audience. He's unique
and I admire that. He hasn't gone
down to anyone else's level; they
all try to rise to his. He's on top of
his game," said Liberty.
At the end of Miz Liberty's
last show, she went up on stage
and battled a black, male rapper.

Karen S. Haynes salary was
$203,376, but with the salary
increase she now brings home
$230,232, not including her
$60,000 dollar annual housing
allowance and a $1,000 monthly
car allowance. As a result, many
campus presidents now get a
housing allowance that's larger
than the starting salary of most
assistant professors.
"Realistically, this won't have
much effect on students financially. For example, at CSUSM,
our President got a raise of
$27,000. If you divide that by
approximately 7000 students
that means that it cost each student about $4. So it's likely to
have a greater effect on students'
morale than their pocketbooks,"
says Dr. Linda Holt, chairperson
for Academic Senate.
. The trustees recognize compensation for presidents and
system executives as a key element in the California State
University's success. The Board
of Trustees say that the ability to offer a competitive salary
increase is critical to the CSU's
ability to recruit and retain key
executives who are competent
and visionary leaders. Higher
education in California shares in
a national system that has a very
limited pool of qualified executives, and not only do we compete with these key institutions
for new executives, but CSU
executives are under pressure
to consider highly competitive
offers from these same institutions. The executive salary
increase for campus presidents
and system executives has the
objective of maintaining a competitive market position.

Dr. Holt says, "On the one hand,
it's important that we pay our pres-
first. This includes examining the
police report to see what descriptions the victims gave versus the
evidence uncovered by the police
department's investigation. This
also includes using the responses
given in an interview with the
suspect of both cases and comparing his claims to those of the
other two women involved. The
suspect has denied any involvement in acts of sexual battery at
University Village, but has been
made aware that he is considered
a strong suspect in the matter.
The suspect's name and
descriptors are available, for
anyone who seeks it, at the University Police Department.
According to the Public Records

Government Code, such details
about a person can become public

endanger the safety of a person or
endanger successful completion
of an investigation. Information
can also be released if factual circumstances surround the crime

"University Police has completed its investigation of this
matter and offered up all substantial evidence to the District
Attorney for review. Therefore,
releasing the suspect's name will
not interfere with our efforts,"
said Chief of Police Aaron Woodard, To obtain more information
about these cases, contact University Police at 760-750-4567.

idents salaries that are competitive
with those at other institutions, so
that we can hire and retain the best
people. But on the other hand, the
timing of this increase is unfortunate - we are giving large raises
to presidents at the same time as
we are asking students to tighten
their belts." At the same time
they boosted the President salary
increases, the Board of Trustees
raised student fees another eight
percent, and proposed that their
fees increase ten percent each
year for the nextfiveyears.
"Twenty-seven of the Board's
implemented a housing allowance for CSU executives. Some
university presidents are required
to live in official university provided residences. CSU provides
official residences at Dominguez
Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Long
Beach, Maritime Academy, Monterey Bay, Northridge, Pomona,
San Diego and San Jose. Where
official CSU residences are not
available, the Board of Trustees
provides CSU presidents assistance with their housing. The
presidents' residences are used
for university business including an executive office, university meetings, university-related
entertainment, social functions
and fundraising.
"It is clear to everyone that housing costs in California are much
higher than in other parts of the
country. Ifpresidential salaries are
49.5 percent less than at comparable institutions, and there is, on
top of that, no adjustment for the
high cost of housing, we're asking
a lot for someone to accept leadership positions on our campuses.
Also, keep in mind the demands
that are placed on presidents for
opening up their personal homes
to the campus and the community.
Offering different amounts to
presidents in different parts of the
state allows the CSU to adjust the
payment to local needs within the
state." says Neal Hoss, vice president offinanceand administrative
services.
The last comprehensive change
was made in the summer of2000.
Housing assistance has been reassessed this year in view of equity,
housing maintenance costs and
services, real estate market
changes and housing market relationships.
In addition to the housing
assistance, the Board of Trustees' adopted a resolution that
provides presidents the option of
receiving a $750-1,000 per month
automobile allowance in lieu of
a University vehicle, to support
university related business travel
requirements.
Students, staff, and faculty
members have been deeply disturbed by the direction the Trustees are taking the people's university. On the one hand, they are
making the system increasingly
unaffordable to eligible students.
On the other hand, they are failing to pay its faculty and staff
enough to survive in this high
cost of living state. For more

Pride article titled Sexual Battery
at UVA, printed on Nov. 8, it was
through the investigation of this

found who gave descriptions of a
suspect that matched those of the
first victim, further implicating
the case's suspect.
Because the incidents of last

Professor brings the luck of the Irish to CSUSINI courses
Irish Professor will be offering unique courses on Irish politics and history for the Spring 2 006 semester
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
The political science and history departments will be hosting a visiting scholar, Professor
Anthony O'Halloran, from Ireland to teach courses in Irish politics and history in the Spring 2006
semester. The courses Professor
O'Halloran will be offering are:
The Politics of Irish Nationalism,
Politics and Society in Ireland,
Conflict Resolution in Northern
Ireland, and The Politics of European Union Integration. Course
information and class schedules
are available on the web through
the SMART system.
According to Cynthia Chavez
Metoyer, professor, department
chair and internship coordinator f or the political science
department, " The courses are
open to students of all majors.
However, students will want to
check with their f aculty advisor if they are u nsure how the
courses might count toward t he
University or m ajor requirements." Currently, the politi-
cal science department does
not have a tenure-track faculty
member who teaches eastern,
western or central European
politics, said Metoyer.
"Students will have the opportunity to learn about three important cases, namely Ireland, Northern Ireland and/or the European
Union. Each case study raises
interesting questions and offers
important lessons—economic,
social and political—that are relevant for citizens in a global society," said Metoyer.
"Approximately 50 million
Americans claim some Irish
ancestry so students can gain
more knowledge about their Irish
roots and ancestral homeland,"
stated Patty Seleski, professor
and department chair of the history department.
"Given his experience and
expertise, and add this to his
background as an international scholar, O'Halloran can
o ffer students a global view of
the world and an opportunity
to look at issues f rom a completely different perspective,"
said Seleski. O'Halloran has
taught in the United States, Ireland, and the Ukraine, among
other countries, so he is aware
of the differences between the
Irish and U.S. university systems. He has a great sense of
humor and is dedicated to his
students and interested in creating courses that will be interesting to American students,
according to Seleski.
O'Halloran mentioned that his
courses will provide students with
a sense of past and present Ireland
and will be a unique opportunity
to study Irish politics and history,
taught directly from an Irishman.
"The concepts of change and
transformation will be central to
both my Irish politics and history
courses. Ireland is quite simply a
fascinating country to study. The
past fifteen years have been ones
of profound transformation," said
O'Halloran.
"Politically, socially and economically, the Ireland of 2005
bears little resemblance to the
Ireland of 1985. Ireland has one
of the best performing econo-
mies in the world. The authority of the Catholic Church has
collapsed. As such, modern Ireland is becoming quite secular.
This compares with the 1950s,
for example, when the Church
was a major social and political
actor and when Irish society was
fragmenting because of emigration. Whilst contemporary Ireland is a very dynamic country, there is also a great sense
of unease. Many commentators
argue that citizens have become
too selfish. We are, it is suggested, a nation of self regarding consumers rather than other
regarding citizens," commented
O'Halloran, about the ample
information behind what can be
gained through studying Irish
politics.
"My focus in the Northern
Irish politics course will be on
conflict resolution in a deeply
divided society. A fter thousands of deaths and injuries,
Northern Ireland is currently
at peace. The course will trace
the historical origins of the conflict. It will emphasize that the

Assemblyman
te speak on
campus
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
Educating students,
faculty and campus
guests about fetishes
and 'culturally poetic
sexual
expression',
guest speaker and
Cal State San Marcos
graduate
student,
Chuck Bailey, explored
Chuck Bailey
the psychological and
socio-cultural dimensions of sexual arousal and e gression, on
Wednesday, Nov. 16.
Fetishes are defined as something, such
as a material object or a nonsexual part of
the body that arouses sexual desire and may
become necessary for sexual gratification.
Bailey says, "I think there is a certain
stigma associated with fetishes. A fetish
always implies a dysfunction, and not every
fetish is a dysfunction. Fetish then becomes
a j unk work."
Fetishes can often be defined by culture. According to Bailey's presentation,
the U.S. has popularized sex and fetishism.
Body modification was one of the topics discussed in the forum. The U.S. is well-known
for practicing body modifications including
breast implants, body piercing, bras and corsets. The idea expressed by Chuck Bailey was
to understand that all cultures have different
practices regarding body modifications.
The Chinese had a tradition called feet
binding, practiced for over 1,000 years. Feet
binding usually began when-the girl was
four and took about five years to complete.
If the process was started too late, the feet
would be too large and not supple enough to
bend, but starting too soon would carry the
danger that the girl would be crippled for life
and possibly b e unable to walk. Bound feet
was a mark of the Han Chinese considered
in that culture to be the mark of belonging
to a more civilized echelon of people. Those
who did not participate in this process were
considered barbarians.
There were sexual reasons behind bind-
conflict must always b e understood as a human tragedy," said
O'Halloran.
O'Halloran promotes class participation because he sees teaching as a dialogue, and he is not
traveling from Ireland to merely
deliver
monologues,
stated
O'Halloran. Ideally, students will
finish the courses having gained
new perspectives with a desire
to learn more about the course
topics and will have also developed their critical analytical faculties.
According to O'Halloran, he
loves his job and the classroom
interaction it provides and feels
students and teachers are privileged to be given the opportunity
to study and learn. He is excited
about his first visit to California
and hopes to learn more about
Californian politics, culture and
history.
"So if you see a lost Irishman
on campus please point him in
the right direction...to the nearest blue ocean where the sand is
warm and the sun shines," said
O'Halloran.

ing feet; it was the longest-lived fetish in
the world. After binding the feet, the lower
legs atrophied. The woman would use her
hip muscles to move relying less on leg
muscles resulting in enlargement of the hip
muscles and also of the perineum muscle.
The perineum is the small area between the
anus and vagina. Binding did increase the
shrinkage power of the vagina, which was
an appeal of this process. In 1895, foot binding was outlawed in China and is no longer
practiced.
Other topics discussed in the forum were
paraphilias, which are recurrent intense sexuality arousing fantasies, urges, behaviors,
generally involving non-humans, objects,
or the suffering or humiliation of oneself or
partner. Some of the paraphilias focused on
clinical fetishism. Clinical fetishism is when
the fetish becomes a problem with fantasy,
such as Transvestism, S & M, and Bondage.
An example of paraphilias is bondage,
where someone, usually persons of power, is
put into a more subjective role, to fulfill their
fantasies. Some of the treatments discussed
about clinical paraphilias are psychoanalysis
and behavior modification.
The intended purposes of the forum were
to project cultural difference of various
fetishes and provide a better understanding of 'culturally poetic sexual expression*.
The idea, presented by Bailey, was to try
to withhold judgment and understand the
context presented. Bailey has offered this
forum before and it has gained great interest
by students, faculty, and guests. Bailey is a
graduate student working towards his Masters at Cal State San Marcos. If you would
like more information, please contact Chuck
Baileyatcb999@cox.net.
Assemblyman Ray Haynes (R)
held an open forum on Wednesday Nov. 16 at the Mezzanine on
Cal State San Marcos, sponsored
by the College Republicans. The
Assemblyman for district 66 was
promoting his initiative for a state
run border patrol and his "Board
of Equalization."
The initiative, known as the
"California Border Police Act,"
would set into place a state police
department whose main purpose would be to assist the federal Border Patrol. It would also
enforce state wide immigration
laws. Such laws would include
employer enforcement of these
laws.
"We have about three quarters
of the signatures we need for this
initiative," said Assemblyman
Haynes, during the open forum.
"The Board of Equalization",
"A quasi-judicial office, the BOE
hears the appeals of taxpayers
(both individuals and businesses)
who feel state taxing authorities
have ruled incorrectly," reads the
Web site supporting the initiative.
"I was happy with the turn out,"
said Haynes about the crowd. He
stated that there was an open flow
of people coming and going.

Quickstats
about
CSUSM
available
BY KIMBERLY RAYMOND
Pride Staff Writer
Did you know that 63.5 percent
of CSUSM is female? Or that
58.4 percent of freshmen come
from North San Diego County?
The average student at CSUSM
most likely does not know the
basics of our campus. There is
now no excuse because interesting facts about the demographics
of our campus are readily available in the pocket-sized handbook, Quickstats 2006.
According to publications
manager, George Cagala, "It's
an economical way of presenting a clear, concise profile of the
campus as it relates to students
(age, gender, ethnicity, etc.); faculty, budgets, financial aid and
other info."
The fingertip facts and figures booklet contains a map of
the campus and phone numbers
from the various departments at
CSUSM. It also provides a brief
history of the campus.
For instance, of the 210 tenured and tenure-track faculty
members, 209 have a doctorate or
the highest degree in their field.
The annual payroll for CSUSM
employees is included in Quickstats, as well as the most popular
major, which is business administration, followed by liberal studies. Of the 7,500 students who
attend Cal State San Marcos,
approximately 3,954 received
financial aid for the 2004-2005
school year.
This handy booklet was funded
by the University Advancement
publications budget, and is an
informative and f un resource for
anyone who may be interested in
the campus.
Quickstats is perfect for student orientations, community
events and chamber of commerce
meetings. Prospective employees
and students will find the booklet
very convenient in learning more
about their future campus. Parents of students as well as donors
and volunteers will also find this
compendium of campus facts and
figures useful.
The basic statistical information was gathered from various departments at CSUSM and
compiled into one pocket-sized
booklet. To gain more knowledge

equipment, preparing food and
furnishing the tables beneath the
camouflage netting. Everything
from the fixings to the volunteer
labor force to the floral department trimmings was donated by
south Orange County Albertsons stores in conjunction with
the Irvine distribution center.
"This is what we do; we're
in the food business," remarked
Shuit. "Sometimes, people
take freedom for granted. We
are trying to make the situation better for them before they
deploy. Our freedoms are a direct
result of the service of these men
and women."
Like any true holiday celebration, there was food, family,
games, music and prizes. "We'll
be raffling off TVs, DVDs, and
all the way down to oil changes.
We'll even be offering a weekend package to a resort for four,"
said Lt. Col Kozenisky proudly*
"It's unreal how much support
we've gotten. Albertson's especially," mentioned Sgt. Stephen
Ferguson. "This event is giving
the Marines a Thanksgiving and
Christmas with families since
they won't be here to celebrate
with them."
Jackie Ferguson, the mother
of Sgt. Stephen Ferguson, spearheaded the event acknowledging
the connection she feels with the
service men and women. "When
you see them, your heart gets
all warm and you can't stand to
help think what theses guys are
missing," said Jackie. "I'm just
trying to give them a little piece
of home before they leave."
environment encourages students (and staff and faculty) to
NOT talk about race and racism
with one another and as long as
we maintain that silence, justice
cannot happen. This course takes
a racial group called "whites" as
worry about how they will be
skinny like her. Girls of color
can never look like her (as far
as being white), which sends
a message that they are not as
important." Studies have been
conducted on nonwhite Barbie,
and statistically kids of all ethnicities for the most part have
chosen the white Barbie as more
beautiful and more desirable
than nonwhite dolls. White is
desired in this country because
white equals power and privilege. Mattel Public Relations
Michelle Llorin says, "Mattel
was the first company to have
ethnic Barbie dolls plus Barbie's
first best friend was Christine
and African American Barbie
doll."
Mattel introduced Barbie's
first friend Christie, and A frican-American Barbie in 1968.
Mattel is the first toy company
to have produced ethnic Barbie's
and carries them all year round.
Currently, Barbie comes in Hispanic, African American and
Asian versions all around the
world. Mattel states three Barbie
dolls are sold every second
somewhere in the world. With
more than $3 billion in retail,
Barbie is the number one girl's
brand worldwide. The Barbie
Doll continues to be a top seller
for the toy company Mattel.
The forum will discuss Barbie
and the impacts it holds on girls
in today's society. The student
will share what they know and
offer support to student activism.
Professor Liliana Rossmann
said, " I've attended the forum
in the past and I have learned
a lot. Growing up in Mexico,
I had an entirely different
perspective on Whiteness. In
Mexico, I am considered
" white" because my ancestors (some of them, anyway)
came f rom Spain. In the U.S.,
the categories are different, so
I_am supposed to check a different box: Hispanic, which is
a cultural category, not a racial
or. ethnic category. This boxchecking reminds me of how
these categories are socially
c onstructed, as are our interpretations thereof."
The forum will be a provocative, interactive, experiential
space in which students, faculty,
and guests can explore assumptions and misconceptions about
race and whiteness. Students,
faculty, and guests will leave
with a better understanding of
the concepts of whiteness and be
motivated to learn more.
The forum will be held from
11:15-12:45 p.m. in Commons
206 on Thursday, Dec. 1.
MARINES, from page 1
according to Diconti.
With the gracious support of
Albertsons, the early holiday
picnic and celebration had all
the necessary ingredients for
a deliciotis assortment of meal
options. "We'll have turkey, ham,
prime rib, and all the fixings. It's
a complete holiday meal," said
Fred Shuit, senior vice president
of Albertsons grocery stores.
Over a hundred Albertson's
associates were on site unloading
WHITENESS, from page 1
Laura Hansen says, "Whiteness is not easy to explain; I
believe whiteness means power
and privilege at the expense
of others' disadvantage. Most
whites would say I am not a
racist and I would say maybe not
aggressively, but passively, we
are because of the stereotypes
we are fed daily through the
media, laws and institutions."
COMM 454 was first offered
in Fall 2003 and was the result
of an independent study that
Professor Dreama Moon conducted with a small group of
communication students. Given
her research in whiteness studies and the response that she
received from students when
she presented information about
her research, it was decided by
the department to develop this
course.
"I felt that this course was
imperative in terms of my goal
of social and racial justice. It is
important to talk about whites
and white supremacy in a conscious and critical way that
help students understand both
the history of race, racism, and
white supremacy in the U.S. and
its historical legacy and present day manifestation. The old
conservative politically correct
a critical object, w hich i s gener-
ally not done in most academic
forums," said Professor Moon.
Students in Moon's class have
been preparing for this forum by
looking in depth into topics such
as Barbie, beauty products and
political cartoons. In the Whiteness class, the students read and
discuss all aspects of whiteness.
Moon mentioned that, "It is
important that young people
learn that they can effect change
and that they have important
insights about the world to share.
The forum will allow my students to realize and utilize their
expertise in the area of whiteness."
Students are looking in depth
at how whiteness effects the
topic they are studying. Hansen,
a student in COMM 454 is studying Barbie dolls and how whiteness ties in with Barbie. Barbie
is one of the biggest icons in the
world produced by Mattel. She
represents what is considered
beautiful in this country, which
is represented as white. Laura

'Thinks-giving'
Quest
B YLIZZ OSBOURNE
Pride Staff Writer
As a student at Cal State, and
a fulltime professional, I rarely
have time to simply relax and
unwind, so I have learned to make
the most of my allotted holidays.
I must admit that last Thanksgiving, while bundled-up in a
mountain cabin at Lake Arrowhead with the "love of my life",
I would've never envisioned this
year's solo trek to the bottom of
the Grand Canyon. Then again,
life is f ull of surprises. [I suppose many aspects of life could
be taken in with great dread and
horror, like the unexpected end of
a highly romantic relationship, or
they could be embraced as a part
of our greater individual growth,
and welcomed in with new adventures.]
The woman I was last Thanksgiving no longer exists. She was
a solid, levelheaded professional
investigating the possibilities of
a personal life aside from college
and the boardroom. She snuggled a handsome French gentleman beside a roaring fire, drank
hot chocolate and reflected with
calm joy on the mundane artifacts in that simple mountain
cabin, as snow fell gently against
the icy windows. She danced in
the kitchen, as she hadn't done in
years, and lingered on his every
breath as he whispered sweet
fantasies into her ear. She wanted
very much to be swept away, but
I think that woman was very
afraid, and wanted desperately to
believe in something beyond her
deeply guarded inner world. Yes,
that woman went away, but she
made room for the bolder one sitting here today, carefully packing
her ruck sack for four days in the
great outdoors.
This will be my first "Thinks"giving. I am a bit apprehensive,
but I thought this might be a solid
and rewarding way to face my
fear of isolation, to even admit to
it, as I often consider myself the
world's biggest loner. I'm expecting a true adventure, even a bit of
a vision quest, a way to get back
in touch with my own power and
gentle thoughts.
I will begin Thanksgiving
morning on the South Rim, and
gradually make my way twelve
miles below to Supai Village in
the Havasupai lands. Havasupai means "people of the bluegreen water," and I too grew up
around blue-green water, near
Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras.
Back then I was a bold mountain girl, bursting with hopes
and dreams. So, as I hike down
the windy paths, I will watch the
sky and listen for whispers in the
wind. Somewhere there might be
signs of what is in store for me, or
of what I now seek from without
and within.
The main goal of this quest is
to grab onto some new dreams,
or perhaps ask the Earth to return
Photos c ourtesy of L izz O sbourne / The Pride
some of my old ones, as I must
have set them down somewhere.
I hope t o return to finish this
semester at Cal State San Marcos
with a renewed sense of spirit and
"thanksgiving."
Happy Trails, and Happy
Thanksgiving to all!
A holiday reflections, a Thanksgiving pledge
BY BRIAN MASON
Pride Staff Writer
When I think of Thanksgiving I usually think of drunken
relatives watching football after
stuffing themselves with turkey.
This Thanksgiving will be
slightly different. Instead of
many relatives, there will only be
immediate family i.e. my brother,
me, my father and mother.
In retrospect, I look back at
Thanksgivings when my grandmother would come over bearing apple pie, stumbling from her
car because carpel tunnel and a
weary spirit hindered her movement.
She is still with us, but in Michigan, where the wind blows cold,
and the snow catches the shim-

mering sunlight, naturally blinding everything around.
This is the first time she has
been gone since I was born, and
the impact has taken a heavy toll
on my family's spirits. Nonetheless, this Thanksgiving will be
spent in best of spirits as alcohol
flows and the memory of family
members warms our minds.
Thanksgiving is about giving.
It says it in the name. We are not
a religious family, but all our
thoughts go to a member thousands of miles away, as we stuff
turkey and wine into our gluttonous bellies. Thanksgiving is
a remembrance of good times
past and of great times to come.
The social anxiety that grips the
human spirit is sent elsewhere as
we remember the ones we love
and give thanks and praise to
those we care most for.
This Thanksgiving I will be
drunk, remembering all that life
has offered me, and all that life
has taken from me. I will spend
Thanksgiving with friends and
family that comfort me through
the unnecessary pitfalls that we
encounter on a daily basis.
This Thanksgiving I will be
thankful.
This Thanksgiving I will be
remembering.
This Thanksgiving I will be
honoring.
This Thanksgiving I will be
loved.

Toy drive re-ignites
holiday flame
BY MONIQUE NIESLEY
Special to The Pride
With Thanksgiving almost
here, students may be starting
to feel the Grinch-like effects of
too much holiday commercialism: Christmas décor went up
in most stores right after Halloween, the Christmas-themed
commercials began soon after,
and the pre-Christmas sales have
already started. Even in the midst
of a nice turkey coma, many still
have to figure out a way to juggle
shopping with their finals schedule.
None of this does much good
for fostering "peace on earth" or
"good will towards men."
If you'd like a quick, sure-fire
way to change all that, the CSUSM
Pre-Health Society (PHS) has the
remedy: make a donation to their
annual toy-clothing-food drive.
"I had a magical experience
when I donated toys and helped
give them out to needy kids in
Escondido," said Phoenix Lindgren, PHS President. "It was a
Christmas morning I'll never
forget." Lindgren hopes to spread
the magic to her fellow students,
staff, and faculty through the
PHS toy drive.
"In past years, the Pre-Health
Society has just accepted donations of used clothing—and we
want to continue that tradition—
but we also wanted to expand our
effort to reach out to more people
that arc part o f o ur c ommunity,"

she explained. "The Interfaith
Council serves the needs of the
poorest people living here in the
North County—we are hoping to
not only gather clothing for their
homeless clients, but toys for the
kids this year, too."
According to the Interfaith web
site (www.interfaithservices.org),
their clients need everything from
baby formula to bus passes, from
school supplies to toothpaste.
"If you can't afford to donate
a toy you can probably afford to
donate a couple of toothbrushes
or a stick of deodorant—everything helps."
That said, Lindgren went on to
show that helping the children is
what really motivates her.
"The kids started lining up
outside the Interfaith Council
building at 3a.m.," recalls Lindgren. "They were each allowed
to choose one 'big' toy and one
stuffed animal. They took such
care to make their choices, older
kids would pick out something for
a younger sister or brother rather
than something for themselves;
the kids were so loving and thankful and generous... I can't wait to
go back this Christmas, even if I
do have to be there at 5a.m. What
else am I gonna be doing at 5a.m.

The hidden costs of discounted student travel
Student learns a lesson
in accomodation
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Special To The Pride
As a broke college student, I am always
looking for new ways to cut corners, but
recently my frugal nature got the best of
me.
With Thanksgiving and Winter Break
quickly approaching, I only hope that my
fellow CSUSM students can learn from
my mistakes. When it comes to holiday
travel plans, be wary of deceptive student
discounts.
When planning a trip to Boston this
October, I searched for deals on Expedia,
Priceline, Orbitz, Hotwire, and Cheaptickets, but the plane ticket prices were
astronomical, and the hotel packages they
offered were equally outrageous. I had
seen a student travel office in PB and was
curious to see what kinds of fares they
offered.
The travel agent at STA Travel was
friendly and seemed interested in my
travel plans. She immediately found tickets for $150 less than I had been able to
find on my own. When I explained to her
that my friend and I were both racing at
"Head of the Charles," a competitive
regatta in Boston, she offered to find us a
hotel nearby as well.
She found us lodging a mere 10 minutes
from the racecourse and, to my surprise, it
was only $80 per night. All of the hotels I
had searched for on my own were at least
$300,1 was delighted by the good news.
In fact, I was so pleased with my initial experience that I emailed the travel
agent, thanked her for her assistance and
requested contact information so I could
write an article about STA Travel upon
returning from Boston. I hoped to title my
article something like, "STA Travel: Good
Deals and Great Service for Students."
Two weeks before our trip I contacted our
hotel, The Battlefield Inn, and requested a
non-smoking room, as my travel companion and I are both allergic to smoke, and
needed to be in peak-condition for our
races. The front desk assured me that our
room would be non-smoking.
Our hotel seemed mòre like an apartment
complex as we checked in at one building
before walking back outside under artificial awnings.
On the way to our room, we both noticed
the thick and overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke. Immediately upon opening
the door the same intense smell flooded
toward us, this time obviously masked by

We immediately returned to the front
desk, requested a new room, and were
taken by the manager to smell three other
rooms, all of which were intolerable.
Finally, we arrived at a room on the
second floor and decided that we had

We awoke to ourfirstmorning in Boston

a trip to Mexico, also through STA Travel,
I might have avoided another near-disaster.
My boyfriend and I had wanted to take
a vacation to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, and found a very affordable package
using the STA Travel website. After looking at pictures of many different hotels,
we settled on the Marbella Suites, which
featured beautiful rooms, a clear pristine
swimming pool, and looked like a pictureperfect paradise.
We were greeted at the front of our hotel
by a starving stray puppy, covered with
mange and dragging an injured leg. It lied
down on the tile stairs amid piles of dead
ants.
Being an animal lover, I cried each and
every time we passed it, and we ended up
spending $150 and a majority of our time
helping the dog.
Although the staff at Marbella Suites
was friendly and accommodating, our
room was nothing like the one featured in
the pictures. We had no television, no blow
dryer, no closet, and our bathroom was in
neglected condition.
The beautiful swimming pool we had
seen online was choked with leaves, dirt
and other debris.
"With hotels, you get what you pay for,"
says Cooper.
I guess I should have known when the
description featured only three stars.
Although we are able to look back and
laugh about our terribly unromantic vacation in Cabo, we didn't see the humor in it
at the time.
Once again, it's possible that we could
have salvaged our romantic getaway by
simply picking up the phone, but I guess
we'll never know.

our hotel (in Lexington) to the race course
(in Cambridge) as we couldn't afford a 50
dollar one-way cab ride.
On the bus ride back from the race
course, the driver asked "you do know that
the upper floors of the Battlefield Inn are
lower income housing?"
This explained the babies crying and
cats wandering around.
From that point on, we lovingly referred
to our hotel as "The Minefield Inn," and
knew that we had to get out of there.
Fortunately, a friend of ours had an extra
room at the Holiday Inn Select in Cambridge and let us stay there for free. After
what we'd been through it seemed like The
Ritz Carlton.
Thanks to a good night's sleep, my friend
and I both went on to have great races.
Anticipating a lot of return traffic at the
airport, we were careful to get there two
hours before our flight. When we arrived
at the airport, however, we were unable to
check in at the electronic travel kiosk, and
couldn't find our flight on the information
board.
An airline agent informed us that our
flight had been cancelled in August.
"Your travel agent should have let you
know," he explained.
The agent was able to get us on another
flight, but now we had to endure a 4 hour
layover in Atlanta. We spent all four hours
cursing STA Travel's incompetence, swearing never to use their services again.
After speaking with Adam Cooper, STA
Travel's District Manager of San Diego, it
is now clear to me that instead of complaining to each other, we should have
been complaining to STA Travel.
"If you get to a destination and it's bad,
you can give us a call," said Cooper. He
explained that if students book a trip

I think Boston College can

Craig Smith, and my former elementary school classmate, Jared
Dudley. However, they don't have
any perimeter shooting and just
like last year, they will fall short

I think the biggest bust this
year will be Texas Tech. I don't
see why so many people have
them ranked in the top 20. They
have way too many freshmen on
one team to be successful. They
have no star power, and not to
mention, Bobby Knight hasn't
won jack since 1987.
The two saddest teams to
watch this season will be North
Carolina and Illinois. North Carolina lost everyone. If they win
10-games I will be impressed.
Illinois still has Dee Brown and
James Augustine, but I don't
expect them to be in the top 25 at
seasons end.
Now for the sleepers. Maryland is going to be very impressive this year. D.J. Strawberry
is back and healthy. James Gist
will become a star and a force
to be reckoned with. Nik CanerMedley.and Ekene Ibekwe will
fill nice complimentary roles.
I honestly, see them making at
least the sweet 16.
I may look like a fool now
for saying this, but I think San
Diego State could be a sleeper
this year. Brandon Heath does
crazy things with the basketball.
Marcus Slaughter kills his opponents under the basket. A SDSU
team with two future NBA quality players is something that I
can't remember seeing in my
lifetime. Not to mention they
play in a weak Mountain West
Conference. I can see the Aztecs
winning a game in the NCAA
tourney.
However, I think the true
sleeper of them all will be
UCLA. Jordan Farmar Arron
Afflao, arid Cedric Bozeman
provide the young star power.
Luc Mbah a Moute could be one
of those rare freshmen that have
a huge impact on a team's success. The Bruins do have some
tough competition in the Pac10, with Arizona and Stanford
there to challenge them in the
regular season. That challenge
will prepare the young team for
the NCAA tourney, and don't be
surprised if you see UCLA in
the elite 8 in March.

Robbins Report
Fee increases not so unfair?
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
Clarifications regarding Ms.
Sarah Leonard's rebuttal:
As it concerns your insinuation that I tried to deceive readers into thinking that I attended
the event, if one actually reads
the article it should become clear
that my knowledge of the event
was based on my reading about it
in "The Pride"
She said: "First I would like to
comment on the fact that for one
to accurately report on an event,
students should be able to assume
that the writer actually attended
the event."
Clarification: If you want to
argue that folks have to attend
events in order to be able to provide commentary about them,
then there is heaps of literature
that you may want to avoid.
She said: "Do you really mean
for ASI to censor speakers simply
because they are controversial?"
I say: No, I mean for ASI to be
more reasonable in serving the
needs of the student body, for ASI
claims to be the "officially recognized voice of the students." And
I simplyfindit hard to believe that
the student body is best served by
events like "Sluts Unite".
Now, on to this week's topic:
Fee increases at the CSU.
So here's the deal: On October 27, The California State
University Board of Trustees
(folks in the clouds twirling
wands and wearing crowns)
agreed on a budget request that
would increase funding for the
CSU at a level consistent with
the Compact for Higher Education. Oh, and the budget
request is also designed to
increase undergraduate tuition
to an average total of $3,368 per
year for California residents.
This figure includes average
campus-based fees.
So our fees are going up. Are
you interested? Does this news
upset you? I reckon that it should,
for losing money is painful. And
as one of my professors told me,
people like pleasure and dislike
pain. .
I have the privilege (a privilege above all other privileges)
to work with some of the folks in
ASI, and they seem quite miffed.
But I guess they should be quite
miffed. I mean, if they were
merely indifferent (as opposed
to quite miffed) I'd probably be
quite miffed at them for not accu-
rately representing students who
should be miffed about losing
money. Stay with me people.
The point is that I know ASI is
upset, and I think that other students should probably be upset as
well.
The question is, while it's
natural to be upset about losing
money, are we really being burdened that much?
I conducted a little research
and discovered that even after the
forthcoming fee increase, CSU
students (residents) will pay less
than students (residents) at state
schools in New York ($4350)
and Pennsylvania ($4906), and
almost the same as students at
state schools in Hawaii ($3352).
According to the Trends in College Pricing 2005 report published by CollegeBoard, "Average
total tuition and fees at four-year
public colleges and universities
in 2005-06 are $5,491."
So on paper it appears that, relative to students at public schools
in other states, we aren't facing
that oppressive of a burden.
But then I would be a jerk to
ignore the folks who argue that
students in Southern California
are burdened by a high cost of
living. This corner claims that an
increasing tuition, combined with
said high cost of living, makes it
hard to survive.
Your political commentator would like to respond to this
claim: Bologna. When I look
around campus and talk to my
peers, I don't get the impression
that most CSUSM students are
barely surviving. I see spiffy cars
in the parking lot, expensive surf
shop clothes, and iPods; I hear
stories about folks killing heaps
of beers, and going out for sushi.
I don't think that this sort of
consumption pattern is bad, but I
also don't think this sort of consumption pattern is reflective of
students that can barely survive.
And if students that consume like
this can barely survive, I would
argue that it is their own fault. I
would argue that students ought
to live more modestly. It's my
view that being a student doesn't
entitle you to a four year vacation.
And for the students who live
modestly and still struggle to
survive under these fee increases,
I feel your pain. My point is
this: Access to higher education should be affordable; I think
that it basically is; and I think
that when financial crises cause
fees to rise to levels that are not
relatively burdensome, students
ought to try to endure the burden
that exists by living more modestly.
I have holes in my sandals.

�OMBUDSMAN'S NOIE
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Wr iter
Last week's
paper, hmm
well I don't
really want to
talk about it too
much.
What,
and you all
thought that was
my job? Right?
Well it is, but lest we all forget that I
control this little Ombudsman box I'm
just going to say that there were some
problems with last week's edition and
there was some good stuff too (i.e.
three big glasses of beer on the back
page). There, that about sums it all up
— no more in-depth Ombudsman's, just
bad summaries that don't explain anything.
No, actually, I want to talk about
politics this week, the Robbins Report
just isn't getting it done (just kidding
Jason). Seriously, though, the question
that I want to tackle is a very real one:
Does The Pride have a political bias?
Last week's issue had the question in
there, whether it was apparent or not.
Between the Letter to the Editor accusing Jason of improperly assessing the
political atmosphere at CSUSM and
Jason's own column the week before,
the question was subtle but there, as
to whether or not The Pride is biased.
Now I'm going to admit right off the
bat that I'm biased on this topic; I like
the Robbins Report and I agree with
most of what Jason writes in it. I also little biased, depending on who runs

lately I've been hearing that The Pride the balanced news approach seriously,
is looking a little more conservative or at least trying to. Like I said, everybody has their own biases when it
than it used to.
Personally I don't see it. I mean how comes to politics; so maybe I'm right
biased is The Pride? Not as biased as or maybe I'm just f ull of it.
But think about it - how biased are
the New York Times, that's for sure,

Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Cranberry Sauce, and... TofurkyPPP
BY JOELLE FRANKEL
Special To The Pride
More than 40 million turkeys
are killed each Thanksgiving.
This year CSUSM students—be
radical, be revolutionary, challenge tradition—give turkeys the
opportunity to be thankful too.
Before these beautiful birds
arrive at your dinner table, they
face unimaginable pain and suffering. The majority of turkeys
spend the last 5-6 six months
of their lives crammed into 3.5
square feet of space. PETA's
website explains that "To keep the
overcrowded birds from scratching and pecking each other to
death, workers cut off portions of
the birds' toes and upper beaks
with hot blades...no pain killers
are used during any of these procedures."
Aside from terrible living conditions, the slaughtering practices of turkeys are inhumane
and inexcusable. Also, according to PETA, the turkeys are
hung upside down by one leg and
their dangling heads are dipped ing: "Who is this crazy, rabbitinto an "electrified 'stunning food eating hippy trying to guilttank,' which immobilizes them trip me, and ruin my Thanksgivbut does not kill t hem" After ing...and how the hell does she

Arguments for cougars to ponder during thanksgiving
BY JEANNE SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
There is a point-counterpoint
being argued in various arenas in
our nation - government, church,
and schools. This unmediated
debate centers on the question
of national integrity. The real
question is do we have any? And
whose ethics, which political
party, worldview, or economic
demographic, will stand for those
of the nation?
The arguments are many and
passionate and often contradictory: We are a Christian nation.
But there is a constitutional separation of church and state.
There is a constitutional right
to privacy, upon which grounds
the highest court in the land
based its ruling that unborn children may be killed.
But' capital punishment is, by
definition, cruel and inhumane.
Torturing prisoners is unethical, and as an ethical nation, we
mustn't sanction it. But that part
of the Geneva Convention is void
because terrorists don't fight fair
- they hide behind women, and
in churches, and they dress like
civilians.
We are a democratic republic; it
works well for us, and will therefore work for other nations. But
who are we to say that the Middle
East should, or can, follow our
form of government? And if
they choose to remain a despotic
theocracy, do we still send them
aid?
Do we vaccinate the children
who are then inculcated with the
religion of hating Americans? If
they despise everything we stand
for, and we stand for healthy children and helping old people and
capitalism, do we continue to aid
them?
It is interesting that many
people are not at all uncomfortable being of two minds on any
debate. The most popular spin
the past few years? "I support the
troops but I'm against the war."
The men and woman who comprise the troops have sworn to
defend and protect the Constitution, and if the nation over which
that Constitution rests sends them
to war, they go.
If you support the military,
doesn't it follow that you support
the nation that military protects?
Perhaps we just want to avoid that
quagmire that society found itself
in when our men and women of
the armed forces returned from
Vietnam - exhausted, injured,
sick, and demonized.
The United States of America
was once the moral voice of the*
world. Those in disagreement
with our current administration will howl at that statement,
because it offends their sensibilities that any nation should
hold itself above others in moral
or ethical behavior.
Yet those same people would
say we are morally obligated to
take this stand or that stand in the
world. Some might base those
obligations on faith: I'm a Christian, and Christians are supposed
to feed and clothe the poor.
Or a political viewpoint - I'm
a Democrat, and we believe
in social equality for all. I'm a
Republican and we need to provide jobs for everyone who wants
one. I'm an atheist, but you don't
kill another person because it's
just wrong.
Either we do maintain a strong
moral and ethical national identity, even as we argue, sometimes
in court, about what exactly is
moral and ethical. Or we crawl
off into a corner under the guise
of some false humility and ask
who are we to say what is right
or wrong.

�PIGMATA:
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Don't feel guilty if this item seems unfamiliar.
Deprived, maybe, but not guilty.
It's one thing to be ignored by TV, two more
by radio, but this isn't even a matter for most
any given sect of the under-the-radar faithful,
for most of them have yet to bear Witness to
the Lord of Lard, also known as Raymond
Watts, also heard as "PIG".
In fact, this latest release was initially
only available overseas under the moniker of
'WATTS', but we can save marketing details
for later, perhaps when "Pigmata" is actually
made available through the average music
store.
First, let's get down to the gritty gristle
of classification, of genre. No, I don't like to
think of my music as predictable any more
than you like yours dismissed as 'weird'.
Nonetheless, this time there's really no getting around one of the most reviled labels in
modern music history.
"Industrial."
Not since 'Rock' and 'Metal' began
acknowledging their many illegitimate children (and parasitic twins) has there been a
more nebulous sonic-flag. Some make it a
family quilt, others a diaper and still others
simply use it like a hanky...then there's the
issue of what pocket they keep it in.
And like so many things we wished we'd
discovered, 'Industrial' was probably born
before you were, during the dawn of electronic music and the twilight of free-love
music.
A coincidence?
Nevermind.
Two of the more often acknowledged forefathers were "Psychic TV" and "Throbbing
Gristle". More performance art ventures than
bands, their 'industrial music' might best be
described as a liaison between punk, jazz and
disco wherein all parties are as profoundly
intoxicated as they are ugly.

semi-popularity in the late 80s and early 90s,-

holidays
when the charts were especially schizophrenic,
Industrial music has remained unpopular in
ways Punk could only dream of. It's almost as
if people preferred electronic music for dancing rather than tearing the world apart.
Many might credit the 'band' (Industrial
acts often revolve around one or two core
musicians) "Ministry" with establishing the
'electro-metal' favored by fans of "Static-X"
and "Rammstein" or the 'industrial-pop/rock'
of "nine inch nails/Trent Reznor" and "Marilyn Manson".
Indeed, other two-decades-and-counting
outfits like "Skinny Puppy" and "KMFDM"
have become more like unusually-diverserock than ugly-techno.
Raymond Watts, among the few who know
the name, is best known for-his contributions to KMFDM (an acronym of the German
saying 'No Pity for the Masses'), but tp truly

imagine every rocker or metal-head who ever
used keyboards, synthesizers, programming
etc. having a big party together.
Now imagine a lanky yet rugged Brit in the
alley behind them, getting creative with their
garbage and kinky with their girlfriends.
It took a week's worth of machismo to
say that, but one of the best things about the
mighty swine is that he's too much of a lecher
to be a chauvinist, too violent to be a Neanderthal, and too unmarketabley creative to be
a punk.
Almost a decade ago, when "Sinsation"
was released on Trent Reznor's now defunct
record label, I learned something that I still
hold as a personal creative philosophy:
Every single negative thing about humanity can be turned into astoundingly beautiful

PIG, like the best of Industrial MassDestructions, and the best of Punk's intentions, puts you in what I call the 'Dance Pit'.
Don't cut a rug; disembowel it.
The interchange and interplay of seemingly
polarized elements marks each and every
track of "Pigmata" like a salad tossed with
gravy. Watts has a guttural roar and a sinister croon that even the most jaded listener
couldn't dismiss as a mere shock-affectation.
Though I admit it might be hard to say the
same thing about song titles like "God Rod"
or "On the Slaughterfront".

epic duets with divas, sirens, and the filthy
whores we know as 'samples'.
Unlike his previous albums, "Pigmata" is
not only noticeably more guitar-driven, yet
lacking in darkly serene instrumentals, but
the production is far less polished, maintaining 'live' rather than futuristic textures. It's
not uncommon for artists to harness the height
of technology, only to return to something
comparatively organic. In this case Watts
also seems to favor clunkier analog electronics, but his use of orchestral catgut, big band
brass, and even mambo drums remains crisp
and uncanny.
One drawback to this 'natural' production,
however, is that Watts' aforementioned filthy
mouth is even harder to decipher. There are
some damn catchy melodies here, but damned
again if I can sing along with more than half
the chorus.
Music fans might question whether PIG
is Better for people who prefer their music
ugly, yet are curious about the other side (or
vice versa), and I could list off all the music I
absolutely love that could pass in the old folks
home, but I think there's a place that Industrial has all to itself.
There might still be some space available
for a few of these garage punks pretending
they have the skill or puberty to play metal.
In the end, it's often a feeling of wretched
boredom with the lion's portion of music that
leads to animals like PIG, who stare through
stray hair and veins as the whole mess is
slopped out, stirred with copper wire, and
offered, to the lucky ones, as a way to fertilize all that mud in their ears.

Trolley bells ring and shrubbery lights flicker as skaters
glide and fall on this unfamiliar ground.
The ice skating rink known
as "Fantasy on Ice" sits

the rink is its outdoor location.
While the typical ice rink is

Though it is roughly half the

makes it preferable for those
who aren't voraciously athletic.

Get a Kiss, kiss, bang, bang'
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
The best thing to admire in
a buddy cop action comedy is
chemistry between the two leading roles. If the plot, performances, directing, etc is up to
par, it obviously only helps the
film. Knowing ahead of time that
Shane Black wrote "Kiss Kiss,
Bang Bang", I knew the two leading actors, Robert Downey Jr. and
Val Kilmer, would not only have
chemistry but develop a hilarious
love/hate relationship.
Harry Lockhart (Downey Jr.),
a petty thief from New York,
escapes from the police after a
robbery gone wrong. He stumbles
into an audition of a casting call
and gives an over the top spontaneous performance.
Dabney Shaw (Larry Miller), a
big time producer sees him as the
next big thing and invites him out
to Los Angeles. At a party, Harry
meets Gay Perry (Kilmer), a gay
detective, hence, his name.
Also at the party, Harry runs
into his childhood crush Harmony
Lane (Michelle Monaghan), an
aspiring actress.
Gay agrees to coach Harry,
who does not how to act like a
real cop, by taking him to solve a
murder of a young woman.
During a series of adventures
where people turn up dead and
clues are found, Gay becomes
more irritated by Harry's absent
mindedness. Also, Harry is prone
to accidents and loses his own
finger, not once, but twice.
I knew Downey Jr. and Kilmer
would have chemistry, because
Black has written Hollywood's
funniest action comedies (e.g.
the Lethal Weapon Trilogy and
The Last Boy Scout) where the
chemistry between the two leading actors would carry the movie.
Also, in his directorial debut,
Black's use of cinematography
shows that he is competent behind
the camera as well as writing. He
captured action scenes with the
ease of a seasoned director.
The next best thing of "Kiss
Kiss, Bang Bang" is the screenplay. Word by word, line by line,
you can't help but to chuckle, and
at times, burst out laughing. I
know I did.
For example, during an argument, Gay says, "If you looked
in the dictionary next to the word
'idiot', you know what you'll
find?" Harry cheerfully replies
"A picture of me?"
Typical Hollywood discourse
would respond with "Yes". Kiss
Kiss Bang Bang defies that logic
by having Harry up the banter
between the two characters by
saying, "No, the definition of the
word'idiot'."
Black, knowing Hollywood's
clichés and movie standards,
embraces them and insults them
simultaneously. For example,
when Harry is about to interrogate a suspect by using the Russian roulette method (he empties
a revolver, leaving one bullet in
the chamber and spins it).
Other films would have Harry
ask his questions while pulling
the trigger with no bullet being
fired. But in this film, the bullet
isfiredon the first try, killing the

Brothers Pictures
suspect. To top it off, Harry is
shocked and ponders the question, "Don't I have like an eight
percent chance of the gun being
fired?"
Another great line by Black,
while insulting Hollywood,
comes towards the end
when Harry says "Don't
worry, I saw Lord of the
Rings. I'm not going to
end this 17 times."

�How To ... Spend time during a rainy day
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
W ith
winter weather just around the corner, outdoor activities are soon to be put on the
self. To avoid getting cabin fever, here
are some f un activities that can be done
inside.
For the adventurous type, Solid Rock
Climbing Gym in San Marcos is the place,
.because it's indoors, so even if it's raining
outside, one can still be active without getting drenched.
If water is your thing, but cold, windy
weather isn't, then gyms with indoor pools,
like YMCA or L. A Fitness, may meet your
satisfaction.
If you're looking to add a little more
punch to your day, Dave and Busters is an
exciting restaurant with a shooting arcade
equipped with service call that would make
anyone forget about the stormy weather
outside. Spend your time eating yummy
food like Philly cheese steak sandwiches,
and nachos while playing simulated golf,
baseball, basketball, surfing and any other
activity that is typically meant for outdoor
recreation.
If the mere fact of going outside to drive
to any of these places is a turn off, then
stock up now on activities that keep you
busy in the comfort of your home.
First off, to take advantage of a day
indoors, have a comfy pair of pajamas on
hand. Movies are a great place to start,
thanks to places like Blockbuster who,
for a small monthly fee, allows unlimited
movie rentals so you don't have to worry
about late fees.
Sometimes being cooped up indoors
allows one to discover his or her
creative side. Make sure to have plenty of
paint, brushes, an art book and you just
might find your inner artist.
Bad weather also makes for a great
excuse to get organized. Go through old
pictures that were stuffed under the bed
and make a scrapbook, look around your
home for spare buttons, ribbon, colored
paper and have at it.
When the weathers cold and rainy,
sometimes it's just nice to curl up next
to the fireplace with a good book and
escape mentally.
The fact is, just because the weather
may hinder outdoor hobbies, doesn't
mean you can't enjoy the day. Give
yourself a day to catch up on some
long lost hobbies or take a much needed
nap from the stress of everyday life.
Just like squirrels stock up on nuts for
the long winter ahead, start accumulating things that will keep you busy indoors
while the weather keeps you from the outdoors.

"Wal-Mart: T he High Cost of Low Price'
BY MELISSA BAIRD
Pride Staff Writer
The documentary "WAL*MART: The High Cost of
Low Price" reveals thefinancialdestruction of having a
corporation in the neighborhood.
Created by Robert Greenwald, the Wal-Mart film
travels through the United States, talking with small
business owners who are now out of business.
The story of Wal-Mart's impact is similar across the
.country: Family-owned businesses can't compete with
Wal-Mart's low prices. Though small businesses provide better wages, healthcare, and vacation time than
Wal-Mart corporations, the cheap price of the corporation's merchandise ultimately attracts the most customers. As the supercenter steals shoppers away from
smaller stores, those stores go out of business.
In Middlefield, Ohio H&H Hardware founder Don
Hunter tells how his little country store was overtaken
by a Wal-Mart. In Hearne, Texas the town is described
as looking hit by a neutron bomb, due to the now empty
buildings and desolate streets. Cathedral City, California is short on police officers and fire fighters, due to
city subsidies given to a new Wal-Mart.
"I've seen a lot of companies crucified just because
of one entity...commissioners do nothing but lay down
the red carpet for Wal-Mart," said Hunter. Another man
likens Wal-Mart to a Chinese company with American
Board members. One person calls the store a monopoly that is going on a rampage through the American
economy.
At one point during the film, booklets entitled "How
Wal-Mart is destroying the World" are distributed in
Hunter's store.
In China, Wal-Mart factory workers are paid less than
three dollars a day. They are instructed to lie to inspectors about hours worked and the cleanliness of the factory. If the workers tell the truth about their mistreatment, their employers fire them.
The factories in China have no air conditioning. One
girl, referred to as "Princess" says she sits in her own
sweat the entire day because her boss won't allow her
to have a fan.
At Wal-Mart factories in Bangladesh, workers are
paid between 13 and 17 cents per hour. One woman
brushes her teeth using her finger and ash from the fire.
She does this because she can't afford a toothbrush or
toothpaste with the wages she receives from working at
the factory.
Such instances explain why Wal-Mart can afford
its 'everyday low prices', complete with a personified
yellow blob.
Lee Scott, CEO of Wal-Mart, calls the company
"career and family-orientated" and "vital to the community". At the same time, Wal-Mart employees talk of
working off the clock, unaffordable healthcare, and not
having enough money for food.
Wal-Mart is facing legal battles in three states regarding wage and hour abuses. Managers have reportedly
BY LIZZ OSBORNE
Pride Staff Writer
Image courtesy ofwww.walmartmovie.com
gone into computers under false IDs and moved workers' overtime hours to the following week's check.
One employee has to choose between buying food and
buying medicine when her children are ill, because she
can't afford the health plan Wal-Mart offers. Another
man gets in trouble for offering co-workers money to
buy lunch when he sees they aren't eating during lunch
breaks.
Wal-mart encourages its employees to seek help from
the government, via Welfare or Medicaid, instead of
paying for healthcare with company money.
A male employee explains, "You go to work knowing
you aren't making enough money to make it, and yet
you gotta fake it and put a smile on your face."
In addition to financial lawsuits, Wal-Marts in Texas,
Okla., and Mass. were fined for Clean Water Act violations. These stores kept pallets of pesticides and herbicides in their parking lots, where many of the products
tore open and leaked onto the asphalt. When it rained,
the chemicals washed into nearby rivers-sources of
drinking water for many homes in the area.
When a river keeper in Bentonville, AR reported
environmental violations to Wal-Mart management,
they didn't seem to care. Then she got a lawyer.
In response to the corporate takeover in his city, Reverend James Lawson said, "It is written in the new testament 'the love of money is the root of all evil.'" He
does not approve of the way in which Wal-Mart treats
its employees and feels corporate greed is to blame.
Lee Scott says a job at Wal-Mart is the path to the
American dream. Lee Scott made 27,207,799 dollars last year. The average Wal-Mart employee made
13,861. It seems Scott does not understand the nightmare of minimum wage.
Producer/Director Robert Greenwald and Brave New
Films are taking viewers on an extraordinary journey that
will change the way they think, feel - and shop, as thousands of free screenings of "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of
Low Price" debut in households across the nation.
Have you ever wondered how the low cost of purchasing your underwear at Wal-Mart affects individual workers, consumers, small business owners and communities
across the nation, and the entire world? If so, I highly
recommend watching this movie. Although one-sided,
Greenwald sheds light on how retail giant Wal-Mart mistreats employees, lowers property values, puts small businesses out of business, exploits factory workers over seas,
fails to provide secure parking areas, pollutes the environment and picks up perks and subsidies all in the name
of making a quick profit.
In all fairness, Wal-Mart is not the only major organization guilty of the violations highlighted in this film, but
it is certainly a grand example of a recent global trend of
excessive greed in the name of fair-market value. This
point is made quite clear near the beginning as the film
centers on a series of shots of abandoned Main Streets,
empty store after empty store, with Bruce Springsteen's
version of "This Land Is Your Land." From there, it only
gets worse.
In China, a young factory employee talks about working
conditions. "I'm sitting there, dripping with sweat all day
long," she says. Employees in China say they are housed
in dismal dormitories; they may choose to live elsewhere,
but still have to pay the dorm rent.
In a recent press release, when asked why he decided
to make this film, Greenwald states, "A neighbor of mine,
who had some health issues, was hired at Wal-Mart. As we
were talking about it, I expressed my relief that he would
now have health insurance. He replied that no, unfortunately the coverage offered at Wal-Mart was so expensive
and had so many requirements; he couldn't afford it and
might not qualify even if he could pay. He let me know
that the really nice managers at the store had told him how
to apply for state-subsidized health coverage available to
low-income residents of California, paid for by tax dollars. Impossible, I thought. No way was a corporation the
size of Wal-Mart using public programs for its employees, and so I started to research, read and investigate.
The more I learned, the larger the scope of the Wal-Mart
story became. And the bigger and more complex the story
became, the more clear it was that the only way to tell this
story was to go small, human and deeply personal."
I agree with his tactics, and indeed found the movie to
be human, deeply personal, and even downright disturbing at times. So much so, in fact, I will not even stop at
Wal-Mart to browse, despite my natural inclination as a
starving student to-go after bargains whenever possible.
If you are curious, put down that cheap underwear, and
visit the official website for listings of where you can view
this movie for free: http://www.walmartmovie.com.

Stanley "Tookie" Williams,
death-row inmate in San Quentin
State Prison for 24 years, is set to
die 12*01 a.m. on Dec. 13. Williams, now a Noble Peace Prize
nominee, was convicted in 1981
for murder, and has been on death
row ever since.
Dr. Lance Newman, associate
professor, Literature and Writing
Studies at Cal State San Marcos,
has helped arrange, "with a citywide coalition that includes many
organizations and individuals,"
protests and vigils against the
execution. The protests and rallies will be held at 4 p.m., on Dec.
7 and 12, outside the Hall of Justice in downtown San Diego.
"Tookie's case highlights
everything that's wrong with
the death penalty in this country," stated Newman in an email.
"Above all else, it's racist."
Newman cites "African Americans are 12 percent of the U.S.

Women's Studies 300L welcomes back
the classic rendition of Eve Ensler's Vagina
Monologues. Performed by students, the
fast-selling campus favorite, opens Thursday, Dec. 8, for three consecutive evenings
at 8:00 p.m. in ARTS 240.
With 29 students enrolled in the course,
17 students will stand in front of fellow students, staff, faculty and guests to bare all in
the name ofthe Vagina, according to Jennifer
Gonsaullus, adjunct professor of WS 300L.
Students not participating in the oration of
monologues will be behind the scenes, manning ticket booths and assisting in a smooth
running production.
The Vagina Fest kicks off at 7:00 p.m.
each night an hour before the show. "We
will be raffling prizes, having live music,
and featuring different vendors with unique
gifts and souvenirs," mentioned Julie Bennington, a student and performer in the
Vagina Monologues. Attendees may want
to have money on hand for refreshments,
souvenirs, must-have t-shirts and a rare holiday commodity premiering at the event, and
Vagina tree ornaments made by students in
the class. All proceeds made through ticket
sales and student-made retail items will benefit the Women's Studies Department

Vourlitis will study the ecology of transitional tropical
forests in Brazil. Transitional
tropical forest is considered
an ecotonal ecosystem, which
exists between a tropical rainforest and savanna ecosystems.
The main objective of the
research is to calculate the
links between carbon and
water cycling and then to
understand how these relations
are affected by seasonal and
interannual variations in average temperature.
One other important goal
of the project is to strengthen
Brazilian tropical ecology
research by instituting continuous research and training programs. Vourlitis and his colleagues have developed short
courses for students and faculty at Universidade Federal
de Mato Grosso that will focus
on ecophysiological theory,
instrumentation, and analysis.

blacks or Latinos are three times
more likely to have their cars or
purses searched by police officers." According to the booth's
information pamphlets, media
representations of persons of
color give way to racial profiling
of minorities as crime-committing individuals.
At a different booth devoted
to the racial exclusion tendencies of Mattel's pilot product
Barbie, displays highlighted the
reality of Mattel's under-representation of non-white dolls.
Forum participants Marie Ferguson, Laura Hansen, Christine
Vaughan and Breann Montes
shared the misleading efforts
Mattel has extended in attempts
at introducing cultural diversity
for Barbie and her friends. The
dolls of color are actually constructed with slightly darker skin
tones, but the dolls showcase the
identical features and eye colors
as their Caucasian counterparts,
making them difficult to distinguish as black, Latina, or Asian.
As also pointed out by Ferguson,
Barbie's little sister Kelly has a
"Friends of The World" collection leading one to believe that
her playmates originate from all
ends of the globe. The collection features girls from France,
Switzerland, Ireland and Spain.
The array features no girls from
South or Central America, Asia,
or Africa. "The collection should
be called 'Kelly's Friends of
Europe," commented Ferguson.
At a booth devoted to the deciphering of racial messages as
they are transmitted to America's
youth, Lisa Renfro commented on
the statements, that in-her view,
Disney sends to child viewers
about good versus evil.
"Evil villains are portrayed
as dark figures and the good
guys are white and ride on white
horses," said Renfro in referencing Disney's character trends.
Renfro also shared information
about Disney's tendency to feature ethnic characters such as
Pocahontas, Princess Jasmine,
or Mulan as having dark skin,
but Caucasian-like features such
as straight long hair and white
female voice-overs.
In response to the information shared at the forum, junior
Chris Sanchez proposed that
the most impacting information he received from the event
was statistics on what ethnicities
populate the prisons around our
country.

and 45 percent are white. I had
believed that more minorities
were in prison than whites."
COMM 454 professor Dreama
Moon began teaching Communication Whiteness in Fall 2003 .
to further her cause for antiracist activism. As Moon states,
"the course engages whites in
the racial conversation in a critical way that encourages whites
to take responsibility for ending
racism and become advocates for
social justice." The Whiteness
Forum functions as an event that
CSUSM students can participate
in to gain a feel of what is discussed in COMM454.

'Finals
Frenzy'in
-swing
BY KIMBERLY RAYMOND
Pride Staff Writer
Finals are a stressful time for
all students. Deadlines and the
desire for achievement create high
levels of anxiety. A successful
and stress-free exam period is not
guaranteed, but there are ways to
ease the tension.
ASI is sponsoring Finals Frenzy
event week, giving students the
opportunity to relieve the stress
that surfaces during finals week.
Monday through Wednesday,
Dec. 12-14, the Clarke will be
open until midnight, offering laptops, printer access and individual
and group study space, making
the studying process less painful
and more convenient. Coffee and
a catered "mystery" dinner will
be provided each night to boost
energy and help keep students
focused.
The Kellogg Library at Cal
State San Marcos is extending
its hours starting on Monday, the
sixth. The library will be open on
Monday through Thursday from
7-10, on Friday from 8-5, on Saturday from 10-5, and on Sunday
from 1-8. The media library
will open at 8, Monday through
Friday, and is open from 1-5 on
Saturday and Sunday. By having
that extra hour, students will be
able to be moreflexiblewith their
study schedule. Not only does the
library provide important resource
tools for studying, but it also gives
students a comfortable, relaxing
environment to study in with little
distractions.
The first thing you need to do
while studying forfinalexams is to
get yourself organized and not wait
until the last minute. You should
start studying a week in advance,
allowing yourself to budget time
for each class. It is impossible to
cram an entire semesters worth of
work into two nights of studying.
An effective way to budget your
time is to make a schedule including your work, school, sleep and
social schedule for the week leading up tofinals.This will give you
a rough idea of how much time you
have for studying. Remember that
one to two hour study sessions are
more efficient than long ones. If
your study schedule means missing out on the 3-kegger on Saturday night beforefinals,than so be
it. Finals only grace us with their
presence once a semester and
reflect all the time and energy that
we put into school. During finals
week, try to resist the urge to party
on your off days. Look at it as more
of a jump start for your upcoming
final.
The most important thing to
remember during finals week is
to stay healthy. It is better to be
well-rested than to stay up all night
cramming. Eating healthy plays a
huge role in staying healthy. Eat a
balanced diet and try to decrease
your intake of junk food; it will
help your brain focus more. Hopefully this information will help you
get through this dreaded week.

�Teaching abroad
in China
BY PATRICK B. LONG
Pride Staff Writer
Global expansion in the economic arena gives opportunity
to the areas of growth in aspects
of education and learning. The
Global Affairs office and the Literature and Writing Department
at Cal State San Marcos worked
together last summer to send
two student teachers to China.
This opportunity afforded both
Marc Scott and Richard Hunt
the chance to teach in China at
Guangxi Normal University.
The roots for the CSUSM /
Guangxi Normal University
China Teaching Fellows Program
go as far back as 1960, according
to Dr. Susie Cassel. Dr. Cassel's
father, Dr. Russell Cassel, aö
education specialist with the U.S.
State Department, and Dr. Paul
Ma, an agricultural inspector
with the United Nations, began
a friendship in the 1960s and
expressed an interest in the formation of the program. Dr. Russell Cassel knew of his daughter's
interest in China, and her love
for teaching English. He kept in
contact with Dr. Ma and sought
to arrange for both Dr. Cassel
and Dr. Dawn Formo, also of Cal
State San Marcos, to travel to
China. Dr. Susie Cassel and Dr.
Dawn Formo arrived in Guilin to
begin the China Teaching Fellows
Program in summer 2004. The
unfortunate passing of both Dr.
Russell Cassel and Dr. Ma, prior
to the trip in 2004 prevented both
of them from seeing the collaboration to its final development.
"There are hopes to expand
this program in the future beyond
faculty and graduate students to
undergraduate students," says
Dr. Susie Cassel.
"There were many things
about teaching in China that
were exciting for me, but if I had
to isolate just one it would be
the opportunity for me to teach
Chinese American literature to
Chinese students," Dr. Cassel
writes, regarding her experience
in China.
"My American students often
see works like "The Woman Warrior" and "The Joy Luck Club" as
'very Chinese,'" added Cassel.
"Conversely, Chinese students
found these works to be 'very
American' and an equal amount
of time was spent explaining
American."
The summer of 2005 saw
the return of a Cal State San
Marcos teachers to China and
the Guangxi Normal University.
This time Scott and Hunt ventured out to the school in order to
teach English.
"The most important aspect of
my time in China was the connections I made with students
over there," wrote Marc Scott..
"I stay in contact with several
students I taught in China, and I
enjoy hearing about their studies
and future plans."
"One interesting thing I took
from the experience was a heightened awareness of how people
from the United States are perceived abroad; it seemed a hurdle
was cleared between me and the
individuals I talked to," wrote
Scott.
Dr. Susie Cassel feels strongly
about the experience that both
Americans and Chinese can get
from sharing cultures and experiences in our abroad programs.
"Participating in these experiences can be paradigm-altering;
sharing these experiences in the
classroom, in the hallways, and
in the community benefits us all,"
wrote Dr. Susie Cassel.
The five to six week long program for teachers will begin
again a week after the Spring
semester ends (approximately
May 21-June 30, 2006). Students
can receive up to 6 units of credit

BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
Where to start
BY NICK MCSPADDEN
Special to The Pride
So where do I start? That
seems to be the first question one
should tackle as they take on their
finances.
The best place to start is to
know where you are starting
from. What are yourfinanceslike
today? Get out a piece of paper
and draw a line straight down
the middle. At the top of the left
column write "assets" and at the
top of the right put "liabilities".
So, what are assets? Start with
checking and savings accounts
(and if you have neither, then getting these accounts will be a good
startingpoint, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, Bank of America,
and almost all other banks have
accounts specifically designed
for college kids) and put the value
of these in the asset column. Do
you have any stocks or bonds? If
so, these are assets and should
be placed in the, you guessed it,
asset column. If you do not know
the current value of the bond your
grandmother bought you for your
first birthday, go to http://www.
publicdebt.treas.gov and look it
up. 401(k)'s, IRA's, home equity,
current market value of any vehicles, jewelry, home furnishings,
et cetera, should all be included.
Basically, if you turned everything you have into cash, how
much would you have? This is the
value of your assets.
Liabilities are the opposite of
assets. This includes credit card
debt, student loan debt, auto
loans, home loans, any unpaid
bills, and anything else that you
owe to another party (a 'party'
being a bank or your mom... not
what we college kids do so well at
the beginning of every weekend,
a.k.a. Thursday).
Total assets, less total liabilities, will be your current net
worth. Hopefully this is a positive
number, but it is usually a negative; the goal is to make a positive
number grow as fast as possible or
shrink a negative number to zero
a.s.a.p. Easier said than done, but
at least an understanding of your
current position will allow you to
take steps in the right direction.
Soon we'll discuss your personal cash flow and how to maximize its potential. For now, let
me leave you with a quick tip.
If, at the end of every month
you have no money left over
because you paid all your bills
and had a little fun, consider a
couple options to increase your
monthly cash flow. First, if you
receive a tax refund at the end
of every year, call your human
resources representative and
adjust your tax withholdings. A
yearly refund of $500 roughly
translates into an extra $40 a
month in your pocket. Also, shop
around for different auto insurance quotes and compare rates.
This can reveal a huge savings
you may never have noticed.
Every paycheck is the beginning of the same
cycle: money in, bills paid, fun had, now wait
to get paid again. Many affectionately call
this cycle The Rat Race, but it seems we are
more like the mouse running in the wheel. We
work hard and run fast, but we are not going
anywhere. My advice is to get off the damn
wheel; but how? In the last article we identified our current net worth by subtracting liabilities from assets. This time we are going to
calculate our monthly cash flow.
Cashflowis the cycle that begins with each
paycheck and is not quite as easy to determine as our net worth. Get out a piece of
paper and draw a line down the middle again.
On the left side we will identify our monthly
income. This includes take home pay (your
income after taxes and any fees or union
dues), dividends from stocks, bonuses, or
even money your mom gives you on a regular
basis. Do not be general with these numbers.
The more exact you are the better.
The right column, money-out, can also be
designated as "expenditures". This can be
a little tricky. There are the obvious expenditures: rent, food, utilities, transportation
costs, credit card bills, cell phone, but there
are also the more obscure expenditures: medical bills, new clothes, new tires for the car,
gym fees, tuition and books. This list can go
on and on and these expenditures that do not
occur each month must be broken down to a
"per month" basis. Also, make sure to include
fun and entertainment as an expense. Be realistic with these numbers and DO NOT sugarcoat it.
Finally, total each column and subtract the
total of the right column from the total of the
left. This number is the surplus (if positive)
or deficit (if negative) of your monthly cash
flow. Basically, after all is said and done, how
much money do you have or how much do
you owe?
Now you are in one of three categories:
your income is greater than your expenses,
your expenses equal your income, or your
expenses exceed your income. If you are in
either of the last two categories, try to identify where your money is escaping. Are you
spending too much on fast food, clothes,
fun...? Are you genuinely doing everything
you can to minimize expenditures? Set your
priorities with an understanding that moneyin must "at least" match money-out, but if
the only expense that is pushing you into the
red is education costs, take out a student loan
and stay in school. These losses are acceptable and you will recoup them later in life, but
every dollar you borrow today is $1.25 (not
exactly but you know what I mean) you will
pay back tomorrow, so borrow as little as possible and avoid racking up credit card debt.
A quick tip for those with high credit card
bills: on the back of your credit cards is a
phone number for customer service. Call it
and ask them to lower your interest rate, you'd
be surprised how often they say yes.
Catch eye
BY LILLIAN POZOS
Pride Staff Writer
For some reason I can never make it on
time to my History 201 class on Mondays and
Wednesday. So I arrive 5 minutes late and sit
in the back of the class, the last row next to the
wall. Sitting to the side of me are always three
friends, Matt, Eric and Karen. Matt, 10, has
always for some reason caught my eye, maybe
it's the lip piercing. I don't know. A few weeks
ago I noticed Matt working in the Parking
Information Booth and had seen him many
times following that day around campus.
I had never spoken to Matt before, and to
my surprise he had lived in the University
Village last year, as did L I sat down with him
on Wednesday afternoon when he was working at the Info Booth and questioned him on
life in general.
h I learned that Matt is a really busy guy. He
told me that he worked two other jobs in addition to the booth, one at American Eagle, the
other at the front desk of the UVA. On top
of that he is also Treasurer for the Residence
Hall Council.
Matt told me that he "was just your normal
college student" that goes out and likes to
have fun. He loves going to clubs and likes
to go to Hollywood with his friends on Thursday nights to attend "Tiger Heat", an 18 and
up dance club.
I asked if he had any special passions and
his face lit up.
Volleyball, anything do with volleyball. He
says he lives and breaths it.

In news writing we follow a concept called The Inverted Pyramid. The
inverted pyramid says to write the most
general facts in the beginning of your
story, gradually going deeper into specifics as the article wears on. Thanks
to the return of the inverted Christmas
tree this year, I now associate Christmas with reporting to the masses.
Upside-down trees were common
in Europe during the twelfth century.
Europeans hung their Christmas trees
from the ceiling and watched them
dangle there for a few weeks during the
holiday season.
The current inverted trees are all artificial and can be hung from the ceiling
or shoved into a base by their pointed
tips. They are thought to be more logical than the typical trees, as they, take
up lessfloorspace. But the more popular sales pitch is that the upside-down
trees allow more room for presents.
Considering that the typical inverted
tree costs around 600 dollars, I am
guessing the children living in such an
affluent household can do without piles
and piles of presents.
There is another, more subtle problem with this flip-flopping of foliage.
The Christmas tree's shape is symbolic.
It is said to be pointing toward Heaven.
When the tree is turned upside-down
for reasons of practicality, it is symbolically pointing toward Hell. So, in
addition to taking the "Christ" out of
the "Merry Christmas" greeting (I predict that next the ACLU will claim mistletoe promotes sexual harassment, but
that is a different article), the tree has
turned quite sinister.
Lately Christmas has become less
about magic and tradition and more
about economics and logic. It is more
logical to conserve space in Christmas
tree-filled department stores. It is more
economically beneficial to buy extra
presents to put under our trees.
Yet there is a price to pay for < &
5r
pragmatism. Our consumer-friendly
trees won't have stars, our children will
be spoiled beasts, and our houses will
be perpetually absent of the smell of
pine.

Pull out a pot and add one cup ambition, three teaspoons of soul, lA pint
creativity, a dash of hot sauce, the color
blue and alas, what do you have? No,
this is not a recipe for grandma's fruitcake, rather this is a brief rundown of
all of the elements that comprise the
acoustic soul pop singer Alyssa Jacey.
Alyssa is a new artist that is rising fast
right under our CSUSM noses, and her
spirit is taking our campus, as well as
the rest of San Diego County, by storm.
Alyssa's career began when she
started attending karaoke in November 2004. Upon witnessing her talents,
Alyssa's friends advised her to make
something of her vocal abilities, and
with this notion Alyssa began pursuing
music. By January 2005 she was recording professionally with no prior vocal
training.
This year proved promising for Alyssa
as she gave her first performance at the
San Diego County Fair in June and has
since played over 40 shows at venues
such as The Belly Up Tavern in Solana
Beach, RT's Longboard Grill in Pacific
Beach, Canes in Mission Beach, and
at the CSUSM campus promoting for
groups such as Alpha Kappa Psi.
"I used to sing for people when I
served in restaurants," said Alyssa,
crediting her success to persistent selfpromotion. Other methods of gaining publicity and recognition included
distribution of her music and business
cards at shows. Her popular Myspace
page offers samples of her inusic and a
calendar of upcoming shows.
"I think the majority of succeeding at any talent is to have dedication,"
Alyssa reflected as she shared the reasons for why she feels she has come
so far since the start of the year. Major
inspiration comes from artists such as
Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan, and
Tracy Chapman as well as bands like
Matchbox Twenty. When asked if she
considered herself a role model, Alyssa
answered yes, justifying her response
with recalls of mistakes of her previous situations. She states, "I've been to
the bottom, and climbed back up." This
low came in the form of living in Los
Angeles, aspiring to be a dancer, but
falling in with the wrong crowd and
thus losing focus. Since leaving Los
Angeles she has gotten back into school
full time and regained control of her
life as she dedicates herself to the pursuit of her career. "Don't let seemingly
large obstacles intimidate you," is what
Alyssa had to say after moving off track
but recovering.
On the verge of turning 24 years old,
Alyssa Jacey has singing, songwriting,
dance, choreography, and guitar skills
under her belt, and she still finds time
to do other things with her life such as
teaching dance, as well as volleyball,
soccer, and surf in the summer. She
finds it difficult to juggle school and her
career, but because she believes she is
meant to sing Alyssa strives to fit everything into her busy schedule.
Currently, Alyssa is working to have
her CDs sold in Starbucks coffee shops
as well as being added to Starbucks'
artist tour that will be happening this
winter. Alyssa will be performing three
shows for the Vagina Monologues at
CSUSM on Dec. 8-10. For information on Alyssa Jacey's upcoming shows

to obtain a degree but have not

"Open University allows

besides those offered through
Extended Studies.
Through Special Sessions,
Extended Studies offers regular
Cal State San Marcos courses
at times other than the regular
semesters. These courses may
be offered concurrently with the
regular semesters, but these special sections are designed primarily for non matriculated students.
There is no limit to the number
of Special Sessions courses a student may take; however, only 24
semester units may be applied
toward an undergraduate degree.
Through the Over 60 Program,
California residents age 60 or
older may enroll in any regular Cal State San Marcos class
during the academic year on a
space-available basis at a special,
low rate per semester. Kenny
explains that, "they may enroll in
credit or non-credit courses and
can even earn a degree."
According to Kenny, the classes
offered through Extended Studies are determined by listening
to the needs of current and prospective students, from learning
what is needed in the work force
through Extended Studies' memberships in various organizations
such as the North County Chambers of Commerce and the North
County Economic Development
Council, and from local hospitals
and teacher associations.
Winter session runs through
May 2006 and if certain classes
have a high demand from students, they will most likely be
offered again during the next session.
"Extended Studies is the only
continuing education provider

County and due to the anticipated
population increase in San Diego

�Tukwut Transcript helps students build resume
BY SHELLY MONROE
Pride Staff Writer
The Tukwut Transcript serves
as an official record of CSUSM
extra-curricular and co-curricular activities or accomplishments
of undergraduate and graduate
students. Gezai Berhane, of Student Life and Leadership said,
"This program started in an
effort to recognize our students'
involvement in so many extracurricular and co-curricular
activities through their involvement in student organizations
and service learning classes."
The transcript, signed and
stamped by the vice president of
StudentAffairs, can be used to
supplement scholarship, graduate school, and job applications.
"The program started to be implemented in the year 1998 but the
process of starting this program
started at least a year before that,
said Berhane.
Students who want to begin
building their Tukwut Transcript
must pick up data entry forms
and transcript requests at the Stu-
ASI
dent Life and Leadership office
in Craven Hall4116. Students
need to submit transcript entries
to the SLL office by the end of
the semester following the activity. For example, i fa club puts on
events throughout the fall semester, the submission form must be
filled out by the end of spring
semester.
For submissions describing
ongoing involvement with a club
or program, a new entry must be
submitted for each year of membership. For example, if a student
is the president of a club during
the 2001-2002 academic year,
the "Leadership" entry should
be submitted to SLL by the end
of the spring semester in 2002.
Even if a student remains active
in a club from year to year, a new
entry form must be submitted at
the end of each academic year.
An on-campus faculty advisor
or staff member will validate the
entry upon submission. If a student is having problems obtaining a valid signature for the entry
form, contact Julie Wright in
the Student Life and Leadership
office. It will take the office 35 working days to process each
transcript request. The SLL
office will not accept entries that
describe involvement or participation that occurred more than
a year prior to application. Each
student is eligible to receive five
free copies per year. Additional
copies are available for a nominal
cost. The Tukwut Transcript will
be held indefinitely. It is up to the
student to request extra copies of
the transcript prior to leaving the
university.
The transcript is divided into
nine sections:
-Career Development:
Includes part-time university
employment, internships, and
involvement in professional organizations.
-Community Service/
Service Learning:
Includes
campus supervised volunteer service on- and off-campus, either as
part of a service learning course
or coordinated through the Office
of Service Learning.
-Honors/Awards/Schol-
arships: Includes any type of
formal recognition given by the
College - Dean's List, Outstanding Student Awards, etc.
- Leadership/Student
Organizations:
Includes any
leadership role or membership
position held for at least one
semester in a campus club or
organization.
-Presentations/Travel:
Includes written or oral presenr
tations that can be verified by a
faculty or staff member but are
not required for a course. It also
includes student travel or participation/involvement in a conference sponsored through university channels.
-Published Writing/Creative Activities/Other: Includes
published scholarly or creative
works, documentary productions,
media publications or works, and
computer projects.
-Recreation/Athletics:

�Jock talk with Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Several
weeks ago in
my
COMM
360 class, Professor Fredi
Avalos
said
something
that caught my
attention: "Do you want to be
right, or do you want to change
the world?"
What I think she was saying
was, what are your intentions
when you set out to do something? What are you trying to
accomplish? Are you trying to
prove yourself right or are you
trying to make the world a better
place?
I think most people in sports,
especially sports writers, are just
trying to prove themselves right.
I certainly have done my fair
share of that. I know that proving myself right doesn't do anything but boost my own ego, but
all you have to do is ask some of
my friends to realize how sure of
myself I am already.
I look around the sports world
and see plenty of people who
have an influential voice, but
don't use it for positive things.
Can you imagine if Tiger Woods
or Michael Jordan spoke out on
social issues the way Charles Barkley does? Jordan would rather
pimp his clothing line and latest
book on Oprah's show, while
Tiger goes on the Tonight Show
to talk about his new video game.
My voice only goes out to several
thousand people at the moment,
but I am not going to sit back and
just talk about easy issues that
don't make you think.
I don't always want to write
about what the Chargers should
do with Phillip Rivers (trade
him), or which player Kobe
Bryant needs to win a championship (a decent center a la Amare
Stoudemire, which clearly isn't
going to happen since he is locked
up long term). You can get those
topics from "Sports Illustrated"
or "ESPN". From those outlets
you can't get someone like me
talking about how the NHL and
NBA are just another form of
segregation.
I have received more e-mail
this semester than in the two
previous combined. I have also
had a lot of people approach me
on campus in an attempt to tear
into me regarding the topics that I
have written about, most notably
regarding my take on homosexuals in athletics.
Apparently, there are some
people who don't appreciate the
topics that I cover. Take Evan
Pellecchia, for example, "Write
more about sports," said Pellecchia. "Not issues that are dealt
with everyday with a sports
swing to it."
I think Pellecchia's concern
can be addressed with a phrase
that Professor Avalos uses quite
often, "Open your eyes folks". If
you can't see parts of everyday
life in sports, then I worry for
you.
I know that many people turn to
entertainment such as sports and
music for an escape from everyday life. The same people who
are telling me they don't want
to read about racism and homosexuality in sports are probably
the same people who tell Kanye
West to stick to rapping about
"gold diggers", stop rapping
about Jesus, and don't talk about
the President.
I have lost count of the e-mails
that question my sports knowl-
edge. Take Cassandra Lelek,
for example, "As I assume you
are the sports 'go-to' guy," said
Lelek, "It would be nice if you
actually knew something about
sports before you wrote about
them."
Let me address the concern of
Lelek and so many of you. Do
research before you send personal attacks my way. Go do a
google news search on "Joshua
Sandoval". Then see what pops
up. I think if my work appears in
the "San Diego Union-Tribune",
then I might actually know a
little something about sports and
journalism.
r
Then there is the wonderful
e-mail that I received that wants
me dismissed. "As an avid reader
of The Pride, I finally decided
to take it upon myself to call for
your dismissal as a sports columnist," said someone by the name
of Mike. He didn't use a CSUSM
e-mail address or give a last
name; probably because he knew
he would end up in a future article or has a fear of running into
me on campus.
What's funny about the developments over the semester is I
now realize that people actu-
ally read this. I knew I had a few
loyal readers (shout out to Jade
Zwinger). However, now that the
issues are more controversial,
the readers are coming out like
homosexual basketball players. I
could care less if you hate what
I have to say, just as long as you
read it.
I spend a lot of time around
comedians and I now understand
what so many of them say. "You
don't remember the thousands
of great sets that you have. You
remember the few where you
were booed off the stage." As you
can tell, the comments that stick
out in my head are the ones that
tell me I suck.
However, I will be back next
semester because of comments
from people like John Jacobs:
"Your column in The Pride is so
hilarious," said Jacobs. "You're
a funny guy and a great writer.
Keep up the good work, bro! "
Send
all
comments
to
Sando026@csusm.edu. I do
respond to every single e-mail
that I receive. However, you may
want to be careful what you say,
now that you see that there is a
possibility you could be quoted.
Women's Volleyball
Athletes p repare for spring sports
BY HEATHER ZEMAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the fall season coming to
an end, many of the spring athletes are just getting ready for the
games to begin. Women's volleyball is preparing for its second
season here at CSUSM. Women's volleyball is an ASI sponsored team, with the hopes of
becoming a division sport. Tryouts were held at the end of September, when the team picked up
four new girls for a total of 12 on
the team.
The traditional volleyball
season starts on January 17, but
the team is currently competing
in tournaments in southern California. Team captain Melissa
Hughes said, "The tournaments
are to get out and to play teams
that aren't necessarily in our
league, and to get playing time
in." The ladies' next tournament
will be at San Diego State University on Dec. 10 and 11. Teams
will be coming from schools such
as UCLA, Berkeley, and Arizona
State University. Following this
tournament, the ladies will have
about a month off from games.
The team will continue preparing for the league tournaments to
start up on Jan. 17 and continue
to be held every Tuesday night
for about eight weeks.
CSUSM's women's volleyball falls under the San Diego
or Southern California league.
Other teams in the league are
SDSU, UCSD, Pt. Loma, and
USC. These teams will also play
each other at Regionals and have
the option to attend Nationals in
Salt Lake City in April. Another
anticipated tournament will be
held over spring break in Las
Vegas. Last season, the women's
team traveled to Las Vegas along
with 37 other teams. CSUSM
ended up taking 12th place overall.
Melissa Hughes is anticipating
an exciting season to come. "We
have a very dedicated team. We
are each otheris best friends and
that makes for a great chemistry
on the court as well."
Although the ladies are preparing for the season already, another
tryout will be held in the near
future. The team will be losing
four girls to the study abroad
program. For more information
regarding the team and upcoming
tryouts, contact Melissa Hughes
at hughe018@csusm.edu.

�Podhead
Student retrospective
A personal trip to the
musical highlife
BY J.R. SAPP
Pride Staff Writer
BY JESSICA DAMBKOWSKI
Pride Staff Writer
They walk around CSUSM everyday, and we all
see them, the "Podheads". You know, the iPod people
who are "tuned" to their music all the time.
I decided to become one of them and go undercover
to investigate the world of the Podheads. I borrowed
my boyfriend's iPod, and the next morning had a
quick self-learning session on how to work the tiny
machine, before I struck out in the musical underworld. Listening to a new techno song, I took to the
stairs. The hike at 8:45 a.m. was, as ridiculous as it
sounds, fun! The music made my heart start pumping and by the end of the trip to Sociology 320,1 was
really "amped" for class to start.
At my usual break between classes I tuned myself
again and set off for ACD's open access computer lab.
I counted four other Podheads on the way over, and
wondered what sort of music their lives were jamming to. I was actually having a good time just walking around campus and listening to the music I normally had to leave at home or in the car.
I couldn't help thinking how awesome it was to
have my life's own personal soundtrack playing
everywhere I went. That is what is so great about
being Podheads, each and every person has a personal soundtrack.
At the end of my day I seriously did walk PAST my
car. I was so pleasantly distracted I forgot where I had
parked my car.
In the end, while I don't have an iPod of my own,
being a Podhead for a day was definitely an experience worth repeating. It was so much f un, I'll probably put the iPod on my Christmas list. Music for life
anyone?
The best mother is the one who, by
virtue of doing a good job, renders
herself obsolete - not in the hearts of
her children, but in the daily minutia, the chores, and childrearing that
consume her days and drive her a
little crazy. As the time of my obsolescence approached, I decided to go
back to college and finish the degree
I had started to earn some (well,
many) years ago.
I did the paperwork, filled out the
forms, and ordered my transcripts
and SAT scores from the archives
of various high schools, community
colleges, and universities in another
state. By the grace of God, and the
kindness of Kitty Lucero-Egger,
who reviewed my dismal transcripts
and let me in anyway, I was accepted
into CSUSM with a 2.0 GPA. My
college-age daughter gave me a brief
and depressing explanation of why,
no matter how many classes I took to
complete my degree, my GPA would
never recover from my wasted youth.
But I persevered, kicked my Type
A personality into high gear, and
earned some report cards that were
worthy of posting on my refrigerator
next to those of my children.
And so I am graduating, finally, at
the end of this semester. We autumn
graduates don't warrant a ceremony,
a cap, a gown, or the privilege of
shaking the hands of our professors
as we are handed our diploma covers.
I guess there just aren't enough of us.
It would probably be anti-climactic
to walk the line in the spring, and I
wouldn't want to steal the thunder
from my younger daughter who will
be graduating then. So although I'll
never make the valedictorian speech
(see GPA discussion above), there are
some people I would thank for helping me along on this journey. (Cue
"Pomp and Circumstance.")
To my husband - for all the dinners I didn't cook, the shirts I didn't
iron, and the hours I spent studying, thanks for apt complaining too
much. You may never really understand what this has all meant to
me, but you try to, and that's good
enough.
To my daughters, Jennifer and
Stephanie, who have encouraged
me every single step of the way, I
couldn't have done this without your
kind words and absolute conviction
that I'm the smartest woman you
know.
To my son Michael, thank you for
the laughs and for doing your own
laundry. And to my son's favorite
line - "It's taken you almost thirty
years to get your degree and you're
not even a doctor!"
To my professors - I think you
know how important this is or you
wouldn't be doing what you do. You
taught me that I could stay the course,
and that improving my writing was
a worthy endeavor. To my fellow
scholars - thanks to every one of you
who never thought twice about sitting in class next to a woman twice
your age. Thanks for your willingness to answer my honest questions
with thoughtful answers, and for letting me engage in the academic process as one of you.
Tuition, books, & parking $10,000. Gas, mileage, and wear and
tear (on me and my car!) - $1,000.
Earning a degree after 27 years priceless.

Letter from the Editor-in-Chief
BY PATRICK B ; LONG
Pride Editor-in-chief
This "Letter From the Editor"
will be read by more students
than my first. The is only by
the mere fact that The Pride has
definitely picked up readers this
semester, and it is all thanks to
the new staff and writers.
Collaboration is important in
the making of a great newspaper.
Checks and balances, like that of
a good government, are needed.
We made some mistakes, but we
learned from them and moved
on.
So, to all of those who participated in The Pride this year,
I thank you. It is a daunting task
to put out a weekly paper, and it
takes more than whining about
the quality of the work; it takes
courage to stand up and do something about it.
If you, the readers, know a staff
writer, or a student who regularly participated in the efforts of
making this a great school paper,
I ask you to thank them.
Now I shall name names. First
and foremost, Jason Encabo is
the reason the paper looks so
good. His eye for layout is only
second to his dedication to getting the job done, no matter how
long it takes. He stuck it out into
the late nights until the work was
doner sometimes the newspaper
didn't make it out until midnight
on Monday for Tuesday delivery. Christine "this story has to
go in" Vaughan, Zachary J. "sit
down, we're going to edit this
together" Simon, and Erin "oh
my gosh, that's so cute" Young
make the paper diverse enough
to attract a large audience. I look
forward to another semester
with them.
Last, I want to thank both
Dr. Anthony Hurst and Cindy
Hanson, who took time to listen
to writers complain about me.
If everybody is happy, I'm not
doing a good job.
Now it's time for the call to join.
COMM and LTWR 316 are waiting for you. Yes, it's late at night,
and ye,s you'll work very hard,
but let's be narcissistic about
it, you'll get to see your name
in print. Even if you do not join
the class, feel free to join us next
semester at ACD 404 Tuesdays at
5 p.m. The first hour is dedicated
to assigning stories and gathering
story ideas.
TO m ake this a better paper,
I'm seeking more beat writers. No, not the next Kerouac,
but writers that cover only one
specific area. This semester we
had "Jock Talk with Josh" and
a couple of newcomers to the
fall '05 Pride team, "Robbins
Report" and "Cash Corner."
These topics cover the political climate on campus, finance
strategies for students, and, of
course, sports. Antoinette Johnson will be returning as our new
police liaison.
We are looking for students
who can cover other areas as well.
This would be a weekly column
that entails a topic that you are
knowledgeable about. Areas of
interest for the paper include
campus sports, business aiid the
business department, art and the
art department, and movies. As
always, the editors are here to
help the writing process if you
are not comfortable.
Next semester also welcomes
the arrival of the 2006 Pride Literary Supplement (PLS). This
publication comes out every
spring semester and is made up
of art work, poems, short stories,
and other art related material.
The bad news is, since the
change of the email system, we
lost all of the submissions from
this semester. We need everybody who submitted to re-submit
their work. Please place "PLS"
in the subject line of the email to
pride@csusm.edu.
Coming from o divorced family
BY LILLIAN POZOS
Pride Staff Writer
Coming from a divorced
family, the holidays have always
been a yo-yo fiasco for me.
When I was a child, my holidays were literally cut straight
down the middle. I would be
handed off at either midnight or
noon to the next parent in a relative's drive-way.
For Christmas and New
Year's, it would be one parent
on the Eve and another on the
day, with a switch off at midnight on Christmas or a switch
off at noon on New Year's Day.
And, oh, so much bickering in
between.
All my holidays from the
ages of five to seventeen were
handled that way, except one,
Thanksgiving. I went with
whichever parent it would be
most convenient for because
of my week-long school vacation. It became especially dif-
ficult when my parents fought
over Thanksgiving. I was left
in the middle with no say, even
though they posed the tricky
question of "where do you want
to go?"
Growing up with Thanksgiving as a literal toss up, I am left
today with so much confusion
and a growing dislike of holidays in general. Now that I am
an adult, and living away from
home, I am now able to make
decisions on my own, what am
I to do when Thanksgiving and
other holidays, like Easter, have
been a sole parent holiday my
entire life?
I'm in my third year of college, and, sadly, I have learned
the hard way that no matter what
decision I make, no parent will
be happy.
And so again, I enter another
holiday season with the same
growing discontent.
My parents don't understand
how nerve-wracking it is for
me to choose where to spend
the holidays. I know I am not
alone with my distraught feelings of the holidays, because
many other students of CSUSM
deal with similar issues. The
conflict may come from being a
child of divorce, or just being a
student, trying to juggle college
life and family time. It basically
becomes an issue of priorities.
Who's more important in your
life? Who deserves your time
the most?

Selfless sacrifice is what Lilly
Potter and Harry exhibit, Lilly

and Harry at least once a year at
Hogwarts.
The ultimate message, in both
the book and the movie, resonates with moviegoers and readers alike. It is the belief that the
common and ordinary man can
overcome obstacles with courage and selfless sacrifice. It is
because of this underlying idea —
the peril, kindness and wit — that
both cast and story portray, that
makes this movie the best of the
lot so far.

�Holiday movie
BY ALFRED CHU
Pride Staff Writer
In the month of December, when kids
are off from school and parents take off
from work, one of the things to do during
the holidays is go see a mope, or maybe
two. In the same month, the year's best
family oriented comedies, as well as
films that would become front runners
for the Academy Awards and other film
recognitions, are released. But what's
coming out in the following weeks?
In the science fiction/fantasy corner,
we have "The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
Based on the novel by C.S. Lewis, four
siblings enter a door that travels them to
a fantasy world filled with elves, dwarfs
and giants. "The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"
graces theaters on Dec. 9.
Let's move on to the action genre.
"King Kong," need I say more? Master
storyteller Peter Jackson expands his
vision and CGI technology in this
highly anticipated remake. A filmmaker
(Jack Black), his leading lady (Naomi
Watts), and a group of explorers travel
to a remote island where a mythological
monster lives. "King Kong" invades theaters on Dec. 14.
If independent films are more of your
taste, go see "Brokeback Mountain,"
starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath
Ledger. Directed by Ang Lee, same
director as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden
Dragon," and ''Brokeback Mountain" is
about two cowboys that fall in love, but
deal with the consequences of having a
homosexual relationship. We've recently
seen more independent films being recognized, this would be no exception.
If you're into comedies, "Fun with
Dick and Jane" has great potential. Starring Jim Carrey and Tèa Leoni in a 1977
remake, where as a married couple,
commit robberies to pay the bills. "Fun
with Dick and Jane" hits theaters on
Dec. 21.
For the drama and romance crowd,
"Memoirs of a Geisha" is the obvious
choice. Geishas are females trained at
a young age to dance, act and sing to
entertain wealthy men. Ziyi Zhang plays
the geisha where she falls in love with a
powerful and wealthy man (Ken Watanabe). I predict Oscar nominations for
Zhang and Watanabe. Already released,
"Memoirs of a Geisha" expands into a
wider release on Dec. 23.
For the straight forward drama fans,
Steven Spielberg's "Munich" looks
promising. Based on the 1972 Munich
Olympics, where 11 Israeli athletes
where killed, authorities are assigned
to find the suspected 11 Palestinians
involved. "Munich" stars Eric Bana and
cruises into theaters Dec. 23.
If a battle epic as well as drama is
your cup óf tea, check out "The New
World." Directed by
Terrencfc Malick, "The
New World" is about
the explorer John Smith
(Colin Farrell), who
travels to America
and encounters Native
Americans where differences erupt into
warfare. Hopefully,
Farrell will shed away
his "Alexander" debacle. "The New World"
explodes into theaters
on Christmas day.
My recommendations are based on
the film trailers I've
viewed, interviews
by the filmmakers,
the filmmakers past
reputations, promotional materials, and
aspects of the films
(special
effects,
storyline, etc.) that
make them stand
out.
To see the trailers and view other
media, visit each
film's respective
website.

When the winter winds begin to blow
and the semester is coming to an end, it's
time to start planning a f un holiday getaway; be it romantic or a family affair,
there's an excursion for everyone.
What better time to take a little trip
when the stresses of finals are over and
the holidays are just around the corner? It
doesn't have to be a long extended vacation; it can be a quick weekend jaunt to
leave you feeling refreshed and ready
for the holiday season. Traveling doesn't
have to be stressful; there are plenty of
getaways that are fabulous, but are close
to home so airport chaos can be easily
avoided. Here are four great suggestions
that are close to home to inspire you get
up and get going.
Idyllwild: For those looking to heat
things up when the weather gets cold,
places like Quiet Creek Inn might just do
the trick. Keep in mind, this is for adults
only, rather it's for loving couples that need
a little isolation or for relaxing with best
friends. These cozy cabins are located on
Strawberry Greek and have no televisions
or telephones so there are no interruptions.
All cabins have wood burningfireplacesto
snuggle up next to. Sit and enjoy the sounds
of the creek and the smell of pine trees on
your very own private deck, or upgrade to
the deluxe suit and sit on the deck in the
hot tube. If you want to venture in town
there are plenty of shops and restaurants
to check out, there is even a pottery painting shop so you can make your own souvenir. Otherwise, you can do nothing but sit
by the fireplace, drink hot coco, or maybe
^^
enjoy a nature walk on one
the many trails through the woods and
come back to your cabin to dip your toes
inthejacuzzi.
Del Coronado Island: If you're looking for something the whole family can
enjoy, as well as love birds, Hotel Del
Coronado has some f un holiday activities for all ages. The hotel is full of holiday cheer with its 50,000 twinkle lights,
the new outdoor ice skating rink that over
looks the ocean, a sleigh ride and of course
s'more roasting. Just because you brought
the children doesn't mean you can't have
some alone time. Call the hotel babysitting
service and have a romantic dinner with a
night stroll along the beach. Don't worry;
the kids won't be bored with the room's 26
television channels and a Nintendo Game
Cube.
Temecula: Once again adults only,
but what better way to ring in the holiday season than a weekend trip to one of
Temecula Valley's many wineries? The
South Coast Winery Resort and Spa is a
great place to spend the weekend. Forget
about all the holiday stress with a day of
wine tasting, once a little tipsy walk back
to your villa for a little rest and romance.
Each villa is separated from the other
villas, so there's plenty of privacy; each
has a fireplace and jacuzzi tub. If your ing or skiing down one of many trails.
feeling up to it, try out their spa and get a Golden Bear Cabins are only minutes
relaxing massage or swim in their heated away from Snow Summit, and they welcome the whole family, even pets. There's
pool, which plays underwater music.
Big Bear: There are many resorts in Big a playground, basketball and volleyball
Bear and plenty of activities for the whole courts, wireless internet, television with a
family. For the adventurous types, Snow DVD player and video rentals so the family
Summit Mountain Resort is a great place can cuddle up in the comfort of their cabin
to get your energy out while snow board- after a long day of activities.

University Police report
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
University Police prepare for the spring
semester, highlighting crime alerts, offering students sound-advice and welcoming
three new members to the department.
"The area, not only the campus, is growing," said Chief of Police, Aaron Woodward
about the concerns of a growing campus in
relation to the growth of the department.
"Our concern is that we are allotted 15 officers; base staffing is only what is budgeted.
We would like to get ahead of the game, in
terms of staffing."
Over the holiday break, the Police made
four arrests; two alcohol related incidents,
one drug possession and one drug possession with the intent to sell.
A male was arrested after driving past
campus on Twin Oaks Valley Road, where
he made an illegal u-turn, on Friday, Dec.
30. The simple traffic violation led to the
discovery that the driver had over one and
half grams of methamphetamine in his possession. The driver was arrested and taken
to jail.
Two days later, on the first of the year, a
male was taken to jail for being drunk in
public. Another alcohol related incident
occurred on Jan. 8, when a UVA resident
notified the Police Department that her inebriated boyfriend was attempting to drive
off, despite her pleas. There are also allegations that the boyfriend damaged UVA
property when throwing a rock at a window,
but Police are still investigating this case.
University Police also arrested a known
San Marcos gang member on charges
of drug possession with intent to sell.
During a routine equipment violation
stop, an Officer noticed that a passenger
in the backseat of the vehicle had marijuana. After further investigation, the
police were able to find evidence suggesting that the male had intentions on selling
the ounce and a half of marijuana. The
affiliated gang member, a parolee, was
arrested and booked in jail. The driver
was cited for an equipment violation and
driving without a license.
In addition to the Police Department's
focus on crime activity, the department
also promotes community involvement
and education. In December, the department participated in the Teddy Bear Drive
for the young patients at Children's Hospital. CSUSM's University Police DepartSee POLICE, page 4

California State University San
Marcos' Alumni Association is sponsoring a congressional debate for special election candidates replacing
former House Representative Randy
"Duke" Cunningham. All registered
candidates will be invited to participate
in the debate, which is scheduled to be
held on Thursday, March 23 from 7 to
9 p.m. at the M. Gordon Clarke Field
House/University Student Union.
The 50th Congressional District seat
was vacated on December 1, 2005
after Cunningham pleaded guilty to
accepting more than $2 million in
bribes in a criminal conspiracy.
"He was a good friend to the
campus," said Chartes D. Guthrie
Jr., executive director of the Alumni
Association, about former Congressman Cunningham. "He was the first

It was December of '03 when an
old friend of mine began giving
updates on a new friend of his,
each one giving little opportunity
to do more than gape and quietly
send out a little anonymous hope.
When, a few weeks ago, he handed
over his T-mobile Sidekick, "here,
Ivy speaks French too," I was
more than a little pressed for the
right vocabulary. That any student
here could have passed her in the
hall stirs an amazing interaction
between curiosity and compassion. There's nothing sensational
or exclusive about being able to
email Ivy an interview, save that
she is that much closer to recovery
and that much more able to show
us a person who refuses to be lost.
So, I think the first thing we
better start out with is the website you mentioned, not just the
address, but who set it up, who
maintains it, etc.
www.thebookofivy.com was
set up by my dad. He does all the
work for it, he set it up, and he
keeps it going. The web space
was given to him by The Reef. I'm
not sure what The Reef is, I just
know it is a website. My website
has a link to my benevolent fund,
which is used to help pay for
all my horrible medical expenses.
Could you describe your high
school experience for us in some
detail? Where did you attend,
what was it like academically/
socially?

High School, and it was the worst
time of my life. I was surrounded

when most students were slacking off. I had a very small group

never afraid to speak my mind,
stand up for the underdog and tell
people when they were stupid.
What was the state of your college plans when you graduated?
My dream was always to go
to Berkeley. Unfortunately, my
father was out of work and we
couldn't afford it. My plan was to
do my general education at a less
expensive school and then transfer to Berkeley for my major. I was
planning on majoring in either
music, photography, or French.
Did any classes, high school or
otherwise, give you any insight
into either side of the experience?
None at all.

personal detail). Is there anything you want to share about
your hospital experience?
I really don't remember much
about the accident. I remember I
was driving between 70-75 MPH
in the fast lane. Some jerk wanted
to go faster, so he cut me off. I
swerved to miss him and lost
control. I went over a cliff and
was thrown 150 feet. I landed face
down in a bush, which crushed
my chest. All ribs were broken in
multiple places. I broke my sternum which ruptured my spleen,
lacerated my liver, and bruised
my heart. My lungs had collapsed and werefillingwith fluid.
The paramedics had to place an
emergency chest tube in the field
(which is almost never done). I
was flown to the hospital with
less than 1% chance of survival.
You will have to be more specific
about what you want to know
concerning my hospital stay. It
was almost 2 years, after all.
Is there anything in particular
you feel you might have 'missed
out' on?
I missed out on a lot. I didn't
get to see my brother graduate
because I was too sick. I spent
both my 20th and 21st birthdays in the hospital and with
sepsis. AFI (my favorite band of
all time) called me on my birthday, but I was too sick to talk to
them. I missed out on 2 years of
my kitty's life, which may not
seem to be that big of a deal, but
she is like my child. I missed out
on concerts I wanted to go to, the
opportunity to sing with AFI,
and social events with friends.

USC could have considered an alternate play such as the one that USC

Secondly, this was not the best college football game of all time. That's
all I have been hearing about for two

maybe top 10 of all time but certainly
not the best. Yes, this game did have

Ohio St also had a ton of future
NFL players like Craig Krenzel,
Willis McGahee, Ken Dorsey, Chris
Gamble, and Drew Carter. The 2003
game also went into several overtimes and included an even bigger
upset than the Texas game because
everyone thought Ohio St. would not
be able to score possession for possession with Miami.
Now that USC is no longer a guarantee hopefully the sun doesn't let me

CSU system
prohibits alcohol
at sporting events
BY ERIN YOUNG
Pride Staff Writer
A new order w as
issued on Dec. 23, 2005
"prohibiting all 23 CSU
campuses f rom engaging
in any sale of alcoholic
beverages at any intercollegiate athletic events
held in university owned

According to the alcohol
policy released by the
o ffice of the Chancellor Public A ffairs " this
policy will also limit the
alcohol advertising of
beer and wine at all campuses."
"The CSU believes that
service of alcoholic beverages at intercollegiate

facilities is contrary to its
systemwide alcohol policy
and to its purpose of promoting a safe and healthy
learning environment for
all members of the university community," said
CSU Chancellor Charles

"I believe this policy is

Programs Committee.
"The

the positive contribution to

Survey shows students support Letter from the editor

the pride
change in campus food options
BY DEBRA DOERFLER
Special to The Pride
Ever wondered if your
thoughts about the campus
food options were shared by
other students? Well find out
here: A survey of the student body was conducted in
November of2005. The survey
addressed the attitudes of
CSUSM students concerning
the current food choices being
offered on campus including
its quality and price.
In addition, information was
gathered on what substitute
food choices they might prefer
over the current offerings.
The information obtained
from the survey indicated that
most students are dissatisfied with the food options on
campus. The primary reason
behind the dissatisfaction is
the price; most expressed that
the prices charged are too
high and the available options
too limited.
Over half (64 percent) of the
respondents indicated they felt
the value of food was only fair
or poor.
When questioned about
eating on campus 21.9 per-
cent of respondents indicated
they brought food to campus
from home while another 8.8
percent actually went home to
eat.
Another segment chose not
to eat campus food but purchased food off-site and ate
off-site (18.4 percent) or purchased off-site and returned to
campus (7 percent).
Despite the apparent dissatisfaction with food options
available on campus 27.2 percent of respondents indicated
that they do purchase food on
campus.
When questioned about the
categories of food purchased
most often on campus the
majority of respondents indicated that they purchase beverages.
The next most frequently
purchased food types were
sandwiches and pizza.
On overwhelming majority of the respondents indicated, they were aware of
food options at "The Dome",
"Campus Coffee", "Starbucks"
and the various vending
machines. However, not many
were aware that food is available at the "Cougar Den".
Students named 23 unique
food vendors they would like
to see on campus, all but one
being "fast-food".
Given the option of having
new food choices on campus
students were three times
more likely to suggest a burger
type eatery (Wendy's, Carl's
Jr., etc), a deli style eatery
(Subway, Quizno's, etc.), or
a Mexican style eatery (Mr.
Taco, Del Taco, etc.) vs. pizza,
chicken specific, or oriental
type eateries.
Slightly less than 10 percent
of respondents indicated they
would like to see a pub style
eatery (with beer) on campus.
What does all this mean? For
you, the student, it means if
you want to see some changes
you (we) need to unite our
voices, start a letter writing
campaign, let our dissatisfaction be heard by the administration!
The survey was conducted
by Marketing 442 students,

We have set some hefty goals
for ourselves here at The Pride.
We have pulled together an eclectic team of writers and editors who
have brought you, the Cougars of
Cal State San Marcos, a pretty darn
good newspaper. Now, we want to
go beyond last semester and bring
forth a paper worthy of the city of
San Marcos. I do hope that you, the
readers, will continue to email us at
The Pride (pride@csusm.edu) with
how you feel we are doing.
First, I will give you a n update on
our staff. The four main editors are
returning. Zachary, Christine, and
Erin will continue to bring the articles in. The Ombudsman from last
semester really kept us in check, so
I promoted him to Managing Editor.
Let us know if he does a good job.
If you emailed him last semester,
please continue to do so.
Our layout and design will be our
biggest change. Jason Encabo, who
should never be forgotten when talking about editors, has moved to the
position of business manager. So,
you will probably be seeing a new
look for The Pride in the coming
weeks as the new layout person,
Jason Saumur, will be taking the
helm.
We have a new staff of writers
starting this week. The first class is
tonight at 5 p.m. and we should see
some new names in the paper in the
coming weeks.
Last semester, we saw the birth of
some reoccurring themes and columnists. Robbins Report brought some
controversy and Cash Corner had some
good advice. We hope to continue these
columns this semester with a long time
favorite Jock Talk with Josh.
We are still looking for more.
Believe it or not, good writers are
not easy to find.
So, we are looking for a few good
writers who are interested in beats.
A beat is a journalism term that
refers to writing for a specific area.
For instance, we are interested in a
business beat, something that might
coincide with Cash Corner, a medical beat, and a political beat. Plus,
we could always use a good movie
critic.
The journalism class will help students write in all sections of a newspaper, like News and Features. So if
you are interested in newspapers, I
highly recommend it.
One of my favorite sections in our
newspaper is the opinion section.
Students can put down on paper their
frustrations and concerns about a
multitude of subjects. Politics, food
on campus, and even The Pride are
all topics that can be covered by you,
the student. Please air your frustrations with us, just have you facts
straight.

Robbins Report
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
According to our President,
defeatists are those folks who
refuse to see anything that is right
or positive. Mommy, I don't want
to be a defeatist.
Given the opportunity, our
President might have labeled me
a defeatist last year. I trashed
ASI for serving our needs with a
sex-worker advocate, questioned
those categorically opposed to
fee increases, and plowed over
the idea of a border fence.
This year, I'm going to play
nicely.

If this testimony does help, it
would still be wise to hold off on

Department deserves a chance
to speak for itself. If these are

H ow To ... Squash Jealousy
BY ERIN YOUNG
Pride Staff Writer
"A man without jealousy is like
a ball without bounce." Ok, so we
all get a little jealous sometime.
Big deal, it's only natural. But
how far is too far?
I want to clear the smoke about
jealousy. It's highly normal - the
fear of losing the one person you
love most is an overwhelming
emotion. But when your emotions
are centered around reading your
partner's mind and if you can't
read their mind you take it upon
yourself to look through their
cell phone (outgoing, incoming
calls and text messages) it's gone
abnormally too far.
When you suffer from jealously you're letting your emotions and insecurities get the
best of you, it can change who
you are as a human being. You
become aggressive, excluded and
honestly crazy. A common misconception about unhealthy jealousy is the belief that it measures
your partner's interest and love
in the relationship, when in fact
it is only the measurement of the
insecurity level.
Thefirststeps to cure your jealous ways are to: recognize and
admit it. As long as you know
you have a problem you can work
on it .
Take your insecurities and
'squash' them. Be comfortable
in your own skin and most of all:
be confident. Yes, easier said then
done, but find that inner fire that
drives you to be who you are, no
one or any amount of jealousy
can take that away from you.
Get to the core of your jealousy
- are you scared that your partner is going to cheat? A word of
advice, if someone is low enough
to cheat on their supposed loved
one there is nothing you can do
to prevent it, you might be able to
delay it with words and actions
but sooner or later it's bound to
happen, and wouldn't you rather
have it be sooner than later so you
stop wasting your time?
According to webmd.com "to
overcome or at least dilute jeal-
ously you most know your own
strengths, what do you specifically bring to the table?" Everyone is exceptional in their own
way so what's different about
you? Also, "don't
compare yourself
to anyone else
because you're
only sabotaging your own
uniqueness."
"It's
important
to remember
that jealousy
has a purpose,
all emotions try
to tell us something
about ourselves, jealousy is a fear of losing
power."
Jealousy
is
compulsive,
snooping and violating another's
privacy is only going to harm
your relationship and torture you
with unanswerable questions?
The best way to 'squash' jealousy
is dealing with it directly, before
it causes your relationship to self
destruct.

University Book shortage at campus store
Police
report
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
Books for more than 22 professors did not arrive to the University bookstore before the end
of the first week. Of the 'Alert'
cards marking these particular
empty spaces, some explained
that these titles were not available due to late order, while
others read that this was due to
late instructor order. Whether or
not there was an intended difference between these two labels
remains to be seen.
In trying to explain the issue,
Professor Quinney speculated
that "The bookstore gets hit

CSUSM Police are working to
combat the limits on department
expansion by working to increase
campus involvement within their
department. One such method is
the inclusion of the officers formerly assigned to Parking Services while also internally training the campus Community Service Officers.
Effective this semester, the
Community Service Officer staff
has increased to 12, which therefore allows two officers on duty
at all times. "Because the parking officers are responsible for
enforcing vehicle code laws and
regulations, they now answer to
University Police," said Chief of
Police Aaron Woodard. Woodard also commented on the benefits of including these officers BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN

about this end of it, obviously,

might very well remain a few
kinks in the process that need
ironing out."
Consistently, professors said
that they inform their students
of f uture reading lists as soon
as possible so that they can purchase books online.
Professor Charles, however,
expressed that he was "actually quite sympathetic to the
plight of bookstores in this age
of Amazon. I realize this isn't
true of the sciences, but for history books that are not survey

books that are) the

When questioned
on this matter via

professors remarked
that they had no criticism of the bookstore staff.

THE PRIDE
Breaking free of tradition this Spring Break 2006
ticipants will travel to and f rom
Oakland in vans and stay at a
local community church during
the program. The building will
provide the necessities including
a fully-equipped kitchen, bathrooms and a floor for students
to sleep on. Trip cost is $200
per student and, according to the
ASI Activities Coordinator, Sara
Gallegos, fundraising opportunities will be available for students in the hopes of covering all
expenses.
Interested students need to
apply by Tuesday, Jan. 31 and
submit an initial deposit of $50.
Applications are available in the
ASI business office, the Student
A ffairs office, or on the ASI webpage at www.csusm.edu/ASI. If
students have problems making
the down payment by Jan. 31,
they can arrange -special payment options with Gallegos. The
final balance of $150 will be due
March 10.
At this time, ASI can only offer
the trip to CSUSM students, faculty and staff. Participants are not
required to have prior skills, but
should come willing to take part
in the project enthusiastically.
The participants are expected to
contribute to the planning of the
trip, which involves attending biweekly meetings and fundraising.
Outside of working on homes, the
coordinators of the trip want to
plan other f un activities such as
sightseeing in the local areas.
The idea behind this trip is
to break away f rom the hazardous traditions of spring break to
create a safe, f un environment
for students to do something
constructive. This explains the
big rules: no drugs, alcohol or
gambling during the trip. Some
benefits to choosing Alternative
Spring Break over the traditional
Spring Break include: meeting
new people, learning new skills,
immersing yourself in the reality of hardship, working with a
highly regarded non-profit organization, building your resume,
partaking in change, and creating
a positive, lasting memory.
"It is hard to put in words the
feeling that you get when you
take yourself out of your comfort
zone and learn things about yourself, and what your abilities are,"
mentioned Gallegos.
Students looking for something
more meaningful to do with their
time off should look no further
than Alternative Spring Break
where space is still limited.

important that each individual
take the initiative to recycle for
themselves. The rest will be taken
care of. Each person needs to do
their part."
Cal State San Marcos provides
students, faculty and staff with
many available options to contribute to a 'greener' campus and
environment. Recycling bins can
be found next to almost every
exterior trash can and in the hallways of many high-traffic buildings. From scribbled-on pages
to plastic coffee cups to coffee
grinds, the Green Team enthusiastically encourages everyone
to recycle. To best help eliminate the need for recycling, Cougars can purchase reusable cups,
available in the University Store
and in The Dome, which come
with a complimentary drink.
Reducing is also a recommended
option. Habits such as printing on
both sides of a paper and using
Tupperware instead of Ziploc are
highly recommended.
While recycling is mandated
in California's public institutions, it's hard to understand how
highly the honor and prestige is
in winning the competition.
"This is awfully big on the east
coast. We didn't really know how
big this was. It has national resonance. We've been put on the
map, in a positive way/' mentioned Hanson about Cal State
San Marcos' win last year. "The
competition is only going t6 get
bigger and bigger and bigger."
The slogan is: Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle. Recycling should be
considered the last option as with
this year's new focus, Cal State
San Marcos has been challenged
to reduce its overall campus-wide
amount of both trash and recyclables. For more information on the
program and how to get involved,

Team website at www.csusm.

Across the Globe, and Women as
Global Business Leaders."
Women's Studies has approximately 30 students participating
in the major program, with additional students participating in
the minor program and at least
500 students enrolling in various
courses to satisfy upper and lower
division requirements. Equipped
with three tenure professors and
an average of five to seven lecturers, the department also hopes
to expand its staff to accommodate the new coursework and
help draw in students by offering
more consecutive classes.
"The task force seems interested in our transformation and
direction of the department. The
key message we have received
f rom them has been to expand
our core offerings," said Allison,
"by relying less of sociology, psychology and other majors to support the degree program by sharing courses. We will be working
on strengthening our internal
capabilities."
If this proposal for Gender and
Sexuality Studies is approved, by
fall 2007 students will have more
courses to choose from that involve
contemporary issues with a globalfocus. For more information about
the Women's Studies department,
please contact Dr. Terry Allison at

Students at Cal State San
Marcos have the opportunity to
help those less fortunate by teaming up with Habit for Humanity
in Oakland, CA. During Spring
Break, 21 selected students can
participate in the Alternative
Spring Break program, sponsored by ASI.
With winter break now a
memory, the time has come to
start counting down the days until
Spring Break. Instead of drinking
away time, money, and precious
brain cells this spring break, students have the option to apply to
a program that will enable them
to contribute to something positive by participating in this special program.
Alternative Spring Break will

Successful Student: Casey Raymond
B Y L ISA L ANDERS
P ride S taff W riter
Many of us at Cal State San
Marcos ponder the notion of a life
outside of college and our measly
part time jobs. We have been on
the education grind now for at
least four years straight, accustomed to writing papers, group
work, lectures, and of course that
mile walk we must endure to get to
our first class. Every semester we
go through these rituals in hope of
a promising career that will propel
us into the next step of our young
adult lives. Undoubtedly some of
us already have a career plan for
the next five years after college,
however, most still answer Grandma's notorious Christmas dinner
question: "So what are you going
to do when you get out of school?"
with a solid "I'm not sure yet."
Many then think to themselves
and decide that whatever comes
along is supposed to, justifying it
as a matter of fate.
Maybe it was fate that helped
me find a person who has survived
the CSUSM experience and is now
very productive in her new career.
Casey Raymond graduated in
2003, but started at a junior college near her home in Rancho
Cucamonga just to fulfill her general requirements. It was not until
she took a Sociology course there
that she became interested in it for
her major.
"I wanted to learn about society
and the people in it," she reflects.
Her next step in completing her
general Ed was to find a Cal State
that would not only be good for her
major, but would also fit her per-
sonal needs as well. So, as most of
us would do, she went to the internet for answers. Consequently she
found that Cal Sate San Marcos
was rated third among the top five
schools for Sociology. She also relished in the fact that it was one of
the newest Cal States and was still
very close to the beach.
Unlike a growing number of
students, it took Casey only a total
of four years to graduate.
"I took more than a full load
each semester, I took a summer
school course, and I really like
school, it was just easy for me."
In addition to her maintaining a full load she also worked
for Ralph's Grocery Store as a
cashier.

In addition to the Citizen's Academy, the
University Police Department is also working to implement loss prevention through
new methods such as Microdot. The program is still under development but, if
implemented, it will allow students and
faculty to purchase Microdot kits from
the University Store for marking valuables
such as laptop computers, cell phones,
iPods, books, calculators and palm pilots. If
stolen, marked items can be traced by University Police according to the Microdot
patterns made by the item's owner which

"Items can also be traced through pawn

by Fall 2006, Community Service Learning will begin working with the University
Police Department to provide internships

Sound familiar? This was and
is my life. I may be new here to
the CSUSM campus, but attending different colleges and universities is nothing new to me.
I'm 25 years old, graduated high
school in 1998, and am literally
working on my "10 yr. Bachelor's Degree".
I grew up in San Diego,
the oldest of three children.
Although others may have said
I had strict parents, to me I had
"abnormally" strict parents. If
homework was due at the end of
the week, my parents made sure
that it was completed the same
day I received the assignment.
I was not allowed to talk and
gossip on the phone like most
kids did, I wasn't even allowed
to know any boys, let alone talk
to them! Not only did homework have to be done before I
was allowed to watch TV, but
also all household chores.
Take out the trash. Fold the
laundry. Clean my room. Wash
the dishes.
It was unbearable!
Naturally, as soon as I graduated high school, I took the first
chance I got to get out of my
parents, grip. I fled to Brigham
Young University in Provo,
Utah. Why Utah of all places?
Well I was raised a member of
the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints, also known
as the Mormon Church. My parents did everything they could
to talk me into staying in San
Diego and attending Mesa College, but I was determined to
get away and see what was out
there.
Having sent in my acceptance
to BYU at the very last minute,
I was not able to get into the
dorms there, so as a 17 year old
freshman, I shared a three bedroom apartment with five other
girls. I was thrown into my own
version of MTV's Real World.
Now that I was free, f ree as a
bird, I went out of control. I had
What
if
no limits, no boundaries, no one
telling me what to do. It was
great!!
Or so I thought. Do you know
how much partying they do in
Utah?! Well* I was always out
clubbing, shooting pool, going
to house parties, and whatever
else I could do, I did. Of course I
never showed up to my morning
classes, and my grades slipped.
And yet, as stubborn and hard
headed as I was, I actually
started to miss my family and
friends in San Diego.
My parents convinced me to
move back a fter j ust one year at
BYU. I figured they were right;
I had no clue what I wanted to
major in, I was living off student loans, I was 18 and as lost
and confused as ever. They
had reeled me in with the line,
"Come home where it's f ree,
take the time to find what it is
you want to do, then go back up
there with a plan."
I never went back.
You can't give a kid candy,
then take it away and expect
everything to be ok. My f reedom was my candy, and the
minute I moved back home, the
candy was snatched right out
of my fingers. I had a curfew,
I was not allowed on the phone
a fter 9pm, I was not allowed out
of the house unless my parents
knew and met who I was going
out with. It was back to the jailhouse for me! I soon obtained a
j ob and attended Mesa College. I
was a part time bank teller, part
time college student, but also
still a part time partygoer.
I quickly became a shame
to my parents as I spent several years bouncing around the
San Diego County College District. Miramar, City, Mesa, I've
almost attended them all. In the
midst of this, I thought that I had
to obtain my freedom back, so I
moved out and got a roommate.
Life was soon a lot harder than
I had expected it to be. But as
hard headed as I am, I was not
going back to that jailhouse even
though the pressure was on nice
and strong. My younger brother
was doing well at San Diego
State University, and somehow,
I made my own way into SDSU.
I'm
I hated math and science, and
I loved to talk and write, so
majoring in Communication
j ust came naturally for me.
At this point, I was working
two part time jobs j ust to pay
the rent, and it was safe to guess
that my grades at SDSU were
starting to slip. In fact, they
slipped to the point that I found
myself on academic probation,
then disqualified. This was a
cold hard slap in the face.
I was then determined to get
back into school and do it right.
SDSU would only take me
back in a fter a period of time,
and under certain criteria that I
thought was a bit ridiculous, so
I explored my options.
There were a few people I
knew who had attended and
graduated f rom Cal State San
Marcos, and offered high recommendations. Some said it was
a smaller campus, less crowded.
Others have said it's j ust the
atmosphere that's better. All
have warned me about the stairs,
calling it CSU Stair Master!
For the week that I've been
here I have noticed that the
campus is beautiful. The
grounds are kept nice and clean,
and parking is not nearly as bad
as it is at SDSU. The people
here at CSUSM seem a lot more
down to earth and easy to talk
to. I 'm not sure what it is about
this place, but I 'm confident that
this will be my last stop at a college or university.
In college, I leaped at a chance
to get a tutor to help me pass
my horrid math classes to get on
with my life.
My problem is I 'm good at
being enveloped in the now.
At seventeen I felt old and that
life was flashing uncontrollably
before my eyes. Once through
junior high, every following
year seemed to gather speed. I
didn't realize as much as I do
now that high school was truly
only a stepping stone for the
next phases of life.
No time slips by as quickly
as the college years. I have seen
this school expand and change
since I arrived as a freshman
in the fall of 2002. I can still
distinctly remember freshman
year in which any student could
find parking i athe first lot without waiting for another person
to leave (and I 'm talking about
prime, first row parking!). I picture the tiny old library and how
I had to carry my track sports
bag with me all day because I
carpooled to a school that didn't
yet have a field house f ull of
lockers. My first friendships
were formed with people on the
track team my first year, and I
remember how most of them
didn't return my second year.

�OPINION
THE PRIDE
Tuesday, January 24, 2006
Parking is NOT easy when you are a disabled student
My first week back to school
involved abdominal surgery
and a special medical parking
permit at Cal State San Marcos.
I am a disabled student. My disease requires that I have surgery
about every year or so, depending on the severity of my symptoms.
This past week was the third
surgery I have endured while
attending CSUSM. Since I still
had two weeks left to recover
once spring semester started,
I was eligible for a temporary
medical permit so that I could
park in what most students call
The Dome parking lot. This
sounds great. As anyone who
attends CSUSM would know,
walking up Craven Rd. with
your backpack wouldn't work
out after having abdominal surgery.
So, here is the problem. The
first day of school I arrived at
7:30 a.m. I arrived to find that
the one medical permit spot on
the CSUSM campus had already
been taken. I spoke to someone in parking services to find
a solution. I was told to "arrive
earlier, or, get a ride to school."
I was also told to move my car
since I was not in the medical
permit spot% I explained that I
just had abdominal surgery, but
the parking services still said I
had to move my car.
Why is it that, with a school of
over 7,000 students, there is only
one medical parking spot? There
used t o be two. I knew from my
past surgeries that it was difficult to get one of the two spots,
but for some reason, parking
took one of those spots away. I
can't imagine how parking ser-
vices could decide to do this.
First of all, our campus is not
very disabled student friendly.
It is very difficult to get around
when you are trying to heal, or
dealing with the daily symptoms
of your disability. If you are a student with a disability, or who has
to have surgery, or even a student
who has had some type of accident, it is not easy to get around.
Why doesn't packing care about
having enough medical permit
spots to serve students with disabilities? The answer: If a student needs a medical/disabled
parking pass for more than 14
days they can apply for a DMV
permit which would give them
a placard to park in handicap
parking. This means anything
less than two weeks and you are
going to be one of the many disabled students fighting for that
one spot. This may be because
parking does not legally have to
supply these spots; they have a
choice; and here at CSUSM, they
choose not to. Well, they choose
to supply one. I find this deeply
disheartening. In fact, it is completely ridiculous.

Robbins Report
By JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
In a speech last week, you said
"I think the worst thing that can
happen for decision-makers is to
get a filtered point of view."
Mr. President, we agree on
something.
I know that you're busy with all
that Commander in Chief business, but if you have a moment
I'd like to f urther contaminate
your understanding of current
events.
According to the folks that
repeat stuff for money, ydu would
prefer a "diplomatic" solution to
the almost nuclear (translated:
nukular) standoff with Iran.
While diplomacy is also my
preference, I want to make sure
that we both understand what the
word doesn't mean.
The word "diplomacy" derives
from the Greek word "diploma",
which describes something that
has been folded in half. One can
trace the effects of this original meaning all the way up to
modern American diplomacy. I
think it was a famous gay marriage activist who, during long
distance calls to his suspicious
Arab lover, advocated folding the
entire world into two sides—one

made up of those who are with
us, and another made up of those
who are against us. I digress.
Clarification #1: The fact that
''diploma" describes something
that has been folded into two
should not compel you (in preferring diplomacy) to treat the
Middle East like a piece of paper
with Operation Iraqi Freedom to
the right of the fold and Operation Iranian Freedom to the left.
Plus placing "evils" beside a fold
rather than upon an axis might
confuse people.
In addition to being descriptive and potentially confusing,
one might also consider the word
"diplomacy" to be ominous. For
instance, one can arrange its letters to spell words like Modi
(which means wrath in Norse
Mythology), P.L.O. (which is a
terrorist organization according to Israel), and malo (which
means bad in Spanish).
Clarification #2: The sum of
diplomacy doesn't have to equal
the sum of its parts. I mean,
one can arrange the letters in
the name George Walker Bush
to spell "war loser" and "AWOL
shrub". Check it out.

Tristan & Isolde', a new
face on an old story
BY DAVID GATLEY
Pride Staff Writer
If you didn't see director Kevin
Reynolds' (The Count of Monte
Cristo, Waterworld) Tristan and
Isolde this weekend, don't worry
too much; you've already seen it
a hundred times.
Here's the gist: a noble knight,
Tristan (James Franco), and
soon to be Queen Isolde (Sophia
Myles) are born into royalty for
rival countries. The stars align
and fate intervenes, bringing the
two together in a chance meeting
some twenty or so years later. The
two secretly fall in love and are
then torn apart in what becomes
an epic struggle between loyalty
to ones' family and true love. If
this story sounds vaguely familiar, then congratulations, you
have a pulse! It's been done over
and over and over, each time hitting the same mark as Tristan
and Isolde did; a sweetly shallow love story that we will all
forget about when the next version comes out next year.

seen. In every scene it seems
every little detail had been
thought out and organized to
contribute to the greater picture.
This is one of the first movies
to capture the time period without exaggeration. The overall feel and mood of the movie
definitely helped add to the love
story, which needed all the help
it could get.
All the emotion for love that
transcends all was there, but
it felt strangely odd and out of

of anything, this story should be
good for at least a couple of tear
jerking scenes. My advice for
thé guys: be ready to shell out
twenty bucks to take your girlfriend to a typical chick flick,
and use this movie as leverage to
take her to see Underworld Evolution. As for the girls, you more
than likely know exactly how
this movie will play out, and you
won't be disappointed.
You know, it's somewhat fitting
that most movies about true love
narrowly miss the mark. Despite
their best efforts, it always seems
evident that the two star-crossed
lovers are after all acting for
our enjoyment. Perhaps that's
why we go back, time and time
again, to watch this story unfold;
to see if true love can actually be
found. Or, maybe it's because
it's the middle of January and
there's nothing else to do. Either
way, if you find yourself having
to pick a romantic date movie,
Tristan and Isolde should cater
to the evening appropriately, and
if you don't like it, don't worry,
a new version will be out shortly
with different actors who will
undoubtedly find themselves
lost in true love.

annual Chinese Lunar New Year Sponsored by the Asian Pacific
celebration kicked into high gear Student Society of Cal State San
Marcos, the event was put forth
to "bring educational value to the
campus, while promoting unity
and diversity to the entire student body," said APSS President,
Aamara Ysrael.
Festivities began with a performance by world famous singer/
song writer Magdalen Hsu-Li.
Hsu-Li was raised Chinese-American in the rural southern regions
of the United States. She says,
"Unity is hard to find," referring
to her song, "Divided State".
After Hsu-Li's performance,
attendees were treated to egg
rolls, fried rice and chow mien

was provided by DJ Ceywut of
Victory Entertainment, spinning
and providing entertainment for
all attendees.

BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
With the approaching deadline for the 2006-2007 CSUSM
General Scholarship, students
are hurrying to take advantage
of the opportunity to alleviate
some, if not all, school-related
debt.
"We offer 34 scholarships at
CSUSM. We use only one application for all 34 scholarships,"
said Michele L. Ojeda, scholarship coordinator for the financial
aid and scholarship office. "Each
of the 34. scholarships has its
own requirements. They range
anywhere from requiring a 3.5
GPA, and be a major in Biology,
Chemistry or Computer Science
(Fenstermaker

to The Bree Tinney Re-Entry
Scholarship which requires that
a student be a female, undergraduate, re-entry single parent
with at least a 3.0 GPA. So each
scholarship that we offer has its
own special requirements."
The General Scholarship
requires that applicants provide basic personal information,

Free and anonymous HIV
testing will be available to students on Wednesday, Feb. 1 at
the Student Health and Counseling Services, but despite the
peace of mind the test can offer,
many students will chose not to
take advantage of the service.
A common opinion, voiced
by many students, follows a
logic similar with 'it has nothing to do with me' as if somehow immune to the potentially
deadly disease. Even with the
opportunity of getting your
results back in 20 minutes with
the Orasure test, students will
continue to pass up this opportunity, for peace of mind.
When talking to Nick Tollison a 20-year-old Junior here
at CSUSM about getting this
free anonymous HIV testing,
he expressed his reason for not
getting tested; "I'm not worried
that I have it. I feel comfortable
in the things I have done to be
as safe as possible." And when
asked if knowing give him
peace of mind, Tollison said:

All guests received "li xi" envelopes for a raffle drawing. Each
"li xi" (a small red envelope often
used to exchange "luck money")
contained fortunes tucked inside.
One lucky recipient received the
fortune of the dog inside their
envelope, winning a beautiful
golden dog figurine.
The event also featured the traditional Lion Dance, performed
by the San Diego Lucky Lion
Dancers, which spreads good
luck to all.
The Chinese New Year, also
known as the Spring Festival,
is celebrated as one of the most
important holidays in Asian countries. Though celebrated in various ways across the globe, certain
aspects of the holiday are universal in all of the celebrations. This
helps foster a sense of unity while
also promoting diversity within
the Asian cultures.

The NLRC presents a lecture o n
Equal Rights a nd Latino influence
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos'
National Latino Research
Center will host a lecture on
equal rights and economic justice on Thursday, Feb. 9, welcoming Professor of Literature
Jorge Mariscal, as the event's
guest speaker.
Mariscal is currently a faculty member at the University
of California, San Diego, the
director of the UCSD Chicano/
Latino/Arts and Humanities
Program as well as the associate director of the UCSD California in Comparative Perspectives Program.
Professor Jorge Mariscal
Mariscal has lectured
throughout the United States,
Mexico • and the University
of Havana, Cuba. He is a veteran of the Viet Nam War and
has written on many cultural
and historical issues including
Latinos in the military and the
Chicano Movement of the late
1960s.
Many of the topics at this lecture will be taken from Mariscal's latest book, "BrownEyed Children of the Sun: Lessons from the Chicano Movement, 1965-1975." One of the
main issues addressed will be
the way the Chicano Movement
has been taught at the university level for the last 30 years.
He will be providing a background on the Chicano Movement during the Viet Nam war
era and relate important issues
to the current conditions for
Latinos in the United States.
The basic message of the presentation, according to Mariscal, is that people of Mexican
descent have played an important role in the U.S. history.
"There is no need to fear
immigrants and other Spanish
speaking communities in the
United States even when they,
like immigrant groups in the
past, insist on maintaining their
linguistic and cultural traditions," said Mariscal.
Professor Mariscal has plans
to continue to collaborate more
with the NLRC and would like
to see more permanent structures with the center and UCSD.
Mariscal believes that these
two institutions will help each
other learn about populations of
color in northern and southern
regions of La Jolla. The NLRC
specializes in research and
training on the Latino population.
"I would like people to learn
something about the history of
Mexican American activism
in the United States, the role
played by Chicanos and Chicanas in the progressive struggles
of the late 1960s and the need
to renew our efforts to achieve
equal opportunity for Latinos,"
said Mariscal.
The lecture will be held in
the Clarke Field House Grand
Salon at 6:30 p.m. The event
is free and open to the public.
For more information call the
NLRC at 760.750.3500.

With that, the Director of
the Student Health & Counseling Services, Dr. Karen
Nicholson said in reference to
HIV testing "There is always
a possibility of exposure. It is
better to know sooner rather
then later.. .because precautions are not just condoms."
Nicholson further said, "HIV
is still prevalent in our communities, it may not be in the
news but it is still there." Well,
it is in the news today, because
one person infected with HIV
should be enough to get tested
and prompt the use of protection for safe and healthy sex
because HIV is still infecting
those around you.

as well as major, current academic level and graduation date.
The application also includes a
required typed two page essay,
detailing student involvement
in campus activities and community, academic experiences,
future academic or career goals,
and any adversity that has been
overcome.
According to Ojeda, students should be creative and
take their time when writing the
essay because the essay can be
a deciding factor in the scholarship selection process.
"We would suggest that student's take 5 or 10 minutes to
read through all 34 scholarships
that we have listed on our website. In addition, the majority
of our scholarships do require
that the student have 'financial need'," according to Ojeda.
"This is determined by the student completing a FAFSA (Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid), every January. This application also has a March 2 priority deadline."
The Financial Aid and Scholarship Office received 527 applications for the 2005-2006 academic school year, but the office
hopes to receive more with each
upcoming year, added Ojeda.
Applicants that meet the
requirements for each of the
34 scholarships are determined
by running the applications
through individual reports. A
Faculty Review Committee
reads through every application and essay, meets to discuss
each of the applicants, comes
to a consensus, then makes a
decision; and while the Faculty
Review Committee makes the
initial decisions, the scholar
donors prefer to make the final
decisions.
"EVERYONE should apply! It
is not a difficult process and it
could pay off big time for you.
Our scholarships range anywhere from $150 to $7000!"
said Ojeda. "We offer our General Scholarship Application
every year. But we also post in
our office individual scholarship
applications for outside scholarship sources. We encourage students to stop by our office periodically and check out what we
have posted."
Priority applications are due
no later than March 2, 2006
and can be picked up in the
Financial Aid and Scholarship
Office, in Craven Hall 4204, or
on their website at www.csusm.
edu/finaid/scholarship. Applications and essays can be mailed,
dropped off at the financial aid

year as the "Year of the Dog"
along with years 1958,1970,1982
and 1994. Those born under this
sign tend to be very loyal, kind
and generous. They will also work
hard to right wrongs and are very
good at keeping secrets. Western
Zodiacs are known to emphasize
similar traits in their signs.
Traditionally, the Lunar New
Year celebration starts with the
New Moon and ends with the
Full. Certain days are set aside
for specific events or activities,
some are for visiting friends and
family, while others are designated to clean and decorate your
home so as to "sweep away the
bad luck" or "old spirits" from the
year before.
The color red, considered the
luckiest of all colors, is a very
important aspect to the Lunar
New Year and is used throughout
the decorations, while red clothing is worn to help bring that
person good luck. Festivities also
include the lighting of firecrackers to ward away bad luck and
evil spirits.
Each of the decorations at the
APSS celebration held a specific
meaning necessary for having a
good New Year. The walls were
decorated with Chinese poems
written on red paper that wished
happiness, health and prosperity.
The centerpieces on the tables
were decorated with bamboo,
tangerines and an assortment of
candies, bamboo signifying compatibility while tangerines and
oranges represent abundant happiness. The assortment of candy
is arranged in either a circle or
octagon and is called "The Tray
of Togetherness" and each type of
candy represents good fortune.
The APSS president was happy
to call the night a success saying
that "people enjoyed themselves,
came together as a community
on campus, and spread diversity
through unity and learning."
In addition to campus-wide
celebrations, San Diego hosted a
Lunar New Year event f roma new
venue, at Qualcomm Stadium. In
conjunction with the Vietnamese
New Year, called The Tet Celebration, this three day celebration
was hosted by the Vietnamese
American Youth Alliance from
Friday, Jan. 27 through Sunday,
Jan. 28.
The celebration at Qualcomm
Stadium had something for everyone, from all ages to all cultures
and walks of life. For children,
there were many booths set up
with games, and even some carnival rides. The Miss Vietnam of
San Diego pageant also coincided
with the event. Many local and
international artists performed
songs and dances on the main
stage amid the delicious smells of
food booths representing an array
of cultures.
"Having Tet at Qualcomm Stadium is a great idea; it brings
greater awareness to not only the
Asian community, but to everyone else in this city as well,"
said DJ Happee of San Diego's
radio hip-hop station, Z90.3. In
the past, festivities were held in
smaller parts of the city where
the educational value and awareness was limited. To see the event
moved to Qualcomm Stadium
was a momentous occasion for
the Vietnamese community.
Got Deutsch? The German Club seeks to expand their membership
BY KATRENA ROBINSON
Pride Staff Writer
Cal State San Marcos' German
Club hopes to recruit new members who share enthusiasm for
German culture, traditions and
helping to bring a 'taste' of Germany to the campus.
"Getting involved with a club
or student organization makes the
whole school experience worth
while/' said Jean Scheuneman,
president of the German Club.
The club meets odd Thursday's
at 1 p.m. in front of the campus
Starbucks. Members use this
time to have f un and discuss any
necessary club business. To join,
prospective members do not need
to be German or know German,
but must share an enthusiasm for
the German culture. And with no
dues, the German Club is ideal
for any student's budget.
Among many of the proud contributions the club has made to
the campus, last year's Oktoberfest attracted a considerably large
crowd of hungry students. It was
the mouth-watering aroma of
barbecue drifting through the air
and the delicious taste of plump
bratwurst that helped to familiarize students with the German
Club. Beyond the bratwurst, the
event also unveiled the coveted
'Weenie Award,' in which par-
ticipants were provided a rare
opportunity to project a sausage
onto a marked target.
In addition to Oktoberfest, the
German Club is also involved in
the International Fair. This event
provides students with the opportunity to sample traditional dishes
while also being immersed in the
details within each culture.
The German Club is always
recruiting, willing to take anyone
and everyone interested, according to Scheuneman.
"I love school so much more
now that I am involved with a

Grass lawns, hedges, trees, and
brilliant red bougainvillea ornament
the beautifully landscaped campus
of Cal State San Marcos. But growing in front of Craven Hall are two
special oak trees. Smooth tan bark
covers the trunks, and small green
leaves cover the branches. A gold
plaque stands between them. These
are the "Twin Oak Trees" planted in
1995 in honor of the late Marie Van
Ness by her husband, Donald.
Donald Van Ness died in 2000 at
the age of 86. He and Marie moved
to Rancho Bernardo in 1977. He was
a retired Navy captain and served in
World War II.
Carol Bonomo, CSUSM director
of legislative affairs, said, "Don was
an entrepreneur who used to love to
say why work forty hours a week
for somebody else when he could
work eighty hours a week for himself." Bonomo said that Van Ness
made his money in a dry cleaning
business. "He was one of those folks
who decided if he was going to be
in the dry cleaning business, he'd be
the best in the business. Apparently
he was."
Van Ness supported a number of
charities, including the San Diego
Zoo, and was one of the founders
of Sharp Hospital. According to
Bonomo, the Van Nesses became
acquainted with the first president of CSUSM, William Stacey,
through mutual friends. According
to his Oct. 26, 2000 obituary in the
North County Times, Van Ness was
a member of the university foun-

The Math Lab, located in the

provides important services to

To the students on campus who

of the math lab might seem quite
appropriate. However they are
mistaken, the math lab is not a

dollar endowment to the university
"for the development of entrepreneur and business studies." After
Marie died, Dr. Stacey suggested
that Don plant the two oaks in her
memory.
Russ Decker, Director of Planning, Design, and Construction,
said that as the Twin Oaks grow,
their branches will some day create
a canopy of leaves, representing
the bond between Don and Marie
Van Ness. The plaque between the
trees reads "Twin Oak Trees. Contributed by Donald O. Van Ness,

�Jock Talk with Josh: Super Bowl preview
By JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Sports
are all
about the
fairy tale
e nding.
As kids
we all
play out
the scenario
w here
it's
fourth and goal, and the Super
Bowl is tied with one second
left on the clock. Of course, we
always score the game winning
touchdown.
Not every player gets the
opportunity to win a championship. Just ask Jerome Bettis.
After the Steelers lost in the AFC
championship last season to New
England, Bettis took his time in
choosing to return for a 13 NFL
season. He returned, and now he
is playing in hisfirstSuper Bowl,
which just so happens to be held
in Detroit, Bettis' hometown.
There are very few people in
th
the NFL who deserve a championship more than "The Bus". The
entire Steelers team has made
it known that they were playing this season for Bettis. Last
season when Pittsburgh lost to
New England, Hines Ward broke
out in tears during a press conference because he thought that
was the last game Bettis was ever
going to play.
When Bettis fumbled at the
goal line against Indianapolis in
the Divisional playoffs, Robert
Mathis picked up the fumble for
the Colts and only one thing ran
through Ben Roethlisberger's
mind. He needed to make the
tackle for his buddy Jerome.
The Steelers have the clear
advantage because they are playoff tested. The Seahawks franchise has never even been to a
Super Bowl. Ya, okay, so they
have the reigning NFL MVP in
running back Shaun Alexander. I would much rather have
Jerome Bettis and Willy Parker,
because if the Steelers grab a
lead, they will not lose it since
they have the best ball control
offense in the NFL with two run-
ning backs who have two completely different styles. Parker
is the speedy slasher. When the
Steelers need a big play they go
to him. Bettis is the bulldozer
who is guaranteed to get the
short yardage first downs. This
means that their running game
is never tired and is always an
option.
The Steelers also have the
intangibles like a defense that
is filled with playmakers such
as Troy Polamalu, Joey Porter
and James Farrior. They also
have the ability to pull out one
trick play a game, so don't be
surprised if you see something
odd.
Ben Roethlisberger is 26-4
in his career as a starter and the
Steelers have all the momentum
in the world with seven consecutive wins. I never thought
I would see a No. 6 seed beat a
No. 1 seed in the Super Bowl,
but it is going to happen on February 5 when the Steelers win
31-24.

Spring sports phree-on-three
t

BY ERIN YOUNG
Pride Staff Writer
With spring sports gearing up, our
coaches and athletes are hard at work
training for what looks like a promising
season for Cal State San Marcos.
Men's golf ranked third in the country, and women's in the top 10. They are
expected to qualify for nationals and
bring home a taste of victory.
Track andfieldhas higher expectations
for their soon to be All Americans this
spring, but with sending eight athletes to
nationals in 2005, it's going to be hard to
beat.
"We're very excited for Spring 2006,
our teams will do well and I'm sure
exceed all of our expectations," said Dr.
Nichols, athletic director of Cal State San
Marcos.
Spring 2006 is looking good, and with
four new teams on the rise for Fall 2006
and Spring 2007, our athletics at Cal State
San Marcos arefinallycoming around.
Men and women's soccer, starting in
Fall, both coached by Ron Pulvers, is an
exciting new addition for CSUSM. Coach
Pulvers was at Baker University in Kansas
where he coached soccer for 10 years and
built an impressive coach's resume.
Baseball, starting in Spring 2007, is
coached by Dennis Pugh. Coach Pugh
has several state championships under
his belt and is gracing us with his presence after coaching for Mission Bay High
School.
Jennifer Mioo is the head coach for
CSUSM's softball, starting in spring
2007. She has her master's degree in
academic counseling and has already
recruited a full set of players.
"It's an exciting time for Cal State San
Marcos as we build and add new sports
and amazing coaches to our lineup," said
Dr. Nichols.

Although the NFC champions, No. 1 seeded Seahawks, are
coming in as 4 point underdogs
to the AFC champion Pittsburgh
Steelers, I wouldn't count them
out just yet. This team which is
coming into its first Super bowl
appearance in franchise history
with a 15-3 record, has a few
advantages against the favored
Steelers.
Mike Holmgren, their coach,
is a veteran when it comes to
the Super bowl scene; he took
the 1998 Green Bay Packers
to Super bowl XXXI and beat
the New England Patriots 3521. Steelers' head coach Bill
Cowher can't say that he has
ever tasted Super bowl victory.
At the helm of the Seahawks
offense is Matt Hasselbeck,
a 7 year quarterback out of
Boston College with a completion percentage of 66.7 this
year. Hasselbeck has accounted
for 25 touchdowns this year.
Behind Hasselbeck will be the
always dangerous Shaun Alexander, who coming into this
game has accounted for 1880
of the Seahawks rushing yards
this season, which is the highest in the NFL. He also scored
27 touchdowns. Hasselbeck
and Alexander aren't the only
threats on this already amazing offense; they are assisted by

State, with an average of almost

One of the major questions for
this team is how they are going
to stand up against the Steelers'
defensive line. The answer is the
o-line leader, Robbie Tobeck,
who along with being an outstanding center was recognized
for his talent by being added to
the Pro bowl roster. All of this
would mean nothing without
the support of their outstanding
defense which has been lead by
the 5'11", 238 pound rookie from
Southern California, Lofa Tatupu,
who coming into the Super bowl
has four sacks, nineteen assists,
eighty-five tackles and a partridge
and a pear tree. This guy has got
everything that a defensive coordinator could ask for, and he is
only a rookie, and by the way, will
also be taking a trip to Honolulu
for this year's Pro bowl.
What I just can't get over is
that this team came into the post
season with the number one
record in the NFC and now they
are the underdogs. Nevertheless,
this year's Super bowl is really
starting to show all the signs of a
great game. Both teams are relatively healthy and ready to take
home that beautiful trophy and
all the bragging rights that come
with it. I am sure it is easy to tell

exercise. A lot of students like
to participate in sports, but are
reluctant to join a school team
because they are so demanding
on the student's time. However,
organizing a basketball game
with friends can be challenging, especially when so many
students work. Intramurals
allow students to get together
and play a sport in a fun, relaxing environment. There is no
organized practice and there's
no pressure to win.
"It's a great way to hang out
with friends on Friday and do
something fun," said Nemat-
bakhsh.
Getting exercise doesn't have
to involve a boring treadmill
and fun with friends doesn't
have to involve drinking. Participating in intramurals is a
fun alternative to doing sets
at the gym or playing video
games with friends. Even students who have never played
basketball can come out and
try something different.

Some of the surfers on the
team have had practice competing in other contests such
as the Volcom and Matix/
Sun Diego Pro/Ams. Jeremy
Cannon explained, "When
you are surfing for money
it's important to make more
rounds. This creates an incen-
tive to surf more conservatively in order to continue
advancing." With the college
teams, the surfers have more
of an incentive to go all out in
every heat because gathering
points is the main focus. The
surf team's next event will be

Making Waves in 2006
BY HEATHER M. ZEMAN
Special to The Pride
Taking tenth at the National
Scholastic Surfing Association (NSSA) National Championship last June only got the
men and women of CSUSM's
surf team itching to get back
in the water for the 20052006 season. The top ten was
great, but according to captain
Jeremy Cannon, "The top five,
and eventually the top three, is
where I'd really like to see Cal
State, and we have the potential to do so."
The veteran surfers on the
team were ready to get tryouts
underway this fall. With the
loss of three valuable surfers
due to graduation, injury and
other circumstances, the team
was stoked to pick up four
equally valuable and competitive surfers this year.
On January 16, the men and
women that made up CSUSM's
A and B teams met up at the
Huntington Beach Pier to go
against 24 other schools at the
second event of the season.
Points are accumulated by
each surfer that advances to
the next round. Jeremy Cannon
earned 17 points for the A team
after advancing to the quarterfinals. Third year veteran
Sean Hastings also racked up
some points by making it into
the third heat. The B team's
Erin Lewis earned 12 points
and a third place finish in the
women's final. The day ended

�Letter to the Editor: Where have all the whiskers goneP
Since classes started back up,
I've been on campus a week now
and have yet to see any of them.
I suspect there are still a few
around, but I know in my heart
that many have died, probably
having been poisoned. I know
this because I bore witness to one
death at the end of last semester.
Ifindit odd, upon reflection, that
those responsible for the "regulation" would start the "process"
before classes were actually out. I
mean, why would they want there
to be any witnesses? Perhaps they
just miscalculated. Those of you
reading this are probably wondering, 'what the heck?'
Fellow student, have you noticed
that the "whiskers," A.K. A. native
cottontail rabbits, are... a bit, oh,
shall we say, a bsent... okay, how
about lesser in number than they
were last semester? Do you think
this is because the local coyotes
came in during winter break and
thinned them out? Did you ever
give it any thought at all? Ah, now
you're curious (I hope). I can't say
with certainty, so I'm not going to,
but I suspect that the campus facilities staff is tasked with "keeping
the numbers down."
Last semester I saw a cottontail
sitting hunched up in the shade of
a pillar in mid-day (not normal
behavior), and I knew something
was wrong with him. Sadly, I was
right, and when I came out from
class he was dead. I suspect there
were few (students) that saw him,
and even less still that wondered
what he was doing there, sitting
beside a busy walkway. But I saw
him, and I recognized his' pain,
and it tore at my heart to be powerless to help him. If it had been
a kitten, or perhaps a Labrador
puppy, or a red-tailed hawk, or a
coyote . .. how many more would
have noticed?
The "management" of native
wildlife goes far beyond the borders of our campus community.
Our attitudes toward those animals
and things that we don't under-
stand or appreciate causes misunderstanding, pain, and suffering.
Look around you, what's going
on? Are there teens setting cats
on fire for fun, maybe next week
they'll be taking rifles into classes.
The animals in the lab, what are
they really going through? My
question is, "Where have all the
whiskers gone?" What's yours?
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
I'd like to forgive the Women's Studies Department for not
addressing the concerns that I
raised in my first column. They
must have been out shelling human
decency in the War on Embryos.
Too harsh you say? Hey, I love
freedom too.
On the subject of freedom, the
Justice Department recently subpoenaed the internet search engine
company Google, Inc. to relinquish data about the search queries
its users made over a two month
period of 2005. The subpoena
is related to the Department's
attempt to appeal the Supreme
Court's injunction on the Child
Online Protection Act (COPA).
Said act penalizes website opera-
tors who allow minors to view
pornography.
Google's response: Take a hike.
My response: Bravo.
Let's accept the Supreme Court's
ruling that "COPA was not the
least restrictive means available
for the Government to serve the
interest of preventing minors from
using the Internet to gain access to
harmful materials." I'm sure ya'll
understand that the government
cannot deny a fundamental right
unless it proves that (a.) the policy/
law is related to some compelling
state interest and that (b.) there
aren't less restrictive means.
While the Supreme Court might
have beenrightin ruling that COPA
fails the aforesaid test, I struggle
with a notion that the Court, the
federal government, and probably
even Google, all accept: the notion
that preventing minors from using
the internet for pornography is a
compelling state interest (which
would justify restricting freedom
of speech/expression on the net).
I understand that the federal
government has a right to regulate commerce and a legitimate
concern for decency and innocence, but it seems that preventing
minors from watching dirty love
on a computer is more of a compelling parental interest.
Wouldn't most people agree that
proper parenting is the best solution to the internet porn bug? If
that is the case, should compelling
interests be deemed compelling
when the efficacy of government
action is second-rate?
I applaud Google for its refusal
to cooperate, for I believe that the
benefits of protecting privacy are
more significant than the costs of
slowing the government's intrusive
attempt to accomplish something
that parents are more responsible
and prepared for themselves.
Chew on that idea. I could be
wrong.
In an effort to further explore
the status of freedom in America,
here's my take on the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program.
The Top 3 List: Things I would
say/do if I knew the NSA was
wiretapping my phone line.
#3 "Hey Mr. NSA man, I know
that you're listening. Why don't
you come on over and bake my
cake baby.. .my yellow cake ura-
niumthat is.
#2 "I was like so embarrassed
last night. After we finished
eating, IRAN and IRAN and
IRAN all the way homefromthat
restaurant, for I was seeping lethal
gas and really had to drop some
explosive stuff.
That's disgusting. Can I get a
drum roll anyway?
#1 (Holding telephone receiver
up to a stereo playing 50 Cent)
"I'mma ride with my rap shit and

�Forget what you think,
and see Brokeback
Mountain
BY DAVID GATLEY
Pride Staff Writer
Chances are I don't need to
say anything about this movie. A
review of Brokeback Mountain is
more or less completely irrelevant
in any assistance for formulating
your opinion. When it comes to
controversial movies like this,
most everyone knows whether
or not they will enjoy the movie
before they even see it, if they
ever in fact do. But, this movie
has already won 4 Golden Globe
awards, including best dramatic
motion picture, so maybe it's
worth giving it a fair chance.
So let's cut to the chase
already. Ennis Del Mar (Heath
Ledger) and Jack Twist (Jake
Gyllenhaal) are two cowboys in
the sixties herding sheep across
the dramatic expanses of the
Wyoming landscape. After finishing the summer's job, Jack
and Ennis return to their normal
lives. The two men get married,
have children and move to opposite ends of the country. For the
next twenty years, the two keep
in touch and manage to see each
other a few times a year, catching
up on their separate lives. Roll
credits. Oh yeah, I almost forgot,
the two menfindtheir soulmates
in each other and fall passionr
ately in love. Although living
straight men's lives when not on
Brokeback Mountain, the two
seal their love for one another
from all those around them. That
one summer's job back in the sixties unveiled an undeniable connection between the two, forever
changing the two men.
The story weaves in and out
of the struggles with keeping a
secret passion for an outlawed
love from the world, all while
living an "acceptable" life back
home. The infamous tent love
scene was acted out in the first
fifteen minutes of the movie and
left a rigid stiffness with most

of the shocked audience. However, as the story progresses
and the two cowboys find themselves more comfortable with one
another, the love story evolves
and becomes far more realistic
and understandable. Naturally, as
a critic, it is easy for me to pick
apart lovers on screen relationships or the lack thereof, however
as the awards indicate, Ledger
and Gyllenhaal capture the emotion undeniably.
The entire movie pitted the
stark contrast of the expected
stoic, heterosexual cowboy with
the soft, emotional, gay one. The
differences between the majestic beauty of Brokeback Mountain and the relative yawn of a
town both men would eventually return to also polarized the
two lifestyles; even the drastic difference from the love the
men shared with each other and
the relative duty they served to
their wives. Every single aspect
of the movie was in opposition
to something else, and the two
main characters find themselves
constantly in the middle of their
competing worlds; not allowed to
love each other but unable to turn
their backs from it.
Best Dramatic Picture, Best
Actor, Best Motion Picture, and
Best Screenplay, the awards
speak for themselves. Guys and
girls, men and women, straight
couples and gay couples should
find this movie at the least
moving, and at the most, as one
of the best movies of the year. I
give Brokeback Mountain 4 paws
out of 5. It's a wonderfully acted
movie, both visually and emotionally stunning to anyone who
sees it.
H o w T o ...Destroy your denim
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
Photo By Amanda Keeley / The Pride
Destroyed denim is definitely a hot look, but to achieve
the distressed appearance, you
either have to wear your jeans
out and let them naturally
wear or you have to buy them
that way. But to actually wait
for your denim to wear and
tear takes way too long and
most clothing stores don't even
carry destroyed denim. So,
even if you find the right store
and your size, it can dent your
wallet up to 80 or 100 dollars.
Well, good news. There's an
easy and quick way to get this
great damaged look with the
jeans you already have at home.
First step: pre-wash your jeans
in a washing machine along
with fabric softener, old tennis
shoes and a towel. This helps to
soften the denim so it is easier to
destroy.
Second step: mix one part
bleach with two parts water. This
solution will be used to make the
worn, faded look.
Third step: put jeans on and sit
down and use the bleach solution
to dab on the scrunched up areas
of the jeans and other places
jeans would fad naturally, for
example, the back pockets and
knee area.
Forth step: take sand paper
and rub on knee area and hemlines. Sand for about 20 minutes,
depending on how faded you
want your jeans to look.
Fifth step: take a utility knife
and cut two straight horizontal
cuts about two to four inches
apart. Now slide your hand
behind the denim you just cut.
Sandpaper the strip of denim
you created until you start to
see tiny holes and white cords.
Separate the white cords with
your fingernails, but be careful
you don't want to rip the cords.
For an extra destroyed look, take
a cheese grater and rub around
the main holes you created for a
unique look.
Sixth step: if you want your
jeans to look extra old and aged,
soak the jeans in coffee over
night.
Lastly, put the jeans in the dryer
on high. Feel free to add any special touches like paint splatter or
grease smudges. Remember, it's
up to you: be creative.
BEER. OF THE WEEK:
ImyerM
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
While Samuel Adams is far
from an unknown beer, anyone
familiar with the seasonal brews
put forth by Sam Adams knows
that they produce many lesserknown yet exceptional beers.
The limited edition Imperial Pilsner is one lesser-known beer by
Samuel Adams that you might
want to get your hands on while
supplies last.
Brewed as a special Fall 2005,
limitedly produced beer, the Pil-
pilsner
sner was brewed with large quantities of Hallertau hops from
Bavaria in Germany. Featuring
a dark golden-brown color and
cloudy complexion, the Imperial
Pilsner is a unique tasting treat
that may not agree with all palates due to its strongflavor.Yet,
those who do not mind the bitterness and citrus produced by the
extremely large quantity of hops
obviously used in this brew, will
appreciate the richness of flavor
and smooth, almost creamy, texture of this beer.
Bottled in pint and 8 oz bottles,
instead of the usual 12 oz bottles
used with most beers, a large
bottle of Imperial Pilsner with
a light meal or dessert is a great
end to a night. Plus the large
quantities of hops present in the
Pilsner will ensure a goodnight's
sleep for those lucky enough to
find a bottle. While a limited
edition beer, released for last
fall only, some stores still have
a few bottles left on the shelves
for those who might have missed
the Imperial Pilsner last year. A
strong-flavored and unique beer,
the Imperial Pilsner is worth the
search and a taste before it disappears for good.

Faculty protest decisions of CSU Board of Trustees
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
Two hundred California Faculty Association members and
allies voiced their frustrations
and disapproval of the CSU Board
of Trustees, demanding that the
trustees rethink their priorities
and focus on the true needs of the
universities.
In response to the Board of
Trustees decision to increase student tuition by 15 percent while
simultaneously granting payraises for executive administrators, the CFA protested in front
of the Chancellor's Office in
Long Beach and "collectively"
addressed the board during a
scheduled Board of Trustees
meeting, on Wednesday, Feb. 2.
"We are working hard against
the opposition," stated John
Halcon, professor in the College
of Education at CSU San Marcos,
about the CFA's position, "and we
are working even harder to join
more in our campaign."
Ten diverse keynote speakers,
including faculty, CFA administrators and two student representatives, voiced the unilateral
disappointment in the Board of
Trustees' actions in neglecting
the heart and soul of the CSU: the
faculty and students. Collectively,
speakers highlighted the depth of
problems in the system, focusing on inadequate funding, heavy
workloads, increased classroom
ratios, erosion of salary compensation, resource constraints,
the inability for faculty to afford
California's cost-of-living and the
demand that the CSU Board get
their priorities straight.
Full-time faculty members
receive 25 percent less in wages
than comparable California institutions, making it difficult to
retain and recruit department
faculty. Concerns were raised
addressing how many faculty
members can no longer afford
middle-class standards of living,
making it nearly impossible to
own a home.

Last semester, ASI ran a pilot
program to provide the New York
Times and North County Times
free of charge on campus. The
placards on the newspaper stands
may read "courtesy of ASI", but
the reality is that all students are
paying for those papers.
Students walk by the newspaper stands on a daily basis and
give little thought to them, how
they got there and who pays for
them. For a short time, the stands
were empty. Now with the semester in full swing, the newspapers
are back. Which begs the question: who is 'really' funding this
program?
Initially, "ASI did pay for the
papers to be on campus," said
ASI President, Marc DeGuzman.
ASI had allocated $7,000 for both
the New York and North County
Times. ASI spent less than the
$7,000 budgeted for the program because the campus is only
charged for the amount of papers
taken from the stands.
This semester, ASI solicited
funding from the University.
"Last spring the department of
Academic Programs was generous enough to continue the paper
after the pilot period through the
rest of the semester," said DeGuzman. The department donated
$2400 to the readership program,
but it was not enough to cover
both newspapers for the entire
semester. The North County
Times was able to use funds
available through their education
outreach program to cover the
remaining cost.

Department is currently investigating this matter with a

of the CSUSM Police Department provided some tips to
help students avoid becoming victims of vehicle theft
or burglary. "If at all possible never replace a factory
installed stereo," said Miller,
who explained that although
stereo equipment tracking
has advanced in recent years,
the theft of a stereo results in
excessive interior and exterior
car damage. Secondly, Miller
advised, "Do not leave valuables in plain sight inside your
vehicle." This tip seems the
most basic of all, but Lieutenant
Miller explained that students
should rethink what is considered valuable. For students,
valuables can include not only
iPods, stereos or laptop computers, but also textbooks and
course materials. "A science
textbook bought for $150.00
can be sold back to the bookstore for almost half the initial
price, making books a popular
item to steal," said Miller.
University Police have
asked that students with any
information regarding this or
other vehicle burglaries contact them at (760) 750-4567 or
through their anonymous tip
line at (760) 750-TIPS.

I n t he E xecutive's C hair w ith S DG&E
BY MICHELLE HEROLD
Pride Staff Writer
Edwin A. Guiles, chairman
and CEO of San Diego Gas and
Electric, climbed in the 'Executive's Chair' on Wednesday, Feb.
1, to share his knowledge, leadership and approach to business
strategies.
Sponsored by CLIMB, the
Center for Leadership Innovation and Management Building, and directed by Professor
Nichols and Dr. Pillai, the focus
of thè program is to expose students to influential leaders in the
community and demonstrate the
differences in business tactics
and philosophies.
While in the Executive's Chair,
Guiles stressed his simple, yet
sincere management style.
SDG&E is a San Diegan multibillion dollar Fortune 500 company, serving all of San Diego
County and some regions in
Orange County as well, making
it the largest gas company in the
country. Guiles started first as
an engineer 34 years ago, working up through the ranks to management and beyond.
Guiles explained how the
CEO sets the tone for the whole
company, which is why Guiles
makes it a priority to treat all
employees with mutual respect
and dignity, allowing free collaboration and communication
needed to solve problems. "The
single most important thing" a
manger can do, he said, was to
"pick people you can trust and
then delegate." In this way, companies are able to accomplish 16
hours worth of work in eight to
ten hours a day.
A CEO must be able to communicate to groups of people, he
said, broaden their education as
much as possible, develop a passion for what they do, and test it
when possible. He urges students
to be optimistic in the future and
their role in it, and to be able to
back up and take another forward direction, if they fall into
a rut.
The largest operating chal-
lenge Guiles has encountered
has been the challenge to build
the infrastructure to distribute
energy for the future and finding the capital to do it without
raising energy rates. If the distribution infrastructure is not
built, then all of the new energy
sources currently in the planning stages, like solar energy,
wind energy, liquefied natural
gas imported from other states
and our nearby neighbors, will
not be transportable. New lines
of transport must be built, he
says, or he foresees availability
problems around 2008-2009.
Not all of Guiles' emphasis
was on his profession, however.
He also stressed that people
must stay in balance or pay the
price. He encourages employees
to give back to their community by volunteering their time
and money. He also believes in
investing in the employee, even
offering scholarships for further
education, as well as specific
training.
Guiles wants SDG&E to be a
place where people are assured
of a good job, where hard work
is appreciated and rewarded,
where how things get done is as
important as good results.
Yet, most importantly, Guiles
strives to create a company
where employees are able to,
"have fun, make money, and be
proud of what they do."

members.
Faculty members' hours are
determined by the WTUs that
are sent to the Chancellors' office
in Long Beach. The WTUs are
separated into two categories, D
for direct time, including time in
class and class related work, and
I for indirect time spent working
on tenure track requirements or
committee issues.
In 1994, an agreement was met
to add one unit to each class for
the extra work for the instructor
based on the writing requirement. If an instructor teaches
three classes of three units each,
he or she would acquire 12
WTUs.
"It began when the founding faculty devised the writing
requirement. The idea of making
each and every course one in
which students could improve
their writing skills was one of
the ways CSUSM's curriculum
would be special," according to
a handout from the meeting.
In 1996, however, it was discovered that adjunct "received
three D-WTUs for a three-unit
course (and a full time load for
an adjunct faculty member was
defined as teaching five-course
- 15 units)," stated the handout.
Since the school was open for
a lawsuit as a result of the disparity, the reported WTUs began
to reduce, making it appear as if
the faculty did not have the same
work load as their peers in the
Cal State system.
"We generate more hours than
our peers," stated George Diehr,
former CFA president and
CoBA representative for Cal
State San Marcos.
"This is not policy, but actually guidelines," stated Robert
Sheath, Cal State San Marcos
provost, who went on to say
"this is a pilot process; we are
trying to work out the bugs,"
in response to questions about
the reporting of WTUs.
"We are here today to
demand that the guidelines be
revoked," said David Avalos,
CFA faculty rights representative.
Other concerns of the CFA
panel and faculty members
in the audience included
class size and how the WTUs
would affect the tenure track
requirements.
"I see this as accountability,
we need to agree about measurements," stated University
President Karen Haynes. "It's
about time this campus got
beyond workload."
The administration stated
they will take the grievance into consideration and
respond to the CFA chapter at

representation. "It's about creating and protecting a fair and open
campus environment which welcomes and supports the diversity
of people and ideas."
Recognizing that each element
is vital for generating a strong
legacy, President Haynes believes
that the future of the campus
depends on the students.
"We believe that our most
important legacy will be the students themselves," said Haynes.
"Our legacy of leadership mandates that we prepare our students. We understand that our
legacy is not something that is

�Cougar life: Black History Month Buffet
BY ZACHARY J SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
On Friday, Feb. 3, CSUSM
hosted its annual brunch to celebrate African American Heritage
month. With a buffet provided by
Café Catering, a live acappella of
the black national anthem, and a
presentation by one of LA county's eminent motivational speakers, the event drew students and
staff alike. The delicious smells
and joyful sounds pouring out of
the Clark Field House even lured
in a few who had only hoped to
get a workout that day.
Attending the sign-in board
outside was Jen Kidder, director
of Campus Speakers for the ASI
programming board. Blonde hair
and blue eyes certainly didn't
lessen her enthusiasm as she welcomed in people from every conceivable ethnic and cultural back-

ground. This was her third year
with the event, and she seemed
anything but drained by the task,
saying that "as long as they're
available, getting a speaker at
CSUSM isn't difficult."
As for the speaker himself,
having never appeared at this
particular event before, returning
attendants were sure to be curious. Ms. Kidder explained how
they made the choice "after reading through his impressive personal and professional biography"
but encouraged me to speak with
him myself as he mingled casually with the other early arrivals.
With so many students perpetuating the complaint that there
is no campus life at CSUSM, it
begs the question whether putting on an event, even a relatively
small one, asks too much of time
and space. Diana Wong, however, stated that "attendance is
more of a challenge than reserving the space." As the director of
cultural programming for ASI,
she regarded her task as neither futile, nor redundant. "After
taking a Race and Ethnic Studies
class with professor Sharon Elise,
I saw an application for cultural
programmer and I thought about
how I'd noticed that the campus
wasn't as diverse as it used to be,"
reflecting also that "these events
help people who aren't aware of
cultural diversity, but they also
help those who want to get more
involved."
Of course, everyone attending agreed that it was hard to get
involved on an empty stomach.
The buffet was unfurled precisely at 10 a.m., lining people up
for a seemingly endless supply
of favored breakfast proteins
along with a generous supply of
fruit and baked goods. Standouts
included what were described
as 'cheesy potatoes', tasting
more fresh-baked than assembly
fried. Biscuits disappeared first
from the trays, then under eager
helpings of gravy. Though this
reporter never cared for gravy in
the morning, it made the 'grits', a
previous mystery, taste like one
part mashed potatoes, two parts
cream of wheat, and a slice of
humble heaven. Furthermore, it
managed to satisfy even this perpetually starving belly well into
the afternoon.
Café Catering, owned and operated by CSUSM alumni Mark
DuBois, has handled more than
2000 cougar events in at least
seven years, and it's inconceivable that he won't be invited back
again.
At 10:30, everyone rose to
Ruby Udeh's solo performance of
the Black National Anthem, filling each heart in the small room
as well as any stadium spectacle.
Some sung quietly along, but
even had more people been familiar with the words, it's likely they
would have remained in silent
awe of the performance.
The speaker, Jahi Kweli, a Job
Searcy specialist for LA County,
followed with a warm and casual
retrospective of great inventions
by African Americans and a
story about a short teenager, cut
from his varsity team, named
Michael Jordan. He continued
on to involve the audience with
visual exercises emphasizing the
importance of pursuing one's natural talent. Attendants, returning
for seconds and thirds, smiled
back at him over their shoulders
as nerf balls flew about and two
attendants nearly collided in a
dash for cash.
Diana Wong, who in her own
speech explained the togetherness represented by the beautifully intertwined centerpieces,
had mentioned earlier that "food
does help draw people . .. but
sometimes I wish they'd stick
around longer. We definitely don't
want food to be seen as the event
itself."
Associate director of SLL,
Gezai Berhane, recalling at least
six years of this event, agreed;
"ASI does a great job every year.
It usually follows the same format,
but the overall thought behind the
event is what matters to me."
As the crowd dissipated back to
their classes, or to fill the carryout boxes brilliantly supplied
by Café Catering, the speaker
remained as approachable as
anyone, if a bit more smartly
dressed. "I really like speaking
to students, knowing that they're
going to be our future leaders,"
said Kweli. Although this was his
first time at CSUSM, he has a lot
of experience with colleges and
non-profits in southern California, and expressed how he'd "like
to see more events like this, with
a more mixed format and casual

atmosphere."
To anyone still nervous about
the idea of attending an ethnic
or cultural event, Ms. Wong
almost laughed at the idea, saying
"These events have never to my
knowledge had any kind of tension or conflict. People always
leave happy and full™
Junior, Geoff Wilton, who was
on his way to the gym and not
expecting an event, can attest to
that. "I was pleasantly surprised.
I enjoyed it and I was moved by
Jahi and his speaking."
February finds a long list of
CSUSM events to honor Black
History Month, and students are
encouraged to check with both
the Pride and ASI to make sure
they don't miss yet another truly
fulfilling experience.

sake of educating and protecting ourselves,
The majority of tests are anonymous, is a measure of how responsible we are.
BY ANTIONETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
I made the choice to get tested with the
notion that I owed it to myself and my significant other to act responsibly.
Student Health and Counseling Services
offers free HIV testing for students on the
first Wednesday of every month. All tests
are administered without appointments on
a first come first serve basis, and all results
remain confidential. Upon entering the SHS
office, patients are advised to sign in under
a name other than their own to encourage
anonymity. Even after patients are admitted
to the testing room, they are never required
to state their name, address, social security
number, or student identification number.
The only real identifier for SHS staff is a
patient's date of birth.
SHS utilizes a rapid test system that analyzes a swab sample taken from the mouth.
Test results are ready in 20 minutes using
this method, and testing negative under
this method requires no further tests. Other
test forms include conventional blood tests,
oral fluid tests, urine tests, and home tests.
Conventional blood tests require a sample
of blood be drawn by a health care provider for testing in a lab. Results from these
tests are available within two weeks. Oral
fluid tests are similar to rapid tests in that
swabs of the inside jof the mouth are used,
but these samples are then tested at a lab
and results can take anywhere from a few
days to two weeks. Urine tests are similar
to conventional blood tests, in that urine
samples are taken by health care providers
and results are made available within a few
days to two weeks. Home tests are sold at
most drugstores, where the patient pricks
a finger with a special device and places
blood drops onto a specially-treated card
that is mailed to a lab for testing. Patients
can call for their results using an identification number that comes with the home
kit for anonymous access. All HIV tests,
excluding the conventional blood test, are
FDA approved.
Though the selling point of the rapid test
is that results can be provided with little time
and effort, the 20 minute wait felt like an
homvln that time, I evaluated how I would
walk away with results positive or negative. It would be my responsibility to alert
my current partner and those before him of
my status if positive, but I could walk away
with a sigh of relief if negative. In essence,
my life would change with a result of positive, but my life would stay the same with a
result of negative. Or so I thought. My life
did not simply snap back to the way it was
one hour prior to my test.
Many patients need counseling after HIV
testing, even with a 'negative' result, and
SHS also offers these services to students
free of charge. The office also displays multiple pamphlets on HIV and AIDS as well
as other STDs, which patients can take with
them to further educate themselves on the
diseases and their implications. With all of
its available resources, the staff at Student
Health and Counseling Services encourages students to take advantage of medical services and testing opportunities. For

�Bacteria outbreak at CASH CORNER: National Debt
Kellooo Library
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
Those who happen to walk
into the third floor of the Kellogg
Library this week are advised
not to panic. There will appear
to be an outbreak of giant strains
of fungus and bacteria, yet this
is only the latest art exhibit to
be displayed on the typically
pristine walls of the Kellogg
Library.
And the mastermind behind
this integration of art and science?
Lovefy New Zealand native,
Joyce Campbell, grew up on the
island, surrounded by a family
made up of artists, biologists,
and other scientists. This might
well explain her creative view
into the world of bacteria and
fungi.
The exhibition she brings is a
collection of her photographic
works taken over the past six
years. Campbell plans on taking
this opportunity to explore the
correlation of her separate works
over a period of time. One of
her favorite pieces of this exhibition is titled "subtilis". The
open stairwell in the library will
enable the 70 foot tall, 66 foot
wide photograph to be displayed
for art lovers and science buffs
alike. "The stairwell allows
people to see the work from
many different perspectives
and to explore it top to bottom,"
explains Campbell.
In order to capture these
intriguing masterpieces, Joyce
creates photograms by transferring images onto positive photographic paper. These beautifully
detailed pictures contain colonies of bacteria and fungi suspended in a gelatinous medium.
Though some may consider this
to be more of a flashback to
their fourth grade science project, Campbell sees it differently.
" I'm using photography to still
dynamic systems, I'm inviting
you to look more closely, and
to immerse yourselves within
images of structures in the process of becoming."
There is a thin line drawn
between art and science in Joyce
Campbell's exhibit of "Growth
and Change". If students would
like to interpret these massive
forms for themselves, they need
only visit the third floor of the
Kellogg Library before the end
of May, or contact the library at

Special to The Pride
HEY YOU ... YEAH YOU
... you owe me $27,000 and I
am going to collect soon! By the
way, if you see your mom, dad,
sister, brother, or infant niece,
tell them they owe me $27,000
too. And tell them Uncle Sam
said so!
'What the heck is this guy
talking about?'
Let me enlighten you. I'm a
finance-major and one of my
required classes (FIN 321) is
only offered by one professor,
Dr. Steve Zera. The other day
he brought up an issue in class
relevant to everyone in this
country and, obviously, all of us
here on campus. This being our
National Debt, which is going up
faster t han... w ell... faster than
tuition increases, or maybe even
faster then our textbook publishers can put out a new edition of
the same book (okay, maybe not
that fast). Last semester the debt
per person in this country, and
that literally means everyone
from day old newborns to senior
citizens, was about $26,000,
give or take a hundred bucks.
This semester that per person
debt is exceeding $27,000.
'That's not my debt, that's the
government's debt.'
Well who do you think pays
their bills?
Right, taxpayers like you
and me, taxpayers who have an
income and pay an income tax.
Taxpayers who, like us college
students, will probably be working for the next 20 to 30 years
(maybe more) are going to bear
the brunt of this debt; unless* of
course, we want to do like our
parents did and pass it on to
our kids. Understand that when
all these baby-boomers start
to retire, the first of which are
doing so this year, they will no
longer have an income to tax
and the burden will fall to our
shoulders. The sad thing is that
I don't think my parents even
knew what was going on. Reaganomics hit and left us with an
amazing debt of 2 trillion dollars. When Clinton came into
office in 1992 our debt loomed
at $4 trillion. When Bush came
into office in 2000 our debt was
about $5.67 trillion.
As of January 24, 2006,
our
national
debt
was
$8,185,315,076,347.87. That's to
the penny, folks. Wanna know
something even scarier? The
day before, that debt was about
$10 billion less. Overnight we
racked up $10 billion dollars!
Are you scared yet? Let's get a
little more technical. According to government record, our
population here in the United
States is. If you divide our debt
by our population then our
"per person" debt is exactly
$27,677.95. So pay up! Oh wait
. .. you're probably in debt too!
Isn't this exciting! I'm bringing
this up for two reasons. One is
just to promote awareness of a
serious crisis coming up on the
horizon, but the other is that
we have an especially unique
opportunity coming up on the
23 of March. When Randy
"Duke" Cunningham resigned
from our congressional district's seat in the House of Representatives, a lot of people
thought to themselves, 'I want
that job.' Those same people are
coming here to this campus on
March 23,2006 and are going to
field questions. Let's make this
an issue that gets heard. So, on
that day, I'm going to be sitting
in that audience and I hope you
will be too! Let our potential
representative know that this
is important. I don't want my
future children, grandchildren,
or great grandchildren to be
left facing this crisis. Check the
debt out for yourself at http://

23,2006!

�On Campus: Career Center
Special service helps students reach goals
BY NATASHA HECKENDORN
Pride Staff Writer
It's no secret that many college
students still don't know what
they want to pursue after graduation. Some aren't even sure of
their major. For anyone at Cal
State San Marcos whose stomach
tightens at the idea of picking a
future path, one office will seem
like a godsend. Located in 4201,
Craven Hall, the Career Center
is dedicated to helping students
help themselves by offering such
services as resume critiques,
mock interviews, and an open
lab containing most everything
a prospective employee could
need. No matter what stage of the
job search they're in, the Career
Center can help them achieve
their goals.
"We're not experts in everything, but we know where to find
information," said Pamela Wells,
the Center's associate director.
Connecting students to the
community is a big part of what
they do. Events like the Resume
Blitz, which will take place Mar.
2, allow students to submit their
resumes to actual employers and
get feedback, occasionally
resulting in a job or internship
offer.
The Career Center also has
connections with many San
Diego companies and can help
students get their foot in the
door.
"It's surprising," Wells
reflected during their open
house, "how many students
don't know we exist." It's likely
that more students would take
advantage of the services if
they knew how much career
counseling can cost after graduation.
The career center doesn't
charge for any service, except
$3 discs if you want to record
your mock interview, because
part of every student's tuition
goes to the career center, not
just the students who utilize it.
Therefore, those who think they
might need even a little help in
choosing a career, preparing for
that career, or getting started
in their field of choice, should
stop by the career center. More

Coming to CSIISM: Psychology fair
Students share research results with campus
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
The 13th annual Psychology Student Research Fair will
take place on Friday, April 7th.
Learn more about the field of
psychology through presentations by CSUSM psychology
students, guest lecturers and
renowned professionals.
The Psychology Student
Research Fair is an opportunity for psychology students
to share their research findings
and ideas with fellow students
and faculty. Most presentations
are based on projects conducted
in their research methods/independent study courses. The allday event will consist of various activities such as a career
panel of psychologists, student
research posters, lectures and
job/graduate school information.
The Psychology Student
Fair has a "strong emphasis
on research," says Dr. Gina
Grimshaw, CSUSM psychology professor and faculty advisor for the event. Nonetheless,
it still has a reputation as a fun,
educational and exciting venue
where many different people
converge to learn more about
psychology.
Modeled after a professional
conference, the fair gives students valued experience in presenting their work to their peers.
Their scholarly research helps
advance the field of psychology
by presenting new ideas and findings.
Off-campus and international
guests are also welcome. In
previous years, the Psychology
Student Research Fair has had
guests ranging from UCLA and
USD to university students from
Mexico.
Students'
abstracts have
already been collected, and planning the exact schedule for the fair
is currently under way. Similar to
years past, presentations will take
place in various locations around
campus, such as Founders Plaza,
Commons 206, and lecture halls
in the Arts building. On the day
of the fair, signs will be posted
and programs will be handed
out to guide guests through the
events and presentations.
While exact times will be
announced soon, expect the fair
to take place between 8am and
4pm.
What makes this year different is keynote speaker t)r. Diane
Halpern, Professor of Psychology at
Claremont McKenna College
and recognized expert on cognitive psychology, gender studies
and critical thinking. She will
give an intriguing lecture on a
controversial topic: "Sex Differences in Cognitive Abilities:
What if Lawrence Summers is
Right?"
Dr. Halpern has attracted
attention nationally and internationally through her research in
gender and education. As current department chair at CMC
and 2004 American Psychology
Association president, Dr. Halpern's insights into cognitive abilities between the sexes will no
doubt arouse student interests in
psychology and draw more participants to the fair.
As the upcoming Psychology
Student Research Fair is such an
elaborate and highly-anticipated
event, it might be surprising to
discover that it is almost entirely
student-run. A committee of
about 20 students coordinate,
plan and organize the research
fair to showcase student projects and provide their peers with
access to professionals in the
psychology field.

fair, contact Dr. Grimshaw:

What I find most hilarious
about this event is the criticism that Kobe has received.
Why can't people just enjoy
something so amazing? Is it
because he has a few indiscretions in his past? How many
of us would be screwed if our
whole life was judged on our
most embarrassing moments?
In my opinion, his 81 points
was the greatest individual performance in NBA history and
people are fixating on his past.
So many things have to be
going in your favor to do what
he did.
You need to have teammates
who want to pass you the ball.
You need to be facing a bad
team. You need to be on a bad
team. You need to have a close
game so the coach doesn't pull
you out after you gain a big lead.
You need to hit a ton of threes
while still being able to shoot
some free throws. You also
need to play 48-minutes and
take close to 60-shots (Kobe
didn't do either) and most of
all, you need to really be in the
zone because the opponent is
going to double team you once
you reach 60-points.
Now back to it being the
single greatest performance in
NBA history. I think what he
did was much more impressive

than what Chamberlain did.
Chamberlain was the tallest
person in the league when he
played. There was no one that
could defend him. All Chamberlain needed to do when
he played was park under the
basket and lift his hand up to
put the ball in the bucket.
The league had a different
style to the game in Chamberlain's era. Teams nearly always
scored over 100 points in a
game whereas now some teams
have trouble scoring over 80
points. The NBA also didn't
use zone defenses which are
built to stop scorers and slow
down the game.
Kobe's MVP resume is much
more impressive now because
of 81 and if the Lakers make the
playoffs, I think Kobe will win
the award. Just last season he
was being booed in the majority of the arenas around the
league. 81 created an upswing
for Kobe. Consider that NBA
cities outside of Los Angeles
have actually been chanting
"MVP" during some of his
performances post-81.
Too bad the rest of us can't
get 81 to make our past indiscretions go away. Points that
is.

using my legs as transportation; I was chauffeured.
But what I thought was a
sweet deal soon turned very
sour.
When I first got on the
shuttle there were many seats
available. Foolishly, I did not
anticipate any delays in getting to my class. Several
students walked passed the
shuttle, graciously declining
the driver's invitation to give
them a lift. Fools, I thought,
they don't know what they're
missing.
No less than two seconds
later the shuttle was bombarded by my lazy colleagues.
Like the last life boat on
the Titanic, the shuttle was
swamped with students and
packed perilously full.
And yet the driver (bless his
heart) continued scouting for
more bodies.
Up and down the rows we
rode, picking up more students
along the way. My heart was
racing. How long have I been
in here, I wondered to myself.
Ten? Fifteen minutes? I have
to get to class pronto.
But there was no way out.
The shuttle was completely
packed. Elbows and backpacks jabbed me. My fellow
passengers were squeezed like

Parking Lot X (or what I
affectionately call the TireEating, Dust-Blowing, DirtLot) is not my friend. We have
been enemies ever since it was
inevitably constructed.
A couple of days ago, I
experienced one of the most
seemingly uninteresting yet
poignant events in my college
career. Instead of embarking on my usual (sometimes
excruciating) hike from the
dirt lot to my classroom, I
took the shuttle.
Ever since my freshman
year I can remember seeing
a little white van-bus thing
driving around campus with
the words "Coach USA" patriotically plastered on its side.
I also remember wondering
where the heck it came from
and where was it going.
It seems as if fate brought us
together, the van-bus and I.
As I locked my car and
turned up to begin my trek,
two plastic doors of the shuttle opened up before me. They
were like golden gates to a
castle. I was like a guppy,
drawn to the lure of an angler
fish. The gods have finally
smiled upon me! No more
walking in dirt for this girl.
No more relegating myself to

the driver said with the halfhearted apology, "see how
long it took me to load up?"
Too little, too late, bud.
I'm going to be late to class
because of this shuttle ride
and it's all your fault! I am
definitely writing to my congressman about this.
To add insult to injury, the
driver catches every red light,
prolonging my anxiety even
more. The girl sitting next to
me looks indifferent, the word
"whatever" molded into her
face. She must be a regular.
I see the giant staircase by
Craven Hall looming in the
distance. The shuttle finally
slows to a stop and the passengers spill out of the shuttle,
stampeding to class.
Well, Lora, you survived
this one.
I appreciate the service provided by the shuttle and its
driver, but I think I'll stick to
my traditional way of transportation: walking. I have
learned from this experience
that perceived convenience
does not always bring the
results I plan for. Pace yourselves. Realize there is no
'easy' button. As college students, we should apply this
concept to every aspect of our
lives. It's like the wise man
said, "if you're running late,
don't take the bus."

CSUSM is still largely considered a commuter campus and as
such the campus receives students
from all over southern California.
You may be able to figure out what
cities or counties students are from
by their clothing, but the main
giveaway comes from their choice
of words in a casual conversation.
According to the MerriamWebster web site http://www.mw.com/dictionary/slang, slang is
"language peculiar to a particular
group." Due to its lack of formality, slang may not be accepted in
environments that require professionalism, but when the environment is more comfortable and
relaxed, slang seeps into the conversation. It helps individuals identify with each other when there
may be no connection elsewhere.
Certain slang words can identify
where an individual is from. San
Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco have their own unique slang.
Some commonly used slang used
to describe something as nice are,
"tight," "sweet," "gansta," "dope,"
"pimp," and "game." San Diego
locals would say something nice is
"sick" or "off the hook." Los Angeles locals would say it's "ill" or "off
the chain", and San Francisco locals
would say it's "hyphy". Instead of
saying "really" to add emphasis
to a word, San Diego locals say
"hella" and San Francisco locals
say "hecka". Commonly used slang
to say you are going to leave a location are, "jet," "split," "bounce,"
"roll out," "bone out," "shake the
spot," and "cruise." Slang used to

early one morning in January, looking for

clothing items) at a hotel party a couple nights
before on New Years ... but that's another
story. Back to the phone call, so there I was
looking for socks when my phone rang, and

Some slang used to describe
an altered state of mind induced
by alcohol or an illegal substance
are "lit," "loaded," "buzzed," and
"faded." Car is replaced by "ride."
Instead of shoes they're "kicks"
and instead of a hat it's a "lid."
"Threads" or "gear" are used in
place of clothes or outfit. Males
use "fine," "dime," "honey," and
"shorty" to describe attractive
females. Slang to describe the act
of showing something off is to
"rock," "sport," and "floss." To
describe someone deep in a romantic relationship "sprung" and "on
lock" are used. Someone trying
to flirt with another individual in
the hopes of getting his or her telephone number or "digits," is "spittin" or "trying to kick game." If
you like someone you're "jockin"
or "feelin" that person. If someone
is getting upset or angry "pump yo
breaks" and "slow yo roll" are used
to tell the person to calm down.
When you are spending time with
friends, usually at a small barbecue
or shindig, you're "kickin back" or
"chillin."
Some individuals may perceive
slang as representative of having
a limited vocabulary but it's the
opposite. The addition of slang to
a person's vocabulary increases the
amount of words he or she knows
and adds a conversational level the
individual can relate to others on.
Slang changes with each generation and latest trend. It may be hard
t a keep up with the latest lingo but
some slang words remain constant.
So stay up, peace, laters, I'm out.

if it's bad, even if it's that you hjate the paper
- tell me, because I'll try to solve the problem and do my best to address your issues.
Thus, until it's summer and I start actually
sleeping again (maybe), tell me what's on
your mind, what type of music you're listening to, what your favorite movie is, and what's
wrong and what's great with The Pride at

�The 'Hostel Underworld': four paws a piece, but worth the rating?
BY ZACHARY SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
"You just see these movies for
the sex and violence."
Sound familiar?
Well it should.
'Cause you do.
Don't feel bad on my account;
movies didn't begin earning puerile interest on yours. That we have
people who can't legally drink discussing the 'bygone days of Hollywood' falls further at the feet
of the critics than moviegoers. It
should come as common courtesy,
to say nothing of sense, that the
average person is interested more
in whether they'll see a picture
than whether I'll remember it. You
don't owe my taste a thing, thus
it's up to me to feed your curiosity,
or maybe burp your skepticism.
Shamelessly cringe at the
"Action" pack. Whither without shame at the prospect of
"Romance." The stereotypes surrounding these genres are disgustingly true, and nine times out of
ten you should be forced to grease
your popcorn with your own
gonads for supporting either one.
The results of Hate/Violence
and Love/Sex are too profound
and impacting to be dealt with
in anything but either the coldest realism or the highest fantasy,
hence the inspiration to juxtapose
"Hostel" to "Underworld: Evolution". It also seems important to
reach out to all those who would
'only' see these movies for the
same combo package, to warn
against pursuing hungers that
could leave them either malnourished, or perhaps bloated. There's
no shame in wanting more of what
you couldn't get once upon a time,
II
and none in preferring it now in
more refined quantities. (I've been
known to dine with tight ties as
well as loose belts)
"Underworld: Evolution" caught
my attention firstly because the
first film involved hyper-modern
vampiresfightingwerewolves and
yet it had NOT been a hopelessly
corny piece of schlock. The only
draw to overshadow this was the
'R' rating amid
so many shameless ploys to
exploit the average teenager's
underdeveloped
value of a filmmaker's
time
and their parent's money.
And yet, even
though I'd been
surprised into
satisfaction by
the
original,
I was still not
expecting much
from the sequel
as I've seen
too many CGIdriven movies
given a great
crew, but no
pilot.
There are a fair number of
overdone lines and performances
throughout, each flavoring the
incidents where any Yank could
have told them a simpler way to
solve, or even avoid the present
conflict.
Ah yes, leave it to the British to
cure ham where we would grind
beef.
On the whole, though, plot and
dialog remain solid . .. for a vampire flic. And what a blessing this
is, as it would have been a shame
revenge after "Underworld: Evolution", and it's worth noting that
our heroine is made neither weak
nor distant to satisfy any lingering
memories of when it was a man's
underworld.
This brings us down, deep dark
down, to "Hostel". Hear this,
brothers in horror: unless that special person in your life has a deep
love of tits and gore, and I mean
'tits and gore',
not
nudity
and violence,
I suggest you
not even mention this film.
In
recent
years there

expletives right out of you. We're
talking professional, hyper-stylized, exaggerated violence here.
Death involves blood and pain,
cold Will and unbridled Fury.
I raise my glass to its red moon.
As for the sex, however, our

heroine does engage in unholy
union. It was tantalizing, yet tasteful. There is only one other steam
scene, however, and it can hardly
be called either. It could have done
well as a more raw and carnal
contrast, but only if given a little
more time and creativity amid
the absurd notion that bloody
vampire threesomes will see you
taken more seriously if you keep
your top on. In this respect, however, the average girlfriend is far
less likely to demand chick-flic
technologies
(and apparently
unavailable script doctors) give
these films a kind of slapstick surrealism.
If anyone laughs at "Hostel," it
is clearly to suppress or otherwise
mask a more embarrassing reaction.
This latest work from the director of "Cabin Fever" is most certainly not a chance to convert the
squeamish. If anything, it may do
the opposite, as it removes any
notion of human cruelty as an
amusing catharsis with a frank
portrayal of those who would
treat it as precisely that. Everything about "Hostel" is disturbingly believable, even amid some
overtly mood-building dialogue
and convenient twists of plotted
fate. The characters are well delivered, and the violence, the charnel
house gore, is graphic enough to
make even Mel Gibson proud,
despite the considerable quantity
of hot naked chicks fornicating in
the first 30 minutes. The absence
of complex women does, however,
leave a sense that the filmmakers
worked in a frame of adolescent
isolation. Moviegoers with a clear
ear will also notice the disappointing transition in the soundtrack
from effectively eerie electronics
to base blockbuster bombast. To
"Hostel's" greatest credit though,
is the malleable final-lesson, forever dancing seamlessly between
"don't venture too far into the
forest" and "the worst of us is
within each of us".
Those with a bottomless appetite for the human abyss have an
A-moral obligation to see this
utterly essential contribution, but
the rest are best advised to get
their ultra-violent waves through
a more obviously fabricated filter.
Blood for blood, both "Underworld: Evolution" and "Hostel"
maintain a sharp seat-edge, and
are worth the theater experience
to those already inclined. While
the latter may have twice the wit,
it hasn't half the grace, and while
the former may not send you away
in contemplation, insight might
not justify the risk of nausea.
As to whether sex and violence
is ever 'just,' let the older generation decide, with entertainment
made explicitly and graphically
for them.

�How To ... Dress for Spring 2006
BY ANDREW RUISEÑOR
Pride Staff Writer
Men, it's time to drop the collars on
your polos and listen up, spring fashion is out and it's time let go and move
on. This season is all about being a
70's rock icon to an 80's punk god to
the yuppies you were raised by, but
before we go into that let's step back.
First and foremost, get denim
that fits you. For example, low rise
~ not ok (enough with the boxers
out already). Your jeans should be
higher on the waist, skinnier leg, and
a light fade is nothing to be afraid of.
If you're going to be wearing shorts
this spring, plaid below the knee or
destroyed denim shorts are a must to
pull off that yuppie/ punk appeal.
As far as dressing up is concerned,
black or cream pants contoured with
an opposite-colored belt says, "I am
dressed up, but still edgy and ready
for business."
For tops, it is all about being that
70's rock icon. Were talking the vintage rocker "T" shirt that looks beat
up and thrown on with your favorite
band's logo on your chest. Black, red,
cream, blue, and other colors are ok;
it's spring so feel free to be adventurous. Yeah, there might be some
bleach on it and maybe it's a little
tight but go with it, after all, you don't
care, you're a rock star.
Also, men, ditch the sleeves this
spring and show of your guns, big or
small, and finally rid those tan lines
once and for all.
But if you're not so much a rock
star or a punk prince, feel free to go
with floral prints (please just stay
away from the Hibiscus). A nice
button up with some floral print is
just the thing. Not to mention, white
fitted jackets are huge this spring, so
the lining can also have some flavor
with floral.
As far as jackets are concerned,
sport coats for dinner and jeans
should stick to one button, unless
you are getting a suit, then it is about
fitted double breasted jackets. Not to
be confused with the double breasted
jacket you borrowed from your dad
for homecoming that was also double
the size. Make these jackets and coats
yours, so put a couple of pins on them
to make them edgier then the normal
formal.
Be you, and be the guy others want
to emulate.
Now we're getting into accessories.
If you want to catch those over critical
eyes, why not try a leather wristband,
or some dog tags. If all else fails, just
have some cool sneakers on, or boots
that can kick your best buddy's butt.
Men's spring fashion is about being
brash and out of control. Be loud, be
risky, be you. Modify what you have
read and make some of it fit.
Beoroftheweek:
Capistrano Honey Ale
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
In today's world, where television advertisements for beer are
dominated by brands like Coors,
Miller, and Budweiser, it's unfortunate that many beers on the
opposite end of the spectrum get
very little attention - especially
when they are really good beers.
Micro-brewery beers are one
such type of beer, and one very
good one is the Capistrano Brewing Co.'s Honey Pale Ale.
One of three beers put forth
by this small micro-brewery
based locally in southern Orange
County, Honey Pale Ale has all
the qualities that many mainstream beers are missing. With
its golden hue, mild hops, and
slightly sweet honey flavor, the
Pale Ale is a delightful beer, not
too strong, like some darker
beers, yet lacking in neither
flavor nor texture, given its light
color. A slice of lemon added to
a cold glass of the Pale Ale also
serves to mask any bitterness,
and actually strengthens the flavors produced by the honey and
citrus used.
The Capistrano Brewing Co.
takes its name and logo from the
old Spanish mission in historic
San Juan Capistrano, where
swallows still come to nest each
year. Artwork associated with
the Capistrano Brewing Co.
features scenes from the mission and the swallow as chief
motifs, along with the phrase
"Follow the Swallow," on all its
products. While the Capistrano
Brewing Co. has yet to establish
a home brewery in San Juan
Capistrano, many local bars
in Orange County,
such as Boosters
and the Capistrano
Wine Bar, as well as
some in San Diego
County, carry the
Honey Pale Ale on
tap. Honey Pale Ale
is definitely one
regional beer that is
worth following the
swallow for.

Ale and the Capistrano Brewing Co.,

Spring is right around the
corner and all the top designers are coming out with their
latest collections for spring
2006.
Ladies, that means it's
time to get into those closets and clear out the old and
make room for the new. In
order to have the hottest
looks, here are ten trends to
be aware of this season.
With warmer weather and
days by the beach, spring
collections are bringing in
the nautical look with blue
and white sailor stripes and,
for extra flare, brass buttons,
which are great for a day by
the sea or j ust to add a little
whimsy to your look.
Another tendency when
the weather t urns warm is to
shed those winter coasts and
show a little more. Needless
to say, skin is in this season
. .. or at least the appearance of skin with colors
like beige, white, cream and
nude. You'll be giving the
illusion of sexy flesh while
still being covered up.
Keeping to the theme of
skin, Bermuda shorts, which
cut off at the knee, are out,
and short shorts are in. Don't
be a fraid to show some leg!
If you're looking for a
more conservative look to
cover those cute behinds, go
with extremely slender, perfectly tailored pants that cut
off j ust above the ankle.
As f ar as waistlines go,
pants and shorts that bunch
up at the top, otherwise
known as the paper bag
waist, or fold over at the top,
are popular this season.
For an ultra-girly-girl look,
sixty-style baby doll dresses
are making a comeback
in many prints and styles.
Bold prints such as A frican motifs, giant geometric
shapes and j umbo blossoms
give a dramatic statement
to the baby doll dress. But
if sweet innocence is what
you are looking for, then
baby doll dresses made with
delicate laces, flowing white
eyelet and embroidered
designs are a p erfect fit.
Now for the f un part that
we all love, accessories.
Thick belts are wrapping
their way around our hearts
and our waists this season.
Worn high around the midsection, not the hips, they
give the waist a cinched
in look which makes this
accessory a must have.
P urses are going extreme
in spring. Having an exciting night on the town? Go
with a petite p urse j ust big
enough to hold the essentials like lipstick, cash, cell
phone and identification
card. For a great day-time
look, go with an extra large
purse, but unlike last season
when purses were really big
with crazy colors and prints,
this season is about clean
lines and geometric shapes
which play into the sixties chic rather than sixties
hippy.
Finally, the shoes. Spring
2006 is all about high
wedges and chunky heel
platforms. The style of the
shoes encompasses this season's mix of sleek and bold
in one simple accessory.
With all these tips, you'll
look like you j ust f reshly
stepped off the runway
by getting a head start on
the hottest fashion trends.
Spring 2006 is all about
having f un and showing off
those sexy assets that make
you a fabulous female.
Rockin' at the House of Blues
BY KANONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
With banging beats, live
entertainment, good food and
freebies, "House of Blues San
Diego" (1055 Fifth Ave., San
Diego 92101) is sure to be a
hot spot for party-goers 21 and
over.
On the night I visited House
of Blues, Feb. 1, west coast
rapper/producer, DJ QUIK was
performing his greatest hits
backed by his live band, "The
Formula" in the music hall of
House of Blues. The hip hop
duo, DUEX PROCESS was the
opening act for QUIK, Tickets
were sold at $27.
House of Blues,fairly new to
San Diego, having opened its
doors in May 2005, is located
in downtown San Diego (partygoers' paradise). House of Blues
attracts a highly diverse crowd,
reflecting the different faces of
San Diego County.
The age range, on this particular night, was very broad,
ranging from 21 to about midthirties (or higher). While in
line to enter the House of Blues,
guests were asked to sign up for
the House of Blues mailing list
and, as a token of their gratitude
(or method of promotion), every
lady who signed up received
two free passes to Club Hustle's
College Night, located in House
of Blues' Salvation Alley.
College Night is every Friday
and is well on its way to becom-
ing "the hottest Friday night dance
club in San Diego." I recommend
all the party-goers (21 and up)
here at CSUSM go check out College Night at the House of Blues
and represent the Cougars, and
show San Diego that the Aztecs
are not the only ones that know
how to party.
Clubbin' is not the only thing
House of Blues has to offer, if you
enjoy southern-inspired cuisine,
House of Blues has an experience
waiting for you. The kitchen is
open daily 11:30 a.m. 'til last call
(midnight).
House of Blues also offers daily
entertainment, from music to
comedy shows and performances.
DJ QUIK was one of many performers coming to the House of
Blues this month. Jr. Vasquez
(dance) will be there Feb. 5, Rick
Ortiz presents: Noches Rockeras
(Latin) on Feb. 8, Social Distortion (rock) on Feb. 20 and Tommy
the Clown (comedy) on Feb. 26.
Tickets for these events and many
others can be purchased at the box
office (619) 299-BLUE or through
Ticketmaster (619) 220-tixs.
The atmosphere is fabulous at
the House of Blues. It is large in
size, allowing enough room for a
very large crowd without having
to be packed like Sardines. It has
beautifully decorated walls, featuring modern colors, hanging
paintings and other interesting art
works.
One of the best features of the
House of Blues is its booming
sound system. The sound system
features equipment from Telex
Pro Audio brands EV, Midas and
Klark Teknik. The bass flows
through your chest; it sounds and
feels really great!
The restrooms are well kept,
which was impressive to me,
because I've seen many neglected
restrooms in different nightclubs.
The women's restroom was clean
with a fresh scent, there were
ample mirrors and gorgeous light
fixtures. There was also a restroom attendant handing out paper
towels, mints and body spray for
tips. There's an ATM machine
near the bar, for those who do not
carry much cash.
I really got my money's worth
and then some when I think of
the whole night. DJ QUIK, who
is "blowing his mid-thirties," put
on a great show. He poured wine
in glasses of those audience members who were lucky enough to be
close to the stage. Later, he gave
the whole audience a champagne
shower; he shook up a bottle of
bubbly and popped the top, allowing the tasty, yet very wet, contents to rain down on the audience.
Before QUIK came on stage, the
House of Blues DJ was giving
out freebies to the livest audience
members. I was live enough to snag
two of six tickets to the Tommy
the Clown comedy act scheduled
for later this month. Other freebies
included House of Blues T-Shirts
and tickets to other events.
The house special for the night
was $5 Heinekens, which was my
drink of choice for the evening. I
totally had a great time and would
recommend the House of Blues to
anyone looking for a good time.

the main entrance to the faculty/
staff parking lot, in response to
increased vehicle and pedestrian
traffic traveling through Lot E to

With the addition of Lot H,
more traffic has been speeding
through Lot E in hopes of snagging a close parking spot in Lot
H, located between the Foundation Classroom Building and
MarksteinHall.
Originally, no signs were
posted and no measures were
taken to reduce speed or alert
drivers to be cautious while traveling through these lots. However,
with increased driving speeds,

Graduate student offered screening of the Invisible
Children documentary and inspires some students
BY RACHEL WANN
Pride Staff Writer
A public screening of the nationallyrenowned documentary, Invisible Children, captured the attention of many Cal
State San Marcos students, exposing the
true, untold stories of Northern Ugandan
children escaping the horrific reality of
war.
Invisible Children, documented by
three young filmmakers: Jason Russell,
Laren Poole and Bobby Bailey, exposes
the horrific consequences of a 20-year
civil war in Uganda and discovers how
the war has left much of the nation's population displaced, with children seeking
refuge to avoid being kidnapped by the
rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army, LRA.
"They didn't know what they would
find," said Alisa Wells, sociology gradu-
and taken into the 'bush' where they
are instantly desensitized to pain,
blood and killing. Young enough to
carry a gun and ideal for brainwashing, approximately 50,000 children
have been abducted by the LRA. Yet
despite the startling numbers, prior
to the documentary, this tragedy was
getting no international attention.
The documentary has since
expanded to a non-profit organization, with a mission to educate the
public, empower viewers, and provide over 20 million dollars in aid for
these Invisible Children. "Our dream
is to inspire the young and young
at heart, to challenge their thinking, and empower them to 'be the
change they wish to see in the world'
ate at CSUSM and presenter of the film
screening. The young men inadvertently
stumbled upon a civil war in Uganda
containing horrors that proved to be so
disgustingly astonishing it would be difficult for the rest of the world to comprehend, added Wells.
^ -Each night, thousands of children flee
from their homes to sleep in bus depots
and under hospital verandas out of fear
that they will be captured by the LRA
and forced into becoming child soldiers.
These children, aged anywhere from five
to 12 years old, leave their homes before
dusk to sleep, in what they consider to
be safer locations, protected by only one
armed guard for the thousands of children.
The fear is real for these young children. Those that are unable to seek
refuge are often captured by the LRA

Today, there are about 40
people involved in the Chamber
Champions. Under the coordination of the champions, team volunteers attend chamber events
and participate on committees
and generally become active
members of the area chamber.
Chamber Champions and volunteers spend approximately three
to six hours a month attending city chamber meetings and
events
"Over time, we are going to
reach out to the Hispanic Chamber, Encinitas Chamber, and also
the Solana Beach Chamber," said
Dean Guseman.
According to Guseman, the
Chamber Champions program
is a very concentrated way to
reach over 200,000 people in the
community. With many people
involved in "Building Our
Legacy", students will have great
opportunities in the business
community. One such example
is the Senior Experience and
internship programs. Many of
these chambers offer scholarship
programs.
As a student, becoming familiar with your area's chamber
events is crucial. It is the goal of
this program to have the business
community hire graduates of its
community. By doing so, this
creates an identity for Cal State

Filipino Culture Night auditions
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
Kamalayan Alliance and ASI
prepare to host auditions for talented performers interested in
participating in "Cal State San
Marcos's first Filipino Culture
Night.
Auditions will take place Feb.
15, 16 and 17, from 2:30 to 3:30
p.m. in The Clark Field House
Conference Room 110. Applications are available at Commons
201 and Craven 4116. All talents
are welcome, ranging from dance,
music and song, to monologues,
skits and personal stories.
Performance pieces should
involve aspects of Filipino culture, such as history, religion,
interracial dating, and stereotypes, One does not have to
be Filipino to participate, and
anyone interested in performing
is encouraged to audition.
All talent levels are welcome,
ranging from amateur to professional. The judges will be critiquing auditions based on presentation, vocal projection and
energy on stage. Individuals
selected to perform in the Culture Night will be required to
participate in rehearsals that will
help refine their talents/strengths
and explore their performance
piece.
Prospective students do not
have to audition alone. Duets and
group skits are encouraged, as
well as solo acts.
Filipino Culture Night will be
structured like a variety show
with several different acts pieced
together. The audition judges
will be selecting enough performances to fill an hour and a half.
"It's a great learning experience going through a production," said Diana Wong, ASI
director of Cultural Programming and Kamalayan Alliance
treasurer. "You learn a lot about
yourself and others."
The focus of Filipino Culture
Night is to "break stereotypes
and to show that we have a very
diverse culture within the community," added Wong. It is an
opportunity for CSUSM student
voices to be heard. Also, the
event hopes to make others aware
how Filipinos have contributed to
history and social institutions.
According to Wong, attènding
Filipino Culture Night will allow
the audience to "see through the
eyes of Filipinos" and understand
that all racial groups struggle and
BARRICADE,frompage 1
explained that the reason the barricade was
implemented to slow down the speed of the
vehicles proceeding to the back lot. The
blocker is being used to channel people
into more turns in hopes of slowing them
down, added Miller.
"The barricade is strictly for safety, to
prevent accidents for vehicle-vehicle collisions and vehicle-pedestrian incidents,"
said Sergeant Dan Koehler. "Our mission at the University Police Department
is safety, and we prefer to head things off
before incidents happen."

through action," according to the organization's website.
Over 70 students congregated in Arts 240
to view the 90-minute screening of Invisible Children, followed by a question and
answer discussion.
Eileen Reyes, a senior at CSUSM,
described the film as "heart-wrenching,"
claiming that "it really makes you want to
actively put time and effort in to help these
children." Melissa Fanning, a freshman,
who had seen the documentary prior to the
campus-screening, was once again moved
by the film. "It was completely intense,"
she said, "and it made me want to do even
more."
Many students, clearly shaken by the
film, had questions as to how they could
help. As with many documentaries, Invisible Children was made for a clearly defined
purpose. Among their key aspirations, the
filmmakers of Invisible Children seek to
raise $20 million to provide relief and sponsor 100,000 children to attend school.
Wells offered additional ways to help
share commonalities.
Students interested in volunteering for stage crew and production design are encouraged
to fill out ah application and
should plan on attending the
auditions and get acquainted
with the event coordinators and
the performers.
Filipino Culture Night will
be held in The Clark Field
House in April. It is free to all
students and staff/Tentatively,

Kamalayan Alliance is a Filipino-American organization on
campus that focuses on inequality, social change, generational
gaps and Filipino identity. It is
non-exclusive and everyone is
welcome to join. Kamalayan
Alliance is working on becoming involved with other clubs
on campus. Currently, members meet bi-weekly in various
rooms around campus. A general board meeting will be held
on Feb. 22, from 2:30 to 3:30
p.m. in ACD 404.
For more information regarding the Filipino Culture Night
auditions or the Kamalayan
Alliance, contact Diana Wong
at 760-750-6012.
Drivers are encoilraged to follow the
25 mph speed limit on campus streets,
and the 10 mph speed limit in parking
lots. Drivers should not swerve or j.et
around the barricade, noted Koehler.
This lane is essentially a one-way lane
with the newly placed barricade in position. While the department does not plan
on writing citations to violators disregarding the one-way traffic, if a driver
were to get into an accident traveling
eastbound i n the lane, the driver would
be at fault for all collision damages,
mentioned Koehler.

In debt for HOW long?
A lecture on the historical link between
American debt and spending habits
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
Exposing the history of the
American debt, Phi Alpha Theta
will host an intriguing lecture
presented by respected Economic Historian, Danny Vickers, highlighting the nation's
tendencies to borrow money
and accrue debt.
In collaboration with the History Department, the History
Club, and the CSUSM Arts and
Lectures series, the History of
Debt lecture will be held on
Thursday, Feb. 16 at 4:00 p.m.
in University Hall, room 100.

assist in a better understanding
of financial options and being
debt-free.
"Professor Vickers will be
talking about the history of
debt and borrowing in America, going back to the colonial
period," expláined Dr. Anne
Lombard, assistant professor
of History. "He will argue that
Americans' fondness for bor-

the barricade is too big and awkward.
However, Miller reported that there have
rowing, which is not only a personal, but also a national issue for
us, is not new and that it is historically rooted in a particular set
of economic circumstances faced
by Americans."
"This lecture should be very
interesting, as it is a topic that
applies to almost everyone, not
only on campus but throughout
the world," said Stephanie Schott,
president of Phi Alpha Theta, a
national history honor society.
"Learning the roots of debt helps
create a better understanding and
can allow the individual to master
it in his or her own life."
"The event is a chance to
talk to an expert about a pressing national issue that most of
us don't really understand: what
difference the growing level
of borrowing in America, both
consumer and government borrowing, make to our economy,
our society, and our future," said
Lombard. "Professor Vickers'

would be otherwise unemployed if it were
not for the bracelet campaign assembled
by the Invisible Children team. Other
options to raise awareness include participation in the Global Night Commute,
a national event that will be held on April
29. The Global Night Commute is an
overnight sleepover in which participates
are encouraged to walk downtown and
sleep in the streets, just like the children
of Uganda.
The impact of the screening is one
that will last with students, according to
Valerie Taylor. CSUSM junior, Valerie
Taylor, plans on getting involved right

�On Campus: Soul Food Luncheon
BY JASON ROBBINS
Pride Staff Writer
Small crowds begin to spill
into The Clark Field House.
Some follow the scent of barbequed chicken; others follow
the loud hip-hop music that
hovers overhead.
"Got me looking so crazy right
now" sings Beyonce. "Your love
got me looking so crazy right
now."
A woman named Anise from
payroll greets me. Another staff
member thanks me for joining their celebration. In every
corner of the large luncheon
area, colleagues and friends
laugh, hug and add to a bubbling
energy that even a stone-hearted
journalist like me can feel.
The African American Faculty
and Staff Association (A AFSA)
served up this bubbling energy
at their 3rd Annual Soul Food
Luncheon, held last Friday at
The Clarke Field House. The
luncheon is designed to raise
money for future A AFSA initiatives.
It was clear that funding was
not their only objective, though.
Karen Francisco-Butler of
Admissions and Recruitment,
along with Virgian Hughes
of Registration and Records,
explained that the purpose of the
luncheon is to show others what
African-Americans are like as
people in their culture.
Shortly after the staff opened
the lunch line, the event featured
AAFSA Vice President Gezai
Berhane's power point presenta• tion entitled, "They came, they
made a way." Profiling numerous African-American political
and social leaders, the presentation served as an expression
of culture from a historical perspective.
As unimportant as rich food
might be relative to figures like
Rosa Parks and Shirley Chisholm
(both part of the presentation),
the luncheon's fare (provided by
Southern Spice Catering of Temecula) deserved its own praise.
The macaroni and cheese was
chunky, super-rich, and so very
pleasing. The tender barbequed
chicken was sealed away from
the world by a smoky red sauce,
and it too struck ecstasy. The
corn bread was corn bread. As
for the collard greeas; well, they
were vegetables, so let's just say
that others enjoyed them.
One person who looked to be
enjoying himself was ASI President and CEO Marc DeGuzman. When asked about what the
Soul Food Luncheon means for
CSUSM, DeGuzman commented
that "it's one of the ways we cel-

"When community can come
together, that's what Cal State
San Marcos is all about," said
Jonathan Poullard (Chair of the
AAFSA Fundraising Committee, Dean of Students, and the
man who directed the proceedings) about the event. "It warms
my heart."
The room's heart-warming
energy and spirit of expression were quickly sucked u p,,
enriched, and re-distributed by
the luncheon'sfinalact. Anthony
Blacksher, a CSUSM graduate
and graduate student, captivated
the crowd with a moving slam
poetry performance.
"This poem is for Tookie"
shouted Blacksher in a willing
voice,"the Tookie that is redemptive!"
"This poem is for Ossie."
"This poem is for Rosa ... Life
is civil rights."
Blafcksher
finished,
the
100-150 attendees erupted in
applause, and the energy was
restored.
The 3rd Annual Soul Food Luncheon served up culture, community, rich food, and an energy
related to the three. I think that
all of us left with bigger bellies,
and possibly bigger souls.

�The questionable histories of Valentine's Day
BY KATIE ROWE AND
ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writers
To many bitter singles, and
most men, Valentine's Day is
just one more holiday invented
to get people to spend money.
Although the g ift industry may
benefit greatly from this holiday,
it actually originated long before
Hallmark.
One explanation, kept alive by
educational TV stations like "The
History Channel", points to third
century A.C.E. Roman Emperor
Claudias II. According to legend,
he outlawed marriage between
young couples because he felt that
young unmarried men would

Valentine, sainted by Pope
Gelasius, who wrote extensively
against the "lover's lottery" of old
make better soldiers. Valentine,
a local Christian activist, defied
Claudias, and secretly married
young lovers until discovered and
sentenced to death. Sites such
as TheHolidaySpot.com often
maintain the legend that Claudias
tried to convert Valentine, who
refused and then tried to convert
Claudias, going on to suggest that
the priest sent the first valentine
to the Prison guard's daughter,
who befriended him while he was
incarcerated, the note reading
"From Your Valentine". There
are also stories claiming that the
daughter's blindness was cured
by Valentine's faith.
Although these legends are
somewhat unclear, it is easy to
see how Valentine could be made
into the patron saint of lovers.
As there are two main stories
explaining who Valentine was,
there are also two theories as to
why Valentine's Day is celebrated
on Feb. 14.
The first acknowledges only
that this date Commemorates the
death or burial of St. Valentine,
the other points to another effort
to Christianize a pagan festival,
in this case, Lupercalia.
In Rome, February marked the
beginning of spring and the time
of purification with Lupercalia
celebrated on February 15 as a
fertility festival. The day would
start with sacrifices to the wolf
goddess Lupa of a goat for fer-
tat
if
tility and a dog for purification.
Their hides were cut into strips
and covered in holy blood. Youths
were also covered in this blood
but washed with milk before carrying the strips through the street,
slapping playfullyfleeingwomen
to bring fertility or easy birth.
Moreso, on the eve of this festival, in honor of the Queen Goddess Juno, the names of young
women were collected and put
into a lottery for single men to
draw. These couples would be
paired for the year and this pairing often ended in marriage.
Pope Gelasius outlawed the
pagan "lovers' lottery" for being
unchristian and declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around
494 A.D. People began exchanging Valentines, but it wasn't until
the 17th century that Valentine's
Day became a popular holiday in
Great Britain. It is estimated that
both Americans and people from
all social classes were exchanging valentines in the 1700s, even
if printed cards did not become
available till the end of that century. Esther Howland is remembered as the Mother of Valentines in the US for creating the
first commercially produced Valentine's Day cards in the 1840s,
as well as for her elaborate hand
made Valentines.
Cupid's association with the
holiday can be attributed to his
mother Venus, goddess of love
I'm
Juno, Godess of marriage
and beauty. He himself was
known as a mischievous child
who flew around piercing people's hearts, causing them to fall
madly in love.
Today, this lover's holiday is
celebrated in the United States,
Canada, Mexico, the United
Kingdom, France, and Australia.
The Greeting Card Association
P h o to
courtesy oftimeIessmyths.com
claims that about one billion Valentine's Day cards are sent each
year throughout the world and
that women purchase about 85%
of all Valentines.
As for the Christian Nature of
this holiday, the response about
its roots and historical significance will all depend on who you
ask.

�On Campus: Bringing Poetri to Black History Month
A n evening of laughter, love, a nd faith with a T oni award w inner
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writers
Recall those evenings of free
entertainment that deserved an
admission, of attending extra
credit events worth skipping class
for. Pity those students who find
none, for it is not the tendency, but
the obligation of Colleges to provide them. Do not, for the sake of
maintaining academic numbness,
discard the opportunity to see and
share the application of education.
Do not miss another chance to

of his performances and workshops to either high schools or
college campuses, but is fortunate
enough to say that "There's no different format for different crowds
because I've been blessed to have
work that fits anywhere."
Although there can be no doubt
that his work would benefit any
aspiring writer, when asked about
his contribution to Black History
Month at CSUSM, Ms. Guevarra
affirms that "Poetri has been able
to represent a voice not only in
the Black community but as a
respected poet and performer.
I did not choose Poetri only for
Black History month, but as a
contribution to the lifestyle of a
spoken word artist...besides, I
don't think it takes designated
months to celebrate diversity."

Top 10 movies about sports
A look into the world of the UFC
BY JOSHUA SANDAVOL
Special to The Pride
BY MICHELLE HEROLD
Pride Staff Writers
I finished watching "Mr. 3000"
on Starz the other
night and I was
pissed that I wasted
an hour and 45 minutes of my life. To
get the bad taste
out of my mouth of
the worst baseball
movie ever made, I watched "Million
Dollar Baby" on HBO, and I loved it.
A fter viewing those movies, I got to
thinking about my top 10 favorite sports
movies so here they are,
10 - "Friday Night Lights" surprised
me. I didn't think Billy Bob Thornton
would be convincing as a high school
football coach. It's hard to imagine Billy
Bob even graduating from high school.
This movie did a great j ob of portraying that there is no greater atmosphere in
sports than a high school football game
under the lights.
9 - "Happy Gilmore" is without a doubt
the funniest sports movie ever made.
Adam Sandler and Bob Barker brawling is quite possibly the greatest scene in
movie history. It certainly takes an amazing story to make golf interesting.
8 - "Million Dollar Baby" didn't disappoint me one bit. I thought it would
because I didn't see it while it was in the
theatres, and then after all the hype at the
Academy Awards, I thought there was no
way it could live up to the hype, but it
did.
7 - "Miracle" provided something for
me that I wasn't able to experience since
I wasn't born when the events took place.
The story of the 1980 USA hockey team
is something I really only heard stories
about, but to see the actual sequence of
events was pretty amazing. One reason
I don't like seeing sports movies m the
theatre is because of movies like this
where the audience gets so emotionally
wrapped up in the plot and ends up clapping when the team wins a game, as if
the game was being played live. However, I really enjoyed this movie because
I didn't know the interesting individual
stories about all the players on the team.
6 - "Seabiscuit" is a sports movie. Don't
think that horse racing is not a sport. I
love this movie not only because horse

racing is one of my favorite sports, but
because actual jockeys, like Gary Stevens, played parts in the movie. What's
not to like about a hopeless animal and a
hopeless man who team up and become
one of the greatest combos the sport has
ever seen?
5 - "Rocky" is impressive because
Sylvester Stallone actually wrote the
script. Who knew Sly could actually
write? The only bad thing about the success of Rocky is that they made about
51 sequels and kind of ruined the mystique.
4 - "8 Men Out" is a movie that many
sports fans probably haven't seen. It's
about the Black Sox scandal of 1919. I
love this movie because I've studied in
depth the darkest moment in baseball
history and this movie was a flawless
representation. The most well known
person in this movie is Charlie Sheen
and he actually looks like he could play
baseball in some of the scenes.
3 - "Rudy" is quite possibly the only
movie ever made that makes grown men
cry. What's not to love about a small guy
who has no business being on a football
field and through hard work and dedication actually gets into a game? I love
the scene where the crowd is chanting,
"Rudy! Rudy!"...sniff sniff.
2 - "The Sandlot" is basically what my
summer vacations were like when I was
a child. What is rare about this sports
movie is that it is enjoyed by even the
non-sports fan. I love the scene where
Benny outruns the dog chasing him
throughout town. Also, who can forget
the scene where "Ham" and his enemy
on another team get into an argument
and "Ham" coins the phrase, "Youuuuuu
throw like a girrrrrllll," which is followed by a big gasp.
1 - "White Men Can't Jump" is a movie
I could watch over and over again. For
anyone that has ever played street ball,
he or she knows that the atmosphere
shown in the movie was true to form.
What's rare about this sports movie
is that it doesn't involve an organized
sports team. This movie also deals with
so many different subjects like racism,
violence, poverty, and deception. Also,
any time Alex Trebek makes a cameo,
you have got to be impressed.
Let me know what you think of
my list by sending an E-mail to

Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell once
again proves his mettle against Randy
"The Natural" Couture in the UFC
light heavyweight (185-205 lbs.) division on Saturday at the Mandalay Bay
in Las Vegas. In a fight scheduled for
five, five-minute rounds, Chuck Liddell
knocked Randy Couture down with
his signature straight right hand punch
in the second round. As Couture went
down, Liddell leaped to the ground
attack, pounding Couture against the
canvas for several seconds before the
referee, Big John McCarthy pulled him
off and declared Liddell the winner by
a knockout.
Unlike Boxing, the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) mixed martial arts fighting events include ground
rules as well as grappling rules. Both
fighters can pursue their opponent to
the ground, and as long as both remain
active in their own defense, such contact is allowed under the rules. When
one opponent is stunned or unable to
defend themselves, the referee stops
the fight to protect the fighter, and the
winner is declared.
The fight is held not in the traditional
boxing ring, but in an octagonal ring
fenced in with chain link, giving the
impression of a cage match. But these
fighters are pros, most of them trained
and cross-trained for three or even four
times the length of time a professional
boxer is trained. Their discipline is generally much better, and their skills can
encompass Boxing, Wrestling, Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Karate, and any
other form of personal combat they
think they can use. Where traditional
boxing allows a ten minute countdown,
a standing eight count, and a very limited area of legal targets and weapons,
the UFC allows no count at all, and the
legal targets exclude only the groin,
and intentional rapid breaking of the
opponent's joints (like elbows, knees,
neck, back, etc.) The legal weapons are
fists, feet, knees, and elbows as well as
chokes, holds, and grappling.
In the first round, Randy Couture,
a world-class wrestler, went after the
takedown himself, shooting for Liddell's legs after Liddell cut him over
the right eye in a straight right, followed by a left uppercut combination. Chuck Liddell started to go down
momentarily, but bounced back to his
feet almost before he left them.
Once down, Couture's wrestling
advantage could have cancelled out
Liddell's heavy hands. Chuck actually took Randy down shortly before
the end of the round for a little ground
and pound, but the bell sounded after
Chuck delivered only a few punches to
Randy's left ribs.
In the second round, as Couture and
Liddell were faced off, Couture made
one lateral fake too many and slipped
for a moment, trying to cover his slip,
he threw a left lunging hook, Floyd Patterson style, only to have it bounce off
the back of Liddell's head. Chuck took
advantage of the moment Randy left his
head uncovered to punch him squarely
on the chin and Randy went down. It
was when Chuck followed him to the
canvas that the referee intervened and
ended the fight. A fter the fight Liddell
said, "If you let me stand in front of you
long enough, I 'll knock you out."
Randy Couture had been involved
in the UFC since its inception in
1993. He is forty-two years old, and
announced his retirement from competition immediately a fter Liddell was
formally declared the winner and still
light heavyweight champion. As he left
the arena, he told the press, "This is the
last time you'll see these gloves."
Among the other notable fights were
Frank Mir's defeat in his heavyweight
(over 205 lbs) return match to Marco
Cruz. Devastated by a motorcycle accident that nearly cost him his leg, Frank
Mir's courageous return to the ring was
marked by his defeat, but Mir declared,
"I can't give up." Mir will return to the
Octagon better prepared next time.
Light heavyweight Renato "Babalou" Sobral defeated his opponent
Mike Van Arsdale a little over two
minutes into the first round with a
Jiu Jitsu choke hold called a "naked
choke" a fter taking Van Arsdale down
to the ground. Babalou has publicly
announced his eagerness to fight "The
Iceman," Chuck Liddell for the Light
Heavyweight Title. When informed
of Babalou's offer, Liddell said, "You
know me, I 'll fight anybody."

�Robbins Report
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
In reading this newspaper last
week, I learped that there is "a
way" to dress for spring 2006.
There is "a way* to dress for
spring 2006?
Is this like the way of the samurai? Or is it more like the way
of the righteous man?
Call me a bastard, but the idea
of a seasonal clothing trend is
baffling. Apparently, there's
much more t o covering up
one's torso than adapting to the
weather and not looking like a
bum. Fine, I'll.make the decree:
Seasonal clothing trends suck
and ought to be banned forever
because I said so, and I'm a columnist for "The Pride".
Oh yes.
Well, I've changed course
in this week's edition of our
RR (you may call it that if you
want). This week features the
first installment of the Campus
All-Stars Profile. Campus AllStars are those CSUSM students whose contributions to
our campus merit praise from
the press.
By the way, where have our
campus representatives been
the last few monthstf I'm here
at least five days a week, I see
more things we that have displaced (the poor bunnies) than
people that we have elected.
Maybe there's a terrorist threat
that's forcing them to govern
from a bunker below the Mangrum Track. I 'll investigate.
Let me get back to the profile; I'll instant message Agent
Scully in a minute. It's time to
rejoice, San Marcos, because
Jeremy Mills is your first Robbins Report Campus Ail-Star.
Mr. Mills is the Director of
Commuter Student Services for
ASI's Programming Board, Vice
Chair of ASI's Lobby Corp Committee, Communications Direc-
tor and Treasurer of CSUSM's
branch of Amnesty International, and he's the Coordinator and a founding member of
ASI's Women's Center. In other
words', there might be a market
for a collector's card featuring
Jeremy if higher education was
as cool as professional baseball.
I asked Jeremy to explain why
he chose a lifestyle of engagement. " I'm an extremely active
student on campus because I
feel that it is important to be
involved in my community and
with political entities," Mills
said.
"I have had the opportunity
to attend CSUSM and have benefited from all the offerings that
campus life has to offer and I
believe that everyone should
have this same chance. This
involvement is what makes the
college experience rich and fulfilling for me. The events, the
activism, and the involvement,
whether in the Greek life, political orgs, athletics or just enjoying an event on campus, all
create an atmosphere of campus
^ community pride that makes
one's experience at Cal-State
San Marcos a memorable one."
If it pleases the court, I'd like
to add my own testimony.
Mr. Mills' work on campus
reflects a genuine devotion
towards students, and he exhibits thè sort of leadership ability that others can emulate. As
a Campus All-Star, he deserves
your handshake and a pleasant
thank you.
I invite you to write in about
other students who deserve recognition for their contributions
to the campus. I also think that
we would benefit from a toll-free'
readers' line for those interested
in reporting good and "unreasonably flawed" professors. It's
easy, but unfair to call everyone
super because educating and
being educated are super.
Letter to the
Dear Editor,
Today my friend and I went
to the dome, we usually go off
campus to eat, but instead, we
went to the dome. I not only found
out that thè University that prides
itself in environmental friendliness uses Styrofoam cups and
plates, but when my friend asked
if she could reuse her old Styrofoam cup to fill it up with ice, she
was given a dirty look and a hesitant yes.
It is evident that all over our
campus we have recycle-mania
posters andrecycle bins, yet when
we go to the dome and buy a pizza
and soda we are served in a Styrofoam cup and plate. Although
this is minor compared to other
Universities I feel it is necessary
this issue be addressed, especially since the University takes
pride in being an environmentally friendly campus. Are we-not
just hypocrites by not spending
a couple more cents to buy reusable plates or even paper plates?
Other Universities use reusable
plates, cups and utensils, yet we
pride ourselves about being the #1
recycling school. Why not start to
reuse these items now instead
of waiting until they need to be
recycled in the case of Styrofoam
it is environmentally unfriendly.
- We are supposed to be a model
for other educational institutions,
but how can we pretend to be
environmental models if we are
being hypocrites by using foam
cups and plates? We can spend a
little more money and use reusable plates, cups and utensils.
What should be more embarrassing is the fact that we are surrounded by intelligent individuals, yet none are trying to change
this. I hope others in this University voice their concerns so that
we can truly be a model for other
educational institutions and environment as a whole.
Sincerely,
MonicaGarcia-Velasquez
Report an Oversimplified opinion
Since Mr., bobbins has
requested that "representatives"
from Women's Studies come
forth, I would like to share my
experiences. Having received a
bachelor's degree from CSUSM
in Communication and Women's
Studies, I have been a student in
many Women's Studies courses.
Even with such familiarity, I
would never attempt to speak on
behalf of an entire department.
This being said, I am presenting
a different take on the Women's
Studies department than the
opinions set forth by Robbins.
In his editorial, Robbins chauvinistically shrugs off an entire
department based upon the
social and political opinions of
an unidentified Women's Studies
student. While I won't dispute
the legitimacy of his source, I
will say that his editorial reminds
us of the importance of critical
thinking. Because the opinions
of Robbins' acquaintance are
in opposition to his otvn, he not
only suggests that the Women's
Studies department is somewhat responsible for her immoral
views (completely removing
the personal agency and history
of the woman he cites); but, he
goek oif to advise that students
should refrain from taking Women's Studies courses. Ironically,
one issue that Women's Studies
often brings attention to is how a
white, male-dominated media is
constantly criticizing the efforts
and attitudes of women, much
like the way Mr. Robbins does of
his friend and the Women's Studies program.
If I were to use the same logic
used in Robbins' "report" (i.e.,
one person's opinions are reflect
tive of, and caused by, the major
she/he is in), I could argue that
students should not read The
Pride, t he logic being: The Pride
employs an editorialist who intentionally taunts marginal groups
to instigate confrontation (sensationalism); therefore, all of their
contributors must also think and
do the same. Fortunately, I don't
have such a simplistic view.
It is ridiculous to purport that
the Women's Studies department advocates abortion or tells
students that African Americans shouldn't vote Republican.
Such beliefs are not departmentimposed mandates to study-
ing feminism. Women's Studies
classes address an array of issues
concerning social inequalities in
gender, race, class, and sexual
identity. Women's Studies is
about incorporating women's
experiences into the classroom - it's more than just equal pay for
equal work; it's about addressing
all forms of social inequality: Of
course, this is based on my experience. Maybe Robbins would
agree, had he ever taken a Women's Studies class.
I urge Robbins to stop marauding as the no-nonsense, "tell it
as it is" editorialist, and invest
time into researching the people
and programs he mocks. In the
meantime, he should consider
changing the title of his column
to "The Robbins Rant," because
it certainly is not a report. A
report implies a level of inquiry
beyond: "I know a woman who
took classes in Women' Studies,
and she thinks this, so Women's
Studies sucks!" With deductive
skills like that, who needs higher
education?
Sincerely annoyed,

Some is always better than none
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
There are many individuals
across campus that dread the
upcoming Valentine's Day holiday. Some people even refer
to it as the "Hallmark" holiday. Everyone has his or her
own reasons for being bitter
about love or for unleashing
his or her disdain sJbout celebrating love and romance on
one designated day out of the
year. Some people have been
the "dumper" and some have
been the "dumpee." Others
may have never even experienced the euphoria of being
in love. Those scorned by
love who choose to hibernate
during the holiday or barricade
themselves from the barrage
of heart shaped items and red
colored everything should rent
"Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."
The movie is not a traditional love story, but the plot
offers a shift of perspective to
the broken hearted. The main
characters* Joel and Clemen^
tine, fall in love and their relationship lasts for about two
years. They break up and Joel
discovers that Clementine has
undergone a recently invented
mind erasing procedure to
obliterate all memories of Joel
and their relationship. Joel is
in deep emotional torment so
he decides to go through the
same procedure. In the middle
of the procedure, Joel realizes
that he would rather keep all
memories of Clementine and
their relationship then give up
any of the good memories. I
won't give away the ending of
the movie, but since cloning is
no longer a mad scientist's fantasy and has actually entered
into the realm of reality, mind
erasing might not be that far-off
into the future or implausible.
What if the world got so out of
hand that to cure heartbreak,
one only needed to go into the
nearest mind erasing facility,
fill out an application, pay the
fee, and have the procedure?
Who you are now is shaped by
your life experiences. If you
erase memories of those experiences, how will you learn f rom
them? How will you know what
mistakes not to make again and
how to improve yourself in the
next relationship? How will you
know what you aren't willing to
take from someone and how.
far you're willing t o bend for
someone? The, answer to these
lessons can only be learned by
letting life run its course.
Most relationships also have
good times. If you erase all
memories of someone and your
relationship with him or her,
you're not only losing the bad
memories, you're sacrificing the
good. The first kiss, the butterflies, the giddiness, the anticipation of having that person
call you or seeing that person
again will all be gone. The English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson
said it best, "'Tis better to have
loved and lost than never to
have loved at all."

�Invisible Childern: A cry you can't ignore
Documentary exposes present day nightmare in N orthern Uganda
BY LISA LANDERS
Pride Staff Writer
The documentary Invisible
Children was new to me. I had
been told by my professors to
see it due to its profound nature.
They even went as far to say that
some of their student's lives have
changed drastically from one
viewing of this documentary. At
the time, I was not so impressed
with those pleas, but I decided
to go and view the documentaryanyways; hey, it beat being in
class.
The documentary viewing
was held on campus last Tuesday
in the ARTS Building at 6 p.m.
It was held by a fetfow CSUSM
student named Alisa Wells. She
announced why she was here in
front of us in the auditorium. She
proceeded to tell everyone that
she had been greatly affected by
this documentary (as she proudly
wore its title Invisible Children
on her shirt), and that it means a
great deal to her to get the word
out on such a powerful piece. Was
I convinced yet? No, not really.
But what I was about to see has
haunted me ever since ...
Invisible Children tells a
story that will captivate, horrify,
sadden, compel and turn your
world upside down.
Many will leave in shock that
this type of behavior is still going
on, and the horrifying thing is
that most of us did not know until
this documentary's viewing.
However, as drastic as this may
seem, it is worth an hour of your
time.
The story begins when three
friends from the United States
going to Africa in search of a
story worth documenting. These
three guys Jason Russell (26),
Bobby Bailey (22), and Laren
Poole (21) are actually from our
neighboring city San Diego.
They looked at this opportunity
as an adventure. T l^y were amateurs in every sense of the word.
These young adults had no idea
or direction when they set out for
Africa when the rest of the world
at this time was advised not to
travel. They hoped to open their
lense wide and capture any story.
After the comical intro of them
trying to slay an African snake,
the story drops into a far more
serious subject. The boys unlock
the terrible truth about what happens to children in Northern
Uganda. They stumbled upon
a reality that can make anyone
sick to his or her stomach. They
encountered a horrific genocide mom terrible than the holo-
caust happening to young children between the ages of five
and twelve in present day. They
found that children were leaving their home villages to sleep
in clusters in back alleys and
basements in the thick of town
because it is safer than sleeping
in their home. These children
live in fear of the brutal recruitment tactics of the Rebel Army
which has been in war fighting
for twenty years to overthrow the
government. The Rebel Army
has resorted to abducting children from their homes, holding
them in camps and training them
to kill. Theses children as young
asfiveyears old are being killed,
brainwashed, beat on and made
to fight as child soldiers.
The documentary exposes this
present day nightmare and asks
three things of the viewer in its
opening. One, to expose the war
to as many people as possible.
Two, to empower viewers. And
third, to provide aid in hopes to
create a safe environment where
orphans and children can live in
peace. After viewing this piece
you will want to do all of the
above.
Overall, this is not just an
informative documentary, but a
cry for help. "It is not only break-
ing new ground but it has a bigger
impact on my life than any other
document that I've seen," said
Jon Turteltaub, Director for the
National Treasure. It is truly a
kept secret that will inspire you
in every scene. To find out more

�BEER OF THE WEEK:
MISSISSIPPI MUD
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Black and tans are a well known
combination to beer lovers. Yet
don't cut yourself short by thinking that the only good black and
tan out there is Guinness and
Bass. While that's a mixture that
can never really be surpassed,
there are others that should definitely be tried and tasted.
Mississippi Mud is one beer
you've probably seen and walked
by before but never tried. Bottled
in quart sized, moonshine jug
styled bottles, Mud's unique packaging is sure to catch your eye,
along with the alligator emblazoned across its front. While
brewed in upstate New York, far
from the Mississippi River, Mississippi Mud is one beer that stays
true to its name. A mixture of
dark ale and lager, Mud is a heavy
beer best served by itself or with a
hearty meal.
Although the packaging refers
to the brews used in Mud as pilsner and stout, it is most definitely
a lager flavor that comes through
strongest in Mississippi Mud. This
black and tan is dark amber color
with a heavy lager odor, yet does
not taste nearly as strong as one
would expect. The flavor, like the
odor, leans towards the lager in
the mix, with a taste slightly reminiscent of caramel and roasted
barley or malt. There is little taste
of bitterness, and the beer itself is
light in texture, despite its general
heavier odor and feeling.
The lighter amber-colored lager
used in Mississippi Mud can also
be bought separately in a similarly styled bottle, featuring mallards on the front. Although not as
common in stores as the black and
tan, the slow-brewed American
style lager is also worth a taste if
you can find it.
Mississippi Mud can readily
be found at such stores as Trader
Joes, Beverages and More, and
elsewhere. So give this American
style black and tan a try, as two
quality beers meet, as the back
of the jug puts it, "in Mississippi
Mud."

'Memoirs of a Geisha': Controversy?
'A movie
about Japanese
played by
Chinese,
written by
whites'
BY ALFRED CHU
Special to The Pride
The New York Times
reported on February 1 that
the film "Memoirs of a Geisha"
will be officially banned in
China. The film sparked controversy and outrage when
Chinese actresses Ziyi Zhang,
Gong Li and Malaysian actress
Michelle Yeoh were cast as Japanese prostitutes during World
War II when the Japanese committed numerous war crimes
against the Chinese. The film
is about a woman growing up
in poor conditions and rising
to become one of Japan's most
distinguished geishas. Movie
studio bosses were displeased
with the decision reached in
China as it denied their attempt
to make a few more dollars
abroad.

"Memoirs of a Geisha,"
labeled as "a movie about Japanese played by Chinese, written
by whites," was first delayed,
then forced to be censored for a
sex scene, delayed once again,
and now banned. For whatever
reasons the Chinese government banned this film, it doesn't
surpass the obvious reason for
the studio's decision in casting: money. Ziyi Zhang and
Michelle Yeoh broke into Hollywood with 1999's "Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon." That
film became the first foreign
film to gross over $100 million
domestically and first foreign
film to receive the most Oscar
nominations, totaling ten and
winning four. Li received her
spotlight in 1991's "Raise the
Red Lantern." From this star
power, Zhang, Li and Yeoh,
along with their talent, are able
to attract audiences here and
abroad. The entire intent of any
film, regardless of its artistic
content, is to make money. You
can voice your opinion in pursuit of a j ust cause, so simply
realize this is the reality we
live in, and the nature of the
business.
I 'm not suggesting there
aren't Japanese actresses that
would or can equal Zhang's,
Yeoh's and Li's stature and
talent, I'm merely suggesting if
there were, the studio would've
cast them long ago. I doubt the
studio purposely cast Chinese
and Malaysian actresses in
Japanese roles simply to upset
audiences. What financial benefits would they stand to gain if
that were the case?
My confusion and questions
ri§e when people are so concerned about political and ethnical correctness about a period
piece: what about the fact that
a Caucasian (Rob Marshall) is
sitting in the director's chair?
What about the author (Arthur
Golden) of the novel, who is
Caucasian? And most of all, do
people find the entire dialog in
English in a Japanese period
piece upsetting?
This isn't a rarity in Hollywood. We've seen many Caucasian actors and actresses
play respective roles in which
the nationality was different
f rom their own. For example,
Colin Farrell, of Irish descent,
played an Englishman Captain John Smith in "The New
World" or even a Macedonian/
Greek in "Alexander." Respect
the studio and filmmakers'
courage to f und and promote
a mainstream Hollywood film
with an all Asian cast. Now
that's a rarity in Hollywood.

In following up on the student vehicle burglary of Feb. 1,
the University Police Department speaks out regarding their
efforts to ensure campus safety.
Lieutenant Douglas Miller was
able to provide some additional
comments on the incident, as
well as details about the responsibilities of CSUSM Police,
Community Service Officers,
and Parking Officers.
"We (University Police)
have at most three officers on
duty at all times," said Miller,
in describing the patrol power
of the department. Miller
explained that for the three officers on duty there is a total of
304 acres plus the insides of
each building to monitor. Patrol
power is increased with the
presence of CSOs and Parking
Officers; however, the abilities
to make arrests and apprehend
suspects aren't strengthened as
much through this unity.
"Parking Officers and CSOs
are like our eyes and ears,"
said Miller, commenting on the
nature of these officers' jobs.
Officers from both divisions
can observe and report incidents, but they are not authorized to take action in situations
like vehicle burglaries. In fact,
if these officers were to take
steps toward apprehending suspects or taking individuals into
custody, they would face consequences. "CSOs and Parking Officers are students, they
are not trained in law enforcement," said Miller.
Because Community Service
Officers and officers from Parking Services must report all
incidents to University Police
before any action can take
place, response time can take
up to 15 minutes. According
to Lt. Miller, this time is much
faster compared to San Diego
State's response time of some-

Three factors compose ASI's
operating budget: student fees,
donations/profits, and interest
from investments.
The vast majority of ASI funds
are provided directly from mandatory student union fees, included
in each semester's tuition cost,
for both part-time and full-time
students. Each student, unless
exempt with a waiver, contributes
$50 to ASI's budget. If a student
is enrolled for all three semesters,
spring, summer, and fall, within
one academic year, the student
has paid ASI $150 to advocate for
that student's voice. These fees
allow ASI to host and co-sponsor
events on and off campus, including the Masquerade Ball, cultural
festivities, guest lecturers, and
many other activities run by student-oriented operations.
However, some funds assist
with less practical uses, such as
purchasing the North County
Times and New York Times,
or working on goals such as
installing couches in restrooms,
a goal detailed on the ASI website.
In addition to the extensive financial contribution by
students, commercial operations are typically paid for
by donations and profit from
ticket sales. ASI makes about
one dollar on each ticket sold

Cal State San Marcos is in the market for
enthusiastic students interested in promoting
campus unity and pride as the campus's spirited cougar mascot CRASH.
In prior years, CRASH hasn't had many
appearances on campus, but ASI's Kellie

for a few lively students, guys or girls, who

through their box office. Collectively, thisfinancialincome totals
approximately $15,000 dollars of
the budget, which generally goes
toward commercial operations.
The third and smallest contributor to the ASI budget is the
interest gained off of investments
in mutual funds. This equates to
about a thousand dollars within
the academic year. Interest does
not provide a large amount of
ASI's funds, but can help cushion
budgets for many events and programs.
About$120,000isusedannually
for program events on campus,
compensating guest speakers,
and hosting social events. ASI
also utilizes some of its budget to
sponsor and co-sponsor events,
such as the Middle Eastern Conference, Oktoberfest, and recreational activities.

students the opportunity to rub elbows with
the mascot and share in campus-wide pride
at the CRASH Pride Day. The event will be
located in the Kellogg Plaza, complete with
free food, games, entertainment, free-prizes
for students showing their pride, and the
front business office expenses
and maintenance on copiers and
fax machines. Costs in this area
also include buying wholesale
tickets for amusement parks,
leisure activities, etc. ASI also
funds the Early Learning Center,
the Recreation Center/Clarke
Field House and club/ intramural
sports.
The ASI general fund budget
is decided and allocated by various ASI departments and the
ASI Board of Directors, with
approval/suggestions from the
University President and her
administration. The current ASI
administration makes the budget
for the upcoming year/administration.
June 30 is the end of the fiscal
academic year, and all departments are putting forward their
proposals this Spring to prepare
for the upcoming fiscal year.

of funds available, ASI begins

drafting the general fund. Each
department decides what they
need and with all things considered, a general budget is drafted
by the main ASI Board of Directors, consisting offivekey executive directors.
ASI officers are salaried workers, but often the labor outweighs
the compensation. The presidential position for ASI pays $8,000
per term, which is one full academic year. The ASI President
has to put in a minimum of ten
hours a week in the summer and
a minimum of 20 hours a week
in the Fall and Spring semesters.
Executive officers earn $7,000 a
year, logging in the same minimum weekly hours as the president. Student representatives
make considerably less with
$1,200 for the year for a minimum of eight hours a week. All
ASI elected positions serve for a

"We put in many more hours
than [what is required]," said
Marc DeGuzman, current ASI
president. He also adds that
"some students may feel that ASI
doesn't do anything," but actually it is a very complex organization with many responsibilities
that impact students.
ASI is currently looking for
ways to expand on commercial
operations. Foundations have
lots of control over food sales
and venders. No negotiations are
in the works, but ASI is considering other options to help raise
more funds and increase the ASI
operating budget, which means
more programs and event opportunities for CSUSM students and
affiliates.

contributing factor in the department's response time is lack of
staffing. The campus is growing
at an exponential rate while the
department's size remains at a
standstill.
This issue is not only felt on the
university level, but aiso countywide. "San Diego County law
enforcement has 500 vacant jobs
to befilleddue to the difficulty to
recruit individuals for sworn law
enforcement jobs," said Sergeant
Rigo Chaves. The interviewing and preliminary screening
process is composed of multiple
steps, often too many steps for
most applicants. Due to the staffing obstacles and campus growth
the University Police must face,
the department encourages all
students to report all suspicious

As Americans, our images
of Tijuana might include:
painted donkeys, shoeless
children selling Chiclets,
cheap Rolex knockoffs,
booze, Montezuma's revenge,
maniacal drivers in search of
the best possible route to the
"front of the line" at the international border, etc... In any
case, a bustling Jewish community doesn't rank high on
the list. In fact, the notion of
a Mexican Jew can be downright baffling to some.
Isaac Artenstein's documentary, "Tijuana Jews,"
breaks through many misconceptions regarding Jews and
Mexico, while providing a

grated from pre-World War II
Europe to find a safer home in
secular Mexico. Artenstein digs
into his family's history and
uncovers the personalities of predominate members of the community. They lived just like any
other Jewish community would
elsewhere in the world.
Through the use of old photo's,
interviews with surviving members of the original community,
warm narratives and seemingly
ancient super 8 footage, Artenstein gives the forgotten community an unforgettable voice.
The film also recounts events
that happened at many Tijuana
landmarks such as the Jai Alai
Palace, Avenida Revolucion, and
Tijuana's "Centro Social Isrealista," adding a bit of history to
both well-known or otherwise
unknown parts of town.
"Tijuana Jews" is more than
an informative documentary on
Jews living in Tijuana, it is also
a colorful commemoration of an
all but forgotten cluster of families who escaped European persecution and made a comfortable
home in the prosperous environment Tijuana provided before its
economic downfall in the 1960's.
Since then, many of those families have moved into the United
States (particularly in the southern parts of San Diego County)
and have blended in with the predominant culture. Meanwhile,
their parents arid grandparents,
who experienced Tijuana's boom,
are slowly fading away.
Of course, immortalizing
these people in film is one of the
main reasons Artenstein produced "Tijuana Jews", in addition to dispelling the perception
of a Mexican Jew as some sort of
mythological creature.
The Center ARTS at CSUSM
held the showing and lecture of
"Tijuana Jews" in Room 240 of
the Arts building on Wednesday,
February 15 as part of their series
of arts and lectures.

Last Thursday afternoon,
CSUSM students in ARTS 240
were taken on a literary trip
to Cuba to explore the secretive religion of "Palo Monte,"
often considered "Black Magic".
Armin Schwegler, a professor of
Spanish at both U.C. Irvine and
CSUSM, guided audience members through the inter-workings
and curiosities of the obscure
religious practices, language and
context of Palo Monte.
The lecture was presented as
part of the Black History Month
events on campus. "This is the
story of African people coming
to the New World and what was
retained as far as their culture,
language and religious practices," said Prof. Schwegler,
before speaking to the audience
as a whole.
His lecture began by narrating
the origins of the Palo Monte religion, tracing it back to the lower
Congo region of Africa and the
Kikongo language. These cultural roots were brought over to
Cuba with the slave trade during
the sugar industry boom of the
1820s. This religion is oné of
four to migrate from Africa with
the slave trade, along with the
likes of the more well-known
Santeria.
Previously thought to be a
complete pidgin, mixed with
different languages from all
over Africa, Prof. Schwegler's
research sheds light on the fact
that Palo Monte was actually
derived from the single language
of Kikongo. This finding is now
considered irrefutable by the
academic world.
The language now used in religious practice is heavily restructured, and mixes standard traditional Spanish with the Kikongo
language. This dialect has turned
into its own entity and research
has led to a translation of over
three thousand words.
The practice of Palo Monte is
characterized as being extremely
secretive, and Prof. Schwegler
spent a great deal of time in
Cuba digging deep to find his
information. His studies led him
to find that the religion is very
much alive and, in fact, thriving
all over the country of Cuba. The
lecture made a notable point of
explaining that, despite the dark
stereotype of the old African religions gathered from mainstream
media, Palo Monte is actually
practiced by all different members of Cuban society, from city
to village, from doctors to cab
drivers.
Palo Monte emphasizes the
idea of "invoking" or otherwise
working with the spirits of the
dead. Those practicing the religion build small temples with
shrine-like sculptures made of
On Campus: Student
life and leadership
BY JENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
It's a common perception that
for CSUSM students there is very
little to 'student life' outside of
the studying and traveling from
one class to the next. For those
looking to change this experience, the tools can be found in
Craven Hall 4116 at the Student
Life & Leadership (SLL) office.
"This ('no student life' label)
is a matter of perspective. For
our age and size, we are doing
very well," says Bridget Blanshan, Director of Student Life
& Leadership. She explains that
student life and culture here on
campus may not be as obvious
as other universities because
some traditions at other campuses are a lot older, due to the
fact that those universities are a
lot older.
What's nice about the fact that
CSUSM is less than 20.years old
is that it gives students today an
opportunity to become involved
in creating these lasting traditions and organizations. Furthermore, the staff at the Student
Life & Leadership office will
partner with students to help
them establish organizations,
as well as give instruction on
how to lead them. By becoming
involved in the creating process,
students are building a legacy.
At most other universities here
in San Diego, organizations have
been established for so long that
few are born while some fail to
progress.
"I have been here at CSUSM
since July 2001, and since then,
the number of student organizations has doubled," said Blanshan. According to Erika Kirst,
Coordinator of Student Involvement, there are currently over
60 clubs and organizations here
on campus, with seven new
or renewed organizations this
semester alone. With 60 organizations, there is something
for everyone, a complete list of
which is available in the Student
Life & Leadership office.
In order to change the perception that there is 'not much to do'
at CSUSM, the SLL staff works
together tirelessly with other
organizations such as ASI and
the Campus Programs and Recreations departments to encourage student involvement and
raise awareness that there are
more than enough reasons, apart
from class attendance, to stay on
campus.
In addition to clubs and organizations, the SLL office also offers
Co-Curricular Event Funding
Applications. If an organization
wishes to hold an event, such
as the Internship/College Major
Fair, or Cultural Performances,
they can and should apply for
funding. The funds come from
monies that have been allocated
by President Haynes for such
purposes.
Another often unnoticed service is the Multicultural Program. Established 3 years ago,
and continuing to blossom today,
The Multicultural Program's
office is located next door to the
SLL, and is the beginning of
what will one day be the Cross
Cultural Center. This office
offers a cozy, living room-like
atmosphere with big comfortable couches, shelves lined with
books and videos on vast varieties of cultures, and walls papered
with beautiful posters of leaders
from all over the world.
In addition to his internal
duties, Associate Director of the
Multicultural Program, Alexis
HISTORY,frompage 1
"The History Department is
very excited to be welcoming
so many community partners,
professional public historians,
and history enthusiasts to our
campus," said Patty Seleski,
history department chair. "It's
a great opportunity for history majors and others to see
examples of the ways in which
their interest in history can be
continued beyond their college experience, in either a professional and career oriented
capacity, or as a personal passion."
"San Diego County has a
whole range of history museums and local history societies; the Congress of History
is a kind of umbrella organization for these local societies," explained Associate Professor Jeff Charles, who has
been working closely with the
Congress of History, as well as
others, in offering this event
at CSUSM. "Many students
don't realize how deeply their

history of local development,
and this conference will present an interesting perspective
on the legacy of our county's
past. History teachers, at every
level, appreciate work and"
knowledge of those who study
local history because they help
keep history alive in the community."
The Annual History Conference will be an informative
delight for history buffs, students, and all members of the
public alike.
"All local history lovers will
find something of interest and
will learn something new,"
added Richard Hann, president
of the Congress of History of
San Diego and Imperial Counties.
The registration cost for both
days is $30 per person, and
offers discounts for seniors, students, and children. All attendees will receive a complimentary
55-page book, "The Railroad
Stations of San Diego County:
Then and Now," by James N.
Price. For more information or
to register, call 619/469-7283.
S. Montevirgen, advises student
organizations with a cultural
focus, helps plan cultural events
on campus and organizes educational programs. This past Fall,
the Multicultural Program held
an event during Welcome Week
called the "Celebration of Culture". In the Spring, look forward to the veryfirst"All People
Celebration".
Other services offered include,
but certainly aren't limited to, a
web based Calendar of Events,
Cougar Wellness, Emerging
Leaders Program, Fraternity &
Sorority Life, Housing, Leadership Fast Tips, Orientation Programs and Tukwut Transcripts.
"There is nothing like it, in
terms of learning core life skills,"
says Blanshan, about the importance of student involvement.

skills look great to prospective employers, but becoming
involved at CSUSM can make

Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Dear NBC,
Kudos on
the Summer
O 1y m pics coverage that you
guys provide
every four years, but my biggest pet peeve in sports is when
something is called a sport and
it clearly isn't. By broadcasting the Winter Olympics you
are making me one aggravated
sports journalist.
Anything that involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece
outfit while dancing on ice to a
song called, "The Swan", is not a
sport. The biggestfigureskating
star is Johhny Weir, who should
just add a "D" to his last name
and call it a day.
Anything that involves cleaning the ice in front of a large disc
that is gliding down the rink is
not what I would call entertainment. If you throw some skates
on some maids and tell them to
hit the ice, it is not a sport.
Anything that involves a
person holding on for dear life
while sliding down a frozen
chute, although it may be entertaining to see them crash, it's not
a sport.
In my mind, events fall into
three categories which consist
of activities, competitionas, and
sports.
Figure skating and snowboarding should be considered
a competition because the result
is determined by the opinion of
a judge. Sports should not be
viewed like movies. Just because
Ebert and Roeper liked your
1080 on the half-pipe doesn't
mean you deserve a 10 out of
10.
Curling is an activity, because
how can you honestly consider
an event with a broom a sport?
Bobsledding and pretty much
the rest of the Winter Olympics
should be considered activities,
not sports. The only events in the
Olympics that I consider sports
are ice hockey and speed skating
and you may already know my
feelings about ice hockey.
How can you consider these
Olympics a success? I mean
"American Idol" kicked your
freezing butts in viewer-ship on
February 14, with the wannabe
singers racking in 27 million to
your 16.1 million. Heck, at least
in "American Idol" the singers
are taunted if they suck. I wish I
could do that to Bode Miller.
It was supposed to be Miller
Time at these Olympics, but
the drunkard party animal
has been more disappointing
than a hunting trip with Dick
Cheney. There was so much
hype around this guy that he is
one of the few Olympians who
had an advertising campaign in
major magazines and networks
with his campaign of joinbode.
com. I want to know where they
want us to join Bode, at the bar
maybe, because it clearly isn't at
the medal podium?
How do you expect us to know
the rules of some of these crazy
events if you don't even know
what to call these Olympics?
Is it Torino or Turin? I think I
could get used to some of these
activities if you exposed me to
them more than once every four
years. I might actually get into
these events if you televised the
national skeleton championships,
if they even have those. Also,
your marketing for these games
has been horrible. You guys have
focused your media attention on
three competitors, Miller, Shaun
White and Michelle Kwan.
I've already told you what I
think about Miller. You would
think I would have support for
White since he is from Carlsbad,
CA but I can't stand listening
to the "dude" be interviewed. I
speak a lot of slang in my daily
life and don't always use proper
English, but I for sure don't use
it 24/7 like White. Now Kwan,
there was no chance in hell
she was actually going to compete at Turin/Torino and all the
talk leading up to these games
regarded her. You don't see the
NBA marketing its injured stars
to get people to watch their
sport. It just doesn't make business sense.
What kills me most about
these events is how disappointed
my peers are when the Americans don't win a gold medal.
Honestly, how can people be
upset that the U.S. doesn't win
at the skeleton event? It's not
like you lost your skeleton fantasy league because American
didn't bring home the gold.
Does America really have to
squash every other country in
everything? Can't we just leave
the world domination thing to
George W?
I will be waiting for your
response at Sando026@csusm.
edu.
Warm Regards,
"Jock Talk" w/Josh Sandoval
P.S. to the Olympic committee: If you get any wild ideas
regarding the start-up of a Spring

�T he Spectre of Avarice Letter
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
There's little mind and less
matter in wondering how many
other bathroom mirrors received
similar treatment here on the last
Holy Day till the next. The offense
or offering lies not in contemplating the implications of public-private ads n' art, but in reflecting
upon the journey through society's holiday gauntlet.
No matter how well rounded
or timely we consider our relation to Holy Days, most often we
do worse than 'forget' their significance, we neglect it. From the
Winter Dates to the new calendar,
to the matching strike, the members of a comparatively diverse
society fill their moats and erect
their towers, convinced that their
concept of one holiday to the next
is not only profoundly sovereign,
but perpetually under attack.
Thus it happens, we sing 'with'
our hearts and our families while
we sing 'at' our cares and anyone
who dares to hold less wholly to
our concept of our hole. Like a
frightened animal, we crap on
anything that tries to swallow us
into its fold, or we vomit out our
gorgings for the proper nourishment of the neglected. We want
OUR plans for that particular
day to be recognized, thus projecting our exaggerated joy and
reflecting our exaggerated disgust when we should be saving it
for its source.
Rolling your eyes at someone
when they share a litany of joys,
whatever the reason, makes no
impact on your mood or their's
greater than the chasm stretched
between you both. Asking "why
don't you" when we clearly mean
"what's wrong with you" divides
you just as much. Everyone can
enjoy good food and drink, gifts,

our refinements and rarities, our
secret and artificially shameful
pleasures. Beware the talking
hands of Avarice, of the will to
accumulate what is neither used
nor consumed, keep sure and
silent that they belong to a dealing demon rather than a riddling
ghost. In other words, keep holidays, like possessions, in progressive circulation or serene
orbit, that they become neither
chains nor an army restless for
conquest.
The shadows and shades of
your experiences are your own.
Share them as you will, but to
truly "share" them, you must first
be asked. Abstain as a choice, as
precious choice is neither desperate nor pious, as another's Holy
Day should be no more your concern than another's chosen mate.
There's enough for all, and too
much to be had to be burdened by
having it all.
As a graduate student who
pays large fees to ASI and
feels as though I get nothing in
return for my fees, I was very
excited to recieve a flyer stating that there would be free
Cirinabons in celebration of
Valentine's day. So you can
imagine my anger to discover
that your flyer was indeed a
hoax and there were no free
Cinnabons to be had. I was in
the area of the library between
11:15 and 1:00, and I saw no
students with Cinnabons, no
signs announcing where the
Cinnabons could be, and no
replacement for the missing
Cinnabons.
I know this may seem petty,
but I pay alot. Give me my
freaking Cinnabons.

BYRACHELLRAYES
Pride Staff Writer
Brown's "Angels and Demons"). The
French police needed his expertise
inside the crime scene. But he really
isn't there to help.
Langdon is actually the prime suspect for the murder.
Bezu Fache, the captain of the
French police, brought Langdon
inside the Louvre only to interrogate him. While I expected one thing,
Brown quickly changed the pace
and brought a twist at the end of the
scene.
Again, I was hooked.
I wanted to know what happened
next.
The story suddenly becomes a learning experience. Langdon's descriptions inside the Louvre sounded like
a textbook (probably because Langdon is a professor). I found it refreshing because it actually made me feel
right inside the building.
The story shifts and Brown introduces Sophie Neveu. She is a cryptologist who also happens to be the
granddaughter of Sauniere. Suddenly,
Langdon and Sophie become fugitives and race against time to solve
the mystery.
But that's just half the book in a
This year, I didn't want to fail
prey into Hollywood's latest adaptation because I hate watching a movie
before reading the book.
So I finally finished Dan Brown's
"The Da Vinci Code."
I don't want to give the plot away
but the book begins with a murder
scene. Right away, Brown hooks me
in.
Jacques Sauniere is the curator of
the Louvre. He is murdered inside the
Grand Hall of the museum and the
plot begins.
The point of the story is NOT to
find the killer. That's just too easy.
Brown tells you who the killer is. But
before Sauniere died, he left a bunch
of clues pointing out the killer and the
key to an ancient secret.
That's where Robert Langdon
comes in. He is a Harvard Professor specializing in art history and
religious symbology. But Brown's
character is not the typical mystery
detective. He's smarter. He's so good
that Brown brought him back into
this novel (Langdon first appeared in
'Vinci
nutshell. There are secret societies
involved with the Vatican. There's
a great part where Langdon gives a
brief explanation behind the meaning of Leonardo Da Vinci's, "Mona
Lisa," and there's the history of the
Holy Grail included as well.
I'll stop right there and let you
decide if you want to know more.
After reading this book, I felt not
only refreshed but smarter. This
novel is listed as a fiction but somehow, I want to believe that everything is true. With all the controversy
surrounding this book, Brown manages to keep the reader educated and
guessing all the time.
The chapters are short and Brown's
cliffhangers and sharp twists make it
easy to read. The puzzles and clues
entertained and made it impossible
for me to put the book down.
"The Da Vinci Code," has been
on the best seller's list for over 146
weeks. Hollywood just couldn't wait
to adapt Brown's novel.
The movie will hit theaters on
May 19, this year. With Ron Howard
directing the film and Tom Hanks as
the lead role, this movie will definitely be a blockbuster.

One great thing about beer is the
remarkable number of different types
available, especially when it comes to
ingredients used in a given brewing process. Although pumpkin-flavored and
brewed beers probably sound distasteful to some and seasonal to others, if its
good enough it doesn't hurt to have a sip
of it year round.
The Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale is a
squash-tinted beer that is worth a taste in
any season. Brewed by the Buffalo Bill
Brewery in Hay ward, California, this
ale uses actual pumpkin in the brewing
process, with added spices common to
pumpkin pie to top it off. Surprisingly
mild in flavor, this ale pours orangeamber in color and has a smooth texture
and feel. Featuring a hint of pumpkin
flavor and aroma, Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale has just the right amount of
spices added to give it a perfect balance.
Nutmeg and cinnamon come through the
strongest as the lead spices, but do not
overpower the taste of pumpkin and ale.
To top this off there is little to no taste
of bitterness with this beer, the majority probably being overshadowed by the
pumpkin and spices.

�Put down something borrowed
a nd pick u p ' Something New'
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
It's been said that love knows
no boundaries, but the author of
that phrase must have forgotten
that life indeed does. Unfortunately in a case of love, life can
put a damper on the pursuit of
happiness. Perhaps the ability for
two individuals to overcome this
damper is a true measure of just
how deep love is.
"Something New" is a movie
about the ups and downs of love
seasoned with the implications
of interracial relations. All of
this is showcased through the
story of a single and successful
black woman whose path crosses
with a charming and witty white
man and unfolds in their journey
through a romance that is entirely
unfamiliar yet comforting on
both sides.
"Something New" is directed
by newcomer Sanaa Hamri whose
previous works are with Mariah
Carey for both her Intimate Portrait, and Around The World features. For Something New Hamri
teamed up with the more prevalent Kriss Turner who is best
recognized for her screenwriting
skills on the series
Everybody Hates Chris, and
TheBernieMac Show. Something
New is also a host to an appropriate ensemble of actors such as,
Sanaa Lathan, from the movies
Life, Alien Vs. Predator, and
Love and Basketball, and Simon
Baker from the movies The Ring
Two, Land of The Dead, and Red
Planet. Supporting actors and
actresses include Donald Faison,
Mike Epps, and Taraji Henson.
The movie opens up on the life
of strict and sophisticated Kenya
McQueen (Sanaa Lathan), a
woman at the prime of her career
who is in need of two things: a
man to share her life with, and a
landscaper for her undeveloped
backyard. Kenya's three best
friends, also successful black
women, insist that she "let go
and letflow,"encouraging her to
be more lax in her standards for
dating. That is of course, until her
coworker sets her up on a blind
date with a white man. Kenya
shuts down the ever so eager
Brian (Simon Baker) and proceeds as though she'll never see
him again, until she encounters
him at her coworkers engagement
party. Impressed by the landscape
work he's done for her coworker,
Kenya employs Brian to work on
her backyard with a strictly business mindset going in. However,
Kenya's heart gets the best of her
as shefindsherself breaking with
habit and embracing difference
through the inspiration Brian
gives her.
More important than the
romance that Brian and Kenya
share on screen are the issues
the two must face, which could
be determined as the bottom
line of the entire script. Interracial dating and marriages come
under the scrutiny of all onlookers, including family, close
friends and the most harsh, critics. Within this realm of intolerance the innermost workings of a
relationship, can be tested too as
each member must in one sense
be confident and comfortable in
their own skin, and in the other
sense be able to empathize with
the implications of their partners'
race. When this issue presented
itself in the movie, viewers were
given a glimpse of a truly impressive display of honesty and emotion through acting. Screenwriter,
Kriss Turner spared no details in
outlining scenes where the reality of politics enter a romance
at any given time with no warning and the relationship's partici-

pants must either successfully (or
unsuccessfully) cope with it. Such
interactions on screen brought the
audience at Krikorian's Auditorium 7 to a chilled silence.
All in all, "Something New"
delivers on its name; a refreshing and different perspective on
an old and unceasing issue in our
nation. It leaves audiences to consume in its message as a truthful
relay of what most US American
couples face, as well as presents
a whole new perspective on the
story of black and white.
H ow To ... M ake G uacamole
1
The ultimate snack: mix, mash & dip awa
BYDUSTIN FRANKS
Pride Staff Writer
Afineguacamole is rare when
stumbled upon; it makes a great
snack or an amazing appetizer
that can feed an entire party in
just a few quick and easy steps.
This simple to make, tasty treat
will only cost you a few bucks
and will add some spice to your
college dining appetite. Everyone's got their own taste preferences, but here's a great way of
getting started and devising your
own avocado masterpiece. This
recipe makes about a cereal bowl
full of guacamole heaven, here's
what you need.
- Bowl
- Knife
- Fork and Large spoon
- (2) Avocados
- (1) Lime
-(1) Tomato
- (Vi) Onion
- A dash of cilantro
- Garlic Salt
-Lemon Pepper
- Black Pepper
Step 1: Choose your avocados wisely, the softer the better.
They should be heavy in hand,
and have a clean oily smell. If the
avocados aren't ripe yet, throw
them together in a brown paper
bag. Apparently, once one starts
to soften up it releases a chemical
that makes the others do the same.
Slice the avocados in half and use
the knife to gently remove the pit.
Use the spoon like your scooping
ice cream, and remove the avocado from the skins and throw
them in the bowl. Tip: you can
cut up the avocado in long slices
before you scoop to make mixing
easier.
Step 2: Dice up the tomatoes,
onions and cilantro and throw
them into the bowl, or take a
couple of heaping spoonfuls of
pre-made salsa and throw them
in the mix. This saves time and
cleanup, and usually we all have
salsa sitting in the fridge.
Step 3: Cut your lime in half
and squeeze into the bowl, the
more you use the tangier your
guacamole becomes.
Step 4: Add about 3/4 teaspoon
of garlic salt into bowl. Then add
lemon pepper and black pepper
to your likening. Tip: add a little,
then taste, add a little then taste.
You don't want to destroy your
guacamole by adding to much
spice. The garlic salt is key, like
the lime, it's the secret ingredient.
Step 5: Mix all ingredients
together with a spoon, the more
you mash the smoother your
guacamole will be. If you like
it chunky, use a fork and lightly
stir, resembling the appearance
of thick mashed potatoes. Mess
around with what you like and
don't. Keep adding ingredients a
little at a time to your liking and
get creative, if you like it spicy,
throw some Tapatio or Cholula
hot sauce in.
Now that you've got your
homemade guacamole, throw
it on a salad, sandwich or have
it as a side with chips. Guacamole can spoil fast though, to
keep it green and fresh save the
avocado pit, place in back in
the bowl, cover and refrigerate
immediately. Never cut up the
pit of the avocado, it will make
your guacamole bitter with a
weird texture. Enjoy your snack
or spread and remember to share
with others.

once a tangled mass of steel girders and plastic cover sheets last
year has been replaced by a bustling collection of professor's and
department's offices with stylish,
modern classrooms. It's sudden,
and to some, unexpected appearance was followed by a flurry of

Interest groups on campus,
especially minority groups, need
student support, due to speculations that Cal State San Marcos
' could be at risk of acquiring the
reputation for being a narrowminded campus that engages in
hate crimes and discrimination.
The Lesbian Gay Bisexual
Transgender and Allies , Student
Organization keeps a low profile to avoid risks of being further alienated from campus life.
The LGBTA has been active on
campus for about three years and
has about approximately five to
ten active members. Even for a
smaller campus,fiveactive members is noticeably low. One explanation for this lack of participation, according to the LGBTA
members, is due to many students, who identify or associate
with the LGBTA, feeling reluctant to 'come out' to other students.
"Our campus is not a safe

As for hate crimes on campus,
By his understanding, LBGTA "we haven't really had any," said
President Albert Gengaling takes Miller.
There have been three incidents involving minority groups
in the last two years, all recorded
as 'minor'.'The most recent was
written in ink in a men's restroom.
It is still unclear what the vandal
meant by the words, "sauce bag".
Another incident was afightin the
parking lot of a Women's Studies dance that took place almost
a year ago. The LGBTA's banner
was also stolen. Other than these
reported incidents, the University Police Department does not
have an extensive record of hate
crimes committed on campus.
While the LGBTA students
may feel uncomfortable on
campus, there haven't been any
official threats.
"I don't have any reason to
believe that LGBTA students are
at a higher risk of mistreatment,
however, if anyone has something to report, we'd gladly take
it," said Miller.
Perhaps awareness is as much
a factor as reluctance, suggests CSUSM student, Heather
McKown. "I've never heard of
it(LGBTA), but I would definitely
go to a gender bender."

selected for the month of February, thefirstmonth of the series,
because a majority of the Human

emphasis in counseling.
The free lectures that the club
sponsors are designed to show
students their career options,
and to help direct them through
their necessary steps. The events
are typically either fundraisers
or activities designed to contribute to a community.
Some of the events include
the MS walk, the Nami walk,
volunteering for North County

exercises at a ropes course in
Big Bear. The club is also looking into volunteering at The

Lot E in order to make it to the
back lot, Lot H.
The Parking and Transportation Service Office, which is
located in the middle of both Lot
E and H, have seen pedestrians
nearly hit and have witnessed
intense disputes over parking.
With an increased number of
spots taken away from the students, many anticipate that even
more competition over what
little parking is now available to
students.
"They're slowly kicking us all
out to the dirt lot," said Gal State
San Marcos student, Brittany
Thomas. Another CSUSM student, Kristina Moore, expressed
her disapproval stating, "The faculty have a whole other lot, Lot E,
and it's never full."

Red Line Towing has been contracted to provide Cal State San
Marcos motorists with a stranded
driver service,* for the campus's
various parking lots.
For aflatdiscounted fee of $25
dollars, students can receive help
with vehicle unlocks, dead batteries, and spare tire mountings.
By contacting University Police,
through either any campus phone,
or using the blue emergency
phones which are always a direct
line to campus police, located in
every parking lot, students can be
connected with Red Line Towing.
Red Line will respond promptly
to the parking lot within approximately 20 minutes.
Students will have to decide for
themselves the value of this service, due to the large fee of $25
for simpler services like unlocking a vehicle. Nonetheless, if a
student is running late and lacks
both the capacity and desire to
change your spare or jump a battery, $25 is a small price to pay.
"I don't think I would ever personally use the service, while
my girlfriend will no doubt be
calling regularly," said student
Anthony Calloway. He continued
to say that "If she (Calloway's
girlfriend) spent $25 getting Red
Line to unlock her doors, instead
of calling me for her spares, I
think ! would be a little upset at
her wasting the money."
"Red Line Towing has not been
placed on any type of retainer fee
paid by the university; this is just
the best deal we found for students, after we shopped around
for services in the area," mentioned Lieutenant Doug Miller
of the University Police Department.
Students should keep in mind
that the person receiving the services will befinanciallyresponsible for all work done, at the
time services are rendered.
So far, there has been a negative response from students
concerning the sixteen spots
now designated for the faculty
and staff.
Despite
the
negative
remarks, Holmes remains
hopeful for the future. By Fall
2006, there will be a new lot
added next to Lot H and it
will be general parking for
students. Eventually, Campus
View Drive, the street leading
to Lot E, will continue south,
wrapping behind the faculty
parking lot.
"The new lot will be called
Lot F, and it will include
about 1500 new spaces,"
said Holmes. She also added
that students will have to go
through that new lot in order
to gain access to Lot H. Drivers will not be able to access
Lot H through Lot E.
Hopefully, this new change
will not be a huge inconvenience for students, especially
those who are night students,
added Holmes. Thankfully, in
the near future students can
look forward to a new student
lot that will alleviate the troubles of having to share the few
available spaces.

school and go somewhere different," said
Schroeder. In the past, dances have been
hosted at the Escondido Center for Performing Arts as well as Pechanga Casino,
but when planning for this years' event,
Schroeder anticipated that it would be fun
to party in a 'club-like' venue rather than a
formal one. "Hard Rock Café was fun, but
the maximum capacity is 50," said Schroeder. "Canes has the same kind of environment and vibe as Hard Rock Café, yet
Canes holds up to 800 people."
The Spring Fling is free to CSUSM students with a valid student ID, courtesy of
ASI funding. Guests are welcome to attend
for a nominal fee of $5. All attendees must
obtain tickets in advance to attend, since
tickets will not be sold or available at the
door. "Students are advised to get their
tickets ASAP," suggested Schroeder. The
last day to get tickets is Thursday, March
9, at 4:00 p.m.
"It is important for students to know

tion will be held simultaneously in three
separate rooms. Biological research and
other sciences will be held in UNIV 257,
psychology in UNIV 237, and all other
presentations in UNIV 373.
Judges are chosen based on their areas
of expertise, aligning judges appropriately
with the subject matter in the projects, said
Collins. Immediately after the competition, the judges will compile scores and
select finalists, which will be announced
on March 6.
CSUSMfinalistsare determined by the
same criteria used for the state competition. The written and oral aspects of the
research projects are evaluated via the following criteria: clarity Of purpose, appropriateness of methodology, interpretation
of results, value of the research or creative
activity, ability of the presenter to articulate the research or creative activity to a
card upon entering," added Schroeder. As
for the dress code, "there is no strict dress
code for this event," said Schroeder; however, Schroeder suggests dressing in clublike attire or appropriately for such a special event.
Although Canes is a bar, the event is not
only for the 21 and up crowd. All students
are welcome to attend, regardless of age.
Alcoholic beverages will be available for
students 21 and over, at the cash bar, at the
student's expense. Non-alcoholic beverages and food are free. Food will include:
pizza, quesadillas with sour cream, mini
taquitos, caliente wings, chicken fingers,
chips and salsa, with fresh vegetable and
cheese and cracker trays.

Schroeder, "we're going to dance the night

wide audience, organization of the material presented, and the presenter's ability
to handle questions from the jury and the
general audience, said Collins.
Finalists of the campus competition will
receive a certificate of recognition, a $50
cash award, and a paid trip to the state competition at CSU Channel Islands. The state
competition will be held on May 5 and 6.
Students will not receive academic credit
for participating in the competition; however, statefinalistsdo receive a cash award.
"The purpose of the competition is to
recognize outstanding student accomplishments in scholarly research and creative activity," said Collins. "Participating
in the competition is prestigious. It is an
excellent experience for the researcher,
and gives them a very significant experience to list on their resume. Some of our
participants are using this in their applications for doctoral programs throughout the
country."
Matthew Spears, a Cai State San Marcos
senior and literature and writing studies major, won second place in last year's
state competition in the "Humanities and
Letters" section, the undergraduate division, for his research project titled: "The
Canonicity of Cliché: Idiomatic Language
and Formulaic Diction in Beowulf and the
Heaney Translation", with Lance Newman
as his faculty mentor. Spears received a
$200 cash award and a certificate.
"I had a great time, of course!" mentioned Spears. "The application wasn't all
that difficult, since I had already had an
idea of what research I was going to submit
-the idea for my paper wasfromwork I had
done before in a class. The competition here
on campus was relaxed and low-key, and to
tell you the truth, I really didn't feel all that
nervous. I was one of thefinalistsselected
to go to the statewide competition and that
was an enjoyable experience as well. There
is a little question & answer session at the
end of every presentation (as there is in the
competition here), but it's really easier than
you think because you quickly discover
that you know more about the topic of your
research than they do," said Spears.
This year, there are 28 students participating in the campus-wide competition,
a significant increase from last year's 13
participants. According to Collins, there
were over 190 students representing the 22
CSU campuses in attendance at last year's
state competition. The students competed
in 22 different divisions.
"We are thrilled with the response to
this year's competition. Not only did we
double the number of entrants, but we
received submissions from areas that were
not represented last year," said Collins.
"We really would like to* have people see
this as a venue for showcasing research
from allfieldsof study."
Finalists from last year's competition
will be hosting this year's campus competition, and will be available in each room
to answer questions and solicit advice.
"First, don't be afraid to apply - all you
have to do is submit a 5 page paper, and
then give a 10 minute presentation, which
I might add, is in front of a friendly audience that wants you to succeed," explained
Spears. "Second, once you're actually in
the competition, make sure to have some
fun with it. See it as an opportunity to
have some fun, show off some of the great
research you've conducted in your classes
while a student at CSUSM, and as a way to
practice your public speaking, which will
be important when you have a job."
The campus competition is open to the
public, and free of charge. For more information regarding the competition, contact
Linda Collins at lcollins@csusm.edu, 760750-4028, or stop by the Office of Graduate Studies and Research in Craven Hall,

V-DAY, from page 1
site nestled at the highest of CSUSM's hills.
It can now be located behind and between the
University and Academic Hall buildings, yet
is only fully visible from near the FCB building, and the Palm Court. Perhaps its obscured
location added to student interest in the project as rumors circulated. During its construction, gossip spread that it would take several
more years than the official estimate to finish,
and once it had been 'completed,' new rumors
surfaced that the project was rushed and that
the building did not yet meet the necessary
building codes. These allegations came as a
surprise to David Dennis, project manager
with the University's Office of Planning,
Design and Construction.
Construction on Markstein Hall actually
began in May of 2004 and was finished early
January 2006, just a few weeks before classes
began. While the project was finished three
months earlier than the originally projected
date of completion in May 2006, Dennis
claims that it was built "in about average
time" for a project of its size and complexity.
"It's 99.9% complete" he said, "we just need
to finish the punch list," referring to the list
of minor and non-crucial repairs and replacements for the building, such as paint touch
ups and landscaping.
Rumors of professors forced prematurely
into partially built offices seemed a far cry
from the experience of Michael Pass, professor of Marketing, who teaches two classes and
enjoys his new office in Markstein Hall. "It's
wonderful," Professor Pass said in reference
to the building. "It's far more professional
looking." He also can't recall any negative
experiences moving in, or any sense that the
building wasn't complete. And with regards
to his new office: "it's great, better than the
other buildings on campus."
This sentiment was echoed by Political

Markstein Hall, a modern and professional design.
Science professor Anthony O'Halloran, who
also has an office in the new building. "I can't
recall anything not being completed ... and
this office is much better than any I would
have had back in Ireland," he remarked.
Many students have also been enjoying the
new building, and most agreed that the new
class room's "Harvard Case" design-with
large hardwood desks in a tiered, semicirclelike amphitheater with the professor in the
middle-created a more "professional environment".
Of course, not everyone admired the décor.
One student, who did not wish to be named,
commented on the industrial-style corrugated metal facades, saying "it looks like the
inside of a Chipotle [restaurant]". Another
student wryly remarked that the hallways on
the second and third floors were quite narrow,
but that the fourthfloor'shallways (where the
Photo by Z achary J. Simon / The Pride
dean's office is located) were much more spacious. Overall, though, the allegations of an
inadequate or incomplete facility have been
silenced since its opening, and in their place
there seems to be a general sense of satisfaction and pride in the new facility. "My wife
is coming to help me hang pictures tonight...
I'm going to use it as an excuse to show off
the classes," Professor Pass said.
With students and professors both pleased
with the facility, one can only hope that this
model will be followed for future campus projects. Current construction projects such as the
remodeling of Craven Hall, whose interior was
widely considered confusing and inefficient by
staff and students alike, would be extremely
well received. Quite likely, however, before
anyone gets a chance to see how that project
turns out, there will be plenty of time for the
staff and students to speculate on it.
Benjamin Franklin coined
the phrase "lord of another
man's purse" to refer to the title
of those with steady paying
habits. UCSD professor, David
Vickers, refuted this argument
in his Feb. 16 presentation on
the history of US debt.
The problem of personal
borrowing in the creation of
personal debt was the focal
point of Dr. Vickers' lecture.
He explained to his audience,
mixed of CSUSM students and
faculty, the many layers to this
issue, as well as a comparison
of credit in colonial days versus
the present.
Vickers, originally from
Canada, described the most
common reasons that people
borrow in today's society, such
as emergencies, investments,
better living, and of course,
school. People today also have
the ability to borrow based on
their demonstration of great
payment history (credit score)
and steady income flow. One
major aspect of borrowing that
has changed in more recent
transactions is the rise of internet use and therefore decline in

Unite to Win!
Rally for affordable quality education and fair contractsl
In 2003 and 2004, California cut half a billion dollars in state funding for
the CSU. To help get through tough times, faculty and staff took a pay
freeze. Students saw fees skyrocket along with class sizes. Sections were
cancelled. Advising appointments took months to get.
The economy finally started to recover this year, but instead of putting
new resources in the classrooms, the Trustees spent $1.2 million on huge
raises for top administrators. They could have used that money to offer
262 more sections that would enroll 10,000 students. After ail, the housing
allowance for presidents is more than the yearly pay of many professors!
To top it all off, after raising student fees every year since 2002, the
Trustees want to raise them again-10% per yearforthe next four years.
The CSU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline!
Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the
CSU administration is pushing hard for cutbacks in compensation and Job
security. They want to get rid of reliable cost-of-living raises for faculty
who are already underpaid. They want to dump three-year contracts for
lecturers, making them scramble for work every semester. And they want
to gut the FERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the
courses students need.
We can't let the CSU administration destroy our school and our jobs!
And the only way to stop them is if students, staff, and faculty unite to say,
"No more cutsi Rebuild the CSU!"

THE PRIDE
Faith & Fun: A history of Mardis Gras
French holiday intended to use excess as preparation for fasting
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
Mardi Gras is perhaps the most famously
fabulous andfree-of-chargedesignated party
day in the world, perhaps second only to New
Year's Eve. The celebration has come to epitomize wild images of insouciant dancing,
drinking and exotic exhibition. Other less
risque aspects include beads, masks, Cajun
food and plastic-baby King Cakes. One may
therefore be surprised to learn some of its
stricter religious origins.
According to World Book Encyclopedia
online, Mardi Gras celebrations date back to
ancient Roman customs ofmerrymaking and
feasting before a period of religious fasting.
Held on the day before the Catholic holiday
of "Lent," Mardi Gras' actual date depends
on the date of Easter, thus why the celebration occurs predominantly where Catholicism has enjoyed influence. This year, Mardi
Gras will take place on February 28, as the
date is always set 46 days before Easter.
Mardi Gras, which means Tat Tuesday' in
French, may have received its name from the
French custom of parading a fat ox through
towns and villages on Shrove Tuesday. In
Germany, the holiday is called "Fastnacht,"
while the English call it "Pancake Day".
The tradition ofMardi Gras wasfirstintroduced to America by French colonists in the
early 1700's. It became very popular in New
Orleans, later branching out to other southern states. In Alabama, Florida, and several
counties in Louisiana, Mardi Gras is a 'legal'
(often incarnated as 'bank') holiday.
To this day the most famous Mardi Gras
celebration has been held in New Orleans
and it attracts tourists from around the
world. Social organizations, called 'krewes,'
manage andfinancethe parades and other
festivities. Mardi Gras is actually one day,
but is preceded by a weeks-long carnival
season whose theme changes each year.
During this 'Carnival Season,' balls, parties,
parades, and feasting are especially popular.
Mardi Gras then signifies the climax and
culmination of this season. On Ash Wednesday, religious party-goers will sober up and
begin preparation for Lent and Easter.
Even with its modern popularity, Mardi
Gras has managed to maintain its symbolic
roots. Two of the most popular traditions
associated with Mardi Gras are King Cakes
and die tossing of trinkets. King Cakes are
ring-shaped pastries usuallyfilledwith cinnamon andfrostedwith icing and tri-colored
sprinkles. Purple, yellow and green sprinkles
were meant to represent justice and faith. A

the cakes and whoever happens to get that
piece with the baby inside will be elected
to host the next party or will often become
King/Queen of the celebration.
Another popular tradition during Mardi
Gras is the tossing and receiving of trinkets.
Masked krewe members ride on the parade
floats and toss various types of trinkets to
the crowds. Such items can rangefromplastic-beaded necklaces and faux doubloons
to plastic cups and hats. Just shout. "Throw
me some beads, mister" and you too can go
home with bags full of these coveted Mardi
Gras souvenirs.
Contrary to popular lore, getting coveted
Mardi Gras beads does not require revealing certain body parts. "There is so much
thrown that there is no way you are not going
to go home with a bag full of goodies," said
Arthur Hardy, an author and television personality, during an interview with National
Geographic magazine. According to Hardy,
the notorious practice of "flashing" for beads
has nothing to do with the real spirit ofMardi
Gras, and will only be found among young
people who feel they have license to behave
in such a manner.

attaching personality to credit, which Vickers
implies as the trouble with borrowing and lending today.
The presentation consisted of no real visual
aids other than Benjamin Franklin's coined term
scribbled onto the white board of University Hall
100. Vickers led off his discussion with a comparison of the historical contexts and concepts
of debt that are prevalent in today's society. In
colonial times, farmers utilized a credit system
not entirely unlike the practices of our country
in present day. A man could borrow services
or equipment from any of his neighbors and in
return he would repay this loan through services
as well as with food or the lending of tools. In a
system like this, each man worked in accordance
with a face-to-face agreement made between
borrower and lender. Such agreements were
hard to renegotiate, credit transactions carried
little interest, and loans had less of an urgency
for payback, thus loans had a much longer life
span. "The only indication to a farmer's neighbors that he could be trusted was his word; words
carried much more weight in a primarily barter
economy," explained Vickers.
Today, the practice of borrowing and lending
is a bit more complicated. Debts are negotiated
between a computer screen and a human, making
them much less personal. Terms of a loan can be
renegotiated at almost any time with little to no
sense of connection or attachment between lender
or borrower. This in turn adds a sense of unpredictability to the process of lending and borrowing, givingriseto consumer burial beneath bills,
bills, and more bills.
When Vickers concluded his presentation he
opened thefloorto questions from the audience
where he discussed issues such as the necessity
versus the option of establishing credit. Vickers
appeared entirely receptive to the constructive
feedback and positive audience reactions, closing with a statement that he would rethink and
further develop some of the claims in his study.
�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Pride Staff Writer
The
past
three weeks
from American athletes
haven'texactly
been the high
point in our
country's
long history of sports, and I am
not just talking about the Winter
Olympics.
American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, however, typifies exactly what's wrong with
American athletes. In the past
15 years, American athletes
have come across this mentality
of preferring to look cool losing
than winning in a boring fashion. For those of you who have
shunned the Winter Olympics
because the paint drying channel
is more entertaining, here is what
the proud American did.
Jacobellis was competing in
the Women's Snowboard Cross,
which is basically a race down
a hill against three other risktakers. Early into the medal race
the three other riders lost control
and Jacobellis had the race won
if she just stayed on her board.
Being the true American that she
is, however, she felt the need to
attempt a trick on the final jump
right before the finish line. Mind
you, in this event the only thing
that counts is crossing the finish
line. Of course, she bombs her
trick and falls down which allows
one of her competitors the time to
pass her up and cause Jacobellis
to get silver.
Again, in true American style,
she tried to lie about what she
was trying to do. In the interview right after the event, she
claimed that she needed balance
so she grabbed her board in mid
air to do so, but she didn't know
if she wanted to do method air or
indie air. In that situation neither
was necessary. She didn't have to
touch the board.
When Bob Costas interviewed
her I wanted to jump through
the TV because she downplayed
the whole thing, talking about
how she was glad to get a medal
and what matters to her is that
she will always be known as an
Olympian. I would like, for just
once, an American athlete to go
in front of a camera and just say,
"I screwed up," or "I don't know
what I was thinking, but it was
stupid."
I have met a few American
Olympians, some who have
won gold and some who have
won silver, and those who have
won silver have admitted they
screwed up, but they didn't screw
up because of showboating, like
Jacobellis.
The thing that bugs me more
than people not taking responsibility for their own actions is
people who don't realize how fortunate they are to be where they
are. Barry Bonds, Ricky Williams, and Sammy Sosa all hit a
nerve with the American public
the past few weeks.
Bonds spent all last week complaining about being a baseball
player. Oh boo hoo Mr. Roid,
poor you, you have to swing a
bat and throw a ball for a living.
He spent last week saying that
this is going to be his last season,
then saying he isn't quite sure,
then saying he doesn't care about
being 47 home runs away from
the all-time home run record
and then saying, "ouch my body
hurts." Seriously, who complains
about getting paid to play a sport
for a living? Well, I guess it isn't
as bad as turning down money to
play a sport.
Sammy Sosa may not be an
American athlete, but he sure
acts like one. Sosa had only one
offer from a MLB club to play
baseball this season and that was
a one year contract for 500,000
dollars from the Washington
Nationals. Sosa went on to say
that it was offensive to be offered
such little money. How many of
you would be insulted if someone
threw 500 grand at you to play
baseball? There are many MLB
players who can't get a contract,
like the sultan of syringes, Jose
Canseco, who would play catch
with a live hand grenade for that
kind of money.
The dumbest athlete last week
had to be Tommy Chong's doobie
double from "Up in Smoke",
Ricky Williams, when he was
notified that he is facing a year
suspension because it seems as
though he failed a fourth drug
test. Apparently, Ricky likes
green plants more than green
paper because I've lost count of
how much money he's lost with
these failed drug tests. If this suspension goes through, his career
is likely over because the NFL
isn't too keen on running backs
over 30 years old that would
rather light up a joint than light
up the scoreboard. Even the potheads who heard about this story
were like, "Dude, you're giving
us a bad name." Of course they
barely just got word about it yesterday.
Finally, the kicker of them all
doesn't involve an American athlete, but he is Canadian, so geographically it's close enough. Of
late, Wayne Gretzky looks as bad
as a crack addict, due to the stress
of not medaling in the Winter

Olympics, losing his mom and
grandmother in a three week
span, and the realization that his
assistant coach and wife were
caught up in an illegal gambling
ring. As time consuming as those
first three things are, how can
you not know your wife and best
friend are gambling hundreds of
thousands of dollars? Also, the
one thing I find most interesting
about this situation is that generally women don't have severe
gambling problems. It is usually
males who are prone to betting
thousands of dollars at the drop of
a puck. It is usually male athletes
who find people to make bets for
them so there isn't a paper trail
to their name. As a male athlete,
who do you trust more than your
own wife? Enough said.
I wish some of these people
would count to 10 or even 100
before they did anything in their
life. Maybe then that would prevent some of these bonehead
actions. Is the nation just less
intelligent now, or did athletes in
the past actually understand how
lucky they were to be doing what
they were doing and just tried not
to screw up their position in life?

�Response to lock talk with Josh
Robbins Report
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
Censorship! Censorship!
May these words plunge from
the heavens like dull arrows in a
bright sky; may god allow them
to reach the good people of San
Marcos to alert them of the real
assault--an assault on expression that occurs in dark rooms by
newspaper editors who stir brews
of power and irrationality.
My friends and colleagues: It's
passive voice, but the Robbins
Report was censored.
Last week I responded in a
revised version of my column to
the factual inaccuracies and poor
reasoning that comprised the previous week's letter to the editor. I
defended myself, and I defended
the honor, of argumentation. The
piece was about truth and reasoning. It was nearly a PSA for education.
"It's just not goingin," my editor
said as he tossed a couple of turd
logs at the wall. We (the editor
in chief and he) don't want folks
carrying on arguments in "The
Pride"; we don't want to see anything else about Women's Studies
in "The Pride"; blah, blah, blah,
blah, blah and blah.
I know, these folks are editors
and they are responsible for editing the paper into a quality product. Like Smokey said in the
movie 'Friday', "and you know
this, man!"
My contention is that my
Fuhrer's decision to edit my
column all the way off of the page
was an irrational decision
While my revised column
included multiple occurrences of
the term "Women's Studies", they
appeared only in the context of
discussions about poor reasoning.
While some might have cited my
column for transporting an argument across campus lines, others
might have viewed it as being
intellectual dialogue between
two scholars with strong and very
diverse opinions. The smarter of
the others might have even recognized the fact that I focused in on
the arguments and abstracted the
author.
I made this case, but my editor
upheld the decision. The difference is that this time he threw less
turd logs at the wall.
They censored a column that
bears my surname and leaks my
blood and I'm still lying awake at
night without an explanation. Try
this question guys: What the heck
is a personal op-ed column if you
can't be your own person and can't
express certain opinions?
You can say whatever you want
Jason, just not this or that, and not
to that person.
Readers: I'll talk to you folks
about more substantial issues next

�It's always a man's world September 11: a movieP
BY PIYAMAS J. Y.
SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
According to the CSUSM
web site http://www.csusm.
edu/newsmedia/background/
stu-enrollhtm, fall 2005 student enrollment consisted of
63.5 percent females and 36.5
percent males. Since CSUSM
has a majority female population, I thought Pdfocussome
attention on some femalerelated issues and concerns.
I recently overheard a comment on Valentine's Day that
wouldn't have disturbed me
a few months ago but fortunately since the start of my
psychology of women's class
this semester, things that
have been lying dormant in
the shadows of my mind have
now been brought into the
light. The comment I overheard was from a courier at
work griping over the woes
and obligations of men during
the Valentine's Day holiday.
"It's a woman's world," he
said. My apologies for rattling
the very foundation this society has been built upon, but
it is definitely not a "woman's
world." For those of you who
are not fortunate enough to
take Psych 350, here is just
a morsel from the buffet of
knowledge and perspective it
provides.
If this was a femaleempowered world, strength
would be defined as childbirth and spirit, not how
much weight someone can
bench. All males would have
a curfew since they are the
main perpetrators of violence
against women. Once the
curfew was in effect, females
could roam the streets without fear of harm. Men take
for granted the luxury of
being able to walk around
without fear for their safety
or lives 24 hours, seven days
a week. Females can't even
feel 100 percent safe in the
comfort of their own homes.
Statistics ofrapescommitted
in the United States remove
one of the essential elements
of the statistic, the criminal.
Instead of wording statistics
like "every second, three
women are raped", why aren't
statistics worded to include
the committer of the crime?
Applicable statistics should
state that "a man rapes a
woman every three seconds."
There is only one prototype
for the perfect female figure.
A woman basically must be
skinny, almost boyishly so,
yet have huge breasts. How
many females in the population canfitinto that mold? Yet
males aren't given the same
matchbox to fit into. Handsome can mean a variety of
sizes and shapes. Men can be
chunky, slim, tall, or short
and still be considered attractive by society's standards.
Females have also given into
the injustice by trying to fit
the mold. Makeup is utilized
because females don't wake
up attractive the way men
do. Numerous diet plans are
in abundance to help females
achieve the ''perfect" figure.
People try to downplay the
injustice females suffer by
depersonalizing those who
demand their voices be heard.
They refer to those brave
individuals with slurs such as
"bra burners" and joke about
them being so extreme that
they grow out their armpit
and leg hair. Feminism is not
a negative word that should
induce emotions of shame.
Feminism should be a roar
resonating from the souls
of individuals, males and
females, with the end result
being an eruption of pride,
strength, and unity.
Everyone has a mother,
sister, daughter, girlfriend,
wife, or femalefriend.Males
should be aware that even
though they may walk out the
same door to start their day as
the females in their lives, they
walk into a different world.
BY ALFRED CHU
Special to The Pride
September 11 was a day that shocked
Americans as no other single day ever
had previously. In the following weeks,
we glued ourselves to the television
watching the footage caught from that
dreadful day as well as waiting for
recent updates. In the months and years
that followed, books, publications,
endorsements, charities, documentaries, etc have all touched on that event
However there's one more medium that
hasn't directly exploited that event: the
Hollywood Motion Picture.. .until now.
Paramount Pictures, director Oliver
Stone and actor Nicholas Cage are currently in production of "World Trade
Center". Thefilmwill focus on the true
story of John McLoughlin and William
J. Jimeno, who were the last two survivors rescued from the rubble of Ground
Zero. Only in production, Stone has
already issued statements to the media
defending thefilmand rebutting against
criticism. The film will be shot in Los
Angeles on a sound stage while news
footage of the event will be added separately. Stone and the producers have
also met with the 9/11 families to retain
accuracy as well as consent. According to USA Today, Stone has promised
sensitivity on the subject, and that's all
well and good but then again, Stone
stated I believed Bush Sr. when he said
"Read my lips: no new taxes."
Let's break it down like a fraction.
First, we can all agree that Hollywood
has a reputation of exaggerating, dis-
torting, etc true stories and events.
We've seen this done time and again.
Second, this is another example of Hollywood looking for new material to
produce onfilm.I guess constant adaptations and remakes can't always be
lucrative. Third, Hollywood has high
hopes of making money off this event.
Fourth, we all know controversy sells
("The Passion of the Christ"). That's
nothing new. Fifth, Stone has a reputation of making controversial films
("Platoon"). Would you really want
"controversy" surrounding an event
such as this? I think not. Sixth, if this
film should bomb critically and/or
financially, either way, Stone's career is
close to over. And lastly, Stone promised sensitivity but when push comes to
shove, who is he going to be more loyal
to, the audience or the people signing
his paycheck?
I'm not banning the film nor am
I condemning it, although that day
might come when I see it. Yet it's too
soon to be making a film about September 11 and more importantly, too
sensitive of a subject. Having lived
across the Hudson River in New Jersey
during that time, I still keep in contact
with friends who lost someone during
the attack. I still keep in contact with
those who witnessed the collapse of
the World Trade Center. To this day, I
still have same feelings for the victims
as well as the perpetrators. It was one
of the rare moments where we were
brought together through a commonality, if only for a short while. Mr. Stone,
stand down on this one.

�How To...
Celebrate
MARDI GRAS
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
The throwing of beads, invitations to masquerade balls, purple,
green and gold decorations lining
the streets can only mean one
thing - Mardi Gras!
According to Holidays.net,
Mardi Gras was brought to New
Orleans due to its richness in
French Culture in 1699. Mardi
Gras season actually starts on
Jan. 6, the "Epiphany holiday",
according to Carnival.com,
which is twelve days after Christmas and until midnight on Mardi
Gras day (Fat Tuesday).
The official colors of Mardi
Gras are purple, green and gold,
which were established in 1872
by Rex, King of Carnival. Each
color has a particular meaning,
for instance, purple means justice, green represents faith, and
gold equals power.
According to MardiGras.com,
Mardi Gras began as pagan holiday to celebrate the end of winter
and coming of spring. Since the
celebration was so popular, the
Catholic Church kept the tradition, but placed some limits on it
by stating that Mardi Gras festivities were only to last from Three
King's Day to Ash Wednesday.
Basically, Mardi Gras is all about
enjoying the appetite of life by
feasting and partying before the
fasting of Lent.
You don't have to be from New
Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras,
because on Fat Tuesday, Feb.
28, in downtown San Diego's
Gaslamp Quarter, from 7 p.m.
to 12 a.m., they will be having
their own Mardi Gras festivi-
ties. There will befivelive stage
performances, the G Street Party
Stage located on 6th Avenue and
G Street will feature DJ Marc
Thrasher, NRG, Polyester and
the Platforms and KC and the
Sun Shine Band. On the E Street
Club Stage, located North of E
Street and 5th Avenue, DJ's Erick
Diaz & Adam Salter with Siesta
Records, Scooter and Lavelle and
Miss Lisa will be performing.
On 4th Avenue, Tipitina Stage
located on 4th Avenue and Island
Avenue will be showing DJ Mac,
The Frappe' Brass Band, The
Wild Apache Mardi Gras Indians, The 504 Brass Band, and
Kirk Joseph Backyard Groove.
The K Street Gaslamp Stage on
6th Avenue and K Street features
DJ Scott Martin, Dirty Sweet,
Lady Dottie and the Diamonds,
Truckee Brothers, and Reeve
Oliver. Finally, on G Street,
between 4th and 5th Avenue, is
the G Street Lips Experience.
Mardi Gras in the Gaslamp
Quarter is presented by Southern Comfort, so be sure to grab a
Southern Comfort Hurricane, as
they will be served all night! The
fun doesn't stop there; at 8:30
p.m. there will be a parade that
spans eight blocks down Gaslamp
Quarter and lasts about 35 to 40
minuets.
Local radio stations are getting in on the action as well. 101
KGB will have afloatand a booth
set up at the event. They will be
giving away free passes and winners will get to ride on the float.
Dana from Rock 105.3 says
they will also have a float in the
parade.

event for 21 and over only. Also,
no still or video cameras will be
allowed in the event. Dan Flores,
the Senior Marketing Manager with the Gaslamp Quarter
Association, said that last's year
Mardi Gras was "very successful," which made it possible for
such bands as KC and the Sun
Shine Band to perform this year
and give "emerging bands a
chance to perform." Dan Flores
hopes people will get to discover
new bands, and have a good time
while giving back to the community. Some of the proceeds go
to keeping the streets clean and
safe. The great thing about Mardi
Gras in the Gaslamp Quarter is
that you don't have to be in New

University Village Apartments plan to double
occupancy in single-rooms by Fall 2006
BY KATIE ROWE
Pride Staff Writer
University Village Apartments
are expected to double the occupancy in single-bedroom dormitories, accommodating eight students in some of the apartments,
beginning in the fall semester of
2006.
University Village currently
consists of three buildings that
offer two kinds of apartmentstyle floor-plans available to students. Both floor-plan apartments
were initially arranged to accommodate four students, giving
students the choice between two
double occupancy bedrooms
with two baths, or four singlebedrooms with two baths. How-
ever, this fall, all students will be
sharing a roommate in the four
bedroom floor-plans, increasing
occupancy at UVA to accommodate an additional 100 students.
According to Lt. Doug Miller,
there are 497 students currently
living on campus in the University Village Apartments. The
additional student residency will
increase to house nearly 600 tenants.
The plan for University Village in fall 2006 is to expand the
occupation in two of its three
buildings, according to Bridget
Blansha, the director of Student
Life and Leadership. The four
bedroom apartments in the two
buildings will be converted to
support six students each. Each

apartment will have two single
rooms and two double rooms.
The bedrooms that will be converted into shared rooms are just
a little more than half the size of
the bedroonTs shared in the two
bedroom floor-plan apartments.

Sandra Punch, event coordinator
for the Etiquette Dinner.
The Etiquette Dinner first
started because of requests made»
by students.
"It is very common for employers to invite prospective employees out for a meal during the
recruiting process, just so they
can see the applicant in a different environment, to see how they
handle themselves," Punch said.
"We found that in having this
dinner, students can go through
the entire dining experience
from start to finish."
Besides finally learning the
use of "that extra fork," the
dinner focuses on mannerisms
and posture. This event has been
organized for five years with
excellent reviews by students,
Nineteen international Japanese students from the American
Language and Culture Institute
are enjoying the campus life at
California State University San
Marcost through a month-long,
all-expense-paid
scholarship
focused on refining English language skills and experiencing
American culture.
To celebrate the conclusion of
their visit and receive participation certificates, the students will
be performing a traditional Japanese dance in Commons 206 on
Friday, March 10, from 2:00 to
2:30 p.m.
The students attend Osaka
Gaigo Yumiuri College of International Business in Japan, and
their participation in this program, CSUSM's American Culture Experience, is an educational requirement for Japanese
students while enrolled in their
second year of college.
The program "prepares international students for study in a U.S
university or college," according to the ALCI website. Visiting CSUSM provides students
with the resources to enhance
their English skills. During their
stay, students are able to take
advantage of the many resources
offered on campus, including the
opportunity to use facilities, such
as the Kellogg Library, the Clarke
Field House and the University
Village Apartments. In addition
to these facilities, ALCI students
work with helpful and friendly
instructors, most of which hold
advanced degrees and have
extensive experience in English
language education, to enhance
language skills.
While academic study and
language proficiency is highly
stressed, the students participating in the American Culture
Experience also attend various
activities outside the classroom.
Recently, the students have been
to Disneyland, Sea World and
Dixon Lake Park. Their monthlong visit and study in San
Marcos will conclude this Friday
with a certificate ceremony and
performance.
Many students participating
in the program agreed that the
campus experience has been positive and educational. Several students commented that direct contact with native English speakers
has improved their own language
abilities and provided opportunities to gain new friendships. And
naturally, many students spoke
of the region's exceptional South-
era California weather and about
meeting friendly people.
"This experience is my treasure!" said Aya Tomita. One of
Tomita's favorite stops during
her visit was the Carlsbad outlet.
"There were many shops. I think
I will never be tired of them, even
if I walk around a whole day!"
While most of their experiences during their visit have been
positive, some students expressed
some feelings of culture shock.
Many agreed that American cuisine has been difficult for them to
adjust to. Lack of personal transportation^ such as having a car,
also posed some challenges.
"I noticed that it's difficult to
make myself understood," said
Photo courtesy of ACLI
Manabu Yamane. "I expected
that I could speak more fluently."
Their month-long visit and
study at Cal State San Marcos
has definitely been filled with
learning experiences. The students expressed feelings of reaffirmed values, personal growth
and formulation of future goals.
Because of their time here, many
have learned the value of good
communication, friendship, and
family. Some students have also
decided that they want to study
abroad in other countries as well.
"The most important thing that
I have learned so far is to be flexible, and try everything I'm interested in," said Aya Okada. "Time
flies unbelievably fast."

�March celebrates Women's HER-story Month
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
ASI will sponsor a Sex Toys
Workshop in celebration of
Women's History Month, among
many other planned events and
activities to take place in support
for the campus series of Women's
HER-story Month celebration.
This workshop has been one
of the most popular events each
year, and this year is expected
to be no different. The Sex Toys
Workshop is free for students and
the general public. The event is
scheduled for Tuesday, March 7,
and will be held in Commons 206
at 7 p.m.
"Sex Toys was packed during
the last year's workshop,"
explained Cheyenne Bany director of Women's Issues. "We
couldn't get a bigger room this
year, so come early."
The workshop is not just any
ordinary presentation, but an
enticing sexual education lesson,
complete with props. The night
will begin with a lecture on sexual
anatomy with Dr. G and Passion
Party expert, Crystal Folk.
"Students will learn more
about themselves, and find alternative views for their bodies,"
said Barr.
The second part of the night
will be a Tupperware party,
except there's no Tupperware,
mentioned Barr. The audience
will get to preview some sex toys
and learn how to use them. Then,
at the end of the night, there will
be a free raffle to win a few of
the toys and a chance to buy the
items that were showcased.
Following the workshop,
the next Women's HER-story
event will be the movie, "North
County," detailing the major
Sexual Harassment case: Jenson
vs. Eveleth Mines. The event will
be at 8 p.m. at the "The Clarke."
Women's HER-Story Month
has a variety of other events to
offer students this year. Although
there are many returning popular
previous events, such as Sex Toys
Workshop and a performance
from Slam poet Bridget Gray, the
month-long celebration will feature new events and have a different focus this year.
"This year is focused on race
and cultural issues," said Barr.
"Over half of the events are of
women from a different culture,
different country, or different
faith."
However, this wasn't preplanned for the theme. This year,
there has been an increase of
support for Women's HER-Story
Month from different departments and student organizations
who wanted to bring their per-

lived in University Village.
However, Blansha assures, "If you look
at the size of the personal space, it is still
much larger than the average size, compared with other universities."
While some students are concerned
that doubling up will increase conflict
arid other problems in University Village,
campus officials aren't worried.
"Statistically, 100 more people will have
a minimal affect on safety in the dorms.
Sixty-six percent of the students on
campus are female, and females are statistically less violent," said Lt. Miller.
According to Blansha, the task group
working to increase the number of students has analyzed the effect that this
increase may have. After lengthy discussions and talking to other universities that
have implemented similar changes, the
task group concluded that the change will
spectives to the table.
Arts and Lectures and ASI
will also be presenting LUNAFEST 2006, an event showcasing a
national film festival with short
films by, for, and about women.
LUNAFEST will be held on
Thursday, March 9, in ARTS 240
at 2:30 p.m.
On Friday, March 10, the new
fundraiser for ASI Women's
Center is the LUNAFEST Anniversary Fundraiser. This event is
the five-year anniversary edition
of LUNAFEST and is sponsored
by the USUAB, Arts and Lectures, ASI, the Women's Studies
Program, and the Student Life
and Leadership Multicultural
Program.
"I hope that this will become an
annual tradition as ihe fundraiser
for the ASI Women's Center,"
said Barr.
Before the films start, there
will be an auction and a wine and
cheese reception. This fundraiser
is the only event that's not free to
the public. The entrance donation for Cal State San Marcos
students is $15. Other attendees
are required to pay $25. Attendees must purchase in advance, at
Commons 207. This event will
be held in "The Clarke" Grand
Salon at 6 p.m.
On Tuesday, March 14,
Giovanna Chesler will show her
have an overall positive affect and that
steps will be taken to avoid conflicts.
As the number of students living on
campus increases, the number of staff for
the housing will also increase. There will
be more Resident Assistants to help students avoid and resolve conflict and to help
them adjust. The RAs will also be focused
on getting students involved with campus
life.
The reason for doubling-up room occupancy is due to University President Karen
Haynes' mission of making increased
enrollment and student life a key priority for
her administration. This past fall and spring,
Cal State San Marcos exceeded its target
enrollment and is anticipating a growth of
more than six percent in Fall 2006.
At this point, the only option to accommodate more students is to double-up
occupancy until 2010, when more student-housing is scheduled to be available,
according to Blansha.

of Menstruation?" He will be

control which allow women and
young girls to stop their periods for great lengths at a time.
This presentation will be held in,
ARTS 240 at 6 p.m.
On Wednesday, March 15,
there will be a lecture by Ibtesam
A1 Atiyat on women, Islam, and
politics in the Arab world. This
event will be held in UNIV 370
at 11:30 a.m.
On Thursday, March 16, there
will be a performance from Linda
Pershing's class, presenting their
projects through dance, spoken
word and artwork on their experiences of oppression in sexism
and racism. This event will be
held in ACD 304 at 11:30 a.m.
On Monday, March 20, the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and
Transgender Student Organization (LGBTSO) will be presenting "Inside Out-LGBTSO's Drag
Show." This will be a celebration
of breaking out of gender roles
with professional and local ¡drag
stars. This event will be held in
"The Clarke," Grand Salon at 12
p.m.
One of the most important
events, according to Barr, will
be "In Your Face," an awareness

Diane Malone, associate director of Planning Design and Construction, explained
that the state does not pay for student housing, so it must to be self-sufficient.
The process to build more housing on
campus is not an easy one, according to
Blansha. The process begins by conducting market studies, which analyzes things
such as the need for housing and what kind
of housing would be best. The study also
takes student opinion into account. This
step of conducting a market study is currently taking place. After a plan is formed,
it needs to go through a lengthy approval
process through the Chairman's Office.
Phase two of student housing won't necessarily be apartment complexes.
On campus housing is one major way
to get students involved with the campus,
and Blansha agrees that the increase in
residency at UVA is one of the approaches
to increasing the campus's major goals to
enhancing student involvement.
on Tuesday, March 21. The day is
divided into four features. At 10
a.m. in the Library Plaza, many
organizations and programs will
present global issues of violence
against women. At 11:30 a.m. in
ACD 102, a panel of representatives from different faiths will
discuss women's contributions
from different religions. At 4 p.m.
in "The Clarke," Grand Salon,
Katherine DeGrow will speak
about women's place in Christianity. To close, "The Clarke,"
Grand Salon will feature the
movie "Memoirs of a Geisha," at
8 p.m.
Women's HER-Story Month
will conclude its festivities on
Thursday, March 23, with Dr.
Lorraine Bayard de Volo lecture on how war and peace are
implicated for women. This event
will be held in the "The Clarke,"
Grand Salon at 11 a.m.
"I really hope that we get more
turnouts to give more awareness," said Barr.
Although Women's HERStory Month is only celebrated
in March, ASI Women's Center
is hoping that the celebration will
b e year-round,
"It's been a year-round support
for women's issues and gender
related issues," said Barr. "I hope
to make HER-Story Month into
HER-Story Year."

beverages. It is only upon the sale of
alcohol to the minor that police officers
are able to make an arrest.
"The program gives CSO's the
chance to participate in something
new, making the job more exciting,"
said Miller. In addition to providing
more opportunity for CSO students,
the program is another outlet through
which campus police can work to alleviate problems with alcohol on and
around campus.
Last week, CSUSM police made two
DUI arrests; both incidents involved
the drivers exceeding the legal blood
alcohol limit by nearly three times the
amount.
With St. Patrick's Day approaching,
campus police strive to ensure student
safety by educating the campus on the
effects of alcohol, and eliminating sales
to minors by local vendors.

THE PRIDE
Women's her-story month starts off 'Gray'
Slam poet brings
performance to
CSUSM
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
ASI hosted its first of many events for
Women's Her-Story Month last Thursday,
March 2. With her fist in the air, Slam Poet
Bridget Gray closed the night with a performance dedicated to her gender.
This was Gray's fourth year performing
at Cal State San Marcos, now before a full
audience, half familiar with her work, half
just getting ready to meet her.
The night began with a small introduction, where Gray emphasized her last
name, taken from her mother's second
husband and kept not merely for her half mons presents Def Jam Poetry," but most

was quiet and private.
Her Slam poetry style is reminiscent of
"I had mixed feelings because the stanmany featured on HBO's "Russell Sim- dards were very rigid," explained Gray.

"They had an outline instead of letting me
write in my own voice."
She then remembered one of her Communications teachers. While she was reciting a poem, the teacher had made a racial
comment about how black people spoke.
When Gray had said the word "earth," the
teacher mentioned that black people said
"urf."
"It was a stereotype," said Gray. "How
could a teacher say something like that?
This was supposed to be higher education.
I've always had good articulation."
After that experience, school wasn't
quite the same.
"School didn't necessarily feel like a safe
place to put my guts on paper for a teacher
to grade," commented Gray. "Which is
ironic, because I do Slam."
One of her most memorable pieces that
night was her "Letter to Hip-Hop." This
poem had actually landed her a stint on
Simmons's show, but she was urged not
to perform that piece. She went ahead
and performed it anyway. Unfortunately,
the episode did not air, but she will never
forget the audiences' intense reaction. And
even though the performance did not earn
her any money, Gray surely grew spiritually from the experience.
Students at this latest performance
heard several pieces from both her albums,
"Shades of Gray" and her most recent,
"Self-Love." A fter wrapping up her last
performance, Gray received a standing
ovation.
"I loved it. I was shocked how much I
loved it," said Mary Rice, a graduating
senior. "She has an amazing presence and
it's definitely an example of how poetry is
made to be read out loud."
Although many students admitted to
attending the event for extra credit, Ngan
Tran and Dulce Santana, both freshmen
and majoring in Women's Studies, were
glad that they came.
"It was very powerful and I think she
could relate to Cal State San Marcos
because sixty five percent are women,"
said Santana. "I'm upset that I never knew
her before."
Gray is hopeful about her future, and a
one-woman show is in the works.
"The sky's the limit. I don't want to put a
ceiling on my potential," said Gray.

Sex Toy Workshop: what to expect
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
The idea of pleasuring oneself sexually is still only comfortable to some. Even though
sex-related topics are discussed
more today than any other time,
there is still a hush-hush nature
about the distribution and use
of sex toys. Nonetheless, Associated Students Inc. is breaking
the silencing with this year's Sex
Toy Workshop. On March 7, in
Commons 206 at 7pm, alumnus
and former ASI Executive Crystal Folk will be presenting her
company's (Passion Parties) best
toys, tricks and tantalizers while
Dr. Jayant Ghiara (otherwise
known as "Dr. G"), who teaches
Human Reproduction, will give
us insider information on sexual
responses and how to push all the
right buttons.
The fun begins when "Dr. G"
gives a half hour presentation on
our sexual response areas. Crystal will then break out her gear
and give us the interactive pass
around of Passion Party toys, each
on sale at the event. In the end,
"everyone who wants something
to bring home will be able to with
some free gift bags and the opportunity to win larger prizes in the
free raffle," said Cheyenne Barr,
Director of Women's Issues.
There will also be insightful
and educational pamphlets covering topics as the history of sex
toys, and information on the different types of material used to
make sex toys and what's best
for each individual. One interesting fact is that the oldest sex toy,
discovered, made of stone, dates
back to 25,000 B.C.E.
Yet, if sex toys have been
around so long, why is the topic
still taboo? According to "The
Invention of Heterosexuality," by
Jonathan Katz, in the Victorian
era, Women's sexuality was only
permitted for procreation. They
were to be "temples of purity
against the monster masturbator." Then in 1860-1892, doctors
began to tell men and women that
eroticism was essential. Our society has come a long way since
then, and having sex toy workshops on campuses, celebrating
in public the freedom of sexuality
for women and men, is a definite
milestone.
In the book "Feminism is for
Everybody," author bell hooks
explains that "many heterosexual men embraced feminist
thinking precisely because they
were unfulfilled sexually in relationships with their partners,
who were not interested in sex
because they had been taught
virtuous women were not sexually active."
The workshop helps women
realize that their bodies aren't
just for the pleasure of men, but
that it is ok to pleasure yourself by shedding a positive light
on women's sexuality. "Talking about sex toys, their different functions and applications,
is a great way to talk about different ways of sex that deviate
from our traditional heteronormative intercourse," says Josh
Harris, last year's women's history month coordinator. The
goal of the workshop, according
to Cheyenne Barr, is "for students to feel comfortable with
their sexual experiences and get
to know the part that our general sex education always leaves
put." The great thing about
workshops like the one being
held on campus, according to
Passionparties.com, is that the
fun environment helps women
feel comfortable discussing their
sexual health, dispelling some

The growing popularity of this
modern twist of a Tupperware
Party' is evident, as it has filled
nearly to capacity the last three
years. To explain why these sex
toy workshops are making such
an impact, Josh Harris said, "Personally, I was amazed at how
comfortable the audience was
with the subject matter. We had
about 250 people in Arts 240, and
when it came time for the Q & A
portion, people were asking the
most personal and private questions in front of 200 or so fellow
students. Yet, no one seemed
awkward about it. I think people
enjoy being able to discuss these
ideas when they feel they are
in an encouraging, sex-positive
environment."
�On Campus: Renowned
underground filmmaker
An evening lost with George Kuchar
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Underground
filmmaker,
George
Kuchar, held a brief seminar last Wed night
in arts 242. Kuchar took the opportunity to
screen some examples of his recent work as
well as to confuse students with his abnormal wit. At least 50 films and hundreds of
short videos bear Kuchar's name, earning
him fame in America's "Underground"
film movement, a genre some say Kuchar
founded in the early 50's, along with artists
like Andy Warhol and Jack Smith.
Further investigation reveals an extensive account of George and his brother
Mike Kuchar's work online at the "Bright
Lights Film Journal" in an article by Jack
Stevenson, "The Day the Bronx Invaded
Earth, The Life and Cinema of the Kuchar
Brothers."
In this article, Stevenson describes the
underground movement of t he 50s to date
as "not a genre but an anti-genre. Underground was an image-negative term that
refuted, denied, and disowned definition
rather than encouraged it. A thing underground was a thing unseen, something
ominously other happening in the darkness. The underground film movement was
never more than a collection of individuals
who never quite collected."
Before the presentation began, Kuchar
sat outside, fumbling through his bag of

miniDv tapes, reminiscent of a 94-yearold grandmother, absentmindedly shaking
through a milk crate filled with old family
pictures.
Despite organizer Jonathon Behnan's
concerns of "burning out his speaker before
he hits thé stage," the average person might
have wondered if perhaps Berman should
worry more how 'burnt out' his speaker
was.
Kuchar began rambling out short explanations of the films he was considering
screening andfinallydecided that he would
"get a feel for the audience and then decide
what films they would most enjoy/'
When asked how he felt about the progression of cinematic production technology, and if perhaps elements of the audience, or the art form, were lost in the transition from his early works on 8mm film
to his latest works done with modern editing and special effects, the answer had
very little to do with the question, and
was recited word for word about halfway
through his seminar.
Kuchar responded with a lengthy timeline of the equipment he worked with over
the years: "I started out with an 8mm
camera and had to do all on-camera editing."
Soon, Kuchar says, he received a second
8mm camera and a tape deck. While this
made editing a lot easier, and he no longer
had to edit the films while he shot, he

mostly describes this step in technology as
"a web of wires that went everywhere."
Kuchar now works in the "computer age,"
where all editing and special effects are
done on the computer. Kuchar's perspectives on technology were soon evident as
he described the advancement of film technology as "learning how to push a different button." His personal choice in minDv
cameras is a Sony 1 chip, which he selected
because "a Japanese student told me those
were good, and I figured they know what
they're talking about with that stuff."
Included in the showcase of his most
recent films, Kuchar included his annual
holiday film. This year's entry, entitled
"Holiday Hang ups," stared Kuchar as himself, taking a trip back to his home in the
Bronx to "visit his mother and friends."
One audience memeber described
Kuchar as "the homeless old guy in the
park, who has lost his mind and falls off
the park bench as he yells at you walking
by," later adding, "what really confused me
is why Berman invited this guy here when
half the things he is describing and showcasing are things Berman teaches never to
do with regard to film."
The audience also watched "Heavenly
Feature," Kuchar's yearly tribute to the
weather of the Oklahoma southern plains.
Kuchar describes this film as bringing him
both recognition and controversy. The most
recent entry features breathtaking footage
of the sky and clouds, visions quite foreign
to residents of southern California. These
heavenly images where accompanied by
appropriately scene-setting music, allowing the viewer to get lost in the clouds, if
only for a brief time. The film concluded,
as it had started, with Kuchar talking with
his toy clown puppet, likely leaving many
to wonder, as with the rest of his films, just
what was missed as Kuchar went from the
brilliances of the sky to his toy clown and
his displays ofjuvenile schizophrenia.
The overall message to be learned from
Kuchar, as he puts it, is that "anyone with
$12 and a camera can make a video or
film."
Perhaps the additional message is that,
just because you have $12 and a camera,
doesn't necessarily mean you should make
a movie.

�Succesful Student: Miss San Marcos balances responsibilties
BY DAVID BAUER
Special to The Pride
Sophomore Pilar Sanchez
was crowned the winner of the
2006 Miss San Marcos Pageant
on February 18th. She will be
expected to appear at different
functions in and around the city
for the coming year as a representative of San Marcos. With
midterms approaching, and the
city expecting her to appear at
eight to ten events each month,
most students would find it hard
to juggle the two roles, student
and representative. Ms. Sanchez;
however, seems to have her priorities clear.
"This [pageant] is what I'm
doing now; school, that's for the
rest of my life."
When asked if her new obligations as Miss San Marcos interfered with her student obligations, she replied definitively
that, "it interferes with getting
a job, but not with school ... if
I have to study I just call and
cancel with [the city of San
Marcos]."
While she may now be dedicated to getting her education,
that was not always the case for
this student.
"I just went to college because
it's the 'thing you do' after
highschool," Ms. Sanchez said,
while discussing her reasons for
attending CSU San Marcos. She
also admits that, before attend-
ing college, she was not an especially motivated learner in high
school, "I visited the vice principal several times... that's where
you go when you get in trouble."
But once at CSU San Marcos,
her outlook towards school
changed drastically. While many
students start with the basic sciences, then migrate towards
seemingly easier majors later in
their educational career, Pilar
took the opposite approach. •
During her Freshman year she
found her niche in the biology
department, after a brief stint
as a Communication major,
drawn to both pharmacology
and molecular biology. When
asked about the difficulty of her
classes, her eyes lit up, "I like
my classes... I enjoy my labs. "I
love being able to know things
[other] people don't know", she
explained excitedly. She attributed some of her success as a
student to CSUSM Experience,
a program designed to help
incoming freshmen adjust to the
rigors of college life. "It was like
training wheels for college ... I
needed a helping hand."
Now that she's also found a
voice in the community, she
wants to encourage others to
follow her example.
"I'm more motivated than I ever
was before in my life... and I want
to motivate others," she explains,
"I wish people would appreciate
what We have here more. We have
Photo by David Bauer / The Pride
a good business school, good professors, and the biology department is getting better."
Besides feeling that the
campus benefits students, she
also believes that the school is
great for the community. "It's
great to see a younger group in
San Marcos... younger and more
si
cz
scholarly," which, in her opinion,
is a great asset to the area.
Two weeks after winning the
pageant, with midterms lurking, many students would be
overwhelmed by the responsibility of being the representative
of a city, as well as a student.
Pilar explains that she doesn't
feel "under pressure from both"
sides, but concedes that "maybe
it hasn't hit me yet?' If she does
feel overburdened, she shows no
signs of it, seeming both confident and excited about her roles
as both newly crowned Miss San
Marcos and as a promising student at CSUSM.

�Jock Talk With Josh Women's Bowling
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
This is the 50th article
(48th column) I have written for The Pride. My
first column appeared on
Feb. 17, 2004, and I have
given my opinion on
numerous topics. I have
rarely used this outlet to
facilitate arguments or comment on previous
columns; however, today I feel it is necessary.
In the past 10 days I have received an
unusual amount of email accusing me of
being sexist and homophobic. These accusations are because of the article published two
weeks ago in which I wrote about the Winter
Olympics. Much of the controversy has come
about from this statement, "Anything that
involves dressing up in a sequined one-piece
outfit while dancing on ice to a song called,
"The Swan", is not a sport. The biggest figure
skating star is Johhny Weir, who should just
add a "D" to his last name and call it a day."
Interestingly enough, these accusations
have all been made by women. Here are a
few of my favorite statements.
Jane Sanchez wrote this in a letter to the
editor, "Figure skating is a sport. The outfits that the athletes wear and the songs they
choose to skate to do not determine if it is
a sport. Homophobia is implied with the
comment about Johnny Wier. He is a male
figure skater and he is an athlete in a sport
that people may see feminine, yes, but it
does not mean he is weird."
Elke Mcfarlane seconded the comment from Sanchez, when she said, "Your
remark about figure skating, in particular
about Johnny Weir, could imply that you
are homophobic."
Frankly, people who take homophobia
from my statement about Weir are the ones
who are perpetuating the stereotype that all
male ice skaters are homosexual.
I didn't write anywhere in my article that
I see ice skating as feminine. Sanchez and
Mcfarlane are putting words in my mouth.
I didn't say he was weird because he is a
figure skater. Go read some of his statements about ice skating and tell me those
aren't weird things to say about ice skating.
If you got homophobia from my statement,
then I suggest examining your own viewpoint.
Sanchez continued to say, "Sport as
defined in the book Sports in Society, by Jay
Goakley, is 'an institutionalized competitive activity that involves rigorous physical exertion or the use of relatively complex
physical skills by participants motivated by
internal and external rewards.'"
Sanchez tried to prove her point, but she
is helping me prove my point. What I wrote
was my opinion on what a sport is and isn't.
The key word from the previous sentence
is, "my opinion." What Sanchez stated from
that book is also an opinion. What is a sport
is completely up to each individual interpretation.
This comment comes from Stefanie Zeltner who said, "Having never read any of
your articles before, I certainly hope that
your other articles are much better than this
last one. You need to learn that you need to
back up your articles with some thing called
fact. Sexism and opinions on gender certainly don't count. Since when do journalists have a right to make f un of athletes?"
Well Stefanie, if you had read some of
the previous 47 columns that I have written
for "The Pride," then you might not be calling me a sexist. On April 13, 2004,1 wrote
an article advocating more recognition for
female athletes and on Nov. 1,2005,1 stated
this in an article, "It boggles my mind that
people actually care whether or not a person.
is gay." Also, regarding your concerns about
sports journalists mocking athletes, go read
T.J. Simers from the "LA Times" or go
listen to Jim Rome on 1090 AM and your
question will be answered. Also, regarding
backing up my article with fact. I believe I
did so when I said these Olympics were not
a success in America since American Idol
kicked the Olympics' butt in viewership.
While you're at it, go look at the drop off in
viewership from past Winter Olympics.
I also received some comments regarding
my feelings about events that are based on
the opinion of judges.
Zeltner. said, "You also said that ice
skating should be considered a competition because the results are determined by
the opinion of a judge. Hmmm ... sounds
familiar ... who that has ever gone to a
football game realized that the opinion of
a judge (aka Referee) impacts the result of
the game?"
Melinda Hansen added this to Zeltner's
argument, "These judges know the sport
down to every detail. They have to fulfill a
certain criteria prior to becoming a judge.
They follow strict guidelines and are
knowledgeable about technical maneuvers
that often go unnoticed to viewers."
Diane Nematbakhsh added this about
judges, "The judging of sports in the Olympics is highly technical. Judges must go
through training and certification before
they can step on the Olympic Judging
board."
Zeltner's statement makes me think she
has never seen a football game. Referees
in football facilitate the game. They don't
hand out 10 points for one type of touchdown and five points for a different type
of touchdown, whereas ice skating judges
do exactly that, solely based on their opinion. That is why different judges watching
the same ice skater give different scores,
because it's based on opinion.
As for Hansen and Nematbakhsh statement's about judges, I know judges have an
extensive knowledge of ice skating, but they
still dish points out based on opinion and
the event is solely in their hands to determine who wins. Don't you remember the
ice skating judging controversy in the previous Olympics where some of the judges
were found to be fixing the event?
Let's take a short break with a bit of a
brain teaser. You can find the answer at the
bottom of this column once you're done
reading. Do you know what you get if you
take away the skates from ice skaters?
I have just a few more points before
you find that answer. To all the readers
who took offense to my Winter Olympics
column, learn to laugh and take enjoyment
in life because life is way too short to take
things seriously 24/7/365.1 mean, I started
that column off with, "Dear NBC." Did you
honestly think that was a real letter I sent to
NBC? It's called being satirical.
Finally, I will not continue this conversation through this newspaper. I have
always told emailers that they can meet me
in person to discuss issues they have with
me. To this day, no one has taken me up on
that offer. I won't continue the argument in
future columns because there is no way you
can beat me in the paper because I have a
column and you don't ... neener, neener,
neener. That was a joke. Apparently I have
to say that after every joke I make because
some people take everything literally.
0nceagain,myemailissando026@csusm.
edu and you probably realize now that I will
print what you say so you might want to
think twice.
Here is the answer to the brain teaser:
You get, "Dancing with the Stars" when
you take the skates away from the ice skaters. Don't dare tell me that you consider that
a sport. That was a joke so please don't send
an email saying I have a phobia of celebrities who like to dance.

Ron Pulvers expects
superior performance
New CSUSM soccer coach brings impressive resume
BY ALEX GARIN
Pride Staff Writer
Ron Pulvers, the coach of Cal State
San Marcos premiere soccer team, is
accustomed to winning.
Pulvers galvanized his reputation as
a winning coach at Baker University
and led the Wildcats to five conference championships, three conference
tournament championships, and also
claimed two regional championships.
In addition, he has coached fourteen
players who went on to become "AllAmericans," and was named conference coach of the year four times and
regional coach of the year in 2002.
Pulvers has won over 100 games in
his career in the National Association
for Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
and has never experienced a sub .500
season. This impressive record enabled
him to scramble above a very competitive applicant pool, to become Cal State
San Marcos first ever soccer coach.
"Ron rose to the top of a highly competitive applicant pool. He brings with
him an impressive coaching resume,"
said athletic director Dr. Terry Nichols,
in a written statement.
His career began humbly at Midwestern University in Wichita Falls Texas.
However, his enthusiastic approach
to the game of soccer enabled him to
quickly ascend to a position as Head
Coach of Baker University's soccer program in Baldwin, Kan. in 1996.
Pulvers looks at his days at Baker
University fondly. "I can not say enough
great things about Eastern Kansas,"
says Pulvers. "The people of Kansas are
top class, the cities are resourceful, and
the overall quality of life is very high."
However, he looks forward to coaching
in his native Southern Californian atmosphere.
Pulvers' new move will mark a transitional point in his career as a soccer
coach and his life in general. He is relo-
eating from a well-established soccer
program to one in its infancy. Nevertheless, Pulvers is optimistic about the
climate of the Cal State San Marcos athletic department and sees great potential. "The talent level is greater and the
student-athlete pool is deeper in Southern California," Pulvers says.
Despite his optimism, Pulvers recognizes that he will run into some initiatory problems. "The biggest task is
to get the facilities established for the
whole athletic department." Pulvers
further stated, "The winning culture and
the environment at CSU San Marcos are
going to have to be established."
The Cal State San Marcos inaugural
soccer season will not start until the fall,
however, Pulvers keeps himself occupied by recruiting and training candidates for the new soccer teams. He has
never had a losing season before and
plans to keep his reputation as a winning soccer coach intact here at Cal
State. Pulvers is spending his first preseason scouting and recruiting players
on an invitational basis, but will hold an
open tryout for inspiring athletes at a yet
to be determined date.
In a written statement regarding his
move, Pulvers says, "I share the excitement of the university in the growth and
development of a new era in athletics. It
is my goal to develop an exciting brand
of soccer that will produce student-athletes who represent the university with
class, character and spirit." He hopes to
add some new additions to his trophy
shelf in upcoming years and displays an
uncanny enthusiasm for the sport.
Pulvers will coach against Paul Caligiuri's Cal Poly Pomona teams during his
first time on the Cal State sideline. Caligiuri has played in for the United States in
two World Cups and was inducted into
the soccer Hall of Fame.
The highly anticipated season opener
will be held on Friday, August 25 at
5:30 p.m.
�Golf team misses previous coach
BY BRITTANY GOEHRING
Special to The Pride
The CSUSM Cougar's golf teams lost
Coach Hanover two days before the 2005
fall semester began. He was placed on
administrative leave, according to President Haynes, at the request of Athletics.
When the teams met for the f irst time
last semester at a mandatory meeting, we
were instructed by the Athletic Director
NOT to have any contact with Coach
Hanover. We were told that he was not
under suspension for sexual harassment
or misappropriation of f unds, but rather
had been placed on leave due to a personnel conflict in the Physical Education
Department.
This conflict placed the Women's Golf
team in jeopardy, and we were directly
and negatively affected by his removal.
Several players have considered leaving the team due to conflicting coaching
strategies that have more or less found the
team scrambling for leadership.
The ladies have been kept in the dark
pertaining to the allegations against
Coach Hanover. Letters have been sent to
the President's Office in his behalf. We as
a team have collectively attempted to meet
with President Haynes' office since last
semester, to no avail. We were told that
the president is very busy and not always
available to speak with students regarding
their concerns. Even parents have tried
contacting the President's Office, only to
have their questions referred to the Athletic Director's (A.D.) office.
It just seems like nothing is being done
to keep the program together the way it
was prior to Coach Hanover's removal.
Finally, a fter repeated requests, we have
now been granted an appointment with
the president to express our concerns.
But all along the A.D.'s office, which
is in charge of this investigation, has
attempted to p acify us with statements of
support for Coach Segura, and to d iffuse
our support for Coach Hanover. These
actions by the A.D. have caused the team
to be split, and any type of comradery
which we had in the past has been undermined by this conflict. We will continue
our efforts to get Coach Hanover back
until justice is done.
Last month the first days of Coach
Hanover's arbitration hearing were held
and the A.D. gave his side of the story.
The A.D. who is in charge of filing this
discipline against our coach is also the
Cougar's liaison to the President's Office.
We , • as students and athletes, are concerned over this procedure. How can that
be possible? Isn't that a conflict of interest? What code of ethics is the Athletic
Department operating under? Are we the
only ones to see that the A.D. representing
the president at the hearing is not right?
The plight of our team is serious, and our
season is at great risk. Coach Hanover
needs our support and we need his expertise in running a successful golf program.
This is why we are requesting an end to
the deliberation, a decision be made, and
the program facilitators bring back Fred
Hanover. We will fight to the end to make
our voices heard and to let everyone know
what is really going on here. We do appreciate CSUSM as an outstanding institution
of higher education, but what's happening
in the golf program these days teaches all
of us the wrong lesson.
Bumper Oars: College Edition
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
The student population at CSUSM
is split into two main categories, the
day students and the evening students.
Between the hours of 4 a.m. and 6:30
p.m., the two crowds collide into a chaotic dance I've entitled, "The Parking
Lot War."
There are three basic characters in
this dance. The "Hunter" stalks prey
with their vehicle, hoping to swoop
in on the prey's parking spot. If the
prey wanders too far from the Hunter's desired parking range, the Hunter
speeds off in search of new prey to
creep up on and leaves the old prey
inhaling exhaust fumes.
The "Chicken King" parks his or
her car at the beginning of the desired
parking aisle. The Chicken King claims
the aisle by refusing to move until a car
pulls out of a parking spot he or she
deems desirable. If other cars in search
of parking spots pull up behind the
Chicken King, or if a car parks at the
end of the parking aisle, the Chicken
King will hold his or her ground and
refuse to budge. If the car at the end of
the aisle refuses to budge as well, the
game of "chicken" commences. Once a
car pulls out of a spot that the Chicken
King and the challenger would like to
park in, engines rev and it's a mad dash
to get to the parking spot first, pull in,
and park.
Lastly, there's the "Snake" parker.
This person scavenges the parking lot
in search of another parker waiting
patiently for a car to pull out of a spot.
As soon as the person pulls out, the
Snake pulls into the stall from the other
direction, nonchalantly parks his or her
car and walks to class, ignoring the
words of f ury the patient parker hurls
at him or her.
The various prey have learned methods to try and distract or avoid the
Hunter, Chicken King, and Snake. They
can weave in and out of parked vehicles
to confuse parkers or pretend to be near
a vehicle that is their own then, as a
parker approaches, walk away towards
either another pretend vehicle or to their
actual vehicle. Prey can also sit in their
vehicle for fifteen minutes or however
long it takes the waiting parker to give
up, and then pull out of the parking spot
as the parker impatiently speeds off.
Each parking aisle is probably 10
feet in distance from the next aisle.
There are about six aisles in any given
campus parking lot. Is it really more
strenuous having to walk 20 more feet
to get a parking spot rather than driving around for 30 minutes trying to
find one "closer"? Of course there are
exceptions, and I understand not everyone is in the best condition to walk more
than necessary. If everyone parks at the
first stall they see instead of "cherry
picking" for stalls 10 feet closer to the
campus, there would be more spots
available for the exceptions that really
do need to park closer, and there'd be
less parking lot anxiety build up.
So if you're a Hunter, Chicken King,
or Snake, maybe you need to re-evaluate why parking 10 feet closer is more
important than getting to class on
time.

Just as Italian is the language of love, Italian cuisine
is the food of romance. Well,
maybe not officially, but it's
definitely scrumptious. Luckily, there's a little bit of Italy
right down the street on San

comfy bar seats, four cornered

As busy as the restaurant

doors and wicker baskets gave
the restaurant a cozy atmosphere. Johnny Carino's effortlessly promotes an experience
of being not in a restaurant, but

The food is amazing, customer service is excellent, and

For less than the price of an
average CD, kids can bring their
live-band-loving friends to San
Diego for a smorgasbord of punk
shows; besides, who buys their
music these days?
On Sunday, March 12, New
Jersey band
" Saves
Day" will be playing the House
of Blues, along with Circa Survive, Moneen, and Pistolita. For
$15 you can see this amazing
set of musicians play, previewing their new album, due out in
April. Their soft sound and distinct acoustic melodies have
been around since 1998, and
their music varies and improves
with time. If you are a secret emo
fanatic, you will gladly be a part
of this crowd.
Closer to Saint
Paddy's Day, you will find something a little darker at Soma.
"Black Dahlia Murder," named
after the 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short, the "Black Dahlia"
has a sound to match their name.
Those in desperate need of a good
scream need to show up at the
main stage at 7 p.m. to witness
this "melodic death metal" in
person. Their show also includes
Throwdown, The Red Chord, and
The Agony Scene. The event is
on Friday and will cost you $13,
a small price to pay to bring the
morbid and deliciously dark
side of you out to play.
If you are looking for a
place where you can find an
addictive
chorus, genuinely sentimental
lyrics, amazingly fresh riffs, with
just the hint of a good scream,
then Soma will also be the place
for you on Wednesday, March 22.
Emery, a band full of "Southern
Carolina boys," wanting nothing
more than to pour their hearts
out on stage, will be playing this

Rally for affordable quality education and fair contracts!
In 2003 and 2004, California cut half a billion dollars in state funding for
the C SU. To help get through tough times, faculty and staff took a pay
freeze. Students saw fees skyrocket along with class sizes. Sections were
cancelled. Advising appointments took months to get
The economy finally started to recover this year, but instead of putting
new resources in the classrooms, the Trustees spent $1.2 million on huge
raises for top administrators. They could have used that money to offer
262 more sections that would enroll 10,000 students. After all, the housing
allowance for presidents Is more than the yearly pay of many professors!
To top It all off, after raising student fees every year since 2002, the
Trustees want to raise them a gain-10% per year for the next four years.
The C SU is getting so expensive that enrollments are starting to decline!
Meanwhile, faculty and staff unions are negotiating new contracts, and the
C SU administration is pushing hard for cutbacks in compensation and job
security. They want to get rid of reliable cost-of-living raises for faculty
who are already underpaid. They want to dump three-year contracts for
lecturers, making them scramble for work every semester. And they want
to gut the F ERP program that lets retired faculty keep teaching the
courses students need.
l itiTIS M R OFF!
THAT'S RIGHT, FREE.
We can't let the C SU administration destroy our school and our jobs!
And the only way to stop them is if students, staff, and faculty unite to say,

How To... Satisfy lato night cravings
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
After a long night out dancing,
socializing, drinking or heaven
forbid, studying, there is nothing better then seeking out your
neon sign of choice. That's right,
the infamous 2 a.m. food run.
There's nothing more satisfying
then finding your own personal
brand of solitude in a paper wrapper.
We are all guilty of giving i n to
our growling stomachs, regardless of what time it is, and heading out to our favorite eatery for
greasy foods we all adore. Sorry,
but peanut butter and jelly on
white, you just don't cut it when
it comes to a late night cravings.
So where do you go when the
clock strikes 2 and the bar is closing?
Well, the students here at Cal
State San Marcos had their own
ideas about their late night oasis.
However their tastes didn't stray
far from one student to the next.
The places we absolutely cannot
live without in the middle of the
night are taco shops (what would
we do without them?) and Denny's.
Now, everyone has his or her
favorite taco shop. Alberto's,
Albertacos, Antonio's. What is
not to like? Burritos that weigh
as much as your head, long lines
of college students eagerly awaiting their fix of choice, menus that
are bright enough to burn your
retinas for a good ten minutes,
and the voice behind the box that
never, ok almost never, gets your
order right. It is pure heaven.
So why do we endure the conditions of the ever-busy taco shop?
Where else can you show up with
a dollar and a smile and leave
completely
happy?
After speaking with a few of
our midnight munching males
and females here on campus,
I found that I was not the only
one involved in a romantic liaison with the California burrito
from Santana's Mexican Grill on
San Marcos and Pacific. "Santana's fulfills every void in your
stomach at the wee hours of the
morning," said Adam Bishop.
"The California burrito rocks my
socks."
There is also the famous known
green and yellow sign which we
have all searched desperately for
in the middle of the night. The
nearest Denny's to campus, on
San Marcos Blvd., can provide
any gung-ho breakfast fanatic
with a greasy slice of heaven they

desire. "Denny's $3.99 Grand
Slam, you get everything on one
plate," said Jeremy Decker. The
Grand Slam includes two buttermilk pancakes, two eggs any
style, toast, and two pieces of
bacon and sausage. Denny's has
something to offer for everyone,
including meat lovers, traditional
country biscuits and gravy, and
don't forget the Fabulous French
Toast Platter.
From the 24hr drive thru at
the McDonald's at Knoll and
San Marcos, to the Winchell's
Donuts on Valley Parkway in
Escondido, we all have our own
recipe for the gut-bomb we so
desire. So, the next time you
need to kill that craving, keep
these fine late night dining establishments in mind.

Cal State San Marcos faculty,
staff and students rallied for fair
contracts and affordable education on Thursday, March 9, in
front of the Kellogg Library.
"We wanted to let President
Haynes know that we think it's
time for her to demand that the
Trustees reinvest in the CSU,"
said Lance Newman, secretary
of the CFA San Marcos. "We
want them to reduce student-faculty ratios and approve fair contracts for the unions."
The Unite to Win rally was
co-sponsored by the California Faculty Association (CFA),
the California State University
Employees Union (CSUEU), and
the Academic Professionals of
California (APC), and according
to Newman, the demonstration
was well-supported, with over
250 people participating in the
rally.

Pride Staff Writer
President Haynes, alongside the cheerful students of the Early Learning Center, celebrated
a California State University San Marcos first
at the ground-breaking ceremony for an on-site
childcare center, on Tuesday, March 7.
"This has been a long-standing dream of
Cal State San Marcos," said President Karen
Haynes.
The Center for Children and Families was
made possible through a grant awarded to Cal
State San Marcos from the First Five Commission
of San Diego in the summer of 2004, providing
$7,681,356 in funds to build the 22,000 squarefoot facility. An additional contribution from the
2005 approved fee referendum has made this ASI
dream into a reality.
The ground-breaking ceremony began with a
delightful twist of "Hi-Ho ... it's off to Cal State

Cal State San Marcos prepares
to bid farewell to Dean of Students, Jonathan Poullard. Poullard will go on to work at UC
Berkeley at the conclusion of the
Spring 2006 semester.
"The community at Berkeley
is one that I can benefit from
both personally and careerwise," said Poullard in explaining why he decided ofi employment at the UC.
For Poullard, the CSUSM community served as a place where
he benefited from his commitment to keeping student interest and learning at the center of
his agenda. However, Poullard
describes his Sari Diego experience as one of struggle over
trying to blend his personal life
with the quality of his career.
"UC Berkeley allows me to
earn a Ph.D. while also working,"
said Poullard. Berkeley is also a
community with a heavy sociopolitical atmosphere, an element
found intriguing to the Dean of
Students. San Diego lacks the
diversity and opportunities for
growth that Poullard seeks in
each location he travels to. So,
after nearly six years of experience, he will be saying good-bye
to Cal State San Marcos.
When asked about his most
memorable
experiences
at
CSUSM, Poullard chuckled upon
recalling the events surrounding
the Michael Moore issue during
Fall 2004.
"The experience sent positive
chills up my spine. The students
were active in making the school
their own at that moment, and
it reminded me of why I am an
educator," said Poullard.
During his experience here,
Poullard feels he's benefited
from working so closely with
the student body in forming positive bonds to give rise to strong
leadership. He also commented
that campus organizations are

$44 million, as opposed to applying for a grant that will cost $48
million.
Another important question
asked frequently of the Parking and Transportation Services
Department is why not increase
the faculty/staff parking fees as
well, which currently costs only
$14.00 a month, which in a semester is about $88.00 less than what
students are currently paying now
per semester.
The answer, according to Director Dora R. Knoblock, is that some
years ago parking became a bargaining issue between the Chancellors Office and the Union, and
since the price increased in 1999
for faculty/staff from $12.00 per
month to $14.00 per month, it has
since remained the same.
Finally, the common question
asked of the Parking and Transportation Service is why are students who are here now having to
pay for a structure that they are
unlikely to use. Williams offered
a conclusive answer.
"Students seven years ago were
paying to subsidize parking that
you now use, and now you'll be
paying for the future students,"
said Williams.
It is a circle system that seems
unfair atfirst,but at second glance
makes sense.
Both Knoblock and Williams
agree that they are looking out for

future as well.

N now resides, next to the University Village Apartments and
Chavez Circle. The structure will
contain an estimated 2,800 general parking spaces and it will be
at least four stories tall. The project will cost roughly $48 million.
According to Williams, the
school generates approximately
$3 million a year. Also, taking
into consideration that the state
does not assist in financing such
projects, the money consequently
must be raised through increased
parking fees. With the student
parking fees scheduled to rise
steadily over the next few years,
the hope is to build up a reserve
of at least $4 million.
According to Belinda Garcia,
assistant director of Parking Services, the campus will have an
easier time asking for a grant for

that focus on preparing children
for success in school, as well as
early childhood development.
The new Center for Children
and Families site is adjacent to
the University Police Department, nestled at the northeast end
of the campus property. The Center's Grand Opening is scheduled to commence before the Fall
semester of2007.
"It's about taking risks, it's
about collaborations, and it's
about moving forward together,"
said Peggy Kelly, the woman
responsible for applying for the
grant from the First Five Commission. "This center is a win for
children, a win for students, and
a win for the community. The
Center for Children is one example of the best of what Cal State

�Remebering the Holocaust: Survivor Halftime Results
David Faber to speak on campus of RecycleMania
BY KARIN REYES
Pride Staff Writer
The German Club and Phi
Alpah Theta will be co-sponsoring a lecture by Holocaust Survivor David Faber in ACD 102 on
March 15 at 5:30 p.m.
Faber, author of Because of
Romek: A Holocaust Survivor's
Memoir, will be on campus to
recount his incredible story of
survival as a young boy during
the Holocaust. Students and
faculty are invited to attend this
important event.
"It is important for students
and faculty to come. We have the
opportunity to learn history from
someone who was actually there.

As a final word to CSUSM

Cal State San Marcos reaches
the halftime mark in the tenweek competition of RecycleMania, the annual EPA sponsored
recycling and waste reduction
contest.
With 93 colleges and universities participating in the program, Cal State San Marcos
continues to strive for the RecycleMania title.
But at this midpoint, one
neighboring San Diego county
campus stands between Cal
State San Marcos and another
national recycling championship. Point Loma Nazarene
University maintains a tiny, but
stubborn half percent overall
recycling rate lead over CSUSM
in the Grand Champion division
of the competition. The Grand
Champion division measures
the combined results of the Per
Capita Classic and the Waste
Minimization
competitions,
and demonstrates the greatest achievement in both source
reduction and recycling.
In the Per Capita Classic
standings, CSUSM finds itself
in second, trailing by six pounds
of recyclables per person. In
this competition, institutions
are competing to collect the
largest amount of recyclables
per person.
While Cal State San Marcos
pushes to regain their title, the
campus proudly maintains a
strong and powerful lead in
the special division of Targeted
Material-Corrugated
Cardboard competition, with
35 pounds per person, a strong
comparison to second place
campus, Kalamazoo College,
far behind the Cougars with
barely 15 pounds per person.
This year, the competition
has been especially intense
with traditional powers such
as Colorado State, Washington
State, and Miami (Ohio) chasing close behind the Cougars.
Cal State San Marcos's Green
Team and Blue Crew need the
campus's added support as they
work to keep the championship in San Marcos. Together,
CSUSM can make everything
count.
"This year, we need to do more. Everything that
needs to be recycled needs to be recycled. From
newspapers, to old classroom assignments, every
piece makes a difference" - Carl Hanson, director of the Green Team at Cal State San Marcos.

�I N F S Anniversary raised money for ASI Women's Center
U AET
BYRACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
The LUNAFEST Anniversary fundraiser was held in "The
Clarke" Grand Salon to raise
money for the new ASI Women's
Center, on Friday, March 10.
"We are proposing the ASI
Women's Center budget to the
Associated Student Inc. Board
of Directors in April which we
hope will fund the bare necessities of the center," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's
Issues.
Hosted^ by ASI, University
Student Union Advisory Board
(USUAB), the Arts and Lectures Series, and Student Leadership and Life Multicultural
Programs, the LUNAFEST
Fifth-year Anniversary presented films from, by, and about
women. CSUSM students paid
an entrance donation of $15
while other attendants paid $25.
Before the filming began, there
was a wine and cheese reception. In addition, there was also
an auction for more donations.
All the money raised from this
event goes directly to the funding of the ASI Women's Center.
"Funds raised from outside
ASI will supplement programs,
services and resources, and
build on a savings account for
the future of the ASI Women's
Center," said Barr.
These funds will also bring
Advocate
Scholarships for
CSUSM students, mentioned
Barr.
"The ASI Women's Center is a
pull-together of many on campus
and community resources and
services as a sort of 'information
hub' for services already available from programs all around
campus," said Barr.
The ASI Women's Center will
be student run, will advocate for
support and will expand services
to students. Resources such as
pamphlets and referrals will be
available for as informational
tools. The center will provide
a network to various groups on
and off campus. The center will
also provide counseling and support groups. Students can also
visit the center for menstruation
and contraceptive supplies.
"The ASI Women's Center is
a safe space for women to come
for information, resources, services, and programs that affect
them," said Barr. "It is a hub of
information and a place for all
students to feel like they have a
voice and a resource."
ASI Women's Center will continue to host many other events
that will help raise money for the
new facility.
Currently, the Stand Up for
Women campaign is accepting
donations. Anyone who donates
$15 or more will have a plaque
dedicated with their name. The
deadline for donations, with a
plaque, is March 24.
The ASI Women's Center will
be located in Commons 201A,
around the corner from the other
ASI offices.

Pakistani educator speaks to students during 'Coffee Hour'
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
For the second time this semester, Cal State San Marcos hosted
the International Coffee Hour.
Held on March 8, and sponsored
by Global Connections in support
of Women's History Month, the
event featured as guest lecturer
Fulbright Scholar Dr. Shagufta
Iqbal.
Following a similar format to
previous Coffee Hours, it was
both social and educational, with
attendants enjoying free coffee,
lemonade and snacks. Local and
international Students and staff
also took the opportunity to
get reacquainted and meet new
people.
Aside from the more tangible
benefits, the lecture from Dr.
Shagufta Iqbal also helped attract
those in need of a coffee break.
Dr. Iqbal is the principal of an
all-female government degree
college in Sibi, Pakistan. Visiting
the United States on a Fulbright

ests. She says that the women feel
more comfortable, both socially
and academically, when learning
with an all-female staff and student body.
The body of her speech honed
in on the types of reforms she
hopes to implement in her home
country of Pakistan, including a
revamp of current curriculums
and introducing a variety of new
courses. There was also acknowledgement that teachers would
need more education and training
themselves.
Of particular interest to testweary students in this country,
Dr. Iqbal stressed the need for
reforming the assessment/examination mold. She explained that
in Pakistan, there is too much
emphasis on a single test, that the
norm of using a single examination to gauge students' knowledge. Current tests emphasize
memorization and, in her opinion, are inadequate means of predicting students' potential success.

was clear that a lack of technology and facilities present huge
obstacles to Pakistanis gaining
an education. Often there is no
plumbing, and children sit on the
floor because they have no desks.
Some classes are held without a
physical classroom, resulting in
teachers lecturing to their classes
i nihe hot desert sun.
"I was shocked at the condition of their schools and lack of
financial aid," said Aya Okada,
an international student who
attended the International Coffee
Hour.
After hearing Dr. Iqbal's lecture, it was evident that the U.S.
education system had made a
good impression on her. She
plans on applying many U.S.
teaching techniques to schools
in Pakistan, listing such methods
as student-involved instruction,
reduced test anxiety, research/
activity orientation, and needbased technical skills.
"[There are] so many issues, I
could talk for hours and hours,"
said Dr. Iqbal about the obvious factors that affect education
reform.
But she remains optimistic
about Pakistan's future. $430 billion have been budgeted for the
nextfifteenyears in a governmental program called "Education for
All." While it is a vital cause, Dr.
Iqbal said that "reaching this goal
will depend on [Pakistani governmental] leadership."

Just by attending an ASI sponsored
or co-sponsored events students have a
chance to win a $100 Shell Gas Card.
With the continuing rise of gas prices
and tuition, Commuter Student Services
developed the Gas Card Program. The
Gas Card Program is a chance for students
who attend ASI sponsored and co-sponsored events to enter in a monthly drawing
to win a $100 gas card.
"The goal was to provide a useful and
needed service for the 90 some odd percent
of students that commute from throughout
the county to our campus," said Director of
Commuter Student Services, Jeremy Mill.
Some students may be unaware of the
program or free gas incentive, but 'since
the programs initial start in September of
2005, there have been nine winners from
the Fall semester and five from Spring
semester.
When a student attends any ASI event,
he or she is eligible to place one ticket into
the drawing for each event that student
attends within that month. The drawings
are held on the last business day of each
month with the winner being contacted
with the information that was provided on
the ticket. If for some reason the winner
does not respond or pick up the card within
one week from initial contact, another
winner is chosen.
A student has the possibility to win

every month if their name is drawn, however, there are some restrictions. A student
cannot win more than one card per month,
and students that work for ASI (Programming Board, Board of Directors, intramurals, or Recreation) are not eligible to enter
the drawings.
The gas cards are for Shell Gasoline and
are accepted at all Shell Gas Stations. The
nearest Shell Station is about 3 miles from
the campus at the cross-section of San
Marcos Blvd. and Grand next to In & Out.
The gas card program will run until
the end of the semester. To check out the

�Sex Toys Workshop educates and excites
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
The eager, the apprehensive, the lucky
few who could find close seats, all spread
into Com 206 last Tuesday at 8pm to
attend the latest presentation of the Sextoys Workshop.
As the presentation was readying to
begin, student Christine Weir, a junior
with a double major in social science and
women's studies, learned about the event
from other students passing out flyers
in her class. When asked if she had any
expectations, she replied that, "I've never
been to a 'workshop' before, but I'm
looking forward to seeing how this stuff
works." Speaking with her further about
whether this kind of event was good for the
campus, she believes "it helps make the
campus more progressive, and ease negative stereotypes about sex-toys."
Amid the ample display of erotic tools
and seasonings, the phallic and fakebreast-like balloons, students looked about
for familiar faces and snacked on cookies served from a baking mold resembling
male genitalia and drank soft drinks, but
mostly hoarded energy drinks from an
ice container that, sadly, only resembled a
bucket.
Sophomore and computer science major,
Muenge Loundu, who had clearly never
been exposed to anything related to sextoys, said he was expecting, if anything,
"some instruction on how and why to use
them." Even if a little apprehensive, he
had no trouble saying: "I'd go even if the
event wasn't on campus, I always like to
learn about new things, and this is something I knew virtually nothing about."
Mr. Loundu also felt that it was, "good to
have it on campus, to make more people
aware."
Though last Spring's event was organized by the Women's Studies department,
this year the task was in ASI's hands. The
audience was thusly welcomed by organizer Cheyenne Barr, who took a moment
to alert students to other events celebrating
'Her-story' month. Attendants were also
encouraged to participate in raffles for
both the workshop and the regular drawing open to all who attend an ASI event
and are interested in winning such student-friendly prizes as 100$ of gasoline.
Next to the stage was Dr. Ghiara, or as
some affectionately call him, 'Dr. G."
He began his lecture with a seemingly
serious story about 'men in dark suits'
coming to censor the presentation, primarily his slide show. It was then that he
guided the laughing crowd through an

assortment of photos displaying cute kittens and proud roosters. (Those unaware
of the slang-pun implied here are welcome
to email the Pride for further explanation.)
Once everyone settled, Dr. G then proceeded to explain in very simple terms
the precise functions of the female and
genitals and the human sexual response,
emphasizing the relationship between
mental and physical stimuli as well as the
individual nature of our sexual selves.
There is, to those concerned, much natural
variation between one person and the next,
specifically in what they find pleasurable.
Dr. G also gave a brief explanation of the
both enigmatic and, for some, irrelevant
'g-spot' as well as a history of Kegel exercises and how scientifically recommended
they are.
Following the lecture, a Q&A session
rewarded those who paid close enough
attention to both the subject matter and
its significance. Naturally, some prizes
drew more hands than others. Dr. G. also
emphasized his desire to raise money for a
cancer research fund, offering free professional and private sex consultation to those
who donate to the cause. Those interested
should contact consults@DrGonline.com
The women of Passion Parties themselves kept things both fun and relaxed,
offering free samples of pheromone oils
and an all natural 'enhancement gel'
promised to greatly increase sexual experience for half a day; half a dozen of each
gender was quick to their feet to step into
the nearby restroom. Some of these volunteers came back smiling, others smiling a lot. Naturally, the toys themselves

commanded the largest presence, despite
their varying sizes. Students opened their
mouths wide, either stunned or mesmerized by the many feats of engineering and
novelty ... though the room grew noticeably, if predictably, quiet at the introduction of the 'playful plug.'
Calm, yet still attentive and eager to
laugh, senior liberal studies major, Juana
Molina, reflected a moment to compare
this workshop to last Spring's event, held
in the much larger Clark Field House.
"These presenters had lower priced
items, and a smaller audience made it
seem more interactive."
The unofficial Passion Parties motto of
"a little Aribration never hurt anybody,"
was clearly convincing, as more than half
the attendees stayed behind to either discuss the presentation or visit the Passion
Parties ordering table, where they offered
hand jobs. This reporter got one himself,
amazed at how good it felt to have one of
the presenters put on a plastic textured
mitten and rub massage oil onto his hand.
In addition to such demonstrations, they
also offer the highest of confidentiality to
those ordering their products.
Catching up with Ms. Christine Weir
again, it was clear that she'd been pleasantly surprised, particularly by "how much
.health related information they provided
... it (the whole event) was great."
John Hall, a sophomore majoring in
Biology, and another who clearly never
considered sex-toys a major factor in their
lives, also spoke well of the event.
"Initially, I just went along with my
friends, but now I feel these things could
help anybody.
Speaking with Cheyenne about any
resistance she received to putting on
another workshop, she was happy to
say that there were only a couple people
"concerned that the event would promote
immoral-intercourse, yet virtually all of
these things could be used solo." She went
on to remark that something like a sex-toys
workshop on campus is "like the second
course to sex education, and for some it's
the first."
Dr. Ghiara was also very adamant in his
stance on issues surrounding the controversy.
"Encouraging people to know more
about themselves is not advocating hedonism."
As to issues of hesitation or hostility towards supporting such an event, or
of having to constantly defend its 'educational value,' he admitted that it was
certainly something to consider, "but if
this were a more residential college that
wouldn't be as big an issue."
He also brought to light a bit of American context with a slightly mortified laugh,
pointing out that in many of the states that
outright criminalize sex-toys, the open sale
of automatic weapons is perfectly legal.
Honey and Chrystal, of Passion Parties,
are both CSUSM alumni and former ASI
members. They've brought their passion to
campus before, but only as vendors at last
year's performance of The Vagina Monologues. Typically they're invited to private
homes, but both agreed they 'd love to present at universities more often because, as
Chrystal points out, "sex is everywhere,
but sex education isn't."
To anyone still uncomfortable with the
idea of a sex-toys workshop on campus,
Honey explains warmly how "continued conversation about sex and sexuality
provides people more comfort with their
bodies and their partner's body." Once
more, Honey echoes the evening's clear
stance that it's not merely 'permissible'
to provide these kinds of venues; "It's
important to equip students with the tools
to make healthy decisions about their sex
lives."

BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
The
u pcom-
ing
sports weekend for San
Diego will be an alltime great. It will also
be a great opportunity
to show off San Diego
to the world.
i
It's not often that
playoff games take
place in San Diego, because the Chargers
and Padres play in their respective postseasons about once every decade. During
this weekend, however, San Diego will
have playoff fever.
On Thursday March 16, the NCAA
Men's basketball tournament will kick off
with first round play at Cox Arena on the
campus of San Diego State. The March
Madness tourney is something that every
sports fan needs to experience. I have not
had the opportunity to attend an NCAA
tourney game, and if I don't get a chance
to go to the first round, then maybe I will
get a shot at the second round which will
be. played on March 18 at Cox Arena. The
first round always sees plenty of upsets.
One No. 12 seed seems to always beat a
No. 5 seed on the first day, but don't get
too upset-minded, though, because no 16
seed has ever beaten a No. 1 seed, so don't
forget about that when filling out your
brackets.
If the NCAA tourney wasn't enough
on Saturday, the World Baseball Classic Tournament semifinals will be held
at Petco Park in downtown San Diego. I
have tickets for both games which will
take place at noon and 7 pm. Maybe I will
be able to sneak in a second round game
of the NCAA tourney in between the two
baseball games.
The San Diego sports weekend will
officially end on Monday, March
20, when the WBC championship
game takes place. On January 24,
I predicted a Dominican Republic versus United States championship game. I stand by that
prediction with a forewarning that Venezuela looks
strong, so don't be surprised
to see them take the Dominican's spot.
San Diego athletes will
also get the opportunity to
shine. The SDSU Men's basketball team will be playing
in the NCAA tournament and
has an excellent chance at winning a game since they have two
likely future NBA prospects in
Brandon Heath and Marcus Slaughter. Mohamed Abukar gives SDSU a
third scoring threat and any team that
has three players who average 14 points
or more per game definitely has a shot to
shock some teams. In the other sport, Jake
Peavy will have a spotlight on him if the
United States WBC team makes it to the
semifinals because Peavy is the probable
starter. If Mexico makes it to the semifinals, then another Padres player, Vinny
Castilla, will get some attention. The Mexican WBC team captain would be playing
just 30-minutes from his home country, at
his home ball park in front of the world.

�Art can get under your skin
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Writer
Students across campus
express their individuality
through numerous mediums.
Clothing, mode of transportation, hairstyles, and lingo give
clues to their personality. Tattoos are no longer limited to
certain stereotypes but are now
used as a means of expression by
a variety of people. People can't
judge what "type" of person is
prone to getting a tattoo because
the range has expanded to the
point of non-existence. Tattoos
are no longer synonymous with
drunken sailors or leather clad
rebels without causes. Gone are
the days of tattoos being only
socially accepted on men. Currently, there are so many people
that have tattoos that it's probably harder to find someone who
doesn't have one.
A lot of individuals get tattoos that are really personal
and mean something to them.
Some people even create their
own tattoo designs because the
design is unique and accurate
to who they are and what they
want to express about themselves. There are of course
individuals who get tattoos
for purely aesthetic reasons
or because tattoos happen to
be the "in" thing. They may
choose a tattoo by its popularity
and not necessarily its meaning.
These people probably have tattoos of dolphins, flowers, butterflies, or tribal bands they
picked off a wall or their tattoo
artist's portfolio. They probably have belly ring or tongue
piercing scars to remind them
of the days when piercings were
the in thing. Some of them will
probably regret their tattoos and
eventually end up having them
removed.
Where a tattoo is placed is
almost as important as what
kind of tattoo is chosen. A lot
of people get tattoos in places
that aren't visible when wearing
a t-shirt and jeans or whatever
attire they may be required to
wear at work. A lot of females
tend to get tattoos on their
lower back so that it's visible
when low pants or short tops are
worn. Males seem to get tattoos
wherever they deem aesthetically best. There is no norm
to predict who around you
may have a tattoo. The boisterous guy in class with piercings and a mohawk may be a
virgin to the ink needle while
the quiet introverted girl with
glasses who sits at the front
may have her whole back and
arms covered with an ornate
tattoo design. Hopefully, most
people get tattoos to feed
their individuality and not to
feed pop culture's "what's hot
today" top ten. Even if a tattoo
is later removed, scarring is
still visible and the experience
of getting the tattoo lingers in
the cranium so that the tattoo
lasts basically forever. People
should take heed when selecting a design and place for their
tattoo. People should also shed
the stereotypes they've been
conditioned to accept for the
tattooed and not judge someone superficially. In a world
where things once considered
extravagant are now mass produced, individuality is a hard
path to walk and a harder path
to create for oneself.
Letter to the Editor
In the Feb. 28th article,
"LGBTA keeps a low profile on
campus," we the members of the
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally Student Organization want to thank Natasha Heckendorn for taking the time to learn
about our group and for educating the CSUSM community. She
is the first representative from
the newspaper to acknowledge
and give us exposure in Pride.
As much as we are grateful for
this exposure we want to respond
to the statement of "low profile."
Many student organizations on
campus function remarkably well
with "noticeably low" numbers.
We are such an organization.
We do want to address the comments concerning campus climate. We realize that there may
be small numbers of reported
hate crimes, but we want to offer
a perspective on why the reports
are low. We believe the incidents
occur on a fairly regular basis, but
because there is risk involved in
reporting such incidents, people
are less likely to come forward
to report these incidents. According to the FBI (2000) the most
frequently reported single hate
crime offense was intimidation,
which accounts for 34%.
Hate crimes against LGBT
individuals, like other crimes
against oppressed groups, such
as racial discrimination and
sexual crimes, are personal and
are more difficult to report to
the authorities. Such reporting
puts an individual in a position
where they have to come out and
could ultimately be subjected to
added harassment. We suggest
that reasons for the low number
of reported hate crimes might
be more complex and could be
more of an indicator of the lack
of safety for our members on
campus.
We as an organization realize that there is a need for educating our campus about LGBT
and those issues that affect us.
We would like our campus newspaper to continue to educate the
community on LGBT matters
and inform your readers about
how they can act as our allies.
With respect,
Jay Franklin

Robbins Report
BY JASON ROBBINS
Special to The Pride
South Dakota traded abortion in for a
new Dodge pickup truck last week. The
potential ban is significant, but I reckon
that most Americans would prefer to
either praise or denounce abortion itself.
So let's do that.
I like to sum up the abortion issue in
three basic notions:
Notion #1: The abortionists (separate
from the more numerous passive prochoicers) suppress their consciences in
rejecting the embryo as human life, and
distort concepts like "choice", in order
to (a.) retain some power in a world that
they believe hates women, and/or (b.)
advance their work as diehard apologists
for selfish and irresponsible behavior.
Notion #2: The anti-abortionists (I'll
admit, some of them are bigoted, militant, and overbearing) can see the forest
and (like abolitionists before them) will
be on the right side of history, because
favoring the opportunity for life to proceed naturally over an unnatural convenience will always be more progressive.
Notion #3: George W. Bush was right
about one, and maybe only one, thing: In
time, the abortionists will lose. Eventually the public will decide that this particular form of death/murder is unnecessary, and public policy will bless its
desire. Many politicians on the left will
be observed quietly celebrating without
the monkeys on their backs.
So that's my take on the abortion.
I'm sure that you should agree; so go
ahead.
In other news, I met a nice girl last
week and she wants to go out. I also met
Alexis de Tocqueville and he wants me
to believe that equality can be a threat
to liberty.
Tell me: Should I ditch equality,
and deprive other females of an equal
opportunity to be with me by pursuing this nice girl? Or should I bolster
equality, apologize to this nice girl,
and give myself back up to the female
community?
If I choose the latter (extreme
equality) do I pose a threat to the
liberty of so many others? Will the
government come along someday and
restrict folks from committing to one
person? Will we be forced to share
our love with others (I bet this doesn't
sound too bad to some of you)?
Oh, the life of a political theorist!
John Locke, where are you when I
need you the most brother?
The lesson: Take an active interest
in your studies, for you might just find
yourself in a position to preserve or
destroy liberty someday.

Free-Ninety-Nine, are you outa your mind?
BY JENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
"Free" is a word that is loved
by all, but it is loved more so by
college students. It seems that all
college Students are broke, yet
many are spending a lot of money
for something that they can get
for absolutely FREE!
Students are always looking for
some kind of f un and entertainment; what better way is there
than to go to the movies! The
Cougar Movies Series is in its
second year and is offering free
movies every Tuesday night, all
semester long for students, staff,
faculty, and guests. The movies
are generally shown in the Clarke
Field House/ University Student
Union, with the exception of two
movies that will be showing in
Arts 240.
"There are free movies on
campus?!" said Business Administration major, Glenn Ramos.
"I have no idea what's free on
campus; I just assume they charge
us for everything."
Tim Bills, the Assistant Director at the Clarke Field House
explains that the Cougar Movies
Series is primarily sponsored
by the University Student Union
Advisory Board, Associated Students, Inc. and also by Student
Life & Leadership.
For movies that are shown on
campus before their DVD release
date, Cal State San Marcos pays
$750 to the movie distribution
company, Swank Motion Picture, Inc. for the rights to show
the movie. For movies that have
already been released on DVD,
the cost is $415 to show it on
campus. According to Mr. Bills,
funds to pay for these movies
come from student fees.
When asked why these movies
are shown just one night a week,
and not throughout the week, Mr.
Bills replied that the school has
a contract with the distribution
company that limits the showing
of the movies to a one-time only.
It would cost a lot more to show
the same movie more than once.
As to why the movies are
shown on Tuesdays nights, Mr.
Bills says that in the past, movies
were shown on the weekends as
non-alcoholic social programming. The number of attendees was low when movies were
shown on campus during the
weekends. This is why they are
now on Tuesday nights. With an
average of about 75 attendees,
Mr. Bills hopes to attract more
viewers.
Glenn Ramos thinks that the
student fees that are put towards
Photo courtesy of Sony Pictures
this program is money well
spent, if there is a great number
of people interested and attending "if I wasn't already busy on
Tuesday nights, I would go," says
Ramos. "But it is great for those
that live on or around campus "
Movies shown on campus were
chosen at the beginning of the
semester in the Student Organization Council meeting. Student
members of the USUAB, ASI
program board members, and
representatives from the club
organizations all had input into
what movies they wanted to be
shown.
"We chose and voted for not
only great blockbuster movies,

but also for movies that corre- ness Model is from the holistic

How To... Celobrate St. Patrick's Day
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
St. Patrick's Day is Friday, the
one day everyone is Irish and a
great day to party. In Ireland,
public houses (otherwise known
as pubs for short) are a huge part
of social life and act not only as
bars, but meeting places, social
clubs, post offices and grocery
stores, according to Irelandseye.
com. Luckily, there are plenty
of exciting events and places
to go to celebrate in Southern
California. Starting with San
Diego, in the Gaslamp Quarter
is Shamrock 2006. According to
Signonsandiego.com, they roll
out 30,000 feet of green astro
turf lined with Irish goodies
such as face painters, stilt-walkers, hat makers, green martinis and plenty of green beer.
F and Fifth Street will be
filled with music and dancing,
thanks to the Irish rock bands
The Fenians, Crossroads, The
Downs Family, NRG, Skelpin,
DJ Dan (among others), hometown Celtic bands and traditional Irish dancers. This event
has a $20 admission charge and
lasts from 4:00p.m until 2 a.m
for those who are 21 and over.
If an authentic Irish experience
is what you want, then pubs are
great places to feel like an Irishman or Irishwoman. Maloney's
Irish Pub is a f un restaurant and
bar with inviting booths and a

because you might miss it! Look
out for the little Maloney's sign

This place has a horseshoe bar, a

of live music, dancing of the jig,
yummy food, and endless pints
of Guinness. Hennessey's Tavern
on Mission Boulevard hangs the
Irish flag proudly for all to see to
welcome all ages to come in and
enjoy delicious food as you sit at
wooden tables with green chairs,

in Rancho San Diego, is the

w
BY JON THOMPSON
Pride Staff Writer
Last Thursday evening, CSUSM
was introduced to "One Woman's
Story," a presentation by Faiz AlAraji an Iraqi woman, on her her
recent experiences as an Iraqi.
The evening held much more than
expected, as Campus police had to
be called to the scene.
The event began with a brief
introduction by Fredi Avalos.
"Faiz has literally risked her
safety to be here tonight, because
she felt her message was so urgent
for the American people to hear."
Faiz Al-Araji began her presentation with a description ofhow she
is "now able to see Iraq from the
eyes of Americans, from watching your television." She explains
that she understands what is presented to Americans through the
media, and she understands this,
clothes and furniture."
Al-Araji asks, "What
about the people who
are dying? If you want
to be ignorant and
lazy, then take the
American media as it
is, but if you look for
the truth you will find
it." Al-Araji notes, "It
will be hard."

and working with the governing war, during American Bombing
administration in its killing of the raids over Iraq, dated 5/30/04: "I
miss visiting my sisters, friends,
Iraqi people."
Al-Araji characterized Ameri- and relatives. I miss having tea
can culture as creating "ignorant, with them, laughing, and talking
selfish and lazy people living in a about our kids, husbands, dresses,
and all other trivia. I miss shopping and buying new clothes and
shoes."
Going into a bit of the history
about the American Iraqi conflict,
Al-Araji references Desert Storm
as having "started a culture of
revenge."
She explains that "Americans
tried to get the Shiite people to
fight the Sunni because of their
relations with Saddam." With a
look of pride, Al-Araji then tells of
how the Sunni people would not
join the Americans. Her demeanor
changed again to a serious, yet
sympathetic tone as she described
the situation as an attempt by the
American administration to "send
a message about the Ba'athist ...
that they are monsters, and (that)
the world needs to be rid of them."
According to Al-Araji, Saddam's
revenge killings, that occurred
are also a result of this.
"It's the administration that is
pushing Iraq towards civil war by
separating the country by ethnicity t o..." she explained with some
English help from the audience,
"control, divide and conquer."
Americans seek to "change the
structure of Iraq by letting the
people group by race, and it has
ruined their society by dividing
them." Al-Araji then accuses the
Americans of "building a false
foundation," for the Iraqi government so that "it will later fall
apart."
"The US Administration is no
longer interested in just oil; all of
this is to build huge military bases
in order to stay in Iraq forever."

More than two dozen students cheered on the
second annual celebration of professional entertainers at the Drag Queen Show, sponsored by
the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender & Ally
student organization, on Monday, March 20.
Transfer student, Jay Franklin, has seen a
number of drag competitions while growing up
in Virginia, as well as a few here in San Diego,
but never on a campus before. "I'm expecting
a big performance aspeèt with a lot ofhumor,"
said Franklin.
"One of our goals is to encourage reflection on
the issue of gender," said LGBTA advisor, Anne
René Elsbree. "For some, Drag is something
funny, simply for entertainment. But most see
it as validation and as a way to gain personal
acceptance."

NJinth Annual Crash Awards
BY ENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
Acknowledging student efforts,
ASI prepares for the Ninth Annual
Crash Awards Night to be celebrated on April 26 at the Center
for Arts in Escondido to honor
dedicated student leaders and
organizations on campus.
There's usually one in every
class, maybe even two or three.
There are some all over campus.
They may be individuals, groups,
organizations, and they are sometimes even invisible. They are the
people and the organizations that
make a difference and deserve a
pat on the back and a thank you.
"This is a night where we have
the opportunity to recognize and
acknowledge student leaders and
student groups, rewarding them
for all of their efforts," says Sara
Gallegos, coordinator of Student
Activities for the ASI. This is Gallegos' second year organizing the
awards night.
The Crash Awards, formally
known as The Student Leadership Awards, was renamed to
"jazz it up a bit, and incorporate
our newly named mascot and
to promote campus pride," said
Gallegos. She hopes this event
will give everyone something to
be proud of about Cal State San
Marcos.
All students, staff and faculty
are eligible to pick up an application to nominate student groups,
individuals, events or organizations from this academic year.
Applications can be obtained in
the ASI Business Office located in
Commons 207, the Student Life &
Leadership Office in Craven 4116,
or on the ASI website at www.
csusm.edu/asi. All applications
for nomination are due to the ASI
Business Office by Friday, April
14, no later than 5 p.m.
The ceremony will start at
6:30 p.m. on Wednesday April

Drag performers, Regina Styles and Kairo Reed,
entertained audiences with six solo-lip-sync
performances, including provocative dancemoves and engaging interactions with attendees.
"The only difference between me and a woman
is I take my tits off and don't bleed once a
month," said Styles. "Despite that, I am all boy!
If you can't capture an audience, there's no
point doing drag."

the University community and
$5 for guests not affiliated with
CSUSM. Attendees can expect a
pasta dinner with performances
from student dance groups and a
highlight video made by student
Garvin Ha. The evening will be
hosted by Masters of Ceremonies Farshad Farzad and Elizabeth
Sheets, members of the ASI Programming Board.
Last year's attendance was
estimated at about two hundred
people. This year, Gallegos hopes
to draw in a crowd of at least two
hundred and fifty people. "Last
year, we had a dessert buffet,"
said Gallegos, with hopes that thé
pasta dinner may bring in larger
numbers.
In the past, recipients of the
Crash Awards have received desk
awards, trophies, andplaques. This
year, Gallegos plans on awarding
the recipients with plaques.

the Student at Large, the Vice

Representative positions have two

the title. Students are welcome to

added Doyle.
Last year, approximately 1,500

From SPEAKER page 1
tion "perpetuates their stories of
unrest to continue their presence
in Iraq."
When the topic of Saddam was
addressed more directly, Al-Araji,
inastraightforwardmanner, stated,
"Who cares about Saddam? He is
the past, Iraqis want to talk about
the future. Saddam is just a way
for the media to confuse the issue
of Iraq." Later, Al-Araji describes
the fall of Saddam as "trading one
thief for thousands."
Looking into the origins of the
"gangs and mobs" Al-Arji talked
about roaming the streets, her
own description was given on
her 6/26/04 blog: "All of us are in
doubt that these are Iraqis ... The
poor Iraqis stole furniture, refrigerators, and coolers ... but they
wouldn't burn the Ministries, nor
rob the National Museum... these
are the acts of organized gangs
who came from abroad ... awaiting the chance to strike ... People
are saying that many mercenaries entered the country with the
Americans ... mercenaries from
many nationalities."
Al-Araji's mood escalated as the
evening progressed, often reaching
emotional heights that some could
have viewed as hysteria, or associated with mass-media representations of the an Anti-American
rally. Al-Araji, however, describes
herself as on a mission that is "in
her heart, burning and dying, like
her heart," and describes the poor
situation in Iraqi where "the people
are dying from lack of food, where
there is no water, or electricity, and
the unsafe streets are filled with
gangs who roam lawless and free,
despite the presence of occupation
forces."
Al-Araji continued to emphasize
the "mess" made by the media's
emphasis on ethnic unrest, stating repeatedly that the "Iraqis
are all one people united under
one enemy, the Americans," and
observing how "no one has ever
asked about my ethnicity before
the war, now it is all you here from
people."
As the time came for questions,
NEWS
most in the audience expressed
praise and gratitude to Al-Araji's
for coming to CSUSM.
Asking how, with a withdrawal
of all Western aid and troops, she
saw the future of Iraq, Al-Araji
cut the question off, yelling that
she has "never seen any aid on the
streets and that even the U.N. and
UNICEF work against the Iraqi
people."
Soon laughing, Al-Araji talked
about a meeting with UNICEF at
the UN in Jordan, and mocks the
meeting, explaining what was said
to her, "We don't have any programs for Iraqi women now, but
maybe you can help us institute a
training course." Al-Araji continued to laugh.
Rephrasing the question into
how she saw Iraq getting rebuilt
with a complete withdraw of western influences, Al-Araji erupted
into a diatribe on how "Iraq was
one of the richest nations in the
Middle East. Now we have to pay
millions in compensation for war
to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran,
so they can live their fancy lives
... don't ask me about rebuilding,
because we will."
Again, more calmly, she was
asked, "Ok, my question was
where you foresee the future of
Iraq going, now that you are all
united as one people, how do you
plan to rebuild?
Al-Araji, again yelling, said
that "education in Iraq has always
been free, women have always had
the right to choose their husband,
drive cars and work and travel
freety. The Bush Administration
claims to have liberated the Iraqi
women. What have they done?
You tell me?"
After an angry exchange on
conditions for women in Iraq, AlAraji explained, "Yes, there are
educated patriots who can rebuild
Iraq, but they need to let Iraq
choose its own leaders and withdraw all the troops."
When asked about the elections
that took place in Iraq, whether
those were Iraq's chosen Iraqi
leaders, she answered, "Yes, I was
happy that it was arightfirststep,
but the American ambassador
THE PRIDE
interfered with his finger in the
new government and ruined the
future of Iraq. Up till now we still
have no government."
One might understand this
resentment of the current Iraqi
government, as she explained in
the presentation how her son was
detained by the new Interior Ministry, her blog describing him as
a journalist for a magazine title
translated as 'Conflict.' Al-Araji
explained how she "paid a ministry official thousands to get her
son released," and immediately
fled to the country of Jordan.
The air of hostility arose when
attendant Nadia Keilani, not a student, but was seen leaving with
Al-Araji, began loudly insulting
a student who identified herself
as Jordanian and argued with AlAraji over the nature of the military presence.
The Jordanian student promptly
left the room in tears as the rest of
the attendants began shouting over
each other. Campus police were
called to the scene and Keilani was
soon asked to accompany Campus
police out of the room.
Keilani's, only comment on the
issue was that "we came here to
hear Faiz, not for all this."
In the aftermath, student, Kym
Mckinzie, reflected that "It's
understandable, the animosity
she has. They think we support
the actions of the administration
just because they were elected."
Of the event, Mckinzie says she
was "Thrilled she (Al-Araji) was
willing to come tell her story to a
potential unwelcoming crowd."
As to the shouting, Alaina
Despars, student and friend of the
Jordanian Student, stated that, "it's

The ideal time t o start the application process
for a potential teaching internship upon
graduation is during your junior year
not acceptable to call names and
attack people, as we listened to
the speaker but didn't attack her.
We called the police because they
need to respect us and the campus,
it's not okay to put someone down
or what they think".
An official statement from the
Campus Police is still pending.
With the crowd dispersing, AlAraji responded to a suggestion
that she might have come across
somewhat harsh to American audiences, and might not be received
well because of it.
"I am this way because I want
the troops to pull out, to save you
from getting killed and to save
Iraqis."
When asked what she meant by
'killing us,' she replied, "because
Iraqis are targeting and killing
Americans." As to media reports
of Al-Queda and other foreign
: insurgents fighting allied troops,
she responded with a look of
strength and pride.
"Yes, in the beginning, maybe
there were foreigners fighting the
Americans, but now it is all Iraqi
patriots, united as one,fightingand
killing the Americans wherever
they can. The Iraqi and Muslim
people are angry, the Americans'
violence pushes violence."
Avalos closed the evening with
thanks to Ms. Al-Araji, and the
statement: "This is a forum for
peace and dialogue, because we
are in a war. Faiz is just one voice
to bring into the mix of what you
learn. That's what the University
is about, hearing different ideas
from different cultures, not to hear
one or two sides to a story, but
to hear twelve. Peace has to start
here."

On Campus: A lesson in ethics and leadership
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
CLIMB (Center for Leadership
Innovation & Mentorship Building), in conjunction with Alpha
Kappa Psi, hosted the Ethics and
Leadership breakfast seminar at
the Clarke Field House on March
17. CLIMB's purpose is to "train
and teach students how to be
better leaders and mentors" said
senior and Alpha Kappa Psi representative Mary Miller.
CLIMB offers these breakfast
seminars on leadership every
spring semester. Past topics have
included Women's Leadership
and Shared Leadership. Miller
wishes to inform the campus
that "these seminars are free and
open to all students and faculty,"
and that she highly recommends
them to both.
Patrick J. Kuhse, International
Speaker, Trainer and Consultant
on Business Ethics, was the guest
speaker for this seminar, bringing
his presentation, "Prominence to
Prison: Why Leaders Can Do
Dumb Things".
He shared lessons learned in
his journey from being a successful stockbroker in San Diego,
to his involvement in a financial
fraud scheme.
Students, faculty, and community members came to the
seminar for many different reasons. Keisuke Manabe, Business major, came hoping "to
learn the relations between boss
and subordinate." Senior Mike
Tompkins attended because, "Dr.
Kholes mentioned that it would
be an informative discussion on
ethics." Community member Dr.
Rick Brydges, of the Arc Leadership Group, was invited to the
seminar by a few CSUSM faculty members that he met at the
Kravitz Institute.
Dr. Brydges expressed a great
deal of gladness for deciding to
attend the event.
Before her giving her enthusiastic introduction of Mr. Kuhse,
Dr. Raj Pillai offered thanks to
those who helped make the seminar possible. Alpha Kappa Psi
President Karen Haynes, and
Gretchen Sampson were among
those proud contributors.
When Kuhse got up to speak,
he said, "I am not here to teach
you business ethics, but to teach
you ethics in general." He then
went on to explain how unethical behavior led him to become
an international fugitive for four
years to avoid criminal prosecution.
His story taught us the "Eight
Critical Thinking Errors" that
lead to unethical behavior. First
mentioned was "Entitlement,"
or believing that you deserve
something for nothing. Also
listed were "Super Optimism,"
thinking that you're better than
From CRASH, page 1
The process which determines
the recipient of an award includes
an award selection committee that
is comprised of six staff members,
predetermined by Gallegos. "Most
[committee members] work handin-hand with the organizations,"
said Gallegos. After the committee reviews each application, it
ranks them within each category
and then makes a solid decision.
The Crash Award categories
include: The Cougar Wall ofFame,
which was the 1 individual award
that was ever offered at The Crash
Awards night. The Cougar Wall
of Fame is for Seniors only. There
is a running plaque housed in the
Clarke Field House's trophy case.
Other award categories include:
Outstanding Freshman Student,
Outstanding Sophomore Student,
Outstanding Junior Student, Student Advisor of the Year, Best
Campus Organization of the Year,
Student Organization Member of
the Year, Campus Organization
Member of the Year, Best New
or Revived Student Organization,
Best Student Organization of the
Year, Outstanding Collaborative
Event between two or more Campuses or Student Organizations,
and the Most Outstanding Program Sponsored by a Campus or
Student Organization.
st
everybody else, and "Seemingly
Un-important Decisions," using
Martha Stewart as an example.
"Rationalizing," was mentioned
alongside "Victim-it is," where
those caught play the role of the
victim. "Affection Disconnection," an important one to avoid,
in which those we love start to
drift as unethical behavior makes
a person feel detached. "Lazy,"
speaks for itself, while "Situational Ethics," speak all too often
when people pick and choose
which set of ethics will serve
them.
If these terms weren't enough,
he even offered a bonus critical
thinking error: PIG, which is an
acronym for "Personal Instant
Gratification".
Kuhse urges college students
to "question things. It's a great
vehicle to keep yourself out of
trouble now and in the future."
He also adds that, "loved ones
are the victims of our unethical
behavior."
Following the seminar, a few
attendees offered what they
thought of Kuhse's presentation. Dr. Brydges confirmed,
"The more we know about ethics
in business and life, the better,
because ethics are a fundamental
key part of work, but difficult to
address."
Freshman Christina Ahmadpour found the event " helpful...
I do have ethical values and now
I am confident that I can stick
to them," while sophomore Jan
Peters said, "I learned from his
mistakes. I realize that to be successful you have to make ethical choices." Others, like freshman Sarah Anderson, learned
from Kuhse that, "money doesn't
define wealth." Senior Paul Kennedy even fook Kuhse's advice
to 'question things' right on the
spot, asking about the speaker,
"How much did we pay him?"

Toughest girls on campus at the 'The Clarke'
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
BY NATASHA HECKENDORN
Pride Staff Writer
Rain and snow deterred all but
two brave young girls, turning
Saturday morning boot camp
into a semiprivate fitness class
for Ana Muslin and Katrena
Robinson, the toughest girls at
Cal State San Marcos. While
most people were warm in their
homes, Ana, Katrena and their
instructor Lisa Bengtson were
working up a sweat, pushing
their fitness limits and sharpen-
1 L/A1
ing their coordination as the rain
poured down outside.
Bengtson's original plan was
to have the class outside, but
the ground was still wet from
last night's rain and dark clouds
hung threateningly low in the
sky. "I had to improvise because
of the rain," said Bengtson as she
moved the drill equipment into
the gymnasium. The rain came
pouring down halfway through
the class, tapping on the roof
and echoing through the gym,
adding percussion to the dance
music playing over the speakers.
While waiting for class to
start, I asked Muslin what motivated her to come out Saturday
morning for boot camp.
"I want to look good for spring
break," said Muslin, who is a
senior at Cal State San Marcos.
Like a lot of women, Muslin was
motivated by a certain swimsuit.
"Spring break is in two weeks
and I'm going to Florida."
For Muslin, fitness is just a
part of life and she works out
regularly not only to look good,
but also to stay healthy.
"I try to work out three times
a week, but as a biology major,
it's hard to find the time," says
Muslin.
Boot Camp is a somewhat
misleading title for what the
class actually was. The style of
the class resembled boot camp
drills, but Bengtson's instruction was nothing like that of a
sergeant. She was an encouraging and energetic coach, and
the girls responded well to her
teaching methods.
Even though Muslin and Robinson were clearly no strangers
to strenuous exercise, Bengtson
managed to put together a challenging workout that combined a
variety of techniques including
palates and yoga.
"I'm not sore now, but I'm
sure I will be by tomorrow," said
Muslin after class.

Bengtson hopes to make organized fitness classes a monthly,
or even weekly, event.
"Now is the time to generate
interest. Classes create a motivating environment and teach
exercises that people can incorporate into their own work out,"
said Bengtson, who is also the
fitness and wellness coordinator
at Cal State San Marcos.
"Now is the time to learn how
to exercise safely and effectively.
It's not about doing 500 sit ups;
it's about having a quality work
out that you enjoy. It's about progressing slowly so that you stay
with it. My goal is to provide a
variety of fitness activities for
all levels."
The classes offered at the Field
House are free and open to all
Cal State San Marcos students.
Students don't need to sign up
or bring any special equipment
unless specified by the class.
For more information about upcoming events, visit the website,
stop by the Field House, or call
Bengtson directly at x7407. She
is available Monday thru Friday
and sometimes on Saturdays
for any fitness or wellness concerns. She can help students put
together a fitness schedule, learn
how to work out a certain muscle
group or answer any other fitness related questions. "If I don't
know the answer, I'd be more
than happy to help you find it,"
added Bengtson.

Jock Talk With Josh: student run radio
THE PRIDE
Tuesday, March 21, 2006
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Since this
is a commuter
campus, I
can picture
this scene in
every vehicle converging on Twin
Oaks Valley Road; your favorite
beverage in the cup holder, cell
phone on your lap, running late
to class and your radio bumpin'
with tunes or tailk.
Being a sports freak, I jump
around from the Scott & BR
show on 1090AM to Dan Patrick
on ESPN Radio to Jim Rome,
and for a little variety, I tune into
Howard Stern on Sirius Radio.
Everybody has a favorite show
that they listen to, but wouldn't
it be awesome if your favorite
show came from a CSUSM student-operated radio station?
Well, I am trying my best to
make that a reality. Right now
I am leading a group that is
researching the possibility of
creating a radio station for the
campus. This is an idea that has
been talked about on this campus
for some time now, but nothing
has been done thus far.
Last semester I was sitting
in class when my buddy Blake
Brewer asked the question,
"Why don't we have a campus
radio station?" My answer was
that this campus is still so new
that there are still a lot of things
that need to be established.
In recent years, CSUSM has
expanded enormously. When
I started here in Fall 2003, the
library was a little hole in the
wall located in Craven Hall
because the Kellogg Libaray
wasn't completed. Also, a big pile
of dirt stood in place of where
Markstein Hall is now located.
The development that makes
me the happiest, of course, is
that before Dr. Stephen Nichols
became athletic director, I never
thought I would be able to attend
a CSUSM college baseball, softball, or soccer game, but next
school year I will.
Those things clearly didn't just
happen over night. It took a long
process and I am sure this radio
station project will also take
some time. That is the problem
that I am facing. The individuals involved in this project are
all graduating within a year. My
fear is that this project will die
once the five of us graduate and
all of the work that we have done
will go by the wasyside.
With that said, if there are any
motivated first-year or secondyear students that are interested
in participating in this project-,
don't hesitate to e-mail me at
sando026@csusm.edu, or stop
me on campus because even if I
can'tfinishthis project, I want to
see it get done.
Imagine what a campus radio
station could do for CSUSM.
Take, for example, what "The
Pride" has done for the students.
This paper has given the students a voice regarding a wide
array of topics. It has also provided opportunity for many of
the writers. Former Ombudsman and editor-in-chief, Michael
Dolan, now works for the local
newspaper, "Today's Local
News", in San Marcos. Myself,
I have been writing for the "San
Diego Union-Tribune" for over
two years now.
Some of my buddies in the
radio industry got their start at
college radio stations. The new
host of Jammin' Z90's morning
show, Chino, got his start at Palomar College. Tre, another host
at Z90, got his start at Cal State
Northridge. Also, my buddy DJ
Todd E. Todd from Z90 started at
KCR, the SDSU radio station.
A radio station would also
help out other departments on
campus. Imagine our sports
teams having an outlet by which
games could be broadcasted, or
imagine campus events being
recognized all around the world.
The campus got notoriety during
the Michael Moore situation a
while back, but how often do
you find yourself explaining that
there is a CSU campus in North
County, San Diego?
I must stress the fact that I am
not looking for people who want
to be on air. That time will come,
but there is still a ton of research
that needs to be done and then
implementation of that research.
Two weeks ago I met with Jonathan Poullard, Dean of Students,
and I think he hit the nail on the
head regarding this project. He
says that this university provides
opportunity for those that want
to build and create something.
Once again, e-mail me at
sando026@csusm.edu if you are
interested in making this dream
a reality. Who knows, maybe the
next Jim Rome or Howard Stern
is a CSUSM student.

Pride Staff Writer
The CSUSM Surf Team's A
Team fought its way to a 7th place
finish last Friday, March 10, at
the NSSA State Championships
at Churches State Beach in San
Clemente, earning them a spot to
compete in the coveted National
Championships in June.
Cold rain and wind beat down
hard on the contest site Friday,
making the conditions nearly
impossible to deal with. The
NSSA College Season, already
plagued with poor surf this year,
was forced to run the contest.
The previous event scheduled
last month for Santa Barbara's
Campus Point had been called off
due to poor surfing conditions.
With zero swell in the water, the
line-up looked fit for a waterskiing competition. While the State
Championship at least had something to ride, the stormy conditions made it tough for surfers to
find decent waves to ride.
Unlike most sports where the
playingfieldis even, with surfing,
better waves offer the opportunity for higher points. Few good
waves were to be found on Friday,
and those who were lucky enough
tofindthem usually advanced on.
College teams from up and
down the California coast toughed
it out and made do with what they
had to work with, though. Competitors and spectators alike huddled under the scaffolding and
few tents that hadn't been blown
away with the wind, hiding from
the rain and cold. They showed
how tough the sport can be and
braved heats throughout the day in
the jumbled up, chest-high, freezing surf.
The Cougar's 7th place finish
was fueled by standout performances from Sean Hastings and
Lucas Dalager who advanced
through heats and racked up
points all the way up to the Quarter Finals. The top CSUSM placing was earned by Kevin Onizuka,
who made it all the way to the
finals in the Bodyboard division,
placing 4th in the Final.
The team will bring the heat,
and compete in one more event
rescheduled for Huntington
Beach's Ninth Street on May 13
to determine their overall season
standing. The A team's spot is
now secured for Nationals, but
will duke it out to try and up their
overall ranking for the season.
The B team's spot for the National
Championships is up in the air,
and could have a shot, based upon
their result at the next contest.
The surf team encourages Cougars to spend a day at the beach
and show their school spirit by
rooting the team on. Just look
for the customized CSUSM tent
with the surfing Cougar! The
NSSA National Championship is
scheduled for June 22-24 at Salt
Creek Beach in Dana Point, so
mark your calendars! To keep up
with scheduling, ratings, and heat
times, check out www.NSSA.org.

debate on the issues raised. One student
who asked a non-softball question was
told by a girl behind him to "shut up."
Another student, a Jordanian girl, who
had spent the vast majority of her life in
the Middle East, spoke out in disagreement with many of the points Al-Araji
presented, noting that her experience
in the region had been vastly different.
Although the girl phrased her argument
politely, a member of the audience behind
her remarked that "she was ignorant,"
while another audience member similarly
insulted her and forced the student to
leave the auditorium. Following the exit
of this student, about 10-15 fellow students got up and left, without comment.

Freedom of expression and intellectual
discourse was stifled Thursday night,
March 16, in Markstein 125, as polite
debate was exchanged for insults and
intolerance. The fireworks at the forum
on the situation in Iraq erupted shortly
after questions started being taken by
the speaker and Iraqi journalist Faiz AlAraji.
Although many students simply agreed
with Al-Araji's position and comments,
or asked for further expansion on topics
she had touched upon, a few students
attempted to engage Al-Araji in polite
The question is: What happened on
Thursday night that audience members at
a Cal State San Marcos forum felt it necessary to insult their fellow peers? Why
were those students who had a differing
view of the situation in Iraq not allowed
to speak or ask questions? Wasn't that
what the forum was all about? Instead of
the exodus of the 10 or 15 students that
left, why didn't one of the several teachers
in the room get up and ask the few audience members who were being insulting
toward those asking questions of a differing view point to leave?
The event ended with a round of
applause, after which Al-Araji referenced
back to the Jordanian student's remarks.
Comparing the Jordanian girl to Iraqis
who support the current U.S. occupation,
Al-Araji noted that "there are people like
that in every war," or in other words, calling the girl, a student at CSUSM, a traitor.
The lecture on Thursday night was
interesting and illuminating, yet it was
also biased and one-sided. The forum
was supposed to be a presentation of new
ideas and differing cultural perspectives,
yet because of the actions of some, the
forum failed on both accounts. The question remains: what happened to respect
and the free exchange of ideas March 16,
in Markstein Hall?

Okay, you're going to think that
you hate me, but read the whole
thing.
Did you hear about the upcoming "Drag Show" event on
campus? Yeah, they're describing
it as a "celebration of professional
and local drag stars."
First off, understand that I have
no clue as to what this celebration
will entail and that I'm a proponent
of gay rights and same-sex marriage. I have papers to prove it.
"Jason, why do you complain
about stuff that you're not interested in?" "Why don't you just
leave people alone?" They're
legitimate questions.
In this case, you can bl ame
someone else (at least partially).
Earlier in the semester, one of my
professors joked about how they
shove diversity down our throats at
CSUSM. This professor went on
to explain that diversity is useful,
noting that no single group's experience is the source of all knowledge.
As much sense as the professor
made, I was still shocked. This
marked thefirsttime that I've ever
heard a professor question the
bearings of our ship.
I wish I could remain a grump

and agree, but I think I disagree
with my professor. Actually, I disagree on a technicality. Nobody
forces anyone to attend events for
prostitutes, communists, or drags
stars.
No. Students hold these events
for themselves. They invite some
like-minded folks, and blow
enough smoke until everyone feels
jolly in their bright red diversity
suits—and that's cool.
Returning to the "Drag Show",
I'm fine with the plan (not to say
they needed my permission). I'm
confident that drag queens and
such have something positive to
contribute to one's world view.

But can I ask a question? What's
the big deal? I mean, okay, some
dudes like to dress like girls, and
some girls like to dress like dudes.
I get it.
One could argue that minority
groups (like those who support
drag people) hold such events in
order to gain acceptance in society. That's a noble cause.
Are the folks behind the "drag
show" primarily driven by such a
noble cause?
In the online announcement for
the event, it calls on one to "celebrate the breaking of gender."
Is this any different from gaining
acceptance in society? I think it is,
What
i f I'm
for it seems in the former, acceptance is negligible.
In any event, the "big deal"
seems to be about breaking
gender.
The desire to "break gender"
does diversify the view of gender.
Although I have to wonder: Does
this type of cause work to create
the feeling that groups want to
shove diversity down our throats?
Another question: Do some of us
get irritated when it appears that
other folks glorify their differences with little respect for our
acceptance? Would that be very
moral of us? I fear that it would
not.

How t o... Spring Break' in Southern California
BY ANDREW RUISENO
Pride Staff Writer
The time of year all college students look
forward to is upon us, and no, we are not
talking about graduation ... it is this year's
spring break! Sure, you may be graduating
this May, and for many this means entering the real world, so all the more reason
to have one last carefree celebration as a
college student. For those of you students
who will not be graduating in the spring,
this is your week to forget about the trials
and tribulations school seems to bring with
it. However, if you do not have the airline
tickets or the unlimited budget most would
love to have on this down time, here are
some local ways to spend your spring break
in the state that many college students flock
to from around the country.
Spring break is upon us for the Cai State
San Marcos student body and here are
some options for those of you who have to
stay local in a big way. San Diego is the
place to be, so it is not going to be hard
finding what to do but rather which event
to choose.
Belmont Park itself has more to offer
than its Giant Dipper rollercoaster; it offers
a nice day at the beach with that special
someone or friends with arcades and water
sport rentals. Mission Beach offers a great
night life, as well, with restaurants, bars
and clubs. If you happen to stop by the local
21 and up spot Plum Crazy, which pulls in
a younger college age crowd, be sure to ask
for the 911. The 911, according to signonsandiego.com, is the house specialty which
consists of 23 ounces of seven different
liquors that resembles a fruit punch.
Another spot is Sea World, which is $53
per adult. It may sound terribly cliché, but
who doesn't love getting splashed òr least
watching people getting splashed by the
10,000-pound killer whale Shamu? Plus,
it is a good way to kill an afternoon just
walking around eating and making fun of
the tourists while you take pictures of every
event, including your kisses with dolphins
(it could happen).
Or if Sea World is not what you would
consider a good time, there is always the
San Diego Museum of Art, where walking and looking at known art works can be
fulfilling and relaxing under the California
sun.
The San Diego Zoo also offers more
attractions then one can visit in just one
afternoon. With the exhibits and shows, the
San Diego Zoo is truly a place to explore
for $32 per adult ticket.
For the crowd of Cai State San Marcos
students that are under 21, there is no
need to just drive down to Tijuana; there

are places in San Diego for you, too. Lestat's Coffeehouse is this writer's personal
favorite. According to signonsadiego.com,
Lestat's Coffeehouse was named after the
famed brat prince vampire character from
Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles (most
notable for the novel "Interview with the
Vampire"). Not only do you get gourmet
coffee, but a range of gourmet desserts
and salads and sandwiches. Not to mention Lestat's Coffeehouse also has a form
of entertainment every nigtt, whether i tis
a rock band or comedian.
Soma is also a good all-ages venue to
watch bands play, and this spring break be
sure to catch Bleeding Through on March
31 and the punk band Subhumans on April
L
For those of you who are over 21, there
are all the usual suspects for this spring
break. The Beauty Bar, according to
signonsandiego.com, is one place where it
asks "the beautiful people ... the hip ones
anyway ... out to play in city heights." The
Beauty Bar is a chic location for the San
Diego crowd who is into fashion, cocktails,
and a 6 dollar manicure while you drink.
In Hillcrest, Hamburger Mary's offers a
good time for Gays, Lesbians and friends
of the community on Sunday nights.
This spring break if you are staying in
San Diego, do not get disappointed; there
is so much to do here, all you have to do is
decide where and when, and what next.

Controversial cartoon brings life to race relations
BYRACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
This season on Aaron McGruder's "The Boondocks," an episode was dedicated to Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr. He was alive,
but old. He wasn't quite the hero
that we remember, but America
wasn't quite the place that he
expected after 40 years. At the
end of that episode, Dr. King
gave an incredible speech and
moved to Canada.
"The Boondocks" is not the
typical cartoon. It incorporates
Photo courtesy of Cartoon Network
Japanese anime with adult-oriented language and humor.
According to Boondockstv.
com, McGruder's series was originally a comic strip in an independent newspaper. The comic
strip has become a huge success
and is now published in over 150
newspapers and magazines. In
November 2005, the cartoon premiered on Cartoon Network's
Adult Swim.
The series follows two African-American brothers, Huey
and Riley Freeman, who were
adopted by their Granddad. Their
Granddad took the inner-city kids
and moved them to white suburbia. There is no plot, just their
everyday life.
Many of the storylines are
about race relations. Rather than
completely focusing on racism,
the show also touches on biracial identity, political values,
and inner-city hardships. Huey,
the cartoon's protagonist, wants
to fix the problems with Afriean-Americans. He knows that
racism exists, but not everyone
around him does. Huey's younger
brother Riley, on the other hand,
is one of those people who are
oblivious.
There's nothing new about the
story that many people have not
heard about or experienced. But
"The Boondocks" does bring
something new to the table: The
characters use the 'N-word' so
freely. Yes, Huey, the ten-year
old, uses the word on a daily
basis. Yes, Granddad and his
friend, Ruckus, use the word to
describe every black man on the
show. And yes, Dr. King used it
in his incredible speech.
Some people mayfindit offensive; others will say it's keeping
it real.
One episode of "The Boondocks" will not only make you
laugh, it will make you think.
The content is fresh and the mes-

sage of each storyline will give
you a whole new perspective.
If you can bear to stay awake
on Sunday nights, be sure to
catch "The Boondocks" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim at 11

p.m. It's worth the 30 minutes of
entertainment. If you can't get
enough of McGruder's animated
series, read his cartoon strip
every day on boondockstv.com.
'Black. White.' brings new color to television
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
"Black. White." is not only a new show
on FX, but a social experiment. Airing on
Wednesday nights at 10:00p.m, executive
producers R.J Cutler and Ice Cube take
viewers on a journey that explores the subtleties of racism in America.
"Everybody thinks of a Klan man standing with a shotgun, yelling, 'Keep it white.'
Everybody is worried about the guy with
the black power, leather jacket on, Afro ...
worried about those kinds of people and
not really knowing that racism is not just
the obvious," said Ice Cube, according to
the associated press.
The show follows two families, both
middle-class and with educated parents,
but one family is black and one family is
white. Thanks to Hollywood makeup artists, the families change races by air brushing, skin paint, and wigs. Then the families
switch roles for the six weeks of produc-
tion, immersing themselves in each other's
culture. For example, Rose, the 18 year old
daughter of the white family, joins a young
black poetry group, and Brian, the father
of the black
family, gets
a job as a
b artender
at a bar that
consists of
predominately white
c ustomers.
The family
lives in the
same household with Photo courtesy of FX networks
each other
for
the
whole process, which gives both families
an opportunity to discuss their experiences
in each other's skin.
According to Latimes.com, Oprah Winfrey was quoted as saying that 'Black.
White.' was a "groundbreaking documentary series." Some may agree that the show
has potential to open dialogue about the
issues of race that still persist today, but
others may take
the show as not
such a great idea.
"Black. White."
has been criticized as being an
unscripted reality show rather
than a documentary. According
to Latimes.com,
journalist and cultural critic Nelson
George believes
the series could
potentially aggravate racial tensions, particularly in L.A., rather than leading to
more understanding.
Tensions have run high at times in the
families' household as the black parents do
not feel as though the white parents are getting what the experience is trying to show
them while the white parents feel at times
that the black parents are waiting for them,
to say or do something wrong. It seems, so
far anyway, that the children are learning
the most from the experiment. According
to an article by Chip Crews from Washingtonpost.com, "Nick (son of the black
family) and Rose (daughter of the white
family) suggest that people their age tend to
base their opinions of others on the individual rather than on skin color. Unlike their
fathers, they're neither smug nor mired in
anger, and they're far quicker to learn."
Like any controversial topic, the show has
come with mixed reviews. Regardless of
criticisms, the show is stirring up dialogue,
which is a start at accomplishing what the
creators set out to do. According to AllHipHop.com, Ice Cube said," 'Black. White.'
will force people to challenge themselves
and really examine where we stand in
terms of race in this country."
Amanda Bynes is 'The Man' <f§. » m
BY RACHEL CARRIE WANN
Pride Staff Writer
While the works of William
Shakespeare have been presented
on the big screen many times
over for the young adult and teen
audience in recent years, never
before has the gender-bending
comedy of "Twelfth Night" been
given such an innocent yet comedie modern twist.
While the tragic "O", and
teen comedy "Ten Things I
Hate About You" helped introduce a younger audience to
some of Shakespeare's finest,
those remakes of "Othello" and
"Taming of The Shrew" lack the
endearing nature of She's The
Man.
The plot here brings the protagonist, aptly named Viola
after "Twelfth Night's" leading
lady, to assume the role of her
look-a-like brother Sebastian, in
order to continue her high school
Photos courtesy of Dreamworks
soccer career at a new school
after her girls' soccer program is
cancelled.
The resemblance to "Bend It
Like Beckham" ends there, and
the familiar Mean Girls-esque
high school mentality prevails
as a complicated love triangle
ensues. However, this exceptionally twisted knot of unrequited
love hilariously features the
beautiful Olivia who finds herself attracted to Sebastian, who
really is Viola posing as Sebastian, who has already fallen for
the devastatingly attractive Duke
(yes, named after Duke Orsino of
the original) who loves Olivia...
and then we're back to Sebastian, who neither Duke or Olivia
knows is really Viola.
Phew!
Amanda Bynes
shines here as both
the adorable Viola and
the chubby-cheeked
Sebastian, playing up
her faux masculinity.
While not entirely
convincing as a boy,
the slapstick humor
that comes into play
whenever genders are
swapped is predictable, yet still likeable
enough to keep an
audience pleasantly
amused.
Certainly not on<e of the finest
films of 2006, "She's The Man"
can at least promise a handful of
laughs from the lighthearted, if
not goofy, humor from Amanda
Bynes. This should come as no
surprise to those who are familiar with Bynes' comedic beginnings on Nickelodeon. Bynes
prevails in her dual roles, captivating almost every scene, and
her dorky cuteness practically
overshadows the lackluster of
her supporting cast of unknowns,
enough so as to keep those at
least moderately familiar with
Shakespeare's original works
sufficiently entertained..

Springtime Wedding Event
Ceremony emphasizes equal rights
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
Five mock couples participated
in a Spring Wedding Ceremony to
emphasize and promote inclusiveness and marriage equality for samesex partners on Monday, April 3.
The demonstration, which was
jointly coordinated by six student
organizations, including LGBTA,
ASI, PAN, Triota, the Women's
Studies Student Association, and
Amnesty International, received
some resistance from the College
Republican club, but was otherwise
well-attended and supported.
"It's the same commitment in
marriage, same-sex or not," said
Rev. Ned White, who performed the
mock ceremony.
"We want to show in reference
that love equals love, equals love,
and that in essence, it's all the same
thing," said Cheyenne Barr, director of Women's Issues. To express
marriage equality, the mock ceremony featured one heterosexual

The first 50th Congressional
Debate attracted a full house as
voters listened to 14 candidates
address key national and local
priorities on Thursday, March
23, courtesy of the Cal State San
Marcos Alumni Association.
"The Alumni Association
wanted to host this event as a
service to the voters of the 50th
District," said Jack Burke, director of government affairs for the
Cal State San Marcos Alumni
Association. "We believe that
the voters should have the opportunity to hear the candidate's
views, and the candidates have
the opportunity to discuss their
views and share their views with
you, the voter."

The forum highlighted five
congressional priorities, including immigration policy, military
involvement in Iraq, an ethics
reform in Congress, relocation of
Lindbergh Field airport to Miramar, and the issue of raising the
ceiling of the national debt.
Moderated by Kent Davy,
editor of the North County
Times newspaper, the extensive
14 candidate participation limited the potential for a thorough
debate-style format. Due to the
vast number of candidates, the
event featured a more forumstyle format, with many speakers
scrambling to adhere to the strict
90 minute response time per
question. Overall, each candidate
was given an allotment of ten and
a half minutes, including opening

Twenty-five female speakers participated in the "In Your
Face!" demonstration on Tuesday, March 2,lto raise their
voices on issues of rape and violence against women through
orating victim testimonials.
The fourth annual "In Your
DEBATE, SEE page 3
Face Event" demonstration,
organized and sponsored by
Triota, the Women's Studies Honor Society, along with
Women Studies Student Association and Amnesty International,
served to bring light to issues of
violence against women.
The four-hour oration in the
Library Plaza showed women
of different ages, ethnicities
and social backgrounds coming
together to unite in the awareness of violence and recognize
the women themselves.

Anyone can be nominated for
recognition: male, female, staff,
students, and faculty. "If you
nominate someone, he or she will
be recognized. No one is better
than the other. There is no top
nominee," said Lund.
There is no panel of judges
deciding who wins what because
"every person nominated has
touched at least/one person's life
and deserves to be honored," said
Cheyenne Barr, coordinator of
Women's HER-story month and
co-founder of the ASI Women's
Center.
Nomination forms are available in the ASI Women's Center,
(located in Commons 201), ASI
Front Office (Commons 207),
Student Life & Leadership Multicultural Programs (Craven Hall
4110). The nomination forms are
also available to be printed out
online at www.csusm.edu/sll/
nominatinoform.pdf.
"Students from all areas of the
campus are welcome; you don't
have to be a literature student to
attend. In fact, a lot of the most
interesting writers I know were
never formally literature students," said Wallace.
While Myers had a rewarding
writing experience at CSUSM,
Graham had a different college
experience. Graham did not major
in creative writing or literature.
Just as Wallace had mentioned
about writers that were not formal
literature students, Graham developed her writing from critical and
analytical writing.
"Anything that I write is based
on my desire to understand the
world and investigate unfamiliar
or difficult experiences, feelings
and ideas," said Graham.
Wallace encourages students
who are writers or are thinking
about becoming writers to attend
the event and learn from these
two talented readers.
"I think that literary readings
are always important because
they make clear that artistic possibilities for writers in America
are alive and well, even if no one
on TV would ever tell you so,"
said Wallace.
Wallace has been hosting readings for over a dozen years now.
He is currently developing the
Community and World Literary
Series and this poetry event will
be thefirstof many events for the
program. He also hopes to build
a community of writers on the
campus.
"The poetry is going to be more
interesting than anything I have
to say about it," said Wallace.
The event is scheduled to begin
at 7 p.m. in the Clarke's Grand
Salon.
Students who are interested in
getting involved with the Women's Center should pick up an
application to apply for one of the
four job openings at the Women's Center. Applications are due
Friday, April 7, and can be found
in Commons 207.
Both Lund and Barr could name
several dozen people to each nominate for recognition. To name a
few, Alina Sheikh, Lori Walkington, and Lissa Lim are some of the
volunteers in the Women's Center
who came highly recommended
by Lund and Barr. They are not
part of ASI and do not get paid or
receive any type of credit for their
involvement, making them eligible for the award.
"They have all hit the ground
running," said Barr. "They have
not had any formal training or
background in campus leadership, and yet have become dedicated, passionate advocates."
"They are quick blossoming
flowers," said Lund. "They have
gotten involved and have bloomed
instantly."
For Lissa Lim, her passion
for Women Studies started with
her boyfriend. "He took Women
Studies 101 and would always talk
about the issues they discuss in
class." This sparked Lim's interest
enough to take the course herself.
The class exposed her to issues
she felt so strongly about that she
had to get involved and do something to make a difference.
Those nominated will receive
a certificate of recognition at the
Women's Studies Commencement Celebration. Because this is
the first year of doing this, Barr
anticipates that it can only get
better.
Barr explained, "In just one
year, we've got the Women's
Center. Imagine what it's going to
be like next year!"

Fourteen of the 18 candidates
vying for former Randy "Duke"

participated in the event, including Republicans Brian Bilbray,
Bill Boyer, Richard Earnest,
Bill Hauf, Delecia Holt, Howard
Kaloogian, Jeff Newsome, Victor

Francine Busby and Chris Young;

"I am pleased that our Alumni
Association has stepped forward
to partner with us in the way
of providing the forum, and an
opportunity for all of us to hear
from individuals with an interest

President Karen Haynes. "I want

and to question how our democracy works. We are all a part of
that process this evening."
The 50th Congressional District
voters will have the opportunity
to select the next representative
in the April 11 Special Election.
The chosen candidate will serve
the six months remaining of Cunningham's term, and be required
to re-campaign in June. If no
candidate wins a majority vote, a
runoff election will be postponed
for June 6, and coincide with the
scheduled primary election date
for the next two-year term.
Here are some of the highlights
representing the candidates on
specific views:
Immigration Policies

problem we are facing today." William Griffith (I)
Military Occupation in Iraq
"You cannot accomplish a mission if you don't know what it is.
We need to know why we go to

they return home." - Francine

On Campus: Students celebrate Cesar Cavez
BY KATRENA ROBINSON
Pride Staff Writer
On March 24, the urban indigenous female quartet, Cihuatl
Tonali, performed in the Mezzanine Plaza from 1 pm to 1:30 pm
in honor of Cesar Chavez day.
Having performed on campuses such as UCLA, University
of Washington, UC Santa Cruz
and Arizona, CSUSM finally
got its chance to experience the
hype.
A small crowd gathered on the
stairs to watch the four young
L.A. women (Valerie Hernandez, Xela Marias, Patty Rodriguez and Cessy Urbina) present
slam poetry-like musical pieces
with their own flavor. Combining instruments from different
cultures, like the African drum
known as the djimbe base, and
Mexica (ma-sheek-a) drums and
clay flutes, the women produced
a savory sound to accompany
their melodic voices. Aside from
the sweet sound the foursome
exerts, their main purpose is to
make an activist stance through
the music.
"We [as human beings] need to
stop displacing ourselves [and be
able] to communicate. Why not
bring everyone together like BSU
and MECHA and the other culture clubs out there? We should
bring together the different subcultures," Patty Rodriguez and
Valerie Hernandez said about
some of the important messages
brought up in their bilingual
pieces.
Intrigued by their appearance
in the Mezzanine Plaza, CSUSM
student Yolie Rios got her first
taste of the 'urban indigenous
group' (as they refer to themselves).
"I'm really into human equality and against racism, and I
appreciate how they're not using
cuss words to get across their
message. These women are more
than what I expected them to be,
whether we examine their performance or lyrics."
Indeed, Cihuatl Tonali tried
their best to give a memorable
performance. In between musical
pieces, Patty Rodriguez dressed
in a huipil (a traditional woman's
garment, hand embroidered, usually reserved for ceremonial use,
and easy to find anywhere in the
western hemisphere), to encourage the audience to "remember
where your fruit and veggies
came from."
Originally, the group was
scheduled to start at 12:45 pm,
but even with the late start and
a few technical difficulties, they
still recruited a lot of loyal audience members.
One interested passerby, Julie
Young, sat down and watched the
half hour event, doing her best to
understand all the lyrics as the

"[They] mostly had good messages about being who you are . ..
not conforming to what everyone
else in society thinks you should.
Everyone should have his or her
own culture and be able to get
along with those outside of his or
her culture."
The only complaint Julie had
with the group was the term
'white devil' which were in the
lyrics to one of their songs and
something Julie picked up on. She
said that they seemed to be "holding some of the past against us . ..
although we're not our ancestors,
there might still be hate." Many
in the crowd maintained a sense
of curiosity, and after the performance was over some audience
members approached the group
for questions or pictures.
A particularly unique element
to this group is its capricious for-

account that many incidents of rape are

Tonali performs there may not be

to change, even as their message
remains political.
Currently working on a CD to
further exemplify their talents,
students who missed the event
can check them out at www.
myspace.com/cihuatltonali.
According to the Women's Resource
Center, "many victims feel embarrassed
and/or guilty about what happened to
them and may be reluctant to tell anyone
because they fear they will be blamed for
the rape or may not even be believed."
One such story was shared by student
Sarah Leonard, reading about her personal experience of violence and rape.
"You never do get over it," said Leonard.
Unfortunately, Leonard's story isn't
uncommon. The event demonstration also
offered resources and information available to the public.

Bast went on to say that, "the

entrances, where they used to
be, has become a fire waiting to
happen. Smokers don't want to

an option of where to dispose of
them.
Ms. Frasca mentioned that she
will bring up the possibility of
putting ashtrays near entrances
for the sole purpose of disposal,
as well as other possible changes,
when the program is reviewed on
June 30. She did explain, however,
that the problem with putting ashtrays in front of
entrances is that
it "gives people

Frasca said she

When asked if smokers should

"if anything, the campus is heading towards the ambitions of student groups like Cough, who were
very instrumental in getting the

As a public University with
an obligation to facilitate respect
between both smokers and nonsmokers, the question remains a

On Campus: Professional writer lecture
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
San Diego Union Tribune theater critic Anne Marie Welsh
lectured to students and staff on
the variety of careers connecting
writing with the arts. Topics covered included critiquing performances, conducting interviews
and the challenges all writers
must face. This event, part of the
CSUSM Arts & Lectures series,
took place on March 20, at 10 am,
in Arts 111.
"Part of my job is to encourage
theaters to stretch themselves,"
said Ms. Welsh.
While over the years she has met
and befriended many people in the
arts, she still strives to write accurate and honest critiques. During
the lecture, she shared some of
her recent articles. Though writing mostly about performances
in the San Diego area, her work
has also led her to cover events in
New York and San Francisco. Her
coverage ranges from ballet and
musical theater to art exhibits and
operas, spotlighting both profes-
sional and renowned artists along
with high school and college level
work.
Not only did Ms. Welsh explain
the content of each article, she
also gave back stories on just what
went into assembling them.
Apparently, writing quality
pieces on artistic performances
requires a lot of prep work by the
writer.
This involves meeting the various people involved in the production. Depending on the event she
covers, she could be getting the
bulk of her information from the
performers or the stage crew.
During the lecture, Ms. Welsh
informed audience members
of some interesting journalistic
jargon. Sunday "thumbsuckers"
refer to articles that are entertaining, engaging and fun to read. A
piece that is "art heavy" means
most of the page(s) arefilledwith
pictures; It is an article that relies
heavily on visual elements. A
"decoding" article seeks to inform
readers as to why something is a
work of art. It is not a review.
Rather, it uses a critic's opinion
to get readers to think about art in
different ways.
"[I want to] let the audience
know how important art positively impacts the community,"
says Ms. Welsh about her journalistic responsibility.
Hearing her describe in great
detail all the efforts devoted to
each story, Ms. Welsh's passion for
her work was obvious. According
to the Women's International Center's website, Ms. Welsh is trained
in ballet and modern dance, and
holds a PhD in English literature
from the University of Rochester.
She has taught college courses on
poetry, writing and drama and is
a visiting lecturer at UCSD. Ms.
Welsh has also written for daily
newspapers in Washington D.C.,
Denver and Baltimore.
Besides earning various awards,
she is also an advocate for women
in theater and liberal support for
the arts.
In regards to this event's significance for CSUSM students,
Professor Merryl Goldberg offers
some insight. As Chair of the Arts
and Lectures Committee, Professor Goldberg was interested in
having Ms. Welsh lecture partly
because of a recent feature she
wrote on arts education.
"I think events like this one
open up a whole new world of
possibilities to students - both in
revealing potential careers - and
also in giving tremendous insight
into arts," said Professor Goldberg. "A wonderful aspect of Arts
and Lectures is that it truly brings
in folks that otherwise would not
be on campus. This is a true benefit for our students."
Del Dios
Bar &
Grill
After discussing student feedback with Professor Goldberg, it
was evident that the event was a
success. She expressed that her
students (who attended the event)
"really enjoyed her [Ms. Welsh]"
and were impressed by the
amount of background research
put into her reviews, such as the
complete reading of plays before
the performance. Many students,
according to Professor Goldberg,
were surprised that "this could be
a real job."

stirred the air with a sobering

Some made a point of speaking

expressing gladness that, unlike
previous events in decades past
and years recent, the police presence was open and seemed more
interested in keeping the peace

Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Trying to
pick a World
Series champion in March
is like trying
to pick out
what isn't a
lie from a
Presidential candidate in April.
Really, you have to narrow
everything down to what's most
likely to occur.
Last year at this time I predicted a San Diego Padres versus
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
World Series. That clearly didn't
happen in the playoffs since the
Padres were pecked into submission by the Cardinals and the
Angels stunk it up against the
White Sox.
There are always several teams
that you can count out before
opening day. The Detroit Tigers,
Kansas City Royals, Baltimore
Orioles, Tampa Bay Devil Rays,
Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati
Reds, Colorado Rockies and
Florida Marlins basically just
show up to 162 games for the
food spread after the game.
Then there are teams that compete the first half of the season
and then fall off the table after
the all-star break. The Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners,
Texas Rangers, Philadelphia

that really suit Petco Park.
In the American League East,
the Boston Red Sox and New
York Yankees have new competition in the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Red Sox have lost the heart
of their team in Johnny Damon
and have way too much turmoil
with guys like David Wells and
Manny Ramirez. The Yankees
seem to always win this division
and it won't be any different this
season. I do like the Blue Jays
to come out with the wild card
because they have improved significantly with guys like Troy
Glaus, A.J. Burnett, Lyle Overbay, Bengie Molina and B.J.
Ryan.
In the A.L. Central, the White
Sox are the reigning World
Champions and are a favorite
to repeat, but I really like the
Cleveland Indians. The Indians almost overtook the White
Sox last season but fell apart
in the final three games. The
White Sox added a huge bat
in Jim Thome, but he hasn't
been healthy recently and they
traded reliable Aaron Rowand
for him. It is very difficult to
play two consecutive seasons
without having injuries affect
your team's season. The White
Sox were injury f ree last season
which means they can't avoid
it forever. The Indians have
talented young players like
Travis Hafner, Grady Sizemore,
Jhonny Peralta, Andy Marte
and Victor Martinez who will
help the Indians shock the Sox.
In the A.L. West, the Oakland
Athletics are the trendy pick
because they are always competitors, but their only big additions are two volatile players in
Frank Thomas and Milton Bradley. I like the Angels because
they are basically the same team
that I chose last season to make
the World Series, and mind you
they were the only team to beat
the White Sox in the playoffs
last season.
Eight teams now remain
including the Braves, Cardinals, Cubs, and Padres in the
N.L. and the Yankees, Blue Jays,
Indians, and Angels in the A.L.
The Padres will be the weakest
Division winner and the Braves
hardly ever do anything in the
playoffs so I foresee Cardinals
versus Cubs in the National
League Championship. The
Blue Jays and Indians are good
teams but they don't mesh as
well as the Yankees and Angels
who practically have no holes in
their teams.
I am really stepping out on
a limb this season, saying that
the Cubs and Angels will make
the World Series. The past two
champions were teams that
lifted "curses" so why can't the
Cubs be the third straight team
to do so?

prowl across America
Harvesting
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
Living in the shadows of popular Southern California attractions such as Six Flags Magic
Mountain, Disney^
land, Sea^^tittflMH
world and the world famous
San Diego Zoo, "America's first
theme park," Knott's Berry Farm,
is often overlooked or thought to
be a kiddie spot less amusing than
its competitors.
This couldn't be further from
the truth.
Having been to Magic Mountain and Disneyland a million
times, and still wanting to escape
from San Diego, Knott's Berry
Farm seemed the perfect alternative. Knott's is situated in downtown Buena Park, amid other
attractions such as the Waxland
Museum and Medieval Times.
San Diego county residents only
have to travel about an hour and
a half (less for North County
residents) to enjoy what Knott's
has to offer. In fact, the drive is
half the fun. Cruising Interstate
five, you can point out landmarks
such as the Del Mar fairgrounds
in Del Mar, Camp Pendleton
Marine Base, which stretches
from Oceanside to San Clemente,
and "The Dolly Partons," aka the
San Onofre Nuclear Plant, which
gets its nickname because the
two buildings resemble two large
breasts. There are also beaches
along the way that provide nice
rest spots.
Those who are still young
at heart may choose to play A
the road trip game, "Slug
Bug," old school though f m
it may be, one would be r ^ m
surprised at how many L f l
bugs (VW Beetles) are L ^K
still on the road today. V V
The drive time is also provides an opportunity to con- M
verse with fellow passengers,
•
the fruit of fun at
because in the age of cell phones
and Myspace, people hardly ever
get to enjoy a genuine conversation in person. No matter what
you choose to do to pass the drive
time, be sure to drive
c arefully,
because we noticed many a highway patrol car out on the prowl.
In no time, your party will be
driving down Beach Blvd, passing Po' Folks restaurant, Waxland and arriving at Knott's Berry
Farm.
Parking at Knott's is reasonable, costing only $9 for an all
day pass. There is ample parking,
and even the further spots are not
too far from the entrance.
The admission lines are not
bad either, but if you're eligible for discounted tickets, such
as military or union members,
then it is suggested to purchase
tickets before your arrival at the
park. Adult tickets at the door are
$39.95 and kids (11 and under)
are $14.95, whereas military and
their families can get tickets for
$26, and union members (such
as UCFW) can purchase tickets
for about $24. Nonetheless, once
you pass through the turnstiles
you're thrust into an environment
right out of the old west (old California), when Native Americans,
Aztecs and Mexicans ran California.
The park is sectioned off into

Speaking of overlooking,

rarely over fifteen minutes, there's time for them all.
The best thing about Knott's is
that it offers far more than rides,
There is the California Marketplace, where there is a fudge shop
(yummy), Berry Market, which
features Knott's world famous
preserves, Carnation Ice cream
parlor, and Snoopy headquarters,
which sells all thé merchandise
a Snoopy lover could want. In
Ghost Town, there's a knife and
gun shop (how cool), Ghost Town
jail, where you can talk to Sad Eye
Joe and hear his tales of woe, and
many restaurants such as Ghost
Town Grub, Fireman's BBQ and
Chow House. Guests can catch
a show at Charles M. Schultz
theatre or watch Native Americ a n an
d Aztec performers prese n t s o n s a nc
£
* dances from their
rich culture. When the Native
Americans perform you can hear
them all over the park, but if you
happen to be in line at the Silver
Bullet you can see the show.
If you're a drinker, alcoholic
you're a hot dog lover you'll have
to try the "Viva Revolucion" dog
($4.95) at The Fiesta Dog stand.
The "viva revolucion" dog comes
piled with cheese, jaiapenos,
onions, tomatoes and chili. It's
delicious. If that sounds too spicy,
it can be ordered "weak" and the
jaiapenos and onions will be withheld. Also, don't leave without
trying a hot, delicious funnel cake
($4.95/plain). Although dining
at the park is very reasonable, if
you still choose to eat out of the
park, the delicious Fat Burger is
right next door and Po' Folks restaurant is less than two minutes
away. Po' Folks offers whole and
hearty meals for Po' folks (like us
college students).
Next time you're seeking
thrills and entertainment, consider Knott's. It's budget friendly
(unlike its competitors) and just as
f un as any other amusement park,
just don't expect to be there all
night, it closes at 6:00pm during
this season.
�Isis: An interview with an up and coming metal band
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON
Pride Staff Writer
ISIS came about in the late 90s
as the only other band besides
the often inconceivable Neurosis and still untouchable Tool to
make 'Metal' that was not simply
beautiful, but often entirely hypnotic. As much as songs averaging on the plus side of seven minutes get relegated to 'background
music,' there's many a moment
when I find myself staring slack
jawed at the stereo with a drawnout 'wooow.' Their latest major
release, "Panopticon" includes
collaboration with Tool's Justin
Chancellor and all the sublime
coordination fans have come
to expect from these five amazing artisans. This CD is highly
recommended as a first as their
vocal delivery takes some getting
used to for those used to seeking
singing. Don't let this intimidate,
though. Even with little openness
to distorted guitars, ISIS belongs
in the collection of those with a
conscious relationship to their
music.
The Pride recently had the fortune to secure an email exchange
with electrician and guitarist BC
Meyer, who will be appearing
with the rest of ISIS on April 6,
at the Casbah.
See casbahmusic.com and
sgnl05.eom/# for details.
Pride: Is time, that is, longer
song-time a necessity to the ISIS
sound? Does the band generally
prefer 'longer' songs or does the
music they find demand it?
Meyer: Yeah, I think a little of
all that, but honestly that is just
the way the songs have always
ended up... I suppose it makes
sense when you look at our influences, though - Pink Floyd, Neurosis, Swans, all these bands were
more interested in making pieces
of music rather than a 3 minute
song, not really considering the
length at all. I also hope we as a
band have improved in making
the longer parts more interesting,
not just repeating the same bit
over and over.
P: Do fans like to enjoy ISIS
intimately, head to the PA, or do
many prefer to sit back and let the
performance spread over them?
M: We like to think the audience is intimately involved; however, sometimes they are probably just bored. We do have a lot of
people come up after shows and
tell us how they could kind of get
a little lost in the music, maybe
stirred up some kind of emotion,
which means quite a bit to us.. .we
are playing a couple of DIY type
shows next week, I don't even
think there will be a PA there...
P: Is it often you hear fans
saying that they like you, but not
most other 'heavy' bands. Has
playing with certain types of
bands yielded better crowd reactions?
M: Yeah, obviously we've had
a better reception with the Melvins or Mogwai than Cradle of
Filth or Napalm Death ... at this
point the fan base of the majority of the bands we play with are
not so narrow-minded and accept
most interesting music for at least
being interesting.
P: With a few albums under
their belt now, is the band differently self-conscious or confident
in its decisions?
members work a lot from private
time with their own instruments?
What of guest appearances?
M: Both. A lot of both, and a
lot ofjust 2 of us getting together,
or 4 of us... with the newest bunch
of songs the parts we would originally come up with were very
basic, very open for lots of tangents and input and output. They
have been the most fun to write
so far, can't wait to get into the
studio and record some of this
stuff.
With regard to the guest
appearancejs, Ayal and Maria
came in and recorded a bunch
of the Oceanic songs at practice
and sort of figured out different
parts where they might be appropriate for their contribution, and
with Justin he actually came in
to practice and jammed with us a
couple times then really just had
an afternoon at the studio and
came up with some great stuff.
We have yet to decide on what
will happen with the next record.
P: Is the band happy where
they are now? Do they hope to b e
in a different creative and professional place in the near future?
M: Honestly, we couldn't be
happier, we have worked really
hard over the past 7 years or
whatever, and it's nice to have it
pay off, not really financially of
course, but music-wise, we all feel
much more confident as individuals and as 5 songwriters. We've
got some big tours hopefully
coming up and a bit more money
to spend on this next record, and
none of us are starving or smoking crack down by the river so we
can't complain.
M: Decisions? Musical deci- music.

should create a list of goals, starting with long-term, midterm, and
short-term goals. Setting these
goals can help you determine
what to focus your energy on.
And hopefully, right now your
education is one of your top priorities. Goals can be as simple as
completing the reading for your
classes.
After you have identified your
goals the next step is to keep track
of them. One great way to keep
motivated is to
create checklist or agendas.
The trick is to
be very specific
with the list,
for example, if
you are dreading your final
project break

Try to refrain from getting distracted. Staying motivated is not
easy when your favorite shows
are on, or when your friends
want to come over to party. If
you establish those distractions
as rewards, and stick with your
plan, then you will have avoided
procrastination.
Motivation is a choice and a
behavior. You have to train yourself to be motivated. Some people
are more gifted with self-motivation. With practice everyone
is capable of being motivated.
If you take action and make the
choice to organize, prioritize, act
and reward yourself, then you
, will accomplish what needs to be
done. It's lame, but I gotta say it:
you need to have a 'can-do attitude'. Just keep telling your self,
"I can do it there is only six week
left" and, after a while, self-motivation will be second nature.

parts. Your list could be; pick
topic, research, brainstorm, rough
draft, edit draft, second draft,
edit second draft, and final draft.
Also make everything you need
to do a goal. The more things you
write down, the more things you
can see check off and see accomplished. This way after you have
worked for three hours, you won't
feel like you haven't done anything. This process of checking
off may be kind of neurotic, but it
will give you a since of satisfaction, and you will see how much
you do accomplish.
It is important to reward your
self whenever you reach a goal
or accomplish a task. Identify
a reward system in writing at
the same time you identify your
goals. Stay strong and don't
change the rules.
Talking with motivated people
may help you to gain inspiration.

Dave Chappelle's throwing a 'Block Party < > < > < > < > <
QQQQ
BY JENNIFER KELLOGG
Pride Staff Writer
We have seen a long absence
from Dave Chappelle after the
success of his first two seasons,
"Chappelle's Show", on Comedy
Central.
Chappelle's career
began in 1993 with a small part
in the movie Robin Hood: Men in
Tights, as the character Ahchoo.
Since 1993, Chappelle has
appeared in over 20 movies,
standup comedy specials such as
HBO's "Killing Them Softly" or
"Dave Chappelle: For What It's
Worth", a hit TV series "Chappelle's Show", and in recent news
has co-produced the musical documentary Dave Chappelle's Block
Party. The film was directed by
Michel Gondry and produced by
Dave Chappelle.
Block Party is not a movie but
more of Chappelle's dream concert starring many musical artists
such as Kanye West, Mos Def,
Common, Erykah Badu, Dead
Prez, The Fugees, and many
more. This film is overlooked by
many; in fact, its release date was
March 3 ,2006, and still has gone
unseen by many people.
As I sat in the theater, I noticed
a great deal of people walking out
of the movie. Some of the audience did not expect this movie
was a musical performance with
bits here and there of sketch
comedy. I am curious as to what
people expected from a movie
titled "Block Party". The film

being played on the radio because
of the controversy their political
messages mean.
Many people became con-
fused about why Dave Chappelle
left the United States to go live
in Africa. This is subject that is
not quite clear to this day. My
perspective is that it became too
much too fast for Dave. He lost
control of what he really wanted
to put out into the media. So the
Block Party was in a way for Dave
to get control back in his life.
The movie production began
in 2004; he got what he wanted
to do, which was collaborating
and producing his dream concert. Then afterwards is when
he decided to take his "Spiritual
Retreat" to Africa.
When watching this film, it
reminded me of watching the
behind the scenes bonus features
on the TV. series "Chappelle's
Show". In almost every episode,
Dave hosts a musical presentation towards the end of the comedic sketches featuring, for example, John Mayer, Wyclef Jon, Mos
Def, and Big Boi. They are just
hanging out, making good music
that you do not hear everyday in
a low key tone.
This film is a great representation of Dave Chappelle trying
to clear his name to what he is
really about. I suggest people go
see this film and keep an open
mind. The music is great, and
there are funny comical sketches
intertwined throughout the whole
piece.
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
BY MATTHEW SCHRAMM
Pride Staff Writer
Nothing is more annoying when talking to
people about beer, than when you come across
someone who refuses to drink a given beer
because it is too dark, or, as is often the case,
too light in color. Although it is true that dark
beers tend

and vary
more in

creativity, there
are also
Strong in hops flavor, yet not drowned in
bitterness, Sierra Nevada Pale is an easy
beer to consume whether you like dark
or light beer. Added to the hops is a nice
citrus flavor and scent that cleanly finish
this beer, leaving connoisseurs of good
beer with smiles upon their faces.

�C uddle UP w ith T eddy Geitfer
Artisit profile on on up ond conning teenoge heortthrob with soulful voice
BY RACHEL CARRIE WANN
Pride Staff Writer
You may not recognize Teddy
Geiger, or even have heard of the
kid, at least not yet. Just don't
expect that to be the case for long.
This young up-and-coming star,
who actually is only 17, is turning heads everywhere and it's not
just the long dark hair and piercing blue eyes that are getting him
attention and plenty of media
exposure nationwide. It has to
do with that voice, that soulful voice that your preconceived
notions tell you should come from
an older, and far more seasoned,
performer. It definitely is not
the voice you'dO expected from
someone who can't even vote yet,
and definitely not the voice you'd
expect to come from a teenage
heartthrob that can credit some
of his early exposure to the MTV
reality show, "Miss Seventeen".
So what is all the hype really
about here? Teddy Geiger should
just be disregarded, branded with
the label of another pre-packaged, overly produced and styl-

ized fixture for the teen scene,
right? Well, not exactly. While
it is obvious those young fans will
be part of Geiger's audience, his
young John Mayer-esque appeal
both aesthetically and musically
is sure to gain him a great deal of
fans in that coveted 18-24 demographic.
The multi-talented Geiger,
(born with the given name of John
Theodore Geiger II) has much
more to offer than those baby
blues with his mix of rock and
pop. Aside from his brief stunt
on the recently cancelled CBS
sitcom "Love Monkey" (which
has since been picked up by VH1)
Geiger can also give himself
props for playing the uncommon
role of a self-taught musician and
composer, since grade school.
It was in those early days, and
perhaps some musical genes, that
helped to foster a budding young
star. Geiger clearly pulls influences from the likes of Dashboard
Confessional, Something Corporate, Jason Mraz, Ben Folds, and
of course, Mr. John Mayer himself, to craft a sound that is all his
own, age-appropriate lyrically,
but with a voice and melodies of
an older soul.
The upstate New York native
marked March 21st with the
release his debut disc, appropriately titled "Underage Thinking"
with the record proudly toting
his certified gold single, "For
You I Will (Confidence)." If
you haven't caught wind of the
tune yet, don't sweat it. You can
see Geiger, beginning April 11th
in "Love Monkey" on VH1 and
sample his debut on iTunes or in
stores everywhere. And don't be
surprised when in the near future
you find yourself inadvertently
singing along to your new favorite teen heartthrob.
"\V for Wceirìicdlcette" V a l i n e s V e r a c i t y
BY ZACHARY J. SIMON

s
There's been a reoccurring hesitation
when they ask me about this one, often
broken first by a played-up sigh, then
another pause for laughter, followed by
'it was pretty good . .. for a blockbuster'
often further followed by 'it's obvious
why Alan Moore didn't want his name on
it.'
Hollywood seems to have at last discovered, as anyone past or near to puberty in
the early 90s should have already, that at
least 20% of comics contain some of the
most inspired, moving, and utterly brilliant human works. Compare this with
an average of 10% for music, and 5% for
television, and it boggles the mind why
the medium often seems to play second
banana to mere games.
One author in particular, Alan Moore,
is both revered and reviled for insisting
that comics tackle not only the profound
bridge between language and image, but
all the big questions people associate more
with spiritual aristocrats than social outcasts. His work of historical fiction "From
Hell," though also missing his name, was
slightly more than watchable. "League
of Extraordinary Gentleman," however,
wasted every single penny of the millions
it took.
Needless to say, even before reading the
source material (now readily available in
graphic novel form), I was nervous. After
reading up to the last chapter, I was petrified, though still running to the theater,
rather like a child eager to see something
that will give him night-terrors.
How on earth are they going to do this?
And not just any faceless indentured
script-doctor, the Wachowski brothers?
You remember the matrix trilogy, right?
(What's that? You also enjoyed the sequals
ten times more with the dialog muted?)
And even though, compared to novels,
using comics as scripts naturally simplifies visual adaptation, V for Vendetta,
as Alan Moore admits, was a product of
its time. The 80s, specifically. Margaret
Thatcher, precisely.
Furthermore, (and forgive me Mr.
Moore, for I adore you) the original dialogue would have been hammy even for
the pre-television days, even for mysterious superhuman vigilantes, even for
comics. It's common for future turmoil
stories to be set in the near future, but even
if he didn't expect to see, by 1998, a Britain taken by fascism after narrowly surviving a global holocaust, he also clearly
didn't expect the internet, or CD players
for that matter.
Don't take this as an exception to the
'buy everything with Alan Moore's name
on it' rule, only as a small license to use
the original as a primary source rather

than an absolute guide.
The Wachowski brothers are not yet
entirely forgiven for the failed potential
of the Matrix trilogy, but if Mr. Moore
were about to pull the switch on the both
of them, I'd insist he reconsider ... once,
maybe twice.
There are no truly bad actors, no overblown surfer dudes, no latest sex-its better
suited to talking about their pets and fake
IDs than the spiritual implications of fascism. There are a number of bad dialogue
decisions, but no truly 'bad dialogue'. The
future landscape is believable, but not
nearly as bleakly moving as an R rating
would have allowed, and a truer adaptation would have demanded. Indeed, it
begs the question why an early teen can't
see something with little blood, no nudity,
and few expletives. Perhaps there's a questionable role-model committee afoot.
The "V" of film is decidedly more
a sympathetic eccentric than a darkly
untouchable enigma, though a ham-sensitive or other critical sense is most likely
to notice his superhuman luck, both with
the future's security systems and the public's receptiveness to his message. This
latter point magnifies the relative lack of
character development outside V's immediate sphere, another disappointing decision on the adaptors' part. The spectacles
are impressive, but comparatively few
when placed next to the average blockbuster; a breath of fresh air for some, a
sigh for others. Those less than eager to
see another cliched pyro-masturbatory
mess smeared with one-liners have little
to fear on the whole, as the humor, like the
blood, is blunt, but human. Anyone living
outside a cave will pick up the political
themes, mercifully planted in rows rather
than poured in waves. How bold or brazen
the script is with regards to this factor will
naturally depend on who you ask. Hesitant
audiences warned away from something
'too political' need only ask 'for who' and
decide for themselves.

Social Activist speaks out about civil rights
Elections
yield low
voter
turnout
BY CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writer
BY J ENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
Students may have many opinions on how to improve their
campus, yet it would seem that
few acted on those opinions in
this year's ASI Elections. The
voter count for the 2006 Cal State
San Marcos' ASI Elections was
much lower than last year. The
polls were open online for students to vote over the course of
four days, f rom March 20-23, and
yet the number of voters totaled
to a mere 578, versus the approximate 1500 voters that participated
in the 2005 ASI Elections.
The process of voting has not
changed f rom previous years,
scheduled the week before Spring
Break, as an online process.
"I believe one of the contributing factors to the lower number
of voters this year was the lack of
a student referendum," said Heidi
Doyle, current chair of ASI Elections.
Jeremy Mills ran unopposed
and won his position of Vice
President of Legislative A ffairs
with 376 votes. He and Doyle
explain that last year there was an
Athletic Fee referendum that was
on the ballots coinciding with the
ASI Elections. The President's
office used the opportunity of
the ASI Elections and asked that
the referendum be placed on the
ballot. According to Mills and
Doyle, students who did not want
a fee increase were more compelled to go online and vote.
Another contributing factor to .
the lower number of voters may
have been the fact that there were
more candidates running and
campaigning for a position.last j
year than there was this year.
Ashley D unn ran unopposed,
returning for her second term
as the Vice President of Finance
with 367 votes. Dunn believes
the number of voters were low
because "students as a whole don't
vote." D unn recently attended
CHESS (California Higher Education Student Summit) held in
Dolores Huerta, social activist
and labor leader, addressed social
issues pertaining to immigration
and civil rights to a packed-house
on Tuesday, April 4.
Applause turned to cheers
as Huerta began her one-hour
speech. Huerta, mother of 11
children, began social activism
in the early 1960s, collaborating with key labor leader Cesar
Chavez. Huerta discussed how
past events are mirroring current
policies relating to immigration
and civil rights. Emphasizing
the need for political activism,
Huerta suggested that the immigration reform is being utilized
as a distraction from the military
occupation in Iraq.
"We need to remind Congress
that no terrorist came through
Mexico," argued Huerta. "The
only terrorists that have come
into the United States have come
in through Canada."
"The fight is not over," said
Huerta. "For the next month or
so, maybe longer, we are going
to need to be super diligent."
Huerta explained how with
foreign policies and trade agreements small farmers in Mexico
are unable to compete with the
market in the United States and
are being exploited, causing
large migration over the border.
Highlig hting recent visits to
Venezuela and Cuba, Huerta
argued that the United States
could learn a lot from these Central and South American nations
in regards to f ree education,
national healthcare system, literacy, and healthy race-relations.
"In our society, we are taught Dolores Huerta speaks to students about social activism.

served as Associate Dean of Students for

stronger bonds of communication with the
Student A ffairs office, the Student Life and
Leadership office, the Residential Advisors, and the ASI student offices. But in
just three days, Poullard will leave Cal
State San Marcos for UC Berkeley, where
he has accepted the position of Dean of
Students.
" I have watched talented people leave
our campus," said President Karen
Haynes. " I wish to t hank Jonathon for
his continual advocacy for students, his
clarity and intelligence, his honesty of
views which are always expressed and for
exhibiting the 'University F irst' vision.

Sacramento, Calif. She learned
that the age group of 18-25 is
the lowest voting range. Dunn
believes this applies to voting on
any level, whether it is voting for
school elections or voting on a
national level. An interesting fact
Dunn learned is that there are an
estimated 490,000 students in
the CSU school systems.
"We have a lot of power that we
are not aware of. If all 490,000
students got together and voted
one way on a particular issue,
imagine what that can do," said
Dunn.
" I always vote," said Logan
Goolsby, a senior Psychology
student. Goolsby was one of the
578 voters that actually took the
time t o log online to cast their
votes. " I don't think most students are interested in campus
activities because most come
to campus, go to class and then
leave. It's a question of priorities," said Goolsby.
In order to ensure a higher
voter count for next year, Heidi
Doyle is preparing to bring the
issue of lower-voter turnout to
the ASI Board and ask that the
bylaws be changed. Currently,
the bylaw states that ASI must
post an advertisement about the
ASI Elections in The Pride, along
with 3 designated locations on
campus two weeks before the
election date. Instead of advertising just two weeks before
the actual elections date, Doyle
his service to Cal State San Marcos."
During the Farewell Ceremony held
at the Clarke Field House, many administrators, s taff, and students shared their
praise, and loss, of Poullard as an influential entity on the campus.
"We have sincere appreciation for all
that [Jonathon Poullard] has done," said
Tom Bennett, on behalf of Academic
A ffairs. "[His] footprints are everywhere
on this campus, so truly, [he] is never
really leaving here."
Yet, a common theme was expressed by
many speakers during the controlled-mic
farewells. Jonathon was more than j ust
an employee of Cal State San Marcos; he
was a f riend, a colleague, and a very spirited man.
"Jonathon is an amazing person, and a
would like to have, in addition
to that, notices posted 2 weeks
before applications are even
available.
Doyle had scheduled two
speak-outs this year, versus only
one that was held last year. A fter
the first speak out this year, the
number of voters went up tremendously. "At the beginning of
the week, there was about 200
votes, after the speak-outs that
were held on Wednesday and
Thursday, the votes increased to
the 578 that we have now," said
Doyle.
Tamira Jubber, a freshmen who
ran unopposed and won the position of Director of Recruitment &
Student Mobilization, would like
to see promotion on the actual
Cal State San Marcos webpage.
"I want a huge link on the site,"
said Jubber. "Many students go
onto the school's website daily
to log into their e-mail accounts;
it would j ust make more sense
to have a link to the voting on
there." This will be the task that
Jubber will have to tackle next
year in her new position.
Mills hopes that next year's
University Hour will increase
student life and activities. University Hour is a two year pilot
program where between the
hours of noon and 1:00 p.m.
there will be no classes scheduled. This allotted time will be
reserved for scheduled activities, programs, events, and pos-
sibly more office hours with professors.
Aamara Ysrael was one of the
few candidates r unning with an
opponent; she won her position
of Vice President of Communications with 303 votes. Ysrael's
pink themed campaign was seen
all over campus. " I chose not
to make my campaigning look
political; instead, everything
was pink. Pink is my favorite
color and I wanted people to see
what I had in common with them
through my campaigning before
judging me if they were to see a
red, white and blue political flyer
or poster," explained Ysrael.
Ysrael believes that there is
always room for suggestions. She
hope that more students will be
involved and r un for positions for
the 2007 ASI Elections. "When
there are more students running,
it pressures candidates to work
harder against their opponents
and in grabbing the attentions of
students," said Ysrael.
D unn's solution to obtaining a
higher voter count next year is to
educate students on the importance of voting. "ASI Elections
is not a popularity contest. We
are all here to serve you, the
students. Our offices are open
for you; we work for y ou!" said

players. Murderball is among the
sports played in the Paralympics,
and it is played professionally in
19 different countries. Eligibility depends on a combination of
upper and lower extremity impairment; however, most participants
have some level of quadriplegia.
Utilizing a basketball court
layout, the teams pass a volleyball
among four court players attempting to advance the ball over the
marked goal-line. The sport
combines elements from various sports, primarily rugby, with
specific regulations on impairment classification. Murderball is
not discriminatory about age or
gender: men and women, as well
as teens to older adults, are eligible to play.
Turpin explained how media
often portrays quadriplegics as
fragile, or incapable of participating in such a dangerous, highenergy game.
"After I started volunteering
with wheelchair sports, I realized
exactly how far off movies usually
are," said Turpin. "Since Murderball (the independent film) came
out last year, and it only played
in independent theaters, not many
people had the opportunity to see
it. The connection was fresh in my
mind. I suggested doing a screening and hosting a panel discussion
because Murderball is so completely different from anything
else out there about Spinal Cord
Injuries (SCI). I know that quads
are far from fragile, but with the
movie, everyone else does too."
With the aid of a co-curricular
grant, the Literature and Writing
Department proudly sponsors
the screening of Murderball. The
event is f ree to the public, and
f ree food will be served.
"It's a great movie with serious
action and competitive athletes,"
said Turpin. "It's about regular

mean they don't have any intelligence."
Huerta's speech dabbled in
all prevalent social issues, challenging racism and homophobia, promoting gender equality
and economic fairness, and discussed the struggle of the new
civil rights movement.
Welcome to the new civil
rights movement," exclaimed
Huerta. "This will be a movement against racism and for economic rights. We need our money
and our tax dollars to come back
to us. Our schools are the soul of
our nation, and when you have an
education, your voice gets louder,
not softer! We do have power, but
we just need to exercise it and
learn how to use it."
In order to make changes,
Huerta believes in active democracy and encouraging civil duties
of voting, protesting, and lobbying the government.
"About 50 percent of people
are not voting. We've got to
make it a top priority to go out
and get voters to vote," said
Huerta. "Imagine if we. got the
other 50 percent out to vote, then
we could change what's happening in Washington and change
what's happening in Sacramento. But change isn't going to
happen unless we do it. We need
democracy in action."
The rain did not deter over
200 people from gathering in
Arts 240 on Tuesday to listen
to Huerta speak on behalf of
migrant workers, constitutional
rights, and social priorities. In
fact, many people were turned
away from the auditorium. But
those who were able to find a seat
were inspired by Huerta.
"I came to see her speak
because she's a highly respected
woman-activist in the Latin community," said Gaby Ruiz, senior
Communication and Spanish
student. "I also came because I
wanted to learn more information about the movement."
But the movement will not
be easy, according to Huerta.
"The movement has cost a lot of
sacrifice, but all changes come,
from the bottom. Tonight, we
are making history, and you are
making history by being here."

"Forget that. We need to do like

got that diploma, that you somehow know more than the person

their dreams a reality. Through vision,
commitment, and collaboration, lots of
change and lots of dreams can become a
reality," said President Karen Haynes.
The vision of the Women's Center was
shared by committee founders, Leah
Avalez, Cheyenne Barr, Heidi Doyle, Sara
Leonard, Lissa Lim, DiDi Lund, Sara
Mead, and Lori Walkington.
"I am proud of the complete support that
we found in creating the Women's Center,"
said Cheyenne Barr, co-founder of the
Women's Center. "We received support
from every angle possible."
The Women's Center was established to
educate, advocate, and empower women
and men by offering programming and a
safe environment, according to the center's
mission statement. The focus of the center
is to improve conversations and relationships between various gender, ethnic,
and sexual orientation groups on campus,
increase awareness on issues that primarily
affect women on campus, pursue equity for
all women through support, programming,
advocacy, and discussion, provide resources
for women's intellectual, professional, and
personal success, ajad serve as 3 ljftison f or
students to existing campus services.
"The Women's Center is for anyone and
everyone," said Barr. "We want to make sure
that people bring all of their cultures to the
table. In that, this center is not just for women.
It is for women and men, and all genders, and
all sexual orientations and all sexual identities; all people can find amazing information
here and can feel safe here."
The Women's Center has posted their new
hours of Monday 10-1; Tuesday 10-2 and 3-5;
Wednesday 10-5; Thursday 11-2 and 3-5, and
Friday 1-3.
"Just as this new campus grows with each
student that comes in and makes a difference, this center will change and mold to
whomever comes in and says something. If
someone says something is missing, we will
listen to them, and we will bring it in. So, the
students have complete power; this is a new
center, and we invite all people from all situations to come and be a part of this dream."

I nternational Fair: f ood a nd d ance u nites c ultures
T EM E
Bf D
BY P IYAMAS SABLAN
P ride S taff Writer
T here c ouldn't have b een a
b etter t ime f or t he f ourth annual
International Fair t han on the
bright b eautiful Spring day that
it did. O rganized by the University Global A ffair Committee,
CSUSM w as p rivy to a m ajor cultural awakening.
With about f ourteen d ifferent
b ooths sprawled around University Hall Plaza, students c ouldn't
help but b e in the m ix of Thursday's International Fair. According to Danielle M cMartin, the
International Student Advisor,
t en student organizations were
represented and another six
d epartment and c ampus groups
set u p tables f or representation.
Clubs, such as Persian, Japanese,
Chinese, I ndian, Priority, E cuadorian, and G erman clubs, as
well as SGI, E IE, A PSS, International P rograms, and T he Global
Connection represented t hemselves t o the students at CSUSM.
International Flags loaned f rom
the United Nations of San Diego
lined the stairs ascending f rom
the first floor of University Hall
t o the second as well as on the
stairs leading t o the Mezzanine
area. There were activities like
karaoke, trivia games and fearfactoresque eating games.
Taliah Chatterfield said of the
fair, " I really enjoyed the K araoke by t he Filipino group, it was
a lot of f un." N aturally there
w as plenty of f ree f ood, a favorite way f or many to " immerse"
themselves in culture. At least
t hree tables h ad f ood f or students. Global Connections supplied orange chicken and cold
p asta, the German Club had
Polish hot dogs, A PSS had salad
and chicken over rice, and other
b ooths h ad cultural snacks.
Large crowds of students visited each booth or stopped t o
watch the m any activities and
dances t aking place at the m akeshift wood stage, curious about
t his event that only h appens in
the Spring semester.
" This event is i mportant f or
several reasons," M cMartin said,
"it b rings the campus together t o
share t ime together and appreci-
ate where we come f rom and to
learn f rom each other about our
cultural differences. Another big
reason I t hink this Fair is successful is that our campus puts
this Fair on. I m ean, most of the
p erformers are f rom this campus
and our campus community gets
out and supports each other. We
are a small enough campus to
recognize a dancer or a singer
and we hang out and support
each other."
Indeed, there did seem to b e
an extra b uzz of excitement as
students p erformed, while their
f riends cheered t hem on f rom the
sidelines.
One woman single handedly
entertained the whole crowd with
her Irish dancing. Later she took
some audience members u p on
stage t o learn a f ew moves. A
p erformance the crowd seemed
to really enjoy was the A froCuban Salsa dancing. There were
six people involved in the dance,
coupled u p and dressed in black
and white. In contrast t o the lack
of color in the Salsa p erformance,
the Indian dancers had enough
colors t o shame a rainbow. The
eight girls wore gold veils and
dressed in vibrant colored f uchsias, blues, and multi-colored
folk dresses as they formed a
circle and spread their a rms on
the m akeshift stage.
Machelle Jordan, a student in
the Indian dance class, said, "A lot
[of the dance} is u p f or interpretation depending on where t hey're
p erforming. The music is about
worshipping god and the focus
is on the facial and hand gestures
because they tell a story."
The Ecuadorian dancers also
paid attention t o color, wearing black and brown long skirts,
white shirts and shoes and a
f uchsia flower on the right side
of their heads. Close r unners u p
in color richness were the contestants in t he origami fashion show.
The A PSS club put on the fashion
show, which consisted of students
in bright colored paper shaped to
appear as a kimono with detailed
origami on the backside.

exclaimed, " It's really cool how
diverse the cultures were represented and how many student
organizations were
involved.

�Visual Performing Arts Play the Fool
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
'Entertaining' is not typically the word of choice when it
comes to a college senior's final
project. It has been called daunting, scary, and horrific, maybe,
but not enjoyable by any means.
Yet, when you combine three
extremely talerited ' performing
artists, and an unexpected script,
it can b e j ust t hat.
"Fool for Love," written by
Sam Shepard, is the capstone
performance
for
Krystene
Zehnder, Russ Ferguson, and
Wig. Directed and produced by
Russ and Wig, this three-person
show presents the culmination of
their hard work and education at
San Marcos.
The group read through about
six plays before choosing this
particular script. When asked
why they chose this script over for Eddie." Her largely emotional

In order t o set their capstone
apart f rom any other performance, the group decided t o
include a very special technological aspect t o the show. "We
had been toying with the idea
of doing something multi-media
before even electing a play," said
the trio, who were enthusiastically supportive of their interactive choice.
When asked about their experiences in the CSUSM VPA p rogram, the P erforming A rts m ajors
looked back upon their education
with gratitude. They appreciated
the f act that the instructors at San
Marcos knew students' strengths
and know your weaknesses. They
loved the program and felt that
the intimate setting and supportive s taff set it apart f rom many
other large campuses. By watching the p erformance these f riends
brought together through the pro-
gram, one could t ruly get a sense
of the value they've placed on
their education.
W hen asked why the students
at Cal State San Marcos would
b e interested in coming to the
student-directed show, Ferguson
explained, " It's an intense play
that explores many different subjects that people are usually too
a fraid t o discuss."
Showing support t o your fellow
students, especially when it
comes t o the recognition of their
achievements here at CSUSM,
can not only boost student moral,
but also provide an otherwise
unexplored cultural experience.
The final showings of "Fool
For L ove" will b e taking place
in A rts 101 at 8pm. The cost is
only $10 for general entry, and
$5 f or students. For more information please contact Russ at

Is wealthymen.com your lucky date?
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
Ladies, have you ever
thought about finding a
mate? What qualities
must he possess? Tall,
dark and handsome,
that's always nice, but
what a boutius financial
stability?
It is widely believed
that many women
would love to have a
rich man, and in an age
of internet dating, one website
claims to have an answer for all
these supposed 'gold-diggers'. Wealthymen.com is supposed to be a site where
women can find "professional men making
$100k+ a year" and where men can "celebrate their success". The site claims
to have "profiles of real men who
have excelled greatly in their life,
but are still seeking a partner to
share their experiences with." All
women can set up aJxee-proiile, but "only a select f ew men can
[join, as each of our members are
¡ verified by a salary approval process."
To see if this was the real deal or if
they were just blowing smoke, I decided
to experiment with the site. Through this
mini-experiment, I found the site to be
making untrue claims. First off, I, a female,
signed up as a 31 year old male. The site
requested to know my salary and f rom
the drop down menu
I chose $100,000.
Contrary to the
site's claim,
the
salary
wa& not veri- .
fied. In my
profile I put
that I was a
lawyer living
in La Jolla. The
day a fter completing my profile I had
requests f rom three female screen names,
each one claiming what they could do for
me, as well as asking for a visual
image of me. I wanted to send
each of them a message reading,
"Haha fooled you! Beauty fades,
dumb is forever," but that would
have been mean, as well as ruin
the "high caliber online dating experience" that wealthymen.com is supposed to offer.
This does not prove that wealthy
r
men don't exist on the site, j ust that you
never know what you're going to get. The
experiment was not to bash wealthymen.
com, but to remind everyone that you can't
believe everything you see on the internet.
Sarakasi African acrobats thrill a full house
BY LISA LANDERS
Pride Staff Writer
Sarakasi, an authentic A frican
circus, arrived at the CSUSM
campus on Wednesday, April
5. The high energy show was
scheduled to begin in the ARTS
Building in room 111 at 6 pm,
however, there was a delay in
getting the show started, due to
the large turnout. Program Coordinator David O rtiz said that for
these types of performances they
would like to see an auditorium
that could accommodate at least
500 people. Currently, the ARTS
Building holds about 140 seats.
To accommodate the anticipated
overcrowding, additional fold out
chairs were brought in and placed
around the borders of the actual
stage. Many joked that they were
going t o become a p art of the
actual act due to being seated so
closely to t he stage. I n addition,
patrons were asked to double up
if they h ad small children who
could easily sit on a lap. Even
though the amount of people who
attended the show happened to
be larger than seats available, the
crowd w as still eager t o see t he
performance. When talking to
married couple Alan and Mar-
garet Dolit, their enthusiasm was
obvious. "We are excited to see
tonight's p erformance because
we went to last month's showing
of Middle Eastern Music and we
loved it." Asked how they found
out about tonight's performance,
they said, "We saw the write up
in North County Times and it
looked interesting." Margaret
Dolit was quick to add, "We also
liked the price." The price, in this
case, was f ree and the show was
open to anyone, even those with
no connection t o CSUSM. The
turnout reflected this, bringing
families, students, senior citizens, and everything in between.
The show featured seven men
originally f rom A frica who could
p erform acrobatics, fast pyramids, limbo, tumbling, contortion, ring jumping, double rope
skipping and chair balancing.
The hour long act was accompanied by authentic A frican beats
and whistles, yells and claps by
the men. One act involved chair
balancing and was a p articular
crowd favorite. Ever so slowly,
the p erformer called "Little
M onkey" built up anticipation by compiling eight wooden
chairs towards the ceiling while
doing handstands on top of each
chair. A s he went up, he crossed about five hours a day, and ate

�Jock Talk With Josh
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
Some things are
j ust unexplainable.
For example, why
does 50 cent still
rap about having it
rough, and why do
people t hink Dane
Cook is f unny?
There is not much I would rather
do less than discuss B arry Bonds,
but for some reason I bought the
book, "Game of Shadows" by Mark
Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams.
I also watched the premier episode
of "Bonds on B onds" on ESPN, and
attended the Giants versus Padres
game on April 5. It might be because
I like to stay informed about things
and people that I despise so I can say
why they are idiots. T hat's probably
the same reason why some of you
read this.
Imagine what its like right now
to be B arry Lamar Bonds. He goes
to work and 40,000 f ans boo him.
He goes to the grocery store and the
girl scouts selling cookies mockingly
pretend to give each other shots. He
passes by an old person's home and
the residents o ffer to sell him their
pills.
I couldn't believe the atmosphere
when I went to the Giants versus
Padres game. There was a ton of
Giants f ans in attendance and every
single one was in support of Bonds. I
don't know how you can condone his
attitude, even if he is the best player
on your team. The thing that bugs me
most about sports is that they are not
even reality anymore. Name another
profession where you are allowed to
p erform whenever you want, show
up whenever you want, criticize your
boss, yell at your co-workers without
punishment, get paid 20 million and
get cheered by your hometown.
Bonds has won seven M VP awards,
but one award he deserves is for the
person who j ust doesn't get it. This
guy makes Bill O'Reilly look like a
reasonable person. Bonds is like most
people in this world, he is a walking
contradiction. He says and does different things when it suits his particular situation at the time. He wants
the press to leave him alone, yet he is
doing his own reality show. He wants
his peers to recognize him as the best
ball player ever, yet he treats everyone around him like crap. He is the
first one in line at the bank to cash his
20 million, yet he says he isn't playing for the money. Apparently that's
not enough money to knock some
common sense or reality into him.
If you are a professional athlete,
common sense should tell you that
if you inject yourself with steroids
made for cattle, and overnight go
from looking like Urkel to the Incredible Hulk, then there might be a small
uproar among the public. Common
sense should also tell you that your
problems aren't going to go away by
continuing to be volatile with everyone around you. Apparently, when
you're on steroids your common
sense is the second thing to shrink,
right a fter your testicles.
With all that said, I could care less
if Bonds used steroids, because he
isn't hurting me by using them. Also,
cheating and performance enhancing
has always been a p art of sports. I am
not saying that I condone the use of
illegal performance enhancers. I am
j ust saying that you shouldn't condemn this generation, because cheating has always been a p art of sports.
The older generation is always telling me about how baseball players
in their generation were better than
players f rom this generation because
they didn't cheat. I always tell these
old guys that they have lost their
memory, because cheating was a p art
of the game back then, too. Ball players in the early 1900's would take
greenies for a boost right before a
game. They would also use the spitball, as well as sand paper and glue
on the ball. Performance enhancing can even be traced to 776 B.C.
according to "Game of Shadows'',
where it's stated that the Greeks ate
sheep testicles because they thought
it spiked testosterone levels. Human
Growth Hormone (HGH) and anabolic steroids are j ust a whole new
level of cheating.
Either way, I am still going to enjoy
chanting HGH! HGH! while Giants
f ans cheer MVP! MVP!

"Our routine had to be 2 minutes long, and we were
judged based on our technique, use of the stage, formations, character and overall performance," said Silva.
Seven of the nine team members participated in the
competition; however, the entire team had been working diligently for six months to perfect the routine.
"All 9 of us had put a lot of time, commitment, and
hard work into the routine which we learned in October over an intensive weekend dance camp," explained
Silva. "All of us are very excited about our results. The
goal for this team was to represent CSUSM in the best
way possible and raise school spirit on campus. We also
hope to get the word out that CSUSM has awesome club
sports and teams."
The Lady Cougars will be performing their routine at
ASFs Crash Awards NighJ on April 26, in addition to a
new performance.
"Congratulations Lady Cougars: Courtney Beck,
Rachel Gold, Bridget Henwood, Stephanie Kolb,
Amanda Kuboyama, Kristen Peterson, Aliesha Walencikowski, and Stefanie Williams," said Silva. "I am
very proud of each of you."

�Letter to the Editor: So what is marriage anyway?
Dave and Cathy had been
engaged for 3 months and they
decided it was high time to begin
the arduous task of planning their
wedding. Dave's parents initially
objected to a non-Jewish bride
for their son; however they reluctantly agreed to give their blessing provided that the couple was
given a traditional Jewish wedding. Cathy's Parents on the other
hand, had other plans! As devout
Catholics, Cathy and her parents
view marriage as one of the sacraments of the church. Not Surprisingly, they wanted the ceremony
to be performed at St. Michaels.
(The church where Cathy's parents were wed) Arguments
ensued as both sides fought over
how they wanted this wedding
to be carried out. They fought
over everything from location, to
music and food. In fact, the only
thing they agreed upon was that
the marriage was to be legalized
at the county courthouse (since it
was close to where Dave lived),
In this example, what is really
being debated is the "ceremonial"
aspect of marriage, while the
legal aspect is pretty much a nonissue. Many people defend their
view of how a wedding should be
held with such passion because
a wedding ceremony is based
on cultural and religious traditions; two very personal subjects.
Due to the cultural and religious
diversity in the United States it is
no surprise then that heated wedding debates often arise. How-
ever, the inherent legal aspects
of marriage are not typically
questioned. The average couple
who decides to "get married"
will have the ceremony however
they see fit and then register with
the state to legalize the marriage
with all benefits and responsibilities that a marriage will include.
It is possible to be legally married without a ceremony (think
Vegas). Similarly, it is possible
to haVe a million dollar wedding ceremony and not be legally
registered if the paperwork has
not yet been completed. What I
would like to impress upon the
reader is that "ceremonial marriage" and "civil marriage" are
distinct. Think of one as a "union
of the h eart" and the other as a
"union of the wallet".
What many people take for
granted is that there are a lot of
implied marriage rights; rights
that married couples have, rights
that a single person may not
have. For example: joint adoption
rights, military pay structure,
hospital visitation rights, citizenship, joint taxation, inheritance
rights, legal title to a home, privacy rights, insurance rights . . .
just to name a few. The list goes
on and on. These things all occur
"automatically" as a result of a
"civil marriage". We as a species
tend to have monogamous relationships and the civil institution
of marriage accommodates for
that behavior. Since couples who
childrearing
responsibilities,
and ownership to their home and
such, it makes perfect sense that
we create a system that streamlines the legal implications of this
"joint-lifestyle". If couples had to
register jointly for each individual right that marriage currently
gives it would be a needless
bureaucratic nightmare. So rather
than have each couple apply independently for the same 4000 or so
rights, we roll it all into a package
deal that we call "marriage".
The bureaucratic "nightmare"
described above is exactly what
gay couples have to face when
applying for "joint-lifestyle"
rights. Since legal marriage does
not currently allow gay men and
women to wed they must apply
for each right separately, and
some rights are flat out denied.
Civil unions and domestic partnerships attempt to resolve this
disparity, but these legal contracts fall painfully short of marriage. To f urther compound the
problem, each state has different domestic partnership, civil
union standards, so a Californian
domestic partnership may not be
honored equally in Texas. When
gays say they want marriage
equality, what they are saying is
that they want to have the same
4000+ rights available to them
that heterosexual couples currently have. They want to have a
federally supported legal system
that recognizes their families as
Gays can legally hold ceremonies celebrating their love and
commitment for each other, but
none of these ceremonies are recognized by the state, even if performed by a clergy member.
Religious freedom is one of the
things that make America such a
wonderful nation. It has been part
of our society since its inception.
This freedom has allowed many
people of differing faiths to live
together under one government.
This freedom is also supported
by the concept of separation of
church and state; meaning that
the government will not (and
should not) federally endorse
one religion over another. Currently there are many religions
that condemn homosexual relationships, however there are also
many that accept and support
homosexual relationships. The
government has no place denying
civil liberties and rights based on
a religious belief that homosexuality is wrong. To do so is a violation of church and state. If the
government is to give truly equal
rights to all its citizens, this must
include the rights of gays and lesbians to marry the person of their
choice, regardless of gender. This
does not mean that people must
abandon their personal religious
convictions and embrace homosexuality themselves. It simply
means that people must respect
our differences and acknowledge
that all members of society are
l ive together w ill share i ncome,
equal t o heterosexual f amilies.

Letter to the Editor:
ASI, a disservice
to this Campus
I do not appreciate reading in
the latest edition of "The Pride"
that ASI was among the participating organizations that brought
to fruition the mock wedding of
several gay couples on campus
this past Monday. While it has
always been quite apparent that
the inclinations of Associated
Students, Inc. has been rather liberal, following the yen of more
democratic among us, I think it.
safe to say that it was assumed
that, being a representative governing body designed to equip
the campus for the betterment of
"all" students, engaginjgin political events that are clearly polarizing and partisan would be at all
costs avoided.
Instead, ASI threw itself into
the arms of catastrophe Monday
by joining PAN and LGBTA in
the public dissolution of the biblical institution of marriage, which
has been and must continue to be
the sacred and completely sanctioned legal relationship between
one women and one man. While
I am sure that the majority of the
Cal State San Marcos community
was not as distraught over the
malefaction attended even by faculty members, I have talked with
several rather liberal classmates
who, although they agree with the
right of homosexuals to enter into
marriage, were rather uncomfortable with ASI's involvement with
the matter, thinking it was better
left untouched.
I am very concerned about
the message this malfeasance
sends not only to students on this
campus, but to the adjacent community as well. The implications
of a "mock" homosexual wedding are . enormous, indicating
that only the sentiments of opinions of the more liberal of our
gentle, college community will
be tolerated and supported by the
administration (which, however
fallacious it may be, is include
ASI). Granted, the majority of
college students are quite " freethinking" and "tolerant", but I
doubt a demonstration celebrating the sanctity of biblical marriage would have garnished as
much—if any—support f rom the
CSUSM administration or ASI.
It appears that we as a campus are
only concern about the offending
of minorities or liberal-minded
populations, and swift to censor
the voices of the more conservative—however scarce they may
be.
Lee Joseph Mitchell
less of gender, faith, or sexual
orientation.
Now imagine for a moment
that gay "civil marriage" were
legal. How radically transformed
would the American society truly
be? For the heterosexual population really nothing would change.
The divorce rate would still be
around 50%. The major religions
would still have the same attendance. The economy wouldn't
really be affected either. Children in existing families would
still have the same parents. Also,
all the social problems we face
will still be present. In fact, the
only really noticeable difference
would b e for the homosexual
people that have been in a relationship for years. From their
perspective a great freedom that
was previously denied would
now be legal. Finally they can go
down to the county courthouse
and register their union with
everybody else, with all the joys,
pains, and responsibilities that are
included. Finally their committed
and loving relationship would b e
equal with other marriages in our
country! I believe that both gay
and heterosexual people can live
together in a nation that recognizes both unions. For gay people
in America to truly have equal
rights to life, liberty, and happiness, we must be given federally
endorsed equal civil marriage
rights.

The Star Princess caught fire
and our cruise is
ning we were j etting o ff to spend
a romantic week on an Eastern
Caribbean cruise.
Though I had nothing to base
any expectations
on, I was
t errified
at what
I might
find. My
fears,
however,
were
cancelled! What?!
After finishing my last midterm on March 23, my husband
met me with the bad news. I was
in shock the whole way home! I
was already packed to leave that
weekend for our honeymoon in
the Caribbean, and now, because
someone didn't discard their cigarette properly, our cruise ship
and my honeymoon had been
ruined . .. or so I thought.
As it was spring break most
everything was booked, but
after staying up all night searching on the internet we finally
found a cruise line that had a
couple rooms l eft for more than
half off.
The Costa Mediterranea was
an Italian ship I had never heard
of, but being desperate to salvage our honeymoon, we sent an
e-mail to Vacationstogo.com to
book the cruise. Phew! Despite

an incredible meal, a f un activity or show, and finally, a midnight b uffet, which left everyone
feeling delightfully bloated and
exhausted.
A fter two days at sea, we
reached our first port, St.
Maarten. The hot sticky air
made us feel like were instantly
somewhere tropical, far, f ar

everything was duty f ree and

was Tortola, where we took a

was more expensive than St.

a must buy!
Our last port, the Bahamas island of Nassau, was my
favorite. There we took a f erry
to Paradise Island and spent
the day exploring the Atlantis Resort and Casino. It was
astonishing, like Las Vegas on
a little island. If you're in the
market for jewelry then this is

are a steal and it's all legit; real
jewels, gold and silver.
Before we knew it, we were

is the best value. Even though
we're back to reality now, the
memories will keep us going

Stranded in the town of Taft: My time in a boom
BY DAVID BAUER
Special to The Pride
My first experience with a resident f rom
Taft would provide an accurate prediction
for the rest of my stay there. I had been
driving up to visit my parents, who were
temporarily staying in the town of Taft,
when my car broke down. The tow truck
operator's name was "Eddie." He was a
polite and simple man, and had no bottom
teeth. On the thirty mile drive into Taft
he excitedly told me about the town's big
upcoming event: the demolition derby. He
also received three incoming calls on the
ride, one of which was a car that had driven
into a house, another to haul a stolen car
that had been torched. I wondered if it was
typical for him to receive this amount of
business on a Sunday night in a town of
6,500 residents. I also wondered why a man
whose j ob involves cars that are destroyed
would be so excited about watching cars
get destroyed. In hindsight, a fter actually
staying in Taft, I completely understand.
In 1909, the Southern Pacific company
laid out the town-site and somewhat prophetically named it "Moron." A year later
it was renamed " Taft" when the town was
incorporated. Built in an oil rich area of
California, 40 miles southwest of Bakersfield, it produced millions of barrels of oil
in its time. The Lakeview Gusher alone
produced 9,000,000 barrels of oil, the largest ever in the world. It was even the setting
of the 1986 small town football film "The
Best of Times," but the town has clearly
seen better times. A s the oil production
slowed, and the middle class relocated
as local companies were bought out, Taft
. u ^ j j g l quickly became a
boom gone bust.
The downtown
area, with two and
three story brick
façades crumbling,
is now a shell of its
former self. Years
ago the town built
a skate park and
BMX track for kids
to use for free, but
now struggles to
keep their one theater open. Its award
winning schools,
which were built
completely by donations and local taxes
in the 1930s and 40s, are also beginning
to decay badly. The paint has peeled, and
boarded windows do not look as if they
will be replaced any time soon. The town's
junior college is even less fortunate. The
same college that had been able to afford
a world class football program to win the
1984 national championship is now unable
to get enough f unds to prevent it from
literally sinking into the ground. The oil

It is
believed that the last supper would
have occurred on this day and is
observed through various acts of
cleaning, such as foot washing, a
ritual for the apostles in preparation
for their meal with Christ.
Good Friday I s a day of remembrance of Christ's crucifixion, celebrated by Christians with special church services and vigils.
Catholicism calls for observance of this day through a
reliving of the day through a reading of psalms, gospels, and hymns
about Christ's death. Eastern Catholics meet to pray three times during
the day, once during "forenoon," to
pray the Royal Hours appointed for
that day; in the afternoon, the Vespers of Holy Friday; and in the evening, the Matins of Holy Saturday.
Holy Saturday is the day before
Easter and is often referred to as
Easter Even. In the Catholic church,
holy sacraments are limited on this
day and penance is only granted to
those considered to be in dire need.
Dusk marks the beginning of Easter
and is touched off by an Easter Vigil
celebration.
In the non-religious sense, Easter
has been observed through our culture as the decorating of Easter eggs
on Saturday night and a hunt for
these same eggs on Sunday morning,

Catholic observance of Lent which
forbids the consumption of eggs, providing for an overabundance of eggs
d uring
this time. It is said that
German
Protestant_s__ wanted t o_
introduce
children to the ritual
of Easter and
adopted eggpainting as a
favored alternative to fasting. The
notion of the egglaying hare was introduced by German immigrants in
New England who told of the "osterhase." Hase is the German term
for rabbit, and it was said that only
good children received gifts from the
osterhase in their caps and bonnets
(which had been turned into "nests"
prior to Easter). It was assumed that
the osterhase had laid the eggs there
while the children were asleep or not
looking.
Regardless of faith or popular
belief* Easter should be observed
in whatever means the
observer deems necessary,
either through religious
piety or popular
tradition. Enjoy
and partake in
this day as yet

" So Notorious," is the
new unreal reality show
that makes f un of former
"Beverly Hills 90210"
star Tori Spelling's life.
According to Spelling,
in an interview done
by The Seattle Times,
VH1, but the sharp and
sometimes curt humor
seems to be a p erfect
match.
Though the idea of a
mockumentary is entertaining and shows like

mock version
of
Tori's real

Her famous
father
Aaron

though not his own. The
material for the show is
gathered f rom old, ugly
and u ntrue tabloid stories
about Tori and it's used to
make a scripted, comedic,
reality series. This is the
first show of this t ype for
talents go beyond her last

that this show will be as
successful as "Curb your
Enthusiasm," in fact,
some critics have lumped
Spelling's show with Lisa
Kudrow's brief attempt
at a mock reality show.
Never heard
of it? That's
because it only
lasted a couple

The question
remains, will
Spelling's

as that of

If you are a lover of good
beer, then you are probably

of Gordon Biersch; if not,
then you are missing out on
some of the finest beer available in California. Located

Gordon
Biersch
has risen
in leaps

during its

Among
the most
notable of
Biersch
beers is their
amber-colored Marzen.
Easily the most popular
of Gordon Biersch beers,
the story goes, according to
its website, that Marzen is
originally based off a recipe
from Bavaria. During its
first days of being brewed,
Marzen was brewed in early
spring and then stored in
cool caves so it could be
enjoyed throughout the
summer, with whatever was
left over being consumed
at once in October. While
the process is not quite the
identical for this American version of Marzen, its
and clean tasting mediumcolored beer, good in warm
weather, and especially at
night after dinner.
Gordon Biersch also put
out several lighter beers of
notable quality, such a their
pilsner, as well as a few
seasonal brews. Perhaps
chief among their limited
seasonal
beers
is
the Gordon

Winter
Bock,
which compares

Oh no. Not another rapper
turned actor. Fortunately, this
movie is not about Tip Harris (also
known as T.I. for hip-hop fans).
In Chris Robinson's directorial
debut, "ATL" brings a whole new
meaning to southern hospitality.
For anyone who hasn't been
outside of San Diego, there's a
whole new life outside the borders of California. In the same
way Eminem brought Detroit to
the big screens, Harris shows the
audience what Atlanta, Georgia is
really like.
Since Harris was born and bred
in Atlanta, it's no surprise that
he could play Rashad. However,
Harris doesn't play himself. As the
17 year old Rashad, Harris's character is far more complex than the
typical ghetto boy. He's like any
other person out there who just
wants to get out of his deadbeat
life. He doesn't dream big, but he
definitely has bigger plans for him
and his brother, Anton (played by
Evan Ross Naess).
This movie was not marketed
correctly. The trailers made
Photo courtesy of Warner Brothers
"ATL" look like another drug
dealing and gangster movie. But
that's where the prejudice has to
end. Had I not been asked to watch
this movie for a review, I would
have never given it a chance.
"ATL" is a whole new culture.
This movie has so much going
on that there is no single plot.
It's about an older brother who
looks after a younger brother. It's
about four friends in the last year
of their high school. It's about
the working class and the upper
class. It's about a boy who meets
a girl. It's about a roller skating
crew against another roller skating crew. It's about one drug deal
to another drug deal. The list can
go on. In 100 minutes, "ATL"
should have given you the feel of
Atlanta.
The direction of the movie is
a whole new story. Robinson, a
former music video director, definitely was experimenting with his
filming techniques. Many of his
shots made the movie feel like an
extended music video, and that's
a good thing. The variety of shots
and takes makes Robinson look
like a veteran behind the camera.
With exceptions to some of the
stereotypical characters in the
movie, it's about time there's a positive role model. Keith David plays
John Garnett. Garnett is a multimillionaire who didn't earn his
money through drugs and pimping. Garnett made h is money t he
right way, through hard work and
education. It's refreshing to see a
powerful minority with optimistic aspects to the character.
The movie serves as not another
highlight of the stereotype, but
rather a stepping stone for the
basis of learning about Atlanta.

2006; Cal State San Marcos held its title
as the National Grand Champion for the
second year in a row.
The Cougars took their second straight
title with an amazing 50.9 percent recycling rate, easily eclipsing last year's winning mark of 43.6 percent.
For the past ten weeks, 93 colleges and
universities from across the nation have
competed in RecycleMania, the annual
EPA sponsored recycling and waste
reduction contest. CSUSM entered this
year's contest as the defending champion, but with nearly twice the competition as in 2005. This year, the competition
nearly doubled from 47 competitors to 93

Last year, Cal State San Marcos earned
the "Recycling Rate" competition. In an
effort to emphasize the need to reduce all
waste, measuring both trash and recyclables, the RecycleMania competition introduced a new modified competition renamed
"Waste Minimization". The 2006 Competition featured three categories: Waste
Minimization, Per Capita, and an overall
combined category of Grand Champion.
The award of Grand Champion calculates the combination of recycling per
capita and waste minimization to determine the institution with the best overall
performance.

Are Course
Evaluations
worth the
effort?
BY LORA PAINTER
Pride Staff Writer
With the conclusion of each
semester, students participate
in course evaluations providing feedback to professors and
administrators on the quality
of the curriculum and teaching
effectiveness. Within a four-year
academic career at Cal State San
Marcos, each student will complete approximately 35-40 course
evaluations, evaluating both the
instructor and the course.
Many students rush through the
evaluation process, and doubt that
their opinions are ever read or considered. Through further analysis
and interviews with key faculty
members, findings negate student
suspicions that course evaluations
go overlooked.
"Course evaluations assist
instructors in monitoring their
teaching effectiveness," said Matthew Ceppi, director of Institutional Planning & Analysis.
"Research has shown that ratings
can be used to improve instruction delivery ifutilized as part of a

On Tuesday evening, CSUSM professor Dr.
Anthony Hurst introduced the group "Peace
Mark." Representative Hank Kraus had contacted Hurst about having their speaker give
a lecture on campus. Kraus briefly described
his organization as a peace organization seeking an end to the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Kraus then introduced the evening's speaker,
Allison Weir, as a "Peace Mark" affiliate with
"If Americans Knew." Although the lecture
was open to the public, it was attended by
Hurst's LTWR/COMM 316 Student Newspaper class and a handful of local "Peace Mark"
members. The only Cal State San Marcos
students in attendance were from the Student
Newspaper class.
"Despite our affiliations we should get the
facts," said Weir, as she introduced herself
as a journalist. She went on to say, "I don't
take a side; I just believe in being as accurate as possible, and reporting what the media
leaves out." She expressed that "all humans
are important, regardless of race, or religion."
After being questioned for clarification, Weir
said, "My views are not without my own
bias."
Weir began the presentation with a power
point of numerous graphs demonstrating
the drastic slant in American news coverage
of Israeli deaths, as opposed to the coverage of the deaths of Palestinians. The slides

tions in faculty personnel decisions, which is also authored by
the Faculty Affairs Committee,
said Marcia Woolf, Academic
Senate coordinator. Recently, the
evaluations have been reviewed
for modifications by the Academic Senate. The evaluation
modifications are expected to go
through another review during
the 2006/2007 school year.
According to Dr. Dreama
Moon, Communication professor and department chair, student
evaluations were born during the
1960's and '70's as a result of student resistance. Students felt that
professors had a lot of power and
control over their grades, while
the students themselves had no
say regarding the course experience. So, course evaluations were
created and became a part of professors' job performance review.
"I read mine and attended to the
comments that are helpful and
constructive,- but some [are] not,"
said Dr. Moon.
While course evaluations were
born out of Baby Boomer student
activism, today's college students
may feel less engaged about them,
according to Moon. "Students
often don't give them much attention or thought," said Dr. Moon.
"I believe in student power and
their voices should be heard, but
it's like a mechanic evaluating a
plumber."
"It's just a way of getting students' opinions without actually dealing with them," said
Austin Anderson, Communication major and graduating
senior. "I'm sure there's a law
out there that requires {course
evaluations], but I don't think
the [administrators] sit there and
actually read them."
In fact, Article 15 (15.14 15.17) of the California Faculty
Association collective bargaining
agreement outlines the policies
on course evaluations completed
by students. According to the
other resource person."
According to Ceppi, the campus
spends $36,709 each academic
year generating, conducting and
processing course evaluations.
The course evaluations utilize
an academic scantron format,
requiring students to provide
answers to specific course quality, as well as offering opportunities for free-response evaluation.
Each evaluation has specific
objectives associated with the
course. Students are not asked to
reveal any parts of their identity;
all course evaluations are confidential.
After answering general background information, the student
is asked to address questions
regarding the instructor and the
course: was the instructor well
prepared, did the course materials fit the course topic,, etc. To
answer each question, students
choose between five options
ranging from "strongly agree,"
"neutral," to "strongly disagree."
To maintain a neutral environment, course instructors are not
allowed in the room while students complete the evaluations.
The content on the evaluations
is developed by the Academic
Senate Faculty Affairs Committee and approved by the Academic Senate as a whole. The
deployment method is handled
by the Institutional Planning &
Analysis committee. Evaluations
are generated based on items that
have been used in other institutions for many years.
According to'Marie Thomas,
the Faculty Affairs Committee
chai, and Mary Elizabeth Stivers, assistant vice president for
Academic Resources, a Faculty
Affairs subcommittee works to
put the evaluation forms together
based on extensive research.

After looking at a course evaluare then sent to the corresponding instructors. Each academic ation sheet, it is evident that most
department/college at CSUSM questions limit students to five
or so answer choices, ultimately
uses the evaluations differently.
"Course- evaluations are only choosing only one. On the back

Carl Hanson, member of the Green Team,
a division that operates out of Facility Services, attributes the school's success to the
Blue Team's commitment to excellence, in
addition to the large amounts of cardboard
collected during new campus construction
and renovations. "We are the cardboard
kings," said Hanson. "The Markstein Hall
opening produced a lot of cardboard, which
we were able to capture and recycle."
RecycleMania is a ten week friendly competition created to increase awareness on the
need to reduce all waste including trash and
recyclables. The goal is to acknowledge the
institution that was able to "collect the largest amount of recyclables, the least amount
of trash and have the highest recycling rate,"
according to the rules at recyclemaniacs.
org.
The official "Thank You Day Event" and
presentation of the new trophy is scheduled
for the month of September to applaud and
recognize the campus' hard work and continual commitment.
"We would like to thank those who contributed to this wonderful victory by Reducing, Reusing and R ecycling... and a special
thanks to the people who made that extra
effort in their own areas to help capture and
claim all of those recyclables," said the Cal
State San Marcos Blue Team.
"I expect the competition to get bigger and
bigger with every year," said Hanson. As
this event grows in popularity, Cal State San
Marcos will have to do even better to defend
its title. "There is always room for improvement," said Hanson. "Ultimately, our dream
is to produce zero waste! We need to improve
campus communication and student involvement to create a culture that when you step
on campus, you just know to recycle."

stations at a rate of 22:1 and
8:1 for adults, implying that
a vast number of Palestinian
deaths are not covered.
Weir's presentation then
went into a series of graphic
photos of numerous Palestinian men and women killed
by Israeli soldiers during the
"recent conflict." The slides
provided when and where
on their bodies the Palestinians were shot, but no further
information was offered.
Later in the evening, when
Weir was questioned as to
the circumstances of these
deaths, she still gave no
explanation as to the circumstances. The photos went on
to show a number of children injured and killed by

was offered by Weir was
that a few of the children
were throwing rocks. When
again pressed by questioning as to any
provocation of these deaths or perhaps
what it was the boys were throwing rocks
at, Weir again implied no provocation or
reason for the actions of the Israeli's military members.
Weir then transitioned into her brief
history of the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip and the conflict surrounding the
area. Her history excluded biblical history of the region; instead, her account of
the region began with the relinquishing
of control of the region by England to the
United Nations. The United Nations then
decided, after World War II, to give what
is today Israel to the Jewish people.
According to Weir, the current tensions
and violence in the region resulted from
the "unfair" division of the land in 1948,
granting 55 percent of the region to the
Jewish people and 45 percent to the indigenous Arab people.
Her historical account continued into
what she said the Israelis refer to as, "the
war of independence"; historically, this
war is referred to as the Six Day War.
Weir's account of the Six Day War
amounted to what she called the Israeli's
'Pearl Harbor-like' attack on the United
States in 1967, when the Israeli "brutally
attacked the USS Liberty for relentless
hours killing 34 American servicemen
and injuring 172 others." Weir said, it was
during this attack when Israel took Gaza
and the West Bank and initiated the current conflict.
Weir then proceeded to show slides
and describe her 2001 trip to the region,
Photo courtesy of Alison Weir from "If Americans Knew.Org"
where she toured the area as a freelance
reporter. Her slide show featured many
photographs of her trip to the West Bank.
Once the locals discovered Weir was
a journalist, she said the townspeople
"flocked" to her, wanting to show her
the damage to their homes from Israeli
bullets and bombs. The homes, depicted
by the pictures Weir took, showed shells
of what were once homes and apartment
buildings, as well as leveled fields and
farm land, with border walls in the background.^
When questioned as to the circumstances surrounding the pictures she
displayed, Weir denied any wrong doing
by the Palestinians to provoke these
actions by the Israelis. Weir then went
on to describe a common scenario where
Israelis drive their tanks and their fully
outfitted soldiers anywhere to assault
the Palestinian people and their homes,
"intentionally creating poverty" and
"intentionally executing children."
Weir points out that the United States is
currently giving "$10 million per day in
aid to Israel." On the contrary, her website suggests that $15,139,178 per day is
given in aid. Weir said that, "we (Americans) helped create this conflict through
our aid," contributing to the violence.
Weir was asked what circumstances
drove the Israelis to undertake these
actions. Weir insisted that after conversing with and among the Palestinians, she
did not see, and was not ever aware of,
any provocation on behalf of the Palestinians.
When asked about her views on the Pal-
estinian group, Hamas, Weir responded
saying that Hamas was primarily a
"social service group," working within
the communities.
Weir said "Hamas is seen as a reform
party." She claimed that the creation
of Hamas was the result of the people
"being killed and starved under the Fatah
government and the corruption of Arafat
and his call for an equal secretarial democratic state." Weir claimed "that Hamas
was responsible for holding a recent truce
for a year."
When asked about the means by which
Hamas wages war, Weir immediately
started to justify suicide bombings by
explaining that, "without planes, attack
choppers or tanks, [suicide bombing] is
the only means of delivering a bomb that
the Hamas has." Responding to the question about the locations for where Hamas
delivers their attacks, Weir said "Soldiers
eat in restaurants and market places,"
stating that it's the military that Hamas
is attacking in these public places, not
the Israelis citizens. Weir began to tell of
her time spent in Israel and related it to
why Hamas would attack public buses.
"When I would take the public bus in
Israel, I would get on to see two or three
soldiers already on board; by the time we
got to the end of the line, several others
had gotten onboard."
The above viewpoints are intended
to represent only the view points of the
speaker, and her affiliate organizations.

her perspective on the Israeli/Palestinian
conflict, visit IfAmericansKnew.org.

Sometimes the seemingly more
low profile tables turned out to
have the most behind them. Cory
Stepanek, of Genworth Financial,
in a small corner, was eager to
enter into a dialog without trying
to screen this reporter out in the
first minute. His company was
part of the financial service division of GE for 10 years. It spun off
only 2 years, ago but is already

is people who are passionate
about believing in what long term

little impact on what we're looking for; we love diversity because
we're looking to reach everyone,
because everyone deals with
aging."
The conversation continued,
and Mr. Stepanek discussed
how good it was for businesses
to work from the standpoint of
a more needs-based than cutthroat, monopolizing market.
"As an industry we need to work
together . .. not fight each other,
because that doesn't help anybody; it hurts consumers' confidence, it hurts the industry, and
is not solving the need." He then
pointed to the auto industry, and
how car lots never used to be
'auto malls' when they saw each
other as competition, but now see
the advantages of 'one stop shopping.'
As many other prospective
employees would be asked that
day, he wanted to know not only
what skills would be brought to
the table, but 'why do you want
to work in this field?'

Weekly Wacky Website: Deathclock.com

I can't believe I 'm going to die

This was my reaction when I
visited the website deathclock.
com which revealed I was going
to die Tuesday, Dec. 25, 2063.
To not be intrigued by a title that
reads, "Death Clock: the internet's friendly reminder that time

to have no pulse. The website
asks for seven things: the day,
month, and year of birth, sex,
mode (which is basically asking
if you're pessimistic), and BMI
(if you don't know yours it helps
you calculate it). With these
seven things Death Clock calculates how much longer you have

sounds, this site has been visited

NORTH COUNTY'S LARGEST PREMIER TANNING SUPER SALONS
�Fall in love with the Big Apple
BY DAVID GATLEY
Pride Staff Writer
Over Spring Break I
was fortunate enough
to spend five days in
Manhattan in what
turned out to be, by far,
the best time of my life.
With a handful of my
best friends, a bunch of
wiom live in New York,
I explored and absorbed
New York beyond my
wildest imaginations.
With incredible pub and
bar scenes, incomparably delicious Jewish
delis, the world's best
pizza, buildings the size
of mountains, themed
restaurants that defy
explanation,
subway
systems that span to
eternity, and people
that are as friendly as
family, the city of New
York has never been more inviting.
Staying for free in the Upper West Side
definitely didn't hurt matters much. In fact,
my buddy's shoebox
of an apartment had
a balcony with
access to the roof, which was definitely the
sweetest part of my entire trip. While nursing hangovers and waiting for nightfall, I
was free to roam the roof tops like Spiderman, watching over my temporary home
from far above the streets. The Upper
West Side is geographically located, well
above the majority of the city and on the
western side of the island. However, once

direction is lost. Having a native to guide
you on your way is definitely a must.
Every night in New York was unbelievable. I found myself mesmerized by the
amount of young college students every
where I went. Unlike San Diego's sparse
hot spots like PB and Downtown, practically every street in Manhattan is
going crazy every night of the week all
nightlong. I'm not sure
because almost every residence is smaller
than a closet, driving people outside for
their own sanity, or maybe it's because
there are more people in this city than most
states' entire population, but it seems like
the entire community goes out every night
to meet one another in some crazy ongoing
party where everyone is invited.
When you're not in the mood for a night
of drunken debauchery (which was a rare

filled with incredible places to go, see,
and experience. Opting
to spend a little more
money for dinner, we
decided to go to a themed
restaurant called Ninja.
All we had heard of the
place was something
along the lines of real
ninjas serving sushi. I
mean, how can you
go wrong, ninjas,
sushi, sharp knives,
and sake; rnost definitely ingredients
for a good time.
Man, we underestimated the overall
experience that restaurant would offer.
The restaurant itself
could serve as an
entire article, but
I'll suffice to say
that secret passageways, crazy ninja
attacks, secret Japanese villages, and
ninja magic await
to please all of your
senses in a most
unforgettable evening.
The craziest part of New
York has to be that no
matter how much time you spend
there, no matter how long you live there,
you will never discover all that the city has
to offer, restaurants like Ninja are tucked
away everywhere in the city.
And in case the city is too

Park, quite possibly our
nation's greatest city
planned park, allows a
temporary escape for the

grassy hills, open air
concert venues, serene
lakes and massive oak
trees replace the hustle
and bustle of the city that
never sleeps. Maybe it's
the stark contrast of the
skyscraper skyline juxtaposed with the natural
landscape of the forest,
but the park serves to
balance out a city of
excess.
I could go on forever

enamored with the city
I am, but even then I

�What does the Day of Silence mean to me?
Growing up in Virginia Beach, VA,
I know first hand what silence meant
to me. I'm from the birthplace of the
Christian Coalition and in my backyard
were Pat Robertson and the 700 Club!
I was teased, picked on, bullied, beat
up, harassed, and made to feel insignificant. Religious groups and individuals
always used their teachings to justify
their intolerance of me. Growing up
Catholic, this caused me a great deal of
pain and caused me to leave our family's church. I was no longer welcome.
How can this happen? If I tried to ask
questions or explain my perspective, it
was assumed I must have a personal
agenda or was trying to "recruit" new
members.
I was quieted!
I was relegated to the fringes. If I do
not occupy your space, you do not have
to listen to me.
I was silenced!
In honor of those who have been
silenced, some of us will take an entire
day to show our support by remaining silent ourselves. Critics say that
this isn't educational and it serves no
purpose. However, I think it is educational. I have faith that this act of
silence can and will jumpstart conversation. "Faith is the substance of things
hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen." Even though we cannot see it,
I believe there is a desire to find that
mutual respect. We will onlyfindit by
talking - and listening - to each other.
What is the Day of Silence®?
Now in its tenth year, the Day of
Silence, a project of GLSEN® or the
Gay, Lesbian & Straight Educa-
tion Network in collaboration with
the United States Student Association
(USSA), is a student-led day of action
where those who support making
anti-LGBT bullying and harassment
unacceptable in schools participate in
events to recognize and protest the discrimination and harassment—in effect,
the silencing—experienced by lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)
students and their allies.
The Day of Silence® is an annual
opportunity for students to tell their
truths about anti-LGBT bullying, violence and harassment. A GLSEN®
commissioned survey, From Teasing to Torment: School Climate in
America conducted by Harris Interactive, found that sexual orientation and
gender expression are among the top
three reasons teens report that students
are harassed at their schools. GLSEN's
2003 National School Climate Survey
found that 4 out of 5 LGBT students
report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30%
report missing at least a day of school
in the past month out of fear for their
personal safety.
The LGBTA will participate in the
10th Annual Day of Silence event,
Wednesday April 26th. Come join us
- in silence - to show your support for
those who have been silenced against
their will. We will meet at 12:00 noon
in front of the Kellogg Library. If you
would like to participate in this event
feel free to stop by and receive a
"Silence Card" to show your support.

The reason may be that "real
men" are socialized to define
themselves by what they are
not (women or homosexuals).
By distancing themselves from
anything considered female

it alerts others that one is not

a "real man". Today on campus
a man was carrying a pitchfork. Pitchforks are infinitely
more dangerous than skirts,
yet it hardly raised an eyebrow.
What is it about a skirt that provokes such a reaction? If you're
wondering why I would come
to school dressed as I did, it
was an exercise in violating
gender norms. Gender norms or
"gender scripts" are ideas associated with being either female
or male. They are per formative behaviors. By per formative, I mean they are a social

know how women and men are
supposed to behave. We all
recognize gender stereotypes.
For example, if I say "nurse"
what gender image comes to
mind? If I say "President", what
gender image comes to mind?
Judith Butler, who is considered to be the creator of modern
'queer theory' and an expert
on gender, argues that nothing
about one's gender isfixed.If
this is true, then our notions of
what is female and male are not
innate. Considering that Western notions of gender are not
universal, Butler's point seems
a valid one. Margaret Mead,
author of Sex and Temperament
in Three Primitive Societies,
studies three separate cultures
and suggests that which we call
feminine and masculine are not
linked to biological sex, but
rather to social conditioning. In
Western society the first question we tend to ask of a newborn
babe is, "Is it a girl or a boy?".
Based on the child's biological
sex, it will be assigned a socially
constructed gender. The child's
gender will then determine
where the child works, how
much the child earns, and how
the child is viewed and treated
by society. Gender seems to be
odd criteria to base all of this
on especially if gender is not an
innate characteristic. If we can
accept that gender stereotypes
are socially constructed and not
universal or innate, then it is
possible to change our notions
of female and male. It is possible to do away with the binary
that woman and men are opposites. I recommend we challenge the notion that women
like pink, are submissive and
demure /and men like blue, are
aggressive and authoritative.
I recommend this because my
experience of wearing a dress
to school made me think about
how a woman might feel when
she goes for a job interview
for a position of authority mat
has traditionally been viewed
a male position. I do not think
anyone would yell remarks at
her backside, but I think she
may be concerned that people
will shake their heads and say,
no that doesn'tfitin our narrow
view of female / male. We could
learn from cultures that do not
subscribe to Western notions
of female/male. Blurring the
gender lines would result in
more women in leadership positions and more men being able
to express emotion and vulnerability. I think I'm not alone in
my thinking, a woman dressed
in a smart looking business
suit gave me —in my dress—
- a knowing smile. Maybe she
understood that breaking down
gender stereotypes is empowering to everyone. Maybe she
was even a little bit flattered,
after all mimicry is the most
sincere form offlattery.-Terrance Jaffer

receiver class. He kind of reminds me of
Steve Smith from the Carolina Panthers.
Moss is small, but has explosive speed. He
could, however, also be severely undersized and be a bust in the NFL.
If the Chargers somehow found a way to
move up in the draft, look for them to take
offensive tackle Winston
Justice from USC.
They brought Justice in to talk
with him, but
he is expected
to be a top 15
pick after impressive draft workouts.
The Chargers would
go this route, because they
need to protect their young
quarterback, Phillip Rivers. The quarterback will definitely go through some
growing pains, and several offensive linemen always seem to go down, so having a
young guy like Justice would only help.
What could also affect their draft outlook
is that the Chargers are supposedly looking'
to trade linebacker Donnie Edwards, for a
draft pick, most likely. If Edwards goes,
then the Chargers have a linebacker spot to
fill and could possibly have another pick in
the first or second round.
After A.J. Hawk, Ernie Sims from
Florida State is the next rated linebacker.
I don't like him, however, because he is
under sized.
Chad Greenway from Iowa is rated next,
but he really isn't that strong, even though
he does have nice size. I would love to
see Bobby Carpenter from Ohio State get
picked by the Chargers. He is underrated
because his college teammate, Hawk, got
a lot of the attention in school. Carpenter
reminds me of Shawne Merriman from
last season, I was very high on Merriman
last season because he could play defensive
end and linebacker in college and was also
overlooked. Carpenter fits that exact mold
and could be a steal in the late first round if
the Chargers could pick up another pick.
Whatever the Chargers do, I just hope
they don't draft another Ryan Leaf.

�The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating and Sex
BY MICHELLE HEROLD
Pride Staff Writer
Have you been feeling unlucky lately?
Could you use some help? Perhaps The
Worst-Case Survival Handbook: Dating
And Sex by Piven, Borgenicht, and Worick
is for you. Have you ever wondered how to
tell if your date is an axe murderer? A con
artist? Or even (gasp) married? This is the
book for you! In it you will find definitive
hints and helps to determine these things,
and so much more! In the first section,
called Defensive Dating, there is even a
section on how to determine the gender of
your date (in case it is in question).
Full of many helpful hints, like "How To
Deal With A Date Who Moves Too Fast" (to
stop unwanted kisses, claim you have a cold,
or merely cough or sneeze in their face); to
"How To Fend Off A Pickup Artist" (Do
not accept drinks, or cause an "accident"
by inadvertently knocking glasses, empty
or full, into their lap when you turn back to
face them). But always remember to apologize (insincerely).
In "How To Escape From A Bad Date",
tips range from having a friend call you with
news of a family "emergency" to advice on
how to slip away unnoticed, complete with
quick disguise ideas you can implement
in the restroom until you can make your
escape. This includes addition or subtraction of clothing, cosmetics, accessories,
even changes in hairstyle and posture. Even
borrowing an apron from the hired help can
be useful in a truly desperate situation. This
chapter also contains instructions and techniques for breaking and escaping through
the bathroom window (Use the wastebasket, toilet plunger, or paper towel dispenser
to break the glass, and then use your jacket
or sweater to remove the shards until you
can escape).
In "How to Survive If You Have Excessive Gas", tips range from limiting the type
and amount of food you eat with gas-forming food identified, as well as specific postures you can assume to allow the gas to
escape "Kneel on the floor, bend forward,
and stretch your arms out in front of you.
Keep your buttocks high in the air..." in
the privacy of the restroom, of course.
In "How To Survive If Your Credit Card
Is Declined" in a restaurant, advice
ranges from offering collateral or
providing references, to the "Dine
and Dash". In a step by step process,
the dine and dash option is outlined:
be prepared to 1.Accept the consequences (never going back again). 2.
Tell your date the plan. 2. Plan your
route of escape. 3. Wait until the staff
is busy. 4. Pretend to pay the bill with
cash. 5. Walk confidently out the
door. 6. As soon as you are outside,
run. 7. If you are being followed, do
not go directly to your car. Of course
stiffing a restaurant is illegal. You can
arrange to pay the restaurant through
a third party, but it is probably not a
good idea to go back yourself.
In "H ow To Determine If Your
Date Is Married", (always a good
idea) the warning signs to look for
are: a pale band of flesh around the
left ring finger, not being able to get
their "home phone number, refusals
to allow any public displays of affection, tell-tale signs left in their car like
someone else's cosmetics, pacifiers,
toys, etc. Inversely, these are things to
avoid in "How To Have An Affair And Not
Get Caught", as well as how to organize a
series of convincing alibis and witnesses to
help explain your absences. Of course, if
you always pay in cash you leave no paper
trail, and keeping a change of clothes in
your car eliminates laundry mysteries
such as lipstick stains and strange cologne
smells which could give you away.
Even topics such as how to fake an
orgasm, remove difficult clothing, have
sex in small spaces (like elevators and airplanes) are addressed. Difficult issues like
how to survive waking up next to someone
who's name you don't remember and how
to properly stop a wedding are enumerated
and explained. In the back there is also a
helpful appendix of bad pick-up lines to
avoid, and even a basic draft of the "It's not
you, it's me" break-up letter, with appropriate modifiers to fit each relationship.
The Worst-Case Scenario Survival
Handbook is a series that always contains
loads of useful information from professionals in their field, and they are a lot of
fun to read.

Liz Gateley is no fake at reality
BY AMANDA KEELEY
Pride Staff Writer
Whether you love them or hate
them, reality dramas like "Power
Girls," "Laguna Beach," "8th and
Ocean" and the anticipated, "The
Hills" are some of the most popular
shows on MTV, and a woman by the
name of Liz Gateley is behind them,
All the shows have common production style; they are set in fabulous
cities, and follow equally fabulous,
young people, who are finding their
way in the world, while generating
lots of drama. Before the days of
"Laguna Beach", Gateley was the
director of development at the Lifetime Channel and worked on the
biography show "Intimate Portrait."
"Power Girls" aired in March,
2005, and focused on a New York
based public relations firm owned
by Lizzi Grubman and her four
interns. There were only six epi-
sodes, but they made quite an impact
and brought a lot of attention to the
world of public relations. Laguna
Beach aired in September of 2004
and was an instant hit. According
to the nytimes.com, when Gateley
pitched the show "Laguna Beach",
she used the 1989 movie "Heathers"
as her inspiration. When asked if it
would be possible to find an alpha
clique of friends and have them all
be interesting and beautiful; Gateley responded, "They're a dime
a dozen in Southern California;
they're everywhere," according to
the nytimes.com. The newest show
that just debuted in March 2006 follows ten professional models living
together in an apartment complex
in the heart of South Beach as they
make their way in the world of competitive modeling. "The Hills" is
set to air this year in a spin off of
"Laguna Beach," but only focuses
on one character, Lauren "LC"
Conrad, as she moves on with life
to L.A where she goes to fashion
school and interns for Teen Vogue.
The shows claim to be reality, but
the stories told are far from average.
The shows have been criticized
for being scripted, but according to
Anwsers.com, the show is filmed
with multiple cameras allowing the
show to be edited as a traditional
narrative rather than a documentary with confessionals, like seen in
the "Real World". Liz Gateley was
quoted saying on PerezHilton.com
that "there are times when something big goes down the night before
and we'll ask,'can you wait until the
cameras are there to talk about it?"'
They may be real people in somewhat real situations, but that doesn't
mean there isn't a little help from
editing to make for good T.V. Next
time you're at home watching your
favorite reality show, don't forget
that there is a story to be told and the
editors make it happen.

HAS SLEVINS' LUCK RUN OUT?
BY PIYAMAS SABLAN
Pride Staff Writer
"Lucky Number Slevin", directed
by Paul McGuigan, is a new take on
the classic theme of revenge, which has
weaved its thread through the plot lines
of numerous movies. Someone gets shot
within minutes, of the opening scene,
giving the audience a peek at the action,
guns, and gore to follow. Bruce Willis
plays an assassin named Mr. Goodkat
and is a necessary evil in the lives of the
unlawful abiding head honchos of the
criminal underworld. Willis plays his
usual unemotional tough guy character,
firing one-liners throughout the movie.
Trailers of the movie might lead some
to believe that Willis plays the leading
role in the movie, but the main character,
named Slevin, is actually played by Josh
Hartnett.
Slevin bobs and weaves through a
series of unlucky circumstances brought
about by the two main criminal bosses in
New York, who have mistaken his identity for that of his friend, Nick Fisher.
The main bosses are The Boss, played by
Morgan Freeman, and Shlomo, aka The
Rabbi, played by Befi Kingsley. Unfortunately for Slevin, the bosses ddn't believe
and don't care that he's not Nick. Slevin
is forced to repay the financial debt
Nick has incurred on the bosses' bookies' financial records. There is a surprise
plot twist towards the end of the movie,
which might be deemed predictable by
some avid moviegoers.
Slevin's self described "inability to
worry" sometimes comes across the
silver screen as arrogance. Hartnett fans
may be swayed to watch the movie for
pure visual enjoyment watching Hartnett traipse around New York in nothing but a towel for a good portion of the
first half. The dialog was a bit forced,
and it seemed like there was more than
the necessary amount of incessant banter
and cryptic dialog between characters. A
weak attempt at romance is thrust into
the storyline with the introduction of Lindsey played by Lucy
Liu. Lindsey is quirky, but her
child-like awe and acceptance
of Slevin's ties to the criminal
world is borderline irritating.
There was no chemistry
between Liu and Hartnett, so
their characters looked forced
into romance. The storyline
jumps around from the past
to the future and from here to
there, so I don't recommend
missing a scene to relieve your
bladder unless you don't mind
being discombobulated upon
your return. Overall, "Lucky
Number Slevin" is a visually
stimulating movie for those
who appreciate hitman induced
murder scenes and for those
who aren't looking for an emotional roller coaster ride.

May 1, will you boycott?
BY RACHELL REYES
Pride Staff Writer
In a national effort to oppose the proposed law HR-4437, people of every race
and ethnicity will boycott the policy on
May 1. Known as The Great American
Boycott, May 1 will also be marked as
"the day without an immigrant."
The pending legislation of HR-4437,
also known as the Border Protection,
Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration
Control Act o f2005, will seek to improve
homeland security. One of the major
points of the proposal is that an illegal
immigrant would be classified as a felon.
Photo by Christine Vaughan / The Pride The U.S. will no longer give asylum to
illegal immigrants, as well. Another
highlight of HR-4437 is the proposed
construction of a 700 mile fence along the
U.S./Mexico border.
The May 1 nationwide movement calls
for a boycott of the economy: No work,
no school, and no buy.
Some Cal State San Marcos students
are preparing to participate and show
their support in different ways on May L
Jose Cruz, an immigrant from Mexico,
received an e-mail promoting him to boycott his classes on May 1.
"I don't support the boycott of classes,
but I do support the immigrant cause,"
said Cruz, a graduating senior of Literature and Writing Studies. "Everyone who
goes to work everyday is a vital part of
the economy."
Jenny Aaron, a graduating senior in
Liberal Studies, plans to attend all of
her class that day, despite the boycott.
However, she will show her support by
boycotting businesses. "It's a doubleedged sword for undocumented workers,
because they have to earn a paycheck and
yet would want to support the immigration movement," explained Aaron.
Many students will also be showing
their support against HR-4437 by rallying on Thursday, April 27, at the Library
Plaza, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Be Black. Be Proud.
African American graduates to
receive honorary recognition
BY J ENNY NGUYEN
Pride Staff Writer
The African American Recognition
Planning Committee will be hosting its
10th Annual African American Recognition Ceremony for the black seniors that
will be graduating. The ceremony will be
held on Thursday, May 4, at 5 p.m. in the
Grand Salon of the Clarke Field House at
Cal State San Marcos.
"This is not a graduation ceremony, but
rather a recognition ceremony," saidOneita
Billings, chair of the African American
Faculty &Staff Association.
"It is about a celebration of culture.
People should view the recognition ceremony as a facet of integrated education
and celebrate it as progress in our nation
and progress for ALL OF US as people,"
said graduating senior, Antoinette Johnson.
"It's nice to be recognized, there are
programs out there and people out there
for the black students," said graduating
. senior, Katrena Robinson.
"Every ethnic group congratulates its
members, everyone deserves to be recognized," said Lorenzo Grey, fellow graduating senior.
"At CSUSM, we more often then not
have to deal with being the only black student, or one of two, in class," said Kayonni
Williams.
This year, 72 African American students will be graduating. "We are growing in numbers, this is twice the number
of last year," said Billings. As of Fall '05,
statistics show that of the 7,500 students

Wednesday, April 26, marks the tenth
annual Day of Silence, where thousands
of students nationwide will choose not to
speak for an entire day in order to make a
statement in support of the gay and lesbian
community.

the silencing experienced by lesbian, gay,
bisexual and transgender students and their
allies.
The Day of Silence started in 1996 at the
University of Virginia, with over 150 students participating in the demonstration. In
2001, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network became the official sponsor with new funding, staff and volunteers. Last year's event had more than
450,000 students participating from nearly
4,000 schools, colleges and universities.

"We as students want to voice

Herminia Ramirez, a student
activist and organizer of the rally.
"We are not planning to walk out
of classes or work obligations.
Our goal is to provoke thought
and to educate other students
about HR-4437."
Although other students like
Cruz do not condone boycotting
classes, there will be students
who will not attend their classes
to show support. Maria Sanchez,
also an immigrant f rom Mexico,
will be one of those students who
will be absent on May 1.
"I know the struggles that

that I was once in that same situation," said Sanchez, a graduating

are asked to wear all white on Wednesday, April 26, for The Day of

intimidation and fear.
Silence Cards will be given out to anyone with questions about the
event. A sample Silence Card may read something like: "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. My deliberate silence echoes
that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you

May 1 is not just an effort to
oppose HR 4437, but also a way
for immigrants to take action.
Although there are concerns
about attendance, there is little
question that May 1 will impact
the campus.
"I hope [the boycott] will
inform students about the importance of this situation," said
Ramirez. "People's f utures are at

voicing our concerns about this
legislation."
While there is a national concern for the consequences of May
1, students on the campus are
more concerned with awareness.

having fallen out of headline
news coverage, the R IAA has
issued nearly 20,000 lawsuits
since September 2003, with
many of the most recent suits
being brought against college
students.
At CSUSM, no students have
been cited by the R IAA in over
a year, and before that "just a
couple" of students had run-
ins with the RIAA, said Wayne
Veres, dean of the Instructional
and Information Technology Services. In both incidents, letters of
cease and desist were sent to the
offending students, and the issue
was quickly resolved. At colleges across the* nation, campus
computers and email accounts
have been used for the setup of
file sharing software, commonly
used for trading music online.
The R IAA uses email and IP
addresses to track down the
offenders, many of which lead
them straight to college campuses.
"Our students are adults here,
and it's not a problem," stated
Veres in regards to RIAA lawsuits and illegal music downloading. Although "personal use of
computer facilities" is restricted
under section 3.9 of the CSUSM
computer access policies, any
cursory examination of computers on campus reveal obvious and
frequent personal use, a common
example being the abundance of
sites like myspace.com listed in
the browser history.
While Veres observes that Cal
State S&n Marcos does not have
any way of actually observing
or regulating the use of campus
computers, the college does use
a complex system of anti-virus
software that cuts out most file
sharing traffic by blocking ports
often used in the transfer of such
material. This system does not
stop the use of file sharing programs, yet the virus software
installed on campus recognizes
the protocols used by such programs as potentially unsafe and
thus blocks all Internet traffic
over the ports in use.

Campus Resources: Helpful technology on Kellogg's second floor
BY SUMMER CONNERY
Pride Staff Writer
The Kellogg Library's second
floor offers more resources than
students might be aware of.
Immediately to the right of the
ground floor entrance, the Media
Library contains a wide variety of films and programming,
including 16 multimedia editing
stations, two sections of which,
according to Suzanne Rios,
Library Assistant in the Media
Library, are more "beefed up,"
than the others. These have DVD
and VHS editing capabilities,
including programs to transfer
video f rom different sized tapes
on to a VHS or DVD.
The most underutilized portions
of the Media Library, according to Rios, are the CD and DVD
recorders, along with the dual
VCRs. Students can feel free to
go into the media library to transfer music from a cassette tape to
a CD, a movie from a VHS to a
DVD, or transfer video from one
VHS to another. All of the stations
are set up with a program, created
by an alumnus of CSUSM, which
will walk users through each of
. the editing options, step by step.
There is also additional help provided by the Systems Staff from
8am to 5pm for more in-depth
assistance.
While those interested in taking
a piece of the Media Library
home with them are likely to
favor DVDs, Rios states that,
"I p ersonally d on't like h aving
DVDs here; they just don't withstand the use and abuse of people
using them." The Media Library
began its collection of DVDs
about three years ago, and since
then has had to replace many of
them due to damage. They are
now ordering most everything
in DVD form, yet, "It is going to
take a while," says Rios.
Some might havQ confused
the Media Library with the other
underutilized service directly
across from it. Chris Thaeler, a
knowledgeable student working
at the Student Technology Help
Desk, was more than willing to
clarify what sets it apart.
"Basically, the Help Desk
services all of the students on
campus whenever they have computer problems."
Recently, this included some
confusion regarding with many
students' Computer Competency Requirements (CCR).
word processing skills, spreadsheets skills, internet skills, and
ethics and viruses knowledge.
(General Knowledge is no longer
being given.) This requirement
must be fulfilled b y the end of
the student's second semester of
attendance at CSUSM. A fter the
second semester, if the CCR has
not been fulfilled, a registration
hold will be placed, preventing
any further registration activity..."
As for why some students who
met the requirement recently
M a r y A tkins, w h o o perates a s
f ound
CSUSM's Scheduling & Software Coordinator as well as its
Computer Competency Requirement Coordinator, clarified the
matter with the Pride via email.
"The purpose of the Computer
Competency Requirement is to
ensure that students are competent in the basics of computer
use early in their studies. These
four basic competencies include:
again, Ms. Atkins explains.
"A short while ago, we changed
the BANNER page to reflect the
fact that the General Knowledge
section of the CCR was no longer
being given.
"On Thursday, April 13, 2006,
the System Development people
corrected the Advising Transcript so that it also reflected this
fact. For a short while, the Advising Transcript was showing that
students still needed to take this
section when they, in fact, did
not. This discrepancy reflected
the process of getting all "scripts'

page to be reading it correctly. No
student was suddenly in a nonfulfilled state, it only appeared
that they were. The problem was

Students still uncertain about
their CCR can check their status
through 'Smart Web' and can
read a description of the program
at www.csusm.edu/iits/ccr. This
link provides a sample exam,
study materials, and the exam
schedule.
No matter a student's computer
literacy, the Help Desk makes a
variety of equipment available
for check out, including laptops,
video equipment (camcorders
and digital cameras), headphones,
and tape recorders, to name a
few. These resources are limited,
however, so they check items out
on a first come first serve basis.
Though the Help Desk is there
to aid students in need, they do
not have any office supplies for
sale. Helpful as they may be,
"we're not Office Depot," said
Thaeler. For more information,

�Campus Clubs: Getting the Word Out on VOX
BY KAYONNIWILLAMS
Pride Staff Writer
Soon to be graduate, Sandra Cannona,
was eager to join, saying, "My major is
health, it's relevant to my major and I also
wanted to offer to support."
"VOX is a national organization. Ours
is the 3rd chapter in San Diego," said cofounder Costales. "It's established and running well at SDSU and UCSD". Costales
believes he might be the first male founder
in the nation for thè VOX movement.
Staff advisor for VOX, psychology professor Sonja Ruiz PhD, is proud to advise
the organization.
"Chad and Ana Liza came and talked to
me about it. I thought it was a great idea. I
respect Ana Liza and Chad," said Dr. Ruiz,
"It's a great opportunity to educate students."
For those unfamiliar with VOX, or the
contributions of Planned Parenthood, Cos"We need all the support we can get,"
tales defines the group as a student organisaid Ana Liza P. Soriano, at the close of the

discussion," Dr. Ruiz answered, with Soriano adding, "we'll hear them out, and then
explain our standing".
Costales, however, took a more decisive
stance.
"I don' think it's fair to deny education.
We can see what's in the media, we should
be able to educate ourselves about having
safe sex . .. about the truth, medically accurate facts."
VOX will soon be recognized as a student organization and will have a recognition kick-off party, possibly during finals
week. "Alumni, faculty, staff, and students
are f ree to attend all of our meetings and
events," announced Soriano.
The first meeting was already highly
informative. Attendees learned that, among
other things Costales explained as contrary to popular belief, "abortion accounts
for only 8% of services offered by Planned
Parenthood." Soriano informed attendees
that many in the media "portray emergency
contraceptive pills (ECP) and abortion pills
as the same thing , and they're not; ECP
prevents pregnancy in an emergency, while
an abortion pill (works) within the first few
weeks of pregnancy."
There is much
more to learn from
Costales,
Soriano and VOX as a
whole, and those
interested can contact

The Dallas Mavericks will beat their worst ball in the playoffs.
BY JOSH SANDOVAL
Special to The Pride
In the second round of the West
playoffs the Spurs will beat the
Mavericks because the Spurs have
much better guard play than the
Mavericks and the Mavs won't be
able to compete with Emmanuel
Ginobli and Tony Parker.
An all L.A. match-up here is
going to be interesting. I think it
would be a sign of the Apocalypse
if the Clippers were to beat the
Lakers in the playoffs so we can't
have that happen. The Lakers will
beat the Clippers, because the
Lakers have the best player in the
NBA, Kobe.
In the Western Conference
Finals the Spurs will sweep the
Lakers. Kobe can't go 5-on-l, in
basketball that is. The Lakers did
beat the Spurs one time in the regular season but the Spurs are just
too good and will await the Eastern Conference winner.
In the Eastern first round playoffs the Detroit Pistons could send
half their team to take on the Milwaukee Bucks and still sweep
them with a double digit victory
in each game.
The NBA wants the Cleveland
Cavaliers to beat the Washington Wizards because their golden
goose for marketing, LeBron
James, is a big draw for T.V. ratings, but I think the Wizards will
take the series. The Wiz took
three-of-four in the regular season
and the trifecta of Gilbert Arenas,
Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler
is much better than any combo on
the Cavs.
I think the Chicago Bulls will
take the Miami Heat to six games
in the first round, but the Heat has
too much talent to lose in the first
round. The Bulls barely made the
playoffs and for some reason they
have many of the experts choosing them for the upset. There is no
way I am picking against Batman
(Shaq) and Robin (Wade) because
Michael Jeffrey Jordan certainly
isn't walking onto that court for
the Bulls.
The New Jersey Nets have been
en fuego lately and the Indiana
Pacers have been beat up this
whole season. The Pacers haven't
had an opportunity to get into a
flow because one key person has
always been out, whereas the Nets
have been healthy all season and it
will show in this match-up.
In the second round of the East
playoffs the Pistons will take
down the Wiz without even breaking a sweat. The Wizards couldn't
even win if they were actual wizards and used magic.
The Nets will beat the Heat,
because like I said before regarding the Pacers, the same applies to
the Heat, thus ending my prediction. The Nets attack the hoop on .
nearly every possession so look
for Shaq to be in constant foul
trouble and that will be the determining factor in the series.
The Pistons will cut the Nets
down in the East. Great defense
always beats great offense and
the Nets really don't play defense
at all whereas the Pistons do both
exceptionally well.
In the NBA Finals there will be
a rematch. I .think it will go seven
games again and the Pistons will
take game seven this time around
with Chauncey Billups winning
his second Finals MVP award.

�Response to letter to letter to the
the Editor:
Editor:
Cheyenne,
I read your letter to the
editor in "The Pride". I just
wanted to point out to you
that in your letter you wrote
that there is an, 'importance
for such an event' (the gay
wedding). Cheyenne, this is
a false statement.
ASI is promoting something that is illegal in our
country and I don't see
importance in this. Weekly
I see protests, conventions,
and parades on campus that
are promoting rights and
issues that many people on
campus are tired of. I plead
that ASI and the LBGTA
stop pushing these issues in
students lives. Forcing these
issues down our. throats is
actually impeding on our
rights. Many people do not
wish to see a transgender
fashion show or gay wedding, and i think it is wrong
to promote something that
is completely anti-America. I am not looking for a
fight and i can tell you that
i really am not a hateful
person, i am just doing my
duty to our community and
asking in a respectful way
to stop such behavior.
Hopefully we can make
some headway to more
important topics \o promote on our campus at Cal
State San Marcos University. If you need ideas, i qan
think of plenty and i would
be willing to help.
Thanks for reading,
Phil Hoffman.

THE PRIDE
Ï Î Ï K ' S 'HOT DEAD'
BY RACHEL CARIE WANN
Pride Staff Writer
She's been out of the spotlight for quite
some time, three years in fact, following
the release of her third in a string of relatively successful albums in 2003. But
where's the rebel pop princess been this
whole time? Well, she got married for one
thing, to Motocross hot shot, Carey Hart.
And she spent time putting a lot of thought
into her next projects. The effort paid off
as Pink is back. In fact, she's back in a big
way, and she's anything but dead, as her
newly released record clearly insists.
As her aggressive album cover depicts,
on "I'm Not Dead" no one is safe f rom
being called out in one way or another
through Pink's fierce lyrics.
Coming out swinging, Pink is addressing
more controversial issues than ever before
in her edgy blend of expletive-filled, rockinfused pop. Pink uses "I'm Not Dead" as
her platform to speak out against everything from bulimia to current events.
On "Stupid Girls," the album's first
single, Pink attacks the abundance of disgusting celebrity qualities that are keeping
the masses infatuated.
Along with the track comes a highly
satirical video that badly mocks the likes
of a Daisy Duke-wearing, suds-up, General Lee-washing Jessica Simpson, skinny
doggy-toting, oversized glasses wearing
Nicole Richie, and of course, the infamous
sidekick addicted poor driver, Lindsay
Lohan.
On the reminiscent "Conversations with
My 13 Year Old Self," and "Runaway,"
Pink struggles with her remaining innerteenager. She also attacks a prominent
politician and his agenda on "Dear Mr.
President."
Bringing an acoustic guitar driven sound
into the mix on "The One That Got Away,"
Pink adds some musical diversity to the
record, as she does with the R&B flavored
take on the concept of insane materialism
in the aptly named "I Got Money Now."
Pink chooses on this record to collaborate with some unexpected artists. While
she could have her pick of celebrity rappers
Photo courtesy of La Face Records
and singers across the board, Pink chooses
instead to work with the Indigo Girls and
her very own father on the hidden track, "I
Have Seen the Rain."
Whatever she chooses to sing about,
essentially doing whatever she wants, on
this new record Pink proves' that she's
alive and well.

The movie American Dreamz
had potential in taking a direct
stab at American pop culture, its
current presidential office, terrorism, and the glue binding it
all together: American Idol. The

the theater I felt more unscathed
than when I walked in two hours
earlier.
The movie careens through
several subplots,
revolving
around the show "American

of American Idol. It eventually brings all the contestants
together in a predictable ending
to the grand finale of the show.

This week, the music world
and TLC fans everywhere will
remember the life of Lisa " Left
Eye" Lopes, which was tragically cut short four years ago on
April 25, 2002. Known to most
of the world as a member of
the widely successful Hip-Hop
R&B trio, TLC, Lopes stood out
among the remaining members
as the most outspoken and controversial of the group and l eft
the world to remember both her
talent, adding flavor and originality to TLC with her raps and
spunky stage presence, and the
public drama that infiltrated her
life.
v Born in Philly on May 27,1971,
Lopes joined TLC at the age of 20
in the early nineties in Atlanta,
Georgia with Tionne "TBoz"
Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli"
Thomas. The flashy clothing
worn by the girls that featured a staple wardrobe of
baggy pants and condoms as
accessories garnered TLC
almost as much as attention
as their in-your-face songs
which quickly escalated the
singer's/rapper's career to
extreme heights as the girl
group took a stand in their
music speaking out against
prevalent issues such as
AIDS and safe-sex and
youth crime. TLC went on
to produce top-ten hit-filled
records beginning with
"Ooooooohhh... On the TLC
Tip," the infamous "CrazySexyCool" which included
such giant hits as "Creep"
and "Waterfalls" and "Fan
Mail" which featured the
radio-friendly hits, "No
Scrubs" and "Unpretty."
Aside f rom her musical
accolades, Lopes garnered
as much, if not more, press

for her baby-faced bad-girl
together
of Cowell's notoriously cold
demeanor and arrogance.
The movie takes a very uncreative and unenthused stab at the
current White House office, with
Dennis Quaid playing President
Staton. The dim, light-hearted
President, already in the midst
of a nervous breakdown, is torn
between his political guidance
and his newfound interest in
public opinion. Dafoe plays the
overbearing chief of staff and
puppeteers the Commander in
Chief via an earpiece throughout the movie, scripting every
line and sedating the President
reputation in the music world and
the tabloid headlines of her constant antics and exploits, such
as her tumultuous relationship
with her then-boyfriend, NFL
star Andre Rison, whose mansion she famously set fire to in
1994. Lopes pleaded guilty to
arson and accepted five years of
probation and a hefty, but this
wasn't the last time the ladies of
TLC found themselves in controversy. Lopes, along with her band
mates, fought publicly with their
manager, singer Pebbles, and
again with her record label Pebbetone prior to the release of her
much-anticipated
solo-record,
"Supernova." They also endured
filing for bankruptcy and dealing
with substance abuse and chronic
diseases in the eye of the ever
critical media.
The band was in the middle of
recording a new album in 2002
when tragedy struck. Sadly,
Lopes's life was cut short by her
untimely sudden death. While
vacationing in La Cieba, Honduras, Lopes was volunteering at a holistic healing center
and a children's institute, when
Lopes and her party of eight that
included her brother and sister,
were involved in a car crash that
proved to be fatal for Lopes M e r
she sustained a blow to the head.
While moderately f unny, and
while die-hard f ans of American Idol will find its take of the
shows previous contestants fairly
amusing, I felt the movie never
went where it had the potential
to go.
American Dreamz stomps on
the pedal and then lets off the
gas, toying with the notion of
taking a stance on what's currently warped with American
society. The political statement
I felt it was trying to make was
mild at best and never reached
the mark it seemed set for. This
one is best saved for a rental.
Lopes was the driver and the only
fatality out of the eight tourists.
Shortly after Lopes's death,
Lopes's band mates called in to
the MTV show TRL to express
their deepest sorrows stating that
"Lisa had one of the biggest hearts
of anybody we've ever known. She
did charity work with kids for the
lupus disease. She adopted a little
girl named Snow.... Lisa could do
anything s hrput her miiid to."
Lopes's impact on* those she
encountered and workeffWith was
evident in a statement from Antonio "L A." Reidj4 CEO and p resident of Arista^Records", the label
which T LC *called home for over
10 years.
"No words can possibly express
the sorrow and sadness I feel for
this most devastating loss", Reid
said in a statement following
Lopes's death. He went on to say
that "Lisa was not only a gifted
and talented musical inspiration,
but more importantly, she was like
a daughter to me. My thoughts
and prayers are with Lisa's family
and friends. Her legacy will be
remembered forever."
Lisa " Left Eye" Lopes was laid
to rest in Lithonia, Georgia on
May 3, 2002. She will not soon
be forgotten as her legacy continues to live on in her music.

Immigration rally
Five students help protest immigration law
VOL. XV NO. 15
BY RACHELL REYES &
CHRISTINE VAUGHAN
Pride Staff Writers
Five freshmen students coordinated a community-wide rally
on campus in protest of the antiimmigration bill HR 4437, on
Monday, May 1.
The rally, in conjunction with
the national Great American
Boycott, served to give students
the opportunity to have their
voices héard about social policies and issues regarding immigration.
"We just talked about it, and
never did anything about it,"
said Herminia Ramirez, lead
organizer, about her f rustrations with socially conscientious
courses. "Our problem was that
we needed to take action."
Ramirez, with the support
of four fellow WMST 101 students, Marisol Marquina, Kathie
Alvizo, Karen Leon, and Carmen
Contreras, organized the rally
attracting over 300 participants
and 11 guest speakers.
"I am very humbled to be a
part of this movement," said
Josh Harris, guest speaker and

Harris expressed how many
immigrants, legal and illegal,
aren't often visible in our society. "The public doesn't see
them. Today, part of getting our
word out is making them visible.
We will not be invisible anymore."
Lori Walkington, a Women's
Studies major and volunteer at
the rally, was disappointed with
the lack of diversity in student
involvement. "We are a diverse

Former Governor Gray Davis,

University Police Report: Prelude to Fall 2006
BY ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writer
With the spring semester
coming to a close, the University
Police Department is at work on
new programs for Fall 2006. Each
new project is designed to better
serve the campus community as
well as increase the department's
visibility and connections with
students and faculty.
The campus will be stocking a
new property-marking product,
Data Dots, for sale this Fall. Data
Dots is a kit containing microscopic dots that can be painted
onto mp3 players, cellular phones,
laptops, books, and other valuables
for identification purposes. In the
event that these items are stolen,
they can be tracked by University Police and San Diego County
S heriffs departments. The Data individuals in the community who

ing during the semester and will
be responsible for developing
plans for emergency responses,
dealing with potential hazards,
and disability safety for the structure. The program was inspired by
the department's need for making
themselves more visible on
campus, not only to students but
to the faculty as well. Along with
familiarizing themselves with the
building's structure, officers will
also be in charge of connecting
with faculty and staff working in
the building.
Lastly, campus police will be
developing an acquaintance rape
program to be implemented this
fall. The program is still in the
works, but Lt. Miller describes
this new service as a strategy for
rape prevention.
"The best time to set up inter-
vention to prevent acquaintance
rape is in the fall with incoming
freshmen and sophomores during
the first two weeks of the fall
semester," said Miller.
Campus police will be making
door-to-door visits at University
Village to educate tenants on the
facts of acquaintance rape. Male
tenants will receive information
about the facts of consent whereas
female tenants will receive information about how to avoid becoming victims of rape. The program
targets mainly UVA tenants, but
information on rape prevention is
available to all students.
The University Police Department hopes to extend its services
to all incoming and existing students at the start of the academic
year to reinforce its presence on
campus.

forced on them perhaps, because
it is important for everybody to
see the kind of contributions
important, respected community leaders provide to this
institution. It is a model for
others; it signifies the belief in
not only today, but in the future
of this institution."
One of the elements each
successful campus needs is
community partnership, said
Murray Galinson, chairman
of the CSU Board of Trustees.
"It takes community leaders to
embrace the campus and help it
reach its goals."
"We appreciate what a university does for its students and
surrounding
communities,"
said Donor Ken Markstein.
"Since it's becoming impossible for the state to finance
the complete needs of its universities, it's imperative for the
community to be involved not
only in moral support, but in
financial support as well."
National and local government entities presented the
Markstein Family and the
campus with honorary recognition plaques and proclamations.
Awards were presented on
behalf of Congressman Darrell
Issa, Cruz Bustamante, Senator
Bill Morrow and the California
Legislator, State Assemblyman
Mark Wyland, the San Diego
County Supervisor's Office,
the City of Oceanside, the City
of Escondido, the City of Carlsbad, the City of San Marcos,
the City of Vista, and Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"Through working together
and partnering together," said
Guseman, "We can accomplish
many great things."

Interview with Roy lee ASI President Elect
BY DAVID GATLEY
Pride Staff Writer
The Associated Students,
Inc. (ASI) President Elect Roy
Lee for 2006/2007 offered his
first open speech at The Crash
Awards Ceremony, on Wednesday, April 26.
Lee's speech came under fire
from one of the editors at the
Pride Newspaper based on the
fact she found it unprofessional.
According to the opinion article,
the writer felt that Lee was not
as polished or as professional as
the current ASI president, Marc
DeGuzman.
"There are all kinds of leadership styles, you cannot compare
me and Marc DeGuzman," said
Lee in response to the article.
"Neither one of us is better than
the other, just different."
"Leadership is a case sensitive
and is based on the individual."
Though he did read the article prior to going to print, Lee
was informed of the opinion
piece and was given a chance to
respond.
"I could have been more polished that evening, but I chose
not. I wanted to present myself
to my peers," commented Lee
about the speech overall.
Lee wanted to convey that he
respects anyone's opinion on
his leadership style and would
be willing to discuss it with
anyone.
"There is more to school than
classes, there is campus life and
it plays a significant role," said

The anti-immigration
bill is more than just the
immigrants'
problem,
but a national issue that
requires attention, said
Walkington. "What I see
happening with this bill
is the intent to enforce
slavery once again, but
upon a different people."
"I would encourage students to view the
events of May 1 in a historical context," said

ety, and the events of May
1,2006, are simply another
stage in this long historical
process."
Dr. Jorge Riquelme,
professor of Liberal Studies, was among the speakers at the rally. Riquelme
discussed how the United
States is demonstrating conflicting messages
regarding
immigration.
One such conflict centers on the Mexican flag
debate, arguing between
images of Mexican-nationalism versus patriotism to
America.
"I do not perceive the
flags from different countries as an insult to America," said Riquelme. Flags
are not symbols of allegiance, Riquelme went on
to say, they are symbols of
our heritage and culture.
The rally served as a plat-
form, and as a reminder, to
urge students to vote in the
November primary elections. In November, voters
will have the opportunity
to elect, or reelect, members of the Congress, the
political entity responsible
for passing legislative bills,
such as HR 4437.
"When you vote, that is
when you show your true
colors," said Riquelme.
"For the next election in
November, remember who
voted yay and who voted
nay for HR4437."
"I think they did a fabulous job," said Professor
Linda Pershing. "These
young women have never
done a rally before, and
I applaud their efforts to
voice their concerns about
an issue that personally
affects them."

Moukhalis s experience as an undergrad
BY KAYONNI WILLIAMS
Pride Staff Writer
"Well, I want to congratulate each and
every one on the hard work and the excellent achievement," said Salah Moukhalis,
PhD, to the class o f2006.
With graduation around the corner,
many graduates are excited, but may be
f earful of what to expect after the completion of undergrad school. Literature &
Writing Studies professor, Dr. Moukhalis, shared his experience as a graduate
as well as words of encouragement for the
class o f2006.
Moukhalis was a first generation college student, like many who will be graduating this semester. "My father never
had a chance to go to school. Living under
French colonial rule, it was very difficult
for him or his single mom to afford the
expenses of school. At a very early age he
had to support his mother. My mother had
an elementary education, but never made
it to college. So, I am first-generation college student." Dr. Moukhalis attended and
graduated from Mohammed V University
in Rabat, Morocco, with a degree in "English Language and Literature".
Having studied in Morocco, Moukhalis's experience was different than that of
an undergraduate here.
"In terms of opportunities, college education in Morocco is subsidized by the
government and is free. In some schools
it is an open admission policy. Once students graduate from high school, their
choice of college is limited to their major.
The programs are very carefully designed
to ensure a much focused education and
at the same time to introduce students to
a global perspective. I remember in high
school, for example, I had to learn about
the literature, history, geography, and
economy of so many countries, including, for example, Germany, Brazil, Japan,
and the United States," shared Moukhalis. What is common is the challenge "It
was very challenging but I enjoyed it so
much."
There was no formal commencement
ceremony, however, he did have "the
privilege of receiving an invitation to the
King's palace," but like many students
who won't attend their commencement,
he never made it.
The class of 2006 is said to have a
good job market available to them. Many
students will have to end their college
careers (or put them on hold) to enter the
job market. Numerous others will continue on to graduate school. Advice from
others may be helpful, but follow your
own instinct. Contrary to the current job
market for graduates, when Moukhalis
was graduating, "the job market was really
tight and there were few opportunities for
graduates," so, "against the advice of all
to get a job," he opted for graduate school
to further pursue his dreams of being a
college professor. Some students will not
get accepted to their first choice graduate school, but Moukhalis did, eventually
earning a masters degree, " from Keele
University in England." He later went on
to earn a Ph.D. from Sate University of
New York at Stony Brook; "I'm glad I followed my own instinct then."
Along with hard work, Moukhalis attributes his success to his father, "My dad
actually is my role model. Even though he
never had any formal education; he had to
struggle all his life to spare us that hardship. I always heeded his advice about the
importance of getting an education."
To the graduating class of 2006, fear
not, because from Moukhalis's perspective, "I would like to remind students that
graduation is not the end; it is the beginning of hopefully a life f ull of more challenges, hard work, and most importantly
more achievements."

"Was Cai State San Marcos yourfirstcollege choice
and are you proud that you go here?"
"This was actually my only choice because of my parents. They pretty

thought." V

�Immigration: The Debate Continues
BY KARIN REYES
Pride Staff Writer
With all the talking and debating going on across the country
over immigration, some history on this issue is necessary
since many of us are too young
to remember any of this legislation being passed. Not all legislation is covered in this timeline
on U.S. immigration policy:
1882—The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese
laborers from entering for 10
years.
1891—The Immigration Act of
1891 was the first comprehensive
law for national control of immigration. Established the Bureau
of Immigration within the Treasury Department, it restricted
immigration by certain classes
of persons, and directed the
deportation of anyone entering
the U.S. illegally.
1924—The Immigration Act
of 1924 was the first permanent
limitation on immigration which
established the "national origins
quota system" which set annual
immigration quotas at 2 percent of the number of persons
of a given nationality to reside
in the U.S. This act, along with
the Immigration Act of 1917,
governed American immigration policy until 1952. It established a preference quota for
those unmarried children under
21;parents; spouse of U.S. citizens; and those immigrants aged
21 and older who were skilled
in agriculture, along with their
wives and dependent children.
1940—The Alien Registration
Act required registration of all
aliens.
1942—Executive
Order
9066—Evacuation and Internment of Japanese and JapaneseAmerican citizens from the West
Coast.
1942—The United States and
Mexico signed the Mexican Farm
Labor Program Agreement,
which set up the Bracero system
that legally brought 4.6 million
Mexican migrant workers to the
U.S. over the next 24 years.
1952—The Immigration and
Nationality Act of 1952 became
the comprehensive law governing immigration and nationalization. It gave preference to skilled
workers, those who had relatives
that were U.S. citizens and legal
aliens.
1965—-The Amendment to the
Act of 1952 abolished the national
origins quota system, visas were
given on first come, first served
basis, and gave preference to relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens and those
with special skills.
1986—The
Immigration
Reform and Control Act autho-
rized temporary and then permanent resident status for aliens
residing in the U.S. illegally since
1982 and created sanctions for
employers who knowingly hire
aliens not authorized to work in
the U.S.
1990—The Immigration Act
of 1990 increased the total immigration amount. Refugees were
excluded from limitations.
1996—The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act of 1996
increased criminal penalties for
immigration-related offenses.
The majority of the legislation
during the 1900's was intended
to restrict the immigration of
those from European countries.
For example, based on nationality, the quota system would allow
more Germans to immigrate in
comparison to Italians.
Fast forward to 2006. HR4437
is a proposed as Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of
2005. Immigrants' rights groups
are calling for a nationwide boycott of school, work and to not
spend money in opposition to
this bill. Several students here at
Cal State San Marcos were asked
to share their thoughts on the
boycott and the bill and immigration all together. The answers
immerged as varied here as they
areacross the country.
For some students the issue is
that all Hispanics/Latinos need
to ban together and support the
immigrants.
Some students believe the
boycott is a complete waste of
time, while others fear a backlash against all Hispanics. There
are some students that believe
that these boycotts and protests
merely make the Hispanic and
Mexican communities look like
victims. "If an illegal wants citizenship, they should have to go
about it just like everyone else in
this world . .. stop making Mexicans look like they are victims;
the problem is with illegals,
not Mexicans," voiced student
Daniel Perez.
Student Maribel Baltadano
supports the boycott "It is the
way many civil rights movements began their fight against
racial discrimination."
Amy Chacon points out that
those protesting are not just Hispanic or Mexican. "People are
uniting all over the U.S to protest
. .. Not just Mexicanos but people
of all descent are supporting this
cause."
Others believe it is not about
race, but about breaking the law
and not following the proper
procedures. Student Jose Cruz
believes the issue is legitimate
but that "it's the wrong way to
send a message. If you want to
send a message, do exactly that,
send a message, talk, protest, be
vocal, write to newspapers, etc.
People will listen. People will
not listen if you throw a tantrum
and stay at home by skipping
school."
Some students also believe
that identifying this as primarily
"Hispanic or Chicano" related
may alienate other immigrants
and possible supporters of this
cause. "I think, we ALL want to
achieve the same goals with the
Boycott, but we have to somehow agree on how to relate the
message to all people in a way
that includes and invites support
and does not exclude or invites
identities," said Juana Molina.
Conversely, Student Anthony
Hutchinson was quoted asking
"Why stop with one day??? Why
not make this a 'permanent' boycott, vatos? Really make it worth
while, and just don't ever come
back."
No matter the perspective,
students are encouraged to educate themselves so that they may
speak intelligently on the topic,
and to take the necessary and
proactive steps to make their
position known.

During Patrick's term it
seemed as though everything he

to write a story, a struggle with
personalities that didn't want to
learn proper AP style and even a
struggle to find a new editor-inchief for next school year. Somehow he always found a way to get
things done.

College Life: What the U.S.
Marines did not prepare me for
BY KARIN REYES
Pride Staff Writer
thought k ^
in the park,
I was so very wrong.
At the time I started my college career
I had already been on active duty for 6
and a half years in the Marine Corps. So
I figured four years of college should be a
breeze. However I forgot one thing; how
to handle adjusting from the structured
and disciplined life of the military to a
very unstructured, undisciplined civilian
life.
Military life is not as bad as it sounds.
Aside from bootcamp (which the Marines
have the hardest—we are proud to brag
about that) life in the Corps, for some,
tends to settle into a routine that gets
comfortable after awhile. I was in that
comfortable routine when I applied for
and got accepted to the Marine Enlisted
Commissioning Education Program—
MECEP. This program allowed me to stay
on active duty, receive full pay and benefits and attend CSUSM as a full time student. Sounds too good to be true I know,
but that's where the greatness ends.
When I started classes here back in
2002 I was dealt a tremendous culture
shock. I joined the Marine Corps when
I was barely nineteen years old, so I did
my growing up in the military unlike my
fellow classmates. This is where I had
the most difficulty adjusting—interacting with other students who the majority
were younger than myself and tended to
be immature in my eyes. My biggest and
most difficult lesson to learn here was to
relax.
Easier said than done. Anytime a student whined or complained to the professor about anything, whether the syllabus
or an assignment, I would sit in my chair
and fume. Anytime a professor lost control of a class or seemed to have no clear
direction, or if students would have conversation and not pay attention, I would
sit there and force myself not to jump up
and start barking orders to everyone.
Now not every student or professor was
like this. In fact, I am positive that it was
only a select few that have stood out in
my memory. Of course take into consideration that I have a Type A personality
combined with being a control freak and
anal retentive, I'm sure those factored into
how I viewed events at the time, making
them totally exaggerated.
The Marines never taught me how to
deal with this. Sure we learned about
being respectful and tactful when dealing with each other—but it's easier when
everyone has the same expectations of
how things are supposed to be. I didn't
have to worry about hurting people's feelings because I would tell them to be quiet
during a class or meeting, but in college
that is just not happening.
Add to that having to drive to San Diego
at least two times a week for "military
training", along with being a parent and
a spouse and college has definitely taught
me a thing or two about multi-tasking.
Try getting up at 3:30 in the morning to
be in San Diego by 5:30 a.m. for military
classes and training, then driving the 45
minutes or so back to Oceanside to pick
up kids from school, then make dinner
for the family, help with homework, try
and squeeze in my homework, then drive
another 45 minutes to get to San Marcos
(yeah, 45 mins. From Oceanside, traffic nightmare) to sit in class from 5 p.m.
until 8:30, then try and be home by 9 p.m.
to see husband for 15 minutes, then end
up falling asleep on the couch. I don't
care how much training you have, that
schedule never gets easy. I can't wait to
get back to regular old military life!
All complaining and venting aside, I
wouldn't change my experience because
without it I wouldn't have met some
truly interesting and special people. I've
learned to relax—a little bit, and I've
learned that all of us can learn something from others even if we don't see it
at first.
Congratulations to those who are graduating in a few weeks, I'll see you at graduation. And for those that are not: ha ha
ha ha, you still have to go to school!
she seemed to be in the office no
matter what time I walked in. I
thank both of them for being
great contributors to this paper.
Last week I met the new editorin-chief, David Gatley. I look
forward to working with him
because he seems like a good
guy and he already has many
new things that he wants to do
with the paper. It also seems like
he is set for the challenges that
he will face. He is actually going
to have to find writers, rather
than having a class provide them
for him. Because of that, I am
assuming that the paper will be
small to start off, but will grow
in time.
As for the sports section, I
really see it changing. The new
Soccer, Softball and Baseball programs will make it so that actual
stories are written about campus
athletics. Nothing against golf,
cross country and track and field
because I do know many of the
athletes on the teams and they
are great people, but those aren't
spectator sports and there hasn't
been much to write about.
Along with the sports section, I hope to have the student
radio station up and running.
Dr. Anthony Hurst and I will be
doing some work this summer to
make that happen. I want to send
a special thanks to Laura Wilson,
Chris Hecklinger, Michelle Jules
and Matt Mull for working with
me on the project in Dr. Katherine Brown's COMM 355 class.
We created the CSUSM Radio
Club, which will be available for
students to join in the Fall. We
are going to start with pod-casting, and hopefully in the not too
distant future we will be doing
web-casting.
Next year should be my last
one on campus and I can't wait to
continue this column in the fall
for what will be my fifth semester involved with the paper.

�The Cup of lust for each and every one of you.
Spring is here. Our common
colds and minimal rains are neither withstanding, nor less arbitrary, than the calendar marking the seasonal transition. In
this desert, this artificial oasis,
so many of us live without an
appreciation for the true cold of
winter, thus without an appreciation for Spring's return. What
all of us do have is the oldest and
most enduring icon of the selfsame cure and virus for Spring
Fever.
We, as college students, are
surrounded by fresh and freshlyarrived beautiful women.
So, women of CSUSM, let me
speak to you:
Envy, like stratification, is
natural. Luckily, so is Beauty,
and like Nature it requires only
health: nutritious food, physical exertion and a joyful Will to
be alive. Worthy partners do not
require physical perfection any
more than those who 'have it'
know it, or keep it. Worthy partners will remember the parts of
you they most favor, not the parts
you cannot change. Worthy partners do not seek conquest over
contact, that is for ill-adolescents, and they are only their parents' concern. Be alive and open
to these worthy partners, for they
are willing and eager to remind
you how beautiful you are.
I am eager to remind you how
beautiful you are.
And I don't need a class on
'romantic' poetry, or a history of
our malignant patriarchy, to do it
. .. though the blessing of my own
partner probably wouldn't hurt.
Back to the theme, then.
There are many empty but
intoxicating fortunes to be made
in making you obsessed with
your allure and ashamed of your
desires. There are many crippled
spirits driven mad with the fear
of you, determined to enslave
your (and thus all) Lust through
confusion, through dividing
debate over an archaic procedure
that, oh so curiously, has not yet
been made obsolete.
The fortune-seekers need
you more than you need them;
beauty can be supplemented, but
never sold, thus all merchants
serve Beauty, and you owe nothing to servants who forget their
place. The crippled spirits need
many things, but deserve nothing so much as the sight of you
coming to love the sight of you
as you have made yourself.
For you ARE beautiful, and
may you by your Will stay beautiful, as you would remain beautiful, even were you to die before
knowing love. No beauty is so
rare as the beauty fully realized,
but no beauties are lost but those
that are wasted, and none that
recognize themselves are ever
wasted.
Do not give Lust, holy Desire,
the blood of your beauty, to that
alluring confidence and affluence
that you already possess. Do not
hoard swords, less they make
your cup an ever-empty sieve. Do
not lord yourself above those that
would raise you from irresistible
to invaluable.
They will love you, if you give
them the chance, because you are
beautiful, and you are beautiful
because you Are.
You are your experiences, your
inspired explorations and your
delicious tastes.
You are, each and every one
of you, beautiful, not by imitating representations, but by
existing as whole, and real, and
sovereign in yourself. You have,
and must cultivate, a Name and
a Consciousness that makes
you 'an object' only so much
as a living, bleeding deity is an
object.
Were all of civilization to rot down from its art, to
its religion, to its magic, to the
end of names and back into linguistic zero, there would still be
enough left enough for them to
lose themselves and gain eternity in the unassuming sway of
your hips, the pronouncing contortions of your mouth, the softness of your warming touch.
Your symmetries and tones are
your own, and they are beautiful because the world is beautiful
and the world is beautiful because
it varies. Do not chase bleached
hair and silicone breasts as an
ideal any more than you'd chase
a single dress or set of jewelry as
the one and only ornament you'd
need for the rest of your life. The
worthy partner will reach out
their hands to touch YOU, not
your 'things'.
Lust, as any essential element to
life, can be poorly managed, but
your beauty makes it too invaluable to be forever suppressed by
winters, storms, ill-children or
crippled spirits.
Go now, and be adored. Make
the eye contact then make it
again; the smile, the first hello
and casual question. The smallest, yet clearest invitation will
turn shy awe into confident dedication. Their unbridled Lust will
bind them to you for however so
long as you would give them here,
as you would have them there.
You are beautiful, make
the same of the Spring and its
Fevers.

CSUSM student's thoughts about 'breaking the silence'
Today April 26th at noon, six members
of the LGBTQ including myself stood and
broke the silence. Silence we had been
keeping in recognition for the voices that
are hushed each day because they were not
of the heterosexual orientation.
Voices silenced from fear. Fear of retri-
bution . . . fear for something outside of
our control. .
Being a 21 year old gay male I have
grown up to except and love myself. I
learned to love myself when our society
told me I was wrong. I learned to love god
when my church members condemned

my soul. I learned that what I am is not
a mistake and that no one should grow
thinking otherwise. People other than the
hetero-normative frame are people just
the same. Today we tried to get that back.
Some of us placed tape on our mouths
others wore white, and others simply did
not speak. Fleers were passed out up until
noon. TheseTflyers said, "Please understand my reasons for not speaking today.
I support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights. People who are silent today
believe that laws and attitudes should be
inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities. The day of
silence is to draw attention to those who

have been silenced by hatred, oppression,
and prejudice. Think about the voices you
are not hearing. What can you do to end
the silence?"
For us to live in a society that does not
allow people of the same sex to marry and
share love what morality are we spreading? That certain types of love weigh more
then others?
What does it say about our society that a
person that is not heterosexual cannot live
and die for this country? Is this a country
that is so obvious that there is no separation between church and state? For people
who do not follow the mold of heterosexuality why should they have to look around
before they know it is safe to hold each
other's hand? Why should any people be
segregated into certain parts of the city
for a somewhat sense of security. So we
protested. In protest we silenced ourselves
along with "An estimated 500,000 students
at 4,000 schools nationwide" according to
dayofsilence.org, but with one difference,
at twelve we broke our silence. We broke
the silence that our society is to use too.
Names like Mathew Shepard and Brandon
Teena maybe somewhat familiar of victims
of hate crimes but there are many others
that have gone without the representation
of the media. Others that had to be recognized like Danny Overstreet, Billy Jack
Gaither, Tyra Hunter for starters. These
people were just that people and did not
deserve the deaths they received. Today
we broke the silence and for me personally I am tired of being quite I want to be
heard and not ignored. I am gay I am real,
see me, recognize me, and know that I am
more then just my sexuality.
As we prepared are mouths were taped
and as we removed the bondage of this
society we began to speak. We began to
speak of events that outside of Mathew
Sheppard many people are unaware of.
According to gsanetwork.org "The project consists of a vow of silence for the
entire school day, or however long your
school wishes to have it, where participants pass out cards that state their reasons
for not speaking (see below). At the end of
the silence, participants can host a series
of follow up events to educate their communities on how to keep the silence from
continuing."

�letters to the Editor:
I read Phil Hoffman's
"Response to the Letter to the
Editor" in last week's Pride. Phil
had commented that forcing gay
and transgender issues is actually "impeding on our rights."
Phil, this is a false statement. He
also argued that gay and transgender events are "completely
anti-America[n]." Phil, this is
also a false statement. I don't
view ASI nor LBGTA's events
(such as the fashion show,
gay wedding, etc.) as impeding on our rights. You may not
agree with their views, Phil,
but asking them to stop such
events is impeding on students'
rights, and that would be truly
anti-American. As a student I
will also do my duty by asking
ASI, LBGTA and other student
organizations to continue such
events. We need one another to
open our minds. Isn't that what
our university should ultimately
promote?

In last week's edition of the
Pride, Karen Perez asked the
question, "Did you know that
this bill (House Resolution 4437)
makes illegal people criminals?"
I would like to respond to her
question by saying, Karen, aren't
immigration laws, laws that if
violated make a person criminal?
These protests planned for May
1st are not about immigrant's
rights as Ms. Perez's letter suggests, it is about fighting for 11
million criminals to be granted
amnesty from punishment for
breaking the law, as well as for
promoting the idea of continuing to turn a blind eye to the
crimes that occur everyday when
someone enters this country illegally. However in the end, I feel
that the United States as a whole
should walk hand in hand with
those that are wishing to immigrate into the United States and
say, "Si Se Puede legalmante."
I do not speak for all of those
in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender community. I am
one gay person with my own
story. Other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individualsLimvjsuiic^^
there are similarities among the
stories, they are different.
I have been criticized for being
discriminatory toward Christians and Catholics by a fellow
student in the campus paper. I
have not denounced Catholicism,
I am still Catholic. Nowhere
in my fetter to the editor did I
single out ALL Christians or
Catholics. I do not discriminate
against Christians or have any
ill will towards them. I simply
described my own personal
experiences as they happened to
me. •
Some might ask, ' Then why
focus so much of your conversation on Christians?"
As I described in my first
letter, my experience within the
Christian community is where I
was met with the most discrimination. I do not hate Christians
for this, nor do I believe all
Christians act the same way.
Rather, my response is to educate people that Christianity
does not mean anti-gay. Christianmeans,"Christ-like" Christ
would not spew hate or discrimi-
Phil:
I read your letter in response
to Cheyenne, regarding the
importance of a gay wedding
on campus. Yes, same-sex marriage is illegal in this country.
Do you know what else used to
be illegal, up until 1961? Interracial marriage! Check this out:
In the case ofLoving vs. Virginia
(1961), a black man and his white
wife were prosecuted for their
marriage, the judge defending
the verdict by saying, "Almighty
God created the races of White,
Black, Yellow; Malay, and Red,
and He placed them on separate continents „.And but for the
interference with His arrange-
ment there would be no cause for
such marriages. Thefact that He
separated the races shows that
he did not intendfor the races to
mix" Tell me Phil, do you agree
with this statement? If interracial marriage were illegal today,
would you oppose an "interracial wedding event"? The law is
not always right, so sometimes
you must stand up for what you
believe is r ight This is what the
LGBTA is doing. You don't have
to agree with them.
I also disagree with your statement saying that ASI and the
LBGTA are "forcing these issues
down our throats." I don't feel
forced at all. Hey, ifyou don't want
to attend a fashion show or a gay
wedding, DON'T! The LGBTA
hasn't hurt anybody, or violated
anybody's rights, as you say.
How dare you try to impede on
the right of these people to defend
themselves as human beings who
deserve human rights?
As for Anti-America, how do
you define "American"? A white
mommy and daddy, with 2.5
kids, living in the suburbs driving a Ford Explorer? Please. If
you have some important issues
to promote, I encourage you to
do so, but please don't get in
anybody else's way.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Ho
An Unruly Faction
The campus is abuzz with talk
of the 1 May boycott, and the
desired affect upon and against
the US economy. I am not only
disconcerted by the open discussion of the premeditated sabotage, I am thoroughly convinced
that such behavior does not constitute the cut or character of one
worthy to reside within the borders of this fine nation. Those
who would undermine our systems of governmental and economic policy have no place
or business amongst our elite
countrymen. Such people do
not deserve to partake with me,
a citizen of this country. Such
treacherous individuals should
not be afforded the liberties for
which so many men have died
to protect. Let those that boycott receive the full recompense
for their malefaction and disrespectful sedition perpetrating
upon the country to which they
would, not for the betterment
of their state, but for opportunities which they would exploit. It
would be better, were they to not
only abide for the duration of the
day in their homes, but that selfrepatriate (those that are illegal),
saving the national treasury
the cost. I am whole-heartedly
behind any repercussive actions
taken against those who participate, including their loss of
employment, failing of classes,
or any disciplinary action that
against them may be taken.

I wanted to write and convey
one student's perspective on the
illegal immigration issue as to
hopefully prompt further political discourse.
During the past couple of
weeks it has been remarkable
to see my peers rallying around
a political cause. The right to
peaceably assemble is one of
those rights guaranteed under
the United States Constitution (to
American citizens) that is rarely
exercised by college students, so
to hear about the event planned
for May 1st regarding a political cause is extremely encouraging. However I am torn because
while it is nice to see my peers
standing up for a political cause,
it is disheartening that it has to
be regarding the issue of illegal
immigration, because I am completely dumfounded as to how
anyone could make an intelligent
argument as to how violating the
laws of this country is a noble
cause that should be rewarded. I
understand a lot of you are sitting
there saying, well Bryan, because
illegal immigrants do the jobs
no one else will do, and to that
I disagree because illegal immigrants that accept below minimum wage positions (that may be
undesirable) are not taking a job
that someone else would not do,
they are merely undercutting the
federal and state minimum wage
laws and accepting positions for
less pay than is mandated by law
to American citizens.

�Is Roy lee the voice of the students at Cal State San Marcos?
Incoming ASI president, Roy
Lee, delivered his first "formal"
speech at the Crash Awards
Night, commemorating and recognizing student leadership and
involvement on campus, at the
honorary ceremony on Wednesday, April 26.
It is understood that when introducing a new Board of Directors for ASI, certain liberties are
taken by the student population
to scrutinize elected officials.
One such liberty involves judging the competency of its representatives and, if need be, expose
inadequacies.
Having said that, it is my desire
that you be sufficiently informed
as to how our new "president" is
representing the student voice of
Cal State San Marcos.
It is my opinion that, after
reading the following speech, I
doubt students will take much,
if any, comfort in knowing that
Roy Lee will be our representative. As president, Lee will be
expected to deliver countless
speeches to high-end executives,
politicians, and community leaders. If Wednesday night's speech
is any indicator as to his pptential as ASI President, I fear that
the student body, not to mention
Cal State San Marcos as a whole,
will be viewed as a mockery to
academia.
The following is Roy Lee's
speech in its entirety - verbatim.
It has not been taken out of con-
text in any way, nor has it been
edited for grammatical errors.
Let yourself be the judge:
"First o f f , I would like to thank
all of you who votedfor me, and
for those that have not, um, no
just joking. Now moving, so, I
came here guys to Cal State San
Marcos, you know, like all of you
guys to get my higher education. But I came here really with
a different mindset. Um, you see
when I graduated high school I
told myself 'all right buddy just
chill. You know, you don't know,
just don't get involved, k. Don't
get involved, don't don't get
yourself too crazy out there, you
know. Forget clubs, forget sports,
forget studying.' I mean, honestly, though, but. I told myself,
you know, 4just take it easy, don't
get involved, you don't know how
hard college will be compared to
high school.' I'm sure some of you
can relate that, right, ok. So, four
years pass by, five, whatever, and
now I'm your guys ASI President.
Good job... that's awesome, but
I don't regret it you guys, don't
regret it at all. Um, being in ASI
has taught me so many things
that a classroom could never
teach me. Um, which is really
good because seeing that I don't
really pay attention in class all
that often, it's a good thing that
I've been out of the classroom

at San Marcos has been my continuing drive to get my degree.

I want to commend you all for
making my experience at Cal
State Marcos a memorable one.
And I hope, that ASI will make it
just as memorable for you guys
as, you guys have done it for us.
Thanks."
While I have no personal vendetta towards Lee, I perceive his
speech as a prime example of
student apathy. Although uncontested in the elections, 388 students, out of 578, voted for Lee
to represent them as the voice of
Cal State San Marcos. Had more
students engaged in running for
the presidency, I believe a more
competent-sounding candidate
would be serving our campus.
ASI would be wise to splurge a
little of their $1.4 million dollar
budget on protecting the integrity
and image of the student voice.
I urge students to demand
higher standards of such representatives and, perhaps, advise
Lee to consider hiring a speech
consultant.

What is female beauty?
BY ANDREW RUISENOR &
ANTOINETTE JOHNSON
Pride Staff Writers
What is female beauty? By
society's standards, beauty might
be considered as a white skinned,
blonde-haired, blue eyed, smallwaisted (and by small this means
a size 2) and somewhat petty
bombshell. In reality, the woman
we just described is a waif. She's
frail, she's dependent, her body
is unrealistic and unhealthy. In
terms of her personality, she's as
exciting as a dial-tone.
With this standard set, where
do the rest of us fall? Are we
not to be considered beautiful?
What about mahogany-skinned,
dark-haired, brown-eyed, amplefigured, intellectual bombshells
from the rural south, the inner
city, the upper echelons, and the
underclass? These women do
exist, and many of them are reading this now. All women everywhere should realize how truly
beautiful they are.
The flesh of a person is sacred
and individualized through past
generations.
According to the Dove Self
Esteem Study "92 % of young
women (ages 15-17) experience
negative body image and want
to change." This obsession with
the flesh comes with a heavy toll.
The difference between healthy
and idealized is large. According
to inch-aweigh.com the average
American woman is 5'4" and 140
lbs. In tills same study the average
American model is five 5'11 and
117 lbs. There is a large discrepancy between the average, and
what the industry calls for. For
all the women who do not fit into
this category such as comedian
Mo'Nique Imes, embracing your
flesh is imperative. As Oil of Olay
advertises "Love the skin you're
in," it is beautiful.
Intellectualism is also an asset
that society tends to do away
with in its regard for females.
The thoughts of women should
no longer be threatening, but
accepted as beautiful. Women
like Maya Angelou represent a
beauty that transcends the flesh
and its fleeting youth. Through
her writing she breathes life into
the minds and spirits of women
around the world. The artist
Alecia Moore, otherwise known
as Pink, also presents positive messages through her lyrical works that are sending messages to women. These messages
reinforce the idea that you do
not have be another body, but a
mind as well, capable of making
decisions for yourself. Through
the mind is also you, the reader,
who might identify as a woman
who has made the step forward in
your education process challenging your system of beliefs and
getting the grade on your own
accord. Your mind is beautiful.
Identity is beautiful. Many
women, who fall outside of the
narrow formula for beauty, are
overcome with images of women
who appear tcrbc like themselves
living and reinforcing counterproductive models for what racial
group x's women should be like. ative. This in turn creates a battle
An unfortunate side effect of this between a woman's self and her
is that women begin to translate identity as it is assigned to her by
their self worth as not stretch- the media's outlook." All women,

Looking at this bit of promotion at the Mira Mesa Epicenter's

term 'punk' and my disappointment that the slogan didn't give
some direction to the ears of all
the eyes it caught.
Such a double negative should
have made it easier to move on,
but I ended up staring at it even
longer each time the other members of my party sent me back

"Pretty much anything can be

Jacey always ends a set with
a song that means the most lyrically and musically to her, titled
Trove Me Wrong.' "I Love that
song. I want it to be my first hit
single!" said Jacey. Her inspiration for the song was a crazy relationship she was but wasn't in.
Jacey said, "When I wrote this
song I was at my patience's end,
hoping he would prove me wrong
by all the wrong he had done to
me. Turns out I was wrong, but
got a bad ass song out of it!"
Jacey is completely dedicated
to her career of singing, songwriting, and improving her guitar
skills. She has played at venues
such as The Belly Up Tavern in
Solana Beach, Brick Brick and

tossed heart shaped bobbles into

A fter the wide-eyed revelers made their way home (most
under the general consensus that
they'd been given more blood
through the performance than
ever could be leached from an
autograph mob) and before I had
their new album in my hand, I
could tell you with absolute certainty that The Dresden Dolls
will blow your mind, kick your
ass, and break your heart with
hardly more than an electric
piano and a drum kit between
them.
The new album builds on
everything that was great about
the first, with that musical and
vocal passion carried by genuine lyrical wit through every
chide and confession. Moving
seamlessly from the unpredictable avant-garde to classic nursery rhyme and power-ballad
standards, they stir every aloof
and abandoned preconception.
On the song, "Mrs. O," whose
lyrics give us the new album's
title "Yes, Virginia," we get a
journey through the nature and
implications of truth aMHbelief
... or another clever bit of word
play. It's my personal favorite thus far, and the Dresden
Dolls have renewed my faith
in this new century's capacity.
Naturally, this sets both fellow
listeners and the band itself up
for disappointment, which is all
the more reason to give them a
chance, or even a second one (it
took a third for me) to show the
world how worthwhile a genuinely unusual thing can be, and
how much we both deserve a
f uture that doesn't leave us running in place, or improving a
memory.

2. Add heaping spoonfuls of music.
The decade was also a time for many contributions, turning points,
and unfortunate losses in the area of music. Icons such as Pearl
Jam, Metallica, Stone Temple Pilots, Green Day, and Nirvana
offered up something new for rock consumers to bang their heads
to. Meanwhile, rap superstar acts like Tupac Shakur, Naughty By
Nature, Salt N ' Pepa, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G were
theflamesof rap's persistent wildfire. Music moved in waves over
the course of the decade. It started with a grunge feel of Sound
Garden and somewhere along the way stopped off at an alternative
sound reflected through bands like Garbage and Hole. Music
3. Overdose on popular television shows
Television of the 1990s catered to audiences of all
ages in new ways than previously done. Aside from
the primetime television mixture of Seinfeld, The XFiles, Xena, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Friends,
and Ally McBeal, the airwaves also housed
programming of the more cynical nature
to satisfy the tastes of a more adult
crowd—in cartoon forms. Shows
such as the Simpsons, The Critic,
and South Park embraced the
political contexts and satirical j
nature that adult audiences
everywhere were starving w
for. As a fortunate byproduct to cartoons laced
with adult humor was
the ever-popular trend of
Anime. It was during the
1990s that the like-ability

Cowboy Bebop, and the
Dragonball series resonated with
audiences. While adults were
taking in Family Guy, younger

the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
Rugrats, and the Mighty Morphin'
Power Rangers.
4. Shake well and garnish with memorable events
and trends
Encompassed within the decade of the 90s are a host of milestones
that continue to influence the culture of today. Headlines explained
of Bradley NowelPs heroin overdose, Left-Eye's arsenal, the death
of Princess Diana, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the tragic
shootings at Columbine High School. Teenagers sported artistry on
the smalls of their backs, chests, and biceps as well as an array of
body piercings hung from various orifices and lobes as symbols of
rebellion. Michael Jackson rose in popularity only to fall victim to
charges on his integrity. Meanwhile, his sister Janet came out of the
era looking younger somehow. The decade was a constant reminder
that yes, the 80s were over and the end of the world was near.
Once compiled, place all ingredients in a large pot, douse with experiences and bring to a simmer. In approximately 30
minutes of cooking time, and consequential retrospect, the aroma of your final product should reek of Teen Spirit and
White House scandals of the sexual nature. It should faintly emanate the roar of pro-wrestling and Gigapets while tasting
